Polokwane: nightlife

Polokwane: Nightlife

One of South Africa’s smaller cities, Polokwane is not known for its nightlife. But here are a few places for you to hang out after dark.

Jembe Tavern
Made popular during the apartheid regime in the townships, taverns — or shebeens as they are known — are some of the most popular places in the townships of South Africa, according to Fifa. And, when you are in Polokwane, the Jembe Tavern is the place to be. It’s popular with young and old alike and hosts popular bands, karaoke evenings and comedians.
