Book club 

Winter … bed, book and red wine weather! 

Finding love, hope and joy in even the darkest moments. In Lucy Diamond’s The Promise, 

a young man whose brother has just died is on a mission … a project to help pick up the 

pieces and support his grieving sister-in-law Zoe, plus her young children. This is his promise 

– to ensure his family’s happiness, and to try and live up to the man his brother was. But 

tying up loose ends brings a shocking secret to light, and calls into question everything he 

knew about his older brother, and he’s faced with an ultimatum – should he tell the truth 

and risk his family’s fragile happiness, or will his brother’s secrets end up becoming his 

own? Pan Macmillan. • Oh dear. Get the tissues out. Pippo and Clara by Diana Rosie is set 

in Italy in 1938. Mussolini is in power, and war isn’t far off. Clara and Pippo are children, their 

family new to the city. One morning, their mamma goes missing, and 10-year-old Clara 

needs to find her. She doesn’t know which way to turn. A little later, her younger brother 

goes out, looking for his mum and sister. Clara’s turned one way, he turns the other. And 

so their lives are changed forever. In a country torn apart by war, siblings are divided by 

fate. But there’s an invisible bond that connects us to those we love, no matter which 

way we turn. A chilly weekend, a fireplace and soft sofa and a copy of this heart-warming 

novel … heaven. Mantle • Not Dark Yet is Peter Robinson’s latest Alan Banks crime novel, 

which opens with a gruesome double murder at a property developer’s luxury home. 

With a clear link to the notoriously vicious Albanian mafia, it should be an open-and-shut 

case for Superintendent Banks and his team. But when they find a cache of spy-cam videos 

in the house, the investigation pivots to the rape of a young girl, and the murders are cast 

in an entirely different light. Hodder and Stoughton. 

Middelvlei Wines winemaker Tinnie Momberg describes this Free-Run 

Pinotage 2019 as a wine with complex flavours of raspberries, mulberries and 

elegant oak spices, adding that the gentle tannins are perfectly balanced by the 

fruit weight with creamy vanilla flavours that linger on the palate. It’s lovely with 

a braai, and you’ll find it for R150 a bottle from middelvlei.co.za

Traveller 

extraordinaire 

Using travel as a form of self-discovery, Vic Naidoo likes to roam the globe. Restricted 

by lockdown (for now), he revives his wanderlust by sharing his adventures with us. 

Text: BRONWYN FORBES-HARDINGE Photo: PENNY KATZ PHOTOGRAPHY 

resh, unapologetic 

and inclusive, he’s 

the guy who brings 

his honest brand 

of humour to your 

airwaves between 1pm 

and 4pm weekdays. As 

a presenter on KZN’s 

No.1 Hit Music Station, 

East Coast Radio, Vic Naidoo is living 

his dream. The only thing that’s 

missing right now though is the 

freedom to travel – something he is 

incredibly passionate about and finds 

solace in. 

“I absolutely love it! I learn so much 

about me whenever I travel and I 

come back home more connected 

to myself.” 

If it wasn’t for the pandemic, Vic 

would’ve been prepping and 

packing for a trip to Greece or Spain 

this year. They are at the top of his 

bucket list, followed closely by Bali, 

New York and India, which is another 

mission he’s got lined up. 

“I’ve been lucky enough to have 

travelled to many places around 

the world, with London, the South 

of France and Monaco (because I’m 

obsessed with Princess Charlene) 

being my favourites so far. 

The biggest cultural shock I 

experienced while travelling was 

how well public transport works in 

Europe! We could learn a lot. I also 

often like to travel overseas around 

my birthday – to avoid birthday calls 

LOL! And since my mom and I share 

the same birthday, I am dying to treat 

her to a trip to India for our birthday.” 

Reflecting on some of his travel 


experiences, Vic recalls his first trip to 

Germany as being pretty horrendous. 

“I landed in Munich and needed 

to find my way to my hotel from 

the airport, but people were not 

very friendly and I struggled to find 

anyone who could speak English. 

I hopped from one train to the 

next, holding my breath, until well 

after midnight when I eventually 

got off and walked to a little shop 

where I found someone who could 

understand and guide me in the 

right direction. That was the day I 

learnt to read a map!” 

On a trip to Thailand with his family 

Vic says he had a little too much to 

drink on the first night and tripped 

and broke his ankle. “For the next 10 

days, I was stuck in my hotel room 

watching Netflix, while everybody 

else got to enjoy the island! Lesson 

learnt!” 

By far the most enlightening 

experience Vic says he has had was in 

Paris. “I was going through a breakup, 

and took myself off to the Champ de 

Mars - the huge green park behind 

The Eiffel tower – where I treated 

myself to cheese and wine. I spent 

most of the day staring at the tower 

and eventually woke up to the fact 

that life is too short to be sad about 

anyone. That changed everything for 

me.” 

Being more of a romantic and less 

of an adrenalin adventurer, Vic loves 

anything with history and says a visit 

to the Vatican is a must for every first 

time visitor to Rome. “The Vatican 

Museum and St Peters in Vatican City 

are two star attractions steeped in 

history and beautiful architecture 

that has been so well preserved over 

I absolutely love it! I learn so much about 

me whenever I travel and I come back 

home more connected to myself. 

time. This really was a spiritual experience for me. 

“Something hair-raising and fascinating at the same time was the four days I 

spent in Amsterdam. I can ride a bicycle, but learning to ride one along some 

of busiest streets in the world, minding buses and trains and trams on route, is 

a completely different ball game.” 

As for the best views he has ever seen, Vic says it has to be Monaco for the sea 

and its magnificent sunsets. “Monaco Harbour with all its mega yachts...Monte 

Carlo Casino, an iconic landmark that was made to be photographed...it is 

simply stunning, and of course there’s the royal palace perched above it all!” 

When it comes to food, he says, “the best food I ever ate on my travels was a 

pea soup I had in Austria. I’m not sure if it was the soup or the cold that made it 

so delicious!” 

And as for an experience no visitor to France should ever forego, Vic says the 

magic of Paris’ most legendary cabarets, The Moulin Rouge is a must. 

“It was the end of my holiday, I was on the last of my spending money and the 

show cost the equivalent of abut R3 000 at the time, but I didn’t know if I’d ever 

return and I didn’t want to regret not going, so I did. The show was excellent, 

costumes breathtaking, dancers gorgeous and the acts in-between really great. 

This is something that should be done at least once in a person’s life. It was 

worth every cent.” 

Locally, Mpumalanga is one of Vic’s most loved South African travel 

destinations. Otherwise known as the ‘Place where the Sun Rises’, he says 

people are drawn to the province by its magnificent scenery, fauna and flora, 

and the fascinating remnants of the 1870 gold-rush era. 

Being the travel enthusiast he is, Vic’s home is a shrine to all of his wayfaring 

adventures. Lots of colour, loads of quirks and plenty of character. 

“There’s something to capture your eye in every corner. Comfort is the most 

important thing to me and I’ve filled my home with picture frames and 

mementos (crockery, TV blankets and art) from some of my favourite travel 

destinations to remind me of my journeys.” 

The items Vic cannot travel without are his travel wallet to hold his passport, 

money and tickets, a good sunblock and a comfortable pair of sneakers. 

He’s admittedly not brilliant when it comes to saving, but says he lives 

vicariously with the belief that if you want something that much, you will 

always make a plan, and that he does! 


Extreme adventurer 

He’s slept on beaches, in garages and even in drain pipes. He has cycled from Cape 

Town to Cairo and run 4000km across Southern Africa … and now he’s bringing his 

insane sense of adventure and desire to help others to the North Coast.

Some people are born with adrenalin 

coursing through their veins and 

adventure surging through their soul. 

Gaven Sinclair is one such human. 

A professional adventurer, 48-year-old 

Gaven has made it his life’s mission to 

help others by embarking on exciting 

challenges that allow him to chase 

that constant ‘adrenalin high’ that he 

says never goes away. 

His latest challenge, set to take place 

in October, will see him and Ballito All 

Saints Catholic Church pastor, Father 

Stephen Tully, doing a 1000km beach 

walk from Mozambique to Ballito to 

raise funds for the Napier Centre for 

Healing. 

Gaven was born in Johannesburg 

and spent his youth taking part in 

BMX and motocross races and doing 

just about every sport he could. “I got 

my first bicycle and my first taste of 

freedom when I was 4-years-old. From 

then on, my parents always supported 

my sporty, adventurous spirit.” 

After completing his business 

management studies and trying his 

hand in the corporate world, Gaven 

soon realised it wasn’t the right path 

for him. “I never liked to conform and 

I just didn’t fit in. At school I suffered 

with dyslexia and ADD and it was 

very hard. I’m really glad to see how much more awareness there is nowadays in 

schools around kids who are different and that they are being taught how to be 

self-sufficient entrepreneurs.” 

It was in 2015 that Gaven decided he needed a massive shift in his life. Having 

always felt a strong connection to Egypt, he decided to ride his bicycle 

from Cape Town to Cairo while raising funds for a charity organisation. The 

organisation he chose was Missing Children SA and it took him nine months to 

complete the trip. 

“I’ve always been addicted to adrenalin and endorphins – I chase that feeling 

every day of my life. I love bending the ‘fear metre’ and pushing myself beyond 

my own perceived limits.” 

In true Gaven style, he decided not to train for the adventure (and says his 

buttocks were very sore for the first week). He also decided not to go the 

traditional route, but rather to make his way up along the East Coast of Africa. 

He travelled through Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and 

finally, Egypt. “I had lots of media following me along the way, which was great 

for the tourism in each of the areas and I met the most fascinating people. I 

would say ninety-nine percent of the trip was amazing … but there were one or 

two occasions where I had to pedal for my life,” Gaven laughs. 

He did the entire trip completely alone. “I don’t think it’s a real challenge if 

you have a support vehicle with you. I wanted to do it completely solo and 

somehow, I just believed everything would work out okay. I believe in never 

allowing the fear of the unknown to paralyse you.” 

Gaven’s trip certainly was an adventure and one that, he says, he managed to 

complete because of the kindness and support of the people around him. “I 


Gaven ran 4000km across 

Southern Africa in 2016 

never felt lonely and there was always someone to talk to. 

It was humbling on so many levels. I slept everywhere – 

from hotels to drain pipes and camp sites to garages - and 

I always managed to find something to eat.” 

After returning home for a short six months, Gaven was 

ready for his next adventure. Representing the same 

charity organisation, he set out to run 4000km across 

Southern Africa. 

He started his run in St Lucia, running north towards 

Mozambique. He went across to Botswana, Namibia and 

down the West Coast of SA, finishing the trip in Cape 

Town. 

“It wasn’t easy and I really had to listen to my body. I would 

sometimes run up to 40km in one day and I had to carry a 

10kg backpack with me (mostly for water) at times. Gaven 

says he ate lots of spinach and lots of beans and always 

managed to find a Coca-Cola! 

In the past few years Gaven has embarked on other 

challenges, like swimming from an island called Iles de 

Mozambique to Mozambique mainland in 2019 and 

running 388km along the beach in Mozambique in 2020. 

“I just need to do these things all the time,” he says. 

Although Covid brought with it some challenges for 

Gaven, he has now returned to South Africa and started 

his own adventure company called Get Lost Adventures, 

which sees him taking individuals, groups and corporates 

on adventures. He is also a motivational speaker and life 

coach. 

He is also gathering momentum for his fundraising walk 

in October in aid of the Napier Centre for Healing. The 

centre for recovering drug addicts aims to support and 

reintegrate addicts back into society. 

Asked about his future goals, Gaven says he has many 

adventures still to tackle … and he would like to star in a 

reality show one day! “So many people have helped me 

get to where I am and achieve what I have and I’m really 

open to trying anything. I believe everyone should chase 

their dreams, no matter how wacky they are!” One day 

in the future though, Gaven says, he would like to build 

himself a bamboo treehouse and live a quiet, secluded, 

simple life.

Being truly healthy is about more 

than just losing weight or being 

able to run or cycle for hours on 

end. It’s about having a strong 

immune system and following 

a balanced, sustainable lifestyle. 

And, according to Kate, it all starts 

with knowing how to breathe 

correctly. 

“I truly believe that stress is the 

root cause of almost all health 

ailments. Stress directly affects 

our gut and poor gut health 

leads to all other illnesses. Being 

aware of and able to control your 

breathing is the very best way to 

manage your stress.” 

After hearing a little about her 

childhood and upbringing, it’s 

Just breathe 

Good health starts with simply knowing how 

to breathe correctly, says Salt Rock nutritionist, 

lifestyle coach and yoga practitioner Kate Arnott. 

She shares her knowledge and some useful 

advice for sustainable, holistic health. 

not hard to understand why the 

lovely, petite Kate is as passionate 

about health and the natural 

environment as she is. 

“My brother, sister and I were 

brought up in a mud house 

(also known as wattle and 

daub), designed and built by 

our mother, in the Midlands. 

All of our holidays were spent 

camping in the bush in rural 

parts of Botswana, Mozambique, 

Zimbabwe and South Africa. We 

were also always treated with 

natural, alternative medication 

and I’ve actually never been on an 

antibiotic for being sick. I think it 

can be hard for parents to remain 

true to their beliefs these days, 

but my mom did. I definitely got 

my passion for health and my 

connection to nature from her,” 

says Kate. 

After attending boarding school 

in Hilton, Kate moved to Cape 

Town where she did an honours 

degree in nutrition science. Her 

special interest (and her thesis) 

was on stress management and 

gut health and the link between 

the two. “It was quite a new 

concept at the time, but I think 

people have a much better 

understanding of it these days.” 

Although she was always very 

active growing up, competing in 

multiple Dusi canoe marathons 

and doing lots of trail running, 


Kate only discovered the benefits 

of yoga a little later in life. “I found 

yoga to be one of the best forms of 

exercise to still give me a really good 

workout while also allowing me to 

enjoy the profound benefits it has 

on stress management.” She is now 

an advanced yoga instructor, having 

done over 500 hours of teacher 

training, and has been teaching for 

over four years. 

After her studies, Kate found 

herself back in the bush, working 

as a massage therapist and yoga 

instructor at both Phinda and 

Londolozi Game Reserves for a 

year. Then she moved to Ballito 

where she took up a job working at 

a health shop. “I knew I wanted to 

be in nature and felt a strong pull 

towards the ocean. I loved working 

with Judy at Lifestyle Health and 

learnt an incredible amount.” 

Now Kate runs her own nutrition 

and yoga practice, incorporating 

her knowledge and experience with 

her passion for ancient philosophies 

and alternative healthcare. During 

her yoga classes, Kate puts a lot of 

emphasis on correct breathing. “I 

cue every breath and my focus is on 

helping people manage their stress 

through their breath awareness. It 

sounds so simple – all you have to 

do is breathe – but it is truly such 

a profound healing modality. It 

improves your immune system and 

helps with inflammation, gut health, 

chronic pain and your mental state.” 

Very often, Kate says, we try to 

overcomplicate things and rush 

through life to get to our goals. The 

key to living a healthy, balanced life 

though is learning to slow down 

and appreciate more. I think how we 

breathe is how we do life. There are 

so many lessons that you can take 

off the yoga mat and into everyday 

life.” 

When it comes to nutrition, Kate 

also says we can use our food as 

medicine, but if we are in a chronic 

state of stress, we won’t extract the 

nutrients we need from the food 

we eat. “I believe in eating a wellrounded 

diet and don’t believe in 

extreme dieting. There is a time and 

place for supplements and vitamins, 

but I believe that if you eat for the 

environment, and your body is in 

balance, you’ll get the nutrients you 

need from your food.” 

Kate, who is also a qualified Neurolinguistic 

programming (NLP) 

practitioner, offers packages for her 

clients, which can include just the 

nutrition side, nutrition and yoga or 

just yoga. She offers private, group 

and online yoga classes. 

“My goal is to identify where the 

stress is coming from in your life 

and the impact it’s having on your 

health. Then I use different protocols 

to ‘clean up’ the body, detox and 

minimise stress.”

nutritional_alchemy, @kate_arnott_ 

Kate’s tips for improving 

health and managing 

your stress: 

1. Awareness: Be aware of 

how you talk to yourself and 

whether your thoughts are 

positive are negative. Find 

things to appreciate around 

you all the times – especially in 

moments of negativity (it could 

be a flower or a sunset ... just 

something small to be thankful 

for). The more we practice 

doing this, the more we elevate 

our state of being and we’ll 

naturally make better choices 

to match that greater state. 

2. Learn to breathe. Be aware 

of your breaths and find a 

trainer (yoga, pilates or any 

fitness trainer) who is breathfocussed 

and will help you. 

You will eventually carry those 

breathing techniques into your 

daily life, even when you’re not 

exercising. 

3. Start slowly. Just take one 

step, and one goal, at a time. 

We all want to get to our goals 

quickly and often our approach 

is extreme and not sustainable. 

Small, daily changes will 

ultimately lead to a sustainable 

lifestyle. 

4. Get into nature. Nature 

is so healing in itself and we 

need to realise that the more 

we support the environment, 

the more it will support us. Eat 

for the environment – wellbalanced, 

quality-based diet. 

Use the produce to make 

simple food and don’t get 

caught up with fancy recipes 

and meals. Simplify. 

5. Laugh and have fun. Don’t 

become too serious about 

your health and over think 

everything! Don’t take life too 

seriously. Learn a few simple, 

good practices and implement 

them slowly. 


Ballito beauties 

The young lady who walks away with the title of Miss Ballito 2021 will need to have more 

than just a pretty face. We found out more about the pageant and this year’s top 10 finalists. 

During the next stage of the pageant, 

the girls will go through an induction 

and mentor programme where they 

will participate in workshops and be 

taught a number of life skills, from life 

coaching to goal setting to advice on 

healthy living and exercise. 

Each contestant has to find two 

financial sponsors (all proceeds go 

towards Zimbali Rotary and The North 

Coast Courier Orphan Fund) and they 

have to come up with and implement 

their sustainable, community-based 

project. There will be a cocktail 

evening on 15 July at The Marigold in 

Ballito, followed by the final crowning 

evening on 6 August at the Simbithi 

Country Club. Members of the public 

can buy tickets to either of these 

events. There is also a prize for the 

contestant who gets the most votes 

on social media.

A desire to make a difference, being confident and goal-driven and having a 

strong passion for community are amongst the criteria that will be considered 

when the judges hand over the crown and title of Miss Ballito on the crowning 

evening next month. 

The Miss Ballito pageant is the biggest fundraising event of the year for Zimbali 

Rotary. The contestants not only raise money for the charity organisation 

by securing financial sponsors, but they are also required to start their own 

sustainable, community-based projects. “Their chosen project is one of the 

biggest parts of the judging criteria,” says pageant coordinator Heidie Smith. “The 

girls are not only judged on how pretty they look on the crowning evening.” 

The initial, interview round has already taken place and Heidie says the judges 

chose their top 10 finalists after meeting each entrant individually. This year’s 

judges are North Coast Courier publisher and founder Bruce Stephenson, 

Enterprise Ilembe acting CEO Cheryl Peters, actress and artist Hannah Grobler, 

entrepreneur Ann van Jaarsveld and KwaDukuza head lifeguard, international 

surfing judge and surfing SA vice president Bongani Xulu. 

“The top 10 finalists were chosen based on how they presented themselves, their 

confidence, their goals and passions and their interest in and desire to help the 

community.”

The younger you 

At Lasersure and Dr Frances Prinsloo Inc, we are often asked if we can stop aging. Unfortunately, 

the answer to that is simply, ‘no’. Aging is not just a singular process but has many factors that 

contribute to it. Luckily, we can help with slowing the process down and assist in refreshing and 

rejuvenating your skin, in order to bring out the best in an already beautiful you! 

Due to the aging process being 

multifactorial, our approach is a holistic 

one, which uses a combination of 

therapies to reach our goal. So why 

combination therapies? Well, when we 

classify aging, we look at the following 

features: skin texture and tone, wrinkles, 

sagging and volume loss, as well as sun 

damage. Therefore, when assessing a 

person’s concerns with regards to aging, 

we want to address all these signs and 

features and use them as a guide for 

which therapies are the most suitable to 

their specific aging needs. 

There are many tools on offer in the 

ever-developing aesthetics field and we 

are fortunate to be able to offer many 

of these to our clients to address their 

anti-aging concerns. 

These include: 

• Injectables: filler, toxin, threads 

and mesotherapy. These are used to 

diminish fine lines and wrinkles and 

to replace volume loss or enhance 

features. 

• In-house treatments: Microneedling, 

PRP, peels (both acidic and alkali), 

radiofrequency and various laser 

treatments, namely: Limelight for 

pigmentation and redness; Laser 

Genesis, which is the at the forefront for 

antiaging as it has little to no downtime, 

is relatively safe in everyone and it can 

be used in combination with many 

treatments to work in synergy with 

them and ND yag Skin tightening. 

• Apart from cleansing and moisturizing, 

we encourage our patients to use SPF, a 

topical antioxidant and retinol for those 

in the need. 

• Due to our holistic approach, we take 

into consideration not only external 

factors such as sun and pollution, but 

also internal factors, such as hormones. 

We can do an in-depth analysis of 

hormones and address any imbalances. 

Lasersure is an established facility with years of experience in the antiaging industry. 

We are a doctor--run facility and our doctors, who have a vast wealth of knowledge 

and years of experience in the aesthetic field, are hands-on and involved in getting 

your desired outcome. As we are results-driven, it is important to us that we 

understand the skin, body and face and what it takes to reach the end goal. Our 

therapists are well trained in understanding the skin and its needs and our doctors 

and therapists are always willing to answer any questions you may have. 

We are proud of the professional environment we have created, where all your 

aesthetic needs can be met, but also an environment that is peaceful and nourishing. 

So, if you are a ‘toe in the water’ type of person, come and chat to one of our very 

knowledgeable therapists (or book a consult with one of our doctors) so they can 

assess your concerns and discuss and design a treatment plan that suits your needs 

and your budget.

Getting fit … in the garden! 

Raise your hand if you’re 

a busy, exhausted, unfit 

mom who is a little (or 

maybe a lot?) intimidated 

by the traditional gym 

environment? If your hand 

is up, then you are exactly 

the kind of woman South 

African champion athlete 

Lauren Cannon wants in 

her garden gym. 

Mount Edgecombe mother of two 

Lauren has gone from being a highperformance 

athlete, doing hours 

of training every day, to teaching 

women who hate exercise just how 

amazing the feeling of endorphins 

really is and just how much it lifts 

your spirit and mental state. And she’s 

doing it from her garden! 

Lauren was first featured in the Get 

It magazine in 2019 when, just six 

months after undergoing major foot 

surgery and being told that she may 

never compete again, she not only 

finished first in the KZN Olympic 

distance champs, but won the 70.3 

Durban Ironman as well. 

Lauren loves a challenge and has 

learned to weather them well. She 

gave birth to her two daughters, 

Scarlett and Stella, just 19 months 

apart (in 2015 and 2016) and, despite 

being told by her doctor that she 

would never be able to run more than 

5km after her foot surgery, she set 

her sights on achieving her goals and 

reached them. 

But now (like for many of us) her life 

has taken a slightly different turn. 

Lauren has given up competitive 

racing for the time being and has 

started a small, intimate personal gym 

called Fitness Garden in her garden. 

And she absolutely loves it. “It has 

been the most incredible transition 

and my cup has never been this full.” 


Lauren’s aim was to create a gym that offers not only a Covid-friendly 

environment, but also a more ‘chilled’ approach to gym. “I believe in working hard 

at the gym, but didn’t want to create an environment where people would be 

embarrassed about their bodies, fitness abilities or strength.” 

During her classes, Lauren says she does absolutely everything with her clients. 

She has six identical stations and everyone does the same exercises but with 

different weights. “My biggest goal is to show unfit, busy moms the power of 

endorphins. There is no better feeling than setting goals and achieving them 

– whether they be weight loss, fitness and strength or just enjoying the rush of 

endorphins you get after a good one-hour workout.” 

Lauren has learned a number of lessons on her journey from professional, 

competitive athlete to a females-only gym trainer and has also seen changes in 

her own body. “I’ve learnt that looking thin and lean doesn’t mean you are strong 

and fit. When I am my strongest and winning events my body is very different to 

what it is today. It is very ‘block like’ and, in fact I look much bigger than I look at

the moment. I usually train a minimum of four hours 

a day and honestly didn’t look that great in a bikini! 

Now doing gym I am much leaner; I hardly do any 

cardio, use very light weights and am able to control 

my eating as I am not over-exerting myself with 

cardio.” 

Probably one of the things that stands out most for 

Lauren, she says, is how intimidated many women 

are by gyms. “They worry that they are not fit 

enough, they don’t have the right kit and are very 

self-conscious. Those are the people I love getting 

in my hands! There is no greater gift for me than to 

show them the power of an endorphin-rush!” 

While training is an important part of being fit and 

healthy and reaching your goals, Lauren admits that 

eighty-five to ninety percent of what our bodies 

look like starts in the kitchen, which is why she works 

closely with a dietician from Johannesburg named 

Michelle Hawksworth. “I am not a qualified dietician 

(although I have done many many fad diets to keep 

myself thin) and I believe this side of the program 

needs to be out-sourced. Michelle is amazing.” 

Lauren’s biggest focus at Fitness Garden, is ensuring 

that her gym is a safe haven for women to come 

together - and a happy place for working hard and 

having a friendly chat (only after class though!). The 

Fitness Garden training days are Monday to Sunday, 

R150 per session (your first session is free).

There are six identical 

workout stations in 

Lauren’s garden.

Fabulous food fundi’s 

To know Jason and Melanie is to love them! Bubbly, interesting and always up for a 

chat, the Ballito couple started their restaurant-owning journey 10 years ago and have 

won awards and the hearts and loyalties of both their patrons and staff along the way. 

“It could be just a toasted cheese 

sandwich. Or, if it’s made with beautiful, 

home-baked bread and filled with 

locally-sourced, excellent quality cheeses 

... it could be a glorious toasted cheese 

sandwich!” 

Jason Powell is passionate about food. 

More than that though, he is passionate 

about educating others about good 

food. “It doesn’t have to be complicated 

or intimidating. It just has to be 

made properly with the best possible 

ingredients,” says the 41-year old father of 

two. 

Jason and his wife, Melanie Reeder-Powell, 

are the owners and founders of Food 

Fundi at Sugar Rush Park, which opened 

during lockdown last year. They also own 

the Ocean Basket in Ballito, which they 

opened four years ago. 

Born in the Lowveld, Jason has always 

been a foodie at heart. After completing 

a Bcom degree, he set about pursuing 

his dream of becoming a chef. Jason 

trained at Prue Leith culinary school in 

Pretoria, before heading off to start his 

work experience in high-end lodges 

around southern Africa. One of his first 

Food Fundi owners and 

founders Melanie and Jason

one of their picnic boxes and find a spot under the trees!) 

placements was at a five-star lodge on 

a secluded island off of Mozambique 

called Vamizi. Jason’s highlight, while 

working as the head chef at this 

exclusive lodge, was being able to 

cook for the late Nelson Mandela 

and Graca Machel, who stayed at the 

lodge for two weeks. 

There were also massive challenges 

though, as the island was extremely 

remote and even water had to 

be brought in on dhows. “It was a 

great learning curve. I had to make 

everything from scratch, I had to 

forage and figure things out. If I 

wanted bread, I baked it, if I wanted 

veggies, I had to grow them.” 

After that Jason got a job as the head 

chef at a top hunting and fishing 

lodge situated on a fjord on the west 


coast of Norway. When Jason returned to South Africa for a wedding in 2007 he 

met the woman who would one day become his wife. 

Originally from Umtata, Melanie is a qualified and highly experienced magazine 

journalist and published author. When they met, Mel was living in Johannesburg, 

working as the beauty editor at a top national magazine. “I loved the lifestyle I 

was leading in Johannesburg and I loved my job, but I had started to feel like I 

needed something different.” 

Melanie studied English Literature at Rhodes university and did a post-graduate 

degree in Publishing at Wits. After working on some of the biggest magazine 

titles in the country, she was commissioned by Penguin Random House SA 

to the write the biography of a fascinating KZN-based sangoma named Elliot 

Ndlovu, called A Sangoma’s Story. 

Jason and Mel got married in 2009 and decided to move to Nelspruit the 

following year. “We wanted a fresh start and had heard that there may be 

catering opportunities in the Lowveld.” 

They opened their first Food Fundi – a coffee shop and deli - with just four tables 

in April 2011. It didn’t take long for the cafe and the catering side of the business 

to grow. 

“People loved our recipes and our approach to food. We make everything, from 

the bread to the brownies and the chutneys and relishes, from scratch – and we 

still use most of those original recipes today,” says Jason. 

The business grew steadily and after a few years, it had transformed into a 

140-seater restaurant. They opened a second cafe at the private hospital, where 

they were also doing the catering for all the staff and patients. Jason and Mel 

lived in Nelspruit for seven years, during which time they had their two children, 

Georgina and Samuel. 

When an opportunity presented itself – in the form of opening a new Ocean 

Basket franchise in Ballito in 2017 - Mel and Jason decided to give it a go. At the 

time, they were struggling with both children being constantly ill and in and out 

of hospital. Their doctor, who wasn’t able to diagnose the kids, suggested they 

simply try moving to a different area. 

“We really liked the Ocean Basket franchise and the family-owned business’ ethos 

resonated with us. It’s an authentic brand and one we knew we could get on 

board with,” says Jason. While they have faced massive challenges (like massive 

damage from a raging storm in 2019 

and lockdown in 2020), their Ocean 

Basket branch has done exceptionally 

well and is now considered one of the 

restaurant chain’s flagship stores. 

During lockdown, the Sugar Rush Park 

shareholders asked Mel and Jason 

to take over the restaurant. “We were 

keen for another opportunity and 

it just made sense. People want to 

spend time in an outdoor, healthy, 

fresh-air environment.” They decided 

to open another Food Fundi. 

Having revived their timeless, tried 

and tested (and loved) recipes, the 

couple have successfully run the 

restaurant for just over a year – and it 

continues to grow from strength to 

strength. 

Almost everything is made from 

scratch. “What I can’t make, I will 

source as locally as possible,” says 

Jason. The deli side of the business is 

also growing and Jason has his own 

smoker on site, where he smokes 

olives and even cauliflower! He makes 

atchar and pestos and they sell 

ready-to-go picnic boxes, filled with 

beautiful cheeses, parma ham and 

homemade relishes! 

Investing in their staff is one of Mel 

and Jason’s top priorities and they 

have spent a lot of time working hard 

to fine-tune the service and systems 

in place at the restaurant. “We believe 

in serving simple, tasty food. We make 

sure we get the basics right and don’t 

overcomplicate things.”

estaurant Review 

Perfect chicken & pizza! 

Delicious chicken and the some of the tastiest wood-fired pizzas we’ve ever had … 

the Get It girls were invited for lunch at Umhlanga’s yummiest new spot! 


Perched on the corner in Umhlanga’s 

bustling village centre, the newly 

opened Bird & Co store is a great spot 

to sit back with a glass of wine or cold 

beer and enjoy a delicious meal. We 

know, because we tried it! 

Owners and long-time Durban 

restaurateurs, Derryck Myers and Alan 

Lazarus (who also happen to own 

the Butcher Boys in the same street) 

invited the Get It girls to experience 

a selection of tasty treats from their 

menu and Alan sat down for a quick 

chat with us while we were there. 

“I’ve been in the restaurant industry 

for 50 years and I’ve never served food 

like this. It’s freshly prepared, tasty 

and easy going,” says the Umhlanga 

franchise co-owner. 

With six branches around the country, 

four of which are in KZN, the trendy 

Bird & Co brand has become popular 

on the North Coast. The Umhlanga 

branch offers the same, absolutely 

to-die-for favourites that the Ballito 

store first introduced to our palates. 

They also recently just took home the 

title of KZN’s best Peri-Peri chicken, 

bestowed upon them by the well-known Facebook group, GBN (Good, Bad & 

Nasty). 

The secret, Alan says, is in the quality of the ingredients ... and those absolutely 

delicious sauces! “We don’t skimp on anything and the quality of our ingredients 

is very important to us.” 

After being served our drinks, our team lunch started off with a few slices of 

pizza. We ordered the Capri (mozzarella, bacon, feta, caramelised onion, avo and 

rocket) and the Bird & Co (mozzarella, peri mayo, chicken, chorizo, caramelised 

onion and rocket). Both of these wood-fired oven pizzas were crisp, fresh and full 

of flavour … and paired perfectly with an ice-cold glass of white wine! 

Chicken, of course, is the hero of the menu at Bird & Co and Alan took the liberty 


of ordering us a smorgasbord of dishes to share. We tried 

the deboned chilli-peri chicken, the deboned chicken 

thighs on a skewer, chicken wings and the crumbed 

chicken strips! Sides included the yummiest lime 

coleslaw, fries and rice. Everything was super tasty and 

the braver of us even took advantage of the ‘extra hot’ 

chilli sauce we had on the side! 

What blew us away more than anything was the 

incredible value for money of each of these dishes. At just 

R110, the scrumptious half deboned chicken with a side 

is an absolute steal, as is the chicken burger and chips for 

just R65 and the three deboned thighs for just R85. 

There are veggie options for the non-chicken eaters, such 

as the halloumi wrap or halloumi burger and there are 

salads for those looking for something on the healthier 

side. 

Something else we love about Bird & Co is its affiliation 

with our favourite locally-made ice cream brand, Scoop. 

Bird & Co Umhlanga is the only branch to have a whole 

Scoop freezer in the store – so you can enjoy a yummy 

scoop or two (or take a tub home) after your meal! 

Having been in the Durban restaurant industry for so 

many years, Alan says it’s been wonderful to have had 

such great support since they opened this store three 

months ago. “It is such a great product and, after chatting 

to each customer, I know I can always walk away feeling 

confident and proud of the food we are serving.”

avo-licious 

winter goodness 

Celebrate the 2021 avo season by adding an 

avo (or two) to your family’s winter meals. 

There are the buttery, creamy, green-skinned avo 

varieties … Fuerte, Edranol, Ryan, Reed and Pinkerton. 

And then there’s the rich, nutty, dark-skinned Hass, 

Maluma Hass and Lamb Hass. It’s hard to choose a 

favourite, but we don’t have to. While we love the fact 

that South African avos are available almost all year 

round, we’re fortunate they are in plentiful supply in 

winter. Why? Well, besides tasting heavenly, they may offer 

immune support in the colder months. Did you know avos 

are high in copper, a source of fibre (5.3g fibre per 100g) and 

contain antioxidants? Copper is known to support immune 

system function. Fibre is essential for good gut health … 

around 65% of the immune system is housed in the gut, which 

regulates immunity and helps to protect against invading 

pathogens that cause disease. Antioxidants are powerful food 

components that maintain and regulate immune function, and 

avos contain the antioxidant nutrients lycopene and 

beta-carotene. So not only are avos delicious, they’re also a 

source of nutrients, and they’re versatile and super quick and 

easy to add to almost any meal.

Preparation time: 10 minutes 

Cooking time: 45 minutes 

Ingredients: 

1 large or 2 small avocados; 50g assorted cocktail 

tomatoes; 4 garlic cloves, crushed; 150ml 

avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil, divided in 

half; sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; 

1 block (approximately 200g) Greek feta cheese; 

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional); 

300g dried pasta, medium-size shape; fresh basil 

leaves, for serving. 

Method: 

Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a baking dish, 

combine half the oil, tomatoes, garlic and 

seasoning and toss to coat. Place the block of 

feta in the centre of the dish and sprinkle with 

chilli flakes, if using. Bake in preheated oven for 

40 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta 

is golden brown. 

While the tomato is cooking, boil the pasta in 

salted water until al dente, drain and set aside. 

Peel and dice the avocado. 

Remove tomatoes and feta from the oven, toss 

with the pasta and diced avocado and 

drizzle with the remaining oil. 

Serve hot in bowls and garnish with fresh 

basil leaves.

It was their design of this modern, eco-friendly 

home that lead to a Ballito-based architectural 

firm recently being shortlisted for an International 

Design and Architecture award. We chatted to 

architect and founder, Gerhard Breedt. 


“Every site has a has an essence. A story it wants to tell and a way it wants to be 

treated. This site was no different.” Gerhard Architect founder Gerhard Breedt 

loves what he does. 

He started his company 16 years ago in office which, he says, was so small 

that he had to meet clients in the coffee shop across the road! Now his firm 

is receiving acknowledgement on an international platform and he is being 

recognised for his environmentally-aware, integrated approach to design. We 

chatted to him about this incredible Mount Richmore Estate home. 

What prompted you to enter this particular property into the 

awards? We were actually contacted and asked if we would consider entering 

this home in two categories (Luxury Residence - Global Award and Project Value 

of 1 - 2.5million Pounds) after a social media post. The fact that the property was 

picked up on an international platform and recognised was what prompted us 

to pursue the nomination to the next level. 

Tell us about this home and the client’s brief to you when you 

set out to design this home? This is a permanent family home, but the 

owners wanted it to have the feel of a holiday home where one can ‘escape’ 

to from day-to-day stresses and routine. Our goal was to design a modern but 

timeless home with clean design lines, floating planes and integrated, eco-friendly 

elements and timberworks. We focussed on creating open plan living areas, 

a sense of ‘arrival’ and integrating the sea and forest views. There are four bedrooms 

(all en-suite) and an open plan living (kitchen, dining, lounge) area, all of 

which seamlessly lead out to the large outside veranda. There is a private study/ 

office space, a second lounge and balconies off of all the bedrooms. There is 

also a massive lap pool and we maximized the beautiful ocean and inland bush 

views, while still ensuring privacy. 

How did the location and the look and feel of the estate influence 

the design? The site has beautiful sea views, as well views of a stunning 

forest greenbelt. We wanted it to feel as though you were in the forest when you 

enter through the double-volume foyer with floating bridge, which we staggered 

slightly to maximise the sea views. Every estate has an ethos and code to 

create a ‘standard’ to be upheld. The Mount Richmore Estate architectural code 

allows for quite a modern, coastal interpretation and expressiveness. 

Architect Gerhard Breedt 

How did you achieve the 

almost seamless indoor/ 

outdoor flow of the home? 

Integrated inside-outside living was 

a non-negotiable directive from the 

clients. Large sliding glass panels that 

‘disappear’ and a lot of large glass 

elements on the view sides blur the 

lines between the inside and outside 

to a large extent. It also helped greatly 

that there was no level change between 

the inside and outside. 

What are some of your favourite 

design elements of 

this home? We love the design as a 

whole and how every element plays 

its part. We do, however, feel that a 

home must have a sense of arrival 

and just love the entrance detail, from 

when you open the massive doors 

and then just experience the forest 

right in front of you. Strong horizontal 

planes and large glass areas further 

enhance the integrated feel between 

the home and its surroundings. 

What does it mean to you to 

have been shortlisted for 

these awards? As a small, passionate 

firm receiving international 

recognition means a lot. It’s so great 

knowing that your architectural 

abilities are not only being recognised 

and showcased, but also confirms 

our theory that limitations are just 

a self-imposed concept … and that 

‘David and Goliath’ do indeed fight on 

the same battlefield!

Vibrant 

winter 

We’re planting …Verbena ‘Firehouse’ for vibrant Winter and Spring colour on 

the patio and in the garden. It is a spreading verbena, up to 55cm, that works 

well as a filler in mixed containers and baskets, as well as a ground cover in 

gardens. Start it in a pot for colour on a warm, sunny patio that is protected 

from frost. As a garden plant, it needs frost protection and if planted now will 

provide Spring into Summer colour. It tolerates heat, grows in ordinary garden 

soil that drains well and likes regular, but not excessive watering. Its wide range 

of colours makes it easy to add to any garden colour scheme. Also resistant 

to powdery mildew. New colours include ‘Blue Fizz’ and ‘Violet Wink’. Details:

Indoor plant of the month 

Peperomia ‘watermelon’ is a striking 

little plant with large, fleshy leaves that 

look like the rind of a watermelon. 

Even when fully grown, it is compact 

and bushy, fitting easily on a bookcase, 

desktop, windowsill or wherever its 

unusual leaves can be appreciated. 

This is a good plant for a beginner, as it 

is easy to care for. It just needs enough 

bright light and no over watering. 

Details: lvgplants.co.za 


Garden tasks for July 

• Prune bush roses from 20 July to the first week in August. 

Cut back bushes by one-third, removing 

dead wood and old stems, criss-crossing and weak growth. 

Enrich the soil after pruning with compost, fertilise and 

water well. 

• In dry areas, water the compost heap once a month to 

keep it active. 

• Fertilise pansies, violas, petunias, and primulas to keep 

them flowering. 

• Water veggies once a week and feed once a month with a 

liquid fertiliser. 

• Cover tender plants with frost cloth if very cold weather is 

predicted. 

• Water vegetables and herbs in containers twice a week. 

• Continue to protect conifers from the Italian cypress 

aphid with an organic insecticide or use insecticide 

granules sprinkled around the base of the conifer. 

Veggie of the month 

There is nothing sweeter than eating garden peas from 

the pod. ‘Tom Thumb’ is a dwarf bush 

pea from RAW seeds that is 

fun for the kids to plant in 

containers or small spaces. 

Plants grow 30cm high and 

10cm wide, which means 

that you can plant them 

10cm apart along a mini 

trellis. Pods are best when 

harvested young, within 50 

days from germination. The 

peas are sweet and crunchy. 

Tips for garden peas 

• Grow in full sun. • Plant in 

fertile, compost-enriched soil 

or potting soil. • Keep the soil 

moist, especially for plants 

in containers. • Fertilise once 

a month. • Keep on picking, 

especially to encourage new 

pods. Details: rawliving.co.za

Retirement planning … 

an important checklist 

A well-planned retirement is key to the comfortable, secure and stress-free life you 

envisage. By giving it a great deal of thought ahead of time, fine-tuning your needs 

and wants, and exploring the numerous options out there, you’ll be perfectly placed to 

find the perfect solution. 

For many, retirement is a somewhat daunting concept. The secret is in playing an 

active role in the planning – recognising this chapter of life as a reality, viewing it 

positively, and celebrating the opportunities it presents. It goes without saying that 

financial planning is the most important factor and talking to your financial planner is 

a crucial step when looking into the future. It’s not only about the rental or purchase 

of a retirement unit or home, living expenses, covering of levies, rates and utilities, but 

also factoring in the unknown – any potential health or care expenses. Once you have 

a clear picture of your financial situation, you’ll want to compile a personal checklist of 

non-negotiable and ‘nice-to-have’ elements. You might want to choose a retirement 

village close to where you live now – near friends and familiar places – you’ll certainly 

want to be near family. Geoff Perkins of Collins Residential, the developers of Mount 

Edgecombe Retirement Village, shares a quick checklist to assist with getting the 

planning process started: 

• Consider your family: being near them or at least near to an airport is important to 

consider. 

• Hobbies and like-minded communities: being surrounded by a community who share 

common interests and values greatly enhances quality of life. If the idea of neighbourly 

activities and events such as gardening, walking or group exercise has appeal, then 

planning to settle in a community-orientated estate should be factored in. 

• If wanderlust is important: a secure, lock-up-and-go is the ideal solution. 

• Pets: For many, finding a pet-friendly retirement solution is at the top of the list. 

• Do you enjoy socialising? A retirement community can offer wonderful socialising 

opportunities, companionship and ways to meet new people. 

• For the active: golf, tennis, a gym. For many, staying fit and active is non-negotiable, so 

ensure your estate shortlist gives you access to these facilities. 

• Do you bird watch, hike or walk? Similarly, you’d want to live on an eco-estate or near 

safe ‘wild’ areas with trails or boardwalks. The North Coast offers a range of estates that 

are based on this principle. 

• Health matters: whether or not you have existing health care concerns, the option of 

having access to a full-service health care facility should be a careful consideration. 

• Security is a reality: most villages and estates have good security, but think about your 

latter years - panic buttons and response services should be jotted down. 

• Facilities: If you don’t drive or have a 

car, plan to retire in an estate where 

regular trips to local shopping centres 

and outings could be important to you. 

Similarly, a clubhouse, hairdresser or a 

coffee shop on site could be beneficial. 

• Family fundamentals: visitor’s parking, 

whether you can comfortably entertain 

and even planning to ensure your 

grandchildren/ friends are able to stay 

overnight is often overlooked, so be sure 

to add this important item to the list. 

You will definitely have a host of 

questions and considerations that 

pertain specifically to your particular 

lifestyle, Geoff says. “Jot them down. 

All that information helps you build a 

picture of where you’d like to be, and 

what facilities you need when the time 

arrives. We have invested an enormous 

amount of research and thought into 

our design and facilities. Understanding 

what retirees are looking forward to, 

we’ve worked hard to establish an estate 

in which the community itself plays 

an active role in establishing activities, 

clubs and the like. Retirement can 

really be a wonderful time of life, full of 

opportunities and fewer responsibilities.”

TRELLIDOR ESTATE SHUTTER 

BEAUTIFUL ESTATE SHUTTER 

If your window treatments are starting to look tatty or old fashioned and you’re looking for a fresh approach, consider replacing them with 

shutters. They’ll update your home instantly, with their sleek, modern lines and classy look. Shutters do more than just look beautiful. You can 

adjust the louvres to get the right amount of privacy, sunlight, and air flow. Or close the louvres to block out irritating noise and to stop 

monkeys and baboons from getting inside your home to help themselves to your fruit basket. Louvre shutters vary in design and material, so 

do some research and find the type that best suits your circumstances.

classy coastal escape 

This exquisite, recently updated Umdloti beach home is the epitome of all that is 

wonderful about North Coast living and holidaying. Just take a peek inside … 

Text: Leah Shone | Photographs: Chris Allan Photo 


From the elegant, stylish décor to the 

prime location and flowing indoor 

and outdoor living areas, there is 

simply nothing not to love about 

this home. It is contemporary coastal 

design at its best. 

Having recently been bought for 

holiday rental purposes, the fivebedroom 

beachfront property was 

touched up and made ‘holiday ready’ 

by KZN interior design guru, Lee 

Moon of Lee Moon Interior Design. 

“The previous owner has such 

impeccable taste that we really 

haven’t had to change a lot,” says 

Lee. “She left a lot of the furniture 

and décor behind and we simply 

‘filled the gaps’ where she had taken 

meaningful pieces with her.” 

Having been in the interior design 

industry for over 30 years, Lee says 

it is very important to her to get to 

know her clients and understand 

their needs before embarking on any 

project. She leans towards timeless, 

classic furniture pieces, which can 

be accentuated with trendy, soft 

furnishings. 

The kitchen has a lovely, social seating 

area with large glass doors that open 

up onto the sea-facing patio 

There are five bedrooms. Three are 

downstairs and an elevator takes you up 

to the second floor where the other two 

bedrooms and living areas are situated. 

Because the home is being used 

predominantly for holiday rental 

purposes, the new owners wanted to 

depersonalise the interior and give it 

more of a classic, holiday look and feel. 

Mostly, this just meant changing the 

odd wallpaper, adding a few soft 

furnishings and accessories and lots 

of greenery. The kitchen, however, did 

get a full revamp. 

“We opened the kitchen up and 

created a wonderful, social seating 

area around the island. The large, 

open-shelved pantry is the perfect 

place to store all the crockery, cutlery 

and table décor, making it easy for 

holidaymakers to find what they need.” 

The kitchen, lounge and master 

bedroom all open up onto the most 

exquisite verandah with 180-degree 

sea views. Stylishly decorated in the 

classic ‘Ralph Lauren blue and white’, 

the furniture and décor in this space 

fits its location perfectly. 

Lee moved the shelving unit that 

was in the kitchen and turned it into 

a beautiful feature in the living area 

between the lounge and dining room. 

This is something, she says, she has 

become synonymous with. “A a strong 

part of my décor ethos and one of my 


strengths is using what clients already 

have in new and interesting ways.” 

The home has five bedrooms, all 

of which are en-suite and each is 

uniquely and stylishly decorated. 

Three are situated on the ground 

floor and the two others, including 

the impressive main bedroom, are 

upstairs. There is also an elevator, 

making this a wheelchair-friendly 

home. 

The open plan lounge and dining 

room lead onto a beautiful courtyard 

and swimming pool, where the 

owners have created a ‘mini beach’, 

complete with beach sand and tall 

palm trees. 

It’s not hard to imagine perching 

yourself on one of the built-in 

wooden benches with a cocktail in 

hand or curling up with a book in 

the swinging chair that hangs in the 

stunning, roofed terrace leading off 

the bar. This home definitely has all 

the right holiday feels and is available 

for holiday rental through Luxury 

Coastal Escapes. 

The home offers wonderful outside 

spaces both in the front (sea-facing) 

and the back of the house

Young musical 

prodigy 

A young Durban North musician is making waves in the music industry with a song he 

wrote and produced during lockdown aimed at helping people focus on the positive. 

As his young fingers work the 

fretboard and he strums his Ibanez 

electric guitar, Ethan Briggeman is a 

quiet, ‘no drama’ performer. But still 

waters run deep. 

The 12-year-old musician attracted a 

great deal of attention after writing 

and recording his inspiring song, 

titled ‘Change Your Mind’, during the 

Covid lockdown. The song focusses 

on optimism for the future and sees 

Ethan on lead vocals and rap, as he 

delivers some impressive electric 

guitar work. “Like most kids, I had a 

toy guitar when I was very young, 

but I think my parents must have 

seen something more in me than 

just a little kid jamming, because they 

bought me my first acoustic guitar 

when I was just five years old.” 

At the age of nine, a family member 

gave Ethan his first electric guitar 

and from there things just took off! 

“I am really passionate about playing 

guitar and grateful to be part of a 

family of musicians who are also my 

biggest supporters. My sister, Emily, 

plays the keyboard very well and 

my dad, Edwin, plays the trumpet 

as a hobby. He was in a cover band 

in the Netherlands called Zenith of 

Zeal for a few years until he moved 

to South Africa. He also played in a 

Glenn Miller-style big band before 

conducting that band and he still 

plays for fun now and then. My mom, 

Eloise, is our organiser and greatest 

support when my dad, sister and I 

sometimes perform as the Briggeman 

Band.” 

In 2018 Ethan started weekly lessons 

at Destiny Music Academy (DMA) in La 

The first song I mastered on guitar was 

Apache by The Shadows. It’s uploaded to my 

YouTube channel along with a number of 

other covers I have enjoyed trying my hand at. 

Lucia. That same year, he played his electric guitar at a solo jam and was part of a 

band in the show, ‘The Greatest Show’, where he played electric guitar and sang 

a duet. The Grade 7 Reddam House Umhlanga learner was also recently asked to 

sing an inspiring song for their junior executive induction ceremony and he sang 

Hall of Fame by The Script. 

“The first song I mastered on guitar was Apache by The Shadows. It’s uploaded to 

my YouTube channel (which was launched in July last year) along with a number 

of other covers I have enjoyed trying my hand at. I really enjoy music that’s catchy 

or funky to play like the music from the Beetles. I’m a huge Lenny Kravitz fan 

because he does a variety of songs and his technical ability with solos is amazing 

and inspiring, so naturally when it comes to the ultimate guitar I’d like to own… 

it’s a Gibson Les Paul… because Lenny has one!” 

Speaking of inspiration, during the first lockdown Ethan desperately wanted to 

inspire the world and encourage people to focus on a brighter future. He began 

to play around on the keyboard (yes he can do that too!) and his guitar and 

composed the tune to the song he titled Change Your Mind. 

“It took only a few hours to match the words with the music, but two months to 

fine-tune the song before it premiered on his YouTube channel in December last 

year. 

The video was choreographed and edited by Patrick Royal and features 

appearances by Ethan’s family and a few close friends. 

Apart from becoming a successful song writer, singer and guitar player, Ethan, 

who has more than just musical talents, would like to be an Olympic champion 

for track and field athletics and a successful businessman to show people that 

hard work does pay off. 

The cross country champ, who belongs to Aspire Athletics, has competed in the 

Tinman Triathlon Series Mini and is a two-time SA Judo gold medallist. A big feat 

for a little kid! 

Change Your Mind is available for download on various platforms and the promo 

video can be viewed on Ethan’s YouTube channel: Ethan Briggeman. He can be

What do teens want? 

great looking skin 


PROMOTION 

And they can, with RITES, a fuss-free, local brand that’s perfect for boys and girls 

Great skin ... in five easy steps 

Prevention’s better than cure 

Rather than trying to cure acne, teens should rather 

preempt it ... starting a skincare routine early to prevent 

acne and blemishes. RITES is a small, easy-to-use South 

African brand, which is cruelty-free and is brilliant for 

boys and girls. 

Your 10 minute RITES routine 

Being a teenager can be stressful, so the last thing you need 

to be worrying about is your skincare regime. To save you the 

hassle, RITES has put together the ultimate 10-minute routine 

to combat everything from pimples to oiliness. All you need 

is five minutes in the morning and five minutes again in the 

evening to marvel at your skin! Ready. Set. Go! 

Cleanse and Exfoliate: 1 minute 

Start your routine off by cleansing and exfoliating your 

skin. Gently massage the Foam Fighter foaming face 

wash over your skin. It is the ultimate daily face wash that 

fights to remove impurities while leaving your skin feeling 

fresh, renewed, and matte. You can also combine the 

Power Powder exfoliating powder to gently buff away the 

unhealthy cells for a noticeably smoother, clearer, and more 

refined complexion.

Cleanse carefully. At least twice a day. 

Wash off make-up before bed. Allow your skin 

to breathe at night without clogging your pores. 

Control oil. Even if your skin is oily, you still 

need to moisturise. Think hydration rather than 

excessive oil production. 

Exfoliate. You need to exfoliate once or twice 

a week with a gentle, oil-free exfoliator. 

Keep your hands clean. Every time you touch 

your face, you are spreading oil, dirt, and 

bacteria that can turn into a breakout! Always 

wash your hands before touching your face 

and regularly clean and disinfect surfaces that 

touch your face, like your phone! 

Treat: 3 minutes 

Next, you will tone the skin with our refreshing toning 

wipes. The Fresh Crusader wipes provide intensive 

cleaning for problem areas such as the pesky T-zone. 

Infused with witch hazel, cucumber and aloe vera, these 

wipes help to unclog the pores and provide hydration in 

one simple swipe. After toning, apply Disappearing Act 

to specific problem areas and allow time for the product 

to penetrate the skin. It has been designed to remove 

excess oil and bacteria, while using natural elements to 

reduce inflammation. 

Moisturise and Protect: 1 minute 

Whether you are off to school, or getting ready to hit the 

sheets, you will want to make sure your face is moisturised. 

In the morning, use RITES Control Freak SPF30 to 

moisturise and protect the skin. At night, use the Smart 

Hydrator to repair your skin while you sleep. Be sure to 

apply the moisturiser to the face and neck, starting on the 

cheeks and spreading outwards and upwards, and if you are 

fast, then you may just have a few seconds to spare! 

Get into the habit of following the above steps each day for 

a solid and effective skincare routine.

Little reads 

Looking for some great books to motivate reading? Here 

are a handful of fabulous kiddies reads (with giveaways) 

written by local authors that will open the doorway to 

turning your little one into a voracious reader. 

My Family of Superheroes 

“Every child, irrespective of gender or 

race, will find themselves in situations 

that test their self-confidence and 

courage,” says author Zinhle T. 

Matthews. “Wouldn’t it be amazing 

if they had a fool-proof, lifelong tool 

to use in these circumstances? A 

potent mantra which could lift them 

above self-doubt and fear into a 

position of power, well equipped 

to take on the world – and win!” Her 

beautifully illustrated book, My Family 

of Superheroes, focuses on how 

positive phrases can help children 

realise their inner strength and 

potential. It tells the story of Precious 

who, inspired by her mother, uses 

positive affirmation to overcome her 

insecurities and doubts. The book is 

available at Amazon, Ethnikids, Book 

Circle Capital and other selected 

bookstores and is set to be translated 

into various languages, and to be 

converted into an audio book.

Luna Learns About Viruses 

Learning about the coronavirus and 

coping with lockdown has been 

overwhelming for us all, especially 

children. With this in mind, Hillcrest 

mother of two, Shareez Bagaria, 

used her spare time to write about 

viruses, as she educated her curious 

children Luna (4) and Shay (11). Her 

handwritten notes have been turned 

into an exciting book titled, Luna 

Learns About Viruses. Aimed at the 

foundation phase age group, the 

book is written in a simple rhyming 

style, is easy to read and remember 

and is designed to be both a teacher’s 

aid and a parental guide. The book’s 

big, bold, beautiful illustrations are 

the artwork of Shareez’s niece, Gianna 

Naidoo. The book is also being 

printed in isiZulu. It can be bought 

online at www.madeindurban.co.za 

for R175 and delivery is free across 

South Africa.

Gone Little Cat 

Gone Little Cat is Blythedale author, 

Gustav Preller’s fifth book. But it’s 

his first for children. Aimed at 10 to 

15-year-olds, the book (which tells 

the story of a highly-pedigreed, 

pampered cat who gets lost in a 

forest and has to learn to live in the 

wild) has been very well received by 

both children and adults who’ve been 

the storytellers to little ones. All the 

animals in the story have names and 

personalities. They all talk and the 

dialogue is great! Their very existence 

is threatened by powerful predators 

... humans … and the animals 

embark on a fateful course of action. 

While the environmental theme of 

deforestation is contemporary and 

relevant, Gone Little Cat is also about 

growing up, understanding that one 

doesn’t have to be the same to be 

friends and, through courage and 

resilience, finding one’s self in a world 

that contains both good and bad. 

It’s beautifully illustrated by a Kenyan 

artist, David Wachania, the book is 

available at all Ballito book stores and 

most book stores nationwide for R195.

There was a time, not so long 

ago, when childhood offered 

the space and freedom for 

children to explore their world. 

To be curious, creative and bold. 

To just be. Today, our overscheduled 

and overstimulated 

children are using their 

imaginations less than ever and, 

for this reason, we have fallen 

in love with educational toy 

brand, Melissa & Doug. Since 

it’s founding, more than 30 

years ago, the people behind 

the Melissa & Doug brand have 

been committed to making 

products that inspire openended 

thinking, encourage kids 

to see new possibilities and 

offer countless ways to play. It’s 

all part of a bigger vision to take 

back childhood. From classic, 

wooden toys to crafts, pretend 

play and games, Melissa & 

Doug products provide a launch 

pad to ignite imagination and a 

sense of wonder in all children 

so they can discover themselves, 

their passions and their 

purpose. For more information 

visit @atoyforyou on Facebook.

Smashing & painting! 

Sometimes you just need to let go and have a little creative, expressive fun! This month 

the Get It girls were invited to try out two awesome North Coast experiences … and 

we can’t wait to go back! 



The Get It girls excitedly getting 

ready to smash some stuff up! 

Such a great way to 

let go of frustrations! 

Smash It 

What is it? Everyone’s had that moment … you know the one where all you 

want to do is just let loose and smash something!? Well now you can - in a safe, 

controlled and super fun environment! The Smash It smash room (and splash 

room!) is owned by two Ballito moms who came across the unique concept 

while on holiday in Clarens. They had so much fun that they decided to start up 

something similar Ballito! 

How it works: On arrival you decide if you’re either going to ‘smash it’ in 

the smash room or ‘splash it’ in the splash room! Or do both! The smash room 

is basically a safe, enclosed area where you can ‘go wild’ and smash up empty 

bottles, old, unfixable appliances, unwanted crockery and pretty much anything 

your heart desires! Safety comes first, of course, so before you enter the smash 

room, the team help you gear up from head to toe with gum boots and full 

protective wear. Then you just have to walk in, pick your weapon (a cricket or 

baseball bat maybe...?) and start smashing! The music gets turned up loud and 

for 10 minutes and you can literally let all your frustrations go! The UV paint 

splash room is a little more ‘timid’, but no less fun! After putting on your goggles 

The splash room is just as much fun, 

with awesome UV paint, loud music 

and space to just ‘let loose’! 

and protective poncho you enter the 

room which is covered from floor to 

ceiling in luminous paint. Each person 

is given a canvas, paints and brushes. 

Again, the music gets turned up and 

you can let your crazy, creative juices 

flow … even painting your friends if 

you like! 

Get It girls’ verdict: Yes, yes, 

yes we will be back! The smash room 

was a massive hit – and frustrations 

were definitely released! One or two 

of us actually preferred the splash 

room even more though – especially 

when we started flinging paint at one 

another! We had so many laughs and 

the entire evening was loads of fun 

and just great food for the soul!

Get It girls’ verdict: We had such 

a great time. We sipped lattes and 

laughed as we let our creativity flow. 

Choosing a ceramic to paint proved 

hard for one or two of us (we wanted 

to do them all!) and committing to a 

design and colours felt a bit scary for 

the less naturally ‘artistic’ members of 

the team. But, once we got into it, all 

nerves disappeared and we just let go 

and had fun! It was like therapy! We 

collected our fired pieces a few days 

later … and we were all delighted. 

We will most certainly be back to do 

more!

The Pottery 

What is it? If you haven’t yet visited 

The Pottery at the Lifestyle Centre 

Ballito, then it’s time you did. The Pottery 

is a beautiful, arty space that is all about 

unique items, creativity and good 

coffee! A pottery store with a difference, 

The Pottery is both a retail space and a 

spot where you can choose a ceramic, 

grab a brush and paint your own plate, 

bowl or ornament to take home. 

How it works: It’s hard not to feel 

inspired in this gorgeous, alfresco space. 

You can’t help but want to pick up a 

brush and just go for it! The process is 

easy: simply select an item from the 

shelves (they have a wonderful range 

of side and dinner plates, mugs, bowls, 

platters and little trinkets to choose 

from), take a seat, order a delicious 

beverage from the menu and get 

painting! The Pottery staff (who are all 

incredibly helpful) will bring you a box 

of paints, brushes and stencils and then 

you just have to decide on your design 

and get creative! After your work of art 

has been completed, you hand it over 

to be fired in the kilns (this takes a few 

days) and then return to collect your 

masterpiece! 

We loved choosing and 

painting our ceramics together

Discover ... a gem in the city 

A Cape escape is always a treat. And even more so when you choose a city-chic hotel. 

We’ve just spent a week in Cape Town 

… and struggle to understand why 

anyone would want to travel abroad 

when there’s such an incredible 

destination right here in our own 

country. It’s a spot that – no matter 

how many times you visit – simply 

never gets stale. 

The basics stay the same … ‘the 

mountain’ (only ever said with that 

iconic Capetonian drawl), the buzz 

along the Camps Bay restaurant 

strip, the icy sea only fools and 

born-locals enjoy (then again, maybe 

we should take a lesson from them 

… a 15-minute cold-water swim 

apparently has massive health 

benefits – from increasing your 

metabolism, helping with circulation, 

relieving stress, enhancing your 

mood, boosting your immune system 

and helping you to sleep better). 

But once you’ve done the 15 minutes 

of hell in the cold water, the cable car, 

tried tandem paragliding off Signal 

Hill and Lion’s Head, and kayaked 

along the coastline looking for 

dolphins, there’s always something 

new to discover and explore. And it’s 

one of the only major cities – if not 

the only city – in SA where staying 

in the centre of town is not only safe 

but also massively desirable. This is 

why we booked into, and loved, The 

Onyx Hotel. 

This cosmopolitan blend of hotel 

and residential accommodation sits 

proudly on Heerengracht Street, Cape 

Town’s oldest thoroughfare, and with 

its bold, architectural features and 

resemblance to the rare, striking black 

sapphire, it’s a real gem … offering 

a chic city on par with apartment 

offerings around the globe but infused 

with authentic South African vibrancy 

and authenticity. 

What’s there to love? What’s not to? 

The rooms are large, spacious and 

edgy … with everything you need 

to make your stay as enjoyable as 

possible. The location is spot on … 

it’s on Cape Town’s Foreshore, so 

right in the hub of the city’s dynamic 

urban lifestyle. There are bright lights 

and city vibes, great restaurants on 

every corner and bustling bars. Not 

that you have to leave the hotel to 

find a place to play. The hotel’s YU 

Restaurant and Bar on the 4th floor 

mixes up Insta-ready cocktails – the 

Africa Rising City of Gold cocktail with 

its candyfloss and sexy molten gold 

surface is particularly photogenic. 

Sexy city living … a blend of hotel 

and apartments to suit all lifestyles. 


You’re in Cape Town … a mountain 

view is non-negotiable! 

Don’t venture any further for dinner either 

… there’s an exotic menu of Asian-style 

tapas served with a side of a fabulous 

cityscape view. 

The hedonistic traveller looking for some 

pampering can book an hour or so in the 

Sanctuary Spa at The Onyx. Ask, when 

you’re there, which packages are on 

special … they’re always a treat (and a 

well-priced one). Book a massage, order 

a bottle of bubbly … and, after your 

treatment, relax at the indoor-outdoor 

heated pool. Bliss. 

For out-of-towners wanting to explore 

more of the wine and brandy options 

in the winelands, The Onyx’s concierge 

team has teamed up with Ilios Tours 

and can create individualised day-trip 

itineraries. Think a fascinating visit to Van 

Ryn’s Distillery in Stellenbosch, KWV’s 

House of Fire in Paarl and Oude Molen 

Distillery in the Elgin Valley, or a wine 

tasting and lunch at the many heritage 

wine estates that the Cape has to offer, 

including Simonsig. 

If a Cape break appeals, The Onyx always 

has winter packages and promotions 

worth exploring … and the hotel works 

equally well for business and leisure 

travellers, for singles, couples and families. 

Details: Visit newmarkhotels.com, email 

reservations@newmarkhotels.com or 

call 021-427-5900. 

The Onyx honestly has 

everything you need 

for the perfect stay … 

business or leisure.

A pair of stylish 

Rvlri watches 

Rvlri. Derived from the French word ‘reveler’,

speaks of memories and moments. 

Important ones. The exact time you said 

I do. And had your wedding dance. Or 

first met your firstborn. Another reason to 

celebrate … Rvlri offers accessible luxury 

with their timepieces, which they boast 

embody fine craftsmanship, attention to 

detail and superb quality, built on a legacy 

of watchmaking expertise. For more details on
