A trio of terrific reads for November 

The long awaited sequel 

to A Handmaid’s Tale 

In A Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret 

Atwood envisioned a world in which 

the US had become Gilead, a totalitarian 

world ruled by Commanders 

in which women were totally subservient. 

Told by one handmaid, Offred, 

it describes how women are forbidden 

to learn to read or write and are 

solely there to serve men in all ways, 

including sexually. The sequel, The 

Testaments, is set 15 years later and 

is told by three women – Aunt Lydia, 

a trainer and manager of handmaids, 

and two of Offred’s daughters, 

Agnes, who became the privileged 

child of an elite family, and Nicola, 

who was smuggled out to Canada. 

Resistance is growing in Gilead and 

Lydia is plotting its downfall... At a 

time when women are increasingly 

protesting against femicide, rape, 

unequal pay and often worse injustices 

at the hands of men, this book 

hits an extremely sensitive nerve. 

Chatto & Windus, R360. 

Secrets. Affairs. Revenge. 

It’s all going on in the 

suburbs ... where everyone 

has something to hide 

Shari Lapena’s Someone We Know 

is set in a small suburb, where 

everyone is polite and friendly and 

neighbourly. When newcomers arrive 

in town – a handsome man and 

his extraordinarily attractive wife – 

the main conversation appears to be 

how much of a flirt she is with the 

men in the area. Then she’s found 

murdered, and more than one man 

is ‘a person of interest’ to the police. 

At the same time, a family’s teenage 

son has been breaking into some 

of the houses ... not to steal, but to 

practise his fairly impressive computer 

hacking skills. With secrets and 

affairs and revenge, Lapena keeps 

you guessing until the very end. 

Penguin, R290. 

Chosen as one of the best 

thrillers of summer, this 

legal thriller is exceptional 

They were a perfectly ordinary family. 

Interesting jobs. Yoga, basketball 

and trips to the library. Takeout on 

Fridays in front of the telly and a 

bottle of wine with their friends. 

Until the murder. Chosen as one 

of the best thrillers of the summer 

by the New York Times, A Nearly 

Normal Family is M. T. Edvardsson’s 

psychological, legal thriller that asks 

what would you do if your daughter 

was suspected of murder? How far 

would you go to protect her? Would 

you believe her, or the evidence 

against her? The father believes 

his daughter has been framed. The 

mother believes she’s hiding something. 

And the daughter believes 

they have no idea what she’s truly 

capable of. Could. Not. Put it down! 

Brilliant. Macmallan, R299.

Wish list 

Make the most of the blue skies ... 

Prohibition Blue Gin ... 

coming to a cocktail 

near you 

It’s not just the blue we fancy in 

the newly released Prohibition 

Blue Gin. It’s also the way that 

with certain mixers, it changes 

to pink. Magic gin! So if you’re 

in the mood for a pink drink, a 

dash of tonic water or lemon 

changes the PH balance and 

the blue changes to a sparkling 

pink. This Silver Creek Craft 

Distillery gin gets its striking 

blue colour from the flower 

of the Blue Pea (so it’s 100 per 

cent natural) and is infused with 

juniper as well as coriander, 

lemon, angelica, cinnamon and 

a dash of rose water. Try it in 

your fave cocktail … or spruce 

it up with apples and thyme 

(delish!). You can buy it for R369 

online at Takealot.com and in 

major bottle stores. Oh … a 

little extra info … in traditional 

medicine, the Blue Pea flower – 

Clitoria Tetnatea – is said to have 

aphrodisiac and antioxidant 

powers, among other lifeenhancing 

properties. Details: 

www.silvercreekdistillery.co.za. 

You can certainly complete your sassy look with these uber 

chic wood painted earrings from LumainKie (based 

in Randfontein but courier is an option). In addition 

to being stylish, these handmade earrings are 

lightweight and so comfy. Get them R85. Oh … 

and they can 

make a great gift as well! Details: 

Lumain on 071 254 0699, Facebook, LumainKie 

Leather Accessories 

or Instagram, lumainkie.

Ice cream anyone? 

If the answer’s ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ then grab 

a copy of Jude’s Ice Cream & Desserts. 

From simple, refreshing treats (orange 

lollies) and sorbets like mango and 

passion fruit or summer peach, to 

fluffy buttermilk pancakes with 

roasted apple, toasted oats and 

ice cream, there’s a temptation 

on every page – dig in and enjoy! 

The many ice cream variations 

(Earl Grey; beetroot and ginger 

– yes, really!) include several for 

vegans, but it’s the desserts we 

fancy most. How about cinnamon 

pavlova with winter fruit; Julia’s double 

chocolate brownies or, by far our fave 

... collapsed espresso chocolate cake 

served with ice cream. Yes, yes, yes! 

From shakes and smoothies to sauces 

and DIY cones, when deliciousness 

calls, this is the book you need. 

Kyle Books, R378. 

We’re sweet on Skyline Late Harvest 

We’re fans of a semi-sweet wine … it’s gorgeous 

chilled, topped with soda and served with ice on 

a warm evening; it’s a classic match with rich liver 

Fancy 

winning a 

sweet prize? We’ve got 

a Skyline hamper to give 

away … half a dozen bottles 

of Skyline and a pair of sunnies 

in an eye-catching shopping 

bag. To enter, visit our Get

paté or a parfait, and is brilliant with 

desserts … think cheesecake 

or crème caramel, an apricot 

tart or glazed fruit pavlova. 

The just-released Skyline 

Late Harvest (named after 

SA’s great cityscapes) is 

a delicious option … all 

smooth honey and fruit, 

it’s full-bodied and rich and 

made from Chenin Blanc 

grapes harvested late in the 

season when the natural sugars 

are concentrated in the fruit, so 

it has no added sugar. About 

R49,99 a bottle, or R134,99 

for the convenient threelitre 

bag-in-a-box. 

Crushing on 

S&D Christian 

Couture 

Randfontein’s Reinette 

Herbst (who is also 

Mrs Africa 2019!) joined 

forces with fashion 

designer Alicia Pienaar 

from Krugersdorp, to 

start Strength & Dignity 

Christian Couture. They met 

through divine intervention and 

decided to make beautiful clothes together, starting with a fab range 

of scarves. A lot of attention is given to every scarf and because of the 

uniqueness of their scarves, they only make a limited number of each 

design. And the best part …? Every scarf is also adorned with a powerful 

verse or message and they specifically pray for each person who will wear 

the scarf. You can buy them at Op-ge-tof Coffee Shop, 72 Homestead 

Avenue, Randfontein, from R150 each. Details: 073 338 8473, info@d4g.co.za

BEING REAL 

Pinehaven's Danielle Steynvaardt, owner of TA-DA! Theatre Arts and Drama Academy, 

certainly knows how to make lemonade when life hands her lemons. This 29-year-old 

beauty spills the beans on the entertainment industry, love and all things art. 

Text: JACO-MARI HAASBROEK. Photographer: JACO BOTHMA. Hair: Tarryn Eksteen. Make-up: ANTOINETTE DE BEER. - 

Iam a singer, musician, 

and actress and I'm 

currently studying to 

become a pastor, but 

my ultimate life goal is 

to help others through 

everything I do. I believe 

that God has sent many 

ups and downs my way so that I 

could grow as a person and help 

others by teaching them what I’ve 

learned, equipping them to handle 

everything life throws at them. I 

have to put food on the table, so 

I’m always busy with my business 

or some new project, but I use all of 

that to help people – that’s the best 

part of my career. 

I have always been in love with 

singing and later discovered my 

talent for acting. Coming from 

a family where everybody has 

corporate jobs, it was quite a shock 

to the family when I said I wanted 

to study drama. My father asked me 

to draw up a business plan to show 

him how I would earn a steady 

income while pursuing this dream 

of mine, and that’s how TA-DA! got 

started in 2011. 

Early in my career, I starred 

in shows like Muvhango, 

Binnelanders and Getroud met 

Rugby, but fame has never been 

a driving force for me. I want to 

work in the entertainment industry 

because it’s what I love, not to chase 

fame, because there will always 

be someone better or richer than 

you. TA-DA! is is an academy where 

people can chase their dreams; we 

prepare young people to step into 

the industry, fully equipped. TA-DA! 

specialises in acting, vocals, and 

dancing and I try my best to create 

amazing opportunities for my 


students so that one day they can be 

even more accomplished than I am. 

Sometimes I think that I bite off 

more than I can chew, but God is 

my inspiration and motivation. You 

get a lot of rejection and criticism in 

this industry, but I know that God has 

a plan for me. The one thing I pray for 

every day is to have less of me and 

more of Him. Whatever happens in my 

life, God will help me reach my goals. 

We women tend to try and take care 

of everyone and everything around us, 

but we also need someone to care for 

us, and that’s what God does for me. 

One of the biggest struggles I 

have faced in my personal life is 

infertility, but God is helping me 

through it. My husband and I have 

been struggling to conceive for 

eight years and I’ve been hard on 

myself because it’s the one thing in 

my life that I can't control. I still get 

very emotional about it but I have 

accepted that God has another big 

plan for me. I had to realise that our 

love and our marriage are enough. It 

gets especially hard when people ask 

us why we don’t have kids. Most of 

the time they assume we don’t want 

kids but we have to smile through the 

tears because we are looking at the 

bigger picture. 

Fortunately, I have a big family and 

my siblings’ children are like my 

own. When my husband and I get 

lonely, we invite the kids over for a day 

of fun. Our whole family is very close 

and we meet up for a big family meal 

at least once a month. I’m also very 

close to my mother and can’t go a day 

without seeing her. When I’m down, 

she lifts me up, and when I’m excited, 

she is happy with me. 

Through it all, my husband is my 

rock and my biggest supporter. 

Before we fell in love, he was one 

of my brother’s friends, so I didn’t 

pay him much attention. I used to 

introduce myself all over every time 

he came over! After I got out of a very 

bad relationship, I saw what had been 

right in front of my eyes the whole 

time and found myself falling head 

over heels in love with my brother’s 

best friend. 

We have come a long way and I’ve 

learned so much from my husband – 

most importantly, how to prioritise. 

I’m a go-getter and when something 

doesn't work out, I tend to get very 

disappointed. Always being in control 

is both my strength and my weakness. 

By prioritising, I learned that not 

everything is equally important and 

that it's okay if something fails. In 

my life, I put God first, my husband 

second, and then everything else. Your 

whole world doesn’t have to revolve 

around your husband, but you weren’t 

put on this earth to be alone. 

We have gone through a rough 

patch lately but giving up and 

throwing it all away isn’t an option. 

My husband and I had to take another 

look at our relationship and realise 

where both of us had gone wrong. 

Now we have to pray and trust that 

There will 

always be 

someone better 

or richer 

than you. 

God will help us get our marriage back 

on track. As long as we still have our 

love for each other, everything will 

work out as it should. 

It’s a terrible feeling when 

something goes wrong in your 

marriage, but no one is perfect. 

We live in a world where everyone’s 

relationships look perfect on 

Instagram and 

Facebook, but 

we all have 

issues we don’t 

post about on 

social media. 

In November, 

my husband 

and I will be 

launching 

‘Behind The 

Scenes – The 

Marriage’ 

where we will 

be producing 

YouTube videos and podcasts about 

everything in relationships that people 

don’t talk about, like fighting, infertility, 

sex and even the lack thereof. I 

believe that we can save the world, 

one marriage at a time, because if 

your relationships with God and your 

husband are healthy, everything else 

will fall into place. 

I’m also busy with a Master's 

degree at Team Impact Christian 

University, specialising in sex in 

marriage, because I feel that no 

one talks about sex. Not everyone 

knows what’s sinful and what’s right or 

wrong, but sex is the glue that keeps 

a husband and wife together. I want 

to help people realise how beautiful 

sex in a marriage can be. Next year, I 

will be speaking about this topic at 

women’s conferences around South 

Africa, putting the sex back into 

marriages – the way it should be. 

When I’m not busy with my studies 

or my business, painting and 

making music are my favourite 

hobbies. I never watch TV; I’m either 

painting, planning, playing piano 

and ukulele or spending quality time 

with my husband when I have a bit of 

time off. There is always music playing 

in our house, because I can’t stand 

silence. 

In the future, I hope to launch my 

own fabulous clothing line as well. 

When I was at university, I started a 

small but successful clothing line as a 

way to earn my own money. Making 

my own clothes has always been a 

dream of mine since I love fashion and 

putting outfits together. I know I can 

do whatever I set my mind to, because 

God is helping me.

Constantia Kloof’s image consultant, 

Nqobile Nkosi, is an expert on all things 

fashion. She shares her tips for choosing 

between a one-piece and a two-piece 

swimsuit for your style and body type. 

ONE-PIECE SWIMSUIT: 

• Avoid a halterneck swimsuit if you 

have a big bust, thereby preventing 

sideways creep, and if you have big 

arms, as these will be accentuated. 

• A sweetheart neckline on a swimsuit 

is perfect for making your neck look 

long and elegant. 

• If you have a bit of a fleshy tummy, 

your best pick will be a swimsuit 

with lots of small prints as this will

camouflage the bulge. 

• A tailored swimsuit that flares over 

the bottom will work very well if you 

have a very big behind as it hides 

and balances it and gives a lovely 

feminine silhouette. 

TWO-PIECE SWIMSUIT: 

• Don’t go for a boob-tube swimsuit if 

you have a very small bust – it could 

end up looking like a bandage on 

you. A halterneck top is the perfect 

style for those with a small bust as 

you can show off your shoulders 

with the angular cut of the design. 

• Frills and ruffles on the swimsuit are 

perfect for covering a flatter chest, 

but these designs should be avoided 

if you have a fuller bust. 

• Pick a swimsuit with a deep V or 

wide scoop neckline if you have a 

very short neck. This will make your 

neck look longer and more elegant.

CANSA West Rand encourages everyone, 

young and old, to reduce the risk of skin 

cancer with the following tips: 

• Stay out of the sun between 10am 

and 3pm. Stay in the shade or under an 

umbrella as much as possible. 

• Wear protective clothing and thickly 

woven fabric hats with wide brims. 

• Avoid caps that leave the neck and 

ears exposed. 

• Wear sunglasses with a UV protection 

rating of UV400. 

• It’s important to know the best Sun 

Protection Factor (SPF) for your skin type. 

Use sunscreen with an SPF of between 

20 and 50; preferably SPF 30 to 50 for fair 

to very fair skin. 

• Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes 

before you go outside and reapply at 

least every two to three hours. 

• The CANSA’s Seal of Recognition (CSOR) 

logo appears on approved sunscreen 

products and is a guarantee that the 

manufacturers of these UV protective 

products have complied with the strict 

set of criteria developed by CANSA.

HOME: 

Want to zhoosh up your home this holiday? Go with blue – it is an allaround 

crowd-pleaser, the VIP of the crayon box. A go-to hue, blue is easy 

to decorate with and, more importantly, live in. From calming sky blue to 

electrifying cobalt, there’s a blue hue that suits every style! 

• Warm blues, like denim, ocean blue, or slate blue, contain hints of red. 

Colour experts say they advance or come toward you, so they help 

make a room feel cosier. Decorators often like warm blues in social 

spaces, like the living room, the kitchen, or the dining room. 

• Shades known as cool blues – like cobalt, turquoise, and ice blue 

– have yellow in them and tend to recede, or back away, which can 

help a small space look bigger. Colour experts explain that cool blues 

encourage calmness (which is nice for a bedroom) and focus (say, in a 

home office). Sometimes cool blues can go a little further and be cold. 

But in a bathroom, where you want a crisp, clean vibe, that can be a 

good thing.

Holiday tips for your pets: 

Pet guru, Elize van der Merwe from 

Hillside Pet Hyper in Krugersdorp, shares 

her top tips for taking care of your pets 

during the holidays. 

• Whether you are going on holiday or 

staying at home, your animals should 

be high on your priority list. If dogs 

or cats are staying over at boarding 

kennels for the first time, it is advisable 

to let them stay for a night or two 

before you go on holiday to see how

with their favourite food and toys. 

• For birds, it’s advised to get extra 

vitamins and something to calm them 

down from the pet shop as they tend 

to pluck their feathers when they 

are stressed from not having their 

favourite human around. 

• If people are using fireworks in your 

area, bring your pets inside and leave 

the radio or television on for them so 

that they won’t get as stressed about 

the noise. If you

are at home and your animals are 

stressed, use CalmEze calming tablets 

or a calming collar available from your 

vet or pet store. 

• Whatever your plans are, make sure 

your pets are chipped so that they can 

be traced and that their inoculations 

are up to date so that if they get lost, 

they don’t contract diseases. But most 

of all, give them love and attention – 

it’s the festive season after all. Details:

What your pet-sitter needs to know: 

Christien van den Bergh, a pet-sitter 

from Randfontein, says that the most 

important part of hiring a pet-sitter 

for your four-legged children is to get 

everything in writing. Before you go on 

your well-deserved holiday, make a list 

of your instructions so that the pet-sitter 

can refer back to it whenever needed. 

It is important to mention the 

following things: 

• Your pets’ feeding schedule as well as 

where the bowls are kept. 

• Where your pets’ medication is stored 

and how often and what dosage must 

be given. Remember to list all injuries 

or conditions so that the pet-sitter 

doesn’t get worried unnecessarily. 

• Grooming instructions including 

how often it is needed, and where the 

shampoo, brushes, and accessories are 

kept. Sometimes pets can make 

TRAVEL: 

Purrfect travel tips 

Travelling comes with its fair share of 

stressors, especially when you’re 

tasked with packing a bag and 

bringing along your closest fourlegged 

friend. 

1. Get your pet geared up 

for a long trip by taking him 

on a series of short drives 

first, gradually lengthening 

the time spent in the car. 

2. Make sure your pet has a 

microchip for identification and 

wears a collar with a tag imprinted 

with your home address, as well as 

a temporary travel tag with your 

cellphone number, destination phone 

number and any other relevant 

contact information. 

3. It’s safest for everyone if cats ride 

in a carrier and dogs in a car harness 

or a crate, depending on what makes 

them most comfortable. 

4. Make regular stops – every two 

hours for a puppy, every three to four 

hours for a cat or an adult dog – so 

your pet can take a walk on a leash. 

5. Feed your pet only lightly before 

getting in the car – pets can become 

carsick. Once you’ve stopped driving 

for the day, feed normally. Opt for 

bottled water – drinking water from 

an area he’s not used to could result in 

a tummy upset for your pet. 

a mess, so make sure your pet-sitter 

knows where the cleaning supplies 

are too. 

• Let the pet-sitter know what spaces 

are off-limits for the pets. 

• List emergency details for the 

veterinarian and a family member or 

close friend that can be contacted 

in case of an emergency. Please list 

your details in case of an emergency 

as well. 

• It is wise to show the pet-sitter 

where the circuit breakers are and 

what to do when the power is off. 

• Make provision in case your return 

gets delayed – ensure there is a 

supply of extra food, medicine and 

anything else your pets might need. 

• You should preferably put the 

payment agreement in writing 

to eliminate confusion and 

miscommunication. 

Kids’ 

entertainment: 

Keep kids entertained 

by downloading their 

favourite movies and games 

on a tablet. Remember to 

carry a good book or some 

puzzles to save the day 

in case of a tech 

meltdown. 

Road trip essentials 

Budget Car Hire put together a list of 

essentials to gather before your journey 

to ensure you and your loved ones are 

safe, you don’t have to worry and can 

focus on enjoying your adventures on 

the open road. 

Roadside emergency kit: Keep pliers 

and spanners on hand. Have jumper 

cables in your vehicle to revive a 

dead battery. Make sure you have an 

emergency triangle/ road flares, a tow 

rope and a flashlight. 

First-aid kit: A good kit should 

contain bandages, band-aids for minor 

cuts and bruises as well as stronger 

ones to dress serious wounds. Also, be 

sure to include hydrogen peroxide, an 

emergency blanket, disposable gloves 

and antiseptic cream.

Hardcopy maps: Have a map on 

hand. It will keep you on the right 

path in case your cellphone battery 

dies, and you don’t have a charger, 

you can’t 

get a network signal, or your GPS 

loses the plot. 

Cooler and snacks: Beat the heat 

with a cooler filled with snacks, water 

and energy drinks. When travelling, it’s 

important to keep food cold, as germs 

thrive in warmer conditions. Keep 

hydrated, because water is crucial for 

all bodily functions, so you are at your 

optimum. Snack on energy bars or trail 

mix to keep the hunger pangs at bay. 

The right fashion: Pack for the road, 

not the runway. The last thing you 

want on a road trip is to fuss with 

uncomfortable clothes and shoes. 


Breaking the 

Anita Browne of Greenway Farms, Tarlton is one fab farmer. Meet the woman who 

managed to win the AGRI Gauteng Young Farmer of the Year in between running the 

family business and expanding her own little family. 

Text & image: JACO-MARI HAASBROEK. 

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING AT 

GREENWAY FARMS? 

My Father and his business partner founded the business 

in 1988. I grew up on the farm, but I never thought 

that I'd end up working here, because what is there for 

women to do on a farm? I went off to study for a BSc in 

Human Molecular Biology but later switched to a BSc in 

Plant Health and Ecology after I did an internship with a 

plant pathologist overseas. It opened my mind to new 

possibilities for being a woman in agriculture. I later worked 

on the farm during holidays. I learned the fundamentals 

of the business from the ground up. I've been working 

full time on the farm for five years, and proudly run the 

production side of the business which entails planning, 

research and development, and everything in between 

that leads up to the final product. 

WHAT DOES GREENWAY FARMS DO? 

What started off as a small vegetable farm, which later 

specialized in carrot production, has now seen new 

opportunity to further expand the business. Instead of 

throwing away the broken or forked carrots that aren't up 

to sale standard, we made our famous Rugani juice. We 

have now expanded to pineapple and beetroot juice, and 

yummy combinations like carrot and pineapple as well as 

carrot and ginger. 

TELL US ABOUT YOUR AWARD? 

One of my suppliers nominated me to be a candidate for 

the AGRI Gauteng Young Farmer of the Year for 2019. The 

judging criteria are quite broad and the judges want to see 

how involved the farmer is in their business. They visited 

the farm to see what we do here and how I influence the 

business on all levels. When I was nominated, I was very 

sceptical about the competition because I don't do this 

job for the recognition, but I realised that it gives me the 

platform to be noticed as a role-player in this industry. I 

didn't expect to win, especially because I'm a woman. I am 

the first woman to win this award and I think it really shifts 

the paradigm about women in agriculture because it's not 

an industry for men only any more. I'm proud that I can be 

an example that women can achieve anything they put 

their minds to. The national round of this competition is yet 

to take place and I am looking forward to it. 

WHAT CHALLENGES DO WOMEN IN THIS 

INDUSTRY FACE? 

There has always been a stereotype that there isn’t 

anything a woman can do on a farm. Even though the 

business was fast growing, and the doors were always 

open for opportunity for us to join the family business, 

there was no real clear understanding or direction, as to 

where me as a women could add value to the business. 

This however has changed. It’s a male-dominated 

industry and it's very difficult to be seen as a role-player 

in this industry if you're a woman. It’s a lot of hard work 

to be successful. Luckily, these stereotypes are changing, 

together with the paradigm shift that women can be 

excellent farmers. 

WHAT IS YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH 

THE COMMUNITY? 

Besides providing local produce and employing locals, I 

think that our success story also inspires and motivates 

the community. The business started off on a 20 hectare 

farm and now we have 3 500 hectares. We try to send out a 

message that anything is possible if you're prepared to take 

risks, work hard and walk roads that are not often walked. 

We also empower our employees, giving them the chance 

to get upskilled and to provide better lives for their families, 

and at the end of the day, it lifts up the whole community. 

BEING PART OF A FAMILY BUSINESS? 

When we say that it's a family business we really mean it. 

My father has five daughters and a son, so it was inevitable 

that at least one of his daughters would end up in the 

family business. One of my sisters and my brother have 

also joined me on the farm. My loving husband is the 

marketing and export manager of the business, so we get 

to work together a lot. For me, family equals Greenway 

Farms – I can't separate the one from the other because we 

are Greenway Farms. 

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR YOU? 

While the business is growing, my family is also growing. 

My husband and I are expecting our first child and I'm very 

excited about it because I am always working towards 

leaving a legacy for the next generation.

Summer blooms 

We’ve put together our top garden tasks and tips for the month. 

Best for patios … 

imagine having deliciously 

fragrant and pickable sweet 

basil at your fingertips. Basil 

‘Dolce Fresca’ is a patio basil 

that grows perfectly in a pot, 

keeps its compact bushy shape 

and doesn’t get leggy, like 

garden varieties tend to do. 

Plants grow 30 to 36cm high, 

with a high leaf yield. This basil 

has won several horticultural 

awards, including the All- 

American Selections vegetable 

category for its sweet, tender 

leaves and ornamental 

shape. Use the leaves for 

pesto, with pasta and in any 

Mediterranean-inspired dish. 

A great patio edible. Details: 

www.ballstraathof.co.za. 

Garden tasks: 

• Sow quick-growing annuals like alyssum, dwarf 

marigolds, nasturtiums, portulaca, and California poppy. 

• Lift and divide irises, water agapanthus if the weather is 

hot and dry and fertilise roses, cannas, dahlias 

and hydrangeas. 

• For heat-resistant bedding colour, plant vinca, 

Angelonia and bedding salvia in sunny beds and 

begonias in semi-shade. 

• Water outdoor container plants and hanging baskets 

once a day and feed twice a month. If the sun is 

becoming too harsh, move containers into a position 

where they receive afternoon shade. 

• November is a peak time for pests. Watch out for 

lily borer (black and yellow stripes) on your clivia and 

amaryllis, and spray with Margaret Roberts Biological 

Caterpillar Insecticide. Protect roses, tomatoes, 

and sweet peppers with Ludwig’s Insect Spray, 

which is organic. 

• Succession sowing of most summer vegetables can 

be continued until the end of this month.

We’re planting Salvia for its superb show 

This shrubby upright perennial salvia produces endless spikes of large dark 

purple, pink or orange-red blooms that attract bees and stand out against 

the dark green leaves. Plants flower from spring to autumn and even through 

winter in warmer areas. Growing 60 to 80cm high and wide, it is a good filler 

for beds or as a feature in a large container. Plants are frost-hardy, performing 

best in full sun in fertile well-drained soil. Like all salvia, they need moderate 

watering and the soil can dry out between waterings. For strong growth, cut 

back in spring, fertilise and water well. Details: www.ballstraathof.co.za.

Fly camping ... 

a safari for the adventurous

Walking through big five country and sleeping out in the wild 

So you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary. A little more adventurous. 

Something special. And as we so often do (boast, boast), we’ve done the hard work for 

you and found something spectacular for you to experience. An authentic wilderness 

adventure, where you can experience the beauty of the bush on foot and sleep out in 

the wild. A fly camping safari experience is the latest activity offered at Samara Private 

Game Reserve in the Great Karoo – arguably one of the most extraordinary areas of 

South Africa. 

Taking its name from the original safari days when explorers set up camp in big game 

country with little more than a fly sheet protecting them from the elements, Samara’s 

fly camping activity remains true to these origins. 

WIth a maximum of six guests, your adventure begins with a guided bush walk 

through Big Five territory ... fret not ... the rangers are armed and they, and the trackers, 

are hugely experienced. Come dusk, you’ll arrive at your private camp, where your 

tents have already been set up (thank heavens ... imagine having to do that yourself 

after a long day walking in the bush!), and the fire ready to be lit. You’ll have (massively 

welcome, we’re sure) sundowners followed by a traditional South Africa braai – think 

boerewors, roosterbrood and grilled pineapple – cooked by the ranger and tracker 

team. You’ll spend the evening sitting round the campfire, sharing safari stories and 

listening to the nightly chorus of jackals, nightingales and the occasional lion roar, 

before retreating to bed. The next morning, you can continue your walk or drive back 

to the lodge. 

This fly camping safari is only available from October to May (excluding December 15 

to January 10) and is limited to guests who’ve booked a minimum three-night stay 

in one of Samara’s lodges. A R7 000 a night camping surcharge applies, although this 

charge is included in the cost if guests book a five-night conservation package. Prices 

include the services of a fully armed ranger and tracker. You do need to be 16 or older.
