foreword

People of Joburg!

Lloyd Loots

What are you crushing on at the moment?

My new pair of bright blue Ted Baker suede derby brogues.

What exactly does an audit clerk do every day?

It ranges every day, but in a nutshell, from doing data capturing, being on the phone with SARS, compiling audit files and preparing financial statements.

What did you have for lunch today?

Smoked Salmon, Cucumber & Cream Cheese sandwich. Oh, and there was wine. (There is always wine! Or Bubbly!)

What makes Joburg shine for you?

The diversity and people. Being able to be yourself and still feel like you fit in and the endless opportunities.

Who has inspired you to create your own blog?

Jerri Mokgofe (According to Jerri) & Kyle Anderson (Style & Accessories Editor for Marie Claire – @ KyleEditor)

Your favourite Joburg based bloggers are?

This is so difficult to decide! But currently being one of my biggest inspirations I will definitely say Alan Foley & Krishen Samuels.

PLATINUM JUKEBOX 10 Decades of Song & Dance

Platinum Jukebox is a journey of music, song and dance starting with the gramophone in the 1920s and ending with the iPod in the 21st Century. We start the journey in the 1920s, when music from Louis Armstrong and Fred Astaire were the platinum hit songs of the week. In the 1930s and 1940s, both the LP 331⁄3 rpm record and the 45 rpm single records were invented in an era of peace, depression and then war.

In the 1960s and 1970s we saw the mass production of stereo albums, and turntables became affordable. Soon the world was doing The Twist, The Loco-Motion and The Funky Chicken to songs like Let’s Twist Again, Shout, These Boots were Made for Walkin’, I’m a Believer and Proud Mary. In the 1980s - cassette tapes and compact discs were the music format, along with dancing styles such as The Moonwalk, Breakdancing, Latin American Dancing to massive selling icons such as Michael Jackson and bands such as Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Miami Sound Machine. In the 1990s we encountered The Macerena and Line Dancing to everything from Cotton Eyed Joe, Achy Breaky Heart to Shania Twain’s – Man! I Feel Like a Woman! - while the compact disc remained the flavour of the day. In the 21st century the iPod has become the flavour of the day with downloading taking the place of compact discs.

Hello Joburg s mend recom

THE SUIT MAKETH THE MAPS

T

he first time I laid eyes on Masego Maps Maponyane was on a South African fashion week ramp in 2012. It’s hard to forget the solid stride of a man poised for great things in a

lawn green suit with bark brown brogues.

It’s three years later and Maps is a household name in the fashion and entertainment industry. And boy can he still rock a suit! So what do you do with a fashion icon like Maps (besides splash him all over the big screen – more about that later) – you put him in a Tailor Me suit on the cover of Hello Joburg Magazine and do a shoot right in the heart of Johannesburg at the all new Four Seasons Hotel, The Westcliff Johannesburg. Let’s face it, Maps in a suit at the Westcliff with that iconic and magnificent view of Johannesburg is pretty much any girl’s dream – well mine at least.

While this is their first time working with Maps, it certainly will not be the last.

“Maps is a style icon in his own right and someone who really reflects our brand - Cool and confident with a personable character with which anyone can relate and engage.”

A real gentleman indeed, Maps understands the importance of a good suit too.

“A suit does wonders for your self-esteem and image. A good suit gives all the right impressions, it means that you take what you do seriously, you’re more than likely discerning and that you give 110% to everything that you do.” But Maps is more than just a good looking suit. Sorry ladies; Maps aint spilling the beans on his love life…

No stranger to the small screen, you can catch Maps in Ses Top’la on SABC1 and High Rollers on SABC3. He is also the host of the ‘I Am South African’ show on ANN7 which profiles inspiring and extraordinary South Africans. He’s So about the suits…meet Tailor Me - a bespoke suit business targeted at exploding onto the big screen too in local Romcom ‘Tell Me Sweet Something’ professionals, gents who want to impress at functions and of course the directed by award-winning filmmaker Akin Omotoso (“Man on Ground”), discerning guy looking for a suit that is a little more special than just “off the rack”. South African men are not all average sizes and vary in shape and form which is out in September as well as a part in’ Ayanda’ which will be released in October.

– Tailor Me was designed for these guys. Whether you’re hitting the gym, super slim or a little plus size, Tailor Me is the suit brand for you.

So what’s next for Maps?

We expect big things. “I’m all about progression and getting the best out of myself and my potential; if my next move doesn’t potentially get me a step closer to being the Grand Master of my own game of chess then there’s no point in making it” For George Diab, Brad Marriott, Rick Da Matta and Dax Menday are the Tailor a talented guy like Maps Me team who created the company in 2013 an have been suiting up gents ever since. Besides the superb quality suits what really sets Tailor Me apart is their with a heart of gold and good old fashioned ethics true devotion to the bespoke concept. Dax explained. “Part of the Tailor Me service is that we come to you - whether it’s at your office or home we believe (which he attributes to his parents) this is just the this one-on-one experience enables us to produce something unique for our beginning of much bigger customers.” things to come.

Building something from scratch is bound to teach you a thing or two about And the same goes for the being an entrepreneur. Like anything, there are challenging nuances to their Tailor Me team who are business. Dax elaborates “The challenges we have faced are mainly time constraints. There are small hurdles such as production, marketing issues and putting some roots down too. They have opened growing pains. Starting a business really requires hard work and dedication. a showroom and fitting “ But with the lows come the highs too, he adds “- everything you do, all the premises at 51, 6th street, effort you make, any stress and strain, is all for something you have a passion Parkhurst, so pencil in a for, have built from the ground up and that affects you directly. This makes entrepreneurship hugely rewarding” time to visit. H The birth of Tailor Me could be translated into a fun TV series. Four friends who met at university navigate the end of student life together as they enter the corporate world. They gather a whole lot of different corporate and business experience and then while planning for a wedding, a fashion crisis spurs a genius idea. A group of different sized groomsmen made it impossible to find standard shop bought suits. So the guys tailored their first suit out of necessity. While these first suits may have lacked the quality, finesse and workmanship that Tailor Me has come to be known for, the seed had been planted.

ack in the day the greatest inventions usually happened haphazardly. Take Lindt for example, which made its’ first barrel of smooth and creamy chocolate when an employee forgot to turn off the antique machine for an entire weekend in 1845. The Philly Cheesesteak Company’s story isn’t much different… It all began in the 1930’s as an Italian-American named Pat Olivieri ran out of frankfurters at his hotdog stand in South Philadelphia. Instead of closing up shop, the determined immigrant chopped up German sausage with thinly sliced pieces of beef and melted cheese. Pat then lathered this appetizing concoction on top of an Italian bread roll and his entire business model changed!

Fast-forward to 2012 where brothers, Bruno and Ivan Persic learned of Pat’s story and instantly found themselves inspired. Craving the taste sensation and amalgamation of cheese and beef,

Hello Joburg’s

In 2013, Philly Cheesesteak Co. opened its’ first store in Fairlands, Johannesburg and became an instant hit! Their next few stores soon followed in Bryanston, The Newtown Junction and most recently inside 27Boxes in Melville. Because people love 100% ground beef and elite cheeses! Their funky fresh interior also makes eating-in (more than) pleasurable.

his summer season you’re likely to be on the lookout for a rather adorable spot. The last thing us Joburgers want is a dull atmosphere and a gloomy ambience. Instead we want something lively, vivacious, quaint, intimate and oh so cool. So we have found just the place for you and it is situated in the heart of Sandton’s shopping district.

Tucked away in the Legacy Corner Mall with an inviting atmosphere and a picturesque setting lies The Nook. Cute, charming and delightful, this deli/coffee shop is just what Sandton CBD needs. The Nook offers simple yet tasty food on an unpretentious menu. There is also an African flair to the menu and the background picture of three African ladies smoking cigars is just another persuasive addition.

Did we fail to mention how affordable the menu is? We opted for the cooked deli selection with chicken, green salad and crispy potatoes oh and the most moreish slaw on the side. It felt like we were indulging in a home cooked meal, warm and familiar, the food is delicious. This is modest cuisine done extremely well.

So Joburgers wrap your heads around the sunshine season and head on down to The Nook where you can expect inspired flair and a comfortable appeal. H

shopping Cle de Cartier Iconic Timepieces

Intrinsic to Cartier’s history as a creative watchmaker is a spirit of innovation. A pioneering ethos that has not just brought about numerous technical advances but also engendered ground breaking new forms: The square for Santos, the rectangle for Tank… The Result is a line of emblematic timepieces that have not just created a new aesthetic, but also stood the test of time. Creativity and pure excellence are the key to a success that has endured for more than a hundred years. The same qualities at the very heart of the Cle de Cartier.

A SIMPLE CURVE A Cartier timepiece is always a work in the three dimensions, a quasi-architectural exercise. The Maison had traditionally placed great emphasis on the volumetric qualities of its designs, creating models characterized by strong lines and distinctive forms.

Cle de Cartier is no exception. In one graceful swoop, it introduces a new element into the Maison’s watchmaking vocabulary: the tightly-drawn curve.

In profile, it is arched, streamlined and sleek, organic and ergonomic. Its sensual shape fits snugly to the wrist, providing ease and congeniality to the wearer.

In true Cartier style, it feels as good as it looks. Perfectly poised to one side. The element that gives the new model it’s name: Its jewel-like, key-like crown.

RE-THINKING A SIMPLE SHAPE For the concept of Cle De Cartier, the challenge was clear: to create a new form based on a perfect circle. A task that mat at first appear effortless. But, what seems straightforward is often deceptively so.

The result is a feat of subtlety and restraint. Shapes are pared down and reduced to their essence.

Everything is a question of precision, balance and proportion. Great mastery was employed to create a seamless flow, an elegant economy and a harmonious whole. Sharp edges were eliminated. The bezel is greatly rounded, the horns smoothly tapered.

Each component unites to conjure up an intangible perfection that is at once surprising, intuitive and universal. It is as it should be, as if it were always meant to exist.

10

A SIMPLE REVOLUTION Cartier has a rich history of creating innovative crowns and Cle de Cartier firmly upholds that heritage. This time, it is not only one of the watch’s most distinctive features, but also the inspiration for its name. ‘Cle’ in French means key and the crown’s resemblance to one is unmistakable. The act of resetting the time and date introduces a new gesture to the world of watch making-one that recalls the Hello Joburg • October 2015 • www.gohello.co.za

traditional turning of a key to wind up a clock. Its sizable dimensions make the crown remarkably easy to handle. But, functionality is not its sole asset. It is also an exquisite object in its own right. Elongated and pure, it is adorned with a sapphire that is not set in a classic manner. Instead it is ingeniously inserted to remain flush with the metal surrounding it.

A SIMPLE CLICK The new indexed winding mechanism combines both facility and conviviality. Specially developed with the user-friendliness in mind, it incorporates a system that allows the time to be set with great ease.

After making adjustments, it is possible to push the crown back in place and return it to its vertical position without the hands moving-an apparently simple gesture mastered thanks to Cartier’s consummate savoir-faire. And an exercise accompanied by a reassuring sound that enhances the sensorial experience.

The act of both turning the crown and pushing it back in activates a gentle clicking noise. A sound with echoes of congeniality, quality and the complex inner workings of the finest timepieces.

A SIMPLE STEP Combing cutting-edge technology and in-depth expertise, the new movement was developed, fabricated and assembled by the craftsmen of the Cartier manufacture in Switzerland. Its name, 1847 MC was not chosen by chance. The numerals indicate the year of the Maison’s creation. With a 25.6 diameter, it was imagined according to the same design principles as the case itself: A pared-down approach and a focus on efficiency. The incorporation of a particularly rapid barrel provides it with tremendous chronometric stability. Its automatic mechanism robustness and durability thanks to a special conceived lever system. Decorated with “Vagues de Genève”.

It boasts a semi-instantaneous date indicator and a 42-hour power reserve too. www.cartier.com

Rosebank Art and Craft Market Experience the energy of Africa under one roof V isiting local markets is always a fantastic idea for the summer season. Fortunately the Rosebank Craft Market is open seven days a week from 9am to 6pm, which means more time to shop, more time to be entertained and more time to experience and indulge ourselves in Africa’s rich tradition of arts and crafts. Promoting South Africa and all its cultures, the Rosebank Market is an extravaganza with every colour imaginable on display and energy so full of life and vitality.

Being Joburg’s original craft market, this market offers a variety of tastes and flavours. It was a difficult task but we chose three of our favourite stalls and chatted to the owners and businessmen and women behind the artistries.

Husein Ndoy from Senegal was our first stopover. All his crafts come from the picturesque country of Senegal. With an estimated population of about thirteen million it is no wonder talent lurks amongst them. Husein’s stall has striking traditional drums from Ghana and Senegal and he has worked in the market for over ten years. His passion and commitment to his

craft is evident as he shows us his most prized possession, a beautiful bronze mask valued at R18 000. He says (with s smile) the market has been an integral part of his life here in South Africa.

Sisa Thsithole from Zimbabwe was our second pit stop. She has worked in the market for an impressive nineteen years and she says each and every day, there is a new surprise and a fresh delight. Sisa is proud of her crafted pieces and says her most favorite pieces are her specialised, mukwa wooden hand crafted giraffes. She is extremely proud of her Mahogany chess sets and she says she loves creating and showcasing her tradition and customs within her sculptures and artworks.

Mary Wangui from Kenya was our final stop. Mary has ornaments and décor made of beads, leather, colourful fabrics and clay. She breathes life into her work and shows us her magnificent embroidered cloths from Kenya and tribal Masai necklaces and says this is all apart of her culture and her tradition, one, which she honors.

A DRONE

A DECENT COFFEE MACHINE

Who doesn’t want their own robot that they can fly and control via their smartphone? Many drones are now fitted with high definition cameras that allows you to also film video. Earlier this year the Lily Cam was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas - you wear a GPS tracking tag that fits in your pocket, throw the Lily Cam in the air and it follows you on your crazy adventures - from canoeing to snowboarding. Owning a drone is like having a really smart dog that can also take photos and record videos. Who doesn’t like dogs? Or amazing visual content? For just under R6000 you can purchase your own drone from the likes of YuppieGadget.com.

Say what? I may have jumped from incredible technology to something rather basic but the truth is - everyone needs a kitchen gadget that makes a decent cup of coffee. The days of instant are over.

From Espresso to filter, Cappuccino to Latte - good coffee should be a must not a nice to have. This ‘have to own’ gadget doesn’t need to break the bank.

You can pick up a Nescafé Dolce Gusto machine for under R2000. What’s your excuse? H

27Boxes C

You Want To Be Contained In

ontained and couture! 27Boxes is making headway and turning the heads of locals and internationals. This 2 700m² meter perimeter includes over 80 boutique stores - unique to South Africa’s style.

Inclusive of everything from an Italian Deli, to an art gallery, to gourmet ice cream, custom furniture, minimalistic jews and boutique clothing lines. You’re bound to find something you’ve un/ consciously been searching for!

By now, we hope you’ve seen that 27Boxes is built entirely from shipping containers. It’s the first of its kind in South Africa. Specifically when considering retail space because the Mill Junction Apartments, Newtown established in February 2014 were the first to introduce Joburger’s to this eccentric style of architecture.

The 27Boxes design team toured Europe looking at shipping container developments and modern retail centre designs. This is where inspiration was drawn from Boxpark in London (a renowned and successful shopping centre built entirely from shipping containers in 2011) and 27Boxes makes a bold statement about Joburg’s the George Pompidou Centre in Paris, which is evolving urban infrastructure. It is; a realisation of edgy design and practical implementation. A radical a more historic statement to industrial design, built in 1977. Here we have our very own trendvariation from the conventional shopping malls we’ve grown accustomed to. It’s even surrounded by setting shopping container in the iconic Melville streets! Perfectly tucked in between 3rd and an outdoor amphitheater, open plan design and a thriving garden.

4th Avenue in Melville – these romantic streets

also happen to be the parking space for 27Boxes’ clients as their current parking lot mainly caters to tenants.

Just before you forget how much we love you, keep in mind that 27Boxes is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9am - 5pm. On Sundays they’re open from 10am - 4pm. Try to find your favourite stores on social media for their latest updates, as some stores do trade on Monday’s. 27Boxes is open on Public Holidays from 9am 2pm (except Easter, Christmas and New Year).

Calvin Klein Jeans for Men and Women

Rebellious and sensual. A celebration of nomadic, urban individuality.

Dark, decadent and erotic. Infinite black denim rinsed in a stay-black wash is a dual gender staple for the season. Jeans feature innovative details using new hidden gel technology for embossed seaming. Contrasting pieces are nonchalantly thrown together for a laid-back, but statement-making attitude. Outfits are worn as though they’re coming undone – confident, uninhibited and sexy.

For her, denim is provocatively paired with lace and satin intimates for the ultimate look in seductive jeanswear. Washes in infinite black, ash grey and deep, dark denim are broken with nude and ecru. The new high-rise skinny and boyfriend jeans are styled with an open silk blouse, a fluid, exotic snake print top or a raw leather jacket. Leather dominates throughout the line making a strong statement, tempered by the use of lace or bare skin for a feminine feel. Leather dungarees are worn on bare skin while skirts are styled with an open boyfriend jacket revealing lingerie for a flirtatious edge. Textural pieces like the satin bomber jacket, a faded black skinny jean with raw hems and rips, and mini dresses in oversized shearling or mohair add impact to the line for a twisted yet sensual elegance.

For him, it’s an all-black wardrobe with micro print shirts, turtlenecks and the bomber flight jacket. Denim is reprocessed, distorted and repaired. Engineered features like ghost-seamed pockets create a clean impression. Jeans are available in slim and straight fits worn long with tops tucked-in.

A five pocket denim jacket with sharp silver snaps and zipper; a coated slim straight jean worn long; and a matte, waxed textured leather biker jacket with shearling collar are all key statement pieces. The evolution on utility continues, while expanding the juxtaposition of contrasting materials and mixed textures. “Athleisure” addresses the new phenomenon in modern dressing, where sportswear and activewear seamlessly blend.

Pap with morogo, chapati and pounded yam, Homebaze is home to some of the continents most loved dishes. Regulars will rave about the fired rice, fresh fish and goat meat amongst others.

And it’s delicious and good for you! Eat healthy, live longer is core to Homebaze’s food ethos. So forget all the grease and oil, with Homebaze, you can eat all your favourites prepared healthily too – grilled, flamed or steamed – now that’s a smart business model.

Nigerian Kenn Ayere is the smart man behind the concept. He has lived and worked in South Africa for

18

Traditional African Cuisine

the past 18 years and in that time has certainly made a household name for himself in the business industry. After more than 20 years in journalism, Kenneth Ayere had certainly come a very long way from his roots in Benin City in Southern Nigeria. It was time for a change. So from journalist to foodie fundi, Ayere ventured into the world of cooking, boiling and pairing, and hasn’t looked back.

How did it all start? Well it’s the ‘no place like home’ adage – Ayere explains that living

Where West, East, and South African flavours meet your mouth far away from home certainly makes you nostalgic and homesick for the comforts of your parents’ home. You start to miss the basics – and that drums up an appetite for good ol Nigerian home-cooked food fast. In fact, he hankered for the smells and textures of Nigerian kitchens so much that he ended up hosting family and friends in his home often, so as to indulge them in the flavours of Nigeria too. But what about everyone else?

Always looking at the bigger picture (very much a humanitarian at heart), Ayere found a solution and created Home Baze African Cuisine in 2003.

Back in the early days in South Africa, there were plenty of other spots to eat no matter what you felt like- from Chinese, Italian to Indian. But authentic African food was scarce. Home Baze changed things up.

Ayere says “Our coming saved Nigerians and other African nationals that huge stress,

Hello Joburg • October 2015 • www.gohello.co.za

because aside for Nigerian foods, we also serve delicacies from other African countries.

We have hosted presidents, ministers, top diplomats, VIPs and leading entertainers here.

Rita Marley and Oprah Winfrey’s crew relish eating African cuisines here whenever they are in South Africa.”

The food chain started in Johannesburg and soon made its way to Pretoria. Still as hardworking as ever, Ayere works long, endless hours to ensure his business is an absolute success which is why he has been able to open branches in Joburg and Pretoria.

So what’s on the menu? What’s not? Rumour has it that the pounded yam with efo is something to write home about, as is the Oxtail. And if the menu is new and confusing to you, just ask – the best way to experience other cultures is to dive straight in – appetite first. H

A food Olympian - Chef Trevor Boyd

B

eing the youngest of four brothers might have meant that he never got to tag along when the big boys were out having fun, but it did mean Trevor Boyd got to spend an inordinate amount of time with his mother in the kitchen.

Feeding four growing boys is certainly no let’s see what’s in the cupboard and hope for the best, kind of an approach. Trevor got to see first-hand, the love and energy required to truly feed people – and feed them well. And he has been doing that ever since.

Enthralled by his mother’s kitchen antics, Chef Trevor loved her food and would watch closely and with awe as she took raw ingredients and worked with them to create a hearty meal for the family.

In July this year Trevor was appointed as the new Executive Chef of The Michelangelo Hotel.

Few places in Johannesburg have stood the test of time like the Piccolo Mondo restaurant at the Michelangelo Hotel, which overlooks the ever cosmopolitan Nelson Mandela Square. An icon itself in the Sandton city metropolis, the restaurant has that old school Italian Renaissance combined with classical elegance that keeps the loyal customers coming back and entices the tourists from the moment they step off the Gautrain and into the Sandton vicinity. While the restaurant’s foundation stands solid, the menu changes with the times, the seasons and the trends keeping it’s offering modern and current.

Having wanted to work at the Michelangelo for many years, Trevor is excited to be at the helm of this prestigious kitchen. “I started cooking straight after school. I knew I wanted to be a chef, so I decided to be a chef in the army so that I would do something that would later on benefit me in the beginning of my career.”

modern takes on South African food and love incorporating worldly trends and techniques in the food that I produce.”

Trevor was a member of the South African National Culinary team of South Africa for 10 years. He calls those years some of the best and worst of his life. “I always took part in team sports and when I heard about Team SA I made sure not to miss the trials. I was very fortunate to make the team and do believe that my endurance improved my skills on the team.

I was fortunate to work with some great chefs along the way and made countless friends both locally and internationally. It may sound like a cliché that there is too much to talk about, but the reality is that so much happened I would not know where to start.”

And boy are there memories to share like competing in two Culinary Olympics in Erfurt Germany and winning a Gold Medal in 2008 and the Restaurant of Nations category. “I would never be able to described the feeling effectively enough. Pride, joy and excitement are just a few words I can use to describe the feeling. Being associated with the caliber of chefs locally and internationally was priceless to my own personal development.”

As with any career, there are always the highs and the lows. Chef Trevor is addicted to the people value. “I love the fact that I can be part of making a fantastic experience and memory for someone.

The part my kitchen plays is key to the experience and I take pride in contributing positively. But what infuriates him is working with people who work for a salary and not for the privilege to further their careers within the chef world.

And how does one handle rude patrons? We take Trevor’s insights pretty seriously considering his experience so take notes… “You just need to hear what they have to say, calm them by making sure they understand you are taking their remarks and comments seriously. Confidence in your own ability and product will always help to defuse a heated situation. Listen, empathise and act.

Advise for wanna be chefs: Understand that the kitchen is not all about TV shows and designer recipe books. Align yourself to a mentor that you trust and do everything that is asked of you by your mentor. The industry is very tough and social life is almost nonexistent.

Now that’s the most honest advice if you ask us. Use it! H

IlIl Giardino Restaurant giardino restaurant

he third Hello Recommends evening went off with a bang.

Literally. The very first Jozi spring storm hit and all our foodie favorites were elated with excitement and enthusiasm.

The evening took place on September 3rd at the Il Giardino Restaurant. Not under the olive trees but in The Room where it is hard not to feel touched by the legacy of love and romance. In pristine perfection, this space is elegant, charming and picture perfect.

Engulfed in a glass room with long running tables, showered with roses and candles, it was sure to be a night to remember.

Our fifteen favorite foodies were welcomed with silver Patron and Appletizer drinks, which certainly got the evening started! We were then all indulged with a Mont Du Toit wine education and wine tasting. Wine farming is a du Toit tradition, and members of the family have been wine farming for more than three hundred years in the Cape. The French Huguenot founder of the family established a farm near what is now Wellington in 1691, then a wild, untamed land abounding in game, and planted the first vines in the area. Filled with balance, fruit and elegance the wines were showcased in a beautiful fashion whilst guests admired the stunning surroundings at 44 Stanley.

The purpose of the evening was to once again showcase the newly launched GoHello app. Revolutionary in its field and constantly evolving with our city and its people, the app showcases the very best restaurants, hotels and leisure activities in Jozi.

Time to feast! All our guests were wowed by the selection of foods from the set menu. A delightful focaccia bread was served, fresh and crispy, accompanied with a gorgeous parmesan and avocado salad drizzled with a balsamic reduction. This was then followed

with a spaghetti pasta including anchovies and parmesan shavings. Moreish. For main the guests indulged in a delightful lamb chop and dessert was a big spoil: decadent chocolate brownies. YUM! Stuttafords Sandton also exuberantly spoiled guests with two winners of a male Paco Rabanne and female Carolina Herrera fragrances. HELLO spoils!

So what are you waiting for? Make a note in your diary to look out for our next #HelloRecommends evening, they will be a monthly treat where we host our beloved culinary connoisseurs.

Cheers to many more Hello Recommends evenings!

RECIPE: CHOC-COCONU

With Spring upon us, I know just how many of you are concerned about getting beach-body ready. And that really doesn’t have to mean restrictive diets and bland foods. It can be as simple as swapping up the unhealthy stuff for wholesome ingredients that taste just as good (if not better) than the real thing. This super yummy choc-coconut mousse is high in protein, sugar-free, banting friendly and completely delicious! This is an ideal treat to satisfy your sweet tooth when you feel a craving coming along. I absolutely love this dessert – it is so easy to make and contains clean, healthy, wholesome ingredients. When I develop my recipes, I always think about how the final product is going to nourish the body. This choc-coconut mousse is rich in healthy fats which keeps blood sugar levels nice and stable, promotes glowing skin and leaves you feeling completely satisfied.

Dr John Demartini How to live by your highest values Human behaviourist Dr John Demartini explains how to live by your own unique hierarchy of values so that you live an inspiring, meaningful and fulfilling life.

Each of us has a unique hierarchy of values that determine how we perceive the world, make decisions and act upon them. This set of values also decides our individual destiny.

Each of our unique set of values emerges from whatever we perceive to be most missing in our lives at any moment in time. These perceived voids thus determine our values and these evolve through time.

Every decision we make is based upon what we imagine at any particular moment will provide us with the greatest advantages over disadvantages and greatest rewards over risks. When we continually set goals that align with our top three highest values, we increase the probability of living an inspiring, meaningful and fulfilling life.

Set goals aligned with your values Determine your true highest values. (This can be done through completing the Demartini Value Determination Process found on my website - https://drdemartini.com/value_ determination). This process will help you identify your top three highest values. Now start prioritising your daily actions: fulfill those high priority actions and delegate all lower priority actions to others. If you don’t fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you, it will be filled with low priority distractive actions that don’t.

Anytime you set goals that are not aligned with your true highest values, you decrease the probability of having a fulfilling life and end up experiencing what I call ‘the self-depreciating ABCD’s of negativity’ – internally directed anger and aggression, blame and feelings of betrayal, criticism and challenge and despair and depression.

Determine what is important Over time, our lives demonstrate our true highest values. Each of our daily decisions is based upon these values. No one can indefinitely act or live outside their true highest values without repercussions. Although a number of people subordinate to other authorities to some degree and thus become clouded about what is truly most important to them, and may even attempt to live according to other’s values, they cannot sustain such actions, nor can they repress their own nature.

Prioritise your life

Fill your days with what truly inspires you most.

Also, caringly help others fulfill what is most important to their highest values. Document every experience, action or event that you can be grateful for each day. Gratitude is the key that opens the gateway of the heart. The heart is then filled with love which, when released, results in enthusiasm and inspiration.

Mastery of oneself is an ongoing project.

Discovering the true magnificence and unique talents we all have is golden. Gradually awakening to the fuller realisation that nothing is actually ever missing or void within us is even more priceless.

It is through transcending each of these transient illusions that this great realisation is gradually awakened.

So along our journey of awakening, setting goals that are true, real, balanced and in alignment with our true highest values and then living authentically according to them will awaken our calling and inspiration from within which is our greatest wisdom expressed through love. It is therefore wise to fill each day with our highest priority actions and delegate anything less – like a tree that is growing toward enlightenment.

By liberating ourselves from anything less than what is truly most important in our lives, we can then live our most inspired life. This requires that we fill our days with inspired actions that open our hearts and serve ourselves and an ever-greater number of others. H Dr. John Demartini is a human behaviour specialist, educator, author and the founder of the Demartini Institute.

Dr Mark Dr. Mark Steinmann, MBBCh (Wits), FC Plast Surg (SA) completed his training at the University of the Witwatersrand and obtained his fellowship from the College of Plastic Surgeons of South Africa.

GETTING RIGHT TO THE POINT The long and short of microneedling

C

ommonly referred to as a “Vampire Facial”, microneedling or collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles that are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury.

This stimulates the production of new collagen & elastin as a defense mechanism and stimulates the blood supply, thus plumping and refining the skin. At the same time, highly potent serums containing active ingredients are absorbed into these tiny micro channels, utilizing the increased absorption.

Microneedling can break down scar tissue and areas or pigmentation, create even texture and stimulate blood supply, thus increasing circulation.

If you have burn scarring or hypertrophic scarring, scarring from previous surgeries or acne, then microneedling could be a hugely beneficial treatment for you.

Microneeding can also treat fine lines and wrinkles, creating a fresher, younger appearance.

What can I expect from this treatment?

Before you run away screaming you should know that a numbing ointment will be applied to the entire treatment area to ensure minimal discomfort. Once anaesthetized, a highly-trained therapist will lightly glide the micro needling hand piece over the skin. During this time there may be some bleeding but this will subside once the treatment has been completed.

Immediately afterwards your skin will be red, sensitive, hot and swollen. You may experience bruising around the eyes but this is perfectly normal. ISunblock is applied directly after the procedure and the patient should apply religiously following the procedure and try to avoid direct sunlight as the skin is exposed and thus more sensitive.

During the healing process you may experience swelling, itching, tightness, peeling scabbing and in some cases, darkening of the skin (this will lighten as the skin sheds). This is only for a short while and as the new skin surfaces, it is fresh and rejuvenated.

While it may sound frightening, microneedling is a fantastic way to achieve beautiful, revitalized skin and is a fraction of the cost of invasive laser and surgical procedures. H

My Skin Spa

endless perfection

here are not many things I love more than a brand new salon. Especially when it exists in the heart of the city and it exudes professionalism and satisfaction. This may seem difficult to achieve but I promise you, My Skin Spa is always a good idea.

Located inside the Morningside Shopping Centre, the spa is intimate, luxurious and has a minimalist design.

Popping with life and a positive flow of energy, it’s not difficult to understand why Carla Blumenthal is already so successful. Carla is as full of vivacity as her dream space, and her passion is evident throughout the salon which is perfectly in line with its Sandton clientele.

On this note, I had to visit this impressive space and I opted to try the QMS facial.

To call this treatment relieving would be an understatement. It is an all in one game changer and you will see the difference the minute you walk out the door.

Satisfying the skins collagen and elasticity this facial is creamy and seamlessly calming, highlighting the faces positive attributes. This facial is unique because it keeps the skin firm and healthy, it prevents the skin’s aging process as well as premature light-induced skin aging. It also nurtures and leaves the skin feeling supple.

The QMS skincare range encompasses an exclusive combination of vitamins. Its unique formulation makes it suitable for all skin tones, covering imperfections, giving a naturally fresh look and leaves your skin glowing and fit the whole year round. Perfect for the upcoming summery sunshine-filled days!

Joburgers this is a true star! It is one of the most impressive salons I have visited as it embodies the essence and sophistication of a deluxe location and a real pamper pleaser. And lets be honest going for a facial has become nonnegotiable. So now that you have all you need to know to ensure you have the most beautiful spring skin, what are you waiting for?! H

APARTHEID MUSEUM The basic principle behind apartheid was simple – segregate everything. Cut a clean line through a nation to divide black from white and keep them divided. Pay us a visit and you will come to understand that any form of racial inequality leads to destruction.

Apartheid is exactly where it belongs – in a museum.

African Futures Festival Coming This October!

O

ur continent is rife in culture and colour! Our people are prone to smiles and laughter.

Even with our complexities, we’re finding a way to blend our contrasting concepts.

Bringing together thought leaders from all over the continent, the Goethe-Institut will present the African Futures Festival which will concurrently take place in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria.

In Johannesburg, between the 28th and 31st of October, more than 50 international and local guests will be invited to the Goethe-Institut at 119 Jan Smuts Avenue / Parkwood, as well as other venues, to explore and develop Africa’s future narrative.

The events feature literature, fine arts, performance, music, film and various digital formats.

During the run-up to the festival, writers Lindokuhle Nkosi (Cape Town) and Percy Zvomuya (Harare/ Johannesburg) will explore some of the many facets of African Futures on the Tumblr www.goethe. de/africanfutures, including Black Feminism, Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Knowledge Production in Africa. Created and curated, participants (such as us) will be able to contribute to this digital documentation.

SAB WORLD OF BEER The World of Beer came into being in 1995, an iconic year in South Africa’s history. It was the country’s first full year as a democracy, the year we came together as a nation to lift the Rugby World Cup trophy, and the year SAB celebrated a century of brewing mastery. To commemorate this milestone, the company opened what was then known as the Centenary Centre, a museum designed to showcase the history of South African beer.

15 Helen Joseph Street,Newtown 011 836 4900 www.worldofbeer.co.za THE DITSONG NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MILITARY HISTORY The South African National War Museum was officially opened on 29 August 1947 by the then Prime Minister of South Africa, Field Marshal J C Smuts.

In 1975 the Museum’s name was changed to the South African National Museum of Military History and its scope was expanded to include the

history of all military conflict in which South Africans have played a part.

The Museum also serves as a popular and unusual venue for conferences and other functions.

The festival kicks off in Johannesburg on Wednesday, 28 October with a conversation between awardwinning writers Nnedi Okorafor (Nigeria/ USA), Lauren Beukes (South Africa), Leif Randt (Germany) and Binyavanga Wainaina (Kenya).

The following days will see two concurrent interdisciplinary festivals also taking place in Lagos and Nairobi. Ultimately broadening African conversations through digital instruments – all free of charge. Besides exhibitions, a film series and a virtual reality workshop, the African Futures Festival programme will also feature a live video conference connecting Johannesburg with São Paulo and New York – two cities whose cultural production is strongly shaped by African influences.

This will all be completed by a futuristic concert at Alexander Theatre in Braamfontein on the 31st of October 2015. German-Ghanaian-Portuguese collective Gato Preto will play alongside Nigerian musician Keziah Jones, with Spoek Mathambo presenting a brand new set of music in collaboration with yet to be announced Mozambican musicians.

Q&A Hellog Jobur

i n i m a l D e LeAnn ITH

7 MINUTES W

A

lready blessed with a career that is flying high, singer and songwriter LeAnne D continues to work hard in establishing herself as a trend-setter in the entertainment arena.

After giving birth to her second daughter Zaya-Rose in November 2013, the multi-skilled artist has not let the grass grow under her feet. She impressed SA audiences with her role on Strictly Come Dancing Season 7 and is hard at work on her new singles, which will be released during the course of 2015.

But that wouldn’t be a surprise for a talent such as LeAnne, who has graced stages across the world and worked with some of the biggest artists on the planet on her way to becoming a headline act herself.

HELLO JOBURG Magazine had the honor of sitting down with LeAnne to find out a little more about this true Joburger: HJ: You love Joburg because…

LD: Of its diversity and vibrancy! It’s an electric city filled with so many hopes and dreams, what’s not to love!

HJ: Your new single just dropped! Tell us all the deets!

LD: My new single is called “No Sweat”. It was produced and recorded in LA with producer AV from The Natives and he also happens to be the rapper on the track. It’s a fun and playful take on being confident about getting your ex back whenever you want, even though you don’t want him back… But just letting him now.

HJ: Who would be a dream to have up on stage with you?

LD: Beyonce and Destiny’s Child! I have been a fan since day 1!

HJ: Do you still get nervous?

LD: All the time. I’ve heard that when you no longer get nervous you’ve lost your passion for whatever it is that you do. I hope I never do.

HJ: If you had to choose three people to have dinner with dead or alive, who would they be?

LD: My dad, my mom and my brother. My dad passed away tragically in a car accident last year and to just have my family together again would be like heaven to me.

HJ: What did you want to be before you grew up?

LD: I’ve always wanted to be a singer. I was the entertainer in our house growing up.

HJ: Gladiator sandals are…

LD: In! They’re edgy and comfortable and so boho chic.

Make sure you have a pair for summer!

HJ: Describe your style in three words.

LD: Classic, comfortable and predictable.

The World Class Best Bars in the World list gives each of these establishments – spread across 53 countries, with two venues on the open seas – a stamp of distinction, anointing them as places of high esteem and sophistication. World Class is to bars as the Michelin Guide is to restaurants.

The March Hare in Johannesburg has been included on the list.

Domenico de Lorenzo – the best mixologist in South Africa, who represented the country at the World Class Bartender of the Year Global Final – co-owns the March Hare, adding his unparalleled expertise in cocktail making to the venue’s behind-the-bar repertoire.

Dom de Lorenzo was a firm favourite among fans during the World Class competition, impressing spectators and judges alike with his resolve, technique and delivery – creating memorable cocktails such as the “Curious Case of the Malted Man”, the “Tokoloshe” and the “Chappies are the New Dollar”, which added elements of South African storytelling to the drinks making process.

Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort The Ideal Weekend Retreat Roughly four and a half hours drive from Johannesburg, and nestled amongst the hills of the central Drakensberg Mountains, lies Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort. Taking its name from the peak sandwiched between the towering Champagne Castle and Cathkin mountains, this pristine resort borders on the Mlambonja and Mdedelo Wilderness areas, and the scenery on the drive from the highway to the hotel, is nothing short of breathtaking.

The resort is centered around the immaculately maintained 9 hole, 18 tee golf course, and features a mini putt putt course for the kiddies, as well as several swimming pools, one of which complete with a pool bar, 3 tennis courts, a volleyball court, and a kiddies play area to keep the children entertained for a good long while.

I arrived after lunch on Sunday afternoon, and much to my joy my suite was right at the end of the property, and well enough away from other guests to afford me some much needed peace and quiet.

My suite was modestly appointed, yet spotless and included all the basic necessities to make one’s stay a comfortable one, including

(much to my joy) a hair dryer – you would be surprised how often hotels omit this vital item!

The sliding doors opened on to a small patio, and a mere step off the patio found me right on the edge of the golf course. I enjoyed a complimentary cappuccino in the sun on my patio and watched some rather enthusiastic golfers whizzing about in golf carts and cheering each other on as they went on to the next hole. Nothing better on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, to be certain.

The hotel offers a variety of rooming options at different prices depending on your needs – from suites, to self-catering, and I noticed a tour group as well that arrived in the early evening.

Nearby activities include a treetop canopy tours, white water rafting, a Bird of Prey Centre, a variety of local farm stalls, and arts and crafts villages.

The staff at Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort are welcoming, and the service prompt and helpful. The onsite restaurant, “Friar Tuck”, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as light meals at in-between times, and the menu, although not extensive, was encompassing enough to suit any palate.

On the evening I was there, the restaurant served a simple, yet tasty buffet, consisting of a delicious leek and potato soup, several main course options such as a beef curry, chicken and fish dishes, accompanied by vegetables and potatoes, fresh salads and rounded off with a homemade dessert variety, served with ice cream.

The breakfast buffet is filling: fresh fruits, juices, cereals and a cooked menu, made exactly to your selection, with delicious homemade pastries to tempt the taste buds.

“Monks Cowl” is managed by Gooderson Leisure Corporation, which has been in operation since 1957 and currently encompasses a portfolio of 9 properties in Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal, and Mpumalanga.

I unfortunately did not have time to visit the resort spa, which is conveniently based on the premises, however the spa menu placed in my Gooderson Leisure aims to provide affordable room looked amazing, and very well priced – and fun holidays for families, in some of the perfect for an afternoon of relaxation while most picturesque surroundings our country the gents are on the golf course. has to offer, and Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort is certainly no exception. The surroundings are luscious and breathtaking, and I can certainly recommend this hotel as an affordable getaway for golf and nature enthusiasts on a budget. I hope to be back again to visit in the very near future.

Honda’s High Raised Crossover

C

HR-V

urrently SUV’s are all the rage – in fact the compact SUV/Crossover segment is one of only two categories in the South African car market that is growing.

Designed to attract a youthfully orientated customer, the HR-V is sculpturally sexy.

The new Honda on the block is a hybrid of personalities: coupe like sport utility vehicle (SUV) and multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in one. As a result of its handsome lines it offers class-leading smooth aerodynamics. From any angle but particularly its side detailing lines, the HR-V looks “ready for action” – a stance that commands attention.

The HR-V is available in two options: 1.5 Comfort and 1.8 Elegance both fitted with a continually variable transmission (CVT).

48

The interior of the HR-V is surprisingly Hello Joburg • October 2015 • www.gohello.co.za

spacious, beguiling its compact proportions.

The contemporary dashboard is crowned by a high-tech borderless - infotainment screen. The screen runs the cars myriad of functions. In the Comfort model you’ll find: USB, AUX inputs, trip computer and FM/ AM tuner. There is also a Bluetooth interface for hands-free telephony and audio streaming, which is linked to the multi-function steering wheel. Its modern interior is given a boost of sophistication with high quality soft touch materials that add to the HR-V’s appeal.

Due to its raised height, drivers will enjoy a more confident feeling over the road. Roomy comfort is not only reserved for the driver, back seat passengers also get to enjoy the comfort that extra headroom and leg space bring. To top it off - Honda’s signature 60:40 split Magic Seat system that allows for the rear seats to be flattened and folded – creating cavernous space and a variety of storage options.

All models are standard with a fouryear 60 000 km service plan, three-year 100 000 km warranty and one-year road side assistance. The HR-V is priced from R299 900 for entry level 1.5 Comfort and R354 900 for the 1.8 Elegance.

Subaru’s

motoring

I

Outback

magine if you will, a family: three and a half kids, mom, dad, a cat and a big furry dog – let’s say for arguments sake a Golden Retriever.

They are a busy bunch: lift clubs, piano lessons and adventurous weekends away. Being active is high on this family’s agenda – though following the mainstream isn’t their vibe. They like trail runs, rock climbing, and mountain biking - anything venturesome really.

They need a car that’s highly capable of catering to all their needs, yet versatile in its practicality. Reliability, safety and value for money are key elements in making a purchasing decision for the above mentioned family.

Left of centre, but with its eye on the trend, the Outback’s been upgraded - with an upmarket brush stroke. Techno-savvy boffins with a love for mod cons will enjoy the likes of the 6.2-inch touch screen with an interface reminiscent of smart tablet, the 12-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system, Bluetooth connectivity for hands free chats and an automatic tailgate which opens at the press of a button on the cars key fob.

Available in three engines: two petrol and one diesel. The range begins with the entry-level 2.5, followed by the 2.0 turbodiesel and tops out with the 3.6 H6. On review - the 2.5 that features Subaru’s famous Boxter engine. Like the upgraded cabin, so too is its 2.5 engine that pushes out 129kW of power; sipping under 8l/per 100km’s of the finest 95 octane.

The Outback is a great car: large, comfortable, understated and very capable. As a result I liked it. For those of you who don’t follow the crowd – this is an outstanding family vehicle with a performance twist - as with all Subaru’s!

Prices begin at R479 000, which is great value – considering the car you get for the price.

The furious version of the world’s bestselling car

Ford Focus ST3 T

he ST3 features a 2.0 4 cylinder EcoBoost engine – swooshing 184kW of power, thanks to its turbo.

From the outside the ST3 is equipped and bulked up with aggressively imposing body armour - the ST3 certainly isn’t a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The ST3 is a boy racer, in every sense of the word. It looks like one and drives like it too – wheel spinning pull offs are par for the course, as is the sensation that it corners as if it’s on rails. It’s a hooligan designed to excite those experienced drivers who love the thrill of motoring while scaring the lesser experienced with its menacing character.

Enter the cabin - the previously cluttered dashboard of the Focus is now ordered, more simplistic - due to its large touch screen infotainment system that now controls a variety of the cars systems at the touch of the screens button. The quality of the materials have been upgraded and the snug fitting Recaro leather sports seats remain. The ST may be tough enough for a street race but

inside the cabin emulates a more sophisticated feel. Soft to touch materials, fine grade leather and embroidered ST detailing make for a classy spot to place your derrière.

With the upgrades, come a questionable adjustment to the ST’s suspension – supposedly tweaked to improve – I felt the ST to be firmer than before. Previously the ST suffered from torque steer (when the steering wheel moves left and right in your hand as the tyres grasp for grip of the tarmac when accelerating hard). Unfortunately it still suffers from torque steer, which can feel like Usain Bolt out of the starting block but with a pair of his wife’s wedges on. Driven more sedately you won’t pick up this sensation problem.

There are few cars that are as entertaining to drive, albeit the money you save buying the ST over its competitors should be used for an advanced driving course – knowledge is power, right? Having the knowledge to control the power of the ST will make this the most fun you can have for R350 900 for the base ST1 and R394 900 for the higher spec’d ST3. H

The south african flag

T

he South African national flag was first flown in April 1994, after the first free election in South Africa. It is designed by Frederick G Brownell and is the only flag in the world with six colours.

The flag means different things to different people. According to the flag’s designer, the red symbolizes the blood that was shed during the various wars and conflicts in the country. It is also suggested that the blue represents the sky and the two oceans that flank the country.

The green symbolises the farms and the rich, natural environment of the country, while the yellow represents the natural resources, particularly gold. Finally, it is said that the black represents black South Africans, while the white represents the white population of the country.
