No place like home

W

hether you rent or own your home, making it pretty and comfy is certainly something that many of us aspire to. It’s important as it’s the place we spend most of our time. I was inspired to hear more about what this year’s trend forecasters are saying. Decor-wise the global trend has been summed up as The Considered Home. But what does this actually mean? Well, according to Sian Gutstadt, portfolio director, Decorex SA, it is a combination of decorating genres and is the design embodiment of the phrase “global village”. Sian says, “The essence of the considered home is a welledited space that is layered, but not cluttered, with a mix of quality high-end and store-bought pieces.” What a great vision. I love that everything doesn’t have to match and that timeless can live alongside new. It’s also more about quality rather than quantity. Now that will work for me.

What’s good?

18 to 21 March at Tolderia Resort, Lothair, Mpumalanga

T

ake a weekend trip to Lothair, Mpumalanga to Mieliepop’s annual three-day music festival. Camp out and enjoy more than 50 live performances of rock, blues and reggae on three different stages with the backdrop of crystal clear rivers, rolling green hills and magical caves.

ituated off Cliffendale Drive in Faerie Glen, La Fiamma was reopened at Faeriedale Shopping Centre by mother and son team Cinzia and Jarrid Smith in May last year. This homely, stylish and inviting Italian eatery (previously located in the same spot between 2004 and 2007) underwent a major transformation for the reopening. La Fiamma offers a choice of alfresco dining under the umbrellas outside, or dining in one of the intimate inside sections with brown paper-covered tables. You will notice interesting features such as a large chalkboard menu extending over the bar, lined with Triple Three Gin African Botanicals bottles and a single 5L speciality Strega, a popular Italian digestif.

La Fiamma offers a good selection of wines including brands such as Durbanville Hills, Terra del Capo, Blaauwklippen and Neethlingshof. There’s also a selection of imported Italian wines, grappa, cocktails, and craft and imported beers. Any wine served by the glass is served fresh from the bottle, made possible by the latest in wine preservation technology called Le Verre de Vin.

Whether you want to enjoy a romantic night out with your partner, a quick business lunch with a colleague or a leisurely family dinner, La Fiamma is an Italian gem with a welcoming atmosphere in the heart of Faerie Glen.

He suggests the rosemary deep-fried strip focaccia for starters or the Involtini di Melanzane with ricotta and mozerella cheese wrapped in salted brinjals, coated in Napolitano sauce and oven baked with Parmesan cheese. Have the signature Pancetta Di Maiale of slow roasted pork belly served with candied mustard fruit, topped with pear and cider jus, for mains.

The Allegra, which is slow-cooked wild boar, mushrooms, herbs and hints of garlic in Napolitano sauce with a choice of spaghetti, linguine or penne pasta, is a hearty, satisfying main meal choice. Round it all off with tiramisu for dessert made with lady fingers dipped in espresso and liqueur, and layered with creamy mascarpone.

This lovely little Italian dining place also provides live entertainment on Sundays, culinary classes, kiddies parties, catering of functions, and spitbraais at customer’s homes.

Punch parade Fun Irish recipes to enjoy on St Patrick’s Day

WORDS & IMAGE: RITA-MARI LUDIKE

I

t’s almost time for some shamrock green to adorn every pub and bar in town. In cities all around the world, rivers run bright green, pub crawls leave many a man bruised, and cheerful parades are the order of the day. If you’re celebrating at home with friends, treat them with some Irish-inspired drinks. You’ll have happy guests in no time.

Smooth Guinness punch (serves two)

Don’t feel like facing the masses this St Patrick’s Day? This is the perfect creamy dessert punch for an intimate evening for two. Ingredients: • 440ml Guinness draught • 220ml condensed milk • 5ml vanilla essence • 15ml nutmeg Pour the Guinness into a large jug while slanting the jug. Add the condensed milk, the vanilla essence and the nutmeg. Mix together and serve chilled.

Irish pool punch

This is a light summer-inspired punch – the perfect braai company for celebrating St Patrick’s Day at the pool with friends. Ingredients: • 750ml Jameson Irish whiskey • 250ml orange juice • 250ml pomegranate juice • 100ml lemon juice • 700ml ginger beer • fresh berries and fruit slices Combine all the ingredients into a punch bowl or a large jug (2,5L), stir and fill with ice. Garnish with slices of orange, fresh raspberries and blueberries.

W

hen two friends (and moms), Lucindi Annandale and Anneke Swanepoel, decided to join forces and start a market, a typical spa day delivered a great partnership and an even better concept. Adults are often amazed by the wonderfully whimsical world children create. A world where just about anything is possible and where the mundane is magical. Lucindi and Anneke’s market gives children, and even young adults, a platform to explore all of this and share it with you. MarkMark’s first market event will be held on 20 and 21 March at Rosemary Hill, just in time for the school holidays.

The exhibitors

This is the perfect punch for a big celebration. The fact that the punch not only tastes great, but also looks interesting, makes this the perfect showstopper party drink.

What makes Mark-Mark so unique is its exhibitors. Entrepreneurs up to the age of 21 are given the opportunity to explore the world of business in a nurturing and friendly environment by becoming an exhibitor at the market. Applications for exhibitors will stay open for as long as possible, so if you or some friends have great ideas, make sure to apply.

Ingredients: • 5 bottles (330ml) hard apple cider • 500ml apple cider or apple juice • 6 cans (440ml) Guinness draught • 500ml Jameson Irish whiskey

The market also provides a wide variety for market-goers with over 50 exhibitors selling anything from art, decor items, drinks, Banting-friendly treats, and lots of delicious cuisine.

The evening before your St Patrick’s Day party, pour three bottles of hard apple cider, as well as the 500ml apple cider or apple juice in a ring (Bundt) pan and freeze overnight for approximately eight to 10 hours until solid.

For fun’s sake

Irish bomb punch

When you are ready to serve, place the frozen apple cider ring in a large punch bowl and pour the Guinness and the two remaining bottles of apple cider into the bowl. Pour the whiskey over the frozen cider as it thaws. For a smaller party, simply divide and conquer.

A range of activities have been planned to keep an array of personalities busy. Various workshops such as a mosaic, sand art and chalk paint workshop, will have the crafty crowd clapping their hands together in joy. For the sporty and restless there are renowned mountain biking routes at the venue. Some curious minds might find a live 3D printing an absolute treat to behold. Clever bookworms have a golden opportunity to exchange a book for R20 with Mark-Mark’s book exchange initiative. The biggest highlight, however, is definitely the cake baking

competition. Not only do you get to have fun in the kitchen, but you also stand a chance to win R500 if your cake wins. All cakes will be donated to a specially selected charity, so even if your cake doesn’t win, the reward is endless.

Eat and drink

With some craft beer for dad, wine for mom, and great activities for kids, you’ll be sure the whole family will be taken care of. The food and entertainment area will have gin and superbly roasted coffee available, as well as old favourites such as The Knickerbocker Ice Cream Company and Taco Kombi making an appearance. Settle down after your shopping excursion to enjoy some live music and a drink to end off your day at Mark-Mark.

Five ingredients for a super school holiday With the Easter school holidays looming, we’ve rounded up what you need to make it a relaxing break for everyone – parents included WORDS: BRIDGET MCNULTY

The great outdoors

Most often, the thing that makes a holiday so different – and so much more exciting – than being at home, is the surroundings. Whether you choose to go inland and stay on a farm next to a dam, or to the coast near the ocean and beach, or up to the mountains with adventure trails to hike, having the great outdoors as your back garden guarantees lots of fun outside (with the added bonus of happily exhausted kids at the end of the day).

Enough space

While it might sound fun to have the whole family crammed into a small cottage for a sleepover, odds are you’re going to appreciate having a bedroom to yourself. So when you’re looking for the perfect getaway, be sure there’s enough space for the whole family to live (comfortably) for the entire holiday.

Plenty of entertainment

IMAGE: ISTOCK

and ball to keep you busy outside, giant puzzles and colouring books. Don’t forget this is your holiday too, and you don’t want to spend it being your child’s one-man-band of entertainment.

A teaspoon of discipline

While it can be tempting to throw all the rules out the window because you’re on holiday, remember that you have to go back to real life once the trip is over, so be kind to your future self. Simple things like still clearing the table, tidying up after yourself, and brushing your teeth at the same time every day, can keep a comforting routine to the day.

A large helping of laughter

Not necessarily DVDs and computer games (although those can be handy emergency tools), but plenty of board games the whole family can play, bat

One of my most vivid childhood holiday memories was being on a roadtrip with my family of six and arriving at a holiday house only to find that there were no bowls. Anywhere. My parents merrily served us soup and cereal in tall drinking glasses and I thought it was fabulous. Don’t sweat the small stuff when you’re on holiday – everything can be a game with the right attitude.

The collectors WORDS: CHRIS REID

howcasing items in your home may seem to some to be irredeemably old-fashioned. As a style of decor it seems too close to having a dowdy cabinet full of Royal Doulton china or a printer’s tray full of tiny tchotchkes on your wall. After all, in the 2000s, we were all encouraged to be minimalists, and leave the collectables to the blue-rinse brigade. With social media, however, we’ve all become curators again. In creating online personae for ourselves, showing that you have exceptional taste is the order of the day. Plus, with the evergrowing prevalence of second-hand and craft markets, it’s become cool again to collect things and display them to show off your taste. To create, as it were, a physical Pinterest in your home. This trend has meant that there is a renewed interest in ways of showing off your collections. Chen Karlsson’s Favourite Things lamp, for example, has space to hold treasured objects so that they can take pride of place

in a room. On the more functional side, systems like Endless Shelving from Massproductions help to define a space, acting as a room divider and storage system. There’s no doubt that the pendulum will eventually swing the other way and collections will again be relegated to the garage, but for now, displaying curated items is a key challenge in decor. The world is increasingly homogenised – we all have the same technology, the same clothes, the same furniture, the same everything – so the appeal of something that’s uniquely personal is perfectly understandable. Keeping the dust off everything, however, is a different story.

L

O & A

ivestock Wealth sells cows online as an alternative method of investment for people who find the stock market complicated. The returns are linked to the beef price instead of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange profits.

Q: How did your business start? A: The business started out when I was once again frustrated with trying to time an entry into the stock market. I was trying to find a way I could save and make my money grow in a way that wouldn’t be affected by factors that I can’t control or change. Owning a farm as an individual proved expensive, but cheaper if there are many of us farming the same thing on the same farm. That is how I came up with the crowd-farming idea. We now farm livestock on behalf of investors and they earn income from the annual sale of their cows’ offspring. Q: Why did you choose this area to set up shop? A: We are based at The Innovation Hub in Pretoria (Lynnwood Manor), but our farming operations are in Vryheid in KwaZulu-Natal. The Innovation Hub is a melting pot of young people with big

ideas under one roof, bringing their businesses to life.

Q: How did you find your premises? A: I introduced myself to McLean Sibanda, the CEO of The Innovation Hub, at a function in 2013 and told him my idea about wanting to create an alternative investment platform that uses cows as a base asset class, instead of shares and bonds. He loved it and suggested I meet him the following week. The rest, as they say, is history. Q: Why are the premises ideally suited to your business? A: The rent is subsidised and the Wi-Fi is free. One also gets exposure to various entrepreneurship forums and expert advice. Q: Who are your neighbours? A: My neighbour is Tour 2.0, a dynamic team that is revolutionising township tourism. We always compare notes at the coffee station and learn a great deal from each other. Q: What are the shop rental/ sales prices like in this area? A: We pay R750 a month for an office that can comfortably accommodate

A budget that respects the public W

hether or not you felt that Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan delivered a successful budget last month, you should be glad of one thing – according to the latest Open Budget Index, South Africa’s budget is the third most transparent in the world. This is an incredible statistic. South Africa ranks behind only New Zealand and Sweden in terms of the information that the government provides to the public about its finances. That places it ahead of the likes of the US, Germany and the UK. four staff members in a secure, aesthetic environment.

A country’s standing in the index is significant because it shows how transparent a government is about revenue collection and spending.

Q: What is your shop footprint? A: A large portion of our business is done online at livestockwealth.com.

The more disclosure there is, the more the media, economists, academics and civil society are able to scrutinise what the government does with public money and hold officials accountable for where it goes.

Q: Do you have any expansion plans? A: We are opening an office in Sandton this month. This will bring us closer to our customers in the Joburg area. Our main expansion is the farmland we are acquiring for livestock. We aim to own farms across South Africa and the continent.

It’s really quite simple. The more the public knows, the more it can engage with trying to improve things. When access to information is restricted, everyone outside of the government is effectively disempowered.

Q: Do you operate online as well? A: Yes, and people without internet can SMS “Cow” and their name to 31022 and we’ll call them back.

In South Africa, the presentation of the budget is a big occasion, and this year it was particularly so. For days leading up to it and for days afterwards, the discussion around the issue was robust. That shows that this is a process that South Africans feel they are involved in.

Q: What’s your most popular item/service? A: The Bonsmara cow.

We could all have our opinions about what was included or excluded, we could praise or lament the introduction of a sugar tax, and we could immediately calculate how much income tax we could expect to pay in the coming year. All of this was possible because the information was available for us to analyse and debate.

It is crucial that we don’t take this for granted. We should not gloss over the fact that despite the many difficulties in the government, the Treasury remains open, accessible and credible.

For a start, this shows that the department takes its work seriously. It understands it obligations.

We should not gloss over the fact that despite the many difficulties in the government, the Treasury remains open, accessible and credible

But, just as importantly, it indicates that it has respect for the public that it is serving. Governments that don’t care about public opinion, don’t tell the public anything. They certainly don’t produce transparent budgets. It is very encouraging that in South Africa we don’t have this problem. Despite the many pressures on it, the Treasury still acts in a way that includes the public in what it does. That must be celebrated, just as much as it must be protected.

Africa Rising to roll out Where South Africans Go passports R1,6bn in developments invest

A

frica Rising, a Durbanbased independent property development company, purchased properties worth R300m from Tongaat Hulett Developments during 2015. It plans to roll out over R1,6bn worth of developments in the Umhlanga Ridge area. Africa Rising has purchased 12 pieces of land from Tongaat Hulett Developments. The properties, recently added to the company’s portfolio, include The Madison, The Marina, Park Avenue, Aria and Jefferson in the Umhlanga Town Centre, and a commercial property at Sibaya.

Four of these are currently under development. The Madison is a mixeduse development that will cater to the medical sector benefitting from its strategic location opposite the Gateway Private Hospital. It comprises 97 apartments and 27 medical suites and is expected to be completed by August this year. It is already 90% sold. Construction has started on Park Avenue, a joint venture which comprises upmarket apartments which are 85% sold. Aria, providing retirement apartments, and Jefferson, providing student accommodation of 300 and 240 units respectively, will launch this year.

On retirement development trends Accommodation for the elderly is increasingly moving away from nursing home-style facilities towards independent living. Sectional title retirement villages are the way to go for senior housing. The involve­ ment of attorneys with extensive sectional title experience from the inception of a new development is, however, essential to ensure that there is the necessary balance between the developers’ objectives and the interests of residents MARINA CONSTAS, DIRECTOR, BBM ATTORNEYS, AND AUTHOR OF DEMYSTIFYING SECTIONAL TITLE

from a list of eight locations, the majority of South Africans chose the UK (36%), the US (34%), and Australia (29%).

The global investment trends survey was commissioned by property investment firm IP Global and conducted by YouGov. Over 1,000 online South African adults were asked what investment assets they held, as well as their preferences and key concerns when it comes to investing in overseas real estate.

Commenting on the results, George Radford, Africa Director, IP Global, says, “The United Kingdom remains a favourite for South African investors who are looking to pockets of value in outer London and to Northern Powerhouse Manchester where property prices are expected to grow by 26,4% between 2016 and 2020. In the United States, Chicago is emerging as a major city to watch with average yields of 7,9%, while in Australia we’re still seeing huge amounts of interest in Melbourne and Brisbane.”

recent survey on where South Africans choose to invest reveals that 28% invest in local property, and 3% in property offshore, while almost half (45%) have no money in any investment assets at all.

When asked to pick where they would consider investing in property abroad

Expropriation Bill gets passed

W

ith all eyes on the budget during the last week of February, the government hurried through the Expropriation Bill. On 23 February, Parliament passed the Expropriation Bill that will allow the state to pay for land at a value determined by a government adjudicator and then expropriate it. This effectively scraps the “willing buyer, willing seller” approach to land reform. Despite the proposed intention of the bill to redress racial disparities in land ownership, there are a number of problematic clauses that make it possible for land to be expropriated unfairly.

Dr Anthea Jeffery, head: policy research, the Institute of Race Relations, says the bill leaves property owners open to massive losses should the government decide to expropriate their homes, land or other property. Now that the bill has been passed by Parliament, it still has to be passed by the National Council of Provinces, after which it will be sent to President Jacob Zuma to be signed into law. “None of these concerns were addressed, and I doubt that the National Council of Provinces will not pass it, so it will be up to the president to make a decision, and given the current focus on land reform in SA, I am fairly certain he will sign,” says Jeffery.

W

ith a growing number of countries vying to attract international property investors, the time is right to do some passport shopping. But, warns James Bowling, CEO and founder, Monarch & Co International, maintaining an investment in a foreign country isn’t the only requirement for residency or citizenship. “Investors can lose their residence or citizenship status if they don’t meet other requirements, such as a minimum stay,” says Bowling. For example, the UK requires investors to make the country their primary residence by spending at least 50% of their time there, while Malta residence holders can’t spend more than 183 days a year in another jurisdiction. When it comes to the perks such as free education and health care, the rules are different for citizens and residents. Residency holders are entitled to receive free state education only in the country of residency, and should always be covered by comprehensive international health insurance. In Portugal, however, you need to be a citizen contributing to social security as a taxpayer living and working in Portugal to qualify for free health care and education, according to Chris Immelman, MD, Pam Golding Properties International and Projects Division. He says residency doesn’t provide holders with free health care or education, though they have access to it. China doesn’t acknowledge dual citizenship, so investors would have to sacrifice their current one. “SA recognises dual citizenship, so our investors don’t have to worry,” says Bowling.

About the area WORDS: LISA DEWBERRY

T

he picturesque village of Irene with an abundance of greenery provides countrystyle living close to the city between the R21 and N1 highways in Centurion. Large properties with stone walls covered in wisteria, characterise this area which has a farm feeling, reminiscent of an old English village. Irene has a unique sense of community and although it is not a security complex, residents feel reasonably safe due to the road closure of the suburb five years ago. They can be seen walking their dogs to the Oval and cycling on the streets into the evenings. Irene is rich in heritage and the Irene Dairy Farm, bought by Johannes Albertus van der Byl in 1896, is an integral part of the suburb. The farm is well-known across the country for being one of the last few working dairy farms still producing certified raw milk. Residents can take a walk through the leafy suburb to the farm for fresh dairy products and enjoy a bite to eat at The Barn or The Deck restaurants.

A range of top schools offering quality education are conveniently located in the area including Irene Primary School, Irene Middle Farm School, Irene Pre-Primary School, and Cornwall Hill College. Irene Village Mall and Southdowns Shopping Centre are among popular outdoor shopping centres providing a relaxed environment to find everyday essentials. There are many cultural and historical buildings creating the rich heritage of Irene including the Old Post Office, Train Station and Smuts House Museum. Irene also has its own town hall, the Irene Village Hall, given to the community by the Van der Byl family in the 1920s. It is home to the Irene Country Club, one of the oldest golf courses in the country conceived by Johannes van der Byl in 1911. This scenic suburb is a peaceful retreat to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Concerts, exhibitions, high teas and flower shows are often held by community members at this hall.

I love living in Irene as the people in this suburb really care about each other. Irene has interesting events including the Irene Village Market at Smuts House Museum twice a month, which includes a tea garden, stalls with food, arts and crafts, flowers and curios. Irene is a special place and residents are proud to stay here CHRISTA SPOELSTRA, RESIDENT

THINGS TO DO • Get certified raw milk at the Irene Dairy Farm • Play golf at Irene Country Club • Attend Irene Village Market at Smuts House Museum
