It’s a thrill a minute this month ... adrenalin-pumping holiday reads!
You want adrenalin. You’ve got it in spades with these three. Michael Connelly’s The Waiting sees an LAPD detective get
a DNA hit on a 20-year-old cold case. The recently arrested man is genetically related to a serial rapist. But the relative is
the last person you want to accuse unless the evidence is watertight. Orion • In Framed, John Grisham teams up with
Jim McCloskey (founder of the first US organisation dedicated to exonerating innocent people) to tell ten true stories
of extraordinary cases that shine a light on miscarriages of justice. Hodder&Stoughton • In The House of Cross by James
Patterson, Alex Cross is investigating a serial killer. It’s dangerous. But the heat’s turned up to the max when his wife Bree and

Loved The Last One At The Wedding
by Jason Rekulak. Wicked twist! A father

him to her wedding. She’s marrying

country, and Frank finds himself a little
overwhelmed. And then concerned ...
since not everything about this wedding,
or the family, appears to be as it should
be. Sphere • A retired man - loving his

wealthy Emma meets kind, handsome widower Matthew, her friends are at

not. What she does think, however is about being second best. It’s all jealousy

We want ...
A gift with a cause. This new Ardmore Armoured Warriors limited-edition silk
scarf collection supports Care for Wild. Inspired by the plight of the rhino - statistics
indicate that one rhino is killed every day! - the magnificent new silk scarf design
was conceived in tribute to this endangered species, and a percentage of each scarf
sale will go to Care for Wild rhino sanctuary, the largest orphaned Rhino Sanctuary
in the world, which specialises in the rescue, rehabilitation, rewilding, and protection
of orphaned and injured rhinos. Armoured Warriors features two mirrored rhinos
with ornately patterned horns. Surrounded by graphic floral and circular motifs, the
design honours the artistry and intricacy of traditional Zulu beadwork and basketry.
A dynamic celebration of pattern and colour, it embodies the vibrancy of Africa with
a palette inspired by the veld – golden grass, ochre earth, orange sunset and blue
sky – and grounded by graphic pattern. With only 100 made in each colourway, these
scarves are collectible artworks in themselves. Also available as pocket squares and
necktie sizing, the collection allows you to wear your heart on your sleeve, as it were,
in support of the courageous conservationists fighting for rhino protection.

Andisa Ntsila:
Inspiring change on and off the field
Andisa Ntsila, one of the winners of the 2024 Get It
Cover Search, made possible by Kryolan Free State, is a
professional rugby player who has played for
teams such as the SWD Eagles, Sharks,
Southern Kings, Toyota Free State
Cheetahs and the
Springbok A side.

“While rugby has been my passion for as long as I can remember, being a
father is the role that truly grounds me,” says Andisa.
He says when he is not on the field he can be found spending time with
family, especially his children, as this is a source of immense joy for him.
Beyond the field, he is committed to giving back to the community through
the Andi Ntsila Foundation, which supports crèches and orphanages
with essential resources. Andisa says his foundation focuses on youth
development and career choices. The first project was helping crèches and
orphanages with necessary supplies, ensuring that children have a better
chance at a future. “Witnessing the struggles of families and wanting to make
a meaningful difference motivated me to take this step. The Andi Ntsila
Foundation was born out of my desire to uplift children in need and shape
the society for the better, inspired by my own experiences growing up and
the support I received.”
For him giving back is essential because it builds stronger,
more connected communities. “It has taught me that
success is not just about personal achievements but
about how you use those achievements to make a
positive impact.” This belief has guided Andisa to be
more empathetic and proactive in helping
others and because of this his
message to younger people
is to never stop believing
in themselves and
that one’s
background doesn’t define their
future – your dedication, kindness, and
perseverance do.
On the question of how Bloemfontein
helped shape who he is today, he
answered: “Bloemfontein has been
integral in shaping my character,
teaching me the value of resilience,
integrity, and teamwork despite any
situation I am faced with.” Some of
his favourite spots around the city
include rugby fields where he spends
countless hours training, as well as local
cafés where he could relax with friends
and family.
Andisa says winning the Get It Cover
Search 2024 was a moment of pride
and joy. It validated the hard work
and dedication that he has put into
both sport and his community efforts.
“Personally, it’s an acknowledgment
of my growth beyond rugby, and
professionally, it’s a platform to bring
more attention to the causes I’m
passionate about.”
As Andisa’s career continues to unfold
he hopes to still be playing rugby at
an elite level while continuing to grow
his foundation’s reach and impact. “I
want to develop as a father and leader,
finding new ways to inspire those
around me. A big dream of mine is to
establish a centre that combines
sports training with academic
support for youth.”

Lerato Seliane
A passion for fitness and giving back
to Bloemfontein’s youth
Lerato Seliane, one of the winners of the 2024 Get It Cover Search, made possible by Kryolan Free
State, is not just a fitness instructor – she’s a dedicated advocate for youth empowerment and
community upliftment. With a heart for helping the next generation, Lerato has been actively
involved in assisting underprivileged schools in Bloemfontein by introducing children to the joys
of sport and fitness.
Text: Justine Fortuin Photograph: Gypseenia Lion
Winning the 2024
Get It Cover Search
was extremely
unexpected for
Lerato Seliane, but it’s
just one of many accomplishments for
this young lady. “I was shocked. I’m still
shocked!” Lerato expresses.
Born and raised in Bloemfontein, Lerato
was brought up by her mother and
has always been proud of her roots in
the city that has shaped her. Now, she’s
using her platform and expertise to
give back, particularly to the youth of
Bloemfontein.
Lerato’s journey into the fitness world
was more of a happy accident.
“I was actually working at Virgin Active
when I discovered my passion for
fitness,” she shares. “This career found
me, and I believe that’s because it’s
always evolving. I don’t like being
bored, and fitness is constantly
changing.
I love being thrown into the deep end.”
One of the things that keeps Lerato
connected to her community is the
sense of unity that Bloemfontein offers.
“I love that everything is central,” she
says. “The day and night markets, the
vibes around Lemo Fest and Cufa –
such an experience! And these cute
coffee shops – absolutely love them!”
Beyond her work as a fitness instructor,
Lerato is committed to making a
tangible difference in her community.
Her initiative to assist underprivileged
schools with sports started when she
was approached by someone with an
idea that resonated with her deeply.
“I’ve always wanted to help the
community, but I didn’t know where to
start. When I was given the opportunity,
I knew this was my chance,” she
explains.
Even though she struggled with
depression at the time, seeing the
positive impact on the kids made it all
worthwhile.
“For me, it was seeing those kids smile
and laugh.
It warmed my heart. The community
loved our efforts – just showing up and
doing what was expected of us.”
Lerato believes in the power of sport
to help kids stay active and engaged.
“Sport keeps them busy. I believe
that being active should start in the
foundation phase of a child’s life. It’s
important to stay active, and it helps
you live longer,” she says.
When she’s not working or helping
local children, Lerato enjoys the simple
pleasures of life. “I love sleeping,” she
says with a laugh. “I also enjoy reading,
hiking, and spending time with my
friends or partner.”
Looking to the future, Lerato has big
dreams. “I would love to see talented
kids being exposed to professional
coaching, whether it’s through a school
placement or joining a specific sports
club,” she shares.
“God willing, I would love to have my
own sports-specific clinic, and I’m also
working on expanding my foundation.”
Her message to those who look up to
her is simple but powerful: “Do small
things with great love,” she says. “That’s
the foundation, and the rest will follow.
Be solution-oriented!”
For Lerato, the journey is just beginning.
With a heart for her community and a
passion for empowering youth, she is
not only shaping her own future but
also helping to shape the future of
Bloemfontein’s next generation.

Unlock your makeup skills
with Kryolan Free State workshops
When we started with Kryolan Free State, the demand for the brand – especially
its foundations – was phenomenal. More so, the demand for interactive how-to
makeup workshops in a format that was both fun and informative.
Kryolan has a wide variety of foundations and other
makeup products. The brand was initially developed
for professional makeup artists and then adapted to
the retail market over the years. The team couldn’t
wait to interact with you – their retail market – and
teach you how the pros do it.
During these workshops it quickly became
evident that clients had the same daunting
questions: How do I know which to use for
my specific skin and needs?
As a qualified somatologist, the business
owner Jaclyn Vosloo jotted down her
knowledge in a manual, taking careful
consideration to simplify the makeup
application process in a way that anyone can
understand and apply. Each client booking a
workshop gets one of these how-to manuals
empowering you to take home these skills and
apply them, developing your unique make-up
style as you grow in skill.
So, what can you expect from booking an
interactive makeup workshop with Kryolan Free State?
PROMOTION
According to Jaclyn, a Kryolan makeup workshop works like this:
Great skin is the foundation of any makeup look. Makeup doesn’t
flake badly, un-prepped skin flakes. Therefore the first step is to
analyse your skin and select a primer and foundation suited to
your skin type. What looks good on your friend won’t necessarily
work on you. It is a bespoke process that requires the correct
layering of products to create a flawless finish that lasts all day.
This step is then completed with the correct setting powder that
compliments these products for later.
The cherry on top? Lipstick. Boy, do we have some spoils for
you here. Lip stains that last 6 hours, nourishing lip oils, velvety
lipsticks and beautifully coordinated lip liners. Our pro team
will help analyse your colour profile, style and personality
to assist you in choosing the correct lip product and go-to
shades. In the words of Coco Chanel: “If you’re sad, add lipstick
and attack.”
Next up, we focus on highlighting and contouring, the makeup
trends change in season and as a pro team, we are conscious
of this. We adapt the workshop accordingly. The current trend
is glowy skin and enhancing natural features. A natural glam. In
this step, we also demonstrate blushers and bronzers carefully
paying attention to the colours suited to your skin tone.
Personalities differ - not everyone wants rosey cheeks and not
everyone wants heavy contour. We are mindful of this and help
you adapt this step to your style and personality.
Lastly, we set and seal it all in with your selected powder
and a durable setting spray. With an added SPF of course.
By the time you are done with your workshop you will have
identified colours that work for you and techniques that leave
you feeling confident to do your own makeup looks.
These workshops are fun and interactive. This is evident in
the next step: colour selection and application. Our expert
team takes their time in helping you with a list of colours and
techniques that complement your eye colour and shape. Here
we also play with liners and lashes – every girl’s favourite.
“We look forward to welcoming you to your very own
bespoke experience. Let us help you find and develop your
make-up style with Kryolan Professional Make Up,” said Jaclyn.
This festive season, Kryolan Free State is gifting Get It readers
with an exclusive 10% off on your workshop booking. Simply
bring your mag with you and show the makeup artist this
article to quality for the discount.
Discount is valid until 31 January 2025. Bookings can be

Caylin Majiedt:
A champion both in the
classroom and the ring
Caylin Majiedt is an aspiring kickboxer who represented her country at the World
Kickboxing Championships, she is also a full-time matric learner who has managed to
juggle her responsibilities to each discipline perfectly.
Text: Warren Hawkins Photos: Gino Harmse AND SUPPLIED
At first glance, it’s hard to imagine a school student
balancing the demands of academics with the
intense training schedule of an international
kickboxer. But for Caylin Majiedt, a rising star
in the world of kickboxing, these two worlds are not
only compatible – they’re the
driving forces behind
her remarkable
achievements.
Caylin’s
kickboxing
journey is
one that
blends passion, perseverance and a little
bit of serendipity. Initially, she wanted
to pursue boxing, but a conversation
with her father’s friend steered her
towards kickboxing instead. With
the full support of her father,
Donovan, Caylin joined Lengau
Martial Arts Academy under
the guidance of Sensei
Brendan Davis. What
started as a new
challenge quickly
turned into
a defining passion. “I initially wanted to
do only boxing, but my dad and Uncle
Pieter encouraged me to try kickboxing.
My father supported me, and the rest is
history.”
One of Caylin’s defining moments came
when she represented the Free State
at the national championships and
claimed the SA under 70kg full contact
title. “It was both unbelievable and
unreal,” she says. “It felt like a dream, but
it also made me realise that nothing is
impossible if you believe in yourself and
give your best.” This victory set the stage
for her most significant achievement
to date – the World Junior Kickboxing
Championships.
Representing South Africa at the World
Championships was a milestone that
Caylin will never forget. “It was an
honour representing my country,” she
recalls. “Wearing the national colours
on the international stage was an
unforgettable experience. Knowing that
I wasn’t just competing for myself, but
for the whole nation, was humbling.”
In the end, her hard work paid off when
she won a bronze medal, ranking third
in the world in her weight division. It
was a proud moment for Caylin, not
just for the medal but for the realisation
that her dedication had brought her
Caylin and her dad, Donovan Majiedt.
to the pinnacle of her sport. “The most
challenging part of the competition is
the pressure to perform,” she admits.
“There’s a high expectation from
supporters, especially my local club
and coach. It’s intense, but it’s also what
pushes me to keep going.”
Kickboxing is as much a mental
challenge as it is a physical one, and
Caylin understands this better than
most. Training five times a week, for
at least 2 hours per session, she’s
constantly pushing her body to its limits
while also maintaining a sharp mental
focus.
It felt like a dream,
but it also made me
realise that nothing
is impossible if you
believe in yourself and
give your best.
Support plays a crucial role in Caylin’s
success. Her father, who shares her
passion for combat sports, has been
her constant companion and strongest
supporter. “He’s been there for every
training session, every tournament, and
every fight,” she says. “He’s always in my
corner, literally and figuratively. I don’t
think I’d be where I am without his help
and encouragement.”
While Caylin’s success in the ring is
remarkable, it’s her ability to balance her
kickboxing career with her schoolwork
that truly sets her apart. “Balancing
school and kickboxing is challenging,
but I’ve learned to manage my time
effectively,” she says. “Kickboxing has
taught me discipline, and I make sure
I finish all my school assignments and
study before I go to training.”
The sacrifices extend to times when
big competitions coincide with
school exams. When the Junior World
Championships overlapped with her
Matric Prelim exams, Caylin’s school
made special arrangements, allowing
her to focus fully on the competition.
“I’m grateful for the support from my
school,” she says. “They allowed me to
write the exams after I returned, which
ADVERTORIAL
gave me the chance to perform at my
best in the competition.”
Despite her success, Caylin remains
focused on her education and future
career. Next year, she plans to study
either Occupational Therapy or
Veterinary Science, fields that are both
time-consuming and challenging.
However, she’s not ready to leave
kickboxing behind. “A professional
career in kickboxing may not be
possible right now due to my studies,
but I’ll continue to compete at the level
I am now,” she says. “I’ve learned how to
balance both, and I’ll keep doing that
for as long as I can.”
While Caylin is focused on her academic
goals, she’s also looking to the future of
her kickboxing career. “One day, I want
to become a professional kickboxing
champion,” she says. “I’d also like to try
MMA, although my dad is not too keen
on the idea. He thinks it’s too risky,
especially for my face! But I’d love to
give it a try,” she laughed.
Even when her competitive days
come to an end, Caylin hopes to stay
involved in kickboxing, whether as a
coach or mentor to upcoming fighters.
“Kickboxing has given me so much,”
she reflects. “I want to give back to the
sport, whether it’s through coaching
or mentorship. I want to help the next
generation achieve what I’ve been able
to achieve.”
For young athletes hoping to follow
in Caylin’s footsteps, she has some
practical advice. “Time management
is key,” she says. “You need to prioritise
what’s important for your future. Find
a routine that allows you to balance
school and training without letting
one take over the other. It’s all about
creating a fixed schedule and sticking
to it.”
Caylin Majiedt’s journey is a testament
to what can be achieved with
dedication, hard work, and a clear sense
of purpose. From the intense training
sessions to the pressure-filled moments
on the world stage, she has proven that
success isn’t just about talent – it’s about
resilience, discipline, and the willingness
to keep pushing forward, no matter the
challenge. Whether in the classroom or
the ring, Caylin is a true champion, and
her story is only just beginning.
Right now, she is preparing for the
African Kickboxing Championships
taking place in Johannesburg from 9 to
12 December.
Gifts of
the garden
Festive looking Solar Flare, leafy veggies packed
with protein and fruiting capsicums
Text: ALICE COETZEE
We’re planting …
Coleus Volcanica Solar Flare
because it’s the perfect plant for the
festive season, with its heart-shaped red
and burgundy leaves, edged with gold. The
underside of the leaves is yellow green, making it a
colourful feature plant for containers and the garden.
It is part of the sun coleus range that does best with
morning sun but also tolerates shade. The tall plants
(90cm high and 70cm wide) bring a touch of drama
into the garden. Plant in fertile soil that retains moisture
but doesn’t get soggy. Plants in containers should be
watered daily or every second day in Summer. Feed
monthly with a liquid fertiliser. It will perform as
a perennial in frost free gardens but is frost
tender and should be treated as an
annual in areas that receive frost.

Veggie of the month
Leafy veggies generally don’t like the heat,
but one that can handle it is our indigenous
spinach, better known as Marog (Amaranthus
tricolour) or Imbuya. It is an excellent hot,
dry weather substitute for spinach. Marog
has arrow-shaped leaves that are thicker than
spinach leaves and can be picked over a long
period. The young leaves have a mild flavour
and can be eaten raw or cooked like spinach.
They are an excellent source of plant protein
as well as vitamins C and A. Marog grows best
in full sun in well composted soil. The seeds
are very small, and it is easier to sow them
evenly by mixing them with sand or dry soil.
The seeds are usually planted in rows. Seed
germinates within 7 to 14 days and the final
spacing should be 25cm apart. Plants need
regular watering and grow easily. For the best
flavour, harvest the tender tops when they
are about 25cm tall, by cutting them off with
scissors and then leaving the plant to re-grow.
Marog can be intercropped with other veggies.
Details: kirchhoffs.co.za
Indoor plant of the month ... this dwarf
Capsicum Acapulco is irresistible with its
glossy multi-coloured fruit. Pop it into a pot
as a centrepiece for the Christmas feast table.
It is also a super gift. It bears loads of fruit,
which doesn’t have the heat of a chilli pepper,
being slightly sweet, so it is safe to be around
children. To keep on fruiting capsicums, need
at least six hours of sun a day. A good idea
is to enjoy it indoors for a few days and then
move it onto a sunny patio or into the garden.
Plant in rich, well composted soil that drains
well. Don’t let the soil dry out completely but
also avoid overwatering and soggy soil.

Garden tasks
Going away? Before leaving check the irrigation system
for blocked nozzles and make sure that automatic systems
are set correctly. Move plants in pots and hanging baskets
out of the direct sun. • Fertilise flowering plants but if you
are going away, delay until your return. • There is still time
to sow marigolds, alyssum, California poppies, portulaca
and nasturtiums. • Water early in the morning or
late afternoon. • Pests are out in force. Use organic insect
sprays when pests are noticed.

The final stretch
It’s been quite a show. And the countdown has begun for the finale of the
eleventh season of Tropika Island of Treasure: Zanzibar. We chat to contestants
to find out what they suggest you take to an island holiday.
Set in the dreamy paradise of Zanzibar,
this season has served up everything we
love … marvellous scenery, all kinds of
rather extreme challenges … and, what’s
any good reality show without a splash
of star power?
Seven everyday South Africans jumped
into this adventure headfirst, teaming
up with celebs who brought their
A-game to the island. Think Tiktoker
extraordinaire Chad Jones, sports
presenter Nqobile Khwezi, former Miss
SA Ndavi Nokeri, heartthrob model Karl
Kugelmann, actor Hungani Ndlovu, TV
sweetheart Roxy Burger, and the everysmooth
Bobby van Jaarsveld.
In the past 10 weeks, the teams have
faced it all. All kinds of tricky mental
and physical challenges, which often
triggered emotional outbursts which
(to be honest) has kept us glued to
the screen.
And, dishing up the tea is none other
than South Africa’s media darling, Zanele
Potelwa. With each passing episode,
the stakes have climbed higher, and
the challenges have gotten tougher. In
fact, episode 10 hit us with a plot twist
as the consumer contestants battled
each other AND the celebs. (Just when
we thought things couldn’t get any
more intense.)
What’s in it for the winning duo? Only
the biggest prize in TIOT history … a
shared R1 million and a brand-new
Suzuki Jimny for both members. So,
needless to say, we’re on the edge of
our seats!
Don’t miss the action-packed final
episodes, airing every Saturday at 7.30pm
on SABC 3, with repeats on SABC 1 at 9pm
and streaming on SABC+. The season
finale officially airing December 14.
So, clear your Saturday night and tune in
to the final episodes of Tropika Island of
Treasure. The countdown is on … who’s
going to claim that treasure? Tune in
and find out!
The contestants’ top travel essentials
We got the inside scoop from the contestants themselves on their must-have
travel essentials. So, whether you’re planning your own island escape or just
