ave you ever painted a wall or building? It’s amazing how a lick of paint can instantly uplift a space. A while ago I helped my sister redecorate her bedroom, and we had a lot of fun painting the walls.
Recently I came across a project that sounds as incredible on a larger scale. It’s a new worldwide community project that was launched by colour and paint expert Annie Sloan. The idea is to transform local community buildings with her paint and decor accessories. You nominate a building in your area that you think needs a new lease of life (like a school hall, library, or community centre), and put forward your reasons for your nomination before the end of the month.
Then 25 buildings will be chosen and announced at the beginning of next month and given a mini makeover. Now that’s something inspiring – colouring buildings in need. With 92 out of the 1,500 paint stockists being in South Africa, many buildings stand a chance to be revived. Go to anniesloan. com/25project to vote for a building you believe needs painting.

estled in the heart of picturesque Waterkloof, on the corner of Milner Street and Long Avenue, Meet on Milner has an elegant charm with an inviting ambience. Owner Yente Pienaar opened this homely, yet stylish, restaurant in 2013. It offers a choice between street-side dining or dining in one of the two large intimate inside sections, each with its own bar.

topped with honey, thyme almonds and lemon zest. The quality and taste of Meet on Milner’s dishes is impressive and will have you coming back for more.
For starters, I recommend the artichoke fritters served with honey, thyme and pecorino, or try the Spicy Diablos made with dates, jalapenos and soft white cheese wrapped in bacon.
The Meet on Milner team go to great lengths to ensure your experience is memorable and are committed to serving only the finest and freshest food.
Meet on Milner’s low lighting creates an inviting, romantic atmosphere. The grey walls are adorned with framed Italian prints. There are also lamps with classic-style lampshades, and linen tablecloths on each table. Bigband music playing in the background transports you to an olden-day era.
For mains, try the Dijon fillet – Meet on Milner’s signature dish accompanied with zucchini chips – or try a generous portion of Thai green chicken curry with fine green beans, toasted almonds and coriander, and served with basmati rice.
The menu delivers home-grown, organic, simple dishes that are complimented
Round off your meal with the chocolatey, melt-in-your-mouth Milner Mousse, or indulge in the Chilli-Chocolate Spring Rolls served with vanilla ice cream
The restaurant also hosts street fair markets with live music offering plenty of fun – the perfect occasion to meet up with friends and family.

Something’s a brew Hazeldean Brewing Company is brewing up a storm WORDS: RITA-MARI LUDIKE IMAGES: DENIELLE JANSE VAN RENSBURG
Wine not? Get your wine on at Fijnwyn Wine and Food Festival WORDS: RITA-MARI LUDIKE
H
azeldean Brewing Company is a new microbrewery situated in Pretoria East at the popular Cowhouse Market. Inspired by the heritage that surrounds the Hazeldean Farm, the company has built its brand on a sturdy foundation and topped it with loads of inspiring creativity and friendships. We chatted to Marius Botha and his wife and right-hand woman, Evelyn, about their new venture.
The brains
Marius, the founder and owner, has been brewing beer at home for four years. When he isn’t brewing beer he visits local and international breweries. He started as a hobbyist brewing 20L batches in his garage to enjoy with friends and family. This was until he got the opportunity to start selling his beer at the Cowhouse Market. A mechanical engineer with an immense passion for beer, Marius left his job to pursue his dream of brewing on a larger scale. After having a mere three months to get his business running while working full time, it has been six months since he poured the first beer last October.
The beer
Hazeldean Brewing Company boasts four unique beers created by Marius with the help of brewmaster Apiwe Nxusani-Mawela from Brewhogs. Hazeldean Brewing Company’s first beer is the malty, medium-bitter

he seventh annual Fijnwyn Wine and Food Festival – Lucky No.7 – is upon us, and it promises to be one to remember. Hosted at Shokran Events Venue, the festival has become increasingly popular and is considered one of Pretoria’s most popular wine events. Fijnwyn prides itself on only inviting the best-quality vendors to participate – from the big names to the smaller brands – all promising to wow you.
Vienna Lager, which is a favourite among marketgoers. The Vienna Lager was also awarded a top-15 spot in the 2015 SAB Craft Championships. The second beer is a spin on the wellknown IPA – the company created an India Pale Pilsner, a hoppy beer that doesn’t conform to usual beer styles. Then there is the Traditional Weissbier, a Bavarian-style wheat beer with moderately spicy clove and banana notes. The latest beer addition to the repertoire is the Premium Pilsner, a refined Pilsner with Indian Pale Pilsner roots.
The venue
Pretoria East is home to Shokran Events Venue, a beautiful Moroccan-inspired venue admired for its tranquil farm setting and its hospitality. The venue is nestled between pecan nut and almond plantations, as well as indigenous trees, lush green lawns and farmstyle stoeps.
Marius also features a beer from a specially selected local guest brewer every month. For marketgoers who aren’t keen on beer, there is a Rooibos Wooded Cider from Windermere on offer. Make sure to try out the popular radler, a drink with a long history in German-speaking regions and is similar to a beer shandy. Hazeldean Brewing Company’s Radler is made with Marius’s Pilsner and Evelyn’s home-made lemonade.
Finer details
The festival takes place at the Shokran Events Venue on 30 April and 1 May. Make sure to have a look at the new Fijnwyn “In Style” tickets which give you access to an exclusive area in the Fijnwyn tent with reserved tables (tickets include entrance, tasting glasses, picnic boxes, table wine and a waiter). Gates open at 10am and close at 6pm. There will only be a limited number of tickets at the gate, so pre-booking is essential. Buy your tickets online at iTickets (itickets.co.za/events/356107).

earn to distinguish your deep-dish from your calzone with our pizza guide.
Neapolitan
Most likely where modern-day pizza comes from, Neapolitan originated in Naples and was served without cheese. Over time, however, it morphed into what we now know as the margherita pizza.
Marinara
Dating back to the 18th century, the marinara is your basic flat dough bread with oil, tomato, garlic and oregano. It is known in particular for its lack of cheese.
Margherita
Just over a century old, the pizza margherita was named after Queen Margherita, who was the first queen of Italy. Its toppings traditionally include tomato, mozzarella and basil – representing the colours of the Italian flag.
IMAGES: ISTOCK
Lahme Bi Ajeen
Literally meaning “meat with dough”, this Lebanese dish is made with minced onions, usually ground lamb, cumin and yoghurt, and dates back to the 15th century.
Calzone
Meaning stocking in Italian, the calzone is made from dough stuffed with “toppings” and then folded over to form a semi-circle.
Deep-dish pizza
Hailing from Chicago, the deep dish pizza, aka the Chicago deep-dish, is known for its deep edge that allows for the piling up of ingredients on its base. Though unlike most pizzas, this one is best enjoyed with a knife and fork.
Gourmet pizzas
Known for its untraditional toppings, the gourmet pizza is all about being adventurous and pairing ingredients that you wouldn’t typically think to put together, like fig and brie.

Tech-ed out Here are the biggest technology trends in South Africa WORDS: CHARIS LE RICHE
IMAGE: ISTOCK
N
eighbourhood gives you the lowdown on big technology trends you need to keep an eye out for this year.
Virtual reality
We’ve had Smart TVs, 3-D TVs, 4-DX cinemas, and now 2016 sees the rise of virtual reality. Virtual reality has always been the ultimate goal in entertainment, and this year major strides have been made in this direction with big companies releasing virtual reality headsets. Perhaps sitting in front of a screen to watch a movie or play a video game will soon be as outdated as the VCR.
Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services
With FTTH services coming to homes in Gauteng and the Western Cape, South Africa’s access to high-speed internet is allowing us to access information in split seconds. This means that video streaming and downloading will be faster than ever before.
Internet streaming channels
Over the past few years, we’ve seen more and more internet streaming channels coming to South Africa. This is giving traditional broadcasters a run for their money as it often offers better content that can be viewed at your convenience. For a generation that wants everything on demand, this is a major benefit that most broadcasters can’t compete with.
The rise of the gamer
Gone are the days when gamers were seen as outcasts and nerds – today, they’re superstars. International gaming tournaments can fetch the winners millions of dollars. People from around the world live stream these games to see their favourite clans battling it out, and often bet on the outcome. In South Africa, we have the Telkom Digital Gaming League which is the country’s largest and most recognised online competitive gaming league.
Wearable tech
Though available in most places already, wearable technology, such as smart glasses and the iWatch, has been slow to take off. However, this doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a place in our everyday lives. Overseas, wearable tech has been earmarked as a possible business tool, especially when you aren’t based in an office at a desk. In South Africa, a health insurance company tracks members’ activity with the use of the iWatch, and in turn rewards them with points.
Control your home from your pocket Control4 Home Automation delivers power and performance on one platform that coordinates the technology in your house into complete, brilliant experiences. With one touch, dim the lights, stream high-resolution music, turn up the heat, lock the doors and arm the security system. It’s a smarter living experience that you’ll wonder how you ever lived without. We call it, the New Normal.

he formal dining room is on its way to becoming a thing of the past. For many people the space represents a suburban ideal that just doesn’t resonate with how we live today. For one thing, people often live in smaller homes with no space for a dining room (or could find better use for the space: from home offices to rooms for additional family members).
Kitchen living WORDS: CHRIS REID
•
Additionally, most of us eat more meals in front of the TV or at the kitchen counter anyway. Nigella Lawson recently got some flak for admitting that her bedside table is stocked with condiments because of her propensity to eat in bed, but surely most of us aren’t that far behind?
IMAGE: ALPINE GERMAN KITCHENS
As a response to this trend, we’re seeing the so-called eat-in kitchen as a focus in interior design. This means that the emphasis is on cooking and sharing food in the same space, with elements like kitchen islands being designed with open sides to allow for seating right where the action is. Alternatively, as in the Cape Town kitchen designed by Alpine German Kitchens, counters are also being extended to include an integrated dining area. While this is not necessarily a new phenomenon – kitchen tables and breakfast nooks have been included in homes for a long time – making them the primary dining experience in a home is.
SEE FOR YOURSELF: Alpine German Kitchens agk.co.za
This shift towards a more integrated eating and dining experience is more in line with how we live today, and mirrors the restaurant trend towards open kitchens. Watching your food being prepared when you eat out is part of the experience, so having a separate dining room is no longer on the menu.

My business neighbourhood We speak to Ntshantsha Tafeni–Majombozi about her business, Yivani Naturals, at the Workshop in Newtown WORDS: GEORGINA GUEDES IMAGES: SUPPLIED & CHRIS SAUNDERS
Y
ivani Naturals is a skincare company that makes use of natural ingredients from indigenous South African herbs. Founder Ntshantsha Tafeni–Majombozi originally sold her products through cosmetic shops and health spas, but has in the last year begun opening a series of stores around Joburg – and the business just keeps growing.
O & A
Q: How did your business start? A: My grandmother used natural herbs for the treatment of minor ailments. When I was growing up I lost interest in her remedies, but later, I decided to try to identify why black people are losing their traditional herbal wisdom. This led to me and Bulelwa Mapongwana to come up with the Yivani Naturals concept in 2009 to overcome the stigma attached to traditional healing. We launched the business in 2011 with funding from my own pocket. In the last year, we have opened stores in 27Boxes in Melville and then at the Workshop in Newtown. Q: Why did you choose this area to set up shop? A: Newtown has a cultural traditional history, and we wanted to be part of that vibe. We have a product that takes people down memory lane, and the use of natural herbs fitted in perfectly with the history of the area. Q: How did you find your premises? A: We were attracted by the idea of the Workshop, so we discussed with them which space would best suit our needs. Q: Why are the premises ideally suited to your business? A: We loved the concept of the Watershed in Cape Town, which promotes small, proudly South African businesses, and the people

The most expensive addresses in South Africa Where only a handful of sales topped the R20m price mark five years ago, there are today no fewer than 22 of the country’s residential streets where this is now the average sales price. Prices in these streets now regularly top the R20m price mark and range to as much as R100m in Sandton and R200m to R350m on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, according to Samuel Seeff, chairman, Seeff property group.
Based on a study of Lightstone and Propstats data undertaken by the Seeff property group, the Cape property market is literally streets ahead of the rest of the country with no less than 15 of these streets – nine on the Atlantic Seaboard (Clifton, Fresnaye and Bantry Bay) and six in the Southern Suburbs (Bishopscourt and Constantia). The remaining seven streets are in the Joburg and Sandton suburbs of
Sandhurst, Hyde Park and Bryanston. “So, if you are looking for the most exclusive address in the country, make it one of these top-ranked streets,” says Seeff. “By investing here, your property is surrounded by some of the most valuable residential real estate in the country, and, based on history, property values are likely to continue appreciating at inflation-topping rates.”
Real estate in the affordable housing sector
Analyse it PATRICK CAIRNS
Facts on hedge funds
Currently there are offices and agents within the RE/MAX brand that do sell homes that fall within the affordable housing band. However, it is an area that can grow immensely. Considering the vast amount of South Africans who fall into this segment of the market, we are merely scratching the surface in this sector of the market.”
F
rom this year ordinary investors in South Africa have been given the opportunity to add another tool to their portfolios. New regulations have introduced the concept of retail hedge funds to the market, allowing investors to access these funds in the same way that they currently do with unit trusts.
AMANDA CUBA, NEWLY APPOINTED CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, RE/MAX OF SOUTHERN AFRICA
Coastal cool “I
n the popular coastal resorts on the Garden Route, you’ll generally find that you can cover a fair percentage of your expenses by renting the property out as a vacation home for as little as 18 weeks a year, which means you also have plenty of time to enjoy your home with friends and family,” says Ling Dobson, area principal, Pam Golding Properties Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. In KwaZulu-Natal, Gareth Bailey, principal, Tyson Properties Umhlanga, says, “Although there is still a level of
interest in purchasing holiday homes or investments, this has lessened.” However, Myles Wakefield, CEO, Wakefields Real Estate, says, “New coastal developments coming off the drawing board are undoubtedly energising the North Coast market, with keen interest from local, national and international buyers.” This will no doubt boost the oppor tunities for the holiday rental market. “There’s a steady demand for properties which, aside from sea views, breezes
Hedge funds have been operating in the country since the early 2000s, but until now they have really only served life companies, pension funds and high-net-worth individuals who can afford to invest a few million at a time. With the introduction of retail hedge funds, however, they are now going to be available to anyone.
and indigenous coastal vegetation, capitalise on the great sense of space this coastline provides.” In the Eastern Cape, Michael Wilmot, area principal, Pam Golding Properties, Kenton-on-Sea, believes Kenton is hot property. “The magnificent coastline with its three Blue Flag beaches, flanked by the Bushman’s and the Kariega rivers, plus Big Five game reserves, make it the perfect bush-beach lifestyle for holiday-makers and residents. Every single rental property in our stock was rented out this past season.”
The first thing to understand about local hedge funds is that, for the most part, they are not the sort of weird and wonderful products that make the news in other parts of the world. The South African industry is quite conservative and uses only a few basic strategies. The main concern for most local managers is to use hedging techniques to protect against big losses. The best illustration of this is that during the 2008 market crash, the majority of local hedge funds significantly outperformed the JSE. In a year when the All Share Index lost 23%, many hedge funds actually delivered positive returns.
The Reit sector to consider role in political change
T
he chairman of the South African Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) Association, Laurence Rapp, has accepted a challenge to consider what role this sector can play in ushering in new leadership. Addressing the South African Reit Conference in Sandton in March, Reuel Khoza, chairman, Aka Capital, said South African business had to consider its role in driving change in South Africa.
“We are as much cursed with a spell of leadership famine or blessed with the feast of leadership. The choice is ours. We can develop and unleash the talent that is all around, or allow it to wither on the vine and continue lamenting the paucity of leadership in South Africa,” says Khoza. Khoza challenged South Africa’s business leaders to do what they could to challenge the current regime and to support a generation of new leaders. “Nobody is predetermined to
be our leader in spite of everything. This requires an understanding that in the final analysis, the citizen is responsible for its own future. The crossroads South Africa faces, demand resolutions,” he says. Rapp says the Reit sector should take these words to heart. “We heard a business leader speak so frankly about the need for dramatic change and the role that business has to play in driving that change. We in the Reit sector need to consider our role.”
When considering the sale of an investment property, as with any investment, assess your position annually. If you see an aspect of your investment deteriorating and unlikely to reverse itself — perhaps rents are falling or quality tenants are becoming harder to find — and it is threatening to turn your cash-flow positive investment into a cash-flow negative one, it is time to disinvest. Then you need to begin your homework again, and find an area that is on the way up, investigate and reinvest. MYLES WAKEFIELD, CEO, WAKEFIELDS REAL ESTATE
Most of them are therefore not the kinds of risky investments that try to make 30% or 40% every year. They rather aim to deliver stable returns that will be fairly predictable, whether the market is up or down. That is something that every investor should want to hear.
Research from Novare, which launched the first retail funds of hedge funds in February, shows that allocating 10% to 20% of a portfolio to hedge funds significantly lowers risk without reducing returns
There are, however, a few things that anyone looking at these products should be aware of. The first is that retail hedge funds may not be as liquid as unit trusts. Where money in a unit trust can be accessed in a few days, withdrawals from hedge funds could take up to a month. Hedge funds may also require fairly large initial investments. The first retail products need a minimum lump sum of R50,000. Finally, the best way for investors to get into hedge funds will probably be through funds of hedge funds that blend a selection of managers and funds together. This not only reduces the risk of trying to pick the right products, but also means you will get a broad selection of the best of what is available.

About the area WORDS: LISA DEWBERRY
G
arsfontein, a family-friendly suburb south east of Pretoria’s city centre, is known for its community spirit, established houses and an abundance of plant life providing a tranquil setting to call home. The suburb is located between January Masilela Drive and Mendelssohn Street to the west, Atterbury Road to the north and east and Marlin Street in the south. Residents are actively involved in managing Garsfontein through the Garsfontein Community Policing Forum and the Garscom residents’ association, which focus on council and environmental issues, crime reports, community patrols and social activities such as family fun days, Christmas markets and garden competitions. Top schools conveniently located in the area include Hoërskool Garsfontein, Laerskool Garsfontein, Glen Play Centre and Pre-Primary School, and Glenstantia Primary School. Garsfontein has many beautiful parks, including Zita Park with its splash pool, jungle gyms and coffee shop, perfect for parents wanting
to entertain children. Jimmy Aves, Great Dane and Borzoi parks provide a peaceful retreat for residents. Popular shopping centres in Garsfontein are Atterbury Value Mart, Garsfontein Village Shopping Centre and Woodhill Park Centre. If you want to enjoy a bite to eat, Jo Mexican, Ocean Basket, Golden Eagle Spur and Cafe Georges are among the restaurants the area has to offer. Quality medical care is available on residents’ doorsteps with Life Faerie Glen Hospital and Netcare Pretoria East Hospital nearby. Virgin Active Menlyn in Garsfontein offers the necessary cardio exercise, weight training and specialised fitness programmes. The central location of this suburb, with access to major routes such as the N1 highway, as well as the variety of properties make Garsfontein a convenient suburb to live in. If you want to stay in a peaceful area, away from stressful city life, with active residents, a scenic environment and enjoyable shopping, choose Garsfontein as your home.
TOP SCHOOLS: • Kiddies Academy Nursery School • Glen Play Centre and Pre-Primary School • Snipper-Snip Kleuterskool and Creche • Noddyland Nursery School • Happy Hours Nursery School • Laerskool Garsfontein • Glenstantia Primary School • Hoërskool Garsfontein
I love living in Garsfontein as it is a beautiful suburb with friendly residents, many scenic parks, great schools and top medical facilities. Residents are actively involved in the residents’ association of the suburb which focuses on safety, council and environmental issues, as well as wonderful social activities such as family fun days, occasional art and craft markets, and garden competitions.
BEST IN FOOD: • Get a taste of Mexican at Jo Mexican. • Enjoy tea and cake at Cafe Georges. • Have delicious seafood at Ocean Basket.
YOLANDIE VAN DEN BERG, RESIDENT OF GARSFONTEIN FOR SEVEN YEARS
Agent commentary Q: Who is buying property in Garsfontein, and what types of properties are available? A: Garsfontein offers a wide variety of townhouses, bigger homes, duets and commercial properties. It is a versatile area that caters to newlyweds, as well as families with children, while also offering peace and relaxation for elderly couples. Family homes with an additional flat are widely popular for families who wish to accommodate elderly parents. The development of Menlyn Maine has led to an increase in properties being subdivided, as the density ratios in the area skyrocketed. In addition, property prices in Garsfontein have also increased, since the area is populated with houses that bring excellent value for money.
Q: What attracts buyers to the area? A: Garsfontein is in a well-located area in the east of Pretoria. This suburb has many facilities including entertainment, topclass restaurants, public parks, recreation and sports complexes such as Virgin Active. Schools are within easy reach and in some cases within walking distance from your home. There are a number of hospitals close to Garsfontein, as well as other medical facilities, day-care clinics and doctors’ practices. The malls are also close by. With national roads within a 2km radius, there is quick access to most destinations around Pretoria. The N4, R21 and the N1 highway interchanges are very easy to reach.
Q: What can buyers expect to pay for property in Garsfontein? A: Garsfontein was, is, and will always be, a very prominent neighbourhood in Pretoria East. The following properties were sold in the last 12 months: 20 estate properties at an average of R1,565m, 136 freehold properties at an average of R1,593,m, and 173 sectional scheme properties at an average of R981,000. This means a total transfer of 329 properties at an average price of R1,269,m. If anyone wants to buy a property, good advice is to establish the right selling price of a property by obtaining an independent bank valuation, to eliminate the seller’s fear of underselling and the buyer’s fear of overpaying.
