The restaurant, with sections for public and private dining, has a plush interior filled with eclectic artworks, from paintings of African wildlife to photographs of dancers.

Lush garden

Nestled among the trees at Watercrest Garden Estate, Nuvo Cuisine offers international dishes with French, Italian and Thai influences. The charm of this restaurant, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary in May, lies in its understated, homely antique style, featuring items such as a 1917 gramophone. It has three indoor sections that may be booked as private venues, and a large covered patio overlooking the pool and garden. Try the oxtail won tons (five Chinese won ton wrappers filled with lightly curried oxtail), followed by beef Wellington. For dessert, tuck into the berry pavlova, an airy cacao pavlova with sweetened berries.

Home comforts The line between bedroom and living area continues to blur WORDS: CHRIS REID

IMAGE: ARFLEX, LIGNE-ROSET AND WEYLANDTS

F

urniture trends are often an indication of our collective mood at a particular point in time. When times are good, our homes are filled with bold statement pieces usually focusing more on looks than on comfort, but when times are uncertain we seek reassurance in the familiar and simple. It’s not surprising, then, given that the world seems to be fraught with instability at the moment, that a current trend in

furniture and home decor sees the whole house styled like an extension of the bed. We’ve seen the rise of this trend in furniture detailing for some time now, with quilting and other bedding-inspired elements showing up in trade shows and trend pieces. Now brands, such as Arflex and Ligne-Roset, are taking this approach even further, with sofas and chairs that appear to be made out of pillows, duvets and quilts.

Locally, Weylands has taken a similar approach with its Domain chair, which features a loose, sheeting-inspired design. With pieces like this we’re also seeing the trend move beyond single products, with the relaxed styling of bedrooms moving through into the living areas and to the rest of the house. This is part of a larger worldwide trend towards the blurring of the boundaries between rooms — in

this case, bedrooms becoming more like living spaces and vice versa. People are seeking to make their homes more comfortable in any way that they can. In response to this, product designers need to look at creating furniture and decor pieces that draw cues from the bedroom . For architects and interior professionals, on the other hand, creating sanctuary-like spaces throughout the home is key.

04 OCTOBER 2015

Just east of the city centre is Arcadia, one of Pretoria’s oldest suburbs, consisting of established houses and apartment blocks that attract families, students and retirees. The name of this area between Stanza Bopape Street in the north, Park Street in the south, Du Toit Street in the west and Hill Street in the east, is derived from a Greek province of the same name that is associated with nature and harmony, which perfectly reflect the elements of this suburb.

and Ratepayers Association (ARRA) continues to grow from strength to strength through social events, such as the street market in Government Avenue and the Halloween event. “The association is involved in the fight against rezoning for business purposes in the greenbelt area and the proposal to proclaim part of Arcadia above Stanza Bopape Street a heritage area so that it remains a green zone. Police forum cars, security services and embassy guards in the suburb also seem to keep criminals at bay, as indicated by the low crime figures of the area from the SAPS,” says Picard.

Arcadia has a number of historical buildings, including the Union Buildings, which house the offices of the President on Meintjieskop, the highest point in Pretoria. Another historical feature in the area is the Pretoria Art Museum, established to house the city council’s art collection, which has been built up since the 1930s.

We have the best of both worlds, with city and quiet living, and we hope to continue preserving our suburb

Dr Jan Picard, a 79-year-old resident who’s been living in Arcadia since 1984, explains that until 1855 most settlers lived around the banks of the Apies River, but when the first church was built at Church Square and nagmaal wagons were parked there every Sunday, people moved to the suburbs around the square. He says that one of the first of Pretoria’s suburbs to be developed was Arcadia. Picard adds that the wonder of Arcadia is that it’s ideally located close to town, has beautiful tree-lined streets, a peaceful atmosphere, abundant birdlife and friendly people. He says that it is wonderful to hear the different languages of the embassy personnel residing in the area and that the Arcadia Residents

LINDA TYRRELL, RESIDENT

When it comes to sports entertainment, Loftus Versfeld Stadium, a rugby and association football stadium catering for 51,000 spectators, remains popular for rugby and soccer matches. Another sporting landmark of the suburb is the Arcadia Shepherds Football Club, which was founded in 1903 and is known for producing players such as Phil Evans, Bongani Khumalo and Katlego Mphela. Sixty-three-year-old Ina Roos has been living in Arcadia since 1979. She says the suburb has fascinating people, great historical significance and a strong sense of community due to a good residents association, as well as good education, medical and sports facilities. She says she will never forget the inauguration of former President Mandela at the Union Buildings in 1994, when she joined neighbours on camping chairs on the sidewalk to watch the show of their lives, with overseas and local dignitaries passing by, an air show and the concert at the Union Buildings. “The residential community

of Arcadia has become tightly knit over the last few years. I am excited about the large number of young people who have moved into the area. It is lovely to see them stroll with their babies along the streets. Arcadia is a quiet little green haven that should be preserved by its residents,” says Roos. Linda Tyrrell has been living in Arcadia since 1985. The 61-year-old says there’s no other area with the historical significance of the Union Buildings precinct. She, too, was excited to experience Mandela’s inauguration up close. She adds that when Mandela lived in the area he would walk around chatting with the locals and so when he died they felt the grief keenly. The suburb has no shortage of medical facilities, including Mediclinic Muelmed, the Pretoria Eye Institute and the Mediclinic Heart Hospital. Mediclinic Muelmed’s offering includes a private trauma unit and an HIV clinic. The Pretoria Eye Institute is Africa’s first private eye hospital, with advanced equipment and specially trained staff providing eye-care services using the latest techniques. “Properties in Arcadia are constantly being upgraded, allowing property values to increase. The suburb is near to all convenient amenities and pleasant to walk in, and while it is close to town, it’s as quiet as an area far from town. We have the best of both worlds, with city and quiet living, and we hope to continue preserving our suburb,” says Tyrrell.

Buying: the practical approach Buying, moving or renovating a home or investment property is a huge commitment WORDS: LISA DEWBERRY

IMAGE: ISTOCK

D

espite challenging economic conditions during 2014 extending into 2015, there is growing interest in home purchases, indicating a strong residential market. Whatever the reason for property interest, it remains a huge commitment. Before acquiring or renovating a property, more South Africans are increasingly assessing all financial implications to make a decision that fits their budget and needs. Steven Barker, head of Standard Bank Home Loans, says South Africans are adopting a practical approach to buying homes in 2015, taking time to consider the financial advantages and disadvantages of buying, moving or renovating properties. He says customers are making decisions only after weighing up several factors, including examining transfer and legal costs when buying a property, municipal rates, taxes and sectional title levies. “They are assessing the costs of moving households, the implications

of making physical changes to a new home and the costs of buying furniture and fittings for a new home. They are comparing maintenance costs of established homes in the suburbs versus higherdensity townhouse complexes and weighing the advantages of buying a new build against an older existing home,” he says. Barker adds that where the costs are considered to excessively outweigh the advantages of moving, many customers are applying for finance to improve their properties by renovating or adding on to them. He says that in the current economic environment, well-located homes close to the required amenities are getting most of the interest. Justin Easthorpe, regional sales manager: Ooba, says that buying an investment home is a big expense and that buyers are ensuring they know as much as possible about the property and the market before taking this step. He says investment buyers are beginning to understand

that it’s important to know what they are buying the property for, as this affects the decisions they make. “If buying property for investment purposes, buyers realise the importance of location, as return on investment depends on demand for the property being rented out. They are also ensuring they’ll be able to rent out the property by doing internet research and speaking to a few estate agents in the area about local property price growth and rental rates, to ensure good price growth,” says Easthorpe. If buyers are purchasing a unit in a holiday rental block, he adds, then they ask the agent for the holiday occupancy rate from the previous year, to assess whether or not they will be able to make a sizeable return on their new property investment. By being informed about every aspect of their purchases, buyers are setting themselves up for a good rental return from their investment properties, says Easthorpe.

Analyse it PATRICK CAIRNS

One hundred black industrialists is not enough O

ver the last couple of years the government has begun promoting the idea of creating “black industrialists” — black South Africans who own and control businesses that can have a meaningful impact on employment and economic empowerment. In his 2014 state of the nation speech, President Zuma noted that “we have to work more intensively to develop emerging or black industrialists”. This year he once again referred to the same theme. Through the departments of economic development and trade and industry, the government has announced significant support for these industrialists. State-owned enterprises have also committed to procuring goods and services from black-owned businesses.

The only way it can really encourage the development of businesses on that scale is by creating an enabling environment: lowering the bureaucratic barriers to starting a business, improving education, simplifying tax laws and ensuring labour market flexibility. If the government really wants to identify particularly promising businesses and get behind them, then that in itself is no bad thing. But it cannot force entrepreneurship. That comes only from setting up an environment in which businesses want, and are able, to flourish on their own.

All of this comes from the government’s ideal of acting as a “developmental state”, of using public institutions to drive economic transformation. The government aims to have 50 beneficiaries of its black industrialist programme by the end of this year and 100 by the end of 2016.

If you want to be more eco-friendly but don’t know where to start, we’ve got the answers

W

ith summer just around the corner, it’s time to think about how to keep cool when the temperature rises — without wasting electricity. Here are some top tips to keep in mind.

WORDS: BRIDGET MCNULTY IMAGE: ISTOCK

5 ways to cool your home — without air-con

1. Shut off as many electronics as possible. 2. Close your windows during the day and open them only at nightfall, when cooler temperatures prevail, and create cross-ventilation. 3. Make use of heat-reflective film on windows that face the sun. This film will not only reduce the glare, but also protect your furniture from cracking, perishing or discolouring from the harmful UV sunrays. 4. Draw your curtains or blinds. This will block the entry of direct sunlight. 5. Use fans strategically. Face them slightly towards the cooler outside air rather than directly at you. By doing so, you will maximise the cooling power of a natural breeze.

SIMPLE WAYS TO GO GREEN • Did you know that house plants absorb the sun’s energy? Plant as many trees as possible close to windows to create natural shading. This will block the sun’s rays from directly entering your home. Another place to plant trees and bushes is around walkways to absorb the heat emitted from them. • Tossing and turning in your sleep? Swap to buckwheat pillows for a cooler sleep.

• Close off unused rooms to keep the cooler air circulating in the main living areas and prevent it from permeating into the rooms that aren’t being used.

The answer to that question is not a simple one. Certainly, some of the things the government is doing should be applauded.

The government cannot support that many businesses through the mechanisms it has proposed. The scale of what needs to be done is too great.

How to green your home this summer

• Insulate your roof to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. Win-win!

The question, however, is what the government’s role should be in this process. How does one really “develop black industrialists”?

But the fact that the government feels it is necessary to make a specified, limited number of companies the focus of its efforts merely highlights the problem. South Africa does not need 100 successful black entrepreneurs. It needs tens of thousands of them.

11

• Take advantage of the heat and do your cooking outside. By reducing the amount of electronics utilised in the home, the indoor temperature will be lower. Braai more and keep your home free from oven heat.

No one can fault the idea that black South Africans must claim a more meaningful stake in the economy. Business as usual in South Africa is not an option. It is a threat to social and political stability, and high economic growth will come only from supporting entrepreneurship and increasing the number of productive citizens in the country.

Setting procurement targets for government departments and state-owned enterprises that force them to support small businesses is meaningful if properly conducted. Providing grants to support business development can help to alleviate the difficulties in securing funding.

A new city for Modderfontein Zendai Development SA is all set to start on its R84bn development of Modderfontein New City WORDS: CATHERINE BLACK

IMAGE: SUPPLIED

Z

endai Development South Africa, the local subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed property developer Shanghai Zendai, is set to start its first residential project in Modderfontein. Called The Centenary, the residential development will be the first of several proposed phases in building the 13,000,000m² Modderfontein New City over the next 15 to 20 years. The development of the new precinct will cost an estimated R84bn. Anthony Diepenbrook, CEO, Zendai Development Africa, says the overarching vision is to create a world-class, mixed-use city that caters for commerce, education, recreation and entertainment. The plans for Modderfontein New City include a financial and commercial district, a leisure district, residential and retirement communities, and light industrial and logistic parks. Key elements to achieve this vision include connectivity, reliable public transport and environmental sustainability. Diepenbrook doesn’t foresee the recent slowdown in China’s economy having a major impact on the development of Modderfontein New City. “While the global impact of the downturn in the Chinese economy cannot be assuaged, its impact is expected to be marginal, as Zendai’s strategic goal is to function as a self-sustaining entity,” he says. To this end,

Diepenbrook says, local finance is being secured for the projects, thus making the local company less reliant on the holding company and therefore slightly less susceptible to international economic conditions, particularly in China. Concerns have been raised that the new city would possibly negatively affect the nearby Modderfontein Reserve, Gauteng’s second largest park filled with indigenous fauna and flora, but Diepenbrook allays these fears. “Modderfontein Reserve forms a focal point in the development and is integral to the future of the new town,” he says. “Zendai will retain and preserve the reserve to ensure it continues to provide quality recreational and leisure opportunities to both residents and visitors.” And what about the impact on Joburg’s transport network, particularly in terms of traffic congestion to and from the area? Diepenbrook says that Zendai is assessing the impact of development on the demand for transport. As part of this, Zendai is creating a “transport master plan”, which will promote alternative modes of transport such as walking and cycling. In addition, the development will be within walking distance of the planned Gautrain station in Modderfontien. “The overall strategy is to promote economic development without adding to congestion,” he says.
