Open Season

Today is the 16th of December, and whether your employer recognises it or not, it's the official opening of the festive season in South Africa.

You can tell people they have work to do, but they can feel the festivities in the air. Heck, you can smell it. It's the smell of GP number plates, peroxided hair and short-term relationships ending.

Whether your holidays start today or not, every South African needs a Dezemba survival pack. It consists of the following: a camping chair so you can relax on the go (it's not an oxymoron if you're in SA), a full cooler box for sharing, a steady supply of wood for the fire, and...

Some sick sneakers, so you can take part in our national pastime... Squeaking têkkie.
