Editorial Team
From the Editor Van die Redakteur Tyd vir gee, geniet, kuier, liefde en familie Vader Tyd het ons weer stilletjies bekruip en oorrompel, voor ons nog behoorlik besef het wat aangaan. Nog ‘n jaar is op sy einde. ‘n Jaar waarin ons heerlik gekuier, gesels, gegroei en gereis het. ‘n Jaar waarin ons soveel meer van ons streek en sy mense kon leer. Not only did we travel through the countryside of the Swartland and West Coast, but we packed our suitcases and travelled through South Africa and even abroad. In hierdie uitgawe pak ons weer die kronkelpaaie van ons land en maak ‘n draai op die brandewynroete om meer van hierdie gewilde voggies te leer. Ons kyk ook na ons huis en tuin en wat ons in die komende jaar met ons eie nessie kan doen om hom op te kikker en weer nuwe lewe vir 2016 te gee. Ons smul heerlik aan mosterdtong uit die Swartlandkontrei vir Kersfees, terwyl ons na die groen van 'n bonsai-kweker in die Riebeekvallei kyk en sy kuns bewonder. If you are not one of the lucky ones who can travel this holiday, we give you some hints on what there is to do right on your doorstep. No need to drive for hours, stand in long rows waiting for admittance - just look around and experience what your home- and neighboring town has to offer.
Krap jy kop met Kersgeskenke? Gaan loer bietjie na die nuutste tendense in tegnologie en maak jou kouse vol met iets interessant! Ons raak bietjie omgewingsbewus en kyk na "groen"-alternatiewe. Dit is altyd slim om te dink aan die toekoms en hoe ons nóú kan help om dit vir ons nageslag te bewaar. We take flight with Johan Dempers and his aerial photography over the expanded plains of countries far away - from the rugged terrains of the Grand Canyon, to the tops of our beloved Table Mountain. Dinge lyk beslis 'n bietjie anders van daar doer bo in die lug. Ons groet ook 'n bekende van die Swartland - die Swartland Revolution. Hierdie uiters gewilde en suksesvolle samekoms (eie aan die streek) van wynmense het vanjaar sy swanesang gesing. Ons bring aan jou 'n foto-herinnering van die sesde en laaste byeenkoms op Riebeek-Kasteel. Dis nou tyd vir familie. Tyd vir samesyn. Tyd vir kuier, lag en die lewe geniet. So gaan voluit!

Swartland Revolution wat was Uniek en uitgesoek, professioneel en kuierheerlik ... ONAFHANKLIK .... 'n Paar wynmense, effe weg van die sentrum van die konvensionele, het 'n golf begin in die Swartland ... die groeiende golf het groter geword en algaande groot impak, waarde en nuwe Swartlandfokus na die wynwêreld se top-verhoë
help neem ... 'n gewisse bydrae tot die streek se vinnig-groeiende gewildheid wêreldwyd. Ook onder Swartland Independant het die Swartlad Revolution-naweek ses jaar gelede ontstaan en gegroei tot die gewildste wynproe-geleentheid in die land. 'n Besondere smaak-ervaring in die hartjie van die Swartland Riebeek-Kasteel.
Vanjaar se sesde Rewolusie was geen uitsondering, selfs waarskynlik die beste een nog. En ... op die hoogtepunt - getrou aan aweregs besluit die organiseerders dit was die laaste. Rewolusie wat was. Rewolusie duur seker nie vir altyd....
Van die Baardskeerdersbosorkes tot die Swartland se eie bierbrouers, Adi Badenhorst en Eben Sadie, smulkos, wynlegende en oud-Springbokflank Jan Boland Coetzee, topwyne, ook dié van Mullineux (Suid-Afrika se wynkelder van die jaar), het Swartland Revolution 2015 dié rewolusie op 'n hoogtepunt laat afsluit.

Plesierige Afrikana in
Zoid Afrika K
uns en musiek kan baie kommersieel wees of dit kan baie gefokus wees met 'n beperkte, uitgesoekte aanhang. Kuns en die skeppers daarvan is ook nie altyd met die eerste oogopslag by almal ewe gewild nie en kan dit op jou groei soos mos... in Laurika se liefmense, of dit kan op 'n dag net eensklaps verander. Soos raassakke by die supermark is die kommersiële massa wat deur die massa aangehang word baie keer nie baie diep, sterk en eiesoortig karaktervol nie. Maar dan kom daar die uitsonderings, die uitskieters, 'n fenomeen wat juis in andersheid, eerlikheid 'n breë spektrum aanhang bou en hou. Toe Karen Zoid jare gelede met haar eerste groot treffer slaan, was Afrikaners effe plesierig, maar sy was straks die tyd 'n bietjie voor. Sy is gebore in Brussels as 'n nooi Greeff en ná haar vroeë kinderjare in België was Karen later 'n straatmusikant in Mellville. Van haar eerste album, Poles Apart, het sy reeds sukses behaal met goue status. Sy was vanuit die staanspoor effe aweregs (of awelinks dalk) in haar aanslag. Weg van die sentrum van die spektrum – weg van die goue middeweg. Meer onlangs het Zoid begin om 'n laataand TV-program in haar eiesoortige, eerlike styl aan te bied met 'n uitstekende lys van spesiale gaste. Die televisieprogram, Republiek van Zoid Afrika (nou reeds in sy tweede seisoen), is uniek in baie opsigte. Die gewildheid daarvan lê waarskynlik juis in die eiesoortigheid. Al ondersteun gemeenskappe in groot getalle die gewone, alledaagse, is dit altyd die unieke en anderse wat meer blywend 'n indruk maak en hul bybly. Unieke kombinasies wanneer die suiwer Zoid-stem met ander topkunstenaars saamspan om Afrikana te help opdiep en uitbou, moet beslis een van die suksesresepte wees. Die tweede seisoen van Republiek van Zoid Afrika, het soos die eerste, 'n spesiale CD en DVD opgelewer en volume 2 spog met gaskunstenaars soos Van Coke, Kahn Morbee, Jack Parow, Anneli van Rooyen, Bobby van Jaarsveld, Vusi Mahlasela, Steve Hofmeyr, Zanne Stapelberg, Dozi, Katlegoe Maboe, Rina Hugo, Amanda Strydom en PJ Powers. Zoid sal nou ook as een van die afrigters optree in Suid-Afrika se weergawe van die TV-werklikheidsreeks The Voice. Sy het vroeër vanjaar 'n duet met Francois van Coke opgeneem en “Toe Vind Ek Jou” het oornag top-trefferstatus bereik. Een van daardie treffers wat onmiddellik oor 'n wye spektrum ouderdomme en musieksmake byval gevind het en met druktyd al meer as 1 138 167 keer op YouTube gekyk is. - Johan Viljoen

The holidays are upon us. When the thought of leaving your house doesn’t appeal, here are some suggestions for keeping yourself and your children busy at home.
Home for the
holidays by Clifford Roberts
S
chool holidays can be daunting. Children have to be entertained and even adults can be at a loss when faced with blocks of time on their hands, so be prepared. Make a list of ideas suitable for daytime and evening; rain and sunshine. Some should be adventurous and active, and others, to encourage some peace and quiet. You might start your list with something like staying in your pyjamas for one whole day or organising a movie night, with popcorn. For the children, you can cook and bake together; make fruit sosaties or prepare toppings for pizza; build a secret hide-away by throwing a sheet over a table or tree branch. Dress-up like pirates or princesses, dinosaurs or fairies. Build obstacle courses, indoors or out; plan a treasure hunt and create a map for the occasion. Get the children to do a play, with costumes; or, keep a holiday diary, even if it’s only filled with drawings. Come December, we’re often drawn to think of others and gifts are prepared, so write letters. Make gifts like cards, key ring holders or simple linen bags and decorations. In the workshop, make a birdfeeder or scratch-pole for the cat. If it rains, break out the board games and pack of cards. Collect old boxes from your local grocery store and get the children to build a play city with them, or a box robot. Line up arts and crafts projects – make fairy wings and flower head wreaths; cut out masks or make a kite; or, use wax-lined cartons or plastic bottles to make little boats. Create a family artwork, where everyone

participates. Make flower pressings between baking paper. Cut and glue pictures from old magazines. On sunny days, get everyone outside. Google outdoor games to play and try a few new ones with the children. Mobile apps can also be your friend in times of need. Astronomy apps like SkyView, for example make it easy to learn about and look at the stars, even without a telescope. Have a picnic in your garden and invite your neighbours to join you. Read a book you’ve always wanted to and schedule several days where every electronic entertainment device, including the TV is banned. Learn a new skill, like playing the mouthorgan or even origami, and set yourself a goal. As for the chores, remember that December and January are hot months, so water your garden and watch consumption at the same time. Use mulch. Protect your lawn in the hot and dry season and allow it to grow slightly longer by raising the blades of the mower. Spray your fruit trees for fruit fly and coddling moth, and dispose of all fallen fruit. Gardening can also be fun for children - get them involved by starting a container garden. Take advantage of the good outdoor weather to check your roof for potential leaks and cracks; sand and varnish any wood frames and decks; do outdoor repairs; and, clean out the gutters. Also go over the manual of your car to remind yourself of its service schedule and give the car a good wash – the engine too. If anything looks worn or broken, make a note to ask a specialist about it and repair if necessary. Once done, reward yourself with a long break and cold drink. It’s the holidays, after all.

''Trend '' or ''Anti Trend'' Dave Nemeth partner in the Haus of Décor & Design in Yzerfontein, is recognised
as one of Africa’s leading design thinkers and trend forecasters here he shares some of his thoughts on future trends and décor & design directions. Petrie Dyason heads up all the operations in the Yzerfontein showroom and welcomes everyone interested in great furniture, design and décor to come and have a coffee and look at all the latest ranges. We are currently living in the age of creative disruption, where even trends have evolved, becoming less noticeable. 2016 will continue to see this almost “anti trend” taking place., If you had to take 20 pieces of furniture or decor, it would be difficult to find an obvious trend or pattern. The other interesting thing right now is that this “new” style is happening all over the word, at the same time, unlike years ago, when it was a known fact that we were, at least, two years behind what’s happening overseas. Current trends do show veins of uniformity, such as the materials used, patterns, and colour palettes; but even these can be quite difficult to identify with. In fact, many retailers have not caught on to what is really happening,
10
remaining a bit conventional with their product assortment. So, what are these big trends, or rather, “anti-trends,” currently taking place, and more importantly, why are they happening? For starters, the rebellion against mass production is continuing, spreading out across the world. For example, people from all sectors are searching for well-crafted, authentic, and artisanal products. It’s no longer just about the price, but rather about the authenticity and the story behind an object, decorative piece of furniture, or even fabric. The merging of art and design has created a new train of thought and awareness. Although it hasn’t earned itself a title this time, I see it as the age of the artisan. This new consumer attitude has definitely made an impact, visible in how China has had its slowest growth ever, with speculations of the country going into a recession. Even though there are plenty of factors causing this, the manufacturing and production sectors have slowed down as more and more countries look to their own production.
with on every level, from furniture, to wall art, becoming quite dominant in the lighting arena. Styles from the past are used as reference points for a lot of new furniture, visible in the styling reminiscent of Scandinavian movements, and the '50s. There is an affinity for the past, which in itself is a rebellion of mass production, cheap production. However, we cannot be separated from technology in this current age of innovation, so, hi-tech solutions are being integrated with these pared-down interior spaces. LED lighting is energy efficient, and it has become more affordable over the years.
In a time of huge technological advances, our interiors have become simplified and "stripped down." These days, it’s hard to come across an ornate interior, because this kind of styling is now seen as outdated. Classical interiors have become irrelevant, with a lot of people struggling to relate to the ostentatiousness. Instead, we see a shift towards interior spaces that follow a more diverse and eclectic kind of styling. The trend is towards personal taste and preferences, rather than the generic approach of the past. It is about storytelling, creating a space that is relevant to the individual. So, we will see a collection of different pieces in these homes, varying in colour, texture, form, and styling. These days, it is not uncommon to see a dining table surrounded by 8-12 completely different chairs. This kind of statement creates excitement and originality, carries meaning, and turns the owner into a curator of products, rather than a follower of fashion. In fact, “curation” is the buzzword, the biggest trend at the moment, involving putting collections together in order to form a creative and unique setting, while still working as a unified look. The industrial look we have become accustomed to follows the philosophy of using the existing, as well as that of recycling and upcycling. This will continue to be a trend for many years to come, as we strive to find solutions that reduce waste. We need to create products and spaces that are as friendly to the environment as they are to the senses. There is nothing more appealing than old, reclaimed and reused timber, or copper with aged patina. In fact, copper has become so popular that chrome, which has been prevalent for many decades, suddenly seems outdated and old. We’re seeing copper and brass being experimented
So, even though we see accent lighting taking on a retro approach, with elements such as the Edison bulb, most of the functional lighting will be LED, which can be controlled. Home automation is also on the rise due to it becoming more affordable, too. “The internet of things,” this is a phrase we will be hearing a lot, and it means that our objects and appliances will have connectivity, alerting us on what is happening. Our appliances will actually notify us when they are due for service. We will be able to control the temperature, lighting, and security of our homes from anywhere in the world. There is a lot of research and experimentation going into the development of materials, from roof tiles, to age-old materials such as concrete. Concrete, once reserved for practical structural purposes, has become a popular finish. With special additives being introduced to the medium, we are seeing an increase in the use of this incredible material, from kitchen countertops, to furniture, to jewelry. Scientists have even created a "self- healing” concrete, which automatically seals any cracked area. We live in exciting and complex times, and trends follow this complexity. However, the overriding trend is obvious, pointing to individuality and uniqueness. We are obsessed with storytelling, obsessed with objects and items that have meaning and relevance in our busy, hi-tech lives. These are exciting times, and we are seeing remarkably creative designs, both internationally, and right here in South Africa. In fact, South African design is in demand all over the world, and we are finally being recognised for our outstanding and original work. So, to truly be on-trend in the next few years, you need to be original, authentic, true to materials, and local.

bonsai begin by die apiesdoring
“Elke bonsai is ‘n stukkie lewende kuns."
deur Susan Botha
Alice in Wonderland het deur ‘n gat in ‘n wonderwêreld van pratende hase, teekoppies en skaakstukke beland.... Ons het deur ‘n ou hekkie in ‘n oorgroeide heining in dié Swartland-paradys beland. Die fisiese werklikheid is doodgewoon André Beaurain en Corné Pretorius se kwekery in die hoofstraat van Riebeek-Wes. Maar tog… ‘n mens wil skielik in ‘n fluisterstem praat, asof jy in ‘n towerwoud is waar plante, diere en ander mistieke figure in die kleur, geur en skadu’s vir jou loer. Die kwekery herinner aan my ouma se gesellige voortuin. Dan is daar ook nog die droë tuin en die nat tuin en die orgideë-kweekhuis en die groentetuin met sappige goudgeel boontjies en die vetplanttuin en die woonhuis wat uit 1857 dateer en dan die ...Pièce de Résistance: André se bonsai-oerwoud. Nie oerwoud soos oorgroei en gevaarlik nie.

‘n Oerwoud waar elke asemrowende reus tot sy volle (klein) reg kom – in miniatuur vorm. Hier is die vorm en dimensie die estetiese kunsgevoel van die bonsai-skepper. ‘n Kremetart, volmaak gevorm, net sowat 20cm hoog. ‘n Mens kan die fabelagtige boom se volle prag in al sy fasette bewonder in dimensies wat vir die menslike oog makliker en bereikbaarder is. Hier is ‘n apiesdoring ‘n paar handbreedtes hoog, ‘n 200-jaaroue roosstok troon majestieus bo ‘n gestileerde geelhout uit en denne vul jou met ‘n uitbundige vreugde in hul ingehoue volmaaktheid. Daar is ook 'n besondere olyfboom van 250 jaar, wat André in Noord-Transvaal gekoop het. “My gunstelingboom om te bonsai is die kremetart,” sê André entoesiasties, maar sy belangstelling strek veel verder: "Spekbome is die maklikste vir beginners, die wit stinkhout en die wilde olyf maak ook pragtige bome."

André het bome in die Japanese en Europese styl, maar hy kry baie erkenning vir die werk wat hy aan die eg-Suid-Afrikaanse bonsai-styl, die Pierneef, doen. Dié styl is vernoem na Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef wat bekend was vir sy skilderye van tipies Suid-Afrikaanse bome en landskappe. 'n Pragtige voorbeeld van 'n wit apiesdoring in die Pierneef-styl, kan in André se tuin gesien word. In Japanese tradisie verteenwoordig Bonsai die drie deugde (shin-zen-bi) Waarheid, Goedheid en Skoonheid. Bonsai beteken letterlik om in ‘n skinkbord te plant: bon is ‘n skinkbord of plat pot en sai beteken aanplanting. Die Japanese tradisie is duisende jare oud en beskik oor sy eie estetika en terminilogie. André vertel met ‘n glimlag waar dié boompies hom bekruip het: “Ek het in ‘n woonstel gebly en my ma het gedink dit sou ‘n goeie verjaardaggeskenk wees.” Die apiesdoring het ‘n spesiale plekkie in sy siel gevind en is vandag nog
Volume 15
Volu
die trotse matriarg van sy 72-stuk versameling. Deur die jare het André se versamelig gegroei uit bome in die kwekery , uit die veld en uit tuine en plase. Hy en Corné doen landskapbeplanning en dit is ook dikwels die bron van kandidaatbonsai. Hy wys na ‘n wilde olyf wat sy wortels kunstig oor ‘n stukkie rots vou. “Die rots het in die natuur gekeer dat die wortels sywaarts gegroei het. Dit is ‘n tipiese kenmerk van bonsai, en ons plaas ‘n klip onder die plant om die wortels reg te vorm.” Dit gebeur terwyl die plant in ‘opleiding’ is. Aan die begin wanneer ‘n plant geleer word hy is nou ‘n bonsai en daarna elke jaar of twee, wanneer hy in ‘n nuwe houer oorgeplant word. Die bome word dan onttrek na ‘n opleidingsterrein waar daar intensief met hulle gewerk word. Nie dat die ander bonsai nie gedurige stemopdragte kry en met skêrtjies, knippers en allerlei ander werktuigies onder bedwang gehou word nie. “Daar mag nie ‘n blaartjie of takkie uit plek wees nie, dit versteur die silhoeët en daarmee saam die estetiese genot wat die bonsai se doel is." “Elke bonsai is ‘n stukkie lewende kuns. Dit is ‘n vorm van meditasie. En ‘n mens leer beslis geduld.”

roen en volhoubaar is woorde soos spoke of monsters wat dikwels gebruik word om bang te maak en Moeder Aarde se toekoms as pikdonker te skets. Die sketsers gebruik graag groot woorde en veral groot syfers (dikwels waarskynlik bietjie aangedik) om met statistieke die versnellende agteruitgang uit te beeld. Hoe juis hierdie statistieke is, is soms aanvegbaar. Só byvoorbeeld word daar gesê om op te maak vir die verlies aan bome die afgelope dekade wêreldwyd, moet daar vir die volgende tien jaar elke jaar 15 miljoen bome aangeplant word. Dat • 145 liter water gebruik word vir die vervaardiging van een blikkie gaskoeldrank, • 7000 liter water nodig is om elke vat ruolie te raffineer, • 2900 liter water gebruik word in die verbouing van katoen vir een T-hemp. Om die noodsaaklikheid van 'n groener lewe te ignoreer en die gevaartekens te negeer, is verseker onverantwoordelik. Heelparty skole het dit ten doel om met hul aksies en bewusmakingsveldtogte ten minste die pas waarteen moderne praktyke en lewensstyle omgewingsagteruitgang veroorsaak, te rem. Dit is belangrik om bewus te wees en tuis te begin - op kleiner of groter skaal - bydra tot 'n groener aarde en die bewaring van ons hulpbronne. Maak 'n kopskuif en selfs die geringste verandering in jou leefstyl maak 'n bydra tot moederaarde-bewaring. 'n Paar wenke in en om die huis. • Draai daardie kraan toe terwyl jy tande borsel.

in die wasbak te plaas terwyl jy borsel. • Plant jou eie groentetuin tuis, al is dit slegs 1m by 1m groot. Sodoende verlaag jy die aanvraag na voedselproduksie in die wêreld en hoef die groente nie honderde kilometer ver na jou toe aangery te word nie. Verwerk en vries oortollige groente. • Die aanplant van vrugtebome, veral dié wat geskik is vir Suid-Afrika, kan ook 'n groot bydrae maak en weer kan die oortollige vrugte verwerk word deur dit in te lê of te droog. • Wanneer jy voedselafval in jou tuin begrawe eerder as om dit in jou vullisdrom te gooi, maak dit jou grond ryker. • Begin 'n klein komposhoop tuis. •Werk spaarsamig met of vermy gifstowwe in jou tuin. Ondersoek die alternatiewe metodes om peste in jou tuin te bekamp. Só byvoorbeeld hou gebreekte eierdoppe slakke weg. • Plant slegs inheemse plante in jou tuin – verkieslik dié tipes wat in jou streek die beste aard. Vervang mettertyd die uitheemse plante met inheemse aanplanting. • Wees bewus van die verpakking van elke produk wat jy aankoop en kyk of dit nie moontlik is om die moeilik afbreekbare verpakkings te vermy nie. Kweek die regte leefstyl by jou kinders deur klein en groot projekte uit herwinbare materiaal wat andersins in die vullisblik sou beland. Ondersteun produsente van vars produkte en plaaslik vervaardigde produkte in jou omgewing by markte en stalletjies. Hul impak op die omgewing is dikwels veel kleiner as dié van produkte wat van ver aangery word. Slegs die impak van padvervoer en uitlaatgasse alleen het 'n groot negatiewe uitwerking. Neem altyd jou eie sakke saam vir inkopies, eerder as om elke keer nuwe plastieksakke aan te koop. Kyk dan hoeveel plastieksakke jou huishouding die omgewing elke maand spaar. - Johan Viljoen Volume 15

Where brandy meets history Brandy has been made in South Africa for over 300 years. You can explore this tradition by visiting some of the Cape’s big and small distilleries, writes Clifford Roberts. Below: Mons Ruber distillery near Oudtshoorn gets its name from the red colour of surrounding hills.

What is brandy?

f you love whisky, then the distilleries of Scotland are almost guaranteed to be on your list of do-before-I-die road-trips. To see gleaming stills and fine spirit however, you needn’t journey to the other end of the earth. The Cape has its own distilleries that welcome visitors and are within easy reach – whether you have a weekend or an entire three-week holiday available. Micro distilleries are on the increase, especially those riding the popularity of gin. But none of them come close to the rich, homegrown history of South African brandy. Brandy’s history in South Africa began in the 1600’s when the first recorded distillation took place on a Dutch ship in Table Bay. As the wine industry grew, so did brandy – a product of the grape. Distillation became part of the farming tradition and rural life; and, its spirit the social lubricant ever present at celebrations and commiserations. On long journeys of exploration, it lasted better than wine and with brandy being a five to seven times concentration of wine, its volume of alcohol took up less space too. At the same time, South African brandy gradually developed its world-class status. Today, our brandies are annually rated at international competitions as the best in the world. A shelf of bottles in a liquor store may reflect some of the diversity of the industry, and the labels some of the history; you’ve probably also encountered old, polished pot stills in antique shops, but the best way to experience the tapestry of this tradition is to visit the distilleries and meet the people who run them. Scotland has its Malt Whisky Trail and Kentucky, the Bourbon Trail. In South Africa, we have the Brandy Homes – a network of 22 distilleries, big and small, located in the Cape Winelands, Little Karoo and Northern Cape. Among them, you’ll find the makers of the big brands like Klipdrift, Van Ryn’s, KWV. But most are micro enterprises, distilleries on farms scattered across some of the country’s most scenic countryside. Volume 15
Around Stellenbosch and to its south, there’s Avontuur Estate near Somerset West, which is famous for its horses as much as brandy; the tree-shrouded Oude Molen in Grabouw; Van Ryn’s, where you can enjoy a variety of brandy and food pairings and see how brandy barrels are made; Blaauwklippen wine estate, with its restaurant and children’s play area; Tokara on the Helshoogte Pass, which has a deli and permanent art exhibition; the Steytler family’s Kaapzicht Wine Estate in Kuilsriver; Louiesenhof Wines, founded in 1701 and home to a bistro as well; and, Uitkyk, where you can sit on its lawns and enjoy a picnic too. In and around Paarl and Wellington, you can visit Backsberg Estate, with its garden restaurant; the grand estate of Laborie; the KWV Sensorium and Emporium; Upland Organic Wine & Brandy Estate, an off-the-beaten-track gem; and Oude Wellington Estate. The R62 is popular with bikers and road-trippers, but the route is also lined with out-of-theway brandy distilleries too. Robertson, for example, is where Klipdrift was born. The distillery has since moved from the Major’s Hill wine farm to the town’s Main Road, and now has a large visitor centre that offers regular tours and tastings. Kingna Distillery lies amongst the fruit orchards along the eponymous river near Montagu; Barrydale Wine & Brandy Cellar is where Joseph Barry Brandy is made; Calitzdorp’s Boplaas is known for its port, wines as well as its fine brandy; and, around Oudtshoorn, there’s the fifth generation Grundling family’s Grundheim Wines and Mons Ruber Estate, a fascinating museum of local history as well as distillery. If you’ve got less time available to you, you might include one or two in the Little Karoo with a visit to Bergerac Distillery, off the N1 near De Doorns; or, head for Upinton in the Northern Cape and visit Bezalel Wine & Brandy Estate to see its twin copper pot stills on the farm beside the Orange River. Of course, before you even set out on the journey, if you intend to taste make sure you have a driver. There are few better ways to explore the country and this fascinating part of its history.

At its simplest, brandy is made from fermented grape juice that is distilled and matured. South African law categorises our brandy as: Potstill; Vintage, where potstill brandy is blended with matured wine spirit; and, Blended, where potstill brandy is bottled with unmatured wine spirit. To qualify as brandy, the potstill component must be aged for a minimum of three years in oak casks up to 340 litres in size. To find out more, visit www.sabrandy.co.za. Some distilleries are open throughout the week, others by appointment only. It’s best to call ahead and make sure if you’re planning to visit over the holiday season. • Avontuur Estate (www.avontuurestate.co.za) tel: 021 21 855 3450 • Backsberg (www.backsberg.co.za), tel: 021 875 5141 • Barrydale Wine & Brandy Cellar (www.scv. co.za), tel: 028 572 1012. • Bergerac Distillery (www.karoo1.com), tel:023 358 2131 • Bezalel Wine & Brandy Estate (www.bezalel. co.za), tel: 054 491 1325 • Blaauwklippen (www.blaauwklippen.com), tel: 021 880 8655 • Boplaas (www.boplaas.co.za), tel: 044 213 3326 • Grundheim (www.grundheim.co.za), tel: 044 272 6927 • Kaapzicht Wine Estate (www.kaapzicht.co.za), tel: 021 906 1620 • Kingna Distillery, (www.kingna.co.za) tel: 023 614 2721 • Klipdrift (www.klipdrift.co.za), tel: 023 626 3027 • KWV Emporium (www.kwvbrandy.co.za; www.kwvwineemporium.co.za), tel: 021 807 3007 • KWV Sensorium (www.kwvsensorium.co.za), tel: 021 807 3147 • Laborie (www.laboriewines.co.za), tel: 021 807 3390 • Louiesenhof (www.louiesenhof.co.za), tel: 021 865 2632 • Mons Ruber Estate, tel: 044 251 6550 • Oude Molen (www.oudemolen.co.za), tel: 021 859 2517 • Oude Wellington Estate (www.kapwein.com), tel: 021 873 2262 • Tokara (www.tokara.com), tel: 021 808 5900 • Uitkyk (www.uitkyk.co.za), tel: 021 884 4416 • Upland Organic Wine & Brandy Estate (www. organicwine.co.za), tel: 082 731 4774 Van Ryn’s (www.vanryns.co.za), tel: 021 881 3875

Die Riebeekvallei, aan die voet van die Kasteelberg, is een van die mees gewilde bestemmings wat - soos Malmesbury en Darling – spog met 'n groot aantal bekroonde wynkelders. Van die histories bekendstes is die Riebeek-Wes Allesverloren Landgoed, vir jare reeds bekend weens sy bekroonde port en rooiwyne. Die eerste wingerd op dié landgoed, van dag nog in die Malan-familie, is in 1780 aangeplant. Navrae: 022 461 2589 GPS: S 33° 21' 32.5" E 018° 52' 24.1"

Baviaanskloof
There’s more to do in the Baviaanskloof than drive through its world famous nature reserve, writes Clifford Roberts. “We never have to mow the lawn,” says
Christine Smith as we stroll in the shadow of the mountainside. “The dassies take care of that.” She and husband Nico moved from Welkom to the Baviaanskloof a few years ago and now run Uitspan guest farm and campsite. It’s quiet now, but they’re getting ready for high season when the holidaymakers return. Every year, families head for the Baviaans and once you’ve been, it’s not hard to see why. Within the broad tapestry of wholesome country experience to be had – wide, blue skies; winding, deserted roads; and, villages you dream of moving to – the Baviaans is home to a World Heritage Site and history. To be clear, the Baviaanskloof falls within the Baviaans region that incorporates Steytlerville, Willowmore, Rietbron and the Grootrivier Valley. The landscapes are diverse as the lush mountainous stretches bordering on the Garden Route subside into the wide valleys and flat, dry plains of the arid hinterland. Fauna and flora also display this transition along with the climate. Unsurprisingly, this mix gives rise to countless opportunities for holidaymakers with most of them headed for the Baviaanskloof, some 140km of farms and mountains of which just 60km comprises the eponymous nature reserve. At least part of the attraction arises from the poor condition of the roads through the reserve that limits access to vehicles with diff lock. Cyclists can traverse it too, but they’re subject to strict rules that include the accompaniment of a support vehicle – some of the reserve’s big game includes African buffalo. As for the rest of the kloof, ordinary vehicles can get around fairly easily on the gravel roads if you don’t mind a pothole or a splash of water here and there. If you fall into this category, you’ll enter the valley at the Nuwekloof Pass, at the Willowmore end. You’ll want to plan your stops before your departure because even though the territory appears sparsely populated, there are deceptively many activities to be enjoyed. You’ll also want to make sure you have cash, because there are no money machines First stop for many is the Smith’s farm where you might catch a glimpse of lawn-mowing rock hyraxes. There are a number of hikes varying from 40 minutes to five hours; and, circular 4x4 routes. If the kids aren’t keen to go along, there’s a pool and foefie slide. Further on, there’s more swimming, hiking and 4x4 opportunity at the Makkedaat Caves, but it’s the accommodation built into overhangs along a side-valley that’s fascinating. So too the treehouse at Speekhout, although you won’t be

able to get a look if it’s booked for the night. Some 58km from the N9 turnoff you’ll encounter a little gem that is one of only three areas that come close to being “commercial centres” of the Baviaanskloof. Vero’s Restaurant offers very light refreshment and roosterkoek, while across the road there’s the Baviaans Craft Shop, a community upliftment project. The other two are the Bavijaans Farmstall with its unmistakable red windmill, where you can sit on a stoep and enjoy a milkshake and light lunches; and, Babes se Winkel – an old-style farm shop and postal agency that most regulars frequent for basic necessities and is good for catching up on local news. Before you arrive at the latter however,

there’s Verlorenrivier Guest Farm, which offers the staple fare for outdoor-lovers and 4x4 enthusiasts as well as some fresh-water fishing and birdwatching. Bo-kloof Guest Farm is another must-stop, especially if you like honey. You’re likely to encounter Quintus and Anina Bezuidenhout’s wares at many of the farmstalls before you even get to the kloof, but on the farm you can learn about beekeeping and honey first-hand. They also have horses for riding, as long as you book the day before, and hiking. We trundled through the valley at a slow pace, stopping at Bavijaans farmstall with its trademark red windmill for milkshakes. I read up later it’s also attached to guest cottages with MTB trails Volume 15

and a hike that’ll lead you to San rock art. Further down the dusty artery of the valley, a short detour presents itself. About one third of the way through is the strange sight of a well-manicured rugby field and the turn-off to Zaaymanshoek. The village was established in the 1930s, when the land was sold to the United Congregational Church. Today, there are still a number of families living here and a school. The drive takes us a few minutes before we head back onto the road and soon we arrive at our overnight stop – Doringkloof Bush Camp. There’s a two-way radio on the office stoep and a sign notifying visitors to call. Soon, we’re settled into our self-catering cottage with a braai fire Volume 15
dancing merrily. The site lies away from the road and is surrounded by thorn trees and bush. There’s a lawn for tents and picnics that must be booked ahead of time; a dam for swimming and fishing and ablution blocks. In the morning, we’re awoken by the thud of monkeys on the roof. Doringkloof has 4x4 tracks, game drives and even a hike to see leopard cages and cameras, but we have to go. We pack and set off again because the Baviaanskloof nature reserve awaits us. This time of the year, the gate opens at 07:00 and closes at 16:00. Entrance is R20pp with discount for children. At a leisurely pace, it should take you around five or six hours to
Z
travel the 60km from entrance to exit. Locals also advise getting in as early as possible if you want a chance to see the buffalo. There are campsites in the reserve and a picnic spot at Smitskraal. We trundle through slowly, but the time flies nonetheless and soon we find ourselves at the exit. In the evening, over dinner at the Baviaanskloof Lodge in Cambria, we reflect on the visit. It’s time to head home and while it’s only been days, that stop at Uitspan seems like weeks ago.

Jennifer Zamudio 'verlang na Velddrif se vriendelike gesigte'
Ná vyftien jaar in die vermaaklikheidsbedryf, is Jennifer Zamudio, oorspronklik van Velddrif, ‘n gerekende sangeres, liedjieskrywer, televisieveldaanbieder en compère (seremoniemeester) met nege albums agter haar naam. Sy het in luisteraars se harte gekruip met lekkerluisterliedjies en meesleurende lirieke, meestal oor die lewe en die liefde. Hier is Jennifer se antwoorde op ‘n paar vrae van Alida Buckle.
Wat doen jy om te ontspan?
Ek geniet kosbare tyd saam met my boesemvriende.
Een tema waaroor jy baie sing, is die liefde. Wat beteken die woord 'liefde' vir jou? Ek hou daarvan om te skryf en sing oor temas
Wat mis jy van Velddrif?
Die rustigheid en die vriendelike gesigte van almal wat almal groet.
Op watter ouderdom het jy besef dat dit jou roeping is om te sing?
Hoe het bekendheid jou verander, indien wel?
Ek was 26.
Jong, ek het ‘n paar persoonlike amptenare aangestel wat my reeds lank en goed genoeg ken, en dit is hulle “job” om seker te maak dat dit nie gebeur nie. (Hahaha… dit het nie).
Wie is jou grootste ondersteuner? My Pa was en is nog steeds!
Wat is vir jou die lekkerste: die uitvoer of die skryf van die liedjies?
Wat is vir jou lekker om saam met ‘n goeie vriendin te doen?
Die verhoog is my speelplek – só, ek sal sê die uitvoer-gedeelte.
Om te gesels oor ‘n vinnige ete met ‘n glasie wyn, en om saam in die winkels rond te loop.
As jy ‘n ander verhoognaam sou moes kies, wat sou dit wees?
Wat beteken familie vir jou?
Ek glo tot vandag toe dat met ‘n van soos myne, wat ook ‘n ideale verhoognaam is, is ek gebore om op die verhoog te wees. Ek sou dit nie anders wou hê nie.
Familie is seker die kosbaarste ding in ‘n mens se lewe. Ek is dankbaar dat ons ‘n baie hegte familie is. Verder koester ‘n mens elke oomblik wat jy saam kan spandeer, soos oor Kerstyd, want die lewe is heeltemal te kort. Ek lief my familie!
Watter liedjie was volgens jou, jou grootste treffer tot dusver?
Met watter projek is jy tans besig?
Hart se loper.
My 10de solo-album, 15 Jaar Spesiale Uitgawe is in Julie vanjaar vrygestel, maar ek is reeds hard besig om te werk aan ‘n spiksplinternuwe album wat einde 2016 die lig behoort te sien.
Watter liedjie is vir jou die lekkerste om vir ‘'n gehoor te sing? Hou my.
Wat is jou toekomsplanne?
Om my musiek na die mense toe te neem, groot en klein dorpe! Ek beoog ‘n trotse Nashville Pop Country-album, iewers in die toekoms, met musiek wat spesiaal vir my geskryf word deur liedjieskrywers in Nashville.
Wie is jou deursnit-aanhanger?
Die meerderheid is mans en vroue van so 30 tot 70, maar dan is daar ook tog wat jonger en ouer is.
28
wat mense se harte raak, en die liefde is daai een aspek in die lewe waarmee almal kan identifiseer. Of dit nou verliefdheid is, en of dit nou die hartseer-gedeelte van die liefde is. Só, nodeloos om te sê, iewers in die lirieke van my liedjies is daar ‘n oomblik wat iemand kan koester of kan laat onthou.
