What’s on this weekend
JOBURG - The weekend is upon us, and once again, Johannesburg is not short of things to do.

Newtown’s Mary Fitzgerald Square will be transformed into an electronic music wonderland from 4pm by acts including Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus, and Das Kapital at the Mad Decent Block Party.
If hip-hop or rap is more your scene, US star Kendrick Lamar will perform a concert at Joburg Stadium, Doornfontein, from 6pm.
On Sunday, shopaholics can get their spending fix at either Rosebank Mall’s Finders Keepers Market or at Maboneng Precinct’s Market on Main.
