CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET What:DANCE INTERNATIONAL Where: ARTSCAPE THEATRE When: 22-30 October Book at computicket or Dial-A-Seat 021 421 7695 Tickets R100-R150 The Cape Town City Ballet will present a triple bill, 'DANCE INTERNATIONAL' at the Artscape Theatre, Cape Town from 22 — 30 October, 2011 This triple bill features two international works of outstanding character, flanking a work by acclaimed South African choreographer, Adele Bank.

Solitaire was first seen in 1956, danced by the Sadler's Wells Ballet in London. The ballet was described by the choreographer, Sir Kenneth MacMillan, as "a kind of game for one", in which a girl tries repeatedly to join in the activities of her friends, but always finds herself alone. Danced to the music of British composer, Sir Malcolm Arnold, this ballet will be taught and staged by the Artistic Director of the Royal Academy of Dance, Lynn Wallis.

Adele Blank's creation, Mad Dogs, is a more contemporary work and uses an eclectic range of music and subject in its string of fascinating vignettes, reflecting real-life situations. The work is influenced by the paintings of Jack Vettriano.

Graduation Ball, the third work on the programme, was created in 1940 by the Russian choreographer, David Lichine, for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo. Using music by Johan Strauss II arranged by Antal DurĂĄti, the ballet is set in a Viennese boarding school, where the young girls put on a ball with the cadets of the city's military academy.

Liane Lurie, former ballerina and Ballet Mistress of the PACT Ballet Company, will teach and direct this work.

This is a diverse programme, taking the audience from the delightfully wistful Solitaire to critically acclaimed local choreographer, Adele Blanks contemporary genius ending with the quirky and charming classic, Graduation ball.

Every week you will find a different menu at the Foodbarn where Franck’s French inspired food is paired meticulously with Nitida’s cool climate, smooth wines. Nitida, situated in the heart of the idyllic Durbanville Wine Valley, is set apart by its cool climate wines from an area unsurpassed in delivering long, slow, ripening conditions because of its surprisingly high altitude and close proximity to the icy Atlantic Ocean.

Frank is held in high esteem for food that is beautifully prepared without being pretentious by capturing the natural tastes, smells and textures in every Foodbarn dish. Known for his wonderfully unconventional and adventurous wine pairings, you can expect to try a different menu every week, from smoked bonito slices to warm baby squid salad paired with Nitida Sauvignon Blanc 2011. Alternatively there are escargots or his yellow lentils and coriander spring rolls, which can be enjoyed with Nitida Semillon 2010.

Fish lovers can enjoy a variety of different roasted fish dishes every week, which go beautifully with the Bordeaux style white blend, Nitida Coronata 2009. And for the adventurous, try the offal of the day with Nitida Semillon 2010. Meat aficionados can look forward to various slow roasted pork, lamb or rump cutlets weekly to pair with Nitida Cabernet Sauvignon 2009. For your sweet tooth, choose between interesting homemade options such as ice creams, cakes or crepes that change weekly.

You can enjoy this food and wine tasting experience from Mondays to Saturdays for lunch or dinner and choose between a 3-course meal at R165, 4-courses at R185 or a 5-course menu at R215. Included in the price, you can watch Frank when he does a cooking demonstration on Wednesday evenings between 18h30 and 19h30 of some of the dishes on his menu. Over and above the paired wines, and on Sundays, Nitida wines are available at very good prices either by the bottle or carafe. These are also available with his a la carte menu.

MYKONOS TAVERNA

Nitida, on the Durbanville Wine Route, is a mere 20 minutes from the Cape Town city centre and is a very central meeting place for friends from the Southern and Northern suburbs and nearby Boland towns. The farm has built an enviable reputation for its cellar door hospitality and award-winning wines, particularly Sauvignon Blanc and offers a combination of unbeatable views, imaginative food and wonderful wines in a unique, friendly environment.

SPRING TO LIFE KIRSTENBOSCH GARDEN WALKS Date & Time: Walks start at 10am and 11am and last approximately 2hrs. No walks on Sundays.

Entrance Charge: Normal Garden entrance fees. No charge for the walk.

How to book: Obtain tickets, No booking required.

Adults: R37,Children (6-17yrs): R10, Under 6 yrs.: Free Venue / Location: Start from Information Desk at Visitor's Centre, Kirstenbosch NBG Description: The Garden guides offer two daily walks, at 10am and 11am except Sundays. These are general Garden walks aimed at visitors from overseas or from other parts of South Africa. Visitors are given a general view of the Garden or as much as can be fitted into such a short time. The walk usually takes two hours, but can be shorter or longer - to suit the visitors' needs. Tour guides give visitors a resumĂŠ of the Garden's history, from Khoi-San through Dutch and British colonial times to the present day. They explain the physical features of the Garden, the streams and water supply.

They explain the importance of the Cape Floristic Region and the reason for it being a World Heritage Site, stressing the biodiversity that makes Kirstenbosch different from the other 6 great botanical gardens of the world. The guides do their best to stay well informed and capable of answering questions from those who want more than just a general walk, always ready to acknowledge ignorance too!

Much depends on the age and physical fitness of the visitors - not all can reach the lovely Protea section in the upper reaches of the Garden. People in wheelchairs and parents with prams have to be accommodated too - in which case it limits the walk to the lower areas.

SPRING IT ON CONSTANTIA

From the 15th to the 24th October The Constantia Valley Association invites you to the Constantia Valley where you will enjoy warm hospitality, fine wines, heavenly food and a lot of fun.

"Spring it On" Constantia is the perfect way to shake off those winter blues and ready yourself for the coming summer season.

Aside from the initial reputation Constantia established for producing world-famous dessert wines, it's more recent fame has been associated with fine quality white wines, particularly those made from Sauvignon Blanc, which tend to display hallmark Constantia character of mineral, citrus fruit and floral notes. Lately the Constantia Valley has become synonymous with the production of classically styled red wines thanks to our position on the Cape Peninsula and the benefit this cool maritime climate lends to the production of fine wines.

In addition to the reputation for wines the Constantia Valley is also recognised for its fine restaurants with highly acclaimed chefs at the helm; La Colombe at Constantia Uitsig, The Greenhouse Restaurant at the Cellars-Hohenort, Buitenverwachting

Sharing the stage with nothing but a baby grand piano (in tune, if you are lucky) and their off-beat sense 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”.

Alan Swerdlow and Roxmouth have cleverly adapted some of the material to a South African context and with brilliant insight, sharp wit and impeccable good taste will have the audience in stitches.

TOURISM NEWS Ubuntu Expo showcases South Africa increased demand for information by the global tourism industry, and a surge in international tourist arrivals, have sparked the launch of a forum for tourism agents and suppliers to network while learning more about South Africa’s tourist destinations.

Launched barely two weeks ago, Ubuntu Expo, a multi-city trade show spearheaded by South African Tourism, has already visited the American cities of New York, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles, promoting South Africa as a prime tourist destination.

It was launched at the Pierre Hotel in New York City to more than 150 travel agents and journalists, and over 20 South African suppliers. Plans have been put in place to host it annually.

The launch was attended by Johannesburg Executive Mayor Parks Tau and his portfolio head of finance, Geoff Makhubo, as well as a delegation from the City of Joburg. The consul-general of South Africa in New York, George Monyemangene, and SthuZungu, president of South African Tourism North America, were also in attendance.

Zungu said figures for international tourists to South Africa had surged because of competitive tourism packages and popular local trends. She said the expo focused on educating tourists about available and competitive tourism packages and destinations.

It was designed to bring together the global industry, as building relationships was pivotal to growing tourism and for tourists to “fully comprehend our multi-dimensional destination”. Ubuntu Expo was just one of many platforms South African Tourism was investing in to promote the country abroad, she said.

arrivals from other African countries grew by 7.3%.

Zungu said the expo would reinforce South Africa as a preferred holiday destination by providing necessary resources to make travelling to the country possible. Eco-tourism was an emerging market, an important selling point for the country, and this would be used as leverage.

SA Airways posts another profit South African Airways (SAA) made a net profit of

R782-million in the 2010/11 financial year, it announced on Thursday.

This was a 77% increase from last year’s R442million.

“SAA’s financial position and the state of the business continue to show significant improvement,” board chairwoman Cheryl Carolus said in a statement.

“This financial performance is an encouraging response to the strategic objective to become a fully sustainable business over the next three years ... and positioning SAA to compete successfully in the global aviation market in 10 years.”

Group operating profit rose by 66% to R807-million from the previous year.

Turnover, consisting largely of passenger revenue, increased from R16.9-billion to R18-billion.

Operating costs rose by five percent.

Public Enterprises Minister MalusiGigaba said the airline, as a state-owned entity, was mandated to grow as a business while maintaining its role in the country’s development.

“It is crucial that SAA continues to support matters of relevance from a shareholder perspective and enhance the state’s policy objectives, such as the airlift strategy which seeks to regulate air transport... and the employment creation objectives.”

Recent figures for tourist arrivals from the US in South Africa reveal a 15.6% year-over-year growth since April. Trends have highlighted an increased interest in family and multi-generational travel to the country, as more suppliers had started to accommodate children.

He attributed the growth to the country’s traditional markets and exciting investment markets.

Visitor numbers from Europe rose 4.5%, North America were up 16.8%, Asia increased 29.3%, India rose 51% and China were up 25.6%. Tourist

It is located on the Grand Parade to the west of the Castle of Good Hope and is built from honey-colored limestone imported from Bath in England.
