While many of us are soldiering on amid Janu-Worry, Mzansi’s A-listers are living it up and soaking in the sun on on various holiday destinations.
From island living where the water is so blue to spending quality time with the family and loved ones, it seems like this is the perfect time for many to kick back and unwind.
Entertainers like Afro-house DJ Oscar Mbo are usually booked and busy in December, catering to festive season lovers and performing at events countrywide.
It’s no easy business keeping the country entertained during the summer holidays when festivals, outdoor concerts and club appearances are on the celebs’ agenda, so a post-festive January holiday is just the right time for South Africa’s top entertainers to take their much-needed break.
