6 If You Strike A Woman,

Ferial Haffajee

you strike a rock The public holiday that pays homage to the women of our nation; - the mothers, the wives, the sisters and the daughters who fought tirelessly against the tyranny of the Apartheid government has evolved over the years into more than that. Womens Day has become a day of celebration of women generally, for their contribution to society, to the workplace and the home.

Women everywhere are making a difference, be it small or large and we take this opportunity to salute them and say to ALL the women of South Africa.....

By Sandy Nene

That Make Women Special!

I believe that as South Africans, we should show more respect to women in their everyday lives, not just because it’s women’s month or it’s mothers day. Women are special creatures but I don’t see them being treated the way they should be, due to the increasing instances of women abuse.

Are You “Zabafied”?

Her name is Zaba, full name Zabalazile Amanda Simbine and she is the bubbly, energetic voice that we on the East Coast wake up to every day between 4am - 6am “on The Zaba Show.” Zaba describes her show as your ‘morning espresso’ which should put a smile on your face and get your day off to a happy start. But as of the 4th August she will be hosting the 9am12pm slot which is a huge personal achievement for her.

Calorie counter or Vegetable counter?

The growing trend of health consciousness means far more than just going to the gym or jogging every day. Watching your diet is probably the most essential part of your health regime. Calorie counting can be a vital part of your daily food intake.

Wowed by Washington I love to travel and yes I’ve been to some spectacular destinations and seen some beautiful places but I’d like to believe that I’ve evolved from a tourist into a traveller. I don’t go out of my way to seek out the tourist ‘must sees’ but I do go out of my way to explore and discover the essence of a place. This is not always easy to do when just to get my bearings and then it’s up to where my feet can take me and where the locals I meet suggest.

That was quite funny to me, my accent’s been mistaken for British and my features have been mistaken for Mexican, Puerto Rican and even South American. What delighted me was that there were no questions about lions running around the streets as I discovered that the people of Washington are quite intellectual and the conversations about our wonderful country were interesting and informed. Everyone seemed to know about Cape Town and Johannesburg, sadly very few knew of Durban. I hope I did my city proud with the little I had to share about it.

Madera Hotel Located near Dupont Circle, in the heart of Washington, DC, Kimpton’s , Madera appeals to any travellers who appreciate a boutique hotel offering comfort, style, and pampering in a unique urban hideaway that looks and feels like a private pied-á-terre. Originally coined in the 1800s, the French term, pied-á-terre, literally means “foot to the ground.” It has since become a fashionable term to describe a second home, usually an intimate apartment, located in the midst of a great city.

Oh how I do love Winter – red wine, Irish coffees, stews, curries, no sweating or skimpy clothing, lots of coffees and afternoon teas, blankets on the couch, sherries and ports! It’s just the season of sheer indulgence. It’s a pity we can’t move Christmas to the middle of our Winter, then life would be just perfect because in addition to loving Winter, I also love Christmas! In particular, a cold Christmas – that’s because we can eat more. I mean it’s really not indulgence weather when you are sweating to death while cooking up have that for your Christmas meal instead!!!
