Validity & Types of passes There are two types of Nelson Mandela Bay Visitors Passes namely: The 5 in 1 pass as well as unlimited access passes.

The 5 in 1 pass is valid for three months and limits you to any five of the offers. The City and Township tour offer is limited to either a City Tour or a Township Tour and pass holders can not do both with one pass.

The 5 in 1 pass includes any five of the attractions and activities advertised and can be used on any day within the three month period.

You also qualify for the shopping and transport discounts available on the pass for the three month duration of the pass validity.

The pass expires three months from the date purchased.

NMB Unlimited Itinerary Passes The unlimited itinerary passes are valid for one, two, three and seven days depending on the period you want to purchase it for.

Eco-Friendly ideas Springtime is a time of rebirth and regeneration for nature, but it can also be a time of unnecessary waste during the Easter holiday. Luckily, going green doesn’t mean cancelling the egg hunt or replacing chocolate with carrot sticks.

Check out these tips for ecofriendly Easter celebrations that everyone will love.

Cut out plastic eggs Using plastic eggs can be extremely wasteful, especially when you’re purchasing new eggs each year. Instead, try biodegradable goody bags, a compostable Easter egg option, wooden eggs, or try wool felted eggs. If you must use plastic eggs, store them in a safe place so you can reuse them each year.

Gift an experience rather than an object Easter baskets are often stuffed to the brim with new toys, candy, and chocolate.

Rather than teaching your children a culture of materialism, offer a gift that you can share and experience together instead of a toy they’ll forget about by May. Consider a trip to the zoo to see the new baby animals, a visit to a park to see the seasons change in nature, or a cooking class using fresh, natural ingredients.

Second-hand Easter egg basket Rather than purchasing a new, plastic Easter basket, consider shopping at your local thrift store or second-hand shop instead.

They’ll have plenty of rustic options, and you’ll be preventing more waste. You can also get creative and make your own, using colorful ceramicware, buckets, or even umbrellas and rain boots.

Try natural dyes for Easter eggs One of the most beloved celebrations for Easter is dying eggs. However, many storebought dyes are full of chemicals that can run into natural waterways and pollute freshwater ecosystems. Try natural dyes from fruits, vegetables, and spices you find in your kitchen. To use natural ingredients, boil 1 quart of water with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and simmer with the ingredients for 30 minutes. Then, cool and strain the dye and let soak for at least 30 minutes. Use red cabbage in water for a vibrant blue, try red onions for a jade green, grape juice makes a great lavender, and paprika creates a pink-red.

Organic or fair-trade chocolate Easter traditions often include chocolates and other bunnyshaped treats. If you opt for chocolate in your Easter basket, consider purchasing chocolate that is locally produced to support your local chocolatiers. These options are readily available at your local grocer.

ECO-CONSCIOUS: This year get creative and make your own natural dyes from fruits, vegetables, and spices you find in your kitchen to paint Easter eggs.

Tips for a stress free Easter

Like any holiday, Easter can be stressful... and expensive. But it doesn’t have to be. There are ways to have a fantastic Easter holiday, without the burden and stress. Here are three things you can do to minimise the drama of the holidays.

Prepare Planning ahead is the best way to tackle a big holiday. Get as much preparation out of the way before the Easter long weekend begins. You can do this by keeping a magnetised shopping list on your fridge. You can start by planning your meals well in advance and jotting down a shopping list, in the run up to Easter, so that you know exactly what you need to buy before the holiday begins. This also helps to curb overspending.

Do the same with other tasks like spring cleaning or activity planning.

This year Splash will feature four performance stages, with the main stage located on the grass patch in front of the Super Tubes.

Other stages will be set up for the food court, the beer tent, and food demonstrations and for the comedy.

The entertainment line-up is star-studded, with performances from comedian Celeste Ntuli, homegrown rapper Biggie, singer Nkosazana Daughter, food writer and award-winning cookbook author Zola Nene, My Kitchen Rules

Festival goers will also be able to catch the national Volleyball SA Championship broadcast on SuperSport at the Galaxy Bingo Beach Arena, where there will also be beach stalls, sand artists, and a performance by Gqeberha favourite Gino Fabbri.

Headlining on Sunday is singer, songwriter, restauranteur, and television personality J’Something, who will perform twice.

First, in the newly sponsored Spar Food Tent, where he will show off his gastronomical skills, before joining local act Jay Em on the main stage to perform some of his greatest hits.

If you’re a foodie, you won't want to miss the Spar Food Tent, where there will be various cooking demonstrations and stand-up comedy in the evenings.

And for the little ones, there’s the Fun 4 U Fairground, the Easter

IsiXhosa music festival is back with more heat IsiXhosa Music Festival is a unique content festival organised by Koloni Group, and delivered in partnership with Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and Umhlobo WeneneFM. The IsiXhosa Music Festival’s objectives are to promote the use of IsiXhosa language and to preserve the heritage, culture, traditions and customs of this rich NMB’s indigenous language.

The Music Festival will take place on April 29 at St George’s Park Cricket Stadium in Gqeberha – the same week as the country will be celebrating Freedom Month.

This second instalment is featuring the well renowned, talented and multi-award winners Ringo Madlingozi, Nathi Mankayi, Amanda Black, 047, Max-Hoba, Ntsika formerly of The Soil along with Zuko_SA, Dumza Maswana, Nomty Ngwetsheni, Zimsto Eroofini, Andy Ndlazilwana, Dongadala (poet), Joliza, Nosisi Mavela, Qhama Afrika Dance Group, Luckeez Mfowethu, Phila Madlingozi, Asanda Mqiki, KingJade & BabyJoe. Event organiser George Meko said: “The second Annual IsiXhosa

TOP ACTS: Some of the artists who wil be performing.

Music Festival is bringing a whole new experience to the community of Nelson Mandela Bay. “We are hosting three events in the upcoming months in honouring one of our beautiful indigenous African languages that was Tata

Mandela’s Mother tongue and the most commonly used language at home in Nelson Mandela Bay. “This series of events are meant to benefit the community, youth and small and medium enterprises in the Nelson Mandela Bay, and

South Africa as a whole. These events will greatly espouse the growth and development of the creative industry, township economy, tourism and hospitality sector, while they also contribute towards socialcohesion and nation-building.”

Small and medium enterprises in the Bay will benefit through craft stands, food trucks, accommodation and general hospitality.

Our first segment in the series was a workshop hosted on March 27. The King of IsiXhosa music in South Africa, Mr Ringo Madlingozi showed young musicians how to grow, nurture and mould their music craft.

Ringo Madlingozi is a multi-award winner who has almost 150 songs in catalogue. He has been in the industry for over 30 years and is a household name among music lovers across the language bar.

The festival seeks to attract overmore than 7000 patrons from across South Africa and this will form the second segment.

The third installment will be a corporate social initiative facilitated

by the event organisers on behalf of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and Umhlobo WeneneFM to celebrate Africa month on May 25.

“We would like to encourage all patrons to wear their traditional regalia when attending the festival.

“Everything about the festival will be in IsiXhosa from performances, food, the musical journey and experience.”

Tickets are available at Webticket and Pick n Pay. They start from R300 for general admission, R350 for Golden Circle and R1350 for VIP. Gates open at 10am and music events starts at noon and will continue through to midnight.

“Thank you to our sponsors Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, Sun Boardwalk, Mandela Bay Development Agency and to our media partners and sponsors Umhlobo WeneneFM and SABC, who all made all this possible.”

Leave a key with a friend so that they can collect any mail left in the letterbox. (Do not label the keys with your address or even your house number in case they fall into the wrong hands.

Make sure that your prepaid telephone and

electricity are topped up.

Make sure that all your valuables are stored in a safe place. Put any jewelery in a home safe. Ensure you have serial numbers of your valuables.

Cancel deliveries of newspapers etc discreetly – don’t announce your departure to a shop full of people – tell only those who need to know.

Even cutting the lawn before you go away can help to make it look less obvious that the house is unoccupied.

Preparing your car for a long drive We all look forward to taking road trips. Make sure your car is ready by doing some pre-emptive checks.

Checks you can do at home ● Make sure your tyres, as well as your spare tyre, are in good condition and filled to the correct pressure. ● Do you have a jack and are you sure you know how it works? ● Do you have a hazard triangle?

Many people include a reflective vest for extra safety. ● If you have a roadside assistance plan, make sure all details are up to date. ● Make sure you have a charged flashlight in the car. ● Are your jumper cables still in working condition and easy to reach? ● Check underneath your vehicle for any leaks. ● Check all fluid levels: vehicle oil and water, washer fluid and coolant. ● Are your wipers in good condition (not cracked or crumbling) and working correctly? ● Are there any chips or cracks on your windscreen? ● Is your license disc valid? ● Do you have a spare key in case of an emergency? ● Are all your lights working? ● Is your insurance up to date and are all possible drivers listed? ● Is your radio sound system set the way you like it?

Checks to be done at the dealership Most dealerships offer pre-holiday checks or 101-point vehicle checks.

SAFETY FIRST: With a vehicle that’s been checked and safety and comfort preparations made, the roads are yours to explore.

Remember your holiday vehicle checks Holidays and weekend breakaways are all about relaxing and recharging. Whether you’re planning an extended road trip or short visits to family and friends, there are things you can do to make sure your time away is frustration-free — at least when it comes to your car.

Get your vehicle checked Most dealerships offer free preholiday checks and we strongly advise everyone to make use of these.

Stock up on safety equipment Check that you have all your safety basics: a good first-aid and tyrechanging kit are essential.

Ensure you have a decent flash-

light and your emergency triangle is within easy reach.

Prep your playlists If you’re going to do a lot of driving, make sure everyone’s playlists are sorted and pack headphones for the kids.

Take charge Make sure everyone’s cables are compatible with your vehicle charge points and get converters if needed.

Snack like a pro We all know that road trip snacks are essential and that everyone has their preferences.

To keep things simple you can invest in one cooler bag for the car,

or individual small snack bags.

Keep it clean With all this snacking and singing, you’ll want to pack some bags to collect rubbish in the car.

Check your route Whether you’re doing a two-hour trip or driving across borders, knowing where key stopping points are will make your trip much more pleasurable. This allows you to plan for essential coffee and bathroom stops, and also lets passengers, especially the little ones, work off some energy.

Safe travels!
