Polokwane entertainment – Pietersburg casino, cinema & events
Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by admin in Polokwane
There’s not much in the way of entertainment in Polokwane other than the fantastic new stadium, the nearby casino and a cinema. But this area of South Africa is supposed to be explored and most of the what people get up to for Polokwane entertainment relates to the great outdoors and the terrific opportunities for seeing wildlife. But a go cart track and mini golf course are great distractions for kids.
