As most of you know, we are giving away two tickets to a lucky reader - and an even luckier friend - to join us at the Sun Met this Saturday and thanks to our friends at BLOOM Gin & Greenall's Gin we are going to be out there all day with a huge social media swarm.
If you don't win those tickets then have no fear because ZAlebs will be bringing you right along with us through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. With literally every major ZAleb in Mzansi showing up, there are some things we will want to watch out for and that you definitely won't want to miss out on.
The Queen of everything media, Bonang Matheba, will be attending the Sun Met, and she's just as excited as we are but who else will be there in their full African luxury attire?

We noticed that AKA was double tapping some of Bonang's Instagram stories - do you think he'll make an appearance to see her or will he be too preoccupied with that mystery woman he was spotted kissing after he announced his break up from DJ Zinhle?
Now, as you follow along from home, you will need to have the perfect drink and our friends at BLOOM Gin & Greenall's Gin have given us not one but two great recipes for you to enjoy throughout the day as you follow our every tweet and all our posts and updates on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Here are two creative (and delightfully pink) cocktail recipes to try whilst you sit back and watch ZAlebs broadcast live from the 2020 Sun Met.The Garden of Eden Cocktail with BLOOM Jasmin & Rose Gin. Photo credit: supplied

Just a note about summer, gin, gin and tonics and what we learned from our friends at BLOOM GIN and Greenall's - do you know that some gins have up to 90 grams of sugar per liter while Greenall's Wild Berry and BLOOM Jasmine and Rose Gins are deliciously sugar free? We didn't know either but now we do - and you do too.
