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.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW When: Saturday, 05 October 2013 to Sunday, 06 October 2013 Where: Durbanville

When: Friday, 04 October 2013 to Sunday, 06 October 2013 Venue: Cape Town International Convention Centre and the V&A Waterfront The Cape Town International Boat Show, the granddaddy of boat shows on the African continent, has been drawing thousands of local and international visitors for the past 13 years. The show has grown every year since its birth and 2013 is no exception. Carrying forward these years of experience has led to a five year partnership agreement with MIASA – the National Marine Industry Association, which will grow both the exhibitor and visitor base attracting record numbers. What is the secret to the longevity and popularity of this show? The Cape Town International Boat show combines innovative programs and the best boats on the market, paired with top technology. A major component of its success and longevity is the location in Cape Town, considered by many as the most beautiful city in the world. This creates a truly unparalleled experience for everyone, from avid to would-be boaters. When show participants are not checking out the latest models and equipment, they can immerse themselves in the stunning City of Cape Town, seeped in history and breathtaking scenery. Celebrated as a “Cape Town tradition”, this production also has the distinction of the largest on-the-water display of boats afloat in one venue in SA. Not only a must-attend event for boating

The happy mood that will hang over the Durbanville Wine Valley during Season of Sauvignon on 5 and 6 October 2013 will banish all thoughts of winter, setting the tone for the best fun with your summer clothes on. ‘Alice in Wineland’themed events, trendy food trucks, West Coast food feasts and old-school hospitality are just some of the draw cards to the 9th annual event. Known for its off-the-beaten track atmosphere, exceptional wines, somewhat eccentric winemakers, big-hearted star chefs and jovial country cooks, the wine region does a wine-andfood festival like no other. The valley is a 20 minute drive from the CBD, making the festival easy to get to or arrange a car pool with fellow enthusiasts. Each of the eleven wine farms taking part put their own creative spin on welcoming back white wine season. These are Altydgedacht, Bloemendal, D’Aria, De Grendel, Diemersdal, Durbanville Hills, Bloemendal, Groot Phesantekraal, Klein Roosboom, Hillcrest, Meerendal and Nitida. Trendy food trucks and pop-up garden-parties, family-friendly picnics, traditional fish braais, bands, bistros and tastings of the latest vintage of the world’s most loved white wine are all part of the fun in the sun. www.durbanvillewine.co.za

Hello Cape Town

NELSON MANDELA LEGACY EXHIBITION “With these images and multimedia displays, we want our residents to come together and absorb Madiba’s legacy and so create the framework for engagement.” The multimedia exhibition showcases Mandela's relationship with Cape Town, and contains photographs by Benny Gool and AdilBradlow. The exhibition is a multimedia one, comprising video segments of key events in Mandela's life and more than 200 photographs. The giant artwork on the Civic Centre was conceived by Abie Collins and Alberic Vollmer of Dreamfuel Media, and drawn by LinseyLevendall. It was drawn on A3-sized paper before a highdefinition scan was produced to upscale it and cut it into 660 separate pieces for separate windows. A team of abseilers took four days to complete the task of putting it into place. The nelson Mandela Legacy Exhibition is located at the Concourse Level of the Civic Centre and is open daily 10:00- 18:00. The Cape Town Civic Centre is located in Hertzog Boulevard in central Cape Town, and residents and visitors are encouraged to use MyCiTi to get there.

T he Nelson Mandela Legacy Exhibition in the Cape Town Civic Centre is now open to the

public. The exhibition, on the concourse level of the building, is a multimedia display tracing Mandela’s relationship with Cape Town. The Cape Town Honours Nelson Mandela programme is a special Mayoral project formed to pay tribute to the country's first democratically-elected president; to expose a new generation to his legacy; and to engage Cape Town residents in developing a new moral code for governance in the city. It has the blessing of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory. The Mayor of Cape Town, Alderman Patricia de Lille, encouraged Capetonians to apply Mandela’s values in everything they do: strength, resilience, justice, dignity and respect. “I want Capetonians to engage on how we reinforce his values in the pillars upon which this city is governed: the Opportunity City; the Safe City; the Caring City; the Inclusive City; and the Well-Run City.” She said her idea to celebrate Mandela’s legacy and his relationship with Cape Town came about last year when the former President was hospitalised. “I wanted to celebrate Madiba during his lifetime. I wanted to let the people come together to celebrate him while he is still with us and draw on his example of leadership to chart our way into the future,” she said. She declared 2013 as the year in which the mother city would celebrate Nelson Mandela and reiterated the necessity of passing his story about the sacrifices he made for South Africa to be a democracy on to the younger generation.“We know

Hello Cape Town

his history with our great city,” she said. “It was here that he was imprisoned for so many years by the Apartheid regime. It was here that he ushered in a new legal framework of human rights and dignity from the first democratic parliament. “When Mandela was awarded the Freedom of the City in 1997, he said: “It was the people of Cape Town who welcomed me on my first day of freedom….I am proud to be associated with citizens who are uniting at last to build a better life for all who live in Cape Town.”

“Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.” Nelson Mandela

ON STAGE BLOOD BROTHERS Blood Brothers is the story of two brothers separated at birth because of their mother’s desperate financial situation, but brought together again through friendship. Despite growing up in separate neighbourhoods, the boys’ lives continue to intertwine, although the deep divisions between the privileged life of one and the poverty-stricken existence of the other, are wholly apparent. As they try to conquer the social divisions that impact on their friendship, they must deal with the harsh realities of class consciousness; Edward goes on to study while Mickey is forced into a life of crime through unemployment. As adults, they become caught up in a tragic love triangle with Mickey’s childhood sweetheart Linda. Mickey’s imprisonment and subsequent depression pushes Linda into the arms of the conciliatory Edward. A desperate Mickey takes drastic action against his twin, which ultimately exposes their true identities and the men learn that they are brothers. Awardwinning playwright Willy Russell composed the score as well as wrote the book and lyrics for Blood Brothers. He won the Olivier Award for Best Musical for his work on Blood Brothers, as well as Best New Play awards for Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine. His screenplays for the film versions of Shirley Valentine and Educating Rita both earned him an Academy Award nomination. Theatre on the bay, 10 Sept- 19- Oct, Tickets R100R280 from Computicket: 083 915 8000 www. computicket.mobi. A WOMAN IN WAITING A Woman in Waiting is a powerful biographical journey into the dark heart of what life was like for women in apartheid South Africa which has won several international awards. In this one-woman tour de force, Thembi Mtshali leads us from her memories of a rural childhood, waiting to see her mother once a year, through the exhilaration of urban chaos and unfolding realisations of the humiliations her mother endures, to her own years as a domestic worker, leaving her baby in order to tend other people’s children as her mother once had to leave her. Her transformation into a performer and singer who would bear witness to these years is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a celebration of the capacity to “speak or our hearts will burst”. Baxter Theatre, 25 Sep- 12 Oct, Tickets R100R150 from Computicket: 083 915 8000 www. computicket.mobi.

BOULDERS BEACH

After you have fallen in love with the penguins head to the secluded Boulders Beach and take a swim in the comparatively warm waters of the False Bay. This beach is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents, wind and large waves - but please always take care. Also, don’t touch or feed the penguins. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose. Operating Hours: Winter: Apr – Sept: 08:00 - 17:00. Summer: Oct – Nov: 08:00 - 18:30, Dec – Jan: 07:00 19:30, Feb – March: 08:00 - 18:30 www.sanparks.org Tel: 021 786 2329.

ROBBEN ISLAND

Today it is a World Heritage Site and museum, a poignant reminder to the newly democratic South Africa of the price paid for freedom. The three and a half hour tour includes a return trip across Table Bay, a visit to the Maximum Security Prison, interaction with an ex-political prisoner and a 45 minute bus tour with a guide providing commentary. Operating Hours: Ferries depart at 9:00, 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00, weather permitting, from Nelson Mandela Gateway, at the V&A Waterfront www.robben-island.org.za Tel: 021 413 4220/1

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 20

WHAT TO SEE AT THE WINELANDS CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

21 Hello Cape Town

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

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).

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.

Hello Cape Town 22

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 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.

BIG 5 SAFARI

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 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. 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. 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

UND 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.

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.

CLOS MALVERNE UNVEILS ARRESTING A VOID IN THE LANDSCAPE EXHIBITION TOP SA ARTISTS TRANSFORM STELLENBOSCH WINE ESTATE WITH POP UP GALLERY Clos Malverne, a family-owned wine estate nestled in the heart of the Devon Valley outside Stellenbosch, sets the stage for a unique art meander in the Winelands with the unveiling of an exclusive A Void in the Landscape exhibition by esteem South African artists which will beguile the senses from 5 October until the end of January 2014. Hosted in conjunction with the North-West University Gallery in Potchefstroom, Clos Malverne will be transformed into a one-stop wonder of artistic expressions. Seven internationally famed artists will convey their expressions through paintings and sculptures which will take pride of place in and around the vineyards and the resident restaurant on the farm. This unique group exposé consists of paintings and small sculptures inside Clos Malverne’s magnificently appointed restaurant with its wraparound glass balcony as well as unique sculpture pieces rooted in the flanking garden. World renowned land artist Strijdom van der Merwe, best known for his signature style of symmetrical lines and geometrical forms that participate with their environment, will erect an impressive installation in the vineyards. Strijdom is a recipient of the esteemed Jackson Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in the USA and Medal of Honour from the South African Academy of Arts and Science and is celebrated for his unique landscape installations all across the globe including South Korea, Turkey, Belgium, Sweden, Lithuania, Japan, Australia, Germany and Italy. Joining him at Clos Malverne will be sculptors Wilma Cruise, Marco Cianfanelli and Gordon Froud who will add aesthetic appeal and conversation pieces to the exhibition. Working mainly with fired clay, Wilma’s sculptures are typically rendered in expressive life-size figures and she is renowned for a number of public works across the country including the award-winning Women’s Monument at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Marco’s awe-inspiring figures and forms allude ambiguously to landscape, the human body and micro-organisms. Recent works include his monumental portrait sculpture, Capture, located in Howick, KwaZulu Natal, which symbolically marks the 50th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s capture at the site by the apartheid police in 1962. Gordon Froud, who has participated in hundreds of solo and group exhibitions throughout South Africa, has been actively involved in the South African and international art world as artist, educator, curator and gallerist during a career spanning twenty five years. Art lovers will also adore the transformed interior of Clos Malverne’s restaurant, with paintings by internationally renowned artists Rina Stutzer, Retha Buitendach and Pauline Gutter adding colour to this serene setting. Rina whose work is centred around the ‘nomadic’ as theme, explores painting with acid on copper plate which ultimately results in an ever-changing image continuously altered through oxidation after the time of ‘completion’, making her one of the innovative artists of her generation. Retha finds her inspiration in the natural world and implicit in all her paintings is the heartfelt importance of conserving nature. Pauline, who is also the prestigious winner of this year’s ABSA L’atelier competition, works through a visual attack of marks and colour and the purposeful application and interweaving of layers that gives the identity of continuous change. A Void in the Landscape will be unveiled on the 5th of October at Clos Malverne and enthusiasts can visit the estate and its popular restaurant for a superb grape, gourmet and gallery experience until the end of January 2014. With its stunning setting amidst the vineyards and breathtaking views of the picturesque Devon Valley, The Restaurant @ Clos Malverne is the perfect retreat to spend a soul-quenching afternoon under the trees, linger over lunch on the wraparound glass balcony or simply to pamper the senses. Chef Nadia Louw Smith, who describes her own cuisine as ‘world food with an earthy sophistication, cooked from the heart and presented with perfection’ eschews the elaborate and creates sumptuous yet unpretentious food, simple in structure yet complex in flavour, texture and colour. Clos Malverne’s time-honoured, handcrafted wines can only

be bought directly from the estate or via its newly improved online wine sales facility which delivers your wine to your doorstep in no time.

For reservations contact Clos Malverne at Tel: 021 865 2022; Email:info@closmalverne.co.za,or Visit www.closmalverne.co.za. The Restaurant @ Clos Malverne is open daily for lunch except on Mondays and bookings are essential.

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 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. A high level of skill is brought to the production of work that has long been a part of African society, and has now found new commercial outlets. South African beadwork, once the insignia of tribal royalty alone, has today found a huge range of applications, from the creation of coverings for everything from bottles to matchboxes – and the reproduction of the red Aids ribbon in the form of small Zulu beadworks known as Zulu love letters. Basketry and ceramics, of course, were long ago brought to a pitch of perfection in traditional South African society, and the outgrowths of these forms today grace gallery plinths as often as they find a place on suburban shelves.(To read more: http:// www.southafrica.info) 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.

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 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.

TOURISM NEWS TOURISM SPENDING IN CAPE TOWN GROWS

Spending on tourism in Cape Town has grown by 5.6 percent a year between 2009 and 2012, the City of Cape Town said on Monday. “We know that an increase in tourist numbers equates to an increase in jobs,” tourism mayoral committee member Grant Pascoe said. He said this would help the city build an “opportunity city” for residents. Research done by Grant Thornton showed that the city’s tourism industry generated R14.6 billion in 2012, up from R12.4bn in 2009, Pascoe said. In 2010, the tourism industry’s contribution to the local economy was R16bn as a result of the 2010 Fifa World Cup. “The results prove that tourists are not only coming to the city to experience the natural beauty, but also to spend, providing a much-needed boost to the local economy,” Pascoe said. The research found that Cape Town’s tourism industry had created the most jobs in the unskilled and semi-skilled categories. Around 19,000 permanent and 12,000 temporary workers were employed in the unskilled and semiskilled categories, according to the report. He said in total the city’s tourism industry employed around 34,500 permanent and about 15,000 temporary employees. - Sapa

GREEN POINT CID PROVIDES FREE WI-FI FOR CAPETONIANS AT ST ANDREW’S SQUARE

Over the past decade the Green Point City Improvement District (GPCID) has worked with the City of Cape Town and other entities to create and constantly enhance a safe and welcoming space around Prestwich Memorial; with trees, green lawns, benches, wide paved walk ways and clean public toilets at St Andrew’s Square. The latest addition to these facilities is unlimited free Wi-Fi, which launched on Thursday, 12

September, for both locals and visitors to Green Point to enjoy. Says Marc Truss, GPCID chief executive, “We are constantly looking for ways to make Green Point a more accessible and attractive place to live, work and play, so it’s wonderful to have the free Wi-Fi up and running.” To access this Wi-Fi, simply select “GreenPointCID- FreeWi-Fi” from the list of available hotspots. This area has become a real hub of activity over the past few years, particularly since the fan walk was created for the FIFA 2010 World Cup so free Wi-Fi is bound to add to its appeal. MD of SA Computers, David Szivos, was responsible for setting up the Wi-Fi and comments that, “this is truly a free Wi-Fi service with no strings attached. No registration, no credit card details. Just lie back on the grass and enjoy being online and connected. SA Computers is very proud to be part of this initiative, hopefully with more to follow in the near future.”

V&A WATERFRONT TO GET CRUISE TERMINAL

The owners of the V&A Waterfront are preparing a bid for a dedicated cruise liner terminal. “We recognise that cruise liner tourism is one of fastest areas of tourism growth,” said David Green, CEO of the V&A Waterfront. Green said development of the Waterfront could increase its contribution to GDP by 51%. “There is great scope to improve the visitor experience, and the opportunity to work jointly with SA Tourism and cruise companies to grow tourism business.” According to Green, it is a competitive bid and there is no guarantee the V&A will be successful. Tenders are to be submitted by mid-October, after which a five-month adjudication process will be carried out. The V&A Waterfront would be a great location for the development,” said Alan Winde, Tourism and Economic Development MEC. “It’s already a tourism landmark and can serve as the gateway to the rest of region.” Source- Southern Africa Tourism Update

MANDELA STATUE UNVEILED IN WASHINGTON

A nine-foot (three-metre) statue of Nelson Mandela - showing him with fist raised as he walked out of Victor Verster prison a free man on 11 February 1990 - was unveiled outside the entrance to South Africa’s embassy in Washington, DC on Saturday. The statue, a copy of one that stands outside the Drakenstein Correctional Facility (formerly Victor Verster Prison) near Cape Town, where Mandela spent his final years in prison, was modelled by Cape Town sculptor Jean Doyle from photographs of Mandela striding triumphantly to freedom after 28 years of incarceration. Facing onto Massachusetts Avenue, an artery that takes much of Washington’s elite to its offices downtown, the statue stands on the spot where, in the mid-1980s, thousands of American antiapartheid protesters symbolically surrendered their liberty under the banner of the Free South Africa Movement. Among those present at Saturday’s unveiling were Mandela’s daughter Zindzi, National Congress (ANC) chairwoman Baleka Mbete, International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, and Anant Singh, producer of the big-screen

dramatisation of Mandela’s autobiography Long Walk To Freedom, which had a successful debut at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month. The US was be represented by senior administration officials, members of Congress and civil rights leaders, including the four whose sit-in and arrest at the embassy on 21 November 1984 marked the birth of the Free South Africa Movement. They were Randall Robinson, founder of TransAfrica, Mary Frances Berry, former chair of the US Civil Right Commission, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, and her predecessor as DC delegate, Rev Walter Fauntroy. The Free South Africa Movement Almost every day from Thanksgiving 1983 through the following year, a cross-section of American society, from congressional leaders and celebrities like Stevie Wonder to mothers pushing strollers, gathered at the South African embassy and peaceably had themselves arrested for trespass. The campaign built momentum toward passage of the 1986 Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act (CAAA), a bipartisan measure adopted over President Reagan’s veto (as retold in the current hit film The Butler) to put pressure on Pretoria to release Mandela and other political prisoners and begin negotiations for a new non-racial democratic order. SkaddenArps partner and former White House chief counsel Greg Craig, who as foreign policy adviser to the late Senator Edward Kennedy played a significant role in crafting the CAAA, supported the statue project with legal services. A plaque at the base of the statue quotes from Mandela’s address to a joint session of Congress months after his release in 1990: “The stand you took established ... that here we have friends ... fighters against racism who feel hurt because we are hurt, who seek our success because they too seek the victory of democracy over tyranny. I speak ... of the millions of people throughout this great land who stood up and engaged the apartheid system in struggle. Let us keep our arms locked together so that we form a solid phalanx against racism ... Let us ensure that justice triumphs without delay.” ‘Golden triangle’ of monuments to leaders South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool commented recently: “We like to think this statue completes a golden triangle of monuments to leaders - Mahatma Ghandi, Dr Martin Luther King and now Nelson Mandela - who have shown by their examples that while the arm of the universe is long, it does not only tend towards justice of its own accord, it can be hastened in that direction peacefully by inspired leadership.” Simon Barber, US country manager for Brand South Africa, said: “Decisions that affect the world are made by men and women - including the US vice-president - who pass this way every day on their way to and from work. We hope they may draw inspiration from this reminder of a great South African.” Across the road is a statue of Winston Churchill, placed in front of the British ambassador’s residence in 1966 by the English Speaking Union, with right hand raised in the trademark Churchill V-for-victory. Mandela’s right hand is raised in the fist of a power salute. South African Embassy, Washington DC and SAinfo reporter
