This makes the 2016 edition the 22nd main August festival episode. (There were also several smaller supremely inelegant weekend events.) Having started in the small bar to around 400 people with Valiant and Koos, no one realised that this was just the tip of the icebox. OppiKoppi now hosts seven fixed stages (and a few roving pieces of craziness), roughly 160 sets of music and entertainment, 20 000 rabid fans and more bed nights in the hotels than all of Sun City. (Trust in the tunes, they said. And it worked.). So for all the fans and members of the extended OppiKoppi family, a massive thank you for driving this movement with us. Also have a look and please submit some of your photos and memories in celebration of this annual South African tune migration to [email protected]. Tickets from R800. 5-7 ZAKITI SKAAP- EN BIERFEES.

Sink verken hoe drie mense, uit agtergronde wat aansienlik van mekaar verskil, leer om verlies te hanteer en ’n manier te vind om mekaar te help om hulle pyn te verwerk. Sink is ’n eietydse drama wat die temas van verstrikking, verlies en vergifnis ontgin, teen die agtergrond van die huidige Suid-Afrikaanse klassestruktuur en die ervarings van buitelanders in die land. Rachel (Shoki Mokgapa), ’n Mosambiekse huiswerker en ma wat in Johannesburg woon, moet die verlies van haar kind en die bitterheid teenoor die mense wat vir die kind se dood verantwoordelik was, hanteer. Sy word verplig om ’n lewensveranderende besluit te neem. Michelle (Anel Alexander), is ’n vrou wat die koms van haar eerste kind en die skuldgevoelens oor haar betrokkenheid by die dood van iemand anders se kind, moet probeer verwerk. Chris (Jacques Bessenger), is ’n man wat worstel met dieselfde gevoelens as sy vrou, Michelle, maar ook probeer om ’n verhouding met ’n kollega, wat sy huwelik bedreig, te verstaan. Die twee vroue word vasgevang in ’n huis waar die een die werkgewer en die ander een die bediende is. Chris bevind hom in die middel en probeer om ewe veel empatie vir sy vrou sowel as sy huiswerker te hê. Die fliek is vir nege kykNET Silwerskermfeestoekennings benoem en het vyf daarvan gewen, wat Beste Draaiboek, Beste Redigering, Beste Klankbaan, Beste Kinematografie en Beste Aktrise – vir Shoki Mokgapa – ingesluit het en ook uitstekend by die loket gevaar. Die fliek maak vanjaar ook ’n paar draaie by internasionale filmfeeste en was een van die amptelike keuses vir die 40ste Atlanta-filmfees. LUISTER MY HART IS IN‘N TAAL READ 4X4 TRAVEL GUIDE: EASTERN AFRICA Many excursions into neighbouring countries with her husband have led to this handy guide by Maureen Day. If you intend going into Africa as per the advice of Kingsley Holgate in this issue’s travel section and Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia are on your itinerary, this is an invaluable handbook for the novice as well as experienced 4x4 explorer to these less-travelled, but hugely rewarding parts of our continent. Introductory chapters give detailed general information and guidance on itineraries, what to take, potential costs, fuel availability, road conditions, security issues, requisite documentation, medical precautions, checklists, bush recipes and more. This is followed by descriptions of the routes traversed by the author and her party through six countries. Route maps and detailed, sensible advice equip future travellers with all the necessary information required to plan and carry out a troublefree trip through the region. With this guide in your 4x4 exploring East Africa should be a breeze. (Penguin RandomHouse Struik) Sedert Refentse Morake in 2015 in sy matriekjaar in Vereeniging op straat raakgesien is deur ‘n verbyganger en sy videos van Refentse se informele straatoptredes op You Tube gelaai het, het hy oornag ‘n internet- en sosialemediasensasie geword, op nasionale televisie verskyn en by verskeie kunstefeeste opgetree. Nou is dié eerstejaarregsstudent met die pragtige Afrikaans se eerste album op die rakke. Met My Hart Bly In ‘n Taal bring Refentse hulde aan verskeie ikoniese en klassieke liedjies en sangers op die Afrikaanse musiektoneel. Sy vertolkings van onder meer Johannes Kerkorrel se Halala Afrika, Koos Kombuis se Bicycle Sonder ‘n Slot en Valiant Swart se Sonvanger gaan beslis sy bewonderaarsbasis nog meer laat groei. Die album bevat ook volkstreffers soos Ou Ryperd en Blommetjie Gedenk Aan My en twee medleys, een van Laurika Rauch en die ander van Koos du Plessis, wat sy stem uitstekend pas. Daar wag beslis ‘n blink toekoms op hom en hopelik sal Refentse se volgende album net uit oorspronlike nuwe Afrikaanse liedjies bestaan. 4 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg August 16 WATCH BROOKLYN This Irish-British-Canadian drama tells the story of a young Irish woman’s immigration to Brooklyn, where she quickly falls into a romance. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within them for her. In 1951, Eilis Lacey is a young woman from a small town in southeast Ireland, where she lives with her mother and sister Rose. Unable to find employment, her sister writes to an Irish priest in Brooklyn who arranges for Ellis to go to the US to find a better future. In Brooklyn, Ellis lives in a boarding house and finds a job at a department store, but she is shy and quiet when interacting with customers Letters from her sister make her homesick. The priest visits and tries to help Ellis by enrolling her in bookkeeping classes. At a dance she meets Tony Fiorello, who becomes her boyfriend. When her sister dies suddenly of an undisclosed illness, Eilis returns home for a visit. Tony insists that they must get married first without telling family or friends and she does. In Ireland, everybody seems to be conspiring to keep Eilis from leaving. She goes on dates with an eligible and well-off bachelor, Jim Farrell, who she starts having a connection with. Eilis starts to feel that she now has a future in Ireland and stops opening the letters she receives from Tony. Her former employer finds out of her marriage to Tony and Ellis is reminded of what life is like in such a small town. She informs her mother of her marriage and leaves for Brooklyn the next day, for a new future. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay and stars Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson, Jim Broadbent, and Julie Walters. LISTEN HANDFUL OF RAIN The country’s longest- standing rock and blues band of more than three decades, Jack Hammer, has just released its first new album in eight years, and if fans and critics’ reactions are anything to go by, the long wait was worthwhile. Guitar and keys player and vocal artist Piet Botha’s harmonica is present throughout the album, and the style is familiar, “lingering long after, like a renegade’s signature tune in an old western.” one critic waxed lyrical. The timbre in Piet’s singing is full of longing and resistance. Jack Hammer also consists of Johnathan Martin (guitars, vocals), Tertius du Plessis (bass) and Paul van de Waal (drums), who for this album teamed up with guest artists Arthur Dennis (guitars, vocals) and Rudolph Dennis (drums, guest vocals) from Akkedis/Lyzyrd Kyngs. The title track, That’s How We Roll, which echoes Neil Young, and a haunting cover of Four Jacks and Jill’s Master Jack are just three highligths on the nine-track album. The hair-raising harmonies of Emily and Where Is the Clown are clear reminders of why Jack Hammer is at its best when Piet Botha and Johnathan Martin come together. Said one critic: “Handful of Rain can best be summed up in Sweet Soul Music, Piet Botha’s collaboration with the Soweto String Quartet: violins, harmonica and electric guitars join on a song about rivers turning into seas, about songs turning our solitude into a universe of connected souls: ‘Keep the music in your heart / You will never walk alone.’ LEES MISHANDEL, MISBRUIK, MISKEN Bekroonde vryskutjoernalis en skrywer van niefiksieboeke, Carla van der Spuy het vir hierdie boek die lewe van Amor van der Westhuyzen, dogter van dié Joey Haarhoff, wat saam met die pedofiel Gert van Rooyen ses jong meisies ontvoer het en vir een van die tergendste misdaadraaisels nog in Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis verantwoordelik was, op sensitiewe, maar treffende wyse blootgelê. Dis die verhaal van Joey se fisieke, verbale en emosionele mishandeling van haar eie dogter, wat boonop ook seksuele misbruik deur Amor se eie pa toegelaat het. Joey, die beheervraat, wou vir dekades lank haar dogter se lewe manipuleer en oorheers. Sy wou selfs by geleentheid dat Amor met Gert van Rooyen trou. Gelukkig is daar ’n positiewe einde vir hierdie traumatiese storie. Amor het die trauma, danksy pure vasberadenheid, oorleef. Sy is ’n diep gelowige mens wat die siklus van haat en geweld kon stopsit en sy wil nou dieselfde doen vir ander vroue wat deur hul naastes verniel is. Danksy haar geloof, sielkundige behandeling, wilskrag en die groot omgee van haar man, het Amor geleer hoe om liefde te gee en te aanvaar. Dit is hoegenaamd nie ’n maklike boek nie, maar die leser kan dit toemaak met hoop in die hart. Ook in Engels beskikbaar as Battered, Abused, Shamed (Lapa).

Both ladies from head to toe with philantropic hearts and souls, they are proud ambassadors of our town and for the country. 14 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg August 16 Photo’s: Stoker Studio F ormer Mrs SA 2014 finalist Lorna Greyling (37) is more than ready and excited about where this new adventure will lead her. Behind the groomed appearance is someone who is no stranger to crime and hardship. Her husband Nick was abducted and tortured in Nigeria while on a work assignment there in 2010, and that is why her cause would be a #NOcrime campaign should she wear the crown. “The trauma we went through after his ordeal in Nigeria totally changed our lives. The cost of counselling and medical services was very high and piled up long after. We were lucky, my husband survived, but many families lose their breadwinners, or they are left disabled. It is unfair that law-abiding people have to pay for crime. I am a proud ambassador of Partners in Crime, a wonderful organisation that raises funds to help victims of crime and offers free counselling. It also works closely with business and the police to combat crime positively and proactively.” The Greylings also had to face, among other trials, financial difficulties and retrenchment. “Everything we went through makes more sense when I use it to be an agent of change and to touch the lives of others. Mrs Africa gives me the platform to live my passion and to fulfil my purpose. One person cannot change the world, but one person can make a difference to someone’s life.” She has also just written, composed and released her first song that brings a message of hope to South Africans who face challenges such as crime, unemployment and hopelessness daily. As a mother, wife, owner of a beauty and wellness centre, author of two books, public speaker, image consultant, actress, TV presenter, and part-time gymnastics trainer, how does she keep all the balls in the air? “I am not sure I always do, but good planning and a good support system are invaluable. My husband works away from home often and with three busy girls life is hectic, but it keeps me out of mischief!” she laughs. As a deeply spiritual person Lorna has found a way to reconcile the world of beauty pageants with her faith. “For a long time in my life I felt I was not pretty enough, not slim enough, not good enough. My faith has changed that and I cannot think of a better place to share my testimony than through the pageants.” Over the next few months Lorna will be putting in a lot of hard work to get pageant ready. “When I get on that stage for the finale in November, I will be as ready as I can be to represent Hartbeespoort and South Africa.” queens of substance M rs Africa 2016 wasn’t on the to-do list of Alaine du Rand (28), manager of the Hartbeespoort branch of a national hair and beauty chain this year, but when her area manager nominated her, she decided to go all out for it. “I work in beauty, but bar a few small competitions when I was still at school, this is unfamiliar ground. Making it to the Top 40 delegates has boosted my confidence and I am really excited about the friends I have made and will still make, about the experience and the chance to make a difference,” says Alaine, who studied somatology in Potchefstroom and has only been in Hartbeespoort for a short while, but is already making her mark. “Since I was a little girl standing in front of the mirror, I would wonder what it would be like to be this beauty on a television screen who means something to her community and country. My work in the beauty industry gives me the opportunity to help women feel better about themselves. But I want to be the reason for that impact, not just a treatment. I also want to show South Africans that things are not necessarily as bad as they may seem. There are many countries who are worse off than us and many women worldwide who suffer. Mrs Africa is the ideal vehicle to do it.” That is why she isn’t even sure about what prizes there are up for grabs in the pageant. “I honestly don’t know, I am just honoured to be part. Should I be crowned Mrs Africa, it will be one of my aims to see to it that women receive proper medical attention, especially in rural and underprivileged areas. I am also currently researching ways to help train and guide young people to become future leaders, but my primary function is to give back dignity in whatever form I can.” Alaine, whose unusual name comes from her dad’s misspelling on her birth certificate, has been married to Rudi for four years. She says he and her mother, with whom she has a very close relationship, are her biggest supporters and cheerleaders. “Rudi was surprised that I agreed to enter the competition, but is behind me all the way. My mom is such a blessing, I cannot imagine life without her,” she says. Alaine has also started with a strict exercise regime in the run up to the final. For the next few months, you will find her in the gym, every morning and evening, strutting her stuff. She has also just started a 12-week challenge. Besides work, Alaine is a nature and animal lover and enjoys time in the outdoors, but she can also lose herself in a good book.

And this is solely the work and dream of Alta Lategan, whose love for gymnastics has created many a champion gymnast. I t is not often that one meets a person that oozes happiness and contentment and whose high points in life are life itself. Alta Lategan, one of South Africa’s top gymnastic coaches, is one of these people and talking to her one realises why the gymnasts she coaches reach such heights. Alta has been named the South African Gymnastics Federation’s Coach of the Year in aerobic gymnastics for the past six years and her team has recently competed in the 2016 Aerobic Gymnastics World Championships in Korea. The team will now compete in the 2017 World Games. A coach for more than 30 years and a former South African champion herself, sport has been Alta’s life and there is nothing else she wants to do. “To me gymnastics is a wonderful educational medium. It has so many facets – it teaches perseverance, discipline, how to overcome disappointment and obstacles and finally it gives the gymnast a feeling of achievement. When the gymnast falls off the beam, he or she has to get up and back on and complete the exercise, no matter what. Every exercise is a life lesson and teaches life skills. It is a pure sport where everybody is equal and Alta with her Springbok gymnasts Wilson Mafona, Dominique Mann and Happpy Ledwaba where you come from does not matter. When a gymnast is on the beam, all that matters are the movements and how you do them. Money cannot buy talent. There is no distinction in this sport,” she says. Over 50 South African champion gymnasts have developed under her coaching. “To me it is not just about winning, and I teach the young gymnasts this. For me it is about developing the child’s full potential.” “I do what I love and I am blessed for it!” Alta started coaching gymnastics while still a student. “I stopped competing myself when I was 20 and started coaching instead. I immediately loved it.” After finishing her studies she taught physical education at a school in Brits and started the Brits Gymnastics Club. Now, 25 years later, over 200 gymnasts are being coached here and the club boasts equipment of international standard and has hosted international judging and coaching courses. ‘I am so proud of the club. I never envisaged that it would get so big.” While we talk, a little girl brings her a small bunch of flowers and starts telling Alta about her day. The love and respect of her gymnasts are evident. And her love and respect for them are probably the most important factor motivating them to do their best. Alta travels all over the world with her gymnasts and has visited about 15 countries in the last six years. “We travel about three times a year and although my being away is a bit of a challenge for my family, they support me wholeheartedly.” Not one of her three children is interested in gymnastics. “I think I gave them an overdose,” she laughs. To keep fit herself, Alta and her husband do mountainbiking and she has run three Comrades and cycled two Argus races. Her biggest achievement? “I really cannot single out anything. My gymnasts’ achievements are mine. My ‘moment’ is my life,” she laughs. “I have never said no to a challenge. I know the word ‘yes’ very well. I do what I love and I am blessed for it.” August 16 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg 17 A voice of Meyrand Roux of Meerhof mesmerised the coaches and public alike on stage in The Voice SA on DStv. Although this up-and-coming blues and rock musician didn’t make it past the first knockout rounds, he has won fans for life and his career seems set to reach high notes. N ot a big fan of reality shows, Meyrand, who has been performing at clubs, pubs and gigs to make his mark, was at first a bit apprehensive about entering The Voice SA. “But my wife and biggest supporter, Mari-Louise or MJ as she is known, kept nagging me to enter. So after finishing a gig well after midnight, I stood in the queue early morning with thousands other hopefuls and auditioned. About a month later I heard that I had made it through to the blind auditions,” says the former salesperson and tattoo artist who has been called “an inked-up farm boy” in national media. Meyrand (29), a local boytjie through and through, who went to school in Hartbeespoort before matriculating at Brits High School, started making music at the age of 15, and is self-taught. “Music is my passion and my dream is to make it big as a musician and become respected for my music. I feel I was born to be behind the mic.” He plays the guitar and harmonica and is also a songwriter, who hopes to write for other famous musicians and have his music heard far and wide. But back to The Voice SA. “I cannot even describe how nerve-wracking those blind auditions were. I think the last time I was this nervous was when I was waiting for my wife at the altar, but after a few seconds on stage I decided to treat it as just another gig and relaxed.” And clearly the strategy worked. Meyrand’s rendition of James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s World” made Lira and former school mate, popular Afrikaans singer Bobby van Jaarsveld turn their chairs within the first few lines. Lira’s comment was: “Your voice is The duet performed U2’s Beautiful Day, but it was Meyrand’s soulful performance that won Lira’s vote, pushing him through to the live shows that were aired from April this year. In the first live The Voice show, Meyrand sang Rodriguez’s classic “Sugarman”, which urged showhost Lungile to exclaim: “My brother, you are born for this!” and his coach, Lira to swoon: “You are my sugarman!” However, the competition was very stiff and unfortunately Meyrand was not saved for another live performance, but he has not regretted entering as things have been looking up big time for him. “The show was very hard work; the glitz and glamour you see on the television screen tell you nothing of the hours we put in behind the scenes. In the time leading up to the battle rounds we worked from morning till late at night, training, doing interviews, learning how to perform and just basically honing our musical skills with the professionals. It was a great experience. I learned so much about performing, music and stage presence and definitely walked off that stage a better musician.” Follow his career and gigs on his Facebook fan page. “The Voice was a great experience.

In the battle round Meyrand was up against team mate Lendel Moonsammy.

Internationally-renowned Corina Tettinger of the US and author of every beadmaker’s Bible, Passing the Flame, recently visited South Africa to teach techniques such as basic shaping, creating patterns, poling, twisting and raking dots in Pretoria. Get It caught up with her to learn more about her burning passion. What is glass beading or lampwork? Lampwork, otherwise known as beadmaking, is a type of glasswork where a torch or lamp is used to melt glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fuelled lamps. When did you start doing lampwork? It started by accident really, with a library book on beads that triggered my interest. That was about 15 years ago. My ex-husband bought me some tools and I started out in our garage. After I attended my first class, the instructor said I had talent and should continue. I took a couple more classes, but nowadays I am the one who teaches others. 26 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits August 16 Winter tipples What is it about beading that attracts you? I had done some work in clay and silver before, but with beads there is instant gratification. I am still fascinated by the flame. You start off with a solid substance; it melts and turns solid again. You are able to control it and can make the most beautiful things with glass. What inspires your designs? The colours and patterns in nature inspire most of my designs. Rainforest beads and frogs count among my favourite beads to make. Can anyone do beading? Yes, most people can learn the basics in one day. You will quickly see if it is for you. All you need is patience and practice. A common mistake many people make is to expect too much too soon. It takes time to learn all the skills. Start with the basics, master them and build up from there. What is the longest time you have spent on one bead? About two hours, with one hour’s preparation beforehand. Do you need special tools? Yes, there are certain tools that are essential for shaping and finishing. I use copper tools that are specially made for me. You can buy the basic tools from bead shops or online. Why do you teach and how often do you travel internationally? Unfortunately it is not possible to make a living out of making and selling beads alone, as there is a huge gap between what people see and are prepared to pay, compared to the amount of work you put into each piece. I do about six to seven workshops annually, one of which is at an overseas destination. I only teach small groups of maximum five people at a time. For more information, visit Corina’s website, www. corinabeads.com. Johan de Lange of Glass & Fire invited Corina to present her workshop in South Africa this year and also presents his own workshops from time to time. Glass & Fire is an exclusive beadmaking supply store in Pretoria that specialises in glass rods, tools and equipment for making glass beads and features an online shop.

Container gardening is not only water-wise, but also less labourintensive and you can have a garden in an instant! C ontainer gardening is not just fun, the possibilities are endless—all you need is some imagination, pots, potting soil, plants and fertiliser. It is less labourintensive than tending to a garden and you can let your creativity run free with potted plants — minus all the weeding. There are however a few things you should consider before you start planting. 28 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg August 16 Assess Your sun The first thing you should do is determine how much direct sun your containers will get. This will determine what you plant in them. Making sure a plant has the amount of sun it requires to thrive is critical for any container garden. Choose A ContAiner KeeP them Alive Truly anything at all can be turned into a container. The more soil there is, the easier nutrients and water are retained and delivered to your plants and the less frequently you will have to water. Small pots dry out really fast. When choosing a container, make sure it has enough drainage or that you can add drainage holes. Choose PlAnts The size of the pot plays an important role. Choose plants that are in proportion to your pot. Try to have at least one plant that is at least as tall as the pot it is in. Short plants look good in a wide, shallow container. If your area gets at least six hours of direct sun, you can choose plants for “full sun.” If your area gets three to six hours of direct sun each day, choose plants for “partial sun/partial shade.” If your area gets less than three hours of direct sun each day, choose plants for, “shade.” How much care am I willing to give? If you do not want to spend time in the garden on a daily basis, rather look for easy care plants that are drought tolerant. You nursery will advise you. as in its nursery pot. Also ensure there are no air pockets and your plant’s roots are surrounded by soil. Roots in an air pocket will dry out and the plant will die. Feel around the plant and stuff soil into any holes you feel. Water after planting to settle the soil. Fill in any holes or depressions with extra soil. After establishing your container garden, keep your plants alive! You can kill plants with too much or too little water. As a rule, your soil should be kept damp, not wet. To determine this, stick your finger into the soil. down to the second knuckle. If your soil feels moist, you probably should wait to water. Be sure to water slowly and make sure the water is going to your plant’s roots and does not run down the sides between the pot and the soil. Water until it starts to run out the bottom of your container. Some plants get all stressed out if you let them dry out and then water them. There are others that don’t mind at all. You can also solve this problem by either using self-watering pots or an automatic drip irrigation system. Container gardening is a very rewarding activity and ideal for impatient gardeners who want instant results. Happy container gardening! PlAnting your gArden There are two main things to know when actually planting. Make sure the plant sits at the same level in the soil Consider growing a vertical vegetable garden in containers. You can easily produce the same amount of fresh vegetables without taking up excess space. A vertical vegetable garden is easy to create. You can create one using shelves, hanging baskets, or trellises. The amount of sunlight will be the greatest factor in determining which plants will thrive. Leafy vegetables like lettuce, cabbage, and greens do well with limited sunlight, making them good choices for shady areas. If you have an abundance of sun, plant tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, beans, carrots, and radishes. Even vine crops, such as squash, pumpkins, and cucumbers can be grown as long as the container is deep enough to accommodate them and proper staking is available. Fill containers with peat moss and a suitable potting mix amended with compost or manure. (Adapted from www.gardeningknowhow.com) August 16 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg 29 About Africa...

Having just embarked on his 22nd expedition with his team from aha Lesedi Cultural Village in Kalkheuvel, tasked with investigating, observing and documenting disappearing cultures and as always supported by Land Rover, The Living Traditions Expedition will take the team on a 7 000 km journey to Central and West Africa, along the shores of Lake Turkana in the Kenyan Rift Valley, the world’s largest desert lake, and the Omo River in South Western Ethiopia, culminating at Lake Chew Bahir, a very remote and unexplored region of Africa. Chew Bahir means Great Salt Ocean and is, according to Kingsley, “a kaleidoscope of vanishing cultures, a wild, but fascinating place associated with Mursi women with big lip plates, the ancient people of the Hamar Mountains and many other incredible cultures.” Essential Africa “There’s always that familiar nervous feeling of anticipation at the beginning of a new adventure. The challenges of visas, money, equipment, first aid, basic food supplies, reference books and maps, letters of authority, GPS, tents, pots and pans, tools, binoculars, cameras, humanitarian supplies – the list seems endless. But most important is a sense of humour, a passion for Mama Africa and that crazy Zen of travel.” One of the biggest pitfalls of travel into Africa, according to Kingsley, is an attitude of arrogance or superiority. “Abide by the ways and rules of the 32 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg August 16 Kingsley Holgate and his expedition received a warm African goodbye at aha Lesedi in Kalkheuvel country you are travelling in. Do as much research about your destination beforehand as possible. Aspects you need to know include travel documentation, what the route looks like, how far apart fuelling points are, etc. “And forget about rushing from point A to point B in a set time. You will become frustrated and you will take out your frustration on locals who don’t deserve it. Remember that old saying, the Swiss may have invented the watch, but it is Mama Africa that keeps the time.” Kingsley says he and his team never bribe. “We always carry a few soccer balls, soccer magazines and T-shirts with us. We have had many favours done on the back of the goodwill we have ‘bought’ with something as simple as a mosquito net or a ball.” A veteran of malaria, having contracted it more than 50 times, malaria prevention is high on the list of Miriam Makeba causes that The Kingsley Holgate Foundation team drives. On every mission they distribute life-saving mosquito nets, along with waterpurification LifeStraws and Rite to Sight spectacles. “Make sure your well-stocked first aid kit contains treatment for malaria. Prevention is better than cure, but you can still contract it and time is of the essence. The other essential item is a broad spectrum antibiotic, especially for tropical ulcers that can go septic in three hours..” Kingsley advises that it helps to have a purpose for your journey and to give it a name. “That helps a lot with planning, packing and charting your route.” With the advances made in technology, such as cellphones, satellite and GPS tracking, the new colonisation with Chinese moving into many African countries and improvements to road infrastructure, the time to rough it may soon be something of the past, so best you start planning your African adventure now.
