At least 27 events over the coming days

- 

THE City is expected to be a hive of activity over the Easter weekend, with concerts, rugby action, grassroots football and road running events keeping law enforcement officials busy.

Traffic volumes are also expected to peak this afternoon and tomorrow morning as travellers head to their holiday destinations.

The City said its Events Permit Office will be monitoring at least 27 events over the coming days.

First up is the 36th edition of the Bayhill Premier Cup preliminary and knockout rounds that kicked off last night until Sunday at Erica Park Stadium in Belhar.

Thirty-two teams from the Western Cape, the rest of South Africa and abroad, will battle it out for the chance to contend for the title of 2025 champions.

On Monday, the Athlone Stadium will host the finals where three titles, including the Roger Clayton Trophy, will be contested by six clubs that make it through the group and knockout stages.

Tomorrow, Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Lebo M will take the stage at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, with special guest Hans Zimmer.

For one unforgettable night, the show will take audiences on an emotional and nostalgic journey, celebrating Lebo M's remarkable career and cultural impact (see page 3).
