SA loves the nightlife, we got to boogie - but not quite as much as before pandemic

South Africans are enjoying their sports, nightlife and other leisure activities again, but not quite to the same extent as before the Covid-19 pandemic. And their tastes have also changed slightly, with smaller outdoor venues still getting the lion's share.

Analytics firm Lightstone looked at six leisure activities over the 12 months to June this year - entertainment, holiday, recreational sport, stadium events, air travel, and nightlife.
