DURBAN NORTH TO BALLITO

T

HE final concert in the Mariott Ballito Beats series for 2017 was held at Sugar Rush Park on Sunday. One could almost say that this was the day that summer finally arrived with a vengeance on the Dolphin Coast…the sun blazed down as concert goers settled in for an afternoon of music and good company.

The cool breeze that at times lifted hats and sent them flying, proved to be a mixed blessing because it mitigated the effects of the sun - the sun is not your friend under these circumstances!

But sunburn aside, this was another excellent concert featuring some of South Africa’s finest artistes.

Sebastian Goldswain was first on the bill. He has got to be one of the

most exciting guitarists in the country.

A jazz graduate of UKZN, Seb has mastered the intricacies of hybrid fingerstyle guitar picking and on Sunday he gave a blistering performance of both original tunes and brilliantly reworked mainstream classics that included medleys of songs by the Beatles and Miriam Makeba.

Next up was Arno Carstens who gave an impassioned performance that included two new Afrikaans numbers much to the delight of his Afrikaans speaking fans. He is an excellent performer who easily commands the stage with presence and authority although he may have overdone the energy drinks on the day…well, let’s just say he may not have been entirely focussed on the event at hand.

Ard Matthews gave one of the best performances I have seen from him.

He is looking really good and sounding

fabulous and if you were there, you will no doubt agree that he was in a class of his own on Sunday.

I really hope that the series continues next year.

On a somewhat more sobering note, I was interested to see the Life & Style team arriving for work today. Independently, all of us in the production and sales office had dressed in black in solidarity with the national outcry against violent crime that is tearing at the fabric of South African society. Farm murder statistics are particularly frightening and I am concerned that unless the situation is urgently addressed and decisive action implemented at government level, the situation could erupt into something very ugly indeed.

Religious leaders like Angus Buchan have been on social media calling on South Africans, particularly those in farming communities to exercise restraint but I rather fear that things might have gone too far. There is a great deal of anger in many sectors of our community fuelled by unacceptable levels of crime, violence and maladministration that has allowed this situation to escalate. Here’s hoping for a miracle…

On a more upbeat note, my faith in humanity is restored when I meet people who fill the world with love and who make a difference. Last week I met Aurelie de Unienville one of a group of young people in Ballito who, in their own way, do just this. Read about her in this edition and be happy.

HEN a tenant is in breach of his lease agreement, the most important question on a landlords mind is, “What legal steps must one take to evict the

Evicting tenants are not pleasant and should be avoided at all cost. The old saying that prevention is better than cure holds true when deciding to let out your property.

Eviction in South Africa, whether for a residential or commercial lease, must be legally compliant. It is imperative to have a thorough knowledge of the correct procedures to be followed in specific circumstances.

How to Evict a Residential Tenant For an eviction to be lawful, the correct process needs to be followed.

No, it does not include changing of locks or disconnecting electricity/water to the property!

If the eviction is handled incorrectly it will delay the process and be more costly in the end.The eviction process begins when a Tenant has seriously breached the lease agreement. This is the sequence that must be followed:

PIE act) 6. Issuing of Notices The court issues the Notices 14 days before the court hearing to the Tenant and the municipality that has jurisdiction in the area.

The Sheriff of the court will be sent to the tenant to serve the Court papers on the relevant parties.

The Edge - S t y l i s h C o m p a c t L i v i n g

5

COASTAL LIVING in the Greater Ballito Region generally comes at a premium unaffordable to most younger settlers. As a result, there is a significant missing link in the local economy. That’s why the developers of The Edge are on to something that is going to significantly change the way people look at property.

What they have designed is an exciting cluster of contemporary loft-living apartments with space-saving designs and lightfilled verandas, set in a glorious, environmentally appealing landscape. The Edge is literally within sight of a Blue Flag beach, and close to good schools, hospitals, King Shaka International Airport and key commercial, retail and industrial hubs. The Edge is perfectly positioned for smooth, simple access to all of KZN’s burgeoning North Coast opportunities.

Life at The Edge is around Family, Fun, and Freedom, indoors and out. A safe, secure complex of stylish apartments – from microunits to three bedrooms – set in a naturally restored landscape which promotes healthy, active living, lively social interaction, and a balanced outdoor life for children. A stream meanders through The Edge Lifestyle Estate, with boardwalks, trails for running and walking, fishing facilities, birdwatching and benches for you to enjoy the peace and pleasure of the towering indigenous trees and landscaping.

At The Edge, families are foremost – from an extensive curated playground to a vast swimming pool, braai and picnic facilities to a laundromat, petrol station and car wash. Everything is designed to make life easier, simpler, better…to free you up to spend time doing what you prefer.

The Edge incorporates an onsite Flexi Office component too, with a communal reception area and compact work pods for hire – work from home options just got better! Apartments, too, are perfectly priced for investment purposes, whether Airbnb or longterm letting – The Edge has on-site management to facilitate it for you.

AURELIE A SHINING LIGHT IN A WORLD OF DARKNESS

LIFE & STYLE CONSUMER AFFAIRS GLENDA THOMPSON

H

i Everyone,

T

here is darkness in our world that obscures much of the worst excesses of greed, corruption, maladministration that cause huge suffering. But there are those among us that are determined to make a difference by shining a light into the darkness, to bring healing when it is most needed.

Darkness is an absence of light, so being a bringer of light is a way to improve a world where pain and hurt happen too often. Edmund Burke made the observation that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.

Aurelie Marrier d’Unienville is shining a light in the world and making a huge difference because she cares. Aurelie grew up in Blythedale on the Dolphin Coast and enjoyed the benefits of a good education and a comfortable coastal lifestyle. She initially set her sights on a corporate career in the banking sector, but after four years, she was driven by the desire to get out into the world and make the most of her passion for photography and humanitarian work.

Her professional photography career started in Sierra Leone in 2014 during the Ebola outbreak and since then she has covered stories across Africa, Asia and the Middle East including the conflict in Iraq.

Aurelie is now based in West Africa and travels internationally covering some of the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis for various international media outlets like the BBC, Al Jazeera, Le Monde, Newsweek and many more. She also does extensive coverage for organisations like OXFAM, the Red Cross, Christian Aid and Sightsavers.

With Christmas right on our doorstep, we are all trying desperately to cut costs wherever we can so we can have a bumper, rip roaring time. One cost that everyone is not happy about is the increase in electricity- will it ever stop? Hopefully Eskom have not taken Halloween too seriously and plunged us into darkness for a few days so we can experience the full joy of spookiness!

The point is, we all need to start thinking seriously about taking responsibility to find ways to cut down on electricity usage. One of the obvious ways of doing this is to switch off our appliances when they are not in use. To start saving we must start measuring consumption - because it’s difficult to save something we can’t measure.

You can actually save 20%-40% on your electricity bill if you measure consumption!

Here are a few more suggestions: •We’ve chatted about this before, but it’s worth repeating. If you’re building a new home, consider harnessing the sun’s energy by exploring the solar panel route. They convert solar radiation into direct current electricity and act as a primary source of electrical energy - powering lights, computers and all electrical equipment.

•If you don’t want to go the solar route, then explore the pay-as-you-go metering system instead of a standard meter. You simply buy coupons from your local supermarket and feed them into the meter as needed. The prepaid electricity meter is able to count the flow of electricity used in KWH. The meter balance decreases as you use electricity. Worth installing, especially if you have a family of teenagers and young adults – or a guest house or if you’re Airbnb ing your house. People need to see how much electricity they’re using.

•If you need to replace a light bulb ONLY go for energy efficient bulbs. The supermarket shelves are heaving with stock.

•If you’re purchasing a new appliance or anything that uses electricity, make sure that it ticks all the energy efficiency boxes. Look out for the rating on the appliance. A Triple “A” rating means that it is extremely energy efficient. Tumble driers are notorious energy gobblers, but you can get energy efficient driers, so go this route.

•Buy a bigger washing machine and do one or two washes a week.

•When it comes to cooking and baking – go the gas route.

From saving power, to dressing powerfully. Our style Guru, Daniyel Berry recently gave a talk on confidence boosting through what you wear at the RISE AND SHINE ladies breakfast at Fairmont – raising awareness and funding for Breast Cancer. Some interesting pointers from Dan: •Take some time to look through Pinterest and find a style that suits you and your shape.

•The best colours in the world – are the ones that suit you. Some of us go through life thinking we look amazing in beige, when in fact, we look like a sack of potatoes (my words, not Dan’s) Find the right colour scheme for YOU. Daniyel can help with this.

•Think out the box when shopping.

Find timeless pieces, and accessorise!

That is the buzz word! Finding great accessories to go with your downscaled wardrobe. Just change your accessories – not your outfits!

•The best project you’ll ever work on is YOU says Dan. Look good, and you’ll feel great!

Prior to that she was working on a Women's empowerment project for OXFAM in the Philippines.

GARDENING FOR PRIVACY PAM JACOB - DRIEFONTEIN GARDEN CENTRE

W

HEN a fully grown Bougainvillea gets blown out of the ground, you must know that the wind has been horrific. Never thought we would have to stake a plant that has been in the ground for the past few years but it was clearly in a wind tunnel. So what to do - Simply cut it back and replant, and remember to put in a strong stake.

A question that has come up a few times these past two weeks, is folk wanting to create privacy in small spaces – or even freestanding plots. The common idea is to grow a creeper on a fence. This does not necessarily work by virtue of the fact that the fence, unless it is extremely strong and of the metal variety, will possibly come tumbling down at some stage by the weight of the creeper. A far better option is to plant suitable shrubs to act as privacy. This has a twofold benefit. Firstly, the shrubs will enhance your garden visually; can be an ideal sauce of food for birds and increase the value of your property. Folk just don’t seem to have any idea of just how valuable a good garden is when it

comes to maintaining or trying to sell a property.

Should you want to plant a hedge in a narrow bed, you could use the Indigenous Freylinia shrubs which may grow to a good 1.5m to 2m with a naturally narrow growth habit. Of you could plant Portulacaria afra (Spekboom) with glossy green leaves, sometimes offset by a deep mahogany stem and suitable for putting into salads (if you like the taste, that is). Where space is unlimited, the list is endless. Try Hamelia patens which will produce flowers for a good 9 to 10 months of the year and attract all your nectar feeding birds and insects.

For leaf texture, the good old Acalypha wilkesiana which comes in varying shades from rich cream/ lime green and shades of pink to a deep chocolate brown. It would not be possible to list all the plants here that are suitable for this purpose but if you pop into the Nursery and if possible, have a photo of the area concerned to show us on your Cell phone, I can assure you of top class service and some interesting ideas.

Agapanthus are in bloom. Make sure you have a good selection in your garden to brighten your

borders for months to come – both the common type and the new hybrids which come in beautiful blended shades.

AND REMEMBER TO FEED YOUR GARDEN IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK FOR YOU!!!!

There is a super secluded venue set in a leafy hideaway on the edge of suburban Salt Rock that is well worth a visit. It’s called The Place – resurrected from elements of the old Vagabond Café on Claremont Farm, this is where Mish Sykes creates magic. It’s a creative hub where people come to paint and sketch and enjoy the company. It’s also a great venue for intimate functions, launches, parties and events.

They often arrange functions open to the public and its really worth checking it out.

YUSUF / CAT STEVENS RELEASES HIS NEW ALBUM

J

‘THE LAUGHING APPLE’ BEFORE TOURING SA

UST weeks ahead of his first ever concert tour to South Africa, Yusuf / Cat Stevens, one of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time, is releasing his highly anticipated new album, The Laughing Apple under his Cat-O-Log Records logo exclusively through Decca Records, the same label that launched his career 50 years ago. The album is available locally at Musica.

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of his first major hit single and debut album Matthew & Son released in 1967, the South African leg of The Peace Train Tour opens in Johannesburg with a sold out concert at the Ticketpro Dome on Wednesday, 8 November 2017, followed by a second concert on Thursday, 9 November 2017 and finishes on Wednesday 15 November 2017 at Durban’s ICC Arena. Tickets are available from Computicket. Both Cape Town concerts at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden on Saturday, 11 & Sunday, 12 November 2017 are sold out.

The Laughing Apple takes listeners to that little garden where the Tillerman sat under the tree, with a charming new illustration by Yusuf. That picture harks back to Tillerman’s younger days when he worked as an apple-picker. Yusuf also has illustrated each of the 11 songs on The Laughing Apple in his naive style, resembling a storybook — for those whose hearts have never really grown old.

When all things were tall, And our friends were small, And the world was new“ Those words of Cat Stevens’ Silent Sunlight now seem to reflect most accurately the sentiments of The Laughing Apple.

2017 is a milestone marking 50 years of Yusuf / Cat Stevens’ amazing musical history. In 1967, Decca released his debut album, Matthew and Son, on its Deram Records subsidiary.

2018 HONDA GOLD WING TOURING MOTORCYCLE REVEALED

T

HE 2018 edition of Honda's legendary top-comfort tourer brings the Gold Wing into the digital age with new functions that will particularly please iPhone users. Apple's CarPlay technology now comes as standard, as well as the SmartKey keyless ignition system and Bluetooth connectivity.

On the market since 1975, the Honda Gold Wing remains an icon of its genre all over the world. For this GL1800 Gold Wing 2018 edition, the Japanese manufacturer has trimmed down the bike, losing more than 48kg depending on the model. The contours have also been revisited for a more compact design.

Wentzel No.1 Anford Park Garlicke Road, Ballito

Tel: 032 - 946 0568 ballitocar@gmail.com

Rider comfort is synonymous with a slew of functions to improve the on-road experience. For example, the bike's windscreen can be electronically height-adjusted and tilted for better wind protection in adverse conditions.

A cruise control mode and a new throttle-by-wire system help keep the pace leisurely, especially when sticking to speed limits. The fly-by-wire throttle also brings four riding modes: Tour, Sport, Econ and Rain.

As for the engine, the Japanese brand has overhauled its six-cylinder powerhouse, making it lighter and

more compact while theoretically maintaining its characteristic power.

The engine is also placed further forward on the chassis, making more space for the rider. Seen on some of its other bikes, including the Forza scooter, Honda has added an "Idling Stop" system to the GL1800 Gold Wing 2018, cutting the engine when the bike stops for more than three seconds to help save fuel and protect the environment.

The somewhat voluminous Gold Wing also has Hill Start Assist (HSA), a function more frequently found in latest-generation cars, for a helping hand on inclines.

Plus, for maximum maneuverability, the 2018 edition has a "Walking Mode" to crawl the bike forward at a speed of 1.8 km/h and backward at a speed of 1.2 km/h, which is ideal for reverse parking, for example.

Available from April 2018, the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing 2018 comes in Standard and Tour versions.

Standard models (Gold Wing and Gold Wing DCT) include saddlebags whereas Tour models (Gold Wing Tour, Gold Wing Tour DCT, Gold Wing Tour DCT Airbag) comes with saddlebags and top case.

ARD & ARNO BRING IT ON HOME @ MARRIOTT BALLITO BEATS MIKE CHARLES

F

ollowing three successful, topclass music concerts that brought big name acts Mango Groove, Freshlyground, and The Parlotones to the Dolphin Coast, the Marriott Ballito Beats concert series wrapped up with a bang on Sunday the 29th of October when two of South Africa’s most celebrated frontmen shared the stage at the fourth and final concert for this year.

Having helmed The Springbok Nude Girls – one of the most revered SA rock groups of the 1990’s – Arno Carstens has carved out an impressive solo career with a reputation as a powerhouse vocalist and captivating songwriter. On this particular sunsoaked Sunday, he would be joined by a fellow veteran of the 90’s music scene…. After making it big with the band Just Jinjer, Ard Matthews has earned a name for himself as one of the most versatile and well-loved performers in the country, with an instantly recognizable back-catalogue of self-penned hits.

However, before either of these gentlemen could light things up, a young Durban guitarist was tasked with warming up the stage - and, boy, did he turn up the heat! Renowned local guitarist Seb Goldswain stepped out in front of the field alone and armed with nothing more than an acoustic guitar, but with preternatural

skill (and the occasional use of a loop pedal), he created the sound of a full band and blew the crowd away with the speed and finesse of his playing during his riveting hour-long set.

With the concert-goers now firmly settled on the grass at Sugar Rush Park, Arno took to the stage for a six song set, showcasing his raw musical power with a selection of stripped down tracks (including a few

Afrikaans numbers) and backed by the unusual combo of drums, keyboard and a trumpet. The crowd lapped it up, and once they were really rocking, Ard took the reins for six songs of his own - giving him a chance to show off the full colour, range and sensitivity of his vocal talents, while treating the crowd to some brand new material.
