Johannesburg is gearing up for a busy weekend filled with motoring thrills, live music, amapiano, theatre and outdoor fun.

From the roar of engines at Kyalami to a day-to-night party in Newtown, there is plenty to keep Joburg residents entertained from Friday, August 28, to Sunday, August 30.

Here are five things to do in Johannesburg this weekend.

Motoring enthusiasts can head to Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit for the return of the Festival of Motoring.
