DURBAN NORTH TO BALLITO

Editor Dave Charles 082 551 4768 editor@lifeandstyle.org.za

I

saw a great commercial on a social media platform recently.

It begins with a bang – a baby being born with such explosive force that it is catapulted out of the maternity ward window on a trajectory like a rocket. As it shoots through the sky across the countryside the little thing begins to grow and develop, passing through the stages from infant to child to teenager to young adult to adult to middle age to elderly and geriatric at which stage it comes down to earth with a crash into a grave in a cemetery. The payoff lines is “Life is Short…Play More”.

It’s an old advert for X Box and it caused enough controversy for it to be banned from television in the UK in 2002 when it was produced because the powers that be thought that the tableau suggested that life is a short and traumatic experience made more shocking by the final scene of a body smashing into its grave.

Well, I suppose there were people who were offended by it but it does make a point about the brevity of our journey here and that perhaps we should take more time to play. I am not suggesting that you should go out and buy an X Box, but I think it wouldn’t be remiss to take a moment or two to consider what it is that you would really like to do and then plan time to do just that.

I bought a motorcycle a while back which was probably not the most prudent investment I have made considering all of the negative publicity these things attract – and not without reason. Riding a motorcycle on South African roads is a hazardous affair.

Why would anyone willingly expose themselves to the horror of what could happen in the event of a collision with no protection? The human body is very fragile compared to steel and tarmac and there are enough examples of the tragic consequences of motorcycle accidents in the media to deter one from taking a chance on two wheels in the pursuit of pleasure.

And yet the thrill of riding a beautiful bike through the hills and valleys of this most lovely part of the country is very hard to describe to the non-rider. It’s an almost spiritual experience that transcends the daily grind and lifts you onto a higher plain where almost nothing can touch you… well, at least that’s how it feels and I am so grateful to have experienced it.

I am also not suggesting that you buy a motorcycle unless the idea really appeals to you, but I am suggesting that if you are putting off the things that you really want to try or experience because other people are influencing you in a different direction for whatever reason, it may be time to do a reality check.

Soon, way too soon, the desire, the opportunity or the possibility will have past and, while you may not yet have crashed down into your final resting place physically, you will have denied yourself the richness of experience that makes life worthwhile.

A ship in the harbour may appear to be safe, but it wasn’t designed or built to remain there. Of course there are dangers to face out at sea, and tales about pirates and shipwrecks abound, but ultimately “Who Dares, Wins”.

That’s a great motto used by many Special Forces around the world because it tells it like it is.

We were in a queue at the Avis car Hire depot at O. R. Tambo Airport on the weekend waiting to complete the paperwork to pick up a vehicle that we had booked. The depot was packed with people and the going was particularly slow. After about thirty five minutes we had almost reached the head of the queue when a huge Nigerian man pushed past everyone to the front claiming that he had gone to the toilet and that the person keeping his place was now at the counter. Everyone knew this to be a complete fabrication but despite our protestations, he did it with such aplomb and good humour that he succeeded in circumventing the queue…who dares, wins!

It’s just a thought for the festive season….

W

elcome to the beautiful and dynamic Dolphin Coast! We have prepared some tips to ensure your safety and maximum enjoyment while holidaying on our coastline. These lists are by no means exhaustive, but will hopefully give some insight into first aid measures that can be taken when the following issues arise:

Travellers’ Diarrhoea/Acute GE The vast majority of vomiting and diarrhoea infections are viral, meaning that no antibiotics are required. Most often the symptoms can be managed at home with rest and Oral Rehydration Solution (either Rehydrate sachets, or make your own – 1 litre clean water mixed with 6 teaspoons sugar and half a teaspoon of salt.). Ingest frequent small quantities/sips of fluid.

Some recommended over the counter medications include Probiotics, Buscopan for stomach cramps and Tasectan for diarrhoea. See a doctor if you are concerned you are becoming dehydrated, or if you have fever together with blood and mucous in the stool – this is frequently dysentery which requires antibiotic treatment.

Sunburn Prevention is key – avoid being outdoors in direct sunlight between the hours of 10am – 3pm. Wear protective clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen – apply it 30 minutes before going outside and reapply frequently, especially after a swim. - Home treatment of sunburn includes ice packs, aloe Vera gel and moisturizer. Drink plenty of water. Over the counter medication includes anti-inflammatories (e.g.: Ibuprofen) and analgesics (e.g.: Panado). - See a doctor if you are concerned about heatstroke – symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, dizziness and confusion.

Water Safety ‘Safety’ being the key word. Please always be hyper-alert when any child (or adult who is a weak swimmer) is around water; no child should be allowed to swim unattended by a responsible adult. - Please be particularly careful when swimming on the north coast beaches. There are many unpredictable large waves, currents and rips in the ocean, as well as sudden sand bank drop-offs.

Only swim in the zones designated by lifeguards, and avoid swimming at night, dusk or dawn as these are the times when sharks are most active. Never dive into shallow or murky water as this can cause neck injuries which result in paralysis - In cases of neardrowning, call for HELP (download the Dolphin Coast Emergency Call Services app in advance). Alert a lifeguard. Remove the patient from the water and place on a flat surface. If the patient has no pulse and no breathing then start CPR, beginning with chest compressions.

Blue Bottle and Sea Urchin Stings Hot water immersion of the area affected by the sting is most effective – hold in 43 – 45 degree water for around 30 minutes in order to denature the venom (no benefit has been found with urine, ammonia, vinegar, ethanol and a host of other ‘old wives tale’ remedies) - If there is a foreign body visible, this can be removed. However, sea urchin spines are notoriously difficult to remove manually – they generally make their way to the surface within a few days. Apply Traxa ointment three times daily. - Tetanus vaccine is indicated for open wounds, and antibiotics for penetrating wounds is also a consideration.

We trust that your stay on the North Coast will be filled with great weather, delicious food, exciting adventures and that many happy memories will be made during this festive season.

Keep safe and be healthy!

ZIMBALI THE STORY CONTINUES IFA Hotels & Resorts celebrates the next chapter in the Zimbali legacy

K

UWAIT’S IFA HOTELS & RESORTS (IFA) has again shown its ongoing commitment to South Africa by officially unveiling the much-anticipated Zimbali Lakes Resort, at an exclusive event hosted on 21 November 2017.

The 300-hectare development, which will provide in excess of 2700 residential opportunities, will be developed by IFA over the coming decade. This resort will consist of five main nodes that between them will provide multi-generational, mixed-use offerings to suit the specific needs of a broad range of investors; catering for both commercial and residential needs, including a 750-unit retirement lifestyle Village.

“Zimbali has already set the benchmark for estate living internationally, and Zimbali Lakes Resort will undoubtedly deliver on the same success. In line with the brands ethos to live in harmony with nature, a significant differentiator for Zimbali Lakes Resort is the magnificent lake and all the unique activities that it will offer to residents,” explains Phil De Sylva, IFA Senior Vice President Operations.

Key to the success of this pet-friendly resort will be the provision of a wide array of amenities, including a new 18-hole championship design golf

course, sporting facilities and routes to accommodate mountain bikers, runners, or those retirees just looking for a stroll. The signature feature from which the resort gets its name is the 30-hectare lake that is to be created adjacent to the uTongati River, providing recreational water sport opportunities and significantly enhancing views from surrounding real estate.

Investor confidence into the region remains high, with accelerated development taking place in Umhlanga, Sibaya and Ballito, as evidenced by the construction cranes visible within these locations, the recent opening of the Ballito Junction Shopping Mall and the extensive refurbishments being undertaken to the Ballito Lifestyle Centre.

TO VAPE OR NOT TO VAPE –

THAT IS THE QUESTION…

S

ANDRE VAN BILJON

O you, or someone you know is thinking about making the switch from smoking traditional cigarettes to vaping, and you’re looking for answers. It took me forever to figure out what I needed in an e cig set up, so I wasted a ton of money trying out different things and misunderstanding the crazy amount of information out there (sue me, I’m not a rocket scientist – I’m just a normal person who wanted to quit smoking). You might be wondering what the heck vaping is, if it’s safe, what kind of investment it’ll take, if it really works, or how to get started.

The internet is a huge (and weird) place, so it can be a real chore finding accurate answers to your questions. But now, you can rejoice – for this is the Promised Land in your quest to find the truth about e cigs! All of us here at Durban Vape Festival want to help answer ALL of your questions. With access to local and international vendors,

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU’VE

OVERDONE IT STEPHANIE WILLS - LIFESTYLE HEALTH

Between end of year functions, last minute work deadlines, getting your kids through exams, or getting yourself through prize giving evenings, it’s a tough time of year to stay away from cheat meals (or drinks). It’s certainly that time of year when we tend to overdo things…

So here are 9 natural remedies to help your body recover

1. Ginger: When it comes to dyspepsia relief, ginger is my favourite! It is an effective digestive aid as well as a natural remedy for nausea - perfect for when you feel bloated, constipated and/or have other gastrointestinal disorders. It relaxes the smooth muscle in your gut lining and helps food move along throughout the system.

Eating whole fresh ginger, drinking fresh ginger juice and taking ginger supplements are all highly effective.

2. Aloe: This gorgeous succulent is beneficial in several ways. Aloe vera gel used externally gently soothes sunburn and helps with a range of other skin irritation issues.

Taken internally, aloe supports liver function and is a natural constipation relief remedy.

Another aloe vera benefit is its ability to help with digestion. It is also anti-inflammatory, normalizes acid/alkaline and pH balance, lessens yeast formation, encourages digestive bacteria and regularizes bowel processing.

3. Activated charcoal: Charcoal relieves digestive issues such as gas or bloating and helps your body detoxify. It can be a serious help if you get food poisoning, drink too much, suffer toxic overload, or even take too many over-the-counter remedies. On those rare occasions when you do imbibe more than you wish, or have a mild food sensitivity, activated charcoal can be a lifesaver. To get its benefits, take activated charcoal about an hour after the problem originates, before the ingested substance can do any damage.

4. Probiotics: Whatever you overate likely did a number on your bacterial profile. A recent study, in fact, shows it only takes a few days to effect substantial change (about the same duration as most festive season vaycays). While our guts are amazingly adaptable, a holiday binge might not be doing it any favours. Help replenish your healthy gut environment with a good probiotic supplement and plenty of fermented foods such as kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha.

5. Digestive enzymes: Especially if you ate something that you don’t tolerate well, try a good quality digestive enzyme supplement.

Digestive enzymes help break down protein, fibre, fat and carbs to help decrease distension of the stomach, reducing that bloated, stuffed feeling and easing digestion.

The enzymes should be acid-resistant, so

they work in the stomach itself, not in the small intestine.

6. Magnesium is an important mineral that gets depleted by alcohol, stress and processed foods high in sodium and sugar… like during the festive season! It helps ease constipation, and relaxes you, as well as calms an upset digestive system.

7. Milk thistle is probably my most favourite herb, providing protective and regenerative effects on the liver. This is one worth considering if you know that you'll be indulging in one-too-many G&T’s this summer, as it may assist in buffering any alcohol-induced liver damage. Milk thistle is also an antioxidant that reduces inflammation of the liver.

8. Vitamin B Complex: Drinking alcohol depletes your body of B Vitamins.

Vitamin B3 is particularly important as it is required for the function of ADH and ALDH - two enzymes that are vital for detoxifying alcohol. Taking a multivitamin that includes B Vitamins on a daily basis is a great place to start. On days that you know you'll be consuming alcohol, give your body a helping hand by taking an extra vitamin B complex with your lunch.

9. Vitamin C: One of the things that alcohol does to the body is strip it of certain nutrients; namely, water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C. Have you ever noticed that you crave orange juice after waking with a hangover? That’s your body telling you to get some vitamin C inside yourself. A good vitamin C supplement will help replenish depleted stores and help get rid of the sluggish feeling that often accompanies a hangover.

Final Point Of course have fun, but perhaps for this summer try to also be mindful of your body.

Don’t just throw out all your good lifestyle habits, learn to be adaptable in every situation and truly optimise your health even during the festive season.

ake-up artist Vlada Haggerty is known for her incredible liquid lip-art concoctions. Clicking on her Instagram account may very well result in hours spent scrolling through her signature pouts, many of which feature gravitydefying drips of lip gloss.

which she consults on all of the brand's lip-related innovations.

In one of her first public appearances on the job, Vlada teamed up with jewelry designer Zoe Chicco to achieve, what we can only imagine, is the world's most expensive lip-art look in history.

Vlada adhered more than 80 diamonds (about 6.5 carats) to a model's lips over the course of an hour to create the living art piece. In total, the diamonds were worth about R360 000.

H

I EVERYONE,

Ballito and the greater North Coast is definitely the place to shop this Festive Season! The levels of service, both retail and the hospitality industry have really gone up several notches, thanks to the competitive nature of business and the fact that we just seem to have the nicest people living here! The number of complaints about service related problems that I’ve received from consumers lately has dropped right down, and instead, I have just had good positive feedback, on both the new and the old establishments in town, too many to name, but I would just like to give a massive pat on the back and shout out and thank everyone and wish all our service providers and retailers happy, successful trading over this happy period.

The level of crime always escalates at this time of year, so just remember to keep a close look over your shoulder at all times. Some interesting stats from the crime prevention unit: Fifty percent of hijackings take place in residential driveways and parking lots and within a 5 km radius of a victims homes and 80 percent of vehicle theft occurs at shopping centres and at social events – over weekends and public holidays. The remote control lock jam devices are still very much in use. Avoid stopping on the highway. Take the next off ramp to stop in a more public place.

Make sure you have your roadside assistance and

GLENDA THOMPSON

emergency numbers close at hand on your cell phone so that you are well prepared for any eventuality. It’s also a good idea, especially at this time of year, to join a personal safety group, like Mobi Claw 911 for instance. They are tactical rapid reaction coordinators, and if you’re in a sticky situation, it’s just a matter of pressing the panic button on the app to get an immediate response.

Download their app – the cost is minimal and it could save your life.

Bank fraud is also bad at this time of year – actually on the increase everywhere it seems. If a client is deemed to have acted negligently when it comes to a fraudulent case, the bank will not take responsibility.

In fact last year, only 22% cases of internet fraud in South Africa ruled in favour of the customer.

It’s no wonder that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have created such a hype. Bitcoin has literally soared in value and it has just been launched on the CBOE futures exchange in Chicago. This is Bitcoins debut in the futures market (futures are typically based on the price of a real commodity, like oil). I have had personal experience with Bitcoin and have found its meteoric rise pretty thrilling – and profitable. Currency of the future? According to the guys in the know, like Branson and Gates, definitely. Locally, there are several very knowledgeable people who can give good advice on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency in general. Contact me on

10

gjthomo@gmail.com and I will point you in the right direction.

Remember that if you have any complicated queries – especially those bordering on the legal side – go straight to the Consumer Council – KZN Consumer Complaints Hotline number: 0800 333 667 which is a free service to the public. OR go to the SMALL CLAIMS COURT in Stanger. This is particularly with regards to money that needs to be claimed back – if it is a small amount.

Contact them on 032 551 1201. The only payment involved is the fee payable to the Sheriff – depending on how far he has to travel to serve.

SIBAYA COASTAL PRECINCT CONSERVATION TRUST ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE NATURAL ASSETS

W

the Sibaya Precinct Master Management Association.

HILE development of the much anticipated Sibaya Coastal Precinct steams ahead, Tongaat Hulett is implementing plans to ensure the area’s intrinsic natural heritage is protected and preserved for posterity.

Under the custodianship of the Sibaya Coastal Precinct Conservation Trust, the Precinct’s significant environmental resources will be rehabilitated, maintained, protected and preserved as part of the holistic development.

Situated on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast, Sibaya Coastal Precinct encompasses 1 000 hectares of beach, forest, river and hilltop landscape. Up to 60 percent of the area will remain coastal dune forest, while open spaces and areas currently under sugar cane will be rehabilitated.

Much of the Hawaan forest and a series of smaller, inter-connected dune forests form a 308 hectare band that falls within the Precinct’s borders. “This forest is a vital regional asset and will be maintained, protected and preserved along with the beaches, marine conservancies, wetlands and other rehabilitated open spaces by the Trust which has officially been registered,” says Tongaat Hulett Developments Executive, Dayalan Chetty.

Under the expert penmanship of Dr Richard Kinvig, a Conservation Management Plan has been compiled and will be implemented in line with the development’s activities. Dr Kinvig is a well-respected Ecologist who specialises in Botany, Ecology, Environmental Science, Zoology and

Entomology. Having been involved in over 200 projects within the environmental field, Kinvig offers expert insight and considerable experience in terms of environmental management and is an important and valued member of the Board of Trustees.

The trustees include six representatives in total, four of whom are from Tongaat Hulett and two members from

The trust will be a selfsustaining entity funded by existing and new investors or developers within the Sibaya Coastal Precinct. A levy has been implemented as well

as a stabilisation fund to ensure the Conservation Trust’s longevity and sustainability in fulfilling its mandate of rehabilitating, protecting, maintaining and preserving the development’s natural assets in an ecologically sustainable manner. It will also be critical to ensure the Trust’s objectives remain in line with the terms of the Conservation Management Plan and it fulfils all obligations imposed upon it in the environmental authorisation.

Chetty says, “The Trust will serve a critical role in ensuring that ongoing commercial activity on the site takes place in an environmentally sensitive, responsible and sustainable manner.”

As stipulated in the Record of Decision, the forest that has been protected and therefore inaccessible to the public until now, will be activated through carefully considered mechanisms. In doing so, for the very first time residents of the Precinct and greater Durban as well as tourists will be able to visit and enjoy a unique environmental experience.

“The Sibaya Coastal Precinct Conservation Trust will ensure that there are no compromises on our promise to provide an engaging yet responsible and sustainable solution in making the forest accessible. On completion, the Precinct will be a beacon for urban and environmental integration that encourages mutual respect so that the different elements can exist in harmony with each other,” concludes Chetty.

SIMBITHI EXECUTIVE CHEF INDUCTED

INTO THE CHAÎNE DES RÔTISSEURS

S

R75

IMBITHI COUNTRY CLUB and Fig Tree Restaurant is proud to congratulate Executive Chef, Daryn Bowers on his induction into the elite Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. Chef Bowers was inducted at a ceremony, and gala dinner at Southern Sun, The Cullinan Hotel in Cape Town on Sunday, November 26.

The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs was established in France in 1248, and was first represented in Africa in the early 1980’s. As joining the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is by invitation only, it is an exceptional honour for Executive Chef Bowers and the Simbithi Country Club.

Having headed up the kitchen at the Country Club for just over a year, Executive Chef Bowers’ confidence, charisma and warmth gave endeared him not only to his band of chefs and

mentoring those around me and I take a lot of inspiration from my team.”

Joining the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is a fulfilment of a long-held dream of Executive Chef Bowers. “When I first started out, the Executive Chef who trained me had his Chaîne des Rôtisseurs plaque, certificates and regalia mounted in his office. That was the first time I was introduced to the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. I knew then – as I know, now – it is something incredibly special, and a distinct honour, for any chef asked to join.” His hard work has certainly paid off, as he now gets to hang his own certificates and Chaîne des Rôtisseurs regalia, in his office.

The Fig Tree, and Drop Zone bar, will also soon display bronze plaques from Paris bearing the iconic Chaîne des Rôtisseurs badge. For Executive Chef

waitrons, but to residents of Simbithi Eco-Estate, golfers and regular guests at The Fig Tree and Drop Zone Bar. His passion for food, eye for detail, unique sense of flavour profiles and impeccable plating skills have earned him acclaim and respect in the culinary arena. “There’s no greater feeling than being able to express oneself on a plate, constantly learning and developing new skills and techniques. A passion of mine is to be table-side, interacting with guests as they sample different dishes,” Executive Chef Bowers says.

“For me, cooking is an art form. I aim to inspire my kitchen brigade to create dishes that look fantastic, and taste brilliant. Much of my time goes into

Bowers, this is a proud moment. “It is an unbelievable achievement for me, as it is something I have worked towards.

To share it with the amazing team at the Country Club just makes it that much better.”

Simbithi Eco-Estate and Simbithi Country Club General Manager Malcolm Samuel congratulated Executive Chef Bowers on behalf of residents, and guests. “We are extremely proud to have a chef of Daryn’s calibre at Simbithi Country Club. We are certain this achievement will only add to the remarkable dining experience at our eateries, and extend our sincerest congratulations to our Executive Chef.”

SUMMER PARK UMHLANGA – RECORD SALES

R60 MILLION SOLD IN 42 SECONDS FOR FIRST RESIDENTIAL ONLINE SALES LAUNCH

CUSTOMER NOTICE

Dear Customer,

S

“Having received over 1500 registrations for Summer Park Umhlanga within the first week, and fitting with the new-age product offering, the online sales launch allowed the sales process to be seamless, effortless, convenient and quick. This approach performed phenomenally, not only showing the online approach was a success, but it is also testament to the demand Umhlanga Ridge Town Centre is experiencing, the desirable price point for Summer Park Umhlanga and the need for more modern residential developments in this node,” continues Botha.

ummer Park Umhlanga officially launched on Saturday, 25 November, with a whopping R60 million sold in 42 seconds from the commencement of launch. Summer Park Umhlanga took a modern approach and conducted South Africa’s first-ever residential online sales launch; making the purchasing process faster and more convenient than ever before.

“Having conducted many sale launches, we decided to up-the-ante from our traditional queuing processes, to manage the first residential online sales launch in South Africa. In terms of its offering and pricing, Summer Park Umhlanga was the perfect product to initiate this new approach with, and we have never experienced the rush we had on launch day. This meant that, for the first time ever, those interested in purchasing within Summer Park Umhlanga were able to do so from the comfort of their own homes, by simply clicking a button,” shares Stefan Botha, Director of Rainmaker Marketing.

Positioned from R950 000, this contemporary development offers new-age studio, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments within the prestigious Parkside area of Umhlanga Ridge Town Centre. Within this pet-friendly, family-focused development every single unit is accessed through their own private courtyards and enjoys a spacious balcony. Residents can relax at the heated pool or get active in the fully-equipped gym, while kids can have hours of fun in the designated play area.

Summer Park Umhlanga will have a crèche facility as well, giving working parents within the development first opportunity to take advantage of this convenient facility. ! koo

THE ART OF PERFORMANCE

PEUGEOT 208 CONNECTED ENERGY

PEUGEOT 2008 SUV WITH GRIP CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

It's a British hypercar that's been named after the late Brazilian three-time Formula One champion Ayrton Senna - the brand's most iconic driver - with some of the proceeds of its R13 660 000.00 price tag being donated to his charity to support underprivileged children in his home nation.

Just 500 will be made (and all have already been sold) and - as the extreme bodywork suggests - it has been created for the super-rich to tear-up race tracks in their spare time.

However, despite all aggressive wings and wind-tunnel sculpted bodywork, it's a car you can still legally drive to the supermarket on a Sunday morning.

The body, which is made entirely from lightweight carbon-fibre has been moulded into a 'teardrop' shape for the most aerodynamic performance.

As with the other Ultimate Series car in the current range, it gets McLaren's own designed dihedral doors, though this time with an additional feature.

Move to the back of the car and you'll find no less than three exhaust outlets sandwiched between a bench-sized carbon rear wing and a gigantic double diffuser that work in unison to keep your three-quarters of a million pound car planted into the road surface.

Inside, the Senna is as stripped down as you can get, with some very unique placements for key functions.

For instance, the door handles, electric-window switches and engine start button can't be found in the centre console - all have been relocated to a panel in the roof, freeing up the dashboard for a single panel with temperature controls and a portrait-mounted infotainment screen.

Production of the 500 cars won't commence until the third quarter of next year, with each one being hand-built at the state-of-the-art facility in Woking, Surrey where a lot of the design work has been conducted using the brand's in-house road-car simulator.

Some of the proceeds from sales will be donated to the Instituto Ayrton Senna charity.
