On 8 May South Africans will head to their nearest voting stations to cast their votes in the National Elections. The day has been declared a public holiday and this means we’ll have some time on our hands once voting is done. Here are a few exciting ideas on how you can spend the rest of your voting day:

Family Picnic
There are many really exciting places around Johannesburg that are perfect for getting the family out of the city and into the fresh air. Here are a few suggestions:
- Horwood’s Farm
- Johannesburg Botanical Gardens
- Johannesburg Zoo Lake
- Gillooly’s Farm
Alternatively, pack a picnic basket and enjoy a picnic in the garden.
Go Wild
Make the public holiday a learning one and pack the children into the car and head to the Zoo. If you’re looking for something a little more on the wild side, consider taking a trip to the Lion Park.
Tea Party Time
Grab a few delightful treats from the Karaglen SuperSpar deli and host a tea party. We also have a stunning range of flavoured teas to treat your guests.
Relax with a book
Public holidays would not be public holidays if we didn’t get the chance to relax a little. With winter starting to set in we suggest you grab a sunny spot in the house and snuggle up with a good book.
