PETE TONG ALL GONE RHINO Coming to South Africa to perform in Ballito and Cape Town, British DJ Pete Tong took the time to visit Inverdoorn Game Reserve and Iziba Safari Lodge.

Personal encounters with a tame cheetah and new baby rhinos, Bundu and Livinia, familiarised him with the reserve’s conservation efforts RhinoProtect and Western Cape Cheetah Conservation and Tong is eager to join the fight to save endangered wildlife.

Celebrities are often glimpsed, as they get in touch with nature at Inverdoorn.

Coldplay shot part of their music video for the song Paradise at the reserve.

Tokio Hotel and Sean Kingston also visited and The Wailers performed in Cape Town in support of RhinoProtect. Esteemed actors Rutger Hauer and Ingrid Chauvin are amongst other celebrated guests who were touched by the animal interactions and the initiatives that propel the reserve.

Inverdoorn has become a conservation stronghold – this past year saw them provide a home to the baby rhinos who were orphaned after their mothers fell victim to poachers. Elephants were re-introduced to the Karoo after being relocated to Inverdoorn. Raised in captivity they are now free-roaming and complete the reserve as a big five safari destination. The involvement of key figures such as Pete Tong could do much to help Inverdoorn elevate awareness about South Africa’s natural heritage and the dangers it must combat.

When: 1 & 2 June 2013 Where: Various wine farms in the Durbanville Wine Valley.

Driving through the winelands during the winter might be a strangely eerie experience, gone are the lush green vineyards that have cared for our grapes during their growing period, but rather replaced by vine shoots and exposed soil. But don’t despair, this dormant time helps prepare the vines for the following summer and the next vintage.

And while you are taking your casual drive why not stop off and warm yourself with some amazing soup and wine?

producers all stirred up to transform the NH Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West into a foodie hub of the finest local delights.

In addition to a spectacular array of cellar gems stemming from this prime winemaking triangle, which stretches from Somerset West to Stellenbosch and Sir Lowry’s Pass Village, guests will be indulged and entertained with signature dishes by some of the most popular culinary hotspots and heroes from the area. They include Ghenwa’s Lebanese Cuisine, Pomegranate Restaurant, 96 Winery Road, The Restaurant at Longridge, Somerbosch Bistro and the Restaurant at Avontuur Estate.

The ‘winter blues busting’ dishes that will be on sale in tasting-size portions on the evening include 96 Winery Road’s world-famous Duck & Cherry Pie, or a hearty Creamy Cauliflower Soup from their kitchen. Chef Craig Cormack of All Things Culinary will whip up a spectacular array of nomnom-ness ranging from Lamb Koftas with hummus and succulent Lamb Fillets with pea puree to Quail Roulade with roasted figs.

SARAH CHANG IN CAPE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT Long-awaited African debut by international star violinist Sarah Chang in Cape Philharmonic Concert on June 9 Sarah Chang, one of the world’s most celebrated and captivating violinists, makes her Cape Town debut with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra in Sibelius’s demanding Violin Concerto on Sunday, 9 June, in the Artscape Opera House at 8pm. On the podium will be Theodor Kuchar, who is collaborating with Chang for the 11th time in this performance. The orchestra will also perform Rossini’s l’Italiana in Algeri overture, the Symphony no 4 in A, “Italian”, by Mendelssohn, and Finlandia, also by Sibelius.

Louis Heyneman, CEO of the Cape Philharmonic, says the orchestra has been working with Kuchar for some time to make this happen. “It’s not often that a star of this calibre comes to South Africa, and we are delighted to present her first. It’s an opportunity not to be missed, for the considerably gifted Chang is considered to be one of the best there is.” She will also perform, with the KZNPO and Kuchar, in Johannesburg and Durban.

Chang, who at 32 has been an international star for two decades, made her debut at the age of eight with the New York Philharmonic. Since then, she has demonstrated her technical virtuosity and musical insight all over the world in performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra and more.

She has also collaborated with the most revered conductors of our time, from Sir Simon Rattle to Valery Gergiev.

Chang was born in Philadelphia in 1981 of musical parents who had recently arrived from South Korea. Five years later, she gave an exhilarating audition, performing the Bruch Violin Concerto, at the Juilliard School where she was subsequently enrolled. At the age of 10, she had already recorded her first album which was released by EMI Classics. Chang rapidly rose to fame and was among a very small number of professional musicians to be internationally recognised as a ‘child prodigy’.

The concept of fondue was born out of necessity in the 18th century by Swiss villagers when they realized that when this hard cheese was heated with wine over a fire, it softened and became deliciously edible. It has since become a social custom bringing friends and family together and engaging in great conversation while making the best of the long, cold Swiss winters by huddling around a warm fondue pot. So come along this winter and be part of this long tradition at the gorgeous Delheim.

HATS OFF Back By Public Demand! The madcap musical antics of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann.

Jonathan Roxmouth and Louis Zurnamer team up to revisit the madcap musical antics of famous British comedy duo, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann.

Sharing the stage with nothing but a baby grand piano (in tune, if you are lucky) and their off-beat senses of humour (out of tune, if you aren’t) they explore the many humorous and downright silly songs of Flanders & Swann including the classic “G-nu Song”, intoxicating “Madeira M’Dear” and infectious “Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud Ballad for Piano and Hippo”.

Described as an ingenious mix of Tom Lehrer, Gilbert and Sullivan and Monty Python, this is a comedy revue brimming with catchy tunes, tongue in cheek chemistry and laugh out loud humour.

Suitable for anyone with a pulse.

MIES JULIE Fresh from its triumphant tours to New York and London, the Baxter Theatre Centre’s runaway hit play Mies Julie returns to South African soil when it comes to the Golden Arrow Studio for two and a half weeks only.

Winner of four Fleur du Cap awards and three top awards at the Edinburgh Festival last year, the production has enjoyed tremendous success internationally, playing to sold-out performances

and earning 30 international and local five-star reviews, as well as being rated one of the top 10 shows in New York in 2012 by the New York Times. See the international reviews for this production.

The South African-born and internationally acclaimed director Yael Farber sets her explosive adaptation of Strindberg’s classic Miss Julie in the remote, bleak beauty of the Eastern Cape Karoo.

In a post-apartheid kitchen – a potent convergence point of domination, domestic practicality and untenable sadness – a single night, both brutal and tender, unfolds between a black farm labourer, the daughter of his “master” and the woman who has raised them both.

The visceral struggles of contemporary South Africa are laid bare in this domestic setting, as a deadly battle between John and Mies Julie spirals one night over power, sexuality, memory, mothers and land.

WILDLIFE ALL YEAR OSTRICH FARMING

History reveals that ostrich chicks were traded by the original Khoi inhabitants with the Dutch Settlers in 1652 and exported from Cape Town to Batavia (now Indonesia) in 1656. There were also exports to India and the Emperor of Japan in 1658. The first documented ostrich farm was established in the centre of Cape Town in 1679.

reach the right breeding age, which is between the ages of 8 to 12 years depending on their size. Duiker Island is not a breeding colony as the sea can get very rough and the pups get swept off. The island is most densely populated from January through March due to the seals moulting. During this period they do not go off in search of food but rely on fats they have stored in their blubber.

Lion (Pantheraleo): The lion is a large carnivorous feline of Africa and northwest India, having a short, tawny coat, a tufted tail, and, in the male, a heavy mane around the neck and shoulders. A lion may attack without provocation, and is considered by many to be the best of the Big Five.

The ostrich is the world’s largest living bird, averaging 2m (6.5ft) in height and weighing up to 156kg (344lb).

BIG 5 SAFARI SHARK CAGE DIVING

Great white sharks are the apex predators of our oceans and Cape Town is one of the shark cage diving capitals of the world. Sharks are iconic and magnificent creatures. Experience a great white shark up close and personal with a shark diving or shark viewing tour (you don’t have to get in the cage!) and you do not need a scuba diving certificate to shark cage dive.

Great White Shark, Cage Diving takes place from April to September in False Bay (departs from Simon’s Town) and all year round from Gansbaai (2 hours from Cape Town).

The phrase Big Five game was coined by white hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. The collection consists of the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros.

African Big Five Game Species: African bush elephant (Loxodontaafricana): The African elephant is a very large herbivore having thick, almost hairless skin, a long, flexible, prehensile trunk, upper incisors forming long curved tusks of ivory, and large, fan-shaped ears.

There are two distinct species of African elephant: African forest elephant (Loxodontacyclotis) and the African bush elephant (Loxodontaafricana). Black rhinoceros (Dicerosbicornis):The black rhinoceros is a large, thick-skinned herbivore having one or two upright horns on the nasal bridge. Rhinoceros may refer to either black or white rhinoceros.

African cape buffalo (Synceruscaffer): The African

CAPE FUR SEAL

Situated only 8 nautical miles (about 16km) from Simon’s Town, Seal Island is home to 75,000 Cape Fur Seals, 24 different bird species and the hunting ground of the Great White Shark. All year round we often encounter Dolphins, Humpback whales and Brydes whales. From July to November the Southern Right whales are plentiful in the bay and you can be assured of a sighting.

During the winter months the Great White Sharks are extremely active around the island and we enjoy many sightings and often witness natural predations. The main breeding season for the Cape Fur Seal is November and December when almost 20 000 pups are born.

The majority of the seals on Duiker Island, out of Hout Bay Harbour, are males waiting out their time until they

or cape buffalo is a large horned bovid. Buffalo are sometimes reported to kill more people in Africa than any other animal, although the same claim is also made of hippos and crocodiles. It is considered the most dangerous of the Big Five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths, with wounded animals reported to ambush and attack pursuers.

Lions habituate the savanna where tall grasses, shrubs and bushes obscure and provide them cover and camouflage. This thick undergrowth is commonly referred to as jess. As lions are ambush hunters, they use this natural cover to stalk close as possible before making a final charge to catch their prey. Lions do not generally avoid confrontation, but will usually face the challenger. Lions are unpredictable and may charge when sufficiently annoyed or confronted by danger.

Leopard (Pantherapardus): The leopard is a large, carnivorous feline having either tawny fur with dark rosette-like markings or black fur. They are wary of humans and will take flight in the face of danger. The leopard is solitary by nature, and is most active between sunset and sunrise, although it may hunt during the day in some areas. Leopards can be found in the savanna grasslands, brush land and forested areas in Africa.

The male leopard is less than half the size of a male lion. The leopard is the smallest of the big cats, and rarely exceeds 200 lb (91 kg).

A visit to a South African reserve will, most likely, allow seeing not only the big 5 but other habitants of the African bush. Although the stock will be different between various reserves you’ll be able to watch: Giraffes, Elands, Springbok, Hippopotamus and Zebras.

ROUND CAPE PENINSULA BABOONS

The Baboon Matters Trust comprises a handful of dedicated volunteers who are at the forefront of baboon conservation in South Africa. The goals of the trust include raising awareness for the plight of baboons as well as education and training so that sustainable solutions can be found for areas of conflict between man and baboon. On a practical level the trust makes provision for the rescue and care of injured or sick baboons, and aims to support rehabilitation centres that focus their attention on baboons.

Cape Species: The Chacma Baboon (Papioursinus), also known as the Cape Baboon, is, like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family. With a body length of up to 115 cm and a weight from 15 to 31 kg, it is among the largest and heaviest baboon species. The Chacma is generally dark brown to gray in color, with a patch of rough hair on the nape of its neck.

Unlike the northern baboon species (the Guinea, Hamadryas, and Olive Baboons), Chacma males do not have a mane. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this baboon is its long, downward sloping face. Males can have canine teeth as long as 2 inches (longer than a lion’s canine teeth). Baboons are sexually dimorphic, males being considerably larger than females.

The Chacma Baboon is found in southern Africa, ranging from South Africa north to Angola, Zambia, and Mozambique. Size and color vary within that range.

Chacmas usually live in social groups composed of multiple adult males, adult females, and their offspring. Occasionally, however, very small groups form that include only a single adult male and several adult females.

Chacma troops are characterized by a dominance hierarchy. Female ranking within the troop is inherited through the mother and remains quite fixed, while male ranking is tenuous and changes often. Chacmas are unusual among baboons in that neither males nor females form strong relationships with members of the same sex. Instead, the strongest social bonds are often between unrelated adult males and females. (Wikipedia)

BOULDERS BEACH PENGUINS

A visit to the famous Boulders Beach penguins should be part of every Cape Town itinerary. The penguins from this growing colony allow for close encounters with these famous sea birds - and most tourists fall helplessly in love with them. The story of the African penguins at Boulders Beach is one of remarkable urban colonization, but the species as a whole faces many threats and these aquatic flightless birds are listed as endangered.

The story of the penguin colony in Cape Town started in 1983 when a pair was spotted on Foxy Beach at Boulders. Since then the colony has grown rapidly and now totals about 3 000 Boulders Beach penguins. The birds came to False Bay from Dyer Island after the reduction in commercial pelagic trawling, which has increased the supply of pilchards and anchovy - part of the penguins’ diet. Boulders Beach is located in Simon’s Town, just over the hilly peninsula from Cape Town. It’s easily accessible by bus, car, taxi or train.

Not sure where to go for a wine route adventure? It all depends on how much time you have and how much of day - or week - you’d like to make of it. For those with very little time, you’ll be happy to know that Cape Town’s CBD presents a host of wine bars that will guide you through a virtual wine tasting of practically any estate you choose. But for those who do have some time... The "Hello Winelands" full guide to all the wine estates and wineries can be obtained at the Cape Tourism outlets in the city, at the airport, on table mountain, in Kirstenbosch and Blouberg.

WHAT WINE ROUTE?

CONSTANTIA VALLEY Constantia Valley is the wine route at the heart of the Mother City (or at least a little to the left of it). This is the oldest wine-growing area in Southern Africa and stretches from Wynberg hill in the north, to the Silvermine mountains (the Tokai area) in the south. The ten wine cellars on the route boast a winemaking history dating back to 1685. Around the peninsula, not a part on the Constantia Valley, but still close enough, there are a few more award winning wine estate to be explored.

Hello Cape Town 26

WHAT TO SEE AT THE WINELANDS CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

Rich in cultural and natural heritage this destinations includes the famous Cape Point. Due to the variety of wildlife that occurs here it is the only section of the Table Mountain National Park that is fenced and visitors should look out for Eland, Red Hartebeest, Bontebok and Zebra.

Be sure to visit the Buffelsfontein Visitor Centre that showcases all the plants and animals to look out for in a particular season and is full of informative signage.

This is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and offers hiking, surfing, angling, picnicking, beaching and cycling opportunities against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains and coastline of the most south western point in Africa.

Cape Point offers visitors excellent viewing opportunities from the two lighthouses that adorn the point – one still functional, informative interpretive signage that traces the cultural and natural history of the Point.

The lighthouse is accessible by foot or you can catch the Flying Dutchman funicular to the top.

Operating Hours: Winter: Apr – Sept: 07:00 - 17:00, Summer: Oct – March: 06:00 - 18:00 www.sanparks.org

P.S. Baboons in the parking lot are not a rare picture as one might think.

DELHEIM ESTATE GOES WILD WITH MUSHROOM HUNTINGS Gear up for a Wild Fungi Forage in the forest on this legendary wine farm

Delheim’s exclusive Wild Mushroom Foraging Experiences on 17 & 18 June 2013 and Mushroom Week on 17-23 June Want to know a Boletus Edulis from a pine ring and discover the secret world of wild mushrooms? While many fungi fans remain tight lipped about their favourite hunting spot for the elusive shroom, Delheim Wine Estate, just outside Stellenbosch, lifts the lid on this secrecy with its popular Mushroom Week which kicks off with two exclusive foraging expeditions in its own forest on 17 & 18 June.

Avid aficionados can slip on their boots and baskets and join the Sperling family for an enchanting trudge through the forest in search of these rare seasonal delicacies under the guidance of Nora Sperling-Thiel and Gary Goldman aka “The Mushroom Hunter’ – a guru with a keen fungi sense and sharp eye who can spot a camouflaged porcini in no time. “Over the years mushroom hunting has become somewhat of a family passion. It is all about the mystique and excitement of the season, the timing, the search, and then the ultimate satisfaction…to create a delicious meal from something you have foraged yourself. As a winemaking family we love to live close to nature and besides mushroom are packed with good things like potassium, vitamin D and anti-oxidants” shares Nora, daughter of farm owner SpatzSperling – a inimitable Cape wine pioneer and co-founder of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes more than 40 years ago.

After working up an appetite in the forest, foragers will head to Delheim’s Vat Cellar for an exquisite buffet-style lunch indulgence featuring wild and exotic* mushroom dishes, to be enjoyed with a selection of Delheim’s latest vintages and cellar gems.

There are only a few spots available for the Delheim Wild Mushroom Forage (on 17 & 18 June) and tickets cost R250 per person, which include a short-course in mushroom identification – a very important precursor to avoid poisoning and learn the dangers and don’ts when it comes to picking these edible wonders – prior to the forest forage, as well as the languid cellar lunch (beverages excluded).

The hunt starts at 10.30 and pre-bookings for this ex-CEP-tional experience are essential. For more information or to book, contact Delheim at Tel. 021 888 4607 send an email to restaurant@delheim.com, or visit www.delheim.com.

Delheim was the first wine estate in the country to serve food almost four decades ago and today its family-friendly Garden Restaurant with its stunning setting remains a firm lunchtime favourite, celebrated for its homely atmosphere and comfort food. Those who miss out on the mushroom foraging experience can still enjoy an array of delicious wild mushroom dishes at the restaurant throughout Delheim’s popular Mushroom Week which runs from 17 until 23 June.

STELLENBOSCH WINE ROUTES The Stellenbosch Wine Route is the first and the largest in South Africa and all the estates along the route are within a 12km radius of the town. It is arguably the country´s most famous, and includes more than 200 wine and grape producers within the boundaries of the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin classification. The Wine Route is divided into five sub-routes for a convenient exploration but you are welcome to be creative and target the wineries by any classification or taste. Daily wine tasting, cellar tours and sales are offered at most cellars and many of these have restaurant and picnic facilities. Some cellars offer tasting by appointment only. For more information: www.wineroute.co.za, Tel: 021 883 3584 WELLINGTON WINE ROUTE Halfway between the bright lights of Cape Town and the statuesque mountains of the Western Cape, lies the hidden valley of Wellington, full of surprises and variety, heart and soul. The Berg river flows along the western border with two smaller streams, the Spruit and Kromme and the mighty Hawequas stands guard on the eastern side. The Bainskloof Pass, built by the famous Scot, Andrew Geddes Bain was (before Du Toitskloof Pass) the only gateway to the north. More French people settled here than anywhere else in the Cape and the valley was initially called Val du Charron – valley of the wagon-makers, the last outpost before travellers, pioneers and adventurers attempted the arduous journey into the hinterland with their oxen and their wagons.

RUNNING THE SCENIC ROUTE Keep fit while taking in the scenery at new running route Framed by Table Mountain on the one side and the glistening Atlantic Ocean on the other, the V&A Waterfront's newly launched 2.2km and 5km running route offers one of the most picturesque running tracks in the country. The route reaches the Breakwater and the newly developed scenic Boardwalk Path which forms part of the route. The Boardwalk offers various scenic lookout points where runners and walkers alike can take a breather as they soak up the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, and possibly even spot a frolicking seal or a pod of dolphins. The 2.2km route is marked in yellow while the 5km run is marked in red, and both are clearly sign posted making it easy for runners to track their distance. Free maps of the route are available from the Tourist Information Centre.

33 Hello Cape Town

SHOPPING KRUGERRAND The Krugerrand is a South African gold coin, first minted in 1967 to help market South African gold. The coin, produced by the South African Mint, proved popular and by 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. The name itself is a portmanteau of Kruger (the man depicted on the obverse) and Rand, the South African unit of currency. Krugerrands are a popular way to invest in gold. By 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. That year South Africa introduced three smaller coins with a half-ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce of gold.

Always close, Always fresh, Always convenient.

That’s why I love my SPAR!

The success of the Krugerrand led to many other gold-producing nations minting their own bullion coins, such as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in 1979, the Australian Nugget in 1981, the American Gold Eagle in 1986 and the British Britannia coin.

Private mints have also attempted to capitalize off the popularity of the Krugerrand, minting gold and silver bullion rounds (the term coin denotes legal currency) in the style of the Krugerrand. The rounds often depict Paul Kruger and a springbok antelope, some even blatantly copying the same design as on the Krugerrands themselves, though the inscriptions are altered. These bullion rounds are not offered by the South African Mint or the Government of South Africa, and are therefore not official, have no legal tender value and cannot technically be considered coins.

The Krugerrand is 32.6 mm in diameter and 2.74 mm thick. The Krugerrand’s actual weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 g). It is minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure (22 karats), so the coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold.

The remaining 8.33% of the coin’s weight (2.826 g) is copper (an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for English gold sovereigns), which gives the Krugerrand a more orange appearance than silver-alloyed gold coins.

Copper alloy coins are harder and more durable, so they can resist scratches and dents.

The South African Mint Company produces limited edition proof Krugerrands intended as collector’s items. These coins are priced above bullion value, although non-proof Krugerrands also have a premium above gold bullion value. They can be distinguished from the bullion Krugerrands by the number of serrations on the edge of the coin. Proof coins have 220 while bullion coins have 160.

As the only means to legally possessing gold bullion, the Krugerrand offers a unique way of holding your own gold. Krugerrands carry only a small premium over the value of their gold content.

As the gold price is quoted internationally in terms of troy ounces, the value of Krugerrands can easily be determined at any time.

Hello Cape Town 34

As legal tender gold coins, Krugerrands can be bought from, or sold to thousands of gold dealing companies and their branches worldwide.

Krugerrands are hard enough to resist normal scratching and denting - an important, practical feature, as soft 24 carat coins and bars are more easily damaged and generally require protective packaging. Krugerrands are easy to transport and store.

ARTS AND CRAFTS

The Arts and Crafts markets in Cape Town: Green Market Square, in the square that dissects Burg Street and between Longmarket and Shortmarket streets, Cape Town CBD, Monday to Saturday: 9:00 and 16:00.

The Red Shed Craft Workshop, Adjoining Victoria Wharf and open Monday to Friday: 9:00-21:00 and Sunday& Public Holidays: 10:00-21:00 Waterfront Craft Market @The Centre, adjacent to the Two Oceans Aquarium, open every day: 9:30-18:00.

Green Point Market, Junction of Western Boulevard and Beach Road, Every Sunday and Public Holiday: 9:15- 17:00 (unless very windy or very rainy).

No doubts about it – South Africans are a crafty bunch. The country’s people produce a remarkable range of arts and crafts, working from the pavements and markets of the big cities to deep rural enclaves, with every possible form of traditional artwork – and then some.

In addition to the standard materials such as beads, grass, leather, fabric and clay, pieces are made using telephone wire, plastic bags, petrol cans and bottle tops – even food tin labels are used to create brightly coloured papier mache bowls. On sale on many a South African street corner are objects made of wire, ranging from representations of the globe to cars and motorcycles – which are capable of manipulated movement – to joke cellphones and working radios.

Shops, markets and collectives dealing in African craft are thriving, providing much-needed employment and income in communities such as Fugitive’s Drift in KwaZulu-Natal, which offers a huge variety of basketry, or the Northern Cape Schmidtsdrift community of displaced San people, who produce paintings that constitute an imaginative and highly coloured extension of ancient rock art.

to a cartel monopoly through trade sanctions, and single export and distribution channels until the end of apartheid in 1993.

After that and other factors, the South African government began to export stock allowing other countries to have their own ranches. Although wider production resulted in competition and lower prices, Klein Karoo Group remains the leading global producer. Today the industry is driven mostly by the leather and the meat, which is exported to all parts of the world. South Africa produces over 60% of the world’s ostriches and also has a distinct quality edge in the leather tanning process.

Eleven years ago, Charles and Melony Biggs were farming ostrich, sheep and goats in the Graaff Reinet area in the Karoo. At first they exported skins to people he had met in the USA, where he had previously farmed ostrich for 4 years. They learned a lot in that time abroad, one thing being what we in South Africa had to offer and show off to the world in terms of leadership in Ostrich and Mohair.

They started to seek for local manufacturers and work together with designers to present a classic collection that also presents a freshness and elegancy. In 2000, Karoo Classics opened its doors in Stellenbosch: “We had 30 handbags and six belts in stock, but 100% faith in the fantastic natural products made from ostrich leather and mohair”, says Charles. From the very beginning a policy of Proudly South Africa was adopted.

They spent months looking for and visiting factories all over South Africa. The criteria were: simply, high quality at a reasonable price. Today they have a wonderful group of suppliers, from big factories to family businesses and individuals.

In 2003, Karoo Classics opened in Cape Town and five years later in Franschhoek. Today they have the world’s largest selection of ostrich leather goods, carrying over 1000 handbags alone.

OSTRICH LEATHER & MOHAIR Ostrich leather is the result of tanning skins taken from African ostriches farmed for their feathers, skin and meat. The leather is distinctive for its pattern of bumps or vacant quill follicles, ranged across a smooth field in varying densities. It requires an intricate, specialised and expensive production process making it costly as well as beautiful.

Although the first commercial farming began in South Africa in 1850, the industry collapsed after World War I and the drop in demand for the feathers for fashionable hats and military uniforms.

Other products were marketed, with each success battered by world events and droughts until now, when ostrich skin is globally available and seen as a luxury item in high-end demand.

Leather came late in the story of ostrich farming but after a tannery was set up onsite, it went on to make an impact in European haute couture and in the U.S. for cowboy boots. Availability was artificially limited when ostrich leather was subject

user engagement on WAYN. “All seven countries and cities nominated were extremely worthy contenders and dream destinations in their own right,” WAYN co-founder and chief risk officer, Jeremy Touze, said in a statement last week.

“The immense popularity of South Africa as a tourist destination has been reinforced by this competition, and interestingly the activity we are seeing correlates with the recent announcement by President Jacob Zuma that the amount of foreign visitors to South Africa has grown by 300% to 13.5-million visitors, 9.2-million of which were tourists.”

Touze said South Africa’s strongest following comes from Asia, in particular India. “Out of the 408 000 fans of South Africa on WAYN, there are now over 108 000 fans from India alone,” he said.

“We are privileged to live in an incredible country, a land of spectacular wildlife, awe-inspiring adventure and unique heritage and culture,” said chief executive officer of South African Tourism, ThulaniNzima.

“It is home to warm, welcoming people, eager to share it with travellers from around the world.

“We are already touched by the hundreds of thousands of friends our destination has made on the WAYN.com platform and we are delighted with this accolade, which we hope will make more people’s dreams of visiting South Africa a reality,” Nzima said.

LILIZELA TOURISM AWARDS: A NEW WAY TO REWARD TOURISM EXCELLENCE

SA VOTED TOP ‘DREAM DESTINATION’ South Africa has been voted the top destination by members of the world’s largest travel and lifestyle social network, Where Are You Now? (WAYN), in the site’s recent “dream destination competition”.

Setting the standard for global excellence.

Rewarding those who strive for perfection.Spurring arrivals growth and destination competitiveness.

Now tourism businesses in South Africa have something to strive for in addition to thriving, profitable businesses and a healthy, robust bottom line: the new Lilizela Tourism Awards that will reward and celebrate excellence across the tourism industry.

Lilizela is an Nguni word which means to ululate: an act of congratulations when someone has done something well. The Awards will recognise and reward tourism players and businesses who work passionately and with pride to deliver a world class product and service and whose delivery grows South Africa’s global destination competitiveness.

“Our tourism sector is one of the best performing in the world. In 2012 we recorded unprecedented growth of 10.2 percent in international arrivals.

This growth was more than double the rate of average global tourist growth of about four percent estimated by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation. It firmly cements our assertion that South Africa is a sought after travel destination,” Minister of Tourism, Marthinus van Schalkwyk told the South African travel trade at the Lilizela Tourism Awards launch event at INDABA 2013 today.

“Ours is a destination of which we can all rightly be proud and every single one of you here today, through your professionalism, dedication and to excellent delivery of your product and service, has

played a valuable part in ensuring that we grow in global competitiveness,” he said.

“It is for this reason that we are delighted to introduce the Lilizela Tourism Awards. The Awards will acknowledge and applaud the efforts of people whose work sets global benchmarks in excellence.

And this excellence will be rewarded across a number of broad categories: Service Excellence, Emerging Entrepreneur, Tourism Responsibility and Sustainability, Universal Accessibility and, lastly, the Minister’s Award said Minister Van Schalkwyk.

At the launch the Minister unveiled the five initial Lilizela Tourism Award categories out of the seven envisaged. In time, he said, up to eighteen subcategories would be recognised.

“No industry can be measured on one single thing, but achievements in different areas should be recognised. This is why the awards will be expanded in time to include the range of products and services across the tourism value chain”, he said.

Entries for the awards are free but businesses need to comply with certain requirements before their application will be accepted. The overall winners from each category will be announced at a ceremony in September 2013, which will be preceded by Provincial recognition awards to be handed out at provincial events.

“We are excited about these awards and the value and pride they will add to the industry. We believe they will enable others to learn from outstanding work that is being delivered and motivate them to work together in order to give recognition to entrepreneurs and businesses doing a sterling job, grow our economy and to put South African on the global map,” Minister Van Schalkwyk concluded.

The 2013 award categories are: 1. Minister’s Award: Recognises outstanding, unique, impactful people, events, organisations that have performed in a manner that urges the industry closer to tourism’s 2020 vision (to grow arrivals to 15 million and create 225 000 new jobs by 2020. Total direct and indirect GDP contribution targetfrom R189,4 billion (2009) to R499 billion (2020)).

2. Service Excellence: How well tourism products are doing in this area. A large portion of the decisions for this award will be made based on guest feedback. Measurements have been put in place to allow the public to cast their vote. The Accommodation sector will be recognised during this first year, with the other service providers and operators to follow next year.

3. Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year Award (ETEYA): This award recognises black owned SMME’s who have achieved notable success since starting up.

4. Universal Accessibility: Facilities and services at accommodation establishments and MESE venues that are accessible for people with disabilities, using the TGCSA grading criteria which were introduced with the normal quality grading criteria back in 2010.

5. Sustainability Award: This award will recognise the business that best incorporated the three development and sustainability pillars into their business operating models and the IMVELO brand will be incorporated accordingly.

WHERE TO PLAY? SHARKS BOARD KwaZulu-Natal has the only coastline in South Africa that is protected by shark safety gear. The KZN Sharks Board maintains shark safety gear at 38 localities and is the only institute of its kind in the world, offering safe bathing to tourists while also conducting research into shark life history and offering a public education programme.

Boat Trips:The Sharks Board gives members of the public an opportunity to go out to sea and watch the shark safety gear being checked in the early morning.

The Tour Boat leaves Wilson’s Wharf at 06h30 and proceeds out to sea and joins the working craft to view the shark net experience. The skipper keeps the passengers fully informed as to the activities they are watching, as well as drawing their attention to any opportunistic viewing of other marine life and seabirds.

This two hour trip is an extraordinary experience to see Durban’s beachfront in the early morning light with the sun just rising over the ocean.

Bookings are essential on 082 403 9206 and trips are subject to sea and weather conditions as well as minimum pax load requirement.

Cost is R250pp. payable to the skipper on arrival. www.shark.co.za UMNGENI VALLEY- DURBAN GREEN CORRIDOR The uMngeni River estuary is one of the most important bio-diversity assets within the eThekwini Municipal area, having one of the few remaining estuarine habitats on the KwaZulu-Natal coastline.
