If there's one thing we know about South Africa, it's that our passion for rugby runs as deep as a Springbok scrum. Whether it's a weekend game or a lengthy conversation about that last-minute try, we live and breathe the sport. This year, Siviwe ‘Shakes’ Soyizwapi has been a powerhouse on the field, giving us every reason to celebrate the game. In the world of rugby success, it’s not just about the strong tackles and hard hits – it’s the grit, determination, and commitment that make legends like Shakes. However, reaching the top requires not only muscle but also the right gear to support your game. Looking to up your game this Christmas? Shakes has put together the perfect wish list to help you make 2024 your best year yet!   Power meets stability   A good rugby game relies on the ability to make explosive moves – whether quick direction changes or tough tackles – stability is key.

When Mama Liza Lazarides arrived in Pretoria, she had no idea that the traditions she was passing down to her sons would one day inspire one of South Africa’s most beloved restaurants—Ocean Basket. Now, as she celebrates her 90th birthday, it’s the perfect moment to look back on a life filled with love, food, and family.  For many immigrant families, the kitchen is the heart of their new home. It’s where generations gather, stories are shared, and culture is kept alive. From the moment she set foot in South Africa, Mama Liza began filling her kitchen with the flavours of her Greek homeland. Her recipes were simple but made with care, and the Lazarides kitchen became a place where anyone who walked through the door was treated like family. Her sons, Fats and George, grew up in that kitchen.  Those early lessons became the foundation for Ocean Basket, which opened its doors in 1995 as a small seafood restaurant in Pretoria. Fats and George were guided by their mother’s philosophy that the love you put into food is what people remember. Upon opening their doors, Mama Liza wasn’t just a quiet inspiration behind the scenes—she rolled up her sleeves alongside her sons, preparing everything from dishes and desserts to table settings. The restaurant was an extension of her family table, where every meal was a moment to share and savour. It wasn’t long before Ocean Basket became a household name, not just for its food but for the experience it created. Today, Ocean Basket has grown to over 200 locations across 16 countries, from Mauritius to Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan to Cyprus. Yet, no matter how far the journey took them, the brand's heart has remained unchanged. Each restaurant reflects Mama Liza’s belief that food is a universal language of love and community—and her signature baklava still graces menus as a sweet nod to the traditions that started it all. When guests sit down to a meal at Ocean Basket today, they share a story that began with the community. It’s a reminder that some of life’s greatest legacies come from the simplest places: a shared table, a family’s dream, and the love that ties it all together.

We all know how important water is for our health, but between the plastic bottles leaching out hormones and polluting the planet, and the chemicals added to tap water, how pure is the H2O you’re consuming? Water experts agree that tap water is lacking and that pure spring water is much healthier, but very few of us have access to a fresh spring. Introducing  MAYU Swirl Structured Water Carafe  – the answer to revitalising ordinary water and becoming truly hydrated.  The beautifully crafted MAYU Swirl optimises the low hydrating absorption of tap, filtered or bottled water. It restores the natural properties and structure of drinking water to its sweet taste and smooth texture. Drinking revitalised water leads to better hydration, which helps to avoid dry skin, improves sleep, and prevents headaches caused by dehydration.    Using Innovative Vortex Technology, the swirling motion system set in the stylish handblown glass carafe creates a swirling whirlpool that naturally aerates the water, replenishes dissolved oxygen & balances pH levels to structure and improve hydration. The pure porcelain base, available in Grey or Earth tone, is the vortex generator. It uses solid-state load cells that sense the presence of the carafe to begin the swirling motion automatically.   You can swirl tap or mineral water, and even add minerals or fruit. Several sommeliers have also tested the MAYU successfully to aerate wine! It will smoothen and open up wine which would normally take longer to happen in a conventional decanter.    The state-of-the-art porcelain base has been handmade from pure Jingdezhen porcelain for clarity and durability. Using a 100% natural mineral colourant, the swirling pattern is unique to each base and was inspired by riverbed pebbles. Unequalled in beauty, the MAYU Swirl elevates any setting with everlasting elegance – a stylish addition to any dinner table!   Motivated by a simple question "What type of water is best for my baby?", two friends set off on a mission to discover the highest quality of water, resulting in the founding of MAYU in 2018. Their purpose was distinct: they wanted to change the water industry and make it easier for people to stay hydrated without impacting the environment. An assembly of worldwide specialists in chemistry, engineering, culinary and design united with them to realize their vision of a water cycle revolution. Through using time-honoured knowledge of nature in tandem with cutting-edge technology, MAYU is leading the path for a novel epoch of water excellence, and MAYU Swirl is now available in South Africa.  MAYU SWIRL Structured Water Carafe - available in GRAYSTONE or EARTH  - R4,999.00 The Ultimate Hydration Solution to Enhance Drinking Water Quality. The whirlpool motion recaptures lost vitality by allowing oxygen to balance and alkalize your water 6,000 times faster. Drink Enhanced Structured Water: Like drinking from a flowing river, the swirling motion system set in the pitcher naturally aerates the water, replenishes dissolved oxygen & balances pH levels to structure & improve the hydration experience.  Make Your Own Alkaline Water: Using reverse osmosis filtration, filtered or distilled tap water - the swirl maker in the device positively enhances the physical and chemical characteristics and structure of your drinking water.  Hand-blown Container Glass Carafe 1.5L: Lightweight and crystal clear vase dispenser. Grade-A tempered borosilicate, dishwasher safe, with a food-grade silicone seal. Zero plastic!  Innovative Vortex Technology: The pure porcelain base is the vortex generator. It uses solid-state load cells that sense the presence of the carafe in order to begin the swirling motion automatically. When the base is charged, enjoy up to 6 hours of wireless use.  The Most Unique Gift: Mayu Swirl Dispenser comes in a beautiful box that includes: a 51oz .5 litre 0.40 gallon Glass Carafe, Vortex generator base, with a rechargeable li-ion battery+ USB Type C charger | Power: 5V-1   The MAYU SWIRL Structured Water Carafe is available at https://www.luxehub.co.za/range-of-mayu/  and Takealot.  For more information visit  https://mayuwater.com Follow:  https://www.instagram.com/Luxehubsa/

As the sun dipped below Cape Town’s iconic Clifton coastline, a sold-out crowd of 6,000 local and visiting festivalgoers gathered to witness a spectacular “Sunset Sync” show that cast a golden glow over the Corona Sunset Festival World Tour. Returning to South Africa for the weekend, the festival offered two days of music, relaxation, and a celebration of nature. Against the stunning coastal backdrop, attendees were treated to standout performances from top artists, including international DJs Nightmares on Wax (UK), Tsha (UK), and MoBlack (Italy), along with local stars Sun-El Musician and Bantwanas. The event concluded with a breathtaking fireworks display from the iconic main stage, recognizable by its massive Mandala symbol. "Performing in South Africa, with its profound house music legacy, energized crowd, and beautiful setting, was an incredible experience here in Cape Town," ; said MoBlack. A global music and lifestyle touring festival blending music, mindfulness, and environmental awareness, the Corona Sunsets Festival World Tour follows the sunset worldwide and features festivals with international musicians and DJs performing as the sunset takes centre stage at iconic beach destinations across the globe. The tour launched globally in Cape Town in 2023, transforming Clifton into a stage for both local and international talent to connect with nature and an energized crowd. A one-of-a-kind experience, the festival not only gave festival goers a front-row seat to one of the world’s most breathtaking sunsets but, under the “More Than Music” banner, connected outdoor celebration with mindful living and environmental awareness. From the moment festival-goers stepped onto the grounds, they were greeted by acclaimed South African artist Daniel Popper’s monumental sculpture, “Nature’s Goddess,” a compelling symbol of humanity’s connection to nature. A powerful opening ceremony, meanwhile, was led by poet Siphokazi Jonas along with a symbolic stone-casting ritual with spiritual healer Nkosenathi Koela. In addition to music performances, the event immersed festivalgoers in a range of immersive experiences including organic cuisine using locally sourced ingredients, yoga and meditation sessions as well as ocean conservation art installations, encouraging festivalgoers to unwind and enjoy nature. On day two of the festival, attendees gathered for Corona Sunsets Unwind at The Lawns in Camps Bay, for a wellness experience promoting relaxation and reconnection with nature, including guided walks, yoga, ice baths and meditation. A downtempo silent disco headlined by Ibiza resident DJ, Nightmares on Wax, provided a mellow yet vibrant sunset experience to end the festival weekend. “The Corona Sunsets Festival celebrates life’s simple, powerful moments – reconnecting with nature and mindfulness. Cape Town’s coastline perfectly showcased our commitment to sustainability, offering an escape from daily life,” said Melanie Nicholson, Head of Brand for Corona South Africa. The Corona Sunsets Festival World Tour continues its journey, promoting environmental awareness, wellness and relaxation around the world. Join the movement with #ThisIsLiving and #CoronaSunsets.

THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE ICONIC BRAND AND ARTIST - BISQUIT & DUBOUCHE AND KWESTA IS KICKING UP A GEAR WITH A NEW INITIATIVE TO EMPOWER THE NEXT WAVE OF PIONEERING SPIRITS. Following a successful partnership which saw Bisquit and Dubouché demonstrate their commitment to those who forge their paths to success by putting legendary musician, Kwesta, on centre stage for the launch of their global ‘Story to Sip’ campaign last year, the two icons are continuing their journey of collaboration in 2024 with an initiative born from their shared values of paving the way for a new generation of creative innovators to rise, and share their unique stories with the world. This vision is being realised with the creation of a new creative production facility, set to launch in October. The space will feature a world-class recording studio, podcast creation facilities and a networking lounge.  Motivated by his own humble beginnings, having recorded his first tracks on a makeshift home setup, Kwesta has always dreamed of creating a space where young creators have access to professional facilities that allow them to push themselves and their craft further from the outset. Speaking passionately, Kwesta reflected, “I’ll never forget how hard the hustle was when I was coming up, and now that I’ve made a mark of my own, my motivation to give back continues to grow. I don’t only want my story to be an inspiration to other people but find ways to uplift and empower the young creators out there to work with like-minded people and the tools they need to push the craft. Creatives need a safe space to innovate, follow their instincts and forge new paths within the industry.” Ryan George, Marketing Manager B&D South Africa, “It was a natural progression of our relationship with Kwesta for B&D to get involved in the creation of a space that brings life to the essence of what we stand for. We’re committed to upholding the pioneering spirit of our founders and their innovative approach to distillation that changed the history of Cognac, and believe that the founding of this production hub as a community centre will give young pioneers in music and content creation to do the same” One of the first projects to come out of the studio will be a new podcast hosted by Kwesta, celebrating the next generation of innovators within the South African music industry as they share their stories in an intimate one on one setting. “Storytelling is an incredibly powerful part of our culture. It not only shines a light on the amazing talent out there doing their thing, but also gives listeners the opportunity to be inspired and learn what it takes to overcome adversity, forge a path of their own, and bring their unique voice to the scene. For me, working with B&D to make a mark within the South African music industry is a dream come true. We hope that through the podcast and the amazing things that come out of the studio, we can leave a legacy that keeps the flame of creativity and innovation alive for generations to come” said Kwesta. While hard at work on the production studio and new podcast, Kwesta has also been in the studio working on his new album. Set to launch this October 2024, the new album titled The Big Brother Theory features a number of top-drawer artists including Nkosazana Daughter, Black Diamond and Yanga. Listen out for a special mention of Bisquit and Dubouché in the single “Joy”. Bisquit & Dubouché offers V.S. (Very Special), V.S.O.P. (Very Special Old Pale) and X.O. (Extra Aged, characterised by aromatic intensity, smoothness and superior ageing potential) - each with distinctive features linked to the signature distillation process based on the long cut method which relies on the skill of those who make it. All 3 cognacs are available in leading retailers nationwide including Norman Goodfellows, PnP Liquor, Spar Tops, Checkers Liquor and online stores.  Visit the Bisquit & Dubouché Website or Social Media Pages for more details.

When it comes to style, World Sports Betting Western Province left-arm pacer, Beuran Hendricks, knows exactly what he likes - and what he doesn’t. With a look that’s both laid-back and purposeful, Hendricks’s wardrobe blends everyday comfort with touches of sophistication, making him stand out off the field as much as he does on it. For Beuran, the foundation of his style is simplicity. How would you describe your fashion style off the field? My style off the field is pretty simple. On a day to day, it’s an oversized T, pants and sneakers. When it’s time to play dress up I like to keep things monochrome. If you could steal any athlete’s style, whose would it be? One closet I would raid is David Beckham. His style is timeless. What’s that one fashion trend you can’t get on board in with? A fashion trend I can’t get on board with is man bags. I tried it for a bit but it becomes a nuisance and impractical. What are the 3 best items in your closet? Three things I don’t leave the house without is my cologne (I enjoy smelling great). My chains which have sentimental value and my glasses. Which brands have you or wish to collaborate with? I haven’t collaborated with any brands but if I had to collaborate with any brand it would be Essentials (FG). I enjoy their approach to street style and their monochrome looks. If you were to wear one colour for the rest of your life, which colour would it be? Straight-up nude brown. I think it’s a colour you can match with anything. If someone threw a yellow sneaker into the equation you’d be able to style it with a nude brown. Who inspires your style? Someone that’s inspired me recently is Kanye West. I’ve slowly been incorporating he’s style into my closet. So with a day-to-day of Ye and an evening style of Beckham, you can’t go wrong. As Hendricks continues to evolve his style off the field, he and his Western Province teammates are also shifting focus back to the 4-Day Series. After coming close to a T20 Challenge final, falling just short in the second qualifier, Western Province is determined to carry that momentum forward. With the 4-Day Series kicking off this week, Hendricks will be looking to make his mark in both style and performance. For him, fashion isn’t about making bold statements or following every trend—it’s about comfort, confidence, and staying true to himself.

Clover, a brand synonymous with quality and care in South African homes, is proud to announce its continued partnership with PinkDrive during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October 2024). This partnership reflects Clover’s commitment to supporting vital social causes and promoting health and wellness across the country. Clover Goes Pink in Solidarity with Breast Cancer Awareness Month In October, Clover will once again "Go Pink" marking its ongoing dedication to breast cancer awareness. For every Pink Clover product sold, 20 cents will be donated to PinkDrive, a leading organisation providing essential cancer screening services, particularly in underserved communities. “At Clover, we believe in the power of community and supporting the causes that matter most,” says Jani Menikou, Business Unit Head of Dairy at Clover. “By partnering with PinkDrive, we’re ensuring that more women across South Africa have access to life-saving early detection screenings, a critical step in the fight against breast cancer.” Expanding Our Contribution This year, Clover is expanding its range of participating products in the PinkDrive campaign, aiming to surpass last year’s donation of R400 000.00 to breast cancer initiatives. Clover hopes to make an even greater impact by offering more opportunities for consumers to contribute. “We’re excited to see the growth of this initiative and the difference it’s making. It’s not just about awareness, but action. Every Pink Clover product purchased directly funds PinkDrive’s mobile units, bringing cancer screenings to those who need it most,” adds Jani. A Century of Trust, A Future of Support As Clover celebrates its 125th anniversary, the brand reflects on a legacy built on trust and care. While the milestone is significant, Clover’s focus remains firmly on the future—continuing to serve communities through initiatives like this, with a vision of making a lasting difference. Early Detection Saves Lives Breast cancer affects countless lives, but early detection improves outcomes dramatically. PinkDrive’s mobile screening units, supported by Clover’s campaign, play a critical role in making screenings accessible, especially in underserved areas. The message is simple: When it comes to cancer, the earlier the detection, the better the news. Early screenings can mean the difference between a life-changing diagnosis or a life full of opportunities. Join the Fight – Support the Cause Clover encourages consumers to purchase Pink Clover products throughout October and be part of this life-saving initiative. Every purchase makes a direct contribution to providing cancer screening services for women in underserved communities.
