It's time to visit our 10 Bugged locations
Updated | By East Coast Radio
Bugged Season 2 highlighted the awesomeness of KZN with 10 locations you need to visit.
Congrats to our ten winners from season two of Bugged!
We know you've all been furiously trying to solve the clues over the last few weeks - and we've had a blast accompanying you on your journey to trying to find the right location.
While we can't all be winners, let's be honest with ourselves... we are already winners living in the magnificent province of KwaZulu-Natal!
While Bugged was in part about securing that cash prize, it was also about exploring our amazing surroundings, so why not do just that once again by picking one or two (or ten) of our Bugged locations for a visit and celebrating all things KZN?
