4 Wish List We are mad about these June buys LET S TOAST Nothing beats a tumbler of whiskey on the rocks after a long day at the office. Especially if you can sip on a Dalwhinnie 15-year-old single malt whisky. Pure decadence! Expect a smooth, fruity taste with toffee, pear, fruit salad, apple blossom, honeysuckle, juicy nectarine, custard and apple peel scents. Details: R999, CONTOUR MASTER Love contouring? Then you ll love Smashbox s step-bystep contour stick trio. It s been a secret used by beauty insiders for years and now you can finally use it too. The kit consists of three sticks: contour (a darker shade that sculpts by creating shadows), highlight (a light shade that pulls features forward) and bronze (a transition shade that eliminates harsh lines by blending the contour and highlight shades). Say goodbye to blotchy contouring and hello to defined cheekbones and perfectly highlighted jawlines. Details: R630, Woolworths. BEAUTIFUL BURGUNDY Keep the chill at bay with a beautiful yet functional jacket. We just love this gorgeous burgundy Charlie waterfall jacket from Forever New. The buckle details at the cuffs and the beautifully designed collar makes this a unique fashion statement. Pair it with jeans and a T-shirt or your favourite little black dress and boots. Details: R TICK TOCK Inspired by the simplicity of vintage timepieces, the Fossil brand is synonymous with class, style and sophistication. And, with Father s Day around the corner, what better way to celebrate and spoil your dad than with a gorgeous watch. We mean, come on. How beautiful is this Grant watch? Details: R2 999, TREAT YOURSELF Spoil yourself with a taste of locally made waffle rusks. Yes, you read correctly. Ayrshire buttermilk waffle rusks to be exact. Made from free range eggs, these yummy delicacies are made specifically for Woolworths and are perfect to enjoy with hot, steaming coffee, during early mornings in bed with your love. Details: R SNUGGLE Keep the cold at bay with a comfy winter blanket. No matter the colour or texture, just make sure it s as cosy as possible. Something like this black foil knit blanket from Zara. It will keep you nice and toasty and is trendy to boot. Details: R COLOUR ME PRETTY Whether you prefer necklaces, rings or earings, every women needs a few staple pieces when it comes to jewellery. We recently stumbled upon Ayala Bar jewellery and we have to say wow! These beauties contain silver-plated brass and metal alloys, Swarovski crystals, glass beads, ceramic stones and the most beautiful crystal rhinestones. Details: R1 500, BOOT UP No winter wardrobe is complete without a pair of boots. Be the talk of the town when you step out in these gorgeous black ankle boots with lacing from H&M. The zip on the side, covered heels and satin lining gives it that little something extra and we can t wait to get our hands on a pair. Details: R799. CHILL OUT After a long day at the office all we want to do is kick back and relax. Add to that a glass of wine or two and we re in heaven. Kicking back is just so much better with the right rocking chair. We particularly love this gorgeous Gozo rocking chair The chair will add a bit of fun to any room and will perfectly match with clean, neutral elements for a cool yet modern style. What more could a girl want. Details: R Get It Pretoria June 17 June 17 Get It Pretoria 07

5 SPAR Women s Race Pretoria offically opened in style The SPAR Women s Challenge has long been about much more than thousands of ordinary people getting the opportunity to participate in a 10km road race with top athletes and celebrities. The Pretoria leg of this series, also known as the SPAR Women s Race Pretoria, is probably the best example of what can be done if people are willing to work together to help others. That s why this year s theme, #BetterTogether, fits so perfectly. This year, the Pretoria leg of the SPAR Women s Challenge was officially opened with a lavish function at the Capital Menlyn Maine hotel recently. Guests at the event not only got the opportunity to meet the brand ambassadors top athletes who will participate, but everyone was affected in some way by the message behind this year s theme and the possibility it holds of helping less privileged people. Annie Malan and Retha Ingebeek. Daan du Toit, John Wright and Jabulani Kubeka (Supersport Park stadium manager). Hugo Minaar and Tanya Minaar. Cheers to whisky Hundreds of whisky lovers from all over Tshwane flocked to Brooklyn Square recently for the Whisky Live festival. Whisky Live has a reputation for being the largest, liveliest and most exciting whisky tasting lifestyle show of its kind, bringing all the whiskies of the world together under one roof. The premier spirits event showcases some of the world s finest single malts and blends. Not only did attendees have the opportunity to flit (or stumble) from one stall to another to taste peaty Scotch, barrel-fermented American bourbon and the world-famous Irish water of life, but guests also got some insight into the story behind each brand.

6 Dad, hierdie jaar is net vir jou Sy spog eersdaags met n splinternuwe album en is op die Classics is Groot verhoog te sien. Get It se Mariëtte van Niekerk het met Monique Steyn gesels om meer oor haar loopbaan, gunsteling plekke in Pretoria en natuurlik haar nuwe album uit te vind. Sy is beeldskoon, talentvol en haar stem is genoeg om jou na n ander dimensie te verskuif. Ons praat van die Pretorianer Monique Steyn, natuurlik. Haar splinternuwe album is een van die dae op winkelrakke beskikbaar en sy is besig om die laaste los drade vas te knoop voor die album na die produksie fase oorgaan. Aanhangers is gaande oor haar en volg haar in hulle duisende op sosiale media maar het jy geweet dat Monique elke jaar ten minste drie keer van skole verwissel het totdat die gesin uiteindelik, toe sy in graad 6 was, in Pretoria kom nes skrop het? Na skool wou ek eintlik sielkunde gaan studeer maar Floors Oosthuizen, wat saam met my op skool was, het my vertel van hierdie musiekprogram by die destydse Pretoria Tegnikon, vertel Monique waar ons rustig oor n koppie koffie by Tribeca in Lynnwood Bridge gesels. My ouers het ingestem en ek het Ligte Musiek gaan studeer. Sy vertel dat sy toe reeds begin skouer skuur het met bekende name soos Anna Davel en Jo Niemand. Na die voltooiing van haar studies slaan sy n rol as deel van die verhoogproduksie Girl Talk los en trek sak en pak na die goudstad. Van daar het sy by die Barnyard-teater aangesluit en dit was juis tydens een van haar vertonings wat n Afrikaanse musiekmaatskappy haar raakgesien het. Haar eerste album was in die dans-genre en aanhangers kon eenvoudig nie genoeg van haar duet met die sanger Snotkop kry nie. Die album het tientalle toekennings ingeryg en Monique was oornag n sangsensasie. Daarna het sy haar by die bekende groep Vuurwerke, saam met Nicholis Louw, Ray Dylan en Elizma Theron gevoeg en die vierstuks het die een na die ander toekeninng ingeryg. Haar tweede album, Pink Champagne, het ook in hierdie stadium die lig gesien. Anders as met die vorige album wou ek hierdie keer oor my eie persoonlike ervarings skryf en liedjies sing waarin ek glo ek wou die woorde glo, vertel Monique. Na n suksesvolle loopbaan as deel van die Vuurwerke vierstuks besluit Monique egter om die groep te verlaat en weer op haar solo loopbaan te fokus. Nou, drie jaar na die vrystelling van haar Pink Champagne album, het sy weer n splinternuwe album op pad en kan nie wag totdat dit uiteindelik op winkelrakke beskikbaar is nie. Daar is nie een liedjie waarvan ek nie hou nie en nie een liedjie wat nie inpas nie, gesels sy en glimlag breed. Die album is grotendeels deur Johan Oberholzer geskryf. Dit het sowat n jaar en n half geneem om die album aanmekaar te sit en Monique vertel dat dit voel of die musiek werklik hare is. Sy sing ook nou onder haar naam en van, Monique Steyn, n ode aan haar familie. Ek voel ek is meer volwasse as voorheen en was ook baie meer betrokke by die maak van die album in vergelyking met die vorige twee albums, verduidelik die Pretorianer. Haar gunsteling liedjie op die album? Beslis Onder die Invloed. Dit gaan daaroor dat jy so onder die invloed van iemand anders kan wees dat jou hele wêreld van daardie persoon afhang. Om so oorweldig te wees deur iemand anders se liefde dat jy dinge doen wat jy nooit andersins sou doen nie. As n mens jonk is raak n mens verlief op die idee van iemand en nie op die werklike persoon nie. Sy beskryf die album as volwasse kontemporêr en aanhangers kan vir die eerste keer ook uitsien na n paar Christelike liedjies. Dit is my manier om dankie te sê vir al die seëninge wat ek ontvang het, verduidelik die donker skoonheid. Seëninge soos die liefde van haar lewe JP Moggee, wonderlike familie en vriende en ook haar ouers. Sy beskryf haarself as n regte pappa-se-dogterjie en vertel dat haar pa haar gewys het watter tipe man goed genoeg is vir haar. Nie om my ma uit te sluit nie, sy is n baie groot deel van my loopbaan, maar my pa het my geleer om nie kwaadgevoelens oor te hou nie en om by jou morele waardes te bly. Ook om hardlop te lag. Enige spesiale boodskap vir jou pa op Vadersdag? Dad, hierdie jaar is vir jou want jy het van die begin af geglo. Ek weet pappa gaan sê: I told you so, lag Monique. Monique is ook later vandeesmaad op die verhoog in die Classics is Groot konsert by die Moreletapark-auditorium tussen 23 and 24 June. Musiekliefhebbers kan uitsien na groot name soos Amira, Jannie Moolman, Corlea, Touch of Class, Coleske, Joseph Clark, Swing City, Charl du Plessis en die Joburg Ballet Company. Kaartjies is by beskikbaar. Monique se gunstelinge: Wat is jou skoonheidsgeheim? Sonskerm, sonskerm, sonskerm. Ek is nie iemand vir te veel tierlantyntjies nie. Ek maak my vel elke aand skoon, en gebruik natuurlik n bevogtiger. En dan gebruik ek elke dag sonskerm. Gunsteling kos? Sushi by Yamazaki. Wat is jou gunsteling koffiewinkel? Aroma Coffee Roastery. Wat is is als in jou handsak? Hand sanitiser, my beursie, my foon, Ellie Saab parfuum, my motorsleutels en n borsel.

7 Wynand Davel Bradley Cooper Alicia van Dyk Barry Steenkamp It s all about the Mamba Radio Kalahari Orkes has been making music for more than 10 years and fans can t get enough of their alternative music and ways. We re obviously also big fans and caught up with Ian Roberts to find out more about the band s brand new album and the road to success. T he members of Radio Kalahari Orkes are scattered across Pretoria and Johannesburg and after a five year silence they ve finally released a brand new album. They got their unique name from a fictitious radio station they started in the small town of Slangfontein and see themselves as a real-life band that plays the music you hear on the station. Cool right! The band first got together when we had to record a DVD for the song The Crying Shame and fans loved it so much we decided to work on an entire album. I guess it was kind of like a potato that slowly but surely made its way to the surface, says Ian, a singer and actor. The band has changed a lot over the years but the current Radio Kalahari Orkes (RKO) consists of Frizo Woudstra (guitar, lead and rhythm), Wynand Davel (violin), Bradley Cooper (drums), Alicia van Dyk (accordion, recorder and vocals), Barry Steenkamp (base guitar) and Ian Roberts (lead singer). After five years, the group finally released their brand new album, Mamba and fans are ecstatic. We were recording the song Ja Jy in our studio in Slangfontein and were playing around with a few names for the album. We actually had the name of some South African politician in mind but just then this big mamba came through the glassless window and looked straight at us. It got dead quiet in the studio and the voice of the farmer who was on the line with his request echoed through the hanging headphones. After what felt like an hour, the mamba sailed over Bradley s old tekkies and disappeared. We just knew there and then, we needed to call the album Mamba, Ian explains. They released the album independently and Ian says it took some time to raise the necessary money to do so. He describes the album as a mix between some of RKO s old material mixed in with a lot of new material and says it took an entire year to put together. Rian Malan, Dan Roberts and Ian were responsible for writing most of the material on the album and they even roped in the help of Jaco van der Merwe from Bittereinder. The inspiration comes from a place that no one can really understand. It s a gift. The muse only comes to the writer when she wants to and we are always very grateful when she arrives, Ian says. With the band not all being together all the time it can get hard to practice together. We practice where and whenever we can, especially when we re on tour, Ian says. We had to ask: doesn t it get difficult when so many personalities and people have to work together so closely? Look, musicians always have to find a way to make themselves heard. With RKO it s the same. But one thing is certain we stand together on stage. One for all. All for one. There is only one lady in the group. Alicia is the most decent of all of us, except when it comes to politics. She s the editor of the Radio Kalahari news desk. She is highly qualified and got training from Rian Cruywagen. She recently showed her stealth by declaring live on air that sport and politics do not mix. Sport and politics are like paraffin and water. They don t mix. Shame, she said. Their brand new music video for the hit Bobbejaanvlei is also in circulation and was shot based on the paintings by the American artist Norman Rockwell. Look out for Ian s three Bellini guitars that make their debut in the video. The unique guitars were made in Pinetown, Natal during the 60s and 70s. They are made from plywood and have a very interesting sound. They are unique and form a very important part of the history of music in South Africa. I installed pickups and now they are super-duper pudding and pie, Ian says. For now Radio Kalahari Orkes spend about three months of the year on the road touring for their new album. We can t wait to see them live in action in the capital soon. Compiled by: Mariëtte van Niekerk Images: Dan Roberts. 12 Get It Pretoria June17 June 17 Get It Pretoria 13 Ian Roberts Frisco Woudstra

12 Spoil Dad with a veggie planter Have some fun with the kids and make Dad a special Father s Day gift. 3 Next, layer the plastic sheeting inside the built box, ensuring the edges of the sheeting stay within the planter. 5 4 Small holes need to be cut in the base of the sheeting. This needs to be done where there are gaps in the wood, for easy drainage. 6 A dad is a son s first hero and a daughter s first love. He is the one who picks you up, brushes you off and lets you try again. It takes a special someone to be a dad to look up to. What better way to celebrate Dad this Father s Day than by getting him outside in the sunlight with the kids? This planter is a great way to spend Father s Day with the kiddies, getting them to plant yummy veggies and give Dad some extra love! The planter is a perfectly simple gift to give Dad an excuse to take a break from his usual fatherly duties - like hogging the TV remote - and let his green thumbs get to work. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED: - Some wooden planks, as follows: 10 x 54.5cm slats, 6 x 34.5cm slats 4 x 22cm x 3.9cm square wooden batons - Hammer - Nails - Plastic sheeting - Scissors - Drainage stones - Potting mix - Seedling growing mix - Bonemeal - Vegetable seedlings (we used pak choi and baby cabbage) - Tubtrug/bucket or wheelbarrow - Decorative rocks (optional) Then, pour in a 1cm layer of drainage stones on top of the sheeting, to aid drainage. 7 Fill a trug or bucket with potting mix, followed by your choice of seedling growing mix and then some bonemeal for a good source of protein and phosphorous for your plant friends. 8 HERE S WHAT TO DO: 1Before buying wooden planks or cutting them yourself, remember the size of the planks very much depends on what size veggie box you would like to make. Choose seedlings that are appropriate for small-size plantings if you make a smaller sized planter box. Start 2by knocking the pieces of wood together with nails. This should be done very carefully - so Mum and Dad please take the lead here! Leave a few spaces in the bottom for drainage. You will need four long planks at the bottom and three on both the left and the right as side panels. Three shorter planks need to be fastened on both ends to make the end panels. Place one baton in each corner to complete the box and nail that in. Mix this all together and pour the mixture into the planter box, filling it to about three quarters of the way to the top. 9 Get creative and start decorating the planter box with some small rocks, and give the plants a nice water. Finally, it s time to plant! Space the plants out evenly, giving them room to grow. 10 The veggie box is now ready to give to Dad, for the best Father s Day spoil.

15 Because anyone can be a food purveyor When it comes to great places to eat, Pretorians are spoiled for choice. We ve got all the food you can possibly imagine. Yet, from time to time we discover something new - a hidden gem if you will. Something like La Coco C Food Purveyors in Shere. Nestled in the heart of Shere, sits the quaint little restaurant La Coco C Food Purveyors. When you first walk through the door you are transported to a corner café somewhere in Europe. Complete with umbrellas and pots of home-grown herbs in the windowsills. Stacked on the shelves all across the walls are rows upon rows of delicious treats. Jams, sauces, spices, juices, the list goes on and on. Each yummier than the other. Looking at the menu we are spoiled for choice. We can t choose. There s an Acai surprise bowl, pancakes (gluten and diary free), a strawberry biltong salad, even an Italian meatball wrap. Then there are the shots. Yes, shots healthy ones. Think apple cider, vinegar, honey, ginger and cinnamon or ginger, lemon and cayenne pepper. They also serve freshly pressed juices; pressed fresh every morning. And the best part, you can even buy the juice as part of a one or three day detox programme. We re definitely giving it a go. So where did the La Coco C Food Purveyors journey start? For owner Jeanine Claassen, her dream of starting her own business started when she worked as an au pair in America after she finished school. The family I worked for travelled extensively and I was fortunate enough to visit lots of restaurants in places like New York. It was there that I realised I loved food, Jeanine explains. Her love of food led to her making and selling home-made brownies. 28 Get It Pretoria June 17 When I got back to South Africa in 2010, I realised brownies weren t as big here as they were in New York. So I decided to make jars with basic ingredients and sell them. Buyers only had to add milk and eggs and bake them, she adds. It was at that point she stumbled upon a new development and decided there and then she wanted to open a shop there selling brownies. But, it took two years to complete the new centre and in that time her vision for her shop changed to a restaurant with healthy eating options. Each year I try and go back to New York to see what the latest food trends are and I have noticed that South Africans are catching on to the gluten free, vegan lifestyle that is all the craze in the States, Jeanine says. In 2015 she finally opened La Coco C Food Purveyors to the public and it was everything she imagined. Cosy and intimate, where customers become regulars and then become family. It s a place where we know our customers by name, Jeanine says. She s always been a big foodie and says she must have inherited her love of food from her parents. Both love to cook and her dad is a farmer in the Kalahari. I love cooking and on the farm I learnt the importance of quality food. Free range chicken and beef is just so much healthier than when the meat is filled with all kinds of hormones. When it comes to her menu, Jeanine believes the healthier the better. Because we are so small we can buy from the farmers directly and our produce is as fresh as can be. We get products from across the country, even from as far as Vergelegen and Vryburg, Jeanine says. After browsing the shelves we finally sit down to order a chicken burrito bowl and a sweet potato and chickpea coconut curry. We decide to wash it down with a glass of Recharge juice and a Vital Signs smoothie. And, man oh man! Delicous! The portions are big and there is something for every taste. Our menu has something for everyone: bacon and eggs for farmers like my dad who like an old- fashioned breakfast, healthier protein options for the gym junkies and off course, vegan food, the 27-year old entrepreneur says. La Coco C Food Purveyors is a firm favourite among cyclists in the Shere area. They serve the best coffee in town and if you are feeling a bit daring, the Yellow or Beetroot lattes are definitely a must. Oh, and what is coffee or tea without something sweet? Their carrot cake is among the best in the city and if you are looking for a healthier option, they have the most delicious vegan brownies. My hope is that more South Africans will begin to support smaller restaurants and that more entrepreneurs will start smaller businesses. My small business started with brownies, hence the name La Coco C Food Purveyors C is for chocolate. My dream is to inspire others to do the same, she says.
