May the Fourth be with you, Mzansi
In a galaxy not so far away (right here, actually), South Africans are gearing up to honour the force, 1 braai at a time. Whether you’re a Padawan or full-on Sith Lord, there’s a uniquely local way to celebrate Star Wars Day. So buckle up, young Skywalker. Here’s how to mark the fourth of May, South African style.
Binge the saga… With a snack upgrade
Let’s be honest. Watching The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker is a mission. But with a stash of biltong, koeksisters, and ghost pops on standby, it becomes a lekker mission. Round up your fellow rebels, choose your trilogy (original, prequels, sequels… No judgement here) and settle in for a force-filled binge.
DIY dress-up
You don’t need a Hollywood budget to cosplay. A brown blanket becomes a Jedi robe, a red hoodie channels your inner Kylo Ren, and if you wave a vuvuzela like a lightsaber? That’s the way, boet.
Spice up the office with a little force flair
Skip the usual ‘Morning, Susan’. Try ‘The force is strong with your spreadsheet skills’ or ‘This meeting is our only hope.’ Extra points if you sneak ‘ja no’ into a Yoda sentence. Local is lekker, even in the workplace galaxy.
Protect your Millennium Falcon
Now, what does this have to do with insurance? Everything. Just like Han Solo wouldn’t fly the Falcon without backup, you shouldn’t be hitting the roads without car insurance that actually has your back. The king’s comprehensive car insurance has your car covered for theft, accidents, acts of nature… Even Ewok invasions (okay, not really, but close).
