Gauteng is Africa with a difference, offering the best of all worlds and attracting millions of international tourists. A million or so of you came to our shores during the World Cup, and travelled our province. From township tours to Big Five safaris, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plain to see that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed yourselves. The universal appeal of football is hard to deny â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we all like to compete,

we all like to win and we all realise that most of us must reach a point when we have to admit defeat. But not everyone realised that by coming to the African continent they were coming home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; retracing the footsteps of our ancestors. Like so many tourism offerings in Gauteng, the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site has been abuzz with tourists. Here youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learnt that our common forebears left Africa around 150 000

years ago. We may differ in skin colour and the language that we speak, but these differences are minor compared to our common trait â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being human. If we acknowledge our common origins and our common destiny, we will realise that our shared future is one that should be on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda. Go well. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Office of the Gauteng premier

USING THIS GUIDE Gauteng is a city that can overwhelm the unsuspecting traveller. Relax. This guide is here to help make the most of the short time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be spending in our cool province. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organised into two main segments: seeing and doing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve colour-coded everything to make it easier for you to get to where you need to be. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, cultural hotspots and places to venture to while you twiddle your thumbs between the big games. We hope you enjoy your stay. Kinda.

RED: For those in the mood to drink like a champion and party YELLOW: For the gastronomes who like fine dining, theatre and other performances BLUE: For those who want to take in Gautengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage and history, along with some heavy-duty shopping and recreation GREEN: For the people who like getting away from the action and spending some time exploring the reaches of a province ORANGE: Stadiums and their surrounds This is the sixth edition of six guides to the province of Gauteng. Gauteng isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just Joburg. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also home to Pretoria and other strange surrounds, like Midrand. You can get your guide in the weekend editions of the Sunday Times, Sunday World and on weekdays in the Sowetan. Check the back of each guide for contact details and stockists.

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ALL ABOUT Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent the last month kicking it up across Gauteng and now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a new liver for your next birthday. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in dropping the ball now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the mother of all World Cup parties is upon us. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your lastminute action plan for making the most of the final fest ! " â&#x20AC;˘ This is not the first time Shakira will perform at a World Cup closing ceremony: the Colombian superstar performed Hips Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Lie (barefeet and all) at the 2006 finals in Berlin. â&#x20AC;˘ Simon Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popera supergroup Il Divo also made their mark on the last Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; performing the official 2006 World Cup anthem, The Time of Our Lives, for the fans.

â&#x20AC;˘ Adding his flair in 2006 was Placido Domingo who sang Willkommen bei Uns, a song written by his son, Placido Domingo Jr. Whether or not Domingo will be at the final in South Africa remains to be seen, but the chances are high. The Spanish tenor has attended every World Cup final since 1982, when Italy beat Germany 3-1 in Rome. â&#x20AC;˘ Canadian rocker Bryan Adams is also in town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrea Bocelli performance at the CocaCola Dome, and three solo dates: Cape Town on July 13, Durban on July 16 and Joburg on July 18. Who knows, he may just stop off at Soccer City before heading to Cape Town.

Things we know for sure about the 2010 Fifa World Cup closing ceremony Italian and French fans will be scarcer than water on the moon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because, as we all know now, the two teams who fired up the final in 2006 dejectedly headed home some time ago. There will be fireworks. Lots of them. And probably also that glittery paper stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a lot of cleaning up on July 12. There will be traffic jams, so get yourself a copy of , the official 2010 Fifa World Cup album, to keep your spirits up during the gridlock. You may cry and kiss strangers. It will be cold. Okay, so probably not as cold as that first week of the tournament, when even hardened Gautengers hauled out the gloves and hats and scarves, but still, dress warmly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough to have a ticket. Even thermal undies are appreciated at this time. If the Germany figures are anything to go by, there will be hundreds of performers: the 2006 Fifa World Cup opening and closing ceremonies featured a massive 2 500 artists. You will not know what to do with yourself come July 12. If you fall into this category, read on â&#x20AC;Ś

* Soccer City. 8.30pm. Dress warm

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the envy of everyone you know and have a ticket to the final, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to arrive at Soccer City super early: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be madness. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;park and walkâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;park and rideâ&#x20AC;? options both require prepaid tickets (R50 a car and available through www.computicket.com), but during the World Cup month punters have reported that the easiest access has been through Metrorail, which has laid on free (to ticket holders) and dedicated trains to take fans to the stadium. The Rea Vaya BRT has also provided reliable transport (R12 for a return ticket). Go to www.joburg.org.za for more.

Start saving NOW for a trip to Brazil in 2014. The Fifa World Cup trophy is headed there in four yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time after that country won the bid to play host. Brazil might not have triumphed on the playing field in 2010, but they are a football-mad nation, having won the tournament a record five times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so they should pull out all the stops to trump what South Africa has achieved. And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a final fast fact: 2014 will be the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second time hosting the World Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brazil was the home of the tournament in 1950, when Uruguay trounced them 2-1 in the final. Which could mean that in, oh, around 60-plus years, South Africa could be at it for a second round, so remember to pass all the good stories on to your kids.

Here are some suggestions and multiple reasons for returning to Gauteng if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a visitor Return in spring. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Joburg and Pretoria are awash with purple from the flowers of thousands of Jacaranda trees. They may have been imported from South America 100 or so years ago, but they sure make Gauteng look pretty. Spring also means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the annual Soweto Festival. This festival focuses on entertainment, exhibitions, conferences, shopping and networking. It takes place at various venues at the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown and the University of Johannesburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soweto campus over heritage weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Friday 24 September to Sunday 26 September.

The annual Pretoria Show has now been renamed the Tshwane International Show, and takes place in the city from August 27 to September 5. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always worth a visit. This time it goes under the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pride and Passionâ&#x20AC;? in 2010, which is a good fit for what all South Africans should be feeling after hosting the World Cup. Fun for the whole family, the show takes place at the Tshwane Events Centre, 012 327 1487. September is also the month of the annual Joburg Arts Alive International Festival, so you could come back here for a full 30 days and never be bored. The month is dedicated to showcasing a cross-genre feast of arts and takes place in all corners of Joburg. Go to www.artsalive.co.za to keep up-to-date with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme. Last but not least, have a laugh. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like a sidesplitting guffaw to keep up the spirits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, arrogant as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reportedly becoming, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one who does it better than South African comedian Trevor Noah. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing The Fringe at the Joburg Theatre Complex from August 24 to 29, so book now at Computicket (www.computicket.com).

ZAR Where: Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Cnr Rivonia Road and West streets, Sandton, Joburg Cover charge: Nada Digits: 011 286 1000 Go star-spotting. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really bold, you can hustle your way into Joburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest, most star-studded hotspot, ZAR. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the 13th floor of the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel and opened on June 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; instantly establishing itself as the place to be seen, drink in hand, listening to tunes and looking out over one of the most spectacular views in the city. Stay cool, though: this thoroughly international nightlife venue has already been host to a head-spinning array of celebs like John Legend and the Black Stars. ZAR is open from 11am every day and its location opposite the Sandton station makes it the perfect spot to have a last, long drink before you catch the Gautrain back to OR Tambo.

PIRATES SPORTS CLUB Where: 25 Braeside Street, Greenside, Joburg Digits: 011 646 5025 Cover charge: Nada Go suburban. Locals love Pirates Sports Club in Greenside, Jozi, so if you want a warm, unpretentious place to catch the finals, head to this venue. Munch on Cliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always-popular chicken prego while quaffing some beer. And a note to those with a brood: this is a great place if you have kids and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty safe, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oldest sports club in the city and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most relaxed places to hang out.

GO TO SANDTON. Want to try one last bit of star-spotting before all the players and celebs fly out of here? Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square are always great bets for a star strike. On the day after Ghanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart-crushing defeat, members of the Black Stars (including Fulham defender John Pantsil) were spotted cruising around the shopping precinct, drowning their sorrows with a spot of high-end retail therapy. On the same day, Bafana Bafanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matthew Booth was in the front row at the KluK CGDT show at Africa Fashion Week over at the Sandton Convention Centre. See www.sandtoncentral.co.za for maps and stuff to do.

* More than meets the eye

By the time the final whistle blows on the 2010 Fifa World Cup at Soccer City, Soweto, tonight, most fans should know the ropes. And by all accounts they already do.

Joburg restaurateurs and owners of shisa nyamas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; butcheries where you can grill your meat and buy pap (thick maize porridge) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are reporting a massive increase in the volumes of meat being consumed by voracious foreign fans, especially just before, during and immediately after big matches.

South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beef â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with sirloin and fillet the stand-out cuts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been the biggest hit, it seems, for both winning and losing fans. The universal ritual sacrifice of steak to the flames serves the dual function of celebration and consolation. And in a country that venerates steakhouse cuisine, and that sacrifice is made even more affordable by a favourable exchange rate, who would turn down a top-quality steak? The food cultures of South America, Africa and the rare-roast-and-horseradish-sauce English revolve, for the most part, around beef. Though pork is the meat most often associated with German fans, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurateurs report that Teutonic fans are ordering far more steaks than bratwurst, eisbein and sauerkraut. Also high on the list for German fans are ostrich fillet and South African game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kudu loin is scarcer than henâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth at the moment. For Spain, beef is imbued with associations of strength and courage and fans are apparently building their strength for Brazil in four yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. So clearly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no stroke of luck that the Golden Arches is one of the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official sponsors. In overall second position as a beast of celebration, or consolation, is lamb. South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lamb â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially that from the Karoo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has a well-established international reputation that has been significantly boosted by the World Cup. Joburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butchers have been battling to meet the massive demand for spit-braaied sheep or lamb on the last day of the tournament. So here are your choices for the day of the final: â&#x20AC;˘ First prize is to crack an invite to a South African braai. In light of the generous spirit of friendship that South Africans have displayed throughout the tournament, that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too tall an order. To celebrate the value of reciprocity, pop in beforehand into our supermarkets and buy a couple of matured steaks. The traditional boerewors from Checkers is also a grind above the rest. Should you feel obliged to make a contribution bordering on the sublime, visit the Grillhouse in Rosebank, where Paris Hilton and Leonardo DiCaprio

dined last Thursday, and buy a couple of prime ribs. Or make your way to the Braeside Butchery (011 788 3613) for sirloin from a beast fed on grass, not grain. â&#x20AC;˘ If you have tickets for the final, your best bet for a bite before the game is to get to Soccer City very early. Football fans of every nation are raving about the food and cheap drinks available at nearby shisa nyamas. Or party and eat at one after the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; win or lose. â&#x20AC;˘ Visitors who watch the game at one of the World Cup fan parks are in for a treat. Most of the parks are gearing up to provide spectators with an afternoon and evening feast of lamb and beef roasted on spits over charcoal fires.

SPUR STEAKHOUSE Where: Shop 15, P6 level, Menlyn Shopping Centre, Atterbury Road, Menlyn, Pretoria Digits: 012 368 1042 Cheap and cheerful franchise organisation and a firm favourite with South African families.

Gauteng has a myriad places to go â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for getting the party started, watching the match and living it up afterwards.

Or just go for broke and book the VIP experience to watch the games in heated marquees with plasma screens and restaurantstyle dining.

SAKHUMZI RESTAURANT Where: 06980 Vilakazi Street, Orlando West, Soweto Cover charge: Nada Digits: 011 536 1379 Since 2001, when founder and owner Sakhumzi Maqubela decided to run his own restaurant, Sakhumzi Restaurant has been a favourite eating spot in Soweto.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all on offer in this constructed-from-the-ground-up mini town. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also safe and secure and, by all accounts, one of the World Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best communal experiences. And if you really want to get fall-down-drunk, there are some good hotels in the area (the Peech, the Protea Fire & Ice and the Melrose Arch Hotel) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though at this stage of the game, room at the inn isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly guaranteed.

TURBINE HALL Where: 67 Ntemi Piliso Street, Newtown, Joburg Digits: 087 310 3888 A new Jozi hotspot. Why not kick back and chill at the atmospheric and sophisticated bar? The champagne cellar warrants a look-in.

SPORTS BARS

BARS

KATZY’S Where: Cnr Oxford Road and Bierman Ave, the Firs shopping centre, Rosebank, Joburg Digits: 011 880 3945 Commune here with the smooth, single-malt whiskey and imported cigar crowd. Recently revamped, the vibe is sophisticated. There’s a small stage for the nightly live performances.

TURTLE CREEK WINERY Where: 58 Wierda Road East, Sandton, Joburg Digits: 011 884 0465 The bar of choice for corporates looking to let their hair down. There’s a full menu, DJs and a long, long list of wine for the connoisseur.

MAPUNGUBWE HOTEL Where: 52 Marshall Street, Newtown, Joburg Digits: 011 429 2600 Once a French bank, this is a swish place in the middle of urban Jozi to sip decadent cocktails or French champagne. Don’t turn up in dirty takkies.

DARKIE CAFÉ Where: 10 Anderson Street, Marshalltown, Joburg Digits: 072 626 6074 Slick and elegant, Darkie Café, smack bang in the Jozi CBD, is populated with beautiful, young and hip creatures. The (traditional South African) food ain’t bad either. Watch out for the late-night salsa parties.

THE POLO LOUNGE Where: The Westcliff Hotel, 67 Jan Smuts Ave, Westcliff, Joburg Digits: 011 481 6000 A favourite hotel for celebs. Offers an elegant choice for sundowners. It’s a little pricier than the rest — but the view makes it all worth it.

THE HYDE PARK HOTEL Where: Hyde Park Hotel, Jan Smuts Ave, Hyde Park, Joburg Digits: 011 341 8080 The crowd is sassy, the vibe is smooth and all the drinks are top notch. Get out onto the deck and grab a lounger.

Their aim? To tease. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four to go to after the final LOLLIPOP LOUNGE Where: Cnr Bond and Burke streets, Randburg, Joburg Digits: 011 781 8779/80 Great local girls, great steaks, big bouncers, big beats, two stages and beautiful waitresses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take lightly to heckling.

18 TEAZERS Where: 344 Rivonia Boulevard, Rivonia, Joburg Digits: 011 807 8722 Started by the late king of sleaze, Lolly Jackson, Teazers in Rivonia is the premier club. It even has autographed guitars on the walls. Table dances, R250; lap dances, R400; breast dances, R700; hour booking, R1 400; private booth booking, R2 800.

THE GRAND Where: Cnr 11th Ave and Rivonia Boulevard, Rivonia, Joburg Digits: 011 234 9593 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a strip club, really. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got great food (included in the entrance fee), champagne on tap, sushi and babes: hot, hot babes. Cover charge at night, R200.

EAT ! * If you can stomach it

How do you like your hangover? Over easy or sunny side up? After last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serious partying, skip the bland hotel breakfast and try these instead...

TASHAS CAFĂ&#x2030; Where: Cnr Atholl and Wierda roads, Atholl Square, Atholl, Joburg Digits: 011 884 0365 Perfect place to see the work of SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skilled plastic surgeons. The almost effervescent freshness of the orange juice graciously gives way to the fecund, post-Highveld-thunderstorm smell and taste of Beta vulgaris, that rude hero of the tuber world. At the end of each quite extraordinary sip, the rocket kicks in with a chorus of pepper and freshly mown grass that bolsters the drinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect evocation of Joburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climate.

FRENCH CORNER BAKERY Where: 277 Main Road, Cramerview Village, Joburg Digits: 011 463 5808 For the best croissant and pain au chocolat in the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well worth going out of your way for. Great baguettes and the prettiest, tastiest fruit tartlets for a tea-time treat. The ham and emmenthaler croissantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great kick-off to the day. Double espresso and service are excellent.

THE GRACE HOTEL Where: 54 Bath Avenue, Rosebank, Joburg Digits: 011 280 7200 On the cold buffet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; consistently the best in town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the platters of ripe, sliced fruit are attractively presented and well maintained. The salmon platter is covered with grape leaves to ensure that the salmon does not dry out. And nothing is consigned to the sweltering horror of a chaffing dish. Hot breakfasts are ordered from an enticingly simple menu. The Grace Benedict â&#x20AC;&#x201D; salmon on brioche topped with poached eggs and a red-pepper hollandaise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is beyond reproach. The soft-poached eggs are perfectly cooked and the sweetsmoky red pepper hollandaise is a triumph of subtlety. Coffeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top notch.

PATISSERIE Where: The Post Office Centre, 30 Rudd Road, Illovo, Joburg Digits: 011 268 0044 This pastry-shop-cum-tea-and-breakfast-spot is a vibrant, elbow-room-only crush of customers picking up hurried snatches of conversation in between forkfuls of the hallmark creamy scrambled eggs. Judiciously seasoned and cooked to within the smallest margins of error, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a revelation of the zen necessary to perfect simplicity. In the bakery, knots of slack-jawed sweet tooths ogle the array of baked temptations with almost lascivious intent. The golden crisp flakes of the croissants give way to a multilayered buttery heart. Fully ripe, the deeply ruby, succulently sunsweet-tart tomato served as a garnish to the breakfasts is a salutary lesson in the importance of attention to detail. Chocolate brownies to die for.

MOEMAS Where: Parktown Quarter, Cnr Third and Seventh avenues, Parktown North, Joburg Digits: 011 788 7725 A range of mouthwatering baked goods, including beautiful brioche and strawberry and parmesan tartlets, seduce passers-by with a sandblasted request on the shop-front window:â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drool on our glass, please.â&#x20AC;? The experience is elevated to sublime by the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special â&#x20AC;&#x201D; designer baked beans, sausage and egg on toast. But this is no mere breakfast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifestyleâ&#x20AC;?, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s billed as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bean and chorizo cassoulet served with toasted ciabattaâ&#x20AC;?. The beans are perfectly cooked â&#x20AC;&#x201D; firm, not mushy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the bold thyme and chorizo-infused tomato sauce with a hint of chili is a masterstroke of balanced seasoning. The poached egg is top of the heap. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave without buying half a dozen of the marshmallows.

ANNICAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DELI IN THE MICHELANGELO TOWERS Where: 8 Maude Street, Sandton, Joburg Digits: 011 884 9445 The menu is concise, the descriptions alluringly bereft of superlative adjectives. But it is the column of numbers running down the right-hand side of the menu that demands attention: breakfasts seldom hit the R60 mark. The dĂŠcorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s striking, with sumptuous pastries and cakes, brioche, and freshly baked scones and croissants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eggs hollandaiseâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;eggs caviarâ&#x20AC;? are both recommended. The cheese cakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sublime.

BOTTEGA Where: Fourth Avenue, Parkhurst, Joburg Digits: 011 447 4448 The Pui Grande (haloumi, fried tomato, fried eggs, minute steak, bacon and sausage) is beyond excellent. The Jungle Oats (with sliced banana, roasted almonds, honey and lowfat milk) is perfectly cooked. The croissant topped with smoked salmon trout, cottage cheese, Peppadews and dill is worth coveting. The full-bodied double espresso is topped with a luxuriant cream. Have the Al Capone (stacked flapjacks with maple syrup, mascarpone and bacon), before a shave at Bottegaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roma-Paris barbershop next door.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122; // Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warming up, throw some parmesan cheese on the slice, or slices, of leftover pizza. Place the pizza on some tinfoil and put it in

the oven for a few minutes. Let it cook till the cheeses start to bubble and pop. While the pizzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the oven, fry some bacon. When done, remove from stove and crumble. Wipe pan and crack an egg. Sunny side up. Throw bacon then egg on the pizza. Drizzle with your best olive oil.

THRUPPS Where: Cnr Oxford and Rudd roads, Illovo, Joburg Digits: 011 268 0298 Order the traditional breakfast. Coffee is good, juice squeezed to order. The thick rashers of Thrupps bacon edged with crisp fat are in a class of their own and pork, not the usual mealy-mouthed wheat-bran â&#x20AC;&#x153;fillerâ&#x20AC;?, gets top marks. Though not the victor ludorum of its school, the kipperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to have to trawl Glasgowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly deserted shipyards for a job. The well-seasoned tomato, grilled under a salamander and not on a flat-top grill, more than keeps its end of the bargain.

Boots.

HIGH KICK: Those neon spikes on footballersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shoes werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only design standout when it came to footwear at the football fest. Whatever your favourite team, invest in a memento of their sporting prowess with a beaded version of their boots, like this Brazil one (Art Africa, R660 for a pair)

COOK OUT: Making the most of the outdoors is part and parcel of the South African lifestyle. Why not continue that tradition when you go back home by taking with you the Shiny Happy People recipe book by Neil Roake (The Space, R320) for great recipes and cocktails from the people of the south

RHYTHM NATION: We march to a different beat down here in South Africa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a more animated, throbbing and energetic sound attuned to living beneath the African sun. That soundscape is well captured in CDs like Marimba Magic and Drummers from Mother Africa (Musica, R120 each)
