As we pass into the second half of 2022 we have another africast episode available as we look forward to August and all the new releases it has for us.
Starting with some news, however, and we’re looking even further into October as South Africa is set to get its fifth LEGO store in Mall of Africa. We also discuss what makes this store different from a regular toy store and why you should visit.
Next up is a report which looks at the safety of the cheapest cars available for sale in South Africa. Unfortunately the cars aren’t nearly as safe or as cheap as you’d expect, but the investigation is still invaluable for buyers.
