It’s been an interesting week. We’re recovering from the load shedding drama, Tito delivered his budget speech on Wednesday, and the weather is finally coming around.

It’s been hectic; you deserve a break. Head out to your nearest cinema, get popcorn and cherry slush, sit back and just tune out of it all for two hours or so.

You can look forward to the heart-warming tale of an adolescent student just trying to make her way through eighth grade. There’s also an animation for the kiddos and some romance for the grown-ups.
