ELISMA ROETS, 29, MANAGING EDITOR The best way to make the most of a super-sunny day is? Get up. Get dressed. Get out of the house. Lounging inside is a sure way of missing out. Roughly how many litres of coffee have you consumed in your lifetime? Let’s see: 500ml per day, three litres per week. 1 068 litres per year. That’s 14 952 litres since I started drinking coffee at the age of 15. Mind = Blown! What’s the one thing you’re too scared to type in or research on Google? Natural birth. Anal relapse. Animal abuse. In that order.
SUPA MANGENA, 32, BARISTA What’s the one thing about your best friend that nobody knows? He makes the best coffee! The best way to make the most of a super-sunny day is? Put some shorts on and go outside! Roughly how many litres of coffee have you consumed in your lifetime? I actually don’t drink a lot of coffee! I would say about 60 litres? Have you ever had a summer holiday romance? Yes I have! And if you saw them again today, what would you say to them? I won’t say too much – I am actually still with her!
LUCIO LUPACCHINI, 26, STYLIST Roughly how many litres of coffee have you consumed in your lifetime? Probably billions! The best way to make the most of a super-sunny day is? Dress up in black and spend the day indoors with air-conditioning. Have you ever had a summer holiday romance? Yes I have. And if you saw them again today, what would you say to them? Hey ex! What’s your favourite holiday movie? True Romance because it’s just perfect. What is the one thing you are afraid to research on Google? Spiders!
ATHI MTONGANA, 22, NEWS REPORTER Roughly how many litres of coffee have you consumed in your lifetime? Millions; I am a coffee addict! The best way to make the most of a super-sunny day is? I don’t like going outside when it is extremely hot, but I do enjoy spending a sunny day at the beach. What’s the worst present you’ve ever received for Christmas? I guess I’m lucky. I have only received nice things so far. What’s the one thing about your best friend that nobody knows? She loves saving money and not spending money.
SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER. IT’S TIME TO GET OUTSIDE, GET DOWN AND GET LUCKY... chats and snaps: jani greef MEGAN BROWN, 39, MARKETING EXECUTIVE Roughly how many litres of coffee have you consumed in your lifetime? Probably enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The best way to make the most of a super-sunny day is? Spend it on the beach. Have you ever had a summer holiday romance? Yes. And if you saw them again today, what would you say to them? Hello, sailor! What’s your favourite holiday movie? I don’t really watch movies when it’s sunny outside, but I love Notting Hill. thirty-eight
MARIUS VOSLOO, 26, DIGITAL SALES Roughly how many litres of coffee have you consumed in your lifetime? 17 billion litres. The best way to make the most of a super-sunny day is? A walk on the promenade with my dog and wife. Have you ever had a summer holiday romance? Yes. And if you saw them again today, what would you say to them? Sorry, for I am now a married man. All of these romances ended rather awkwardly the next day. What’s the worst present you’ve ever received for Christmas? A vanity case from my sister.
