“Summer: Hair gets lighter. Skin gets darker. Water gets warmer. Drinks get colder. Music gets louder. Nights get longer. Life gets better.” South Africa goes into holiday mode in December. It is the traditional time of the year to spend quality time with your family. While there are formal outings and events aplenty, you do not need to blow your cash to make the most of this festive time.
