Macufe 2009 Temperature Check
Macufe 2009 climaxed with a roaring success this past weekend. This arts and culture event, which traditionally happens in October of each year in the heart of Free State, is seeing exponential growth since its humble beginnings 8 years ago. This year, different attendance numbers are being bandied around, from 100 000 to over 140 000 people. Despite lack of agreement on the actual attendance numbers, it was clear that the city of Bloemfontein was bursting at its seams. Certainly, the city’s travel and tourism and retail sectors were doing brisk business as revelers defied recession and travelled from as far afield as the Eastern Cape.
Now, let’s take a temperature check on Macufe 2009. Take part in this quick poll and see how others voted.
