KZN’S FAVOURITE READ
from the Editor
I
had a wonderful and unexpected reunion with an old friend last week. I was at the radio station at the Lifestyle Centre getting ready for the Afternoon Drive Show when our studio manager, Danielle Fisher, spotted Johnny Clegg outside the studio.
I hadn’t seen him since his big show at the Playhouse in Durban a few years back so it was great to reconnect. He was staying in Ballito because he was booked to perform at the International Aids Convention in Durban, so we agreed to meet for breakfast at Zara’s on Thursday morning. It was interesting to hear how the music industry has changed of late. The digital download phenomenon has all but killed the recording industry and the only way artists are making money these days is from live performances and the sale of merchandise. But even live performances have been scaled down to make them viable. In the past Johnny toured the USA with an entourage of fifteen. Now they are touring with fewer than half that number and everyone has to double up and perform various functions to make it work. He has recently returned from a concert tour of the USA and Canada
with his eldest son, Jesse, who has become a formidable talent in his own right. This was, he tells me, the best bonding road trip ever, working and living in close proximity to the son for whom he wrote the hit song “Cruel Crazy Beautiful World”, ironically undergoing a revival in the form of a 2016 remix by Australian Deejay, Chris Sen. It was wonderful shooting the breeze and enjoying memories from earlier times – he reminded me how he managed a chicken farm in Knoppieslaagte (even though he knew nothing about chickens) while he was studying for his Master’s degree - we were contemporaries at Wits in the seventies and early eighties. There were other reminiscences too, some of them rather sad, but then, no one lives forever. Ironically later on that same morning I attended the memorial service of another dear friend. Rod Briggs was one of the most colourful of the dramatis personae in the story of my life thus far. We met in a bar in the seventies – I was paying my way through varsity as a pub singer and he was one of the very few patrons that bothered to listen in that packed posh after-work watering hole at the Rand International Hotel in Johannesburg and we became good friends. Over the years the dynamics of our lives changed many times and we lost touch for ages but reconnected in Ballito. Rod was larger than life both literally and figuratively and had a formidable intellect that was both awe inspiring and intimidating. He loved life and lived it to the full, sharing wisdom and a philosophy that made
sense of the random chaos of it all. He wrote beautifully…and contributed some of the most intelligent and inspiring articles to this publication that we have ever published. His passing has left a giant void in the lives of all who knew and loved him and our hearts go out to his wife, Fiona and the family he loved so much. On Thursday evening we attended the launch of the new Jaguar F-Pace at SMD. The SMD Group showrooms are home to Jaguar /Land Rover, Ballito Ford and exciting luxury motoring marques, supercars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls Royce and other top exotics. It’s a fabulous setting, complete with coffee shop, boutiques and high performance simulators and with Radio Life & Style now streaming through the entire establishment this is the place to be if you love the world of motoring. The F-Pace is Jaguar’s first venture into the SUV market and is comfortably now one of the most exciting vehicles on the road. The launch in Ballito was a great success and there are two derivatives of the F-Pace on show to the public at the SMD showrooms. I think it would look super emblazoned with Life & Style livery… well, it doesn’t hurt to think big… Welcome to another edition of Life & Style, also online www.lifeandstyle.fm

Property is our business. People our passion.
IDA DU PLOOY HARCOURTS DOLPHIN COAST “Real Estate cannot be lost or stolen nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world!” Franklin D. Roosevelt.
S
INCE 2015 the South African property market has seen a change from a Sellers’ Market (shortage of properties for sale) to a Buyers’ Market (reluctant buyers and a bigger choice of properties for sale)
Tips to help you when selling your property in a Buyers’ Market. PICK YOUR AGENT CAREFULLY: Smart sellers should be aware that there is a HUGE difference between agents operating in the property sales market. Since joining the real estate profession 16 years ago, much good has happened in the property industry, with prescribed qualifications needed to obtain a legal licence to operate; many of the “fly-by-night” operators have left the industry. However, you still need to assure that your agent is fully trained and qualified to be handling the sale of your biggest asset. In all industries the 20/80 rule is the norm, but you may be surprised that in the property industry only 7% of estate agents conclude property sales. This leaves 93% of agent’s out there that may be the cause of great disappointment to you. How do you go about finding that agent? By understanding what the most important tasks are your estate agent should be doing for you. 1. CORRECT PRICING: Exceptional agents will avoid giving in to the temptation to say that what will make the seller happy. They will use their training and understanding of the market to present you with a comparable and market related appraisal. Pricing your property too high may result in selling for much less than the qualified agent’s original price. Ask your agent to supply you with a wellresearched CMA – Comparative Market Analysis. 2. MARKETING PLAN: Your chosen agent should market the heck out of the property. Great photos and excellent marketing is another factor you should be looking out for. It is appalling what some agents post on the web. Your property should be presented at its very best. Your agent should be using every avenue to “put your property out there” using every platform available. Investing not in the cheapest, but the best agent will reap substantial benefits. The saying:” You get what you pay for” has never been more true. 3. COMMUNICATION: As a seller you should always be informed as to what is going on with the sale of your property. So many
agents only check back with you once they have an offer to present to you. Even when no offers are forthcoming, you as seller should be kept informed, as no activity indicates that buyers are “passing your property by”. A good agent should report all news, good or bad to you so that you may make informed decisions regarding the price, condition as well as market conditions.

4. CONFIRM THAT YOUR BUYER IS QUALIFIED: A good agent will qualify all his buyers to avoid disappointment. Not only can you be tied up with a nonpreforming buyer, but serious buyers are hindered in making you a good offer. 5. UNDERSTAND ALL CLAUSES IN THE CONTRACT. Be wary not to tie yourself contractually in a sale agreement without understanding the contents thereof. Should you receive an offer subject to the buyer selling his property first, always make sure that you have an “out clause” clause in your contract. This will give you the right to continue to market your property and in the event of a better offer, your first offer then has a limited time (7 to 10 days) to honour his first offer. That way you will not lose out on a better second offer. 6. NEGOTIATE THE TERMS: The best agents will go out of their way to fight for the best terms and conditions for their sellers. As the seller find the agent who will negotiate with your best interest in mind. 7. SELLER DECLARATION: Declare all defects regarding your property. Good agents will make very sure that they are well informed about all the good and bad of your home and protecting you from any problems concerning the Consumer Protection Act .
Traits of a good agent:
• Honesty above all. • Professionalism. From the way they dress to their manners, your agent must represent you and your property in a manner that is an extension of yourself. • Good communication skills • Strong negotiator • Creative marketer – remember that you do not want an agent doing the bare minimum. Ask for their Marketing plan. Exceptional company and personal reputation – are the agent and the firm leaders in the industry? Experience and proven results – how do the agent measure up in the market? When dealing with the best, you can expect the best results. At Harcourts Dolphin Coast we take pride in our reputation of delivering exceptional service. Property is our business but people are our passion. Call us to present our marketing plan to take the stress out of selling your home. We are looking for qualified and experienced agents to join our A Team at Harcourts Dolphin Coast and Umdloti.

READING – THE TINA COWLEY BALLITO WAY
T
INA COWLEY developed the unique “Cowley technology” assisted reading methods to overcome her own son’s reading problem. Her research revealed that reading dysfunction that had in the past stigmatized many children in the education system as backward.
Statistically this is a serious problem in South Africa but the Cowley reading centers are achieving an 8% to 40% increases in student averages on all subjects due to better reading skills. This is achieved through a scientific assessment of your child’s reading ability to fully understand the problem. Leanie and her team then work systemically to ensure that all micro systems work together as a macro systems and address all the basic skills of reading. After the initial assessment the results are discussed with the parent, to determine what therapy will be done on a weekly basis. Students then receive therapy once a week for an hour and a half, depending on the assessment results. With Cowley reading methods, results are guaranteed. Albert Einstein, possibly the greatest scientist of all time and a name we most commonly associate with genius only started reading at age 11. By the age of twelve he was a brilliant mathematician and physicist, despite not being gifted in language. We also address Afrikaans and English Comprehension, spelling and basic language understanding and skills. If your child is struggling at school, let us help you! Call Leanie on 079 051 3346 to find out more.

DIY TWO-INGREDIENT MIRACLE MASK BANANA AND HONEY MIRACLE MASK INGREDIENTS: 1 small or ½ large banana 1 tsp honey Instructions: Cut the banana into slices, and then add to a bowl along with the honey. Using the back of a fork, mash the two ingredients together until well mixed. Apply the mask to clean skin. Leave on 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. WHY IT WORKS: Bananas are high in vitamins C, A, E, B6, and B12, along with potassium and magnesium. When you apply these vitamins directly to your skin, they can improve your complexion, control oil production, and even reduce the appearance of fine lines. The honey in the mask has natural antimicrobial properties, which can help fight acne and promote healing of blemishes or acne scars. It also has the ability to help your skin absorb and retain moisture.
HOW TO: MAKE YOUR OWN LIP EXFOLIATOR And for a super moisturizing DIY body scrub, just skip the honey and keep a big jar of brown (or white) sugar/olive oil mix in your shower. Your skin will be happy, moisturized and gorgeously glowing without having to take an extra 5 minutes to slather on lotion afterwards.
To celebrate Lifestyle Health’s 10 Year Anniversary! This Wednesday 27th July Lifestyle Health is having a day of giveaways, prizes, tasters and so much more! Up for grabs are 8 hampers valued at over R1000 each and two special hampers valued closer at R2000! The hampers are made up of a variety of amazing Lifestyle Health products from supplements to snacks to chocolates to essential oils to soaps to bath salts to lip balm!

Moisturize throughout the day, but try using body lotion even before you’ve left the shower, right after rinsing soap or body wash. It will help lock in some extra moisture. Rinse off and pat dry.
4. Watch the shower temp
Hot showers feel great in winter, but they wreak havoc on dry skin. Try a lukewarm shower instead, then pat your skin dry with a towel. Apply moisturizer (again) as soon as you step out of the shower.
5. Don’t blow it
If you’re already dealing with dry, brittle hair, resist the urge to reach for the hair dryer. It’ll only make things worse. Dry and style your hair with a towel, and if you still use a dryer, time yourself and try to use it a little less.
6. Pucker up
Chapped lips can be a big problem in winter. The air dries out my lips, which makes me lick them, which makes them chap even worse! Use a lip balm with at least SPF 15 and preferably one with antiseptic agents to aid in healing. Some lip balm products are made with tea tree oil, which helps heal painful cracks. I also like lip balms with phenol, beeswax, aloe, vitamin E and essential oils.

The Renovation Dream Team

THE PROJECT:
T
o take Life & Style HQ, an elderly rather plain house in Stella Road, Ballito, and renovate it on a limited budget to increase the value in both lifestyle and property terms by using a network of local professionals and their suppliers. We call them, The Renovation Dream Team, each selected on merit and how well they work as a team to bring the project in on time and on budget.
The house was professionally valued before the project and the same property professional will return to do a second appraisal after the renovation. Will the project be a success or will we have horribly overcapitalised? You be the judge.

Radio Life & Style 88.0fm : The Renovation Dream Team Feature – every Tuesday at 4.pm Weekly video showing progress so far www. lifeandstyle.fm In Print – Life & Style every fortnight.
Over the past two weeks CHAPMAN BUILDERS have stripped the top floor of the house, demolishing walls, moving doorways, lifting tiles and stripping the kitchen, guest toilet and en-suite bathroom to main bedroom. EASY SKIPS has been extremely busy and as we are still working from the property, we have been impressed at how the rubble and dust has been kept to a minimum with rapid removal and replacement of the skip. The trades have been fantastic, working alongside to get the pipework and electrical conduit chased and set. ATOM GAS is responsible for the gas installation that will terminate at the hob in the centre of the kitchen so the pipe work has to be meticulous – and, so far it is! OHMS ELECTRICAL has been on point, chasing walls for the re-routing of cables, relocating plug points. They are working off detailed plans drawn by NEOSPACE ARCHITECTS who have interpreted the décor and design brief from REFRESHED DESIGNS who have reconceptualised the space, opening up the area and creating a flow onto a first floor deck to maximise the sea view and open air living. The design also calls for the stripping away of ceiling boards to create volume by exposing the rafters in the main entertainment areas. We think this is brilliant and …on paper…it looks wonderful but… will it work in practice? Watch this space. PLUMBING KZN has undertaken the re-plumbing of the building and have entirely reconfigured the upper storey according to the new plans. Richmond Plumbing has supplied some really top-end fixtures, fittings and furniture and they have saved a significant amount of space by fitting concealed cisterns in the walls. We can’t wait to see the end result. DESIGNER WOODEN DOORS AND WINDOWS have supplied the new windows and doors that are in the process of being installed…see how this goes in the next issue. So far work has progressed steadily and we are four weeks in to the twelve week project. With most of the wet work completed at this stage what comes next is sure to be exciting. Watch this space…

INC CHURCH recently held a function to honour and thank all of the members of the South African Police Services from Umhlali Police Station for their service and dedication to keeping our community safe and secure.
Antonella Whitaker, Helen Bowyer, Kerry Ross-Kent & Tash Barnard
While the police services are often the subject of criticism in the media and public circles due to high levels of crime and a seeming lack of capacity to effectively combat crime, they are often called upon to put their Pastor Dylan and Tessa Jahnig lives on the line in difficult and dangerous circumstances. The Linc Church initiative was a way of thanking them for the work they do and expressing a commitment to support them spiritually in a partnership to create a better society for all. It was a lovely event and greatly appreciated by members of the service who turned out in large numbers to be there.

A FIRST FOR JAGUAR - THE F-PACE HAS LANDED
T
HE All-New Jaguar F-PACE is a performance SUV is now available in South Africa. Designed and engineered to offer the agility, responsiveness and refinement that all Jaguars are renowned for, it combines with unrivalled dynamics with everyday versatility.
The All-New F-PACE seats five occupants in absolute comfort. The interior is a perfect blend of premium materials and finishes, exquisite detailing, luxuries such as heated, electrically reclining rear seats, and cutting-edge technologies including the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system and 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster. With the 280kW supercharged V6 petrol engine from the F-TYPE
under its sculpted aluminium bonnet, the All-New F-PACE can accelerate from 0-100km/ h in just 5.5 seconds before reaching an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h The All-New F-PACE’s torque on-demand allwheel drive (AWD) system is Jaguar’s most sophisticated yet, and has the highest torque capacity. It features the advanced, in-house control system first developed for F-TYPE AWD: Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD). IDD preserves rear-wheel drive agility and handling character but can seamlessly transfer torque to the front wheels to exploit the performance benefits of extra traction, on all surfaces and in all weathers. Infotainment and connectivity technology is just as advanced. The
premium InControl Touch Pro system is based around a 10.2-inch touchscreen, with a powerful quad-core processor and solid-state drive, and runs on ultra-fast Ethernet. The user interface is intuitive, the graphics sharp and incredibly responsive. The navigation system can save you time by learning your commute, offers true door-to-door guidance and can even advise others of your arrival time. Navigation can also be shown full-screen – in 3D – in the 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster. The All-New F-PACE also brings the world debut of Jaguar’s Activity Key. A waterproof, shockproof wristband with an integrated transponder, this segmentfirst, wearable technology supports active lifestyles because it allows the keyfob to be securely locked inside
the vehicle – invaluable if you’re going surfing, for example, or kayaking. Locking the All-New F-PACE using the Activity Key will disable any keyfobs left inside. Activity Key works on the same RF frequencies as the other keys and is used to lock and unlock the vehicle by holding it in close proximity to the J of the Jaguar lettering on the tailgate. Activity Key has no battery, so you never have to worry about changing it. The F-PACE will be available with a range of
Jaguar engines that offer a balance of efficiency and performance. These are the 132kW 2.0-litre diesel, the 221kW 3.0-litre diesel, and the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol, with outputs of either 250kW or 280kW. All F-PACE models sold in South Africa are equipped with Jaguar’s eight-speed automatic transmission and All-Wheel Drive. The All-New F-PACE is manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull Plant alongside the Jaguar XE sports sedan.

THE 2016 JEEP WRANGLER build faithfully on the reputation and the look of the past, with just enough contemporary features and modern amenities. like a Wrangler; its boxy shape shares the aerodynamic properties of a barn door.
T
HE Jeep Wrangler is a throwback to the brand’s earliest days as a military supplier. Whether by chance or by design, the purpose-build off-roader has endured decades and has become one of the brand’s best-selling vehicles. There are few things on the road that look
Jeep has managed to keep this model’s authenticity not just by preserving its ability, but in maintaining all sorts of details that you might not have otherwise thought could carry over to the present day. The door hinges are still exposed, attached to flat sheet metal that pointedly avoids mass-market appeal. And you can still completely remove its top and doors and flip down the windshield. Jeep is proud to say that the Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door convertible SUV, which is admittedly a small market.
The 2016 Wrangler remains a bit crude, but considering where it came from, and where it can take you, the Wrangler is now liveable, thanks to vital changes made over the past few model years. A few years ago, the Wrangler gained some serious hardware upgrades—in the form of Chrysler’s latest 3.6-liter V-6, plus a new (well, a sturdy Mercedes-Benz hand-me-down) 5-speed automatic. A 6-speed manual is still offered, too, but the V-6 and automatic combination are a smooth, willing pair, capable of dashing to 100kmph in a much faster 8.4 seconds for the Wrangler Unlimited, or 7.7 seconds for the twodoor model. There’s surprisingly strong passing pep, and revs are kept low. Dull, but sturdy recirculating-ball steering gear is one point to criticize if you tend to keep to streets and highways, and the ride quality still isn’t great. If you head to the trail—and just about any trail, with the Wrangler—the sacrifices might feel well worth it. The tough body-on-frame chassis and solid
front and rear axles that established the Wrangler as one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market continues to wow, with lots of clearance, a rugged underbody with protective skid plates, and terrific boulder-scrambling prowess. The new Wrangler is more refined now, and it’s a dramatic transformation. The Wrangler has shed its cheap, plastic roots in favour of a modern instrument panel that is curvy and upright, with soft-touch materials in a few, key areas. Don’t be fooled: even the new Wranglers can be hosed down after a raucous ride outside. Over the past couple of years Jeep has introduced a host of improvements to cut noise and vibration, and anyone with experience in older models will find the new Wrangler far quieter inside. It’s more tolerable for commuters than it used to be, for sure. There’s a little more gear whine and road noise if you opt for the manual transmission, but considering the sharp-edged exterior there’s not all that much wind noise, even at 120kmph.
