My boy's first Comic Con ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธโค๏ธ Comic Con Africa
Today was a big one. My son's very first Comic Con. He's only four, so we knew we had a short window โ€” arrived at 9, three hours on the clock โ€” but we made every minute count. And we both went as our favourite hero: two Spider-Men. ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ
What a place for a little one to experience for the first time. The costumes, the shops, the whole world of it โ€” his face the entire time made it worth every cent. As an experience, it's a full 5/5.
And here's the Kief Deal part: there's a Takealot stall right by the kids' zone with everything 60 to 70% off. So after we filmed the food stalls for you all, I let my boy loose to pick a sick toy:
๐Ÿงธ He chose the Bluey plane
๐ŸŽ„ The wife grabbed a Nightmare Before Christmas Lego set
๐Ÿช– And I got an Imperial mask (had to)
All of it up to 70% off โ€” at Comic Con of all places.
Days like this are everything. โค๏ธ
Comic Con Africa runs all weekend, so if you're still deciding โ€” go. (And check my last video for the full food price breakdown before you do.)

Is Comic Con Africa food a ripoff? ๐ŸŽฎ Here are the real prices
Comic Con Africa is on (Thursday to Sunday), and the big question everyone asks is: is the food ridiculously expensive? I took the family through on day one to find out โ€” and honestly, you can relax.
It's R300 a ticket at the gate, and once you're in there are somewhere around 50 to 80 food stalls, with something for every budget:
๐Ÿฅž Pancakes โ€” R12 each (yep, R12!) โญโญโญโญ
๐ŸฅŸ 2x chicken bao buns + chips โ€” R160 for the two of us to share โญโญโญโญ (there's a whole anime stall doing ramen and sushi tacos too)
๐Ÿฆ Sola-pop ice cream โ€” R30
๐Ÿฉ 4 mini doughnuts โ€” R45 (tip: one doughnut shop does a half portion, where most make you buy the full one)
๐ŸŒญ Chips and a sausage from around R50 ยท ๐Ÿ’ง water R24
So no, it's not all pricey or huge portions โ€” from R50 snacks to R160 meals, and the queues move fast.
The experience itself? A full 5/5. The costumes, the shops, the whole atmosphere โ€” super cool fun for the whole family.
Coming up next: a full walkthrough and all the toys we scored ๐ŸŽ

The hidden gem of Dullstroom ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ•๏ธ Trout River Falls
A new Kief Stays โ€” and what a place to start. Trout River Falls is a family-run lodge just outside Dullstroom (10โ€“20 min out of town), so you're surrounded by nature instead of the tourist crowds.
๐Ÿ’ง A genuinely stunning waterfall, a 5-minute walk from your room
๐Ÿ›บ A golf cart collects you at your car and takes your bags right to your door
๐ŸŽฃ Fly fishing โ€” 3 dams and a 2km river with trophy trout (catch & release, R350 per person)
๐Ÿพ Pet friendly, with breakfast and pizzas on the weekends
๐Ÿ’ฐ The room we stayed in was R4,000 for two people, two nights over a weekend.
My honest take: venue and waterfall views 5/5, the room a solid 4/5 โ€” all your amenities, beautifully done.
๐Ÿ“ Trout River Falls, off the R540 between Dullstroom & Lydenburg, Mpumalanga.

8 pizzas + a free birthday pizza for my boy's birthday lunch ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽ‰
Ordered from Petrone's in Dowerglen a day ahead with my collection time, and it was ready fresh and hot, right on the dot. They even threw in a free birthday pizza for my boy ๐ŸŽ‚ (and yes โ€” the Kief Deal Bandits made the spread ๐Ÿ‘€).
Taste and experience: 5/5. Zero party stress. Paid full price, as always.

R49 for a burger, chips AND a drink โ€” at a golf club ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿบ Tee Bar & Grill, Dowerglen
Let me put this one in perspective for you. At most pubs, a single b**r costs you around R49. At the Tee Bar & Grill โ€” the restaurant at Dowerglen Golf Club โ€” that R49 gets you a fresh beef burger, chips, AND a b**r, w**e or c***r. The whole meal and a drink, for the price of one drink anywhere else.
And the setting is something else โ€” Dowerglen Golf Club is exclusive, beautiful and scenic, the kind of place you just want to sit with a cold one. The special runs every Tuesday, all day, so you can even take the family through in the evening.
Honest verdict, as always:
๐Ÿ” The burger โ€” properly lekka, especially at this price
๐Ÿบ Plus your drink included
Taste 8/10, Value a massive 9.5/10. I paid my own bill, slip's in the video.
๐Ÿ“ Tee Bar & Grill, Dowerglen Golf Club. Special: every Tuesday, all day.
Where else are you getting a meal AND a drink for R49? ๐Ÿ‘‡

VIP cinema from R87.50 in Bedfordview ๐ŸŽฌ NuMetro
Remember when drive-throughs were everywhere? Then they slowly died out. The same thing's happening to cinemas โ€” closing down, downsizing, because we're all streaming now. And streaming's comfyโ€ฆ but honestly, nothing beats a proper big-screen movie. Especially like this one.
This is NuMetro VIP in Bedfordview, and it's a whole different experience:
๐Ÿธ A full bar with waiter service
๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Proper leather recliner lazy-boys
๐Ÿ” You can order a meal and tell them exactly what time to bring it to your chair โ€” it arrives mid-movie
It used to cost hundreds. Now, VIP is R175 โ€” but here's the money-saver: with a rewards card it drops right down. We used my wife's Nedbank card and paid R87.50 (about ยฃ4 / $5.40) โ€” and Nedbank lets you buy multiple tickets on one card, so you can sort the whole family in one transaction. ๐Ÿ‘Œ
Honest heads-up: the other partners on the board (ABSA Rewards, Edgars Club, Momentum Multiply from R70, Sanlam Reality) also have deals, but I haven't checked their terms โ€” so check your own card, they vary. And if your bank isn't on NuMetro's list, they might do discounts with Ster-Kinekor instead โ€” worth a look.
๐Ÿ“ NuMetro VIP, Bedfordview
Who still loves a proper cinema night? ๐Ÿ‘‡

The bunny chow that changed my mind ๐Ÿ› Modern Tailors, Rosebank
I'll be honest with you โ€” I usually don't love Indian food from restaurants. It's often overpriced for what you get, small portions, and too much bony stew instead of proper meat. So I went into this one a sceptic. Modern Tailors changed my mind completely.
It's in The Zone at Rosebank, and their weekly lunch special board (11amโ€“4pm) is one of the best I've seen. But here's the magic: when you order a bunny chow, they bake your bread FRESH, to order, in these old coffee tins. I've never seen that anywhere โ€” most places use bread baked that morning, or the day before. Freshly baked bunny bread on the spot is a genuine 10/10 experience.
We went in as a family. Matt had the lamb bunny (R165), I had the chicken bunny (R115), and my wife had the daily lamb curry. Proper portions, real tender meat, not a bone in sight โ€” and every single one was a 9/10. The curry's rich, the bread's unreal.
A tip: on Thursdays it's "Bunny & B**r" โ€” you get a free Devil's Peak draught with any bunny chow. They've also got daily curry specials, Friday biryani, and a happy hour. As always, we paid our own bill and showed the slip. ๐Ÿงพ
For Rosebank โ€” one of the priciest spots in Joburg โ€” this is a genuine find, and I'd highly recommend it.
๐Ÿ“ Modern Tailors, The Zone, Rosebank (also in Groenkloof Plaza, Pretoria). Lunch specials weekly, 11amโ€“4pm.
Who's trying the fresh-baked bunny? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ• IT'S HERE โ€” the KIEF DEAL BANDIT is on Petrone's Pizzeria menu from today (Dunvegan, Edenvale).
We designed a pizza. A real one. On a real menu.
The world's most-loved flavour combo on one base โ€” Italian salami, bacon, peppadews, creamy cheese, fresh avo, rocket, and that balsamic drizzle poured at your table. Wood-fired, made by a family that actually cares.
A pizza like this anywhere else? Two hundred bucks, easy. At Petrone's? R137. Am I biased? I designed it. Go judge for yourself.
Available every day EXCEPT Mondays (Petrone's closed). Limited-time run.
๐Ÿž๏ธ AND to celebrate โ€” WIN A WEEKEND AWAY
One of you is going to Trout River Falls for a weekend โ€” a R4,000 stay for two, plus a R600 fuel voucher from Kief Deals to help you get there.
