This March, Johannesburg will be hosting a range of exciting events that won't dent your wallet.
From as little as R50 to R250, here is the best budget-friendly events to attend. Whether you're a foodie, an art lover, or a music enthusiast, there's always something for everyone
First up on our lineup of budget-friendly events in Johannesburg this March is 'Mental Matters: Healing Through My Art,' a powerful initiative founded by Gugu Masondo.
Inspired by her own experiences with psychiatric hospitalization and the taboo surrounding mental health conversations in her community, Gugu aims to create a safe space for knowledge sharing and awareness.
As she so eloquently puts it: "I want to share knowledge that sparks something within."
This event, happening on March 8th, 2025, brings together various artists who have lived experiences, including Samukelo Ndlovu, to explore the healing potential of art.
Through creative expression, mindfulness, emotional release, self-reflection, and building confidence, Gugu's initiative empowers individuals to confront, express, and heal from emotional pain. With tickets priced at R200-R250, this event is a valuable investment in your mental wellness and creative expression.
