Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.

Several martyrdom stories associated with the various Valentines that were connected to February 14 were added to later martyrologies, including a popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome which indicated he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, Saint Valentine healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius, and before his execution, he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell.

The day first became associated with romantic love within the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines")

he most written about subject on this unpredictable planet of ours. Wars have been fought over it, millions of songs have been written about it, hearts have been broken… Countless good and bad poems, books and movies have love as the central theme… It’s this emotion that makes pubs, record companies and dating sites exist. Money makes the world go round, but according to Elizabeth Browning love is what makes the ride worthwhile. For years to come man and woman will continue this search for the four-letter L word. So what pearl of wisdom can I possibly add to this - the most overused, misunderstood and most desirable emotion of all time? The big guns like Shakespeare have already cornered the market. And it’s tough coming up with anything better than 1 Corinthians 13. Go read it again – it’s truly beautiful.

fact your own birthday. And this is the actual truth. He did it. For me. Vowed never ever again, but he did. I swear Percy is a saint. Some readers have asked me if my hubby doesn’t get upset about the stuff I write about him. In my defense: I only write the truth. Maybe true love is about softening the truth a bit… No, it’s not lying… It’s completely different from lying. My man staan byvoorbeeld altyd reg met ’n ‘jy lyk pragtig’ nog voor ek behoorlik uitgekom met met die vraag: Lyk ek darem…(skaflik)? ‘Jy lyk pragtig, skat.’ Noudat ek daaraan dink, dis darem te maklik… Seker maar jare se kondisionering. Nou die oggend sit ons en tee drink op die stoep en hy kyk met so ’n ver af verliefde uitdrukking na my… My hart raak warm. ‘En as jy so na my kyk, my lief?’vra ek koketterig. ‘Huh?... Nee, ek word nog wakker.” Ware liefde voorwaar. Veral van my kant af.

So for once I decide to do some Google research. I type in the word ‘love’ and within 0.25 seconds I am presented with 1,340 million results. I am way over my head here. Maybe I should rather just write about Romance. Within 0.12 seconds I have 194 million results. Okay, back to ‘love’ it is… I start scrolling down the page, searching for enlightenment. And lo and behold there it is: HOW TO LOVE. 8 STEPS. (WITH PICTURES) With pictures?! Are they serious? Note to self: Double-check what my teenage daughter is Googling. Of course I double click on the ‘how to love in 8 steps with pictures’. I’m human afterall and this is known as doing research… What did I discover? Trust me, save yourself the trouble. I find the average article on dealing with varicose veins at the doctor’s waiting room way more interesting than the drivel they came up with. Step one… Find someone you like… (Eh… DUH.) So I decide to do some face to face research. Starting with an expert on the current world of romance and teenage love – my 19 (going-on-36) year old. This is what I discovered: When you are 19, love is…

So wat doen jy hierdie jaar op Valentynsdag vir jou geliefde? Ja, baie mense dink dis net ’n geldmaakstorie. Maar om vir jou liefie ’n blommetjie te pluk of te bederf met ’n spesiale ontbyt kos jou niks – of gebruik jy die geld of die moeite as verskoning om niks te doen nie. Ek vra maar net. Ja, elke dag behoort Valentynsdag te wees. Maar is dit? In my huis is dit. Ek en my wederhelf mik vir ons 25e huweliksherdenking hierdie jaar en ek laaik hom nog Baie! Hy’t hoeka nou die dag vir my gesê: ek trou sommer weer met jou. Thanks my skat, maar ek dink nie ons budget gaan dit maak nie. Ek wil hierdie jaar oorsee gaan (noudat die pond so geval het na Brexit) En die troukoors loop hoog, hoor! Elke tweede klant wat by die winkel inloop is op soek na unieke goedjies vir haar spesiale dag. Moet jy vir hom blomme op Valentynsdag koop? Ek kan nie meer byhou met wat is deesdae aanvaarbaar en wat nie. Een van my man se gunsteling Valentynsgeskenke wat hy van my gekry het was ’n skildery van ’n jong dogtertjie wat nogal trek op ons negentienjarige meisiekind… Ek kon dit glad nie bekostig nie en moes stilletjies in ons huisverband inklim, maar die effek wat die skildery op Percy gehad het was elke sent werd. Daardie skildery het al die pad van Johannesburg saamgekom en hang op ’n baie prominente plek in ons huis en inspireer ons nog elke dag…

….getting an illegible (well, at least to your mother) message on your Smartphone from your cyber boyfriend. Just a modern version of the old-fashioned love letter I suppose… Actually in this technological age, the written word is making a come-back. Hence the popularity of wall quotes… Our walls are adorned with positive, inspiring sayings… Words in all shapes and forms are seen in the best-dressed homes. Peace, hope, faith, family, celebrate, joy etc. And of course that most enigmatic word of all – love. I’ve also had a ‘relêx’ and an ‘eish’ for sale… But I digress… Back to the 19 year old expert who informs me that the ultimate love story is that between a vampire and a human… Like many girls her age she’s been completely taken by the Twilight Saga. Who am I to judge?… In my day it was the Rocky Horror Picture Show…

Valentynsdag gaan deesdae ook oor vriende en familie. Dis nie net vir verliefde paartjies nie. Daar is ’n wonderlike verhaal oor ’n jong tienermeisie wat sielsongelukkig was omdat sy nie ’n kêrel gehad het nie. Sy was vas oortuig dat sy te vet, te lelik of te dom was. Een jaar kry sy vir die eerste keer ’n Valentynskaartjie van ’n geheime bewonderaar. Dit het haar hele lewe verander. Sy het uit haar dop begin kruip, stadig vriende op skool begin maak want sy het geweet iewers is daar iemand wat vir haar omgee. So het sy elke jaar ’n Valentynskaartjie gekry van dieselfde geheime bewonderaar. Sy het elke kaartjie bewaar. En wanneer sy depressief was, het sy die kaartjies oor en oor gelees en beter gevoel. Selfs na sy getroud is het haar geheime bewonderaar aangehou om vir haar kaartjies te stuur. Klokslag. Elke 14e Februarie is ’n kaartjie by haar huis afgelewer. Maart 2002 is haar pa oorlede. Die volgende Valentynsdag was daar nie ’n kaartjie in die posbus nie…

Next I interview my reluctant husband about the meaning of true love. Hard to pin him down – he’s channel-hopping. He can only concentrate on what I’m saying during ad breaks. I suppose that’s one version of true love: still loving him even though he prefers Top Gear to my scintillating conversation. Finally I manage to get an answer from him between NCIS and CSI: True love is helping your wife do the flowers at the 50th birthday party of another man – even though it is in

Valentyn, skenk vanjaar ’n boek!

ie afgelope maand het die Vriende van Afrikaans twee wonderlike ervarings gehad op Rus en Vrede buite Stellenbosch en op Achtervlei op Piket-BoBerg. Rus en Vrede

Chareldine van der Merwe, die VVA se projekorganiseerder, het op 24 November vir elke kind in die Babbel en Krabbelcréche op Rust en Vrede (net buite Stellenbosch) ’n VVArugsakkie met boeke gaan afgee namens Vader Krismis. Johan en Tjuks Roos, die eienaars van die plaas, het die créche reeds in 1983 begin. Nie ’n enkele kind wat in hierdie créche was, moes al ooit ’n jaar herhaal nie. En dit spreek boekdele. Boonop het die Roos-broers in 2014 besluit om hierdie inisiatief uit te brei sodat die kinders van Rust en Vrede tot op tersiêre vlak ondersteun kan word. Tans is daar 14 leerders in die créche, 14 op skool, een by ’n kollege en twee op universiteit. Daar word ook ’n nasorgsentrum en ’n biblioteek beplan vir volgende jaar. Hoe word die inisiatief befonds? Met ’n briljante plan: Paul Roos-Wyn wat in 2014 gebore is. Gaan kyk gerus op www. paulrooswine.com na Die Skoolhoof (witwyn) en Die Filantroop (rooiwyn) wat spesiaal vir hierdie inisiatief gebottel word. Dis ’n pragtige geskenk, of sommer net lekker om self te drink en te weet jy ondersteun ’n lofwaardige projek. Achtervlei Hier op Piket-Bo-Berg boer Kobus en Deidre Eigelaar met sagtevrugte. En hier het 12 Sotho- stukwerkers ’n tuiste gevind. Die verhaal van die Sotho-plaaswerkers begin in 1994 toe hulle in Clanwilliam afgelaai met beloftes van werk en

voorspoed. Dit het ongelukkig nie gerealiseer nie en die mense is aan hulle eie lot oorgelaat. ’n Plaaslike inwoner, Elza van Zyl, het die nood raakgesien en begin om vir die werkers stukwerk op plase te kry. Anders as vorige stukwerkers wat Kobus-hulle gebruik het, is hierdie groep mense rustig, pligsgetrou en toegewyd. Deidre wou die manne die geleentheid gee om hulle omgang met die mense in hulle werksomgewing te verbeter, om hulle toekoms te verbeter. Hulle kon kies tussen Afrikaans of Engels. Die res is geskiedenis. In Mei 2016 begin Dokka Swart en Chareldine van der Merwe om ses fasiliteerders op te lei om die Doen-en-Leerprogram vir Jong Volwassenes te gebruik. Hulle maak deur die jaar beurte om die klasse twee maal per week aan te bied. Hierdie werkers kom twee maal per week laatmiddag na ’n harde dag se werk vir hierdie klasse. Dit laat my wonder of daar nie ’n Tom Heineman iewers rondloop wat inisiatiewe soos hierdie wil verfilm en die wêreld instuur nie. En dan kan die Swede sommer geld laat kom om ’n verskil te maak aan die lewens van mense, stil-stil, soos dit op Rust en Vrede en Achtervlei en nog baie ander plase gebeur. Angs en ontevredenheid maak ’n mens magteloos. Sluit aan by ’n groep of organisasie wat volgens jou iets sinvols in die samelewing doen. Gou sal jy agterkom dat daar baie is om te doen en jouself so uit die put van onmag en ellende te help. Tot ’n volgende keer, mooi loop! Amanda de Stadler

Shakespeare said “If music be the food of love, play on”. Feb 14 Valentines day will be celebrated around the world as the day of Love and romance. Many songwriters have poured their hearts out in lyrics dedicated to the pleasure and pain of love. One could say Love is the food of Music,

play on.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull.

British Rock Band formed in the late 60’s. Initially playing blues rock, they developed their sound to incorporate elements of British Folk and hard rock to forge a progressive rock signature. The band was led by eccentric vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson. With several changes in the band members the group continued to tour until 2011. In April 2014 Ian Anderson declared that he was going to focus on his solo career and the band was finished. Aqualung (my favourite) Released March 1971, a standard on many radio playlists incl. WCFM.

Traveller by Chris Stapleton.

This is his debut solo album released in May 2015 and remained at the top of the Country charts for months. Stapleton has been in the business for years as a songwriter and back up vocalist/musician. He has written songs for Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan and Adele to name a few. Traditional country with elements of Southern Rock, Blues and the great tone of Stapleton’s voice creates a unique sounding Album, with some great tracks.

Head Carrier by The Pixies.

American Alternative Rock Band released this album Sept.2016. The Pixies of 2016 are very different to the group from the late 80’s. Significant changes in band members and a difference in energy. Fans of their earlier work might notice a different vibe. It still sounds like the Pixies, some might say that there is a bit of self plagiarism, its not quite the brilliant oddball energy that made them so popular in the first place. The Pixies will be performing in Cape Town 18 March.

SPLASH 8

Run by Matthew Mole.

The Album Run was released in July 2016 and contains his hit singles Run and Holding On. Anyone who has seen this humble SA artist live will know that his performance is full of energy as he sings, plays guitar, ukulele, drums. Backed by a few beats on his computer. Matthew pours himself into his music which is possibly why listeners relate so well to his experiences.

The Search For Everything by John Mayer.

Released January 2017 this is his 7th studio Album. I think I will let John himself tell you about this Album. He told Rolling Stone that he wanted to make as ambitious an album as possible. “I want to leave the Earth as a writer”, he explains, “I wasn’t interested in doing anything I’ve done before, and I wanted to stoke the fire of abstraction and just start punching hard.”

“synergy” the latest exhibition

tay dall 3rd to the 19th March 2017

Urban Story 150 cm x 80 cm

Twilight 100 cm x 150 cm

Eruption 180 cm x 80 cm

Art is creativity drawn out of a deep well within ones subconscious and can be more powerful and true than conscious thought and reason. Therefore, the rock and rolls of imagined places, drips and splats, roils of dramatic curves and dancing clouds of mist. Movements of liquid and air melding into an electrically charged inter-exchange of emotional colours. Tendrils of weird lines vying for canvas space with floating forms in inky pools of atmosphere. This may sound like a lot of gobbledygook but in more ways than one, and depending how you see it, that pretty much sums up what can be expected in my latest exhibition I have called Synergy. Esoteric subjects and themes presented in these visual offerings may mystify, elude, enlighten, disappoint, inspire, or just shake your head, glaze your eyes, and knock you dead in the cerebral cortex of confusion. Don’t worry, my feeling is that there is no right or wrong way to see art. As long as the work squeezes out a little illustrious emotional response whether it’s positive or negative; if that happens, then I am a happy artist. For those who have followed my art, my shows and tracked my 30 year career as an artist, you already know, that out of all the madness that gets churned and spun in my studio, my art makes beautiful sense in a very organized chaotic way. The works that I

have chosen for the Synergy collection represent the combined power of a grouping of my art styles and themes working together to make a greater more powerful visual. The collection explores the history of where I am, where I’ve come from and where I’m going as I continue to experiment and explore the myriad possibilities of my imagination and my ability to create. Thank you all for all your support with what I do. –Tay Dall Vermont 2017 about the artist Born in Cape Town in 1966, Tay began doing art classes at the early age of 8 years old, finally finishing her education with a Bachelors in Fine Arts from the Michaelis School of Art at the University of Cape Town. In 1988 Tay immigrated with her family to Los Angeles, California where she worked in the film industry, studied computer graphics, and began exhibiting her work in various venues in her free time. Her eminent success in America led to a full-time career as an artist.

Why Laser Hair Removal is the Perfect

Valentine’s Day Gift Valentine’s Day is almost here—again. It’s time for flowers and chocolates, romantic dinners, and searching for the perfect gift for the one we love.

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

Consider these benefits for your love this Valentine’s Day:

1 ULTRA PERSONAL TREATMENT

Valentine’s Day is about love in all its aspects; romance, commitment, sexiness, and we honour our partners on this day by giving them gifts to show just how much we appreciate them. Traditionally, we give token gifts—flowers, chocolates and sometimes even jewellery- it’s become routine. Expected, even. Love should never be routine.

A gifted treatment at Refine Laser Clinic gives your valentine a beauty treatment that is 100 % customized to his or her skin and hair type. Our exclusive FDA approved Palomar laser gives precision, and pain free hair reduction in just a few sessions. It uses wavelengths — adjusted for the patient’s particular skin type — that are clinically proven to be most effective to safely, comfortably, and permanently remove hair from all skin types. Not only will this be a long-lasting gift, but it will be exactly the treatment that’s right for the recipient.

2 TOP-OF-THE-LINE QUALITY

A Refine gift certificate means your valentine will be treated to a reputable laser hair removal center with experienced staff.

3 PERMANENT RESULTS

Love should be exciting. Love should be romantic, committed, and sexy all rolled into one, and so should our Valentine’s Day gifts. Laser hair removal is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. That’s right. It’s both practical and sexy, it’s a gift that lasts forever, and best of all it’s something that our sweethearts might never get for themselves. Plus, it’s a gift that you can BOTH enjoy - saving the other person time and helping them look their best without all the hassles of shaving and waxing. We all have some area that we wish was a little less furry, whether it’s underarms and upper lip for women, or chest, back, or unibrow for men.

Laser hair removal is the gift that keeps giving. When performed by our certified technicians, the results are beautiful and long-lasting. At Refine, once you have completed your series of treatments, you will be hairfree! Additional hair may appear due to medical conditions or hormonal changes over the next year, but if that happens, a maintenance program provides quick fix touch-up’s. The cost varies, depending on factors that include: l Size of the area being treated and time required for treatment, an upper lip treatment can be as little as R200 per session. l Number of treatments required, after about 3-4 sessions, the hair becomes very fine and the cost will come down with each session as the hair lessens.

4 SEXY, SULTRY SKIN

What better gift is there than the gift of confidence? Touchable, smooth skin your valentine can’t wait to show off is the ultimate gift, and it gives them the opportunity to celebrate the skin they might otherwise want to hide.

A gift certificate for laser hair removal is a gift that doesn’t just say “I love you,” it says “I want you to feel beautiful.”

This Valentine’s Day, give yourself or your loved one the gift of gorgeous skin and true body confidence. We can promise quick appointments, affordable pricing options, and skilled technicians. Great in-house Valentine’s specials – call us today!

We all want smooth, unblemished skin. Nice skin is part of looking and feeling great. We go to great lengths to make sure we have it, from shaving to waxing to harsh chemical hair removers that may damage the skin. Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction by removing unwanted hair in only four to eight treatments, so we never have to worry about bikini lines or back hair again.

What It Takes To Purchase A Home Purchasing a property requires more than just the need or want to own a home. It also requires a certain amount of knowledge, intelligence and attitude!

Here are some aspects to consider… 1. What can you afford if you do not possess the full purchase price in cash? Of course finance is always the first consideration. Do not purchase outside of your means. In other words do not spend more than 30% of your combined (if purchasing with a partner) gross income on the financing of your purchase. Also your monthly mortgage payment should not exceed your net income after deduction of your fixed monthly costs as well as your monthly expenses. The best advice is to always make the biggest possible down payment, i.e. at least 20% of the purchase price and then see if the balance can be financed by means of a mortgage loan based on the above calculation. If not, you are aiming too high!

2. Purchasing costs Always calculate the costs of purchasing a new property so as not to be short of cash when taking transfer of ownership. Here is a checklist for buyers: Transfer Duty Rates Clearance Certificate Levies or HOA clearance certificate (if applicable) Conveyancer’s transfer fee Deeds office fee Deeds office search Posts & Petties Conveyancer’s Electronic instruction fee Electronic Rates fee Municipal provision for Rates and Taxes (if applicable) Occupational Rental (if applicable)

3. What taxes apply when purchasing and once you own a home? 3.1 Acquisition taxes: These are payable either in the form of Transfer Duty or VAT. Transfer Duty is payable unless the seller is a VAT vendor in which case the purchase price includes VAT and the purchaser is then not liable for Transfer Duty. (In a future article we will discuss acquisition and disposal taxes in more detail). 3.2 Taxation payable by the homeowner: Once you have taken transfer of ownership of your home you will become liable to pay Rates and Taxes to the local municipality. Should you be purchasing in a community scheme there are also levies payable. It is also wise to consider the fact that you may also be liable for capital gains tax when you again dispose of your primary residence and the gain exceeds R2 million. Should your acquisition be a holiday home, CGT is payable on the full gain (minus certain allowable deductions).

4. If you need to sell your existing home in order to purchase a new one It is extremely important to understand how a sale works when your offer to purchase (OTP) is subject to the sale of another property. The transaction is dependent upon the sale of the buyer’s current home. If the condition is met in the agreed time-frame, the sale contract becomes binding and if it doesn’t sell by the specified date, the contract is terminated. This type of conditional sale normally allows the seller to continue marketing the home with the stipulation that the buyer will be given a certain period of time (normally 72 hours) to waive the benefit of the condition if the seller receives another acceptable offer. If the buyer cannot waive the condition, the seller may accept the new offer and the deposit is returned to the buyer. This type of conditional clause must be inserted into the OTP in order to protect the buyer but the 72 hour escape clause is necessary to protect the seller’s interest. It is important that the exact details of the suspensive condtion must be specified in the OTP and that both parties to the contract understand the meaning and consequences therof as the agreement of sale is a legally binding contract. A qualified real estate agent or attorney should be consulted to ensure the correct legal utilization of such a condition.

5. Making your final decision is reliant on so may factors… 5.1 Location: Why the fuss? Of course you want to purchase in a area where you are secure in the knowledge that your investment will grow and you will obtain the best capital growth over time. It is therefore absolutely necessary that this research is undertaken by yourself or on your behalf by your real estate agent that you have built a good relationship with and is looking out for your best interests. The statistics including recent and long-term trends should provide a buyer with valuable information regarding specific areas, especially in terms of the current situation being one of a buyer’s or seller’s market. Of course price range will be a factor in deciding on the geographic location and neighbourhood and the age and personal circumstances of the buyer will also play a major part in selecting an urban location or perhaps one closer to schools or the sea or walks. 5.2 Property type, style and size: Purchasers should carefully consider whether a single, double storey, duplex, apartment, townhouse or gated village is their preference according to their personal needs. The style can also be another major consideration when one considers your home’s appearance and also function. Open-plan or separate formal areas? More traditional or modern? Big or small garden? Some buyers have a picture of their ideal home in mind in respect of size, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, entertainment areas, garages and more. Nowadays many people work from home and require a home office and a buyer may need an extra hobby or playroom. It is also necessary to consider not only current but also future needs in respect of the possibility to add on more rooms later or a swimming pool. 5.3 Age of the home: Modern homes may have newer architectural features like granite counters and clean lines with polished cement finishes, but older homes possess a certain charm and stability and are normally set in a lush established garden that a purchaser may desire.

It can be challenging to find a home that meets all the buyer’s needs and desires…and still stay within the budget. Good deals can be found, but never buy in a hurry! Buyers who take their time and connect with a really good and professional estate agent that understands them and is not pushy will always find the ‘right’ home at the ‘right’ time at the ‘right’ price!

Die krisis

in SA rugby duur voort ... It is the beginning of the 2017 season and we do not have finalization of management and coaching for the Springboks yet. If one can take the general media coverage of rugby at the highest level into consideration, we are heading for another season with dark clouds looming on the horizon. Allister Coetzee can not do an optimal job with the knowledge that he is being re-evaluated in a year’s time. He will be looking over his shoulder all the time. And that is certain.

of the end of year tour? Up to date nothing has changed other than more call-ups of players playing overseas. Where are the new Springboks that we develop that catch the attention of the world?

Dit is wat my betref nie net ’n SA probleem nie, maar ’n wêreldprobleem van afrigters wat spelers in sisteme en patrone inforseer om by die afrigter se kennis van die spel te pas. Uit die aard van die saak bevestig hy die betaling van die spelers, so dit is logies dat die spelers sal speel soos hy die versoeke uitdeel. Die vraag is wat word van indiwidualiteit en kreatiwiteit wat baie nou daaraan gekoppel is. Dit verdwyn soos mis voor die môreson.

Hierdie is seker die moeilikste artikel wat ek nog geskryf het, want ’n mens wil nie altyd ’n doemprofeet wees nie, maar dit wil net nie lyk of SARU die sake raakvat nie. Ons is nou al by twee maande sedert ons laaste wedstryd en die seisoen se sake is nog nie afgehandel Kyk ek na ander sportsoorte in die wêreld kry nie. Om professioneel op te tree is om seker te ons spelers wat die verbeelding van die wêreld wees van wat jy onder sekere omstandighede aangryp en wat ikoonstatus verwerf en vir moet doen.

he Global Golf Challenge, which will take place in Hermanus 24 – 26 February 2017, has officially launched their fund-raising campaign #Birdies2Earn. The initiative aims to generate funds to support the event’s chosen beneficiary, Learn to Earn.

The inaugural invitational charity event, is a world-first, pitting 10 professional women golfers from the Southern Hemisphere against a team of 10 from the Northern Hemisphere, in a Betterball Matchplay event that will take place at the Hermanus Golf Club next month. Players who have volunteered to’ tee-up for a hand-up’ and score as many Birdies as they can, include: Team South: Laurette Maritz (Captain, SA/Zim), Ashleigh Simon (Vice Captain, SA), Nicole Garcia (SA), Nobhule Dhlamini (Swaziland), Stacy Bergman (SA), Morgana Robebertse (South Africa) and Melissa Eaton (SA) Team North: Nora Angehrn (Captain, Switzerland), Maria Beautell (Spain), Carmen Alonso (Spain), Carri Park (South Korea), Cecile Lungren (Norway), Rachel Raastad (Norway), Alexandra Lennartson (Sweden) and Rebecca Hudson (England). To keep things simple for this international fund-raising campaign, all donors need to do is visit www.learntoearn.co.za, hover on “donate” and select “The Global Challenge” and then select from a number of options as to the amount of Birdies they believe will be made in the overall tournament. There is also the option for a straightforward donation amount. The funds will go to supporting much needed skills development for people living and working in the Cape Whale Coast region, who can apply to attend a variety of courses run by Learn to Earn (LtE), an internationally recognised social enterprise development non profit organisation. In addition to the public fund-raising campaign, sponsors supporting the Global Golf Challenge charity tournament are also contributing to job creation. “This is a very exciting but practical event,” commented spokesperson Kaz Henderson. “We wanted to create a tournament that could at once be something different for the world of professional women’s teams golf events, but at the same time, do something meaningful to change the lives of unemployed people with Learn to Earn.

nA lon

“We firmly believe that what we have delivered is a unique and truly beneficial way in which to marry sport, sponsors and addressing societal challenges, in this case unemployment. Collaboration is a worldwide trend, as is giving back. It took several years, and many iterations, but we think we’ve got it right and we can’t wait to welcome the players and spectators to one of the prettiest golf courses in South Africa in February.” One example of how this charitable tournament has already made an impact is in the advanced training of three graduates of the LtE Handyman course. The three, Mona Luntu, Akhona Gura and Phumza Magoxo, have now also qualified as installers of Tshisa Bathrooms (one of the sponsors for the Global Challenge). With their newfound abilities and confidence, they are now able to install hot water systems specifically designed for low-income dwellings. As a result, the three also have the opportunity to own their own businesses, guided by LtE and Johan Visser, founder of Tshisa Hot Water for Africa. “As SA Golf is often considered a sport for the privileged of society and serviced by underprivileged individuals known as caddies. The Global Golf Challenge is a great way of turning this perception upside down and making the underprivileged the focus while the privileged use the opportunity to give back.” Roché van Wyk, Learn to Earn Director. The organisers are calling on everyone, golfing fans or not, to ‘Tee-up for a Hand-up’ and to join them early morning over the weekend of 25 and 26 February 2017 to witness some fantastic golf by some of the world’s best women professionals, who are doing this all for good. Entrance is free for all spectators and because the Hermanus Tourism Bureau is the host for this event, no doubt there will be lots of accommodation specials to encourage people to make a weekend of it. Hope to see you there… Summing it up, Frieda Lloyd, Tourism Manager at the Cape Whale Coast commented: “The Cape Whale Coast is thrilled about the upcoming Global Golf Challenge. It is our first big event for the year and the front-runner in a season of many adventure races. This event links sport and the community as seldom seen. Not only is there a charitable advantage but the free entrance also serves as an encouragement for community participation. Truly an event with many benefits.” For more information about the Global Golf Challenge, or to book a spot in the NorthSouth Corporate Golf Derby Challenge, please see www.theglobalchallenge.co.za for contact details or mail us at quentin.globalgolfchallenge@gmail.com

Greenpop launches its 7th annual Platbos Reforest Fest March 10-12 (Family Weekend) and March 17-19 (Friends Weekend) In March 2017, Greenpop will be hosting their 7th annual Reforest Fest in the ancient Platbos Forest Reserve. But this isn’t just your ordinary festival! It is a chance to (re)connect with yourself, your fellow humans and with nature. Help plant thousands of trees, dance under the stars to amazing live music, learn from eco-workshops, eat delicious food and much more. Last year, Greenpop planted 8000 trees and this year they aim to plant another 8000 trees! “Platbos Reforest Fest truly is Greenpop’s mission in action: (re)connecting people with nature, and getting active for the planet, all in an ancient indigenous forest. Together, we are able to see the thriving trees we planted in previous years and get our hands dirty to add to this beautiful project. It is quite the thing to be with inspiring people doing awe-inspiring work in a place that is this awesome. We are not separate from nature. We are nature. I hope to see you there in 2017.” - Misha Teasdale, Tree-E-O of Greenpop Reforest Fest Each year, Greenpop hosts the Reforest Fest over two weekends in the beautiful Platbos Forest Reserve, 2.5 hours drive away from Cape Town in the Overberg region. There have been nearly 35,000 trees planted through the Friends and Family weekends to date. Family Weekend (March 10-12) is for parents and children to connect in nature while planting trees, enjoy great family entertainment and participate in activities for all ages. Unplug for some quality family time in the great outdoors and learn lessons about the planet. Friends Weekend (March 17-19) is for people who would like to get their hands dirty and make positive impact for the environment. As well as planting thousands of trees, fest goers will enjoy eco-talks, yoga, live music and much more. Friends Weekend activities and talks are more tailored to adults, but all ages are welcome at both festival weekends! Who is Greenpop? Greenpop is a social enterprise on a mission to (re)connect people with the planet. They plant trees through urban greening and reforestation projects, spread environmental education, and activate people through green workshops and events. More information: www.greenpop.org
