NAINA- FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

AGREED “AGREED”, is a theatrical-fugue directed by Sylvaine Strike (Best Director Naledi Award for The Miser 2012) and performed by Lionel Newton. The production comprises of a trio of monologues, genially underscored by the emotive voice of the cello, played on stage by the renowned Kutlwano Masote. The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Robert Browning opens the show with a bold revisit to this well-loved work, soon focusing one`s attention on the majestic power of the English language. It introduces the biting theme of greed which runs through the entire production like an enticing golden thread, and is followed by a contemporary satirical monologue penned, “The Hand over”, written by Nick Warren. In true Warren style, this is an incisive stab at the current captains of capitalism, the new elite and their monetary-mentors.

HIGHER GROUND RESTAURANT The Best Views In Jozi

he last few months in Joburg have been sunny and friendly, with summer approaching and with beautiful Jacaranda trees blossoming, it seems the ideal time to be out and about. In Joburg, the beauty is evident and because we are engulfed by the hustle and bustle of city life, we all need an escape; we all require some form of retreat. Higher ground restaurant is the ideal location. Located on the beautiful grounds of St. Stithians College, the Higher Ground Restaurant has the best views in Jozi. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are on offer, on either one of the beautiful decks, the terrace area or inside the deli. The restaurant showcases the beauty surrounding us. We often get stressed about life, making decisions, expecting results however thankfully The Higher ground restaurant is the easiest decision we will ever have to make. Recently, there has been a shift on

how we think about food. Eating has become a way of escaping, a way to unwind, meet with friends and connect with the deeper values of life. We are increasingly challenging ourselves and constantly working, secured up in a building, its no wonder we have fallen in love with the relaxation and escapism of food and restaurants. Eating has become the focus of our leisure time. We simply just want to enjoy a sunny setting whilst eating wholesome food, surrounded by quirky friends. Fortunately Higher Ground restaurant has a relaxed and cozy ambience. The restaurant is lovely and trendy, making it the ideal scene. The meals are all freshly prepared using seasonal ingredients with an international flair. Their philosophy is “Our food is all made with natural, fresh ingredients that we source locally. Let us know if you have dietary restrictions - our friendly staff will help you find just the meal you want.” Thus each and every individual is given the opportunity to enjoy all dishes to their own taste and texture.

Hello Johannesburg February 2014 www.hellojoburg.co.za www.gohello.co.za

The food is casual yet divine, pristine yet original. For breakfast the Bakery makes fresh scones, cakes and the most delicious cupcakes. There are of course the traditional eggs and bacon, the ‘Burger Breakfast’ and the healthier alternative the ‘Pear and Almond Oatmeal’ that is just as marvelous. Moving towards Lunch and Dinner the starter options range from ‘Peri Peri Chicken Livers, Deep fried calamari rings served with savory rice and tartar and a favorite, the ‘Salmon Stacker’ which consists of Smoked salmon, tomato, avocado, capers drizzled with a dill crème fraiche, served with a homemade flatbread. It is absolutely mouth-watering. For mains, the ‘Beef Espetada’ and ‘Pork Belly’ are always desired, while the ‘Traditional English Fish and Chips are scrumptious. Then naturally delightful is the “Half Porra Chicken & Prawns’, which is a dinner to savor. These exceptional menu options and boasting the most spectacular view in Johannesburg, allows for the most wonderful corporate and private events. Especially with spring in the

air, what better way to celebrate a birthday with friends and families or experience a business meeting with associates and networks in the stunning background and backdrop of Joburg. With a range of areas to suit every event, Higher Ground is able to accommodate up to 350 people for a cocktail event, and up to 200 people for a plated dinner in the main restaurant area. The additional conference and boardroom facilities are adjacent to the restaurant and suggest a private and elegant space.

Allora Ristorante Classico is designed around the concept of a traditional Italian village. The focal points of the restaurant are the central fountain and the very distinctive wood burning ovens, enchantingly decorated using warm mosaic brickwork that gives a sun- drenched effect. The style of this casual yet sophisticated restaurant is closer to fine dining than most contemporary Italian. The vibrant colours and the warm menu are truly in sync. Allora is distinctly up-market with a refined atmosphere. It is sophisticated, yet its village feel makes it lean away from being pretentious. White linen tablecloths confirm the restaurants elegance. Its décor is eye-catching but not overbearing.

Hello Johannesburg February 2014 www.hellojoburg.co.za www.gohello.co.za

ollowing a triumphant 2013 that saw Vuyani Dance Theatre gracing stages from France to the USA, the company will celebrate its 15th anniversary by premiering a new, epic work at the Joburg Theatre in April 2014. The acclaimed Johannesburgbased contemporary African dance company, founded by awardwinning dancer, choreographer and artistic director Gregory Maqoma, brings the large-scale production Full Moon to the Joburg Theatre’s Mandela stage from 30 April to 11 May 2014. Maqoma is literally “over the moon” about this extraordinary dance adventure, featuring 25 South African dancers as well as a live orchestra – the South African National Youth Orchestra. He describes it as “certainly the biggest contemporary dance production produced in Johannesburg to date”. He will be bringing his trademark creativity and vision to Full Moon, an evocative dance odyssey that transports audiences from a celestial terrain of galaxies in outer space to the oceans, mountains and rivers of earth, set against a stirring aural backdrop of live original music, composed by Isaac Molelekoa under the artistic direction of Luyanda Sidiya. In 2014 Vuyani will be celebrating its 15th year of creating inventive, boundary-shifting contemporary dance in the same year the country observes 20 years of democracy. Full Moon sees the start of an exciting partnership between Vuyani and the South African National Youth Orchestra Foundation, which is also

celebrating a milestone in 2014 – it marks 50 years of training and developing the nation’s young musicians through courses, national and international tours and workshops, and networks. Over the years Vuyani has established itself as a sought-after and respected company, having performed extensively at home as well as across the length and breadth of Europe, Asia and North America. The company is still on a high following a busy and successful 2013, during which it enjoyed an extensive performance schedule both locally and internationally, and took part in a number of creative collaborations. In 2014, Vuyani Dance Theatre will also perform Four Seasons at the refurbished Market Theatre in February, before heading to Germany, Sweden and France with Wake Up! (a South African-Congolese collaboration) Kudu. Also on the cards is an American tour for Exit/Exist in June, as well as a short season of Dominion at the 40th National Arts Festival in July. Full Moon promises to be a fitting celebration of Vuyani’s 15-year milestone, truly embodying the company’s motto: creative dynamism in diversity. Don’t miss this heavenly close encounter of the theatrical kind! Book your tickets for Full Moon through www.joburgtheatre.com, or call 0861 670 670.

INTERIOR The 2014 Swift benefits from a smarter interior execution, with Bluetooth connectivity now added to the GLS model’s list of standard features. The system not only allows pairing with compatible devices such as mobile phones for wireless telephony, but also facilitates audio streaming from smartphones and Bluetoothenabled audio devices . Another welcome addition is cruise control, which has also been added to GLS models, and can be conveniently operated using switchgear located on the steering wheel. The seats of both GL and GLS versions of the updated Swift benefit from a new, more contemporary fabric, adding to the hatchback’s modern appeal. EXTERIOR Perhaps the most eye-catching update is the 2014 Swift’s redesigned grille, accompanied by a new bumper. GLS models benefit from the fitment of LED daytime running lights as standard, while there is a new cooling aperture surround for the GL derivative. At the rear, the high-

mounted third brake light is now a brighter LED unit. In addition, the full wheel caps of the GL model have been redesigned, while the GLS sports a brand new alloy wheel design. A new exterior colour, dubbed Luminous Blue Metallic, has also been introduced to the updated Swift model range. DRIVETRAIN The 2014 Swift range retains Suzuki’s efficient, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine. The K14B unit has a rated maximum power output of 70 kW at 6 000 r/min, coupled to a 130 Nm torque peak at 4 000 r/min. Fuel economy is a stand-out attribute across the Swift range, with the five-speed manual gearbox-equipped models achieving a combined-cycle consumption figure of just 5,5 litres/100 km, linked to CO2 emissions of 132 g/km. The GLS Automatic, with its smoothshifting four-speed auto transmission, posts a combined-cycle figure of 6,2 litres/100 km, with a commensurate CO2 emissions rating of 147 g/km. MODEL RANGE The 2014 Suzuki Swift is available in two specification grades. The Swift GL matches affordability to well above-average levels of standard features. It boasts power steering with heightadjustable steering wheel, electric windows front and rear, remote-controlled central locking for the doors and tailgate, and air-conditioning.

Also on the list are electrically adjustable mirrors, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and a multi-function trip computer that displays outside temperature, fuel consumption and driving range. The rear seat offers 60/40-split folding capability, with a handy convenience hook on the rear passenger seat backs for securing shopping bags. Safety standards are high, with the GL feature dual front airbags, as well as ABS anti-lock brakes. The Swift GLS offers an even more upmarket and sophisticated execution, and the choice of a manual or automatic gearbox. Visually, the main distinguishing features are the new 16-inch alloy wheels and the front fog lights, now framed by LED daytime running lights. Inside, the GLS now adds Bluetooth and cruise control to the already extensive specification list. The leather-trimmed steering wheel is adjustable for reach and height, and is equipped with switchgear for the sound system, and now also for the newly added cruise control.

also included. SWIFT SPORT The lively Swift Sport remains largely unchanged, retaining all the exterior and interior features unique to this performance model. However, it does gain the cruise control and Bluetooth functionality introduced to mainstream Swift models, while the relevant switchgear has been added to the Sport’s steering wheel, too. As the athlete of the Swift range, the Sport employs a free-revving 1,6-litre fuel-injected engine producing a lively 100 kW of maximum output at 6 900 r/min, linked to a torque peak of 160 Nm at 4 400 r/min. The Sport’s standard electronic stability control (ESC) optimises traction and safety, but can be switched off for those seeking an even racier driving experience. PRICING 2014 Swift 1.4 GL Manual - R165 900 2014 Swift 1.4 GLS Manual - R186 900 2014 Swift 1.4 GLS Auto R201 900 2014 Swift 1.6 Sport - R223 900

Safety standards are further enhanced by the standard fitment of dual front, side and curtain airbags.

The purchase price includes metallic paint, as well as the Suzuki Complete programme, which covers the full spectrum of after-sales support.

Additional features include automatic climate control, and a USB socket for playing music from flash drives or portable media devices. A keyless operation system that allows keyless starting and stopping, as well as unlocking and locking of the doors, is

The Suzuki Swift is covered by a comprehensive three-year/100 000 km warranty, supported by six-year corrosion cover. A three-year/ 60 000 km service plan is standard, as is a three-year AA roadside assistance plan.

MATTHEW MOLE

ome February 21 and 22, there is only one place to be if you’re in Jozi folks. Sex At The Lyric is definitely on our calendar as one not to miss. And here’s why.

CHOSEN AS EDITORS’ CHOICE – ALBUM OF THE YEAR IN ITUNES ‘BEST OF 2013’ CAMPAIGN

As comedian Trevor Gumbi who makes up one fifth of the line-up told us, you can expect the following,”4000 audience members sitting in reasonably comfortable theatre seats, passive aggressively fighting for the shared armrest, listening to five sexually depraved comedians tell sordid stories about their nonexistent sex lives in an extremely provocative manner, which will have all audience members either hiding their erections or slipping off their seats as if they were reading 50 shades of grey.”

apetonian singer-songwriter Matthew Mole’s debut album ‘The Home We Built’ has been chosen by iTunes as their Editors’ Choice – Album Of The Year in their Best of 2013 campaign. Matthew Mole made South African chart history earlier this year when he became the first local artist to enter the SA iTunes album chart at No.1 beating off stiff competition from international superstars JAY Z, The Rolling Stones, Michael Buble and Robin Thicke, as well as the world’s biggest compilation series NOW That’s What I Call Music to top the chart.

Now how can you miss out on that? There couldn’t be a better synopsis and if that doesn’t whet your appetite then get your libido checked out. So the question begs, are South Africans ready for such a provocative, tell all, squeal all kind of show? It’s a resounding yes in Trevor’s opinion. “ South African audiences have been ready for this type of show for many years already. Our event promoters weren’t. I’m really happy that Comedy Central tucked in their skirt and braved this frontier. Kudos to them” And how does Trevor’s girlfriend feel about her man on stage with carte blanch on bonking “ she’s not interested in the show since I told her I’m using my plus one ticket on my Mrs,...” You gotta love it!

- J.F SPINNER

CLICHéS

So in anticipation of the show Trevor shared some personal details.

Hello Jozi: Fantasy shag? Trevor Gumbi: A grown up version of Jessica Alba and Lulo Cafe’s love child HJ: Most embarrassing moment with a girl? TG: Finding out that we’re related while partaking in pillow talk. Went at it again for the last time and prepared to relocate to Boksburg, where these type of things aren’t frowned upon. HJ: Favourite position? TG: Any in which I do NOT accidentally see a reflection of myself breathing heavily and sweating over/under the poor unfortunate individual who has

made the horrible mistake of agreeing to this,…. Like I said, this is one not to be missed! So here’s the line-up John Vlismas (host) Celeste Ntuli Trevor Gumbi Anele Mdoda Nik Rabinowitz

Commenting on his album being voted iTunes Album Of The Year, Mole said: “This blows my mind. It’s so encouraging seeing how supportive people have been. Double thumbs up!” Karl Anderson, owner of Mole’s record label Just Music, added: “It’s been an amazing year for Matthew Mole given that he was a complete unknown 12 months ago. This is the best Christmas gift we could have ever asked for! We’re incredibly appreciative of the support iTunes have given Matthew’s album since the release at the end of July.”

Lonely are those who think about themselves only.

Mole’s debut album, ‘The Home We Built’, produced by Matthew Fink (Shadowclub, Tailor, Nakhane Toure), is already attracting keen international interest on both sides of the Atlantic where he has already been chosen as Record Of The Day in the UK (twice) and A&R Worldwide’s ‘Artist Of The Week’ & ‘Video Of The Week’ in the US over the past few months.

Success is the one who can fulfil his own dreams
