DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Nick Gaertner

DIRECTOR & CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER, KNIGHT FRANK SOUTH AFRICA

A Monthly Update from Knight Frank Residential South Africa

ith a winning formula in mind – before we dive into The Wealth Report 2022 and inspiring features on admirable women – I wanted to share some of the key factors that form part of Knight Frank’s blueprint for success.

The People | Knight Frank strives to employ people who are forward-thinking, driven and able to problem-solve on their feet. Stellar client service and the lasting impressions our employees leave on people are imperative to our business and success – individuals who are able to really connect with clients and uphold the good name of our business. The Culture | We are constantly working to build a strong team culture within our individual offices and across the business. While we work in a professional environment, we do our best to create a workspace that makes all our people feel part of the team and Knight Frank family. There is a very open and free flow of communication between all staff, agents and management. It is important to us that each individual feels comfortable, happy and motivated. The Service | While Knight Frank South Africa is well known for its residential service offering, we are delighted to have recently partnered with Rennie Property (now Rennie Knight Frank) on the commercial side of our property offering. Rennie Knight Frank has a wealth of experience in the commercial space, specifically in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Being able to offer a more rounded and complete service to our clients places us in a stronger position. The Network | We are fortunate to be part of an incredible business network. Knight Frank operates across 51 territories around the world, affording us unrivalled reach. Being the largest privately-owned real estate agency in the world – and the most prominent agency throughout Europe – our global network is able to reach an audience that provides our clients with a huge gateway when it comes to showcasing their properties and connecting potential buyers and sellers within our database. Listings | While the general perception of Knight Frank is that it services only the upper end of the market and deals predominately with luxury homes, it is certainly not the case in South Africa. While some global offices do tend to deal with prime properties only, the residential and commercial businesses in South Africa deal with properties across the spectrum. Like all countries, the South African market is unique and limiting our service offering to only luxury properties would limit our potential as a business. Irrespective of the value of the home, each of our listings are treated with exactly the same care and attention. Every one of our properties for sale is photographed by professional photographers and showcased across our local and international channels on various platforms including property portals, social media, digital magazines and direct mail. It is a hugely competitive market and ensuring our listings have the best possible visuals and first impressions gives our clients the best possible chance of generating interest in their properties and homes. Reports | Our reports are globally accepted, widely referenced and used as benchmarks. Not only do they feature a wealth of valuable and fascinating data, but they are also used to gauge attitudes and behavioural trends.

With that being said, I hope you thoroughly enjoy this edition.

The global perspective on prime property & investment 16th edition — 2022 08

THE WEALTH REPORT - 2022

The Wealth Report 2022 The global perspective on prime property and investment Cut Through the Noise The Wealth Report’s six chapters take you on a unique journey through our index results, expert insights, thought-provoking interviews, future views and data that help shed light on some of the key issues affecting how you live, work, invest and give back.

The PIRI 100 Now in its 15th year, the Knight Frank Prime International Residential Index (PIRI 100) tracks movements in luxury prices across the world’s top residential markets. The index, compiled using data from our research teams around the world, covers major financial centres, gateway cities and second-home hotspots – both coastal and rural – as well as leading luxury ski resorts.

What’s Driving Demand? • Low interest rates and the availability of cheap finance • A shortage of prime stock • Rising wages and accrued savings in lockdowns • Strong equity market performance and record bonuses • A reassessment of housing needs and lifestyles • More flexible working patterns • Wealth creation – 5 million new millionaires in 2021 globally • The appeal of property as an inflation hedge

The value of the Knight Frank PIRI 100 increased by 8.4% in 2021, up from just under 2% in 2020 and its highest annual increase since the index was launched in 2008. Of the 100 luxury residential markets tracked, only seven saw prices decline in 2021 while a staggering 35% of locations saw them increase by 10% or more, underlining the strength of the sellers’ market during the pandemic.

PASSIONS

Luxury Investments The report also reveals the results of the unique Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index, while the experts who share their data with us offer their thoughts on a selection of the asset classes covered. Collectable watches and fine wine led the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index (KFLII) to its strongest annual performance since 2018. With average growth of 16%, the two asset classes reflected a strong year for luxury investments that saw KFLII, which tracks the value of 10 luxury collectables, rise by 9%. Other high performers in the index included art (+13%), rare whisky (+9%) and coins (+9%).

Wine

by Miles Davis, Wine Owners

How did your market perform in 2021? The broader market performed well, rising around 1% per month on average. Champagne (+31%) and Burgundy (+25%) performed particularly well. Champagne from the amazing 2008 vintage stood out thanks to huge consumer and investment demand and some supply chain concerns. Bordeaux (+10%) lagged slightly.

supply shortages due to weather conditions, particularly frost, and supply chain issues. What sales really stood out? There have been all sorts of new records set, particularly for rare Burgundy. On the flip side, there have also been issues at the auction houses with fake trophy wines, particularly in the US.

Who was buying?

What trends will we see in 2022?

Asia particularly for trophy Burgundy names and the UK and US for Champagne. There has been a new wave of investment money coming into the wine market, some of it led by macro factors, such as inflation worries – with wine being seen as a hedge – but also more localised factors such as

Inflation and supply chain concerns will continue to fuel demand. People are drinking more expensive wine at home due to Covid restrictions. Australia’s Penfolds is the first (and so far only, I think) producer to make an NFT announcement; no doubt more will come.

Phillips, the premier auction house for watches, nearly doubled the previous total for their autumnal Geneva sale. With an auction total of Sfr24 million, the November sale was packed with 400 enthusiasts and a further 2,300 online. Among the 12 lots to break the Sfr1 million mark was a 64-year-old Omega Speedmaster, nicknamed the Tropical Broad Arrow. One of the original timepieces designed to compete in the emerging market for ‘tool’ watches, this rare example eclipsed all previous records at just over Sfr3 million.

For big auction houses like Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips, luxury categories such as watches were once seen as a gateway to their main business of selling art. Last year proved that this was no longer the case as total sales of watches topped £420 million at auction worldwide. The figure – an increase of 54% on the previous year – also proves that public sales are back with a vengeance since the lifting of many pandemic restrictions.

Gardening with Fatima Great Inspirations

GARDENING WITH FATIMA

In the spirit of International Women’s Day, we touched base with Fatima Behardien to find out where she draws her inspiration from.

’m frequently asked, ‘But what inspires you? Where do you get your inspiration?’ That should be an easy question to answer, but it isn’t. Inspiration is fluid and as complex as gardens themselves and my own particular style has evolved and changed over the years.

Gardens have history and in their histories are the geniuses who created them. There is Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, who, in the 1700s, landscaped Blenheim Palace, Stowe and Chatsworth with vast gardens that mimicked nature so successfully that they were often mistaken for the natural countryside. Gertrude Jekyll who, because of her art training and poor eyesight, created long flower borders that were inspired by painters such as Turner and the Impressionists with swathes of colour and form that transcended seasons and looked like works of art. Or Vita Sackville West, who, in spite of her bohemian lifestyle chose to compartmentalise her garden into a series of well-contained and themed rooms.

And then, in 2006, I was introduced to the garden of Nicole de Vesian. Le Jardin de la Louve (the She-wolf), on the mountain terraces of Bonnieux in Provence. It was a revelation. The idea of gently shaping and forming a garden from low-lying vegetation and aromatic, resinous herbs such as rosemary, sage, bay and thyme in an area so harsh – where the soil is poor, the wind howls and the sun dries the earth. And if you have ever driven along the Cape coastline and smelt the turkey berry or the plectranthus (devil’s claw) and marvelled at the way the southeaster has shaped the vegetation you will understand what an amazing manifestation it was – a garden so in tune with nature and yet so brilliantly conceived and designed, using plants that could survive and even thrive in such conditions. Here was a garden that so amazingly copied everything that I was seeing around me here in the Cape. For me it was an eureka moment. Instead of fighting nature, it was possible to create a garden so serene, so elegant and so practical and yet so unique.

When I started my career in landscape gardening and design in the early 90s, my inspirations were these English gardens – of Rosemary Varey, Vita Sackville West, Jekyll, Christopher Lloyd and David Hicks. Garden rooms, topiary, white gardens, pleached lime walks, box hedges… Then I fell in love with French gardens, characterised by strong symmetry, balance, order and clean lines – all of which have translated into a distinctive contemporary style.

Standing Out Magazine | MARCH 2022

La Camargue La Camargue, a local garden, provided us with a canvas to implement some of these principles from great historic designers. Here, inspiration is very much about place. Just as Nicole de Vesian was inspired by the rocky, mountain terraces of Provence, so too have I been deeply inspired by our own mountainsides and the vegetation endemic to the Cape. This strong feeling of association, even of belonging, is perhaps no more poignantly felt than in a garden set high on the mountain overlooking one of the most beautiful bays in all the world, Hout Bay. Sometimes it is vital to pause, to sit back and let things happen – to be inspired by a wind-blown tree, to lead a rock path through lines of lavender, to place plants that grow comfortably together, to lift the trees and underplant with things that love the shade and to let trees frame the view. At La Camargue, we gently shape not only to soften the form of the natural growth patterns, but also to enhance the spaces between plants. We let nature lead. For example, a Buddleja saligna (false olive) felled by strong winds was neatly cut and then topiared to shape. In the beginning, the house sat rather isolated at the top of the sloping site. However, in the eight years since we started the garden, the balance has been restored and the house has been slowly enveloped and absorbed into its surroundings.

GARDENING WITH FATIMA

The true beauty of the site, which to some might seem an inconvenience, is its steep slope. It allowed us to design a flight of stone steps that lead from the top terrace down into the garden itself. Here a mix of both indigenous and exotic shrubs and trees shelter the magical almost natural areas of the garden. The slope enabled us to develop a dense canopy of trees, but at the same time allowed us to keep the azure view of the bay and Chapman’s Peak in the distance.

From a swathe of velvet lawn, as immaculate as a strip of its fabric namesake, two stately Laurus nobilis (bay trees) frame the view of the bay and act as sentinels at the top of this wide flight of steps that descend into the garden – drawing you in as if by some sensory magnetism. The descent into the garden throws up one delight after the next – a mini vineyard of hanepoot grapes, olives, pomegranates, figs, blood oranges, lemons and Tahitian

Standing Out Magazine | MARCH 2022

limes all dripping with seasonal fruit; a boules court; a firepit with rustic seating; a potager; and a stone rill that meanders down from the side of the house, visible every now and then through the foliage. The changing shades of green and grey of the Olea Africana (African olive), Plumbago auriculata (plumbago), vivid dark greens from the Laurus nobilis (bay trees), lighter Cupressus sempervirens ‘Stricta (Italian cypress), amongst many others, creating a spellbound display of synchronised colours. These hues throughout the garden, wild or trimmed to luscious balls and hedges, all create a feeling of balance, quiet tranquillity and connection. Adding a sense of drama are the red roses, the navy blue of the agapanthus and the vibrant reds, greens, yellows and oranges of the clivia collection exchanged through generations. Behind the house, a natural swimming pool is sheltered with a thickly planted rocky bank

GARDENING WITH FATIMA

and a wide terrace provides a sunny place to relax to the sound of water splashing into the pool through the vegetation. In a culture where everything is manipulated and structured to the needs of human beings, allowing the environment to dictate the way things should be and should evolve brings great pleasure. The owner of this wonderful property prefers that plants are allowed to grow and establish themselves at will and we, as landscape gardeners, gently nudge that growth with artful pruning.

Catching Up with Successful Sales Partners

Karin Van Niekerk and Shahad Jaffar

Which area in Cape Town is your favourite and why?

great sense of serenity and a connection to nature which I find invaluable.

Karin: I love Constantia – the tree-lined avenues, space to breathe and vineyards on my doorstep appeal to my farmgirl background. Constantia offers exceptional value in terms of real estate with large properties, ideal for raising kids. It has virtually everything you could need on a daily basis, but it also offers a

Shahad: I Love Constantia for its greenbelt, fairly levelled running trails as well its elevated hills when I feel like hiking. It’s my favourite area to work within for its huge properties that give you a feeling of freedom with what it has to offer when it comes to space, views and light. Constantia

land as well as its lifestyle is the gift that keeps giving, you can never get bored of that. On the other hand, I love the Atlantic Seaboard for my daily activities as well. The smell of the ocean while walking or running is in a league of its own. Both areas are beautiful in their own way.

CATCHING UP WITH SUCCESSFUL SALES PARTNERS

How do you start your day? Karin: A cup of rooibos with some raw honey, a chat to plan the day with my husband and then a bit of exercise whether it be a quick home workout or a walk around the Groot Constantia vineyards with my neighbours and our dogs. Shahad: A good cup of coffee and a run is what kick-starts my mornings. It clears my mind to embrace what my day has to offer.

What motivates you at work?

Shahad: I joined Knight Frank in June 2019 and am currently working in sales with my partner Karin in Constantia Upper.

What is one thing that has really surprised you about the real estate business? Karin: How much effort goes into everything! It looks so easy from the outside but there are a lot of boxes to tick along the way.

Karin: Getting it right. I can be a tad obsessive about doing things right so I can get a little lost in the details but when it comes together and it works it’s all worth it.

Shahad: The unpredictability of people and their reactions to properties. It’s not always that easy to tell what a prospective buyer is going to do. In most cases, just when you think someone isn’t interested, they often make an offer.

Shahad: Enquiries and doing viewings. I like being busy and on the go from one appointment to another. Making a sale is definitely one way to get me motivated.

How do you ensure you remain relevant or how do you make your mark in the workplace?

Why did you join Knight Frank and what does your current role entail? Karin: A chance meeting with the Sales Manager for Knight Frank who offered me the opportunity to become an agent. I thought it would be interesting and challenging. Being an agent has so many different aspects to it – connecting with potential clients, the admin behind listing and marketing a property, negotiating a sale, continued support after the deal is concluded, training, keeping up with market trends, etc. It’s never boring! Our main focus remains on people though – as long as we can make sure everyone’s happy, we’re on the right track.

Karin: You can only stay relevant if you keep in touch with people and continuously aim to improve your service. Out of sight out of mind, so effective follow-ups, good listings and smooth transactions all contribute. Shahad: We always try to give the best service possible – an unforgettable sales experience from the day we value the property and list it, to keeping in touch with the seller and finally concluding a sale. Working as a team, we want to give our clients the diamond deal, so they feel at ease and trust us. Often this results in plenty of referrals and great testimonials. Despite the digital age we live in, people do still value personal interaction.

In what ways do you invest in your personal development? Karin: Reading, training and continual focus on how to improve what we do. Shahad: Reading and keeping up to date with the latest trends in the real estate business as well as maintaining balance between physical and mental health.

What is the best advice you were ever given? Karin: Finish everything you start to the best of your ability. There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes with seeing things through to their final conclusion and knowing you’ve done your best. Shahad: My mother always says, ‘You are never too old to start anything.’

With regards to International Women’s Day 2022 Campaign theme, #BreakTheBias, is there something you could do to make a difference? Karin: Focusing on doing my job right and changing the often negative perceptions of women in real estate, one person at a time. We can’t tackle the whole world, but we can work on making our circle of influence bigger and better. Shahad: Focusing on doing the right things and encouraging other women to do the same.

Bantry Bay Home to Coveted Addresses on the Slopes of Lion’s Head

antry bay is a small and secluded suburb tucked between Sea Point and Clifton on the slopes of Lion’s Head. This affluent area was previously called Botany Bay, after a botanical garden where medicinal herbs were cultivated. Its new name came about in the 1910s. Part of Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, it overlooks a mesmerising rocky coastline that attracted the attention of Charles Darwin. In fact, a plaque on the seashore commemorates his visit during which he made important geological observations with regards to the nature and origin of granite. Considering it boasts approximately 290 wind-free days per year, Bantry Bay makes for a relaxing spot and one that particularly attracts high-end buyers.

he 44th edition of the Cape Town Cycle Tour is scheduled to take place on 13 March 2022. Prior to that, on 8 March 2022, the world will be celebrating International Women’s Day. With that in mind we wanted to hero a very inspirational woman in sport, namely Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, aged 36 – a South African professional female road bicycle racer. Ashleigh is a professional cyclist with Team SD Worx (the number one in the world in women’s cycling) as well as an Olympian,

Commonwealth Games Medallist, podium finisher at The Giro Rosa, La Course and multiple South African National Champion.

Sue Bond Interiors A Recipe for Interior Success

Celebrating Your Kitchen For me, the recipe for interior success all starts in the Kitchen – and rightfully so. Before we focus on the kitchen however, let us look at how the right elements make for a happy, harmonious space. The environments we live in have the ability to influence our mindsets and behaviours. Elements that add to a happy, healthy space and ultimately well-being include: Colour: Bright, light colours or soft pastel shades can have an uplifting effect on your mood. Flora: Be sure to make space for nature in your home with potted plants, cuttings, flowers and even herbs. Fragrances: Pleasant scents – associated with uplifting one’s mood, increasing focus, reducing stress and enhancing memory – can greatly shape and enhance your experience of a home. Lighting: Think ample natural light during the day (possibly enhanced by mirrors or other reflective objects), lamps for a more relaxed ambience in certain rooms and a dark room for a good night’s rest. Decor: There is a difference between clutter and maximalist decor. The former refers to displaying pieces that have no connection to one another and doing so in a way that does not tell one cohesive story. The latter

entails creating interesting and clever environments with personality. Music: The right music can facilitate focus, relax the mind, energise the body, promote well-being and improve sleep. Fortunately, all of the above elements can be harnessed to enhance a kitchen.

Investing in a Home and Kitchen In a study conducted by the University of North Carolina, researcher Kim Manturuk found that the sense of control that people gain when they own their own home contributes to their positive mental health. After all, with homeownership comes a certain depth of community, security, privacy and stability (especially if you have a family), as well as an unrestricted opportunity to create your dream house. People have always been drawn to and fascinated by owning property and the right investment can be very advantageous if it is an option or interest of yours. A kitchen can make or break a sale of a house and so an amazing one adds tremendous value to a property. Studies and trends aside, it comes down to how a house is going to enhance your and your family’s lifestyle. It needs to be enriching in the ways you intend, be that as a private haven you can escape to, a base

for your children to return to regularly or a place to entertain friends. A kitchen is integral to all these functions.

A Recipe for Interior Success in the Kitchen I believe the kitchen, expansive or modest, is the heart of the home and typically where we spend most of our time. That is why it is worth adding as much aesthetic and functional value as possible – which applies to my own spaces as well as clients’ projects. So, do not be afraid to showcase as many of your favourite things in a clever, tasteful manner – art, books, ceramics, crockery, flowers, photographs, plants and wallpaper. That way you will get the greatest return on investment in terms of personal enjoyment every day. Whether you own a property or not would likely dictate the extent of the changes you are willing to make, but either way it is about investing in your quality of life and savouring every moment you spend at home as much as possible. Of course, if you plan on renovating your home, there is even more to consider… So: Where to start?

Standing Out Magazine | MARCH 2022

The Entertaining Kitchen Pictured left is an inviting patio kitchen perfect for entertaining. The room became the socialising hub of the downstairs area in the respective house with friends and family naturally gravitating towards the counter. It is also a great example of how you can bring in unconventional kitchen lighting such as hanging lights (from Weylandts) or even a chandelier. The custom-made wallpaper is from multi-award winning Robin Sprong Wallpaper – South Africa’s leading bespoke wallpaper and surface design company. Featured chairs are from The Private House Company, an African-based interior design firm run by Yvonne O’Brien. The flooring – from BESTWOOD – encourages a barefoot-in-the-kitchen lifestyle. Last but not least, in the black metal cabinet, beautiful objects are not only displayed but available for use.

The Oven and Often-overlooked Back Wall If it is an option, I always start with optimal oven placement and work backwards from there to the left, right and centre. Shown right is a small yet pleasingly symmetrical square above the stovetop. This is an often-overlooked but not insignificant wall and one you can easily add interest to. The intricate tiles used are from tile house Cape Town.

SUE BOND INTERIORS

An Ode to Teatime In any home we occupy at the time, there is always a tea station, ready for serving loved ones and guests. This simple yet impactful touch is not only functional but instantly makes a home more social and welcoming. I also apply this practice to my professional projects. The set shown in the image is from Babylonstoren.

Display Your Collections Open shelving in the kitchen gives you the chance to showcase pieces that would otherwise be confined to a cupboard. It is also a nudge to reach out and enjoy your special pieces. Plus, you can refresh your entire kitchen by playing with the display every now and then. The white ceramics are special and vintage pieces collected over the years. The beautiful king protea wallpaper behind was painted by hand, a custom piece produced by African Sketchbook that merges art with fabric. The hanging lights were sourced from Weylandts.

Flaunt Your Flooring This very accessible kitchen is the hero in this home. While utterly functional it is still cosy and a flowy thoroughfare to the family room and other areas. A layered look is achieved with the help of sentimental collected pieces and the unexpected lighting is intriguing. Then there are the tiles. Why waste your best flooring in the rooms you use less often? Featured are marble checkerboard tiles from WOMAG.

Charming Cottage

The Hub of the Home Another fine example of a kitchen that is literally the hub of the home and a practical one at that. This one leads on to everything – the garden, pool, TV lounge and scullery. It is completely open with beautiful views of the canals in Knysna. There is an abundance of white, always affording the option to add wallpaper or style it up with the colours of your choice. Different textures and natural fibres such as cane add to the look (complemented by the Earthcote underfoot) and the signature tea tray makes an appearance.

This cosy cottage kitchen is adorned with a quality wallcovering from GP & J Baker, collected ceramics on open shelves and masses of cuttings from the garden – elements that bring this little nook to life, making it an interesting part of the cottage.

Natural and Light Starting out as a fresh white canvas, this kitchen features natural basketware, strategically distributed greenery and fabulous kitchen stools (with upcycled seats) crafted by Design Wise in Knysna – renowned for creating a wide range of solid-wood furniture made with flair and attention to detail. Framing the table are cane dining chairs from Pezula Interiors.

SUE BOND INTERIORS

Effortless Entertaining Here an Abé Opperman oil painting hangs in the kitchen, a fabulous example of living with art.

to bring the outdoors inside, both working with a monochromatic base that works with blue, white and green embellishments.

Overall, the kitchen has a very organic feel with an attractive warmness emanating from the metallic cookware.

The room opens up on to the kitchen courtyard where tile patterns are repeated

In a nutshell: Easy access, easy entertaining and easy decorating.

I hope this has inspired you to celebrate your kitchen with an interior recipe that works for you!

Enchanted Kitchen Below, a batterie with soft lighting and copper pots dances above the island, with luminescent results. The solid oak counter is topped with green marble and the room is dressed in fresh produce and plants, the majority of which come from the garden.

South Africa Fame in the Film Industry

Since the 94th Academy Awards will be taking place on 28 March 2022, we decided to take a look at some of the South African films that have deservedly enjoyed the spotlight in the recent past.

SOUTH AFRICA | FAME IN THE FILM INDUSTRY

BARAKAT Barakat – released in local cinemas in May 2021 – is a multi-award winning Muslim feature film shot in Afrikaans. It was also South Africa’s official selection for Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards (OSCARS) in 2022 – making Amy Jephta the fourth female director to be submitted to the OSCARS by South Africa and the first woman of colour. An Arabic word meaning blessings, Barakat is a story about celebrating life, culture and the importance of family – with whom one can overcome anything in life. Directed by Amy Jephta and produced by Ephraim Gordon, Barakat has rounded up the following awards at international festivals: The Reel Sisters of The Diaspora Festival – Brooklyn, New York Best Narrative Feature Motion Pictures International Film Fest 2020 – Salt Lake City, Utah Best Narrative Feature Best Editing Best Production Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema – Idyllwild, California Mary Austin Award Excellence in Directing Best Ensemble Cast Best International Feature Best Supporting Actor Runner Up, Best Original Score Amy wrote Barakat with Ephraim who cofounded production companies PaperJet Films and Nagvlug Films with her.

CAST • Vinette Ebrahim as Aisha Davids • Joey Rasdien as Zunaid • Mortimer Williams as Zaid • Quanita Adams as Ra-eesah • Keeno Lee Hector as Yaseen • Danny Ross as Nur • June van Merch as Fadielah While this infinitely human story was not nominated for an OSCAR at the end, it remains a layered and intimate film that holds Cape Muslim culture up to the light.

MOFFIE

• Hilton Pelser as Sergeant Brand • Wynand Ferreira as Niels Snyman • Hendrick Nieuwoudt as Roos • Nicholas van Jaarsveldt as Robert Fields NOMINATIONS & AWARDS The film was nominated for 14 awards in multiple categories and Director Oliver Hermanus secured two of them, namely: Dublin Film Critics Special Jury Prize – Dublin International Film Festival 2020 The Mermaid Award – Thessaloniki International Film Festival 2019

Moffie, directed by Oliver Hermanus, is a film based on the first book of South African novelist, André Carl van der Merwe. Autobiographical in nature, it was inspired by diaries André kept as a teenager and during his compulsory National service.

It received a six-minute-long standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival and was ranked amongst the best of 2021 films by Hollywood Reporter.

A powerful film set amidst Apartheid South Africa, it follows a young man who has been recruited to the army during the war on the Angolan border. But he is hiding the secret of his sexuality which could get him killed.

Turning Heads & Standing the Test of Time Remarkable Watches & Their Makers Images courtesy of www. charlesgreig.co.za

he latest edition of The Wealth Report revealed that in 2021 the total sales of watches topped £420 million at auction worldwide. The figure – an increase of 54% on the previous year – also proves that public sales are back with a vengeance since the lifting of many pandemic restrictions. Among the 12 lots to break the Sfr1 million mark was a 64-year-old Omega Speedmaster, nicknamed the Tropical Broad Arrow.

TURNING HEADS & STANDING THE TEST OF TIME

LOCAL Charles Greig Jewellers A family without roots will leave little of consequence; in contrast, five generations of the Greig family have not only branched out, but withstood the storms of history as the firm has grown and prospered. The Charles Greig family has an impressive legacy. Charles Greig, an émigré clockmaker, opened his doors in Market Street, Johannesburg in 1899. From these humble beginnings, the firm that he began at a pivotal moment in South Africa’s history has gone on to have considerable history of its own. As a renowned fifthgeneration family business, Charles Greig Jewellers continues to design, create and source jewellery of distinction and to supply fine timepieces. The firm is steered by three Greig brothers: Christopher, Richard and Donald. With Donald’s daughter Tamsin having recently joined the firm, they believe their future is as bright as their traditions are rich.

INTERNATIONAL Rolex Hans Wilsdorf was firmly convinced of a person’s ability to innovate and strive for excellence. More than 100 years after the creation of the brand, the founder’s philosophy is more present than ever, from the manufacturing of the company’s watches to its commitments worldwide. Rolex’s story began when founder Hans Wilsdorf created the first waterproof wristwatch – the Oyster – and developed into a range of timepieces that have become

icons of watchmaking. Rolex watches have been and continue to be worn on the wrists of pioneers, artists, athletes and visionaries and journey to the very highest summits and the deepest part of the oceans. Wearing a Rolex watch enables entry into a world of unlimited possibilities. Richard Mille | A racing machine on the wrist The first watch to carry Richard Mille’s name, the RM 001 Tourbillon, launched the millennium and marked the beginning of a new era in watchmaking. ‘For a long time, I wished to launch my own brand. I wanted to create a new business model, far removed from traditional marketing strategies, something totally original. My goal was to create a new, ultrahigh-end luxury segment within the highend watch business, and I was very eager to know what could come of it.’ – Richard Mille For Richard Mille, this was not an impulsive decision quickly taken. It was the direct fruition of decades of experience gained by guiding diverse wristwatch and elite jewellery brands in the creation, management and development of a myriad of high-profile projects. This deep fascination for technology, his expertise and personal passion for racing cars, combined with his extreme sensitivity to design and ergonomics, meant that no watch in existence at the time could ever really meet his expectations. He was planning to develop one product: the watch of his dreams, an approach that involved operating with little regard for production costs, which were excessive. When released in 2001, this extraordinary

timepiece with its ergonomic tonneau case design punctuated with distinctive torque screws and a compelling six-digit price tag, immediately placed the fledgling brand at the highest summit of the entire luxury watch market. RENOWNED BRANDS Other top watch brands around the world, listed in alphabetical order, include Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Breguet, Breitling, Bremond, Bulgari, Cartier, Chopard, F.P.Journe, Frédérique Constant, Harry Winston, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lange & Sohne, Longines, MeisterSinger, Montblanc, Omega, Panerai, Patek Philippe, Piaget, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Verdure and Zenith.

The Berg Manor SOUTH AFRICA’S MOST ANTICIPATED BOUTIQUE RETREAT

An unmissable investment opportunity.

THE BERG MANOR

The Idea

An Essential ESCAPE Close your eyes and imagine a place of pristine beauty. Beneath a sky of radiant blue, you see an enclave of calm, surrounded by trees rustling in a gentle breeze. Mountain peaks line the horizon. Not far away, where two oceans meet, waves break on a beach of powder white sand. Welcome to The Berg Manor. More than simply a new place to stay, it is also a home. Here, in your own private hideaway, find all the respite you need from modern life, without forgoing its comforts. At the tip of South Africa’s captivating Western Cape, it is a place to replenish the soul. A WORLD apart... with a world city on your DOORSTEP Deceptively close to Cape Town, The Berg Manor lies in the leafy upper reaches of Hout Bay, a sought-after seaside neighbourhood flanked by an amphitheatre of mountains. A winding, tree-lined road leads down to a sweep of blue flag sand, beside a small working harbour. Across the bay, spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive clings to the cliffs that tumble to the sea. It is a ravishing setting. And yet, behind the peaks of the Twelve Apostles, the Mother City lies – just twenty minutes away.

Standing Out Magazine | MARCH 2022

AMENITIES The Hotel is a curated blend of understated design with warm, earthy hues and sensory pleasures. The Pool is set in a beautiful garden. Beneath a sun-dappled pergola, outdoor sofas invite al fresco evenings sipping locally-made wine and perhaps, woodfired pizza made to order. The Manor Spa beckons just beyond the pool area. Using only natural ingredients, treatments here are all the more restorative with uninterrupted views of the mountains.

THE OPPORTUNITY The Berg Manor is more than a boutique hotel as it allows homeowners to buy and fully own their residence as part of the hotel’s estate. There are four private villas and a tree cottage for sale which are secluded from the main manor. Buying at The Berg Manor is more than simply a property investment. It is an opportunity to shape an entirely new lifestyle. Time here is an investment that gives generous returns – on every level. You will enjoy the luxury of superlative design and feel a comforting sense of belonging in an alternative, more restorative version of home. Benefits of Owning a Holiday Home at The Berg Manor • As a residence owner, you will benefit from a gross annual rental yield which would accrue for the time that you will not be using your villa/cottage and of course capital appreciation. • Your home will be fully equipped and furnished with the same specification

and colour scheme of the main hotel building. Each residence will be fully kitted out – from fixtures, electronics, furniture and furnishings, appliances, cutlery, crockery and more. • The hotel management will be responsible for maintaining and absorbing all costs with regards to maintenance, insurance and utilities, along with all other overheads for each residence on The Berg Manor Estate, when a residence is not occupied by the residence owners.

• The estate has a 24-hour patrol service and selective restriction where access is controlled via state-of-the-art electronic systems to deliver sophisticated security. • There is a generous 15% discount for residence owners on Food, Soft Beverages & Spa treatments at the hotel. The boutique hotel is anticipated to open towards the end of 2022.

Women & Wine in South Africa

WOMEN & WINE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Introducing Phenomenal Women & Wonderful Wineries

pier could not have said it better: Contemporary South African winemaking celebrates the normalisation of women in high-profile winemaking roles. Thanks to female pioneers who led the way for others to follow, numerous female winemakers hold significant positions at major estates and labels, where they rake in awards and recognition. Female winemakers – who were once a novelty in a male-dominated industry – now gain acclaim on the merits of their wine. Spier’s organic winemaker is, as you may have already guessed, a woman named Tania Kleintjes.

Women Winemakers Tania Kleintjes The growing list of women winemakers in South Africa include: • Tania Kleintjes from Spier • Jamie Williams from Nederburg • Ronell Wild from Bartinney Wines • Stephanie Wiid of Thistle and Weed • Charla Haasbroek from Sijnn Wines • Nadia Langenegger from Waterkloof • Jocelyn Hogan Wilson of Hogan Wines • Laurie Cooper from Abingdon Wine Estate • Andrea Mullineux of Mullineux Family Wines • Jessica Saurwein, Founder of Saurwein Wines • Carmen Stevens, Founder of Carmen Stevens Wines • Vivian Kleynhan, Founder of Seven

Sisters Vineyards • Nongcebo Langa, Assistant Winemaker at Delheim Farm • Ntsiki Biyela, Founder of Aslina Wines (Learn More Below) • Margaux Nel from The Fledge & Co and Boplaas Family Vineyards • Nondumiso Pikashe, Owner and Managing Director of Ses’Fikile Wines

Today Aslina is renowned for its range of premium wines and is the realisation of Ntsiki’s dream to create an exceptional, world-class brand.

About Women in Wine The first for South Africa, a black-owned wine-producing company controlled and managed entirely by women.

Wineries Owned by Women Here are a few woman-owned wineries. • Bayede! • Imvula Wine • Seven Sisters • Thandi Wines • Adama Wines • House of BNG • M’Hudi Wines • Lithathi Wines • Ses’Fikile Wines • House of Mandela • Women in Wine (Learn More Below)

About Ntsiki Biyela and Aslina Wines In 2004, Ntsiki Biyela became South Africa’s first black female winemaker, working at Stellekaya. Five years later she was named woman winemaker of the year and 12 years later she started her own winer. As one of South Africa’s iconic winemakers, Ntsiki Biyela has forged a path to become a highly respected and widely admired name in the world of wine. In 2016, she established Aslina Wines, inspired by the strength and determination of the biggest influence in her life – her grandmother.

Women in Wine was established and founded in 2006 by a group of twenty women, all with backgrounds in the wine industry who had a common dream – giving women, especially farm workers and their families, a share in the industry. They only source wine from farms that comply with socioeconomic legislation (with specific reference to ethical and environmental practices, employment conditions, skills development and training) and address aspects of black economic empowerment. The Women in Wine label produces six wines: a Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz, Pinotage Rose and a Chardonnay Chenin Blanc. Their success has made a great impact on the overseas market. The wines are exported to the US, China, Ireland, Spain, Sweden and Denmark and are available locally in Makro stores nationwide as well as online. Women in Wine were nominated in the category Ethical Business Award by the prestigious international magazine, The Drinks, in the UK.

HERE TO STAY Gin is Going… Nowhere

Images courtesy of www. ginologist.co.za

growing number of South African gins have been making a name for themselves in the last decade, several shining bright on the global gin stage. Ginologist, in particular, is one to watch.

‘The creativity of expression in South African Gins continues to pleasantly surprise us. The judging panel looked

Art in Cape Town & South Africa Featuring Artist Marieke Prinsloo-Rowe Represented by Gallop Hill Gallery Indigenous: from Here

‘Inspiration is a faithful friend, but she seems to call only when I am already working – whether it be with or without hope. Then she tiptoes in quietly, takes the mundane and makes it meaningful.’ 90

ART IN CAPE TOWN & SOUTH AFRICA

Marie in Flight

ABOUT MARIEKE PRINSLOO-ROWE Qualifications: BAHons Fine Art (University of Pretoria) and MA in Fine Arts (University of the Witwatersrand). Marieke’s work continues to explore the human figure, considering the way in which sculpture mimics the threedimensionality of a human presence and thus the powerful dialogue it invites – human to human look-alike.

The instinctive recognition that figurative sculpture elicits from its ‘real’ living viewer, has brought about innumerable interpretations – from ancient to modern art making. As such it has generated a deep, communal reservoir of expression, one to which each new piece adds in depth and complexity.

preserving the present and hoping in the future.

Marieke’s sculptures seek to make the layered experience of everyday life more understandable, more meaningful – setting in place sculpted bodies as carriers of stories and dreams, of honouring the past,

‘One would think that each sculpture has the same demand and requirements and asks the same of her Maker, but it is simply not like that. I have to grow to make each one.’

As the sculptures flit through these static moments they set them in stone and hallow them from profane to sacred, turning the viewing of each into a rite of passage. And so their story becomes an invitation.

Standing Out Magazine | MARCH 2022

Recognition In 1997, Marieke was awarded the Sasol New Signatures Judges award by William Kentridge. In 1999, she was the winner of the PPC Young Concrete Sculptor Award with her installation, ‘Inconcrete in Concrete’. In 1999, a collection of 10 life-sized sculptures ‘I Have Called You By Name’ was acquired by the National Johannesburg Art Museum (JAG) for their permanent collection. In 2010 to 2012, she presented ‘Walking the Road’ public art installation on the Sea Point Promenade in Cape Town. The fable-like story was enacted over 2 kilometres by eighteen sculptures of a ten-year-old little Swimmer Girl who yearns to fly like the Dragonfly she meets. And she does! In the symbolic oral tradition so intrinsic to African history preservation, ‘Walking the Road’ represented the young South African Democracy in its quest for liberation – to fly – in the pursuit of equality. In 2014, she was awarded a national tender to create the first HIV and AIDS Children’s Memorial Sculpture. The monumental work comprised the gestural sculpting of six children living with the disease within her direct community. She closely collaborated with them on imaging their struggles and dreams and transferred these as designs unto thirty sculpted doves. The doves have been attached to the children in such a way that they seem to fly between them. The sculptures stand on plinths of varying heights into which a delicate water system runs – a constant reminder of hope and growth. The monument is on permanent display on the Miriam Makeba Terrace at UNISA campus.

was unveiled in 2017. It is another narrative installation telling the story of a little boy who sits sculpting a small, bright violet ox in clay. He sets out his game of a full team of seven pairs of trekking oxen in a mimic of the frontier pioneers, shared by both Afrikaans and Xhosa cultures. The oxen increase in size with each pair, moving through indigo, blue, green, yellow and orange. The last two are larger than life and in blazing red. On one of these a girl is riding and another girl walks alongside the other as the journey to the future continues together. Marieke has completed numerous private and public commissions and her work is represented in several public sites, private collections and galleries both nationally and abroad.

ABOUT MARIEKE Marieke grew up on a horse farm and has sculpted – with whatever she could find – since she can remember. Being part of a very multicultural, multilingual new South African Democracy has made a significant impact on her sculpture. There is ever the desire to communicate and be understood – to be relevant, hopeful and truthful – a part of the fiercely determined South African art movement.

Which part of your career do you find most rewarding? That it is never the same. Never. Hour by hour I have to realign. It is part of the exhilaration and often the frustration. One would think that each sculpture has the same demand and requirements and asks the same of her Maker, but it is simply not like that. I have to grow to make each one. Tell us about your art form. All sculpture is a series of processes… one after another. I start a sculpture by drawing lines on my concrete studio floor – find the forms and set out an inner structure. Then I begin welding the armature up – drawing again but in vertical lines of steel and welded fire. Next, sculpting with clay or wax – hundreds and hundreds of handfuls gripped in palm of hand and then applied one over the other.

Layer by layer, fingerprint over fingerprint. The sculpture starts to grow from the inside, waxing like the moon. Like year rings inside a tree.

What initially attracted you to the world of art? To be given the scope to make the invisible visible. To put an outline and shape to something that has not yet existed… Every great story is a love story. This is what makes me keep at it. There are so many stories that still need to find form.

The Homing Pigeons

How long does it take? In these days of technological record-keeping – of the never-sleeping glow and glimmer of social media and lapse videos – it can seem as though sculpting happens in a flash-frame minute. Like an entire season speeded up to grow, blossom and bloom in less time than it takes to make a cup of tea. But for me the meaning and gravity come from the enormous amount of time that it demands. Time compresses in minutes and hours pressed down into clay. Then more layers are added. It grows by days. Then by weeks. The sculpture becomes a layered deposit of time and breath and life. Compresses into itself to become itself. But then! When finally it is complete and the sculpture is viewed, it gives its time back – the viewer opens its story like a capsule. And then, time is defied. Where do you get your inspiration from? Sculpture always carries a message and a meaning. Some meanings are more subtle and private than others, but every sculpture tells a story. My sculptures mostly have little moments of a story held in the way they stand, the expression in their face, the slight twist of a mouth corner or angle of a glance.

The Dancer

The way I have managed to get around that, is to work on at least 10 different sculptures at any given time. When I feel like I have no more ideas or strength for one of them, I carry on with another.

What have you learnt in the last couple of years – in general or about yourself?

I try to be kind. I am the dreaming girl and timesheet boss and worker with only ten fingers and have to keep them all in sync. Some mornings I drag myself into the studio and run my fingers over the sculptures, feeling as though I do not have anything to give. But I start. Humbly.

A day in dialogue with sculptures in the making can yank me from excited and inspired to frustrated and exhausted. I have learnt from experience – the hard, raw way – that to wait to work, creating only when I feel like it, would mean very little will get done.

Often with my eyes closed, using fingertips to see until I find even one answer of the 42 views of the sculpture that have to all be correct and talk to each other before being complete. I keep going. Like Braille text, finding the beginning of another conclusion.

I hope to have them bring reminders to those who see them, of dreams they have perhaps forgotten. To call them again to the hopes they hold and prayers they know will be answered.

Inspiration is a faithful friend, but she seems to call only when I am already working – whether it be with or without hope. Then she tiptoes in quietly, takes the mundane and makes it meaningful.

VISIT KENYA WITH ADORE AFRICA

Visit Kenya with ADORE Africa

The vibrant Nairobi – Kenya’s capital – is home to an elephant orphanage, giraffe centre, significant museums and its own national park with an impressive and varied wildlife population. Many start their Kenyan safari here. However, it is the Masai Mara that is the country’s flagship reserve, providing the quintessential safari experience. The Great Migration river crossings are unforgettable and can even be witnessed from a hot air balloon. Near Nairobi, the earth’s giants traverse the much-visited Amboseli National Park in large herds below the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro. Samburu National Park is a gem in the north where the majestic Mount Kenya watches over dry, rugged lands nourished by the Ewaso Ng’iro river. Special species, big cats and Nile crocodiles make for unforgettable game viewing.

A remote island hideaway can be found on Mfangano Island in the mighty Lake Victoria. At the luxury island camp, relaxation and adventure are beautifully balanced. Birding with an ornithologist by foot or boat, fishing, riding on a traditional sailing boat, visiting painting sites and meeting the locals are all options. Laikipia Plateau delivers a raw, exclusive safari experience. It is Big Five territory where the conservation work is praiseworthy. Animals are abundant and rare creatures have a home here. Lake Naivasha is a truly lovely lake where boat rides and walking safaris introduce visitors to thousands of flamingos, a stunning array of bird species, many hippos and plains game. Photographers and birders are sure to celebrate the scenery.
