Under new leadership, Kanu Wines have<br />
entered a new era of winemaking. While<br />
this naturally comes with plenty of change,<br />
our owners are committed to one very<br />
important value that has always stood<br />
the test of time at Kanu: every bountiful<br />
harvest will be utilised in such a way that it<br />
delivers amazing flavours and aromas that<br />
are true to the area of Stellenbosch and the<br />
wonderful Polkadraai Hills.<br />
Since 1692, the soil on which Kanu stands<br />
has produced some of the finest wine in<br />
the area and we look forward to continuing<br />
the legacy of this renowned area.<br />

The name Kanu is from a legend told by<br />
an old Xhosa man who was raised in his<br />
grandmother’s house on the soil of the<br />
farm that is located in the Polkadraai Hills<br />
of Stellenbosch.<br />
Every day, he would tell stories of the<br />
mythical bird he had seen flying over<br />
the farm. According to him, if the bird’s<br />
shadow touches your crop, you are<br />
promised a bountiful year’s harvest.<br />
And, with the Kanu name, comes the<br />
Kanu promise: that each wine made by<br />
Kanu, no matter the price point, is made<br />
in such a way that it will always deliver on<br />
quality and flavour.<br />

CAMPING IN SOUTH AFRICA<br />
HAS NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITING<br />
Camping in South Africa has been a South<br />
African summer mainstay for ages. And with<br />
people looking to connect with nature and<br />
take some Insta-worthy snaps, camping is<br />
the best option.<br />
South Africans have been using this pastime<br />
to explore the country, gain new and different<br />
experiences, and enjoy themselves and<br />
relax. But don’t just think cold mornings<br />
with potjies on the fire and lazy afternoons<br />
under the sun. Camping in South Africa<br />
has evolved, with music and arts festivals<br />
incorporating the tradition into their events,<br />
and businesses catering for luxury camping<br />
in the wildnerness.<br />
Here are a few affordable camping ideas<br />
that can be tailored for your pocket.<br />
Camping Khapela<br />
If you prefer camping with convenience,<br />
Camping Khapela offers a full-service<br />
camping experience with tents, inflatable<br />
beds, dinner, lunch, breakfast, security and<br />
campsite maintenance. Born from the idea<br />
that not many middle and upper-middle<br />
class black people camp in South Africa, its<br />
founder, Karabo Sepharatla, built a package<br />
around his love for people, camping, travel<br />
and South Africa.<br />
Claiming to offer the ultimate in camping<br />
experiences, the Soweto-based company<br />
helps with hiking, music festivals, and private<br />
and public getaways. Travelling is easy,<br />
accessible, affordable and doable. It’s your<br />
country enjoy it!<br />
Camping Khapela makes camping accessible<br />
and provides South Africans the opportunity<br />
to experience the country’s out-of-thisworld<br />
holiday destinations with family and<br />
friends. All you really need to do is just turn<br />
up. The tents and potjiekos will be set up<br />
when you arrive. If you want to find out<br />
more information about Camping Khapela,<br />
feel free to visit their website on<br />
www.campingkhapela.com<br />
Rocking the Daisies<br />
For its fourteenth year running, Rocking<br />
the Daisies is bringing together the best of<br />
international and local musical talent. But<br />
this year’s line-up promises to be something<br />
special with UK pop sensation The 1975, US<br />
rapper Russ, and Australian one-person band<br />
Tash Sultana, looking to rock the Western<br />
Cape from 4-6 October.<br />
The camping facilities have never been better<br />
and if you’re planning to camp you will need<br />
to buy a camping pass. Camping passes will<br />
be available to festival ticket holders only.<br />
Once you have bought your festival ticket<br />
you will be able to book your camping pass.<br />
With three campsites – general camping,<br />
priority camping and the ladies camping –<br />
prices range from R225 to R525. Organisers<br />
encourage concertgoers to get their camp<br />
passes early; the sooner you get it, the closer<br />
you will be to the festival entrance and<br />
main arena.<br />
www.shotleft.co.za
If you want to camp without the fuss,<br />
Daisyland is the event’s luxury tented<br />
accommodation, with tents already set up<br />
for two people when you arrive at the event.<br />
No matter where you travel from, drive<br />
down to Rocking the Daisies, and make it an<br />
unforgettable road trip. For more information,<br />

AfrikaBurn<br />
If you wish to plan way in advance, why<br />
not take a trip to next year’s AfrikaBurn.<br />
For one week each year, the savannah of the<br />
Karoo is turned into Tankwa Town, a vibrant<br />
temporary hub of creativity, where thousands<br />
of South Africans gather for AfrikaBurn.<br />
Participants are encouraged to create camps,<br />
themed to your choice. “Your camp can<br />
be tiny, it can be enough for two or three<br />
guests at a time, or a dozen, or it could go<br />
full massive and be large enough to handle<br />
hundreds of people – no matter the size it’s<br />
all welcome, and we suggest you try and<br />
tackle a camp that suits your crew size, and<br />
your resources,” say organisers.<br />
But AfrikaBurn doesn’t give you the licence<br />
to laze about in the sun. Every person who<br />
attends the event needs to create something.<br />
Anything. Unbound creativity, and clean up<br />
before you leave, are the only rules of the<br />
festival. It is a great way to get outdoors –<br />
experience the Karoo – while gaining new<br />
perspectives.<br />
Based on The Burning Man festival held<br />
in Nevada in the US, AfrikaBurn grew<br />
out of a loose grouping of individuals<br />
and organisations who questioned, and<br />
continue to question mainstream, highly<br />
commercialised society and what it does<br />
to the notion and workings of community.<br />
In a nutshell, it’s about radical selfexpression<br />
and it acts as a collaborative<br />
catalyst for change. Find out more at<br />
www.afrikaburn.com<br />

great deals on your next Sho’t Left.<br />

The World Heritage Committee, meeting in Manama under<br />
the chair of Shaikha Haya Bint Rashed al-Khalifa of Bahrain,<br />
inscribed the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountainlans as a World<br />
Heritage site on July 2, 2018.<br />
The Barberton Makhonjwa Mountainlans is situated in<br />
Mpumalanga Province which is in the north-eastern part<br />
of South Africa. The site comprises 40% of the Barberton<br />
Greenstone Belt, one of the world’s oldest geological structures.<br />
It represents the best-preserved succession of volcanic and<br />
sedimentary rock dating back 3.6 to 3.25 billion years, when<br />
the first continents were starting to form on the primitive Earth.<br />
It also features meteor-impact fallback breccias resulting<br />
from the impact of meteorites formed just after the Great<br />
Bombardment (4.6 to 3.8 billion years ago).<br />
“As the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) this<br />
affords us an opportunity to add more to the variety of product<br />
offerings in the province”, said Mr Johannes Nobunga, CEO of<br />
MTPA.<br />
“As we continue to promote the destination, our marketing<br />
efforts will also go a long way in creating awareness in our<br />
local communities and the world at large about this unique<br />
tourism offering and what it means for the province”, added<br />
Nobunga.<br />
Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains becomes South Africa’s 10th<br />
World Heritage site, and the first for Mpumalanga. This iconic<br />
site will now be granted access to funds from the World Heritage<br />
Fund to use for conservation which is likely to increase tourism<br />
in the area.<br />
“We are delighted with this achievement as a province. We<br />
have had a dedicated team that worked tirelessly for years to<br />
see this dream realized. We are grateful for their hard work in<br />
putting Mpumalanga on a global map. It is our responsibility to<br />
ensure that we work together with the communities to protect<br />
the integrity and the authenticity of this natural property”,<br />
concluded Nobunga.

SUBSCRIPTION<br />
The My Smart Kid programme produces thinkers and for this<br />
reason we are offering boxes that facilitate learning in the<br />
areas of Maths, Language and Life Skills in grade 1.<br />
Grade 1<br />
Each Smart Box is an assortment of learning tools, games and<br />
products that reinforce skills being learned in the first year of<br />
primary school with the added benefit that your child will learn<br />
while having fun with you. Each of the 3 subject boxes contains<br />
a Parent Guide to explain the purpose of the contents of the<br />
box with great ideas and fun activities. This is not subscriptionbased<br />
so parents can buy a box that can be used for the entire<br />
year and beyond. It’s a keeper!<br />
See website for pricing<br />
These boxes have been recently launched and can be purchased separately or<br />
in addition to the grade 1 boxes. The Life Skills Box will help your child make<br />
well-informed, healthy choices and learn behaviours that contribute to their safety<br />
and well-being. This box will help parents guide and prepare their child for life<br />
and all its wonderful, yet sometimes scary, possibilities.<br />
Grade 2<br />
In grade 2 mathematics, your child will start to understand more complicated<br />
concepts and look for reasons behind things by asking questions to obtain more<br />
information. The Maths Box will assist with growing their thinking and problemsolving<br />
skills as they start to understand how mathematics relates to other<br />
subjects and to the world around them.<br />
The Language Box is aimed at taking the frustration out of helping your child learn<br />
english language skills during their second year at school. Inside this box are<br />
carefully selected products that reinforce listening, reading, speaking and writing<br />
skills through practice, play and quality time with a parent.<br />
