APPY NEW YEAR JOBURGERS!

I must say that the end of 2013 was a furious rush and I can’t believe that the Festive Season has come to an end and that we are now at the beginning of 2014! If like me, you’re feeling a little apprehensive about the coming year and slightly nervous yet still energized for what’s to come, then the January issue of Hello Joburg Magazine will help calm those nerves and offer you many wonderful things to do and look forward to this month. One of the premier theatre shows in January is the amazing tribute show to the King of Rock ‘n Roll – Elvis Presley. The show is on at Joburg Theatre for a limited time only, from the 16th of January to 2nd February so get your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment! I know that only starting 2014 now, you probably will not be thinking about Valentines Day but for all you men out there who leave things to the last minute (I’m one of them) why not impress your ladies by finalizing your Valentines Day plans early. Maximillien Restaurant in Sandton is offering a romantic night for two including a four course candle lit dinner at R500 per person. Booking is essential. For those of you who enjoy a little gardening and need some creative inspiration then I highly recommend you head on over to Lifestyle Home Garden in Honeydew from the 7th of February to see their annual Garden Design Show. Entrance is FREE! If your still in the Festive mood and looking for a great night out then Riffs Bar & Grill at Garden Court Hotel Sandton City is the place to be. This vibey, relaxing new restaurant offers a chilled yet sophisticated atmosphere where diners can enjoy a variety of meals while listening to timeless favorites. Finally, if you had to work through the Festive Season and are only able to take leave now then have a look at our Travel section where we have selected Durban as our recommended travel destination for January. From the Three Cities Gateway Hotel to Ushaka Marine World, there are many desirable options to keep you entertained on your visit to South Africa’s leading ‘Holiday Destination’. Compliments of the season to all our readers and whether you are Joburg residents or visitors to our great city, I hope that you find something in these pages to keep you entertained, satisfied and happy! #lovejozi

BLOOD BROTHERS is the story of two boys who are separated at birth when their financially desperate mother gives away one of her twins, but who are brought together again by friendship.

In this hilarious and sometimes dark show, Ruby Wax discusses the toxins of our time - envy, fame, television,

AGREED

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.

“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

THE TRAGEDY OF KING RICHARD III

BRYAN ADMADS: THE BARE BONES TOUR

Richard III dramatizes a key turning point in English history. Malicious, power hungry and bitter about his physical deformity, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (Warrick Grier), plots in secret as he manoeuvres his way to the throne – and decides to kill anyone he has to in order to become king. Deception and political manipulation abound in the history of his reign of terror and killing fields that caused the common and noble people of England to fear and loathe him. Maynardville, described as a spectacular green gem, has earned its reputation of being the best-loved outdoor theatre venue in the Cape and best known for its annual Shakespeare-in-the-Park productions.

The Bryan Adams Bare Bone Tour provides a rare opportunity for fans to see Bryan Adams as they`ve not seen him before. This new spin on his classic hits as part of his unplugged tour has been met with rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Bryan Adams has spent the last three decades making music history. He has sold over 65 million records, toured six continents and achieved #1 status in over 40 countries around the world.

After all craft is at the heart of the winemaking process, from the estates that produce our grapes who use the earth as their canvas to create the fruit which lends our wines their rich, distinctive character; to the winemakers who use the skills they have learned and developed over decades to create the rich varietals and blends that make up the Zonnebloem staple. Our commitment to craft doesn’t end with the bottled product, Zonnebloem invests in craftsmen and artisans to ensure that every bottle is presented, and enjoyed, in a way that speaks to the

considered excellent tomorrow. This wine is made entirely from Sémillon grapes. VINEYARDS (viticulturist: Annelie Viljoen) The grapes were sourced from bush vines in the Perdeberg area. A low yield ensured very concentrated flavours in the berries. The vines are grown on slopes facing in a westerly direction, in medium deep shale, granite and sandstone soils. Vines were irrigated only when necessary. WINEMAKING (cellarmaster: Deon Boshoff, winemaker: Elize Coetzee) The grapes were harvested by hand at 23° Balling in mid-February. In the cellar, the grapes were fermented in a single stainless steel tank at 13.5°C. After fermentation the wine was left on the primary lees and stirred occasionally to enhance the

O

ctober saw the exciting launch of the TrashCanKidz brand, held at the iconic restaurant Walnut Grove. Media and TV personalities; Sam Cowen, Rosie McKenzie, and Emmanuel Castis were amongst those to toast to the brands ribbon cutting. As part of Sandton City CSI initiative they have collaborated with TrashCanKidz, making them the official brand ambassadors for one of Africa’s premier shopping’s centers. Customers are now invited to visit the adoption center in Sandton City (between Earthchild U86 A and Naartjie U301) to adopt one of the five adorable kidz. About TrashCanKidz Our motto is ‘Every Child Counts’ and it’s really very simple. TrashCanKidz is a commercial enterprise with a social conscience and purpose. We are here to give a voice to the voiceless – to the thousands and millions of orphaned, vulnerable and street children of the world. Homeless boys and girls who, for one reason or another, the world has ‘forgotten.’ TrashCanKidz is here to start a conversation about the plight of these children and to take positive steps so that ours can be the generation that starts making a difference. And we’re doing it in a really unique, powerful and meaningful way – through the power of play! TrashCanKidz invites kids to adopt an adorable TrashCanKidz doll of their own. These dolls represent the homeless children of our world. There are five TrashCanKidz dolls namely; Calypso, Slam, Solo, Rose, and Samson. Calypso is the surfer and Slam is the cool kid, both of The Forgotten

World. Slam loves to grind the rails of his skateboard. Solo is the shyest of the TrashCanKidz and Rose is the youngest of the TrashCanKidz and she loves flowers and fluffy animals. Then there is Samson who likes to keep strong and fit. He does not take kindly to bullies and is always ready to help if any of the TrashCanKidz needs his help. For every one of the dolls adopted, we donate 20% to an organisation or initiative supporting children in need. There is also an iPad game, with plans for card games and interactive books available – so that kids can get involved in the adventures of their TrashCanKidz. And for everything that we do, everything that we sell – we make a contribution to the charities and organisations we are working with Trashcankidz Head office, Johannesburg South Africa Website: www.trashcankidz.co.za

WHAT IS MICRODERMALASER? This advanced treatment, which is a combination of Soft Laser® and Microdermabrasion, assists in ageprevention and gives skin a healthy, youthful glow. The process employs fine crystals to gently buff and resurface the skin, removing tired surface cells and stimulating new cell production. Promoting a healthy, youthful skin tone. *This treatment is not recommended for hyper-sensitive skin. WHAT IS CEYA® (NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT)? CEYA® is a remarkable toning and firming therapy that is scientifically proven to achieve immediate and lasting results. The process uses radio waves to penetrate the body with ‘colda energy’. To balance itself, your body naturally heats the area by increasing blood flow to the region. Simultaneously supplying nutrients and oxygen while carrying away toxins and waste. This has the effect of sculpting and toning beautiful muscle while assisting with fine lines and wrinkles. WHAT IS ADVANCED FLUORESCENT TECHNOLOGY (AFT)? AFT Rejuvenation improves dull complexions, uneven pigmentation and large pores, as well as red flushing skin and rosacea. AFT pulsed light gives your skin a younger appearance.

STER-KINEKOR OPENS STATE-OF-THE-ART CINEMA COMPLEX AT CRADLESTONE MALL

f you are human, you can braai. Cooking meat over a fire is something that defines our evolution as a species. The act of using fire to cook food even defines our social structure as mammals – thanks to the lucky lightning strike eons ago, and the fact that there were some steaks handy. Anything tastes better if you hold it over a fire for a while. Sure, it may not improve the flavour of Brussels sprouts, but if you leave them on for long enough, it’s a good way to get rid of them. Take everything you think you know about cooking and forget it. Jean Nel is re-inventing the braai. It is about so much more than just steaks and boerewors; anything that can be eaten can be braaied. From salads to sides, meats to veg... you could even invite a vegetarian to a braai! In Braai the Beloved Country, Jean Nel shares his favourite braai recipes from

The book contains the secrets of cooking everything from a perfect ‘tjoppie’ to breads and salads on that favourite South African cultural icon – the braai. Not only does he present a host of delicious and unexpected recipes; he goes beyond just cooking, covering everything you need to know about the braai including the tools you’ll need and their maintenance. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jean Nel is a trusted instructor at the Pick n Pay Good Food Studio and an official Weber coach for the Western Cape. His recipes are staples in households across the country. Now he has finally written down all the recipes that make him such a sought-after teacher and corporate event caterer.

MOTORING The Best Cars To Take You Through Jozi

SUBARU BRZ GAINS MOMENTUM IN SOUTH AFRICA • Subaru BRZ named a 2014 WesBank/SAGMJ Car of the Year semi-finalist • Standard performance exhaust proven to add 7 kW extra power • New BRZ Sportshift automatic model joins local line-up The Subaru BRZ – the brand’s newest model and also the only one available with rear-wheel drive – is making increasingly important waves in South Africa where its more dedicated following has taken a liking to the pure sports car connotations afforded by the Subaru badge. Says Ashley Lazarus, Subaru Southern Africa Marketing Manager: “The BRZ is appealing – as it should – to true sports car enthusiasts and not least to those who know what the Subaru badge stands for in South Africa. The local motoring media seem to realise this as well, as they named the Subaru BRZ 2.0 manual a semi-finalist in the running to next year’s prestigious WesBank/SAGMJ Car of the Year competition. It is a true delight that our BRZ is part of this group of vehicles, and proof of its worthiness as one of the best vehicles in its class. “What we are also very proud of is the fact that we are now able to

38

confirm that the standard performance exhaust fitted to the BRZ has been proven to deliver an increase in engine output by 7 kW – a meaningful gain which further sets the BRZ apart, not only on the aural front whereby the normally-aspirated Boxer® engine can be heard in all its glory, but also in the performance stakes where seconds count.” Further to the extra power, the local BRZ range is now expanding with the addition of the BRZ 2.0 Sportshift 6-speed automatic derivative. Following the already high specification level of the six-speed manual derivative, the BRZ automatic gains paddle shifters as an added bonus, with an overall price premium of just R10 000. “The new BRZ automatic allows anyone who has a yearning to own this iconic sports car the opportunity to do so, whether they prefer manual or automatic gearboxes. Its exclusivity in the South African market adds further appeal as a very attractive option in the compact sports car stakes, and the addition of the automatic ‘box has not removed any of the BRZ’s unique character or driving fun, making it a viable alternative to the manual.”

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

Both Subaru BRZ models continue to feature a 2.0-litre normally-aspirated four-cylinder Boxer® petrol engine which produces 154 kW and 205 Nm, the six gears of either model delivering the force to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential. Standard equipment includes the performance exhaust, a rear spoiler, 17-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, keyless access and starting, dual-zone climate control, seven airbags and

five-mode VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control). Retail pricing is as follows, including a 3-year/ 100 000 km warranty and a generous 5-year/ 105 000 km maintenance plan: Subaru BRZ 2.0 6MT R389 900 Subaru BRZ 2.0 Sportshift 6AT R399 900
