Book club
Mothers. Sons. Sisters. Friends. We’re all about family this month
There’s been much noise about Girl A
… and deservedly so. Abigail Dean’s
debut novel, which is being called
‘the book that will define a decade’, is
magnificent. A psychological drama, it
starts off fairly gently but gets deeper
and darker and more distressing with
every chapter. The story, told by Lex –
Girl A, jumps from past to present …
the past being her and her siblings’
horrendous childhood, growing up
in her religious fanatic parents’ House
of Horrors; the present being when
her mother dies in prison and leaves
Lex, now a lawyer, executor of her
estate … a little money and the family
home from which Lex escaped. Lex,
with agreement and encouragement
from her sister Evie, decides to turn
the house into a force for good …
including everything her parents
would have hated. We meet each of
her siblings – as children and as the
adults they’ve grown up to be. Girl
A, soon to be a TV show directed by
Johan Renck (director of Chernobyl),
is a story of redemption, horror and
love, and is gripping, powerful and
deeply disturbing. Brilliant!
If you’ve nothing planned for the weekend, this one’s a light, quick read which
will keep you guessing. Michelle Frances (The Girlfriend, The Daughter) takes sibling
rivalry and family secrets to a whole new level in Sisters. It starts off slow, and a
little predictable, but the story soon hots up … with sisters Abby and Ellie doing a
Thelma and Louise through Italy, France and Spain, the police – as well as a baffled
husband and an is-she-or-isn’t-she-evil mother – close behind. • Staying with
sisters – Kate and Lauren have a great relationship … always there for one another.
But when Jess arrives, claiming to be their half-sister, the fall-outs start. Is she the
secret daughter of their father, who recently died? For the girls, their mother Rose,
and newcomer Jess, life becomes a tangle of secrets, lies and questions. Is the
family really as perfect as it appears? Sandie Jones (The Other Woman) is great at
psychological suspense, and there’s no shortage of that in The Half Sister.
In Bibi’s Kitchen
Bibis – grandmothers – from eight eastern
African countries welcome you into their
kitchens to share flavourful recipes and
stories of family, love and tradition in
this cookbook-meets-travelogue. Food
writer Julia Turshen and Somali chef Hawa
Hassan gathered 75 recipes. Expect Kicha
(flatbread) and Shiro (ground chickpea
stew) from Ma Gehennet from Eritrea,
Ajemi bread with carrots and green
pepper from Ma Shara in Zanzibar, and
stewed plantain with beans and beef
from Ma Vicky – a real-life Tanzanian
princess. Delicious in every way.

The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman is pure joy. It’s tender, gentle, poignant, and
touching. And madly, madly funny. Which it shouldn’t be. Since Norman is a painfully
awkward preteen. Short, covered in scaly, painful psoriasis, and then there’s his name!
Plus his best – and only – friend, Jax (‘the bloody Rolls-bloody-Royce of bloody best
friends’) has just died. There goes their five-year plan to perform their duo comedy act at
the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023. But ‘one never knows’ … and a trio of delightful characters
– Norman, his wonderful, scatty mum Sadie, an elderly pensioner co-worker Leonard,
along with a host of people they meet along the way (one of whom may or may not
be Norman’s dad) travel from Cornwall to Edinburgh to make dreams come true.
Obviously, not much goes according to plan. Massively inspiring, uplifting, wise …
a hugely enjoyable read by Julietta Henderson. Loved it! • More warm-hearted
humour in The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home. For those
of you who’ve read Joanna Nell’s The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement
Village and The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker, you’ll know what you’re in
for. And if you’re new to this author, you’re in for a treat. A roller coaster
of fun and laugh-out-loud moments as nearly 90-year-old Hattie Bloom
(retired nature writer and lover of birds) has a fall which lands her in
a nursing home, where she meets fellow ‘inmate’ Walter Clements (a
gregarious would-be comedian) who’s also longing for escape, at The
Night Owls – a clandestine club run by Sister Bronwyn and her dog,
Queenie. Funny meets moving … a delightful, feel-good book that
proves it’s never too late to laugh or to love.
This month we’re keeping things tart with the bittersweet taste of
ruby red grapefruit. Made with grapefruit hand-picked on
the sun-drenched French island of Corsica in the Med,
Pampelle is all citrus peel-fresh, with a touch of
herbs, and makes the most amazing spritzer. Pour
two tots of Pampelle into an icy cold glass, add about
75ml of Prosecco or sparkling wine, and top with soda
water. Around R399 from your local bottle store.

Sometimes the cherry on top really is just that, and it certainly appears to be
the case for Faaiza Omar. At home in her Valencia Park residence in Mbombela,
Faaiza explains what it means to live - and love - the sweet life.
Faaiza Omar
Text: MELLISSA BUSHBY. Photographer: TANYA ERASMUS
orn and raised in Johannesburg,
Faaiza comes from a family that
have flair and sophistication in their
DNA. Her mum, a keen entertainer
and dress designer, passed her
aptitude for style on, and Faaiza and
her four sisters would often design
their own looks and outfits for events
and weddings. She wasn’t always
a baker by trade – Faaiza is a trained
skincare therapist, although being a pastry chef
is definitely her passion. “Baking is great way for
me to express my creativity,” she smiles. “Initially
I baked cakes for my younger sisters who were
experimenting with fondant, and the infatuation
with perfecting the art of macaron making
got me hooked on French pastries. The flavour
combinations are endless! I love that.”
‘The important
thing is to remember
that patience is key;
Rome wasn’t built in
a day, but they were
laying bricks every
hour’
Being a pastry chef in a very much maledominated
industry isn’t always easy, Faaiza says.
“There has been a marked increase in female
chefs, but both in South Africa and globally
we still have a way to go to catch up on this
front. The important thing is to remember that
patience is key; Rome wasn’t built in a day, but
they were laying bricks every hour. It takes time
to master a skill or craft, time and dedication.”
She absently rotates the whisk on one of her
many pastel-coloured blenders. “I bake a lot,”
Faaiza muses as she adjusts the setting. Blenders
aside, her love of her chosen field is evident in
her kitchen, which is every inch a baker’s dream.
She laughs when she says that her idea of
a showstopper cake would be a six-layered,
moist chocolate cake, layered with chocolate

‘Happiness to me is
baking and sharing my
beautiful creations with my
neighbours and friends’
mint mousse and peppermint Aero. “My
favourite cake would have to be tres leches
or milk cake flavoured with saffron. It’s a type
of sponge (sometimes butter) cake which
is soaked in three types of milk; evaporated
milk, condensed milk and heavy cream. When
butter is not used, tres leches is a very light
cake with many air bubbles.”
It’s not always a (fondant) rose garden though,
and as with all things there will be times when
your creations don’t turn out the way you
want them to. Faaiza’s advice is to embrace
each challenge and not to get despondent.
“Don’t take rejection to heart,” she says. “Keep
evolving; as you grow, so will your career
goals. Look at me; I started out as a trained
skincare therapist and I’m now a pastry chef
with a successful online pastry supply store
and pastry school. Perseverance is key. Look for
inspiration to keep your passion alive.
“I draw mine from my travels and also the
chefs under whom I have studied. I resonate
with these words of Maida Heater: Happiness
is baking cookies. Happiness is giving them
away. And serving them, eating them, talking
about them, reading and writing about them,
thinking about them and sharing them
with you.
“That is how I feel - happiness to me is baking
and sharing my beautiful creations with my
neighbours and friends. I am also passionate
about helping and uplifting others wherever
possible. To volunteer time, money or
energy leaves me with a sense of immense
Look for inspiration to keep your passion

gratification and peace.”
Faaiza has put her passion down onto paper
with the release of her beautiful book, My Sweet
Life, a lifelong dream. “I have always wanted to
compile a recipe book, incorporating all my
favourite flavours and recipes. It is inspired
by my travels and the exotic flavours I’ve
encountered along the way. My hope is that
this book helps to bridge the gap between
the pastry chef and home baker,” she says.
“Ultimately, I’d like to compile another one with
simple bakes derived from by my travels... Oh
yes, and I have a list of masterclasses I want to
attend with a few world-renowned chefs!”
Travelling is obviously high on the list of Faaiza’s
loves. Though you may wonder if she ever
slows down, it is her way of recharging and
relaxing. “It’s my escape,” she smiles. “I immerse
myself in the culture and food of each place I
visit, drawing inspiration from their ingredients
and cuisine. After a week or two away from
home, I’m ready to get back to my kitchen
experimenting with all the new flavours I’ve
encountered.” We can’t wait to see what this
intrepid creator of beautiful confectionaries
comes up with next!
My Sweet Life has been a lifelong
dream for Faaiza

A fighting chance
against Covid
Covid-19 has changed the world as
we know it. It has caused fear, severe
sickness and death. After Covid-19,
patients battle to be their old selves
again; in certain cases it takes months
to recover. After the infection, they
still have difficulty breathing, their
exercise abilities are severely curtailed,
and they remain tired and fatigued
after even the simplest of tasks.
Dr Hein and Louis van Wyk has
a positive outlook despite the
negatives. “There is some good news;
most patients fully recover. New hope
also sprouts from the potentially
promising vaccines becoming
available. It seems as if antibodies
give temporary immunity (B-cell
immunity). Some immunologists
reckon that T-cell immunity is a
possibility and that we could be
protected by this for a longer period.
“We know that Covid affects type 2
pneumocytes specifically, causing
severe inflammation in the lungs.
In more serious cases, patients
become insulin-resistant. In other
words, glucose does not enter the
cells the way it should. I am of the
opinion that the shortage of glucose
in cells and the effect the virus has
on them, can cause cell death and
is also responsible for the severe
inflammatory reaction,” says Hein
and Louis. “The mitochondria (power
station) of cells are damaged and I
think that is part of the severe fatigue
that patients experience.”
Stemcure Clinic’s main treatment
goal is mitochondrial support in the
form of the following:
• Coenzyme Q10
• Ribose
• L Carnatine
• L Argenine.
The above are effective in the
recovery and activating of energy
in the cells and therefore the body.
Platelet-rich plasma is a powerful way
to treat inflammation in the lungs and
promotes lung recovery dramatically.
Within hours, many patients who
had been on oxygen found they no
longer needed it. “Two of my patients
who had felt pressure on their chests and experienced severe exercise reduction
received stem-cell treatment. About 10 minutes after administration of the stem
cells, both patients said the feeling of pressure on their chests was gone.
“Covid humbles any medical practitioner, because many factors have to be
looked at and it is still a very new condition. The worst is that some patients do
not even get sick, and for others it is a fulminating sickness. It is of the utmost
importance to diagnose it early and to act timeously during each stage of the
sickness.”

Fighting back
We speak to five local healthcare practitioners on overcoming Covid and
staying healthy during what is a difficult time for many people, on various levels.
Apart from the virus itself, stress resulting from uncertainty due to family and/or
financial concerns can lower the immune system, impeding the body’s
natural ability to curb infection and resist illness. Remember to take care of
yourself and your loved ones.
Let health and wellness be your top priority
Wellness 360, a holistic centre outside Mbombela on the Gladdespruit River,
will meet all your wellness needs. For many of us, lockdown has created an
atmosphere of anxiety and fear. The majority of us have done our part and
remained at home for many months, but we can’t put our lives on hold forever!
We can respect the severity of our country’s current Covid-19 situation while also
respecting our own physical and mental health needs.
If you’re looking to shake off the lockdown cobwebs and enjoy some fresh air,
exercise and TLC, the Wellness360 centre has something for everyone!
You can join any number of our classes in our studio:
• BASI Pilates • Yoga • Rehab classes.
Wellness360 also offers treatments by the following professionals:

After your exercise class or private
session with one of our therapists, you
can stroll across to Friends Café for a
cappuccino or a meal with a front-row
view of the beautiful Gladdespruit.
If you’re thinking about getting back
into the gym, join a personal trainer
at the Core360 gym or lace up your
tekkies and try out one of the property’s
three maintained walking trails.
We welcome you to our Wellness360
centre and hope you enjoy our slice of
paradise where children play, dogs run,

to help you stay physically active,
mentally sharp and emotionally
connected during the Covid-19
pandemic.
Stay active
People of all ages and abilities need to
be as active as possible.
• Infants under one: 30+ minutes a day
of tummy time/floor-based play
• Kids under five: 180+ minutes a day of
a variety of physical activities
• Children five to 17 years: 60+ minutes

and vegetables
• Ensure you get enough vitamins A
and D and zinc
• Cut back on salt
• Eat moderate amounts of fats and oils
• Limit sugar intake • Drink enough water • Avoid harmful alcohol use.

Positive ageing in the
age of Covid-19
With the enforcement of national
lockdown, the wearing of masks
and social distancing, Covid-19 has
permeated every facet of our society.
Everyone knows at least one person
who has been affected by this virus
and worldwide Covid-19-related
deaths have soared to unimaginable
rates. Understandably, many have
been questioning their mortality
and considering ways to boost
their immunity and resilience to the
pandemic.
As medical doctors we have a variety
of non-surgical procedures (antiwrinkle
injections, dermal fillers,
chemical peels, thread lifts, etc.) in
our armamentarium to combat skin
ageing. However, here are some
pointers regarding things you can do
to get you looking the way you still
feel: healthy, vibrant and filled with
vitality.
• Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen;
enough cannot be said about it. We are
all well aware that excess sun exposure
is one of the leading causes of skin
cancer; however, the sun is also one of
the main culprits in causing premature
ageing resulting in wrinkles, loss of
elasticity, laxity and pigmentation
dysregulation. In practice, applying
your sunscreen at the start of the day
only provides a fairly limited duration
of protection (even with a high SPF
rating), so reapplying it throughout
the day while avoiding direct sunlight
exposure remains one of the most
effective anti-ageing strategies.
• Get enough sleep. Chronic, poorquality
sleep has been associated
with worsening fine lines, uneven
pigmentation, hanging eyelids and
darker under-eye circles. Furthermore,
good sleepers also tend to heal faster
from disruptions to the skin barrier. This
really brings home the term “beauty
sleep”! So even though Covid-19 might
be keeping you up at night, be sure to
get enough shut-eye.
Many have been
questioning their
mortality and
considering ways to
boost their immunity
and resilience to the
pandemic
• Use good-quality home care. A host
of home care products is available on
the market (including cleansers, toners,
day creams, serums, night creams, etc.),
but not all products are suitable for
all skin types. Be sure to consult your
aesthetic medical doctor to prescribe
the most appropriate home care
regimen for your specific skin type and
degree of skin ageing.
As always, prevention is better than
cure, but you’re never too old to start
becoming younger!

The importance of
supplements
Protect yourself and others around you
against Covid-19 by taking appropriate
precautions, such as boosting your
immune system with the high-quality
supplements available at Mopani
Pharmacy.
BFC Pharma (Best Family Choice
Pharmaceuticals) delivers holistic
vitamin and mineral solutions for all
individuals. The Premium Zinc multimineral
supplement, with selenium,
vitamin C and vitamin D3, is specifically
beneficial to growing children, pregant
women, athletes, seniors and
patients with poor immune systems,
and for treating skin and stomach
problems. It is vegetarian-friendly.
Zinc is one of the nutrients that
cannot be produced by the body, yet
it uses it for many functions, including
boosting your immune system. It
helps to regulate how cells adapt and
communicate with one another to
let the rest of the body know when
a viral or bacterial infection needs to
be fought off. It also helps your body
break down and absorb important
nutrients. This is why zinc is often taken
with vitamin C. Zinc is found in throat
sprays, nappy creams and acne lotions,
as it aids in the healing of wounds.
Taking it as a supplement means
you are healing yourself from the
inside out.
Vitamin C is known to be water-soluble.
These vitamins are not stored in the
body and need to be replenished
every day. It is also known as an
ascorbic acid; an antioxidant. It helps to
protect cells and keeps them healthy.
Your body uses vitamin C to make
collagen. This keeps bones, skin, teeth
and blood vessels healthy and supple.
Vitamin C will not cure a cold or the flu,
but it will boost your immune system
to help your own body to fight it.
Selenium acts as a powerful
antioxidant. Antioxidants such as
vitamin C and selenium curb oxidative
stress in the body. Oxidative stress is
known to cause heart disease, poor
mental health and reproductive and
thyroid problems.
Vitamin D supplementation maximises
the intestinal calcium absorption and
aids calcium to bind to the bones. It
also decreases the excretion of calcium
in the kidneys.
For any possible contraindications or
directions on usage, consult one of our
knowledgeable pharmacists. You can
purchase your BFC Pharma Premium
Zinc multi-mineral supplement with
selenium, vitamin C and vitamin D3
at any of our four Mopani Pharmacy
stores or on our online shop.
We deliver your medication, supplements,
cosmetics, fragrances and other
Mopani online shopping nationwide.
Vitamin C helps to
protect cells and

We all want to look our best, and that means making sure
you take special care when it comes to your hair, nails
and face. That in turn means finding a stylist and beauty
therapist who best suit your needs, from the quality of
the colour they use on your hair to the cleanliness of the
salon and the attitude of the stylist. Covid has kept many
of us indoors. We may have let our roots show a little,
which makes it the perfect time to don your face mask,
pack your sanitiser and pay your local hair and beauty
salon a visit.
Not only can they benefit from the business after
lockdown, but there is no reason why you shouldn’t allow
yourself a little indulgence now and then! And when it
means you’ll look good (which by default leads to feeling
good, too), what are you waiting for? Choosing a stylist and
beauty therapist can be a little frightening. After all, they are
part of the face you portray to the world. And let’s be honest, who
isn’t fussy about their hair? We often want it straight if it’s curly
and vice versa, and will happily spend a fortune on a Brazilian or a
perm, not to mention colours and highlights.
The same applies to beauty, waxing, lashes, microblading,
pedicures and manicures. Trusting someone
with such an important part of your overall
identity means trusting them to do it the
way you want, resulting in confidence
and a look that suits your lifestyle, be it
a bold new colour or daring cut. A large
number of beauty and hairstylists ply
their trade in the Lowveld, all of whom
have excellent reputations and a loyal
following of clients.

Microblading is a technique using a super-fine pen to deposit pigment into the skin.
The needles reach only into the superficial layers of the skin, which makes the method
semi-permanent. We will numb the area first, and continue with brow mapping to
ensure brows are symetrical. Compared to other techniques, microblading gives
a natural hairstroke look. Microshading is the same idea, but with a twist in
technique. It leaves small, pinpoint dots. These ombre powder eyebrows,
are a dream come true for all those desiring more evenly and consistently
applied ink throughout the brow. After the initial service, a touch-up is
required four to eight weeks thereafter. Brows can last anywhere from
12 months to three years, depending on your lifestyle.

With a worldwide movement towards
healthier, more sustainable foods, this
month we have turned our focus to the
various ranges of natural, wholefoods and
organic ingredients available at Crossing
SUPERSPAR in Mbombela. From chickpea
flour and nutritional yeast to nuts and
seeds, and a variety of plant milks and
preservative-free spices, with a whole lot
more besides, this is your one-stop shop
for all things scrummy and unprocessed.
Chickpea breakfast crêpes
Chickpea or channa flour has an
earthy, slightly nutty flavour, and adds
a delicious dimension and texture to
your cooking. Healthy and versatile,
it is gluten-free and can be used as
a main ingredient, such as for the
Italian flatbreads socca or farinata,
to replace eggs or cornstarch as a
binder in savoury and sweet dishes,
or in a batter, such as when used to
make pakoras or bhajis. Most often
used in savoury recipes, these crêpes
have retained a hint of the nuttiness
of the flour, with a sweet, fruity kick
depending on your choice of topping.
Ingredients
1 cup chickpea flour; ½ cup cake flour;
2 tbs sugar; 1 tsp ground cinnamon;
½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional); pinch
of salt; 1 cup milk; ½ cup of water;
1 tbs coconut oil, melted; 2 tsp vanilla
extract.
Method
Whisk the flours, spices and salt
together in a mixing bowl. Make a well
in the middle.
Mix the milk, water, oil and vanilla
together and add them to the
dry ingredients, stirring slowly to
incorporate everything.
Using a whisk or hand blender,
make sure the mixture is thoroughly
combined; there must be no lumpy
bits.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours,
or overnight.
Lightly oil a frying pan and heat it over
a medium heat.
Once the pan is warm, pour 1/3
cupfuls at a time into the pan, oiling
a little between each crêpe and
swirling to make sure the batter is well
distributed.
Once small bubbles start forming on
the surface, gently flip it over and fry
for another 2 to 3 minutes. Both sides
must be golden brown.

Hot chocolate
Late summer, early autumn evenings in the Lowveld are the perfect
time for an indulgent treat. This hot chocolate drink is delicious
without being overly rich or heavy. Cinnamon and turmeric both
contain anti-inflammatory properties and add a hint of spice. Cocoa
is known to reduce blood pressure and coconut milk is a healthy
fat, so there is no reason not to spoil yourself!
Ingredients
½ cup boiling water; 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder; 2 tbs brown
sugar (or to taste); 1 tsp ground cinnamon; ½ tsp turmeric; a 400g tin
of coconut milk, well shaken; 4 squares of dark chocolate; cocoa for
dusting.
Method
Add the water, cocoa, sugar and spice to a medium-sized saucepan,
add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat
to a simmer and whisk for about 2 minutes. Divide the chocolate into
2 mugs, then distribute the hot chocolate evenly between them.
Dust with a little extra cocoa or cinnamon and enjoy.

Macaroni and cheese
Nutritional yeast is a wonder product,
packed full of flavour and benefits.
It contains antioxidants, protein,
vitamins and minerals, and helps
protect against oxidative damage.
Studies also show that it has
immune-boosting properties and
helps to lower cholesterol. Nutritional
yeast is high in vitamins B1, 2, 3, 6
and 12, and also contains potassium,
calcium and iron. It is an integral
part of plant-based cooking as it is
similar in taste and texture to cheese
when cooked into sauces, and is also
delicious sprinkled on salads, pasta
and popcorn.
Ingredients
500g penne pasta; 3 tbs canola
oil; 3 tbs cake flour; 2 tbs prepared
mustard; 1 1/2 cups almond or oat
milk (at room temperature); 1 tsp
garlic powder; a pinch of turmeric for
colour; ¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes;
½ cup pasta water; salt and pepper
to taste.
Method
Cook the pasta according to the
instructions on the packet, do not
overcook. Retain a small amount, half
a cup or so, for the sauce.
Using a small saucepan, heat the
oil, then add the flour and whisk to
combine. Add the mustard, whisking
continuously.
The sauce will start to bubble after a
minute or two.
Slowly start to pour in small amounts
of the milk at a time, stirring
continuously to get rid of lumps.
Add the garlic powder, turmeric, salt
and pepper and stir.
Turn the heat down and cook
slowly for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the
nutritional yeast and taste, adjusting
seasoning if necessary.
If the mixture seems too thick, add in
a little of the pasta water at a time and
stir. The consistency must be of thick
cream.
Toss the pasta and sauce together,
adding slivers of chargrilled peppers
or sun-dried tomatoes, and a
sprinkling of paprika or seasoning.

You
can
build anything
on gratitude
Conrad Bure, Emile Temperman, Thobile Masuku, Paul Delport and Bruce Fargher
26 Get It Lowveld March 2021
The word Norse brings to mind visions of
intrepid and daring Northmen, the brave
adventurers who conquered inhospitable
lands and made them habitable. The
magnificently majestic construction site of
the new Golden Macadamias processing
plant brings the same image to mind.

Despite very thorough planning beforehand, the ramifications of tropical storm
Eloise are still evident here. No one from Norse Projects, in charge of constructing
this monstrosity, seems the least bit perturbed. The only rumblings you hear
are true gratitude for the much-needed rain. As we sit down in the site office
of projects manager Bruce Fargher, we soon find out that the air of gratitude
among the Norse Projects team is a company ethos, and by no means limited to
the weekend’s rainfall. This attitude is what this extraordinary team attributes its
success to. As Bruce indulges us with the history of the business and its mythical
name, we gain a clear understanding of the rich heritage of this prominent
Lowveld operation.
Ian Billingham, father of current managing director Nathan Billingham, was part
of the trio that established Norse in 1973. The founder was Tom Rouring who
came from Scandinavia, and hence the connection with the Norse name. Norse
Construction started out as a civil engineering company which specialised in
water and sewer reticulation works and was responsible for a large amount of the
infrastructure in Mpumalanga today. Grinaker was looking for a footprint in the
Lowveld and bought into Norse. Norse Grinaker was formed in the mid-1990s.
Grinaker’s amalgamation with LTA led to all the smaller satellite branches being
mothballed. In 2002 Nathan returned to the Lowveld after 10 years with Grinaker in
KwaZulu-Natal and with the consent from Grinaker LTA management resurrected
Norse as Norse Projects. It has become one of the region’s most respected
construction businesses.
Apart from Nathan, the other directors, Pieter Jacobs (financial director) and
Dieter Klesse (technical director), seem to run a tight ship. With landmark projects
such as the Lowveld Day Hospital, University of Mpumalanga and The Grove
Shopping Centre under their belt, they also co-direct empowerment enterprise
NPE Construction. When selecting suppliers, the same fairness applies and
everyone is given an opportunity to throw their hat into the ring. Conrad Bure of
BUCO Nelspruit listens with a big, friendly grin while one of his company’s trucks
offloads cement on site. Bruce describes the gratitude that they feel towards
BUCO for always being at their side. There’s a mutual understanding between both
parties that supplying this Lowveld giant will never be an exclusive affair. Conrad
knows the stakes are high, but he is not to be defeated and knows that at the right
price and with the right level of service, he will always be in the running.
With the sun reflecting on the puddles of the now long-gone Eloise, we stare up
at this enormous marvel above us. Cranes swing around overhead as harnessed
skilled workmen finish off concrete columns. As at a giant circus, you are
awestruck by how this perfectly timed machine operates, working in complete
harmony and unison to create what will once again be known as one of the proud
Mbombela landmarks by Norse Projects. Reason to be boastful, assuredly. Not here!
Here there’s hardly time to brag when so much time is spent just being grateful.

Island style
Magical, marvellous Maldives.
So much more than palm trees and cocktails.
And you could win our trip and experience it yourself.
Compiled by: KYM ARGO
Hands up if you’ve been dreaming about
escaping to an island. A lounger under a palm
tree. A fancy cocktail. A dip in the ocean when
the sun gets too hot.
Sounds blissful, right? But what if you want to
do more than laze in the sun. Then you go to
the Maldives, where there’s so much to do, it’s
a wonder anyone has time to sit on the beach!
Made up of more than 1 000 tiny islands,
with an impressive collection of resorts to
choose from, each with its own personality
and surrounded by a private beach, and each
with an amazing variety of activities, water
sports, dining options and experiences …
think spectacular seaplane flights to take in
the beauty from above, or scuba diving and
getting up close and personal with creatures
of the deep.
28 Get It Lowveld March 2021

Which resort?
While all rather stylish, they’re also
very chilled. Even in the five-star spots,
enjoying a glass of champagne with
your toes in the sand isn’t merely
acceptable, it’s essential.
Looking for a romantic escape for two,
or something for the whole family?
Resorts like Dhigali and Finolhu don’t
cut any corners on luxury, but also
have amazing kids’ clubs and plenty of
activities that are perfect for bonding
and quality time.
You can opt for the tranquil route
at one of the world-renowned
Cinnamon resorts, or go wild …
the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is all
vibrant nightlife, shopping, and live
entertainment, and where you’ll find
the fantastic marine discovery centre.
If there’s an activity you have your
heart set on, do a little investigation
before you book … there’s snorkelling
with whale sharks at Radisson Blu,
sleeping in a Stargazer Bubble room
under the night sky at Finolhu, and
an underwater fine dining restaurant
and nightclub at Niyama, where
there’s also a brilliant spa.
Overwater, garden, beach?
We’ve all seen photos of idyllic villas
on stilts, hovering over the sparkling
ocean, and this is where they became
famous. Every Maldives resort has a
great selection of water villas, and
there’s nothing quite like it.
You can also opt to stay a few steps
from the shoreline, or surrounded
by lush gardens where kids can
run around and play to their
hearts’ content.
If you’re travelling with a larger group
of friends or family, you should opt for
a celebrity-style suite villa with two or
three bedrooms, sweeping sun decks,
and swanky living areas!
You’ll feel the freedom of fresh air
and open spaces wherever you stay,
but some take it to another level.
At Radisson Blu, for example, the
smallest room is 220 square metres.
It’s all very romantic … many villas
have spa baths or private plunge
pools, some have outdoor showers,
others are built for maximum privacy.
(Top tip: if privacy is high up on
your wish list, book a villa at the end
of a jetty.)
So much to do, so little time
Snorkelling is a firm favourite, and
these waters are home to some of the
world’s most diverse sealife.
Jet skis, kayaks with glass floors so
you can watch the world swim by,
parasailing, kitesurfing, wakeboarding
… each resort has its own great
selection of water sports. (Top tip:
Most all-inclusive deals available
through Priority Escapes include
non-motorised water sports, so you
can dive right in any time.)
Scuba diving in the Maldives is
legendary. Many resorts offer diving
equipment and excursions, and some
provide certified training courses.
All sorts of excursions are available,
along with island favourites such as
sunset cruises and deep-sea fishing.
If you’re comfier on solid ground,
there are fitness centres, beach sports
and games centres, and exceptional
spa centres.
Eat, drink and be merry
Resorts tend to have a main
restaurant where there are seemingly
endless breakfast, lunch and dinner
spreads. The quality is superb, and
there’s so much variety it’s impossible
to try everything (no, that’s not a
challenge!).
But be sure to try the other speciality
bars and restaurants too. From
gourmet, Michelin-starred creations
to zingy street-food-style snack bars,
from private beach dinners under
the stars to glorious ice creams and
colourful cocktails on the beach, the
Maldives is a feast.
You’ll also find impressive wine cellars,
and select suites even have their own
wine bar – Finolhu’s Rockstar Villa has
a wine bar that needs to be seen to
be believed!
The dreaded C-word
We’re a little tired of talking about
Covid-19, but needs must. The
Maldives government has taken steps
to ensure the safety of visitors. While
you don’t need to wear a mask on the
beach or at the swimming pool, they
are required in restaurants and public
indoor areas.
The resorts are designed for
distancing, and privacy has always
been paramount. Spacious layouts
and strict sanitising protocols are in
place – down to someone on standby
to wipe down your sun lounger
before and after you use it.
All the resorts have all changed
their seating plans and switched to
table service wherever possible, to
maximise your safety and comfort.
The deets
This celebrity destination is
surprisingly affordable and easy to
reach. Priority Escapes has secured
unbelievable rates (from as little
as R22 000 for a week) and direct
flights that will get you there in less
than nine hours from O.R. Tambo
International. Some resorts are even
welcoming kids free of charge!
Whichever Maldives adventure you
choose, we have no doubt it will be
the experience of a lifetime. Details
