EVERYONE IS READING

from the Editor

I

was recently invited to join a group on Facebook called Vintage Cars for Sale in South Africa from 1900 to 1986. It’s a popular site because although it’s a closed group, it has 58 814 members and its extremely active.

If you like old cars, you may even be a member. What amazes me is how much money people are apparently prepared to pay for cars that to all intents and purposes are rubbish.

Seriously – I’ve seen rusted and decayed old scrappers loving described as “Barn Finds” with outrageous price tags that some people are obviously prepared to pay for them. Then there are the better looking restored machines that have had huge amounts of cash spent on them to get them back to near original condition. To the accountant type, this makes little sense because the fully restored old banger isn’t intrinsically worth anywhere near what has been spent to restore it. Still, as they say, there’s one born every minute and if restoring old cars is your thing, I am sure you derive a lot of pleasure from it… and I totally get it.

I believe much of the appeal lies in preserving

memories, and vehicles are often intimately connected to one’s past. I was reminded of this recently when I was drawn into a conversation about 50cc motorcycles and how they changed the landscape of our teenage years.

My cousin had what, to me, was the coolest fifty on the planet. It was a very early 70’s vintage Suzuki and it was the absolute bomb! I learned to ride on this magnificent machine but you had to be sixteen to legally ride a fifty and how I longed to come of age…to be able to break the shackles and fly away to adventure unimaginable…to ride the range astride a steel pony with the miles dropping away behind you and the promise of Brigadoon ahead.

It took quite a bit of wrangling on my part to persuade my parents to buy me a bike…there was the obvious danger associated with the traffic to contend with but this was really no match to the liberation from the school run and sports practices that my own transport offered to people trying to juggle work and a busy household.

The object of my desire was a shiny candy apple red Suzuki TS 50 – a street scrambler that allowed you to explore the rougher tracks too… and it was a dream come true. I loved that bike more passionately than any other vehicle I have subsequently ever owned and I lavished more attention on it that I probably should have. To give it a more significant profile, I fitted the widest rear tire that the rim could take – the original was a bit skinny to be taken seriously – and it looked fantastic!

I kept it immaculate – polished to a brilliant shine that was thrilling to behold – and we flew…

Oblivious to the potential nightmare around every corner, my daily commute to school took me through some of the most congested morning

traffic in the heavy industrial complex that linked Benoni and Boksburg on the East Rand. I rode that brave little bike through streams of trucks, buses and cars in driving rain, choking industrial smog, bitter winter cold and glorious sunshine, often with a sports bag balanced on the tank adding to the challenge. Sometimes I’d meet up with other riders and we’d arrive at our destination like a detachment of Western cavalry returning from a sortie through the Badlands. I looked good on that bike – black helmet and shades apparently went well with the honours braid and merit scrolls on my school blazer and I often found passionate love notes tucked under the strap across the saddle. Oh yes, there was a huge element of cool that went with owning a bike….and if the truth be told, that was a major reason to ride one.

And now, if by some miracle, I came upon that bike again, there is no doubt that I would pay many times its worth to restore it to its original condition… to preserve the memories …and maybe revive a little of the magic from some of the best days of my life.

IN THE SUGARCANE

L

IKE a carnival in the canefields, the third instalment in the Marriott Ballito Beats concert series sprung up on Sunday 17th September at Sugar Rush Park just outside Ballito. Following epic winds the previous day, the weather forecast was threatening, but even so, people arrived in numbers and the park was filled with happy concertgoers looking forward to an afternoon of good live music.

They were treated to three acts on the day: the main attraction being The Parlotones, who were supported by The Voice SA 2017 runner up Freddie L and his band, and a young local solo artist called Graham Hunt.

The stand-out act of the day came from solo performer Graham who overcame technical difficulties with the sound to surprise us with a selection of sensitive originals and some interesting covers too. He has a voice that soars and his guitar work is equally accomplished.

The Freddie L band followed, giving an energetic performance that featured unconventional vocals, some impressive guitar work and a rock-solid drummer.

They delivered a strong set that left the audience charged for the main attraction.

Onward to the headlining act: The Parlotones!

With a career spanning almost 20 years and track record of multiplatinumselling success, the band’s reputation precedes them and their popularity was obviously a deciding factor when many weather-watchers threw caution to the wind to claim their place on the grass for the Sunday show.

For the faithful, the reward was an authentic showcase from one of the hardest-working bands in the biz.

As they launched into a rich

repertoire of popular hits, frontman Kahn Morbee’s voice started off sounding like it might have been working a little too hard of late, as he strained to reach the high notes on a few opening numbers.

Whether he was battling a case of the flu or simply vocal cord stress, as the band warmed up, so too did Kahn’s golden throat and soon the band hit their stride with fans rising to their feet to dance up in front of the stage until the encore. As a show, it was real… it was raw… It was rock! There’s nothing quite like experiencing a seasoned band live and the Parlotones certainly are a band for all seasons.

The weather, too, performed brilliantly and the rain that had been forecast failed to materialise. There were apparently over 1500 people in attendance which, considering the poor weather forecast, wasn’t bad at all. With another concert in the Marriott Ballito Beats series successfully concluded, hopefully we’ll see you at the next one…

Taking place on Sunday 29th October, the fourth concert promises a historic collaboration between two of South Africa’s leading musical frontmen: Ard Matthews (of Just Jinjer fame) and Arno Carstens (of the Springbok Nude Girls) - It’s going to be another rocker! Best get your tickets from Webtickets.co.za or from the ticket kiosk inside Ballito Junction Pick n Pay: you won’t want to miss this one.

PUPPY SCHOOL

BELINDA BOLTE 1-2-1 PERSONAL PUPPY AND DOG TRAINING

GLENDA THOMPSON HI EVERYONE, Thank you so much for your feedback from the last Consumer Column and so glad to hear that decluttering is something on many minds at this time of year! We have a snippet on decluttering one’s wardrobe from wellknown stylist, Daniyel Barry from Style Me in this week’s column, but before Dan’s piece, I wanted to share something that many of us shy away from, but need to know more about – Estate Duty Taxes.

Many people that I’ve spoken to have been totally unaware of what it involves. I spoke to Financial Adviser, Nirvashni Rajkumar to find out more.

Says Nirsvashni “Death is an awkward subject. Does one really want to prepare for it? Instead we dust off that file when tragedy appears and we are startled into reality. Most of the time we wade through life blissfully ignorant. Estate planning is a deceptive term making it seem that it’s for the confines of the wealthy. I want to clear this up now, it’s applicable to everybody.

It’s an instrument to protect you, your family and the fruit of your life’s work when you are not here. A will is a simple document that is a gift of certainty to your loved ones about inheritance, financial well- being and their futures.”

Back to tax, it’s a conundrum, if you haven’t updated or put in place a will do you know what you own and owe right now? Are you aware of the potential 20 % estate duty tax payable to SARS on your death? Does it apply to you and have you put in place measures to aid your family for this expense? Whether you’re a blue collar worker, multimillionaire, international citizen; estate planning is for you. Consult a professional financial adviser to fully unpack your position and protect your legacy. Contact Nirvashni on

nirvashni.farkumar@liblink.co.za for more information on Estate planning.

How to De-clutter your wardrobe “What stays & what goes?”

When last did you do a good wardrobe detox? I call it detox, because once you’ve done it, it literally cleanses your mind, body & soul.

Clearing the clutter helps you to think clearer in all areas of your life as well as limiting your choices in the morning. Let’s face it! We are spoilt with choice when our wardrobes are bursting at the seams. We waste time trying to figure out what goes with what and then, in typical fashion, we put our hands on our hips and say “I have nothing to wear!”

This is why Capsule dressing has become a new trend in our busy lives. To quote Wiki: “A Capsule wardrobe is a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces.”

We all think more is more but in actual fact, more is less. The more you have in your wardrobe the less you have to wear.

Too many items to choose from makes it difficult to pull an outfit together. Often there is very little co-ordination as most items have been bought as once offs. Less is more. If you wanted to, you could create more than 72 outfits out of 12 garments.

This excludes shoes & accessories. It’s the way you put them together. You need to buy Key Investment pieces which all work together. This gives you endless options!!

Contact Daniyel on daniyel@styleme.co.za for more advice.

Please keep your feedback coming through! We’ll be back on air once we have found a solid sponsor for the show.

Contact me (gjthomo@gmail.com) or Sue (sue@lifeandstyle.fm) to find out more.

CLOSING DOWN SALE LEANNA’S ART & FRAMING

P

uppy school gives your puppy a great start and teaches you how to bond with your puppy for life.

Socialisation is the phase of learning during which puppies form relationships with other dogs, animals and people.

Young puppies that are exposed to a variety of positive influences are better adjusted than those who grow up in a closed environment.

11 basic exercises/commands are taught and the classes incorporate social exercises, educational talks and fun games.

Rules and boundaries in the family pack are covered, challenging behaviours, safety, nutrition, health care and parasites.

The course takes 6 weeks and you get two course cycles to complete your 6 week course.

Each lesson is an hour long.

When can puppies attend puppy school?

From as early 8 weeks of age, once the first round of vaccinations have taken place.

[5 months is the cut off for puppy school] This is the best possible time to expose your puppy to everything that they need to get used to, to fit into their “parents'” world: • Different kinds of people (races, age groups, men and women and children) • Strange objects (bicycles, skateboards, balloons, hats, prams) • Other animals (including other puppies, adult dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, horses, livestock) • Strange noises (television, radio, vacuum cleaners, traffic, lawn mowers) • Funny smells (perfumes, car exhausts, fires, exotic foods and cleaning agents).

For some dogs, missing this ‘window of opportunity’ can lead to a life time of fear and possibly aggression. Even though it is important to continue to expose your dog to as many things as possible throughout adolescence, this

early period is seen as perhaps the most important.

Many people still think that their puppy is too young or unable to attend Puppy School at this age because of the threat of infectious diseases. However Puppy Schools are specifically designed as a way to meet the vital need for exposure and socialisation in a clean, safe, supervised environment.

But that is only part of Puppy School. Probably the most important aspect of Puppy School is to equip the puppy parent, with the skills and knowledge to make their puppy a pleasure to live with for the rest of their life. You will learn the skills to train

your puppy and to properly take care of your best friend.

Tip for the week:

Desensitising your puppy/ adopted dog to a collar/lead/ harness.

Place the equipment on your puppy/adopted dog and use treats to make it a positive experience.

A great time to practice this is just before you are about to feed them their meals. This creates a positive association, as most dogs are very happy when they are eating.

As soon as they have finished their meal then take the equipment off before they start scratching or chewing at it.

Keep it positive.

Easy First Steps towards

STEPHANIE WILLS - LIFESTYLE HEALTH

R

IGHT. It’s time to get real. Who loves being lazy? Who wants to lose weight?

Who wishes those two sentences didn’t contradict each other!? Yes. Yes. Yes.

Well… maybe they don’t have to. Here are our best ways to begin the weight loss process, without having to set foot in a gym;

DRINK. Only water, black coffee or herbal tea (especially green tea). Yes, it may sound drastic BUT you’d be surprised at how many calories you can ‘drink’ in a day. If you switch all beverages to zero calorie liquids you’d be amazed at what a difference it can make!

FIND YOUR FLOW. So I know this sounds a bit airy fairy, but when you find something (non-food related) that you enjoy doing - where time stands still and you get lost in the activity you stop focussing on what you ate or are going to eat/what you look like/how stressed you are etc. and weight loss becomes an unexpected bonus rather than an obsession.

POST IT. Create a social media account (Instagram is our fav) and post what you eat.

Visually tracking your diet in such a public way keeps you accountable and often helps you make wiser choices. Alternatively, track your diet on an app like MyFitness Pal. SLEEP IN THE DARK. Research shows that the better the quality of your sleep, the lighter you’ll be. And when I say dark I mean pitch black. Use block out curtains, switch off all technology and make sure there isn’t even a teeny tiny red LED light blinking on your surge protector plug.

EAT WITH SMALLER UTENSILS OFF SMALLER PLATES. You’ll trick your mind into

believing that you’re getting more food than you would if you dished up the same portion on a restaurant-style platter. Another way to do this is to use plates with a rim. As an aside, researchers have actually shown that if you eat off of a white

plate versus a brightly coloured plate (e.g. a red plate), you tend to eat less. Somehow the colour red makes us hungrier – which clearly is wellknown by fast-food chains.

SPICE IT UP. Cayenne pepper in particular revs metabolism and curbs appetite. Add a touch of chili to scrambled eggs, soups, curries, stews or even your guacamole.

CHECK YOUR PRESCRIPTION MEDS.

Unfortunately, all the dieting and exercising in the world won’t shift those extra kgs if the side effect of the medication you’re taking is weight gain. Consult with your trusted health care practitioner if this is the case.

POP A PILL. A natural one that is! Good Health Liposorb binds to dietary fats and blocks their absorption, Himalaya Ayurslim curbs cravings and decreases appetite, Dr. Boxhall’s Green Coffee Bean Extract with Raspberry Ketones burns fat and detoxifies the body and Sontal Tonalin CLA decreases the amount of fat your body stores and helps you burn calories more efficiently.

ADD BULK, TO LOSE BULK. Psyllium husk is a great soluble fibre that is amazing for satiety, improved bowel health and function, lowered cholesterol and balanced blood sugar.

STAND UP. No you don’t have to exercise.

All you need to do is move more and sit less. If you have a desk job, get a standing desk. Watch TV while walking on a treadmill. Get a smart watch or download an App to remind you to stand up every thirty mins. Play with your kids instead of watching them... Pretty much just avoid all chairs and couches! Challenge yourself to stand as much as possible.

For lazy people ‘baby steps’ is the name of the game. The motivation to accomplish your weight loss goals will increase the more you turn these simple steps into long lasting lifestyle habits.

Then who knows, you may even consider getting your sweat on once in a while?!

HELP US INCREASE AWARENESS OF HEARING LOSS AND ASSOCIATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS! 031 208 1014 / 032 586 1179 admin@thaudiology.co.za

You may be reading this and thinking, “but I’m not old enough to have a hearing problem” or “this is limited to the older population, and it is not relevant to me!” Hearing loss is not limited to the elderly, and the risk factors associated with hearing loss should be better understood in order to identify a hearing loss before it becomes a problem! The earlier one identifies a hearing loss, the better the chances of identifying other associated medical conditions that would have otherwise gone undetected. This is why our theme for Deaf Awareness month 2017 is about the associated conditions that one should be aware of that may be lurking undetected – or alternatively if a person has any of the associated conditions, their hearing loss may have gone undetected for many years. The earlier we begin to manage hearing loss, the easier it is to adapt and cope well as we become older.

FEEL GOOD STORIES AND IDEAS

KELLY DE JESUS - TIFFANY’S BEAUTY SALON

W

ONDERING why people choose to spray tan? I believe that sunbeds and extended periods of exposure to sun have long term damaging effects to your skin.

The best solution to your tanning needs would be a spray tan done in the salon or to use one of our home tanning products. The Tan Lab products stocked at Tiffany's Beauty Salon start from R150 and have a range of amazing ingredients such as shea butter, lactic acid, spirulina and allantoin to name a few.

For best results come in for a spray tan and follow the following guidelines: •Shower, shave and exfoliate your skin just before your treatment. For best results book your treatment a day or two before your event or holiday Waxing appointments should be done at least a day before your spray tan and never on the same day.

•Do not use deodorant or apply moisturiser. If you

S

would like to wear moisturiser on your face that is fine. If you choose to wear make-up you can still spray over your face but you’ll need to leave your make up on for up to 8 hours. I have applied make up afterwards too and it didn’t affect my tan.

•Wear lose dark clothing to the appointment, don’t wear tight socks or clothing that will rub over the tan as it needs time to set. Bring an umbrella, park in our basement if possible, that way you can go straight out our doors into the elevator and straight to your car (often people prefer not to wear their bra or make up and don’t want to be seen) •The best time of day to do a spray tan is the end of the day, it’s always best to go home pop your PJ’s on and put your feet up and let your tan develop. It doesn’t stain clothing or bedding and washes out.

•When you shower the next morning or 8 hours after your treatment you will notice the colour coming off, this is just a bronzer. It helps guide us during your spray tan and the colour has developed underneath.

•To help prolong your tan you can avoid soaking in the bath and exfoliating your skin. For best results shower, pat dry and apply moisturiser daily. You can also use one of the products from our wide range of The Tan Lab products to extend your tan.

I hope to see you seen for a spray tan, remember you only get one body in life so try take care of it the best you can. If you choose to tan then do so knowing that extended hours in the sun can lead to premature ageing, pigmentation and possible skin cancer.

Wonder LAB…

inylux Manis, Pedis and Massages will be available from Friday 22nd September.

Dr Hauschka facials and Vita Liberata Luxury Tan will launch on 1st October.

Vita Liberata is the world’s first completely non-toxic tanning brand, with spray tan solutions free from parabens, perfume, alcohol, sulphates and all other chemicals of concern. Advanced Organic Technology (Advoganic) and natural skincare extracts are key to the formulas, offering more than just a tan treatment.

Advoganic Technology combines cutting edge proprietary skin chemistry with highly potent organic botanicals, to make their performance superior to traditional cosmetic chemicals - meaning these formulas are more effective than ever.

With a great emphasis on truly eco-friendly brands, both these brands keep the needs of the skin and the environment in mind when creating sustainable beauty products.

BOXING IS THE NEW FITNESS

TREND SUPERMODELS LOVE

GIGI HADID, CARA DELEVIGNE AND KENDALL JENNER ARE FANS OF THIS KILLER WORKOUT WOMEN ARE FLOCKING TO

LINLEY TABER

O

N A recent Saturday, Megan Tyler pulled on her boxing gloves and began a punishing hour of non-stop jabs, crosses and hooks at Gotham Gym in New York City.

Then she went home to primp for a swanky benefit that night.

“Even the girliest of girls can admit it just feels great to hit something,” says the lifestyle publicist, 24. “I’m obsessed.”

She’s not alone. With a handful of new boxing gyms in the city — including two recently opened boutique studios — plus modelsof-the-moment like Gigi Hadid

that has women like Tyler hooked.

“It’s definitely toned my abs and arms and improved my overall stamina,” she says. “Plus, it requires brainpower and a sense of choreography, and that type of focus helps me completely drown out my other stresses.”

It’s the think-quick, skillbased nature of the sport that differentiates it from trendy workouts like indoor cycling, says celebrity trainer Michael Olajide Jr. “Repetitive exercises can get boring,” says Olajide, who trains Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes at his studio, Aerospace.

Delivering high performing beauty products while simultaneously taking care of our big, beautiful, earth.

It's all about the experience - enjoy complimentary bubbly or wine.

Complimentary flip flops with every pedi.

stepping into the ring, the sport is hotter than ever with the chic set.

ClassPass, the New York-based fitness-class platform beloved by 24- to 35-year-old women, reports an 80 per cent increase in boxingclass reservations since January, as well as a twofold increase in the number of boxing classes available on the site.

What’s behind the boom?

The supermodel fanfare doesn’t hurt (Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne are among a bevy of beauties to recently post ringside selfies), but it’s the killer workout

L A U N C H I N G 1 S T OCTOBER

But supermodels — and their everyday brethren — aren’t just coming for mental challenge.

“It keeps them long and lean,” says Olajide.

Another like-minded newcomer, Overthrow Boxing Club, is frequented by Sena Yang, 31, who heard about it from fashionindustry friends, and is hooked on twice-a-week classes.

“In other classes, it’s about you and the machine,” she says. “With boxing, you are the machine.”

SUMMER TRENDS

feelG O O D

FEEL GOOD STORIES AND IDEAS

CARMEN LINDSAY- WHITE SUMMER

F

or some people following trends can be exhausting and expensive and for some they live by it and they love it. I have always believed that you should try and look your best, it makes you feel good, and as fickle as it sounds it can change your mood and boost your confidence. Our clothes are our first impression to the world, so fashion is about expressing yourself, it’s about showing the world a little of who you are.

I am always interested in what the trends are and what is inspiring our designers to do what they do.

So as we step into spring and you start thinking about adding a few new items to your wardrobe, you may feel overwhelmed by all the trends and what suits you. Here are a few of the top looks for our summer season ahead.

The cold shoulder and off the shoulder tops and dresses are still going strong and we have so many of these coming into the store over the next few weeks.

The ruffle oversized sleeve in soft fabrics are also adding an interesting silhouette to tops and dresses.

The classic shirt dress is still one of my favourites and Amanda Laird Cherry has done her version of this in her latest summer range…it’s called the Lerato dress and will be in our store soon and will definitely add some summer chic to your look.

Skirts are big this summer, especially the pleated skirt. This can be worn with a simple t shirt and sneakers. If you really want to be a trend follower then make it a slogan t shirt!

Stripes are huge from thin banker stripes to the more fun seaside looking stripe, they make a statement and I love them. There are also still lots of floral prints this summer as well as the tie dye indigo prints in light flowy fabrics. Bon Bon has lots of this tie dye look in their new summer range, in store soon.

As for colour, yellow, the perfect summer colour, is coming through in so many tones to suit lots of different skin types.

Shades of pink from soft blush pink to a bright fuchsia pink.

Also rose gold and all the metallic shades. This is already a very strong trend in sneakers and jewellery.

One more trend to look out for is embroidery detail you will find on shoes, bags and clothes. Josephine has already launched the first of her gypsy style tops with embroidery details and there is more to come.

When I first opened White Summer I always wanted to have a space where women of all sizes and ages could feel comfortable, welcome, enjoy their shopping experience and find something that would suit them.

I do believe that as women we have to learn to celebrate our own unique body shapes, and we can help do that by offering clothing that makes that easy to achieve.

Shopping should be fun!

We are very lucky to work with emerging and established designers who are proudly South African and who are all very unique in their approach to their designs and ranges. We stock Josephine, Chewy, Buka Mina, Gilda B. who are all local Durban based designers.

They understand our climate and way of life and all have a different hand writing, which offers you the consumer some choices.

Amanda Laird Cherry is an established designer label born and made in Durban, South Africa, told through cloth & thread.

The garments are ready-to-wear, designed and styled for a conscious individual. The label creates designer essentials with an element of eccentricity, which extend to become more refined and avantgarde pieces. She launched her summer range at the end of August and already some of her pieces are in store now.

Tashas Closet is an exclusive ladies-wear brand, her company signature message is to have clothes individually crafted with peace, love & palm trees in mind. Proudly South African from concept to finish, casual and relaxed and so easy to wear. She is currently debuting in Oxford Fashion Studios London Fashion Week featuring her new collection.

Jo Champ who is an established and a well-loved label with very loyal customers that love that she caters for all sizes, from size 30 to 46. She is constantly designing and developing and we get new stock from her weekly.

We also have Good clothing, a Cape Town based label. Simple but on-trend styles. Good consistently offers women of all ages clothes that are easy-to-wear and flattering. Fabrication and quality is of the highest consideration. There new summer range will be in store soon.

So to sum it up, Take note when someone compliments you on a colour you are wearing, remember it next time you go shopping.

Make sure your outfit fits you properly, I find that always effects how you carry yourself and effects your posture.

Find a designer or a range where the cut and style work for you.

Lastly smile it makes you look even more beautiful. A smile is always in fashion!

Follow us on Facebook - White Summer @ whitesummerfashion where we showcase all our new stock.

nce upon a time, YouTube was simply the place you went to watch a cat play the keyboard, or something equally inane. In the 12 years since YouTube was created, it's become a place for everything—a hub for gamers, live streamers, music videos, vloggers, and so much more.

But YouTube has grown up. Now, whether you watch videos on the website or the app on your phone, you'll find a YouTube that looks a lot cleaner, a lot simpler, and a lot more focused. In both cases, YouTube seems to have taken stock of how video works now and built a service around it.

Take the mobile app. The new version trades all those red borders for clean white lines, making thumbnails and videos the only things you'll notice in the app. You can speed up or slow down a video—previously a desktop-only feature—and

double-tap on the screen to rewind or fast forward. If you watch a vertical video, YouTube will finally show it properly.

No letterboxes, no bars, just a phone-filling vertical video.

On desktop, the new design updates the look more than it changes the experience. Instead of the white boxes on grey backgrounds, you choose between a clean white display or a new dark, cinematic theme, each with new, simplified typography. The whole page breathes a little better than before, and the new look hues to Google's Material Design guidelines.

YouTube says the new products are built on a new framework that enables the team to build new stuff even faster. Given that everything about video changes constantly, they'll need to. People are recording, streaming, watching, commenting, and searching in new ways. YouTube can only be the biggest thing in online video as long as it can keep up.

It was with this in mind that I enthusiastically snapped up an invitation to attend an exclusive food and wine event at the Fairmont Zimbali Lodge and Resort on Thursday 14th September.

Fairmont Zimbali had decided to show off the culinary capabilities of their new Executive Chef Tony Kocke Mo Therese & Mike Charles with a bespoke 4-course set-menu (designed by the internationally experienced chef himself) paired with an exquisitely curated wine list from the lauded Moreson wine estate in Franschoek.

Around a sumptuously set banquet table in the Choral Tree restaurant, we joined an eclectic mix of patrons in the surprisingly Chef Tony Kocke intimate setting. We rubbed shoulders in the shimmering candlelight as Mo Therese – the raconteur and sommelier for the evening – introduced us to a bevy of beautiful bottles and told us their secrets while Chef Tony’s transcendent menu brought fluorescent flavour and sublime substance to an already juicy evening. The perfect pair indeed!

I was thrilled to hear that this is now scheduled to be a regular monthly event… If you fancy the idea of being wowed by wine and superb cuisine whilst mingling with interesting people in a gorgeous setting, I strongly suggest you reserve your spot at the next evening - call 032 538 5000 or email zim.dining@fairmont.com and tell them you heard it from me.

MOTORING

THE HONDA URBAN EV – COMING SOON

H

ONDA has been credited with delivering an unlikely star of the Frankfurt Motor Show, with its 1970s and 1980s-inspired Urban EV city car.

Following similar announcements by Volvo and Jaguar, Honda said that every car it sells in Europe from 2025 will have an electric or hybrid option in the range.

And one of those cars will be this charming little offering that has been revealed at the 2017 Frankfurt show to widespread plaudits.

It's called the Urban EV and will be going into production in 2019, the Japanese car maker confirmed.

For now, the Urban EV and is only a concept. However, there will be a

PEUGEOT 208 CONNECTED ENERGY

PEUGEOT 2008 SUV WITH GRIP CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

production version on sale sooner than many of the other electric concepts showcased at the same event. A production version of this car will be ready in 2019.

Of all the cars launched at the major European automotive event, this is one of the standout vehicles, receiving praise for its adorable looks and retro styling cues.

Inside, the cabin has a minimalist layout with all the functionality held in an interactive screen spanning across the entirety of the dashboard.

The whole of the cabin is finished in natural fabrics and wood panels while the steering wheel is an abstract square shape without spokes.

There's enough seats for four people and the pair of rear-hinged doors make it easier for back-seat occupants to enter and exit the diminutive city vehicle.
