ID you enjoy the SALGA Games? Apart from creating a certain amount of traffic congestion as busloads of local government employees were bussed in to Ashton College to participate or watch, the games created not one iota of interest among the general populace of Ballito as far as I can determine. Nor, by all accounts, did it benefit Brand Ballito in any meaningful way. KwaDukuza Municipality’s decision to use ratepayers’ money earmarked for the upgrading of local beaches to fund this sporting jamboree, defies all logic.
A beach upgrade here is long overdue. In too many instances the E.coli levels are off the scale due to sewerage seepage onto the beaches and into the sea. Public toilet and ablution facilities are woefully inadequate as are lifeguard and security amenities and there is a huge need for better emergency equipment. General signage needs to be upgraded and the beaches need more regular cleaning and maintenance. Brand Ballito needs this if we are to continue to remain an attractive destination for tourism and investment. This would have been addressed to some degree by the roughly ten million rand that had been budgeted for the project and everyone would have benefited from the upgrade. But the money has now been squandered on the local government games with ostensibly nothing left to show for it. At least this is what I have been led to believe from various connected sources close to the problem. I have not yet received any official communique in this regard.
But this is just one example of local government chicanery – there are many others. We still have no police station, operational municipal buildings, taxi rank and functional tourism association for Brand Ballito. When our Dolphin Coast Residents and Ratepayers Association DOCRRA is fully operational next year, this will not be allowed to go unchallenged. The UIP is doing a fabulous job cleaning, greening and securing commercial nodes, but they need us to cover the areas beyond their scope and ambit of authority – together we will make a formidable team to build a better Ballito. I read with interest how, following his controversial firing of our former Minister of Finance, Nhlanhla Nene, Jacob Zuma explained to a gathering of black businessmen that they could have political power and starve. What they really need is economic power. Guess who controls the economic power in our region? And if we use it to our advantage, we could enjoy first class service delivery and a truly progressive local economy that will be hugely beneficial to everyone. But if we remain disengaged, if you are too busy or not interested enough to join DOCRRA, we will continue to be treated with disregard and the kind of official arrogance that casually takes money earmarked for the upgrade of public amenities and spends it on local government games…and we will be even more heavily put upon financially going forward. There is no doubt that we are in for another rates hike shortly and the electricity and water tariffs will follow suit. Do you have a say in this or how the money is being spent? Not at the moment…but when DOCRRA is fully supported, you will have. Have you joined the association yet? Have you encouraged your friends to join and are you on our social media
network so we can keep you informed about what is happening here? We don’t expect you to do anything beyond joining the association and receiving your membership number so you can fully access our website and communication network. This will soon also entitle you to discounts from accredited suppliers and other direct benefits, but for now the mission is to get as many people to join us as possible so that we can build the capacity to deliver. You will find all the information you need to join us on our new website www.docrra.co.za , but if you want to join up in person, we will be manning a table outside the Radio Life & Style Studio at the Lifestyle Centre on Friday 18th December from 9-5 and Saturday 19th December from 9-1 to assist you. Spread the word. Join DOCRRA now and let’s take back our town. Welcome to another edition of Life & Style also online at www.lifeandstyle.fm

BROOKLYN LEADS THE WAY
FOR NEW BALLITO NEIGHBOURHOOD
W
ITH the completion of the first home in Brooklyn, Ballito is on the brink of establishing a new community-focused neighbourhood. An initiative by the Slater’s, a family with its roots firmly entrenched in the property market, Brooklyn is the first phase of The Loop precinct – a four-phase project offering a combination of residential, retail and retirement options.
“The completion of the first home, gatehouse and clubhouse at Brooklyn is the catalyst for the entire precinct that we aim to create. Our fundamental vision for The Loop is to offer ‘something for everyone’, regardless of life-stage. With this in mind, developments within the lifestyle precinct will include Brooklyn, The Loop Residence, The Loop Village and Hemingways,” explains John Slater, Director of Painted Black Properties. Slater came across the agricultural farm land in 2007, when it was sold by the Hullet family. The first phase was sub-divided and developed into an industrial park, and the remainder of the land was zoned for residential and commercial use. In 2013 the contemporary lifestyle precinct called ‘The Loop’ was conceptualised, with ground being broken shortly thereafter to start the services and infrastructure. Slater continues, “Historically Ballito was known for being a small
interconnected town, where the village really encompassed the heart of the community. With the significant growth in and around Ballito, this characteristic is often overlooked. Brooklyn and, more specifically, The Loop will restore this former charm and ultimately reinvigorate a sense of community”. Brooklyn is an exclusive and contemporary residential estate comprising of 41 three and fourbedroom homes. Offering the discerning buyer a secure, beautifully appointed, family-oriented estate, residents are able to enjoy a natural outdoor setting and, once The Loop Village is complete, can wind down at a selection of coffee shops and restaurants or have their convenience shopping needs met at the village deli as well as an assortment of other boutique offerings. With stands ranging from 415m² to 1314m², the estate is characterised by contemporary design, spacious living areas, high ceilings and upmarket finishes. The homes also offer large gardens and outdoor spaces, which is ideal estate for families, both young and old. “We are extremely confident that Brooklyn and The Loop as a whole will be an absolute success, and we look forward to completing more homes in Brooklyn, and to launching the next phase for The Loop in 2016,” ends Slater.

CHOCOLATE MINCE PIES
A
TWIST on the usual mince pies, these are made using a delicate buttery pastry with just a hint of orange (in fact, they’re just as nice made with puff pastry, so if you’re pushed for time, buy good quality butter-based short or puff pastry instead). The chocolate in the fruit mince gives them a more luxurious edge. As the fruit mince isn’t swimming in the traditional melted vegetable shortening and is also not cooked, it’s best to store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. But because it’s so moreish, it’s unlikely there’ll be any left over! The fruit mince should be made a few days in advance of the actual pies, so remember to allow yourself sufficient time for the advance preparation.
FRUIT MINCE 150g raisins 150g golden sultanas 100g currants 2 medium apples, unpeeled and coarsely grated (e.g. Granny Smith) 60g flaked almonds 60g soft brown sugar 3ml mixed spice 3ml ground ginger Grated rind and juice of 1 orange Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon 50g butter, melted 60ml brandy 100g good quality dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces (optional)

PASTRY 280g cake flour Grated rind of 1 orange 3ml ground cinnamon (optional) Pinch of salt 240g butter 1 egg yolk 45ml fresh orange juice 30ml ice-cold water A little milk for sealing pastry Egg wash (1 egg lightly whisked with 15ml water) Icing sugar for dusting
TO MAKE THE FRUIT MINCE: place all the ingredients
except for the chocolate in a large mixing bowl and combine well. Spoon the mixture into sterilised jars and store in the fridge. Allow a couple of days for the flavour of the fruit mince to properly develop before using it. It is preferable to add the chocolate just before placing the fruit mince in the pastry cases, although if you intend to use the fruit mince within a day or so, you could add the chocolate with the other ingredients.

flour, orange rind, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until it just starts to resemble breadcrumbs (you can rub the butter into the flour by hand). Wisk the egg yolk, orange juice and ice-cold water together and ad to the dry ingredients a little at a time until the mixture just comes together as a dough. (The amount of liquid needed will depend on the particular flour used. You may need to add a little water if the dough is still not moist
enough to come together, but don’t overdo the amount of liquid.) Cover the dough with clingfilm and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease 2 x 12cup muffin trays or patty pans with a little flavourless oil. Roll out the dough to about 2mm thick, then cut out rounds to fit the muffin trays. Spoon in a heaped teaspoonful of the fruit mince. Cut out ‘lids’ for the mince pies (rounds or star shapes) from the dough. Seal the edges of the lids with a little milk. Brush with egg wash and bake for about 20 minutes until golden-brown. Remove the mince pies from the oven and allow to cool in the tray for a few muibnutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack. Dust with icing sugar and serve.

FILTER COFFEE USING A PLUNGER,
Freshly Grind beans (within 4 minutes), with the grinder set on coarse. Your water should be just short of boiling, 95°C is optimum. Boiling water will cause bitterness. Use about 60g of coffee per litre of filtered water or a heaped teaspoon per cup... Put a little water over the grinds and stir.

The favourite of most coffee drinkers.....
The correct way to make a cappuccino is 3 equal parts of coffee (espresso), milk and froth... The perfect cappuccino is determined by the texture of the milk, it should be smooth, silky blending each of the elements together perfectly. Small hint - if the water is too hot or the milk is overheated it may burn the coffee
Depending on the skill of the barista, the foam can be poured in such a way to create a picture. Common pictures that appear in lattes are love hearts and ferns
AMERICANO
This is a style of coffee prepared by brewing espresso with added hot water giving it a similar but different flavour from filter coffee.
The strength of Americano varies with the number shots of espresso and the amount of water added. There is a popular belief that the name originated in world war 11 when America would dilute espresso with hot water to approximate the coffee they were used to. Hint...if you add the espresso to the hot water instead of the hot water to the espresso you won’t disturb the creme on the top of your coffee and your coffee will have a beautiful finish...

HERE’S A GIFT FOR THOSE WITH MORE RANDS THAN SENSE. Rolls-Royce Releases a Limited Edition £26,000 (R607240, 76) Cocktail-Making Hamper That Costs More Than A BMW
F
EELING PARCHED? Want to whip up a quick cocktail? This hand-built hamper has everything you’ll need to mix up your own drink, but it will cost you more than a BMW 3 Series. That’s because this is the Rolls-Royce of cocktail hampers, created by the luxury car maker themselves.
And if you’re thinking about getting someone a last-minute stocking filler, you better move fast — only 15 will be made. The price: £26,366 or R607240, 76. According to Rolls-Royce, the hamper itself takes eight weeks to make
R189 990
and is meticulously handcrafted from American walnut wood and the same leather with which the manufacturer adorns its car interiors. And that’s not just any leather; Rolls-Royce won’t use female cowhides because of stretchmarks from pregnancy. And all the bulls have to be sourced from high altitude locations so the skin hasn’t been pierced by mosquito bites.

2013 Isuzu KB250 LE D/Cab 71 000km
Before piecing together the set, the Goodwood-based brand consulted with experts from Dorchester Collection’s London Hotels to ensure the hamper was kitted out with everything you’d need to stir-up your own cocktail. As you might expect from a drinksmaking set that costs the same as a deposit on a house, no corners have been cut. Each utensil and implement is bespoke and built by hand and there’s even an automatic light that creates a warm glow designed to replicate that of a luxurious cocktail bar. Gavin Hartley, head of bespoke design at Rolls-Royce, said: ‘Each motor car that we craft represents a deeply personal expression of individual customer tastes and lifestyles. This extraordinary scope for personalisation extends far beyond the car itself through an Accessories Collection, featuring exceptional objects designed to augment the lifestyles of the marque’s customers. ‘This beautifully executed Cocktail Hamper illustrates the marque’s intimate understanding of the desires of the most discerning patrons of luxury in the world; Rolls-Royce customers. ‘And it sounds like Rolls-Royce has thought of everything. Should the owner wish to present their guests with canapés, two dishes
find their place in the lower portion of the Hamper, either side of an ice bucket, whilst discreet drawers hold recipe cards and fine cotton napkins. The upper tier of the Hamper contains tumblers, decanters and a shaker, and smaller utensils — including a muddler finished in American Walnut and a strainer engraved with the ‘RR’ markings — are securely stored on a specially developed moveable rack that can be locked when not in use. Every item of glassware is made by Theresienthal, Europe’s most revered glassmaker and supplier of many of the Continent’s Royal Courts, and have platinum rims. Finally, it comes with a glass tray that’s discreetly housed beneath the integrated wooden chopping board, ensuring drinks are presented to guests in consummate Rolls-Royce luxury. As a finishing touch, a book containing a series of cocktail recipes inspired by the marque’s extraordinary heritage completes the set. If you want one, you’ll be able to place an order at one of the 130 RollsRoyce dealers around the world. That’s if it hasn’t sold out, of course
