My highlight for 20<strong>21</strong> ... getting to travel<br />
overseas again!<br />
Our Christmas traditions … We all sleep in the<br />
same bed as a family the night before Christmas.<br />
It’s so much fun!<br />
What I’d like to find under the Christmas tree<br />
… To be honest, I have no expectation of gifts this<br />
year. I will be more than grateful to just have all<br />
my family and friends together, making memories.<br />
My hope for 2022 … that Covid will be under<br />
control and that the world will return to normal -<br />
or maybe even a bit better!<br />
Plans for New Year’s Eve … I’ll be in Durban with<br />
my kids and I cannot wait!<br />
Lesego Mpyana<br />
Mother of two and founder: Move Africa and the<br />
Red Movement<br />
My highlight for 20<strong>21</strong> ... Undoubtedly the success of The Red<br />
Movement, a women’s month campaign aimed at eradicating<br />
period poverty in South Africa (also the reason we were featured<br />
on the cover of Get It!). I dreamt about this for a long time and<br />
seeing it all unfold was just incredible!<br />
Our Christmas traditions … We watch ‘The Little Rascals’ first<br />
thing in the morning. The movie has absolutely nothing to do with<br />
Christmas, it’s a little family tradition that my husband and I started<br />
and we hope that our kids (aged 3 and 2) grow to love it.<br />
What I’d like to find under the Christmas tree … Ooh, I’m hoping<br />
to find a designer bag. I love a good handbag!<br />
My hope for 2022 … Humanity has gone through so much in the<br />
last two years. I hope that we encounter restoration. That hope in<br />
our country is restored, families are restored and people’s finances<br />
restored!<br />
Plans for New Year’s Eve … We’ll be enjoying spectacular views<br />
from The Pencil Club in <strong>Umhl</strong>anga, our favourite place in Ethekwini!<br />

Hanna Grobler<br />
Mother, actress, artist and founder of the Hanna<br />
Charity and wife of singer Bok van Blerk<br />
My highlight for 20<strong>21</strong> ... My baby, Papillon Anna Pepler, was born in<br />
September. It was a very traumatic birth and I almost lost my life, but the<br />
experience just made the gift of having another child so much bigger.<br />
Our Christmas traditions … Not really. We just eat a lot (like Afrikaans<br />
people do on Christmas). We basically cook and eat the whole day! My dad<br />
is a minister so he reads the Bible and prays for us before we can open our<br />
gifts on Christmas Eve. There are always lots of presents and decorations.<br />
What I’d like to find under the Christmas tree … An Airfryer and a new<br />
body (jokes!).<br />
My hope for 2022 … I hope that artists will be able to perform in front of<br />
big, live audiences again. My husband hasn’t been able to really work for<br />
two years and shows have only started to pick up recently. My hope for<br />
2022 is that all the waves are done now!<br />
Plans for New Year’s Eve … I’ll be with my kids. Bok will be doing a show<br />
in Pretoria and I will be in bed at by 9pm with my three small kiddies!<br />
