Seen at this year’s Taste of Cape Town
Extra sparkle at this year’s
Franschhoek Wedding Showcase
A Night of Spanish
song and cuisine
ranschhoek is an ideally romantic setting to celebrate
the most memorable day of
your life. Exquisite views,
world class venues, fine dining and
award-winning wines complete the
package for this special day. A sneak
peek of what can be expected will be
on offer at the inaugural Franschhoek
Wedding Showcase on April 18.
Adding an extra dash of excitement to the day will be the team
from The Pretty Blog who will be
presenting two mini workshops. Entitled “I’m engaged what now?” these
workshops will be the lifeline for
all brides-to-be offering invaluable
advise on organising your perfect
dream wedding. Christine Meintjes,
published wedding photographer
and founder of The Pretty Blog, will
be presenting the workshop together
with The Pretty Blog editor, Toni
Fawzy.
Meintjes has been part of the industry for more than 10 years, and
knows the ins and outs when it
comes to wedding planning. Toni
recently got married and all the organising is still fresh in her mind. Sit
back and take in what they have to
share about the basics of wedding
planning, while giving you a few tips
on how NOT to break the bank.
A trip to the Franschhoek Winelands over this weekend will get your
creative juices flowing as well as add
hype and excitement in preparation for your ‘Big Day’. A selection
of wedding suppliers will be pulling
out all the stops, and include venues,
dresses, cakes, stationary, music, DJ’s,
photographers, wineries and so much
more.
Opera singer Monika Voysey and
Chef Marc Wassung will join forces
on Saturday, April 18, to present an
elegant Spanish themed soirée that
will feature glorious arias and food,
at the Welgemeend Manor House in
Gardens.
Voysey, joined by baritone Riaan Hunter and pianist Adrian
More, will perform popular excerpts
from the operas ‘Carmen’ and ‘Don
Giovanni’, as well as other light
classical pieces.
After tying the knot in 2011, the
creative couple decided to combine
opera and food and take a different
approach by hosting evenings called
Sing For Your Supper that celebrate
music, song and cuisine. Voysey is a
classically trained mezzo-soprano.
She was awarded a scholarship to
study at The Royal College of Music
in Stockholm, where her operatic
training began. When she returned
in 2008, she began developing
a career as a classical singer. She
competed and was twice a finalist in the SAMRO competition, and
was awarded a bursary by The National Arts Council. A Post Graduate
Diploma in Opera at UCT followed,
and she was then offered a prestigious position singing as a soloist
in the Cape Town Opera Studio.
Voysey has a wide classical repertoire, having performed as the
alto soloist in over fifteen Oratorios, including a modern South
African oratorio, ‘Credo’, in which
she appeared as a soloist alongside
Sibongile Khumalo. Voysey also
performed a lead role in NdodanaBreen’s world premiere of ‘Winnie:
The Opera’.

Discover inspiration for that special day
An added attraction to the event
will be the launch of Franschhoek’s
online wedding registry. This allows
the bride and groom to select wedding gifts from Franschhoek specialist shops and wineries.
To allow for a unique showcase a
centralised venue will be set up at Le
Franschhoek Hotel & Spa. Not only
is Franschhoek is the most romantic
wedding destination, but it is also
the perfect weekend getaway. Use
this weekend to relax and unwind,

The Next 48hOURS • What’s Hot
Eternal opera classic ‘La Traviata’
infused with youthful energy
Cape Town Opera will showcase
Verdi’s ‘La Traviata’, the composer’s
romantic story that exposes society’s
double standards when it comes to
sex and money, at the Artscape Opera House from April 30 to May 9.
PETER TROMP called up director
ANGELO GOBBATO, who is helming
the production that features three
different casts of young, exciting
performers.
Tell us about ‘La Traviata’ and
what audiences can look forward
to with your production.
It’s an absolute masterpiece composed by Giuseppe Verdi that contains one glorious melody after
another, based on a very romantic
story that has proved popular for
many, many years. Unsurprisingly,
it is many people’s favourite opera
and it’s a wonderful way to begin
your knowledge of the opera. Our
production puts a very exciting
young cast – in fact three exciting
young casts – to the fore, with students from the University of Cape
Town Opera School and the studio
of Cape Town Opera. They are all
absolutely superb singers, with their
wings spread out, ready to take off
for international careers and I think
the public can really look forward
to some superb music, some lovely
acting and very glorious singing.
Angelo Gobbato
As a director, what excites you
about bringing this opera to life?
Well, it is really one of the greatest Verdi music dramas rather than
an opera, as such. Although it is
absolutely chock and block with
glorious melodies, everything about
the opera is written with a dramatic
motivation and so as a director one
has the challenge of persuading the
young singers to give very intense,
real performances, as opposed to
letting them just stand around and
sing, so it’s a challenge, but it’s very
exciting because one can open so
many new things for these young
singers.
When was the first time you experienced the opera, and what was
your initial reaction to it?
In a sense I was born with opera in
my blood, because I come from Italy. I was born in Milano, the big city
with the famous opera house Teatro
alla Scala and my family was very
musical and involved in music, and I
sort of was immersed in opera from
the time that I was born, but I suppose the first full performance of ‘La
Traviata’ that I experienced was in
Cape Town.
I arrived here when I was about
six years old in the 1950s and in
those days there were travelling European companies that used to give
performances at the Alhambra Theatre, and that was when I first saw
the opera. Shortly after that I saw
an even more exciting production
staged by the famous Eoan Group,
with Vera Gow as a glorious Violetta, and that really made me fall in
love with the piece.
The basic story of ‘La Traviata’ has
proven very popular over the ages,
having been replicated in popular
culture in such movies as ‘Pretty
Woman’ and ‘Moulin Rouge’. What
do you think it is about the story
that has resulted in such longevity
and universal appeal?
The original story was written by
a great French writer, Alexandre
Dumas, who was the son of the
great(emphasis) Alexandre Dumas,
who wrote ‘The Three Musketeers, so
the Dumas family was evidently very
good at writing stories that have
become lasting popular favourites.
The novel ‘The Lady of the Camellias’, which served as the basis for
‘La Traviata’, has got this incredible
ability to touch everybody’s hearts,
and it is especially touching for female audiences, who really identify
with the story of a woman who is
forced to give up her one, true love,
because of her having been involved
with prostitution and this eventually
breaks her heart and she dies. The
fight between the social embargo
on sexual liberty and the true love
of this one woman has remained
eternally a favourite subject.

M
ake no mistake – Belinda Davids is every bit
as exceptional as the
media declares, and as
the press release asserts. In fact, she
is a phenomenon, a real superstar –
to pitch Whitney Houston’s song after song so perfectly all night while
carrying what is quite a demanding
show for one woman, is nothing
short of stupefying. But, methinks
the production company “doth protest too much” regarding the actual
show.
So, clearly, Houston, we have a
problem. In gastronomic terms it
would translate into this: you go to
a restaurant and you order a steak
and it is the best steak you have
ever had. But the baked potato is
half cooked, the veggies are soggy
and even the sauce is bland, letting
that steak down very badly. What do
you do? Wax lyrical about the steak
and not talk about how bad the rest
of the plate was? Or, does one complain about it?
My point is simply this: if you
market the production as a show,
then a show is what you must
give me. I am paying you (a lot of)
money to see something magical.
‘The Greatest Love of All’ is not a
magical production for a few rea-
Belinda Davids in ‘The Greatest Love of All’
sons. For starters, after you have established that Davids is every bit as
good as she is, you start looking for
the “other” things associated with
the show. Case in point, the dancers. Except for the one boy, Nathan
I think his name is, the rest are not
just poor but there is such a visible
scantiness (and I am not even referring to their costumes) that it began to irritate me every time they
made an appearance, distracting me
from watching Davids like someone
standing in front of the television
set while you are watching it.
This is my second time seeing a
Showtime Australia production at
Artscape; the first being a tribute to
Freddie Mercury and Queen. There
too, the production looked cheap,
paltry and untidy, also failing a
troupe of good performers. It is as if
the producers are trying to cut costs
wherever they can.
A show like this needs all the bells
‘n whistles. And were it not for Davids’ charm, ability, stage presence
and durability, the show would fall
flat. While we are comparing apples
with apples, I also had the privilege
of seeing ‘The Bodyguard’ on stage
in London’s West End. Again, production, along with performance,
was clearly the success of the show.
And I know one could argue
that it is a Whitney Houston tribute
show so therefore all one needs is a
singer who embodies the star. And
to an extent you would be correct.
But then I may as well listen to
the cd in the comfort of my home.
This is a show, in one of our most
prestigious theatres, and like we
want statues removed that remind
us too blatantly of a past fraught
with injustices, we also do not want
watered-down, diet coke versions of
concerts and shows.
Again, kudos to Davids who is simply brilliant.

‘The Mumford Revolution’ comes to
Willowbridge Barnyard
The Willowbridge Barnyard in Durbanville is offering up something a
bit different in the middle of April, as
the ultimate feel good banjo, fiddle
and double bass led, blue-grass influenced rock show, ‘The Mumford
Revolution’, will be staged at the
theatre from Friday to Sunday, April
17 to 19.
The spotlight falls on the folk,
celtic and country inspired music
of Mumford and Sons as the show
celebrates the origins and emulators
of this uplifting, stomping, banjo
infused musical trend which has
stormed the charts over the past few
years.
Artists such as James Blunt, The
Lumineers, Passenger, One Direction,
One Republic, Imagine Dragons, Phillip Phillips, Avicii and our local Jeremy Loops and Matthew Mole have all
been inspired by the Mumford sound.
They rub shoulders with infectious
standards such as ‘Dueling Banjos’,
‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’,
The Soggy Bottom Boys’s ‘Man of
Constant Sorrow’, ‘Whiskey in the
Jar’ and the ‘Raggle Taggle Gypsy’,
all of which are bound to get the
party going.
Presented by Eastern Cape-based
production company Centrestage,
the seven piece line-up consists of
seasoned entertainers and top musicians who have performed throughout South Africa over the past 10
years.
The line-up features Wayne Kal-

Deirdre Wolhuter and Leonard Moss in ‘Ella’s Horses’
Two theatre productions, ‘Ella’s
Horses’ and ‘Happy’, written and
directed by the prolific and multi
award-winning South African playwright and director Charles J. Fourie, is currently being featured as
a double bill presentation at the
Galloway Theatre at the Waterfront
Theatre School until April 28.
‘Ella’s Horses’, with actress Deirdre Wolhuter and Leonard Moss,
won a ‘Standard Bank Standing
Ovation’ award at the 2014 Grahamstown National Arts Festival, and
tells the true story of the eccentric
horse-whisperer Ella Gordon, who
lis, Aston Wylie and Hugo Kleinhans
all on vocals, keyboards and guitar,
with Gino Fabbri on drums, Andrew
Warneke on double bass, with Colin
Lyall on banjo and Nicholas Fidler on
fiddle.
The Mumford Revolution promises to take you on musical journey through the evolution from the
American Country Bluegrass & Irish
Celtic influences to the Mumford &
Sons hipster phenomenon known today.
Songs such as James Blunt’s ‘Bonfire Heart’, One Direction’s ‘Story of
my Life’, Daughtry’s ‘Long live rock
and roll’, One Republic’s ‘Counting
Stars’, American Author’s ‘Best Day
of My Life’ and Avicii’s ‘Hey Brother’,
‘Wake Me Up’ and ‘These Days’, as
well as local lads Matthew Mole’s
‘Take Yours I’ll Take Mine’ and Jer-
emy Loops’s ‘Skinny Jeans’ all make
it into the show by virtue of their
driving kick-drum sound and celtic
overtones.
The Revolution also takes in the
likes of the Charlie Daniels band as
well as the Dubliners and a selection
of Irish sing-along songs.
A selection of popular Mumford
and Sons songs such as ‘Babel’, ‘I
Will Wait’, ‘Little Lion Man’ and ‘The
Cave’, amongst others are also featured.

Winners crowned at
Naledi Theatre Awards
Athol Fugard
The band that will conjure up the rootsy sound
once lived in Hermanus. This touching and prophetic play brings to life
the last days of the eccentric Gordon, who came to South Africa with
a touring French circus and settled
in the Hemel and Aarde valley outside Hermanus.
After clashing with the local
community because of her sexual
orientation as a lesbian she bought
the farm Karwyderskraal, where she
built a church and school for her
farm workers, living a frugal life,
dedicating her energy to uplifting
the local community, and her beloved horses, for whom she built
the famed “horse-graveyard”, which
can still be seen.
‘Happy’ features young actor Jarrid Geduld bringing a recent historical figure to the stage
in a one man performance. When
Happy Sindane announced he was a
white boy abducted by a black family into slavery in the township, a
media circus followed, grabbing the
world’s attention. Now Sindane’s
story comes to the stage in a heart
rending, bizarre and funny tale of
a displaced young man’s search for
love and identity in the new South
Africa.
Aubrey Sekhabi’s ‘Marikana –
The Musical’ swept the boards at
the South African Naledi Theatre
Awards earlier this week.
For the first time since the inception of the prestigious awards, two
performers – Jonathan Roxmouth
and Brendan van Rhyn – shared the
honours in the Best Performance
Musical: Male category for their
inspired roles in ‘Call Me Lee’ and
‘The Rocky Horror Show’ respectively.
Now in its 11th year, the Naledi
Theatre Awards seek to reflect the
vibrant and diverse nature of the
South African theatrical landscape.
The big winner on the night was
‘Marikana – The Musical’, an emotive and heartfelt tribute to those
who lost their lives during the mining strike at Lonmin. It took six
awards in the categories Best Production of a Musical (the South
African State Theatre), Best Director
(Aubrey Sekhabi), Best Performance
in a Musical: Female (Emma Mme-
kwa), Best Set Design (Wilhelm Disbergen), Best Score (McKenzie Matone, Zakele Mabena and Aubrey
Sekhabi) and Best Original Choreography (Thabo Rapoo).
At the glittering ceremony at
the Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City,
attended by the who’s who of the
entertainment world, Paul Slabolepszy’s ‘Pale Natives’ scooped three
awards; Best Production of a Play
(director Bobby Heaney), Best Supporting Actor (Antony Coleman)
and Best Performance in a Play
(Lionel Newton).
Awards were also given in the
Best Musical Director category
to Charl-Johan Lingenfelder and
Stefan Lombard for their musical
contribution to ‘The Rocky Horror
Show’ as the production also took
awards in the Best Sound Design
and Best Lighting Design categories
for Akbar Khan and Daniel Galloway respectively.
Veteran playwright and actor
Athol Fugard shone on the night
with an award for Best New South
African script for ‘The Shadow of
the Hummingbird‘,which he shared
with co-writer Paula Fourie.
Shaleen Surtie-Richards was given a lifetime achievement award for
her contribution to South African
theatre in a career that has spanned
more than 30 years.
One of the highlights of the ceremony was the arrival of Joey from
‘War Horse’, the gigantic horse puppet causing a sensation as he galloped onto the stage for his special
World Impact Award, the first time
that this has been given at the Naledi ceremony.

Is it that talent on our continent is

What is it that drives the creatives

he buzz this week concerned a
major listed retailer spending big
dosh telling anyone who cared
to listen that we could all be
‘Happy’. I am not feeling that ‘Happy’.
Having been immersed in the SA
Music industry for a while, I feel, well,
qualified to ask a number of questions
that might change the narrative of the
debate.
Why spend huge amounts of cash easily in the six figure bracket in dollars
- to get an American artist to endorse
the brand, when on a closer inspection
and interrogation one can find inspirational leaders and visionaries who live
right in our midst? What does it say
about South Africa and the artistic talent we have at home?
There are a number of great SA fashion designers doing great work, never
mind the music artists who continue
to work in their communities. I’ll mention one example: Sipho Mabuse of The
Beaters and of Harari fame, who went
back to do his matric and graduated at
the age of 61 in 2012, some 44 years
after leaving school.
He attended an ABET school down
Sipho Mabuse and Trevor Jones
the road from his home in Pimville in
Soweto and the result was an increase of
20% in learners attending ABET classes.
Soweto has over 4.5 million residents
and Sipho Mabuse is an icon still residing in Soweto.
The iconic film composer Trevor
Jones, born in District 6 and who is
lauded in Hollywood and the world over,
could give huge input and inspiration to
generations of kids wanting to understand the entire movie soundtrack making process and he has returned to Cape
Town.
In fact, Jones has just finished an
enormous piece of work in Spain for
Coca Cola, yet his talent is not tapped
into by South Africa.

The Esse range of products
Nature’s bounty
By RoxyK
Email: [email protected]
S
kincare is an investment,
so if you follow the right
routine and use the proper
products, you can be guaranteed a cleaner, refreshed skin
tone. The beauty industry has become so bombarded with so many
skincare products that it has become difficult to choose the perfect product for one’s skin. Then
there’s the matter of some beauty
brands trying to up sell their products to you, which might end up
with you buying products that you
do not need, or would really not
work for your skin.
So why not try a natural skincare range, one that should be
made from plants and natural resource products, and that is allergen free and contain no parabens
or preservatives. Many women are
changing over to products that are
chemical free, with a recent survey
showing that almost 60% are now
using organic products. A good
organic choice would be the Esse
range, which is endorsed by the
vegan society, which means that
these products are 100% natural.
They have a range suitable for sensitive skins and a unique anti-aging range with active ingredients
that target the problem areas like
fine lines and wrinkles.
Aging is inevitable. Although
this might not be what you want
to hear, it is unfortunately true.
You can however delay the onset
of aging in your skin by making
sensible lifestyle decisions and by
using products that deliver meaningful quantities of anti-oxidants
and other actives. Some diagnostic
clues to aging would be horizontal lines around the eyes, reduction in skin elasticity, muscle atrophy or loss of muscle tone and
uneven pigmentation. Esse has
introduced a range that targets
the areas of your skin where fine
lines and wrinkles appear and the
active ingredients in all their products work deep down to repair the
skin Oily skin resists the signs of
aging for longer, but excessive oil
can impact on skin health. Harsh
gel washes and chemicals used to
get rid of oiliness is not always the
best option. These tend to strip
off excess oil, making the skin dry
and susceptible to blackheads and
blemishes. Esse has introduced
a refining cleanser, which cleans
without drying out the skin. The
effective cocoa exfoliator has delicate fine granules that gently polish and refine the skin’s surface,
leaving it soft and smooth.
If you are certain that you are
ready to change your products and
want to try something different,
make sure that you buy the correct
products. Start with a mild cleanser and gradually introduce other
products to avoid irritation of your
skin. If you do notice redness or
a rash, stop the products immediately and allow the skin to heal by
using mild skin oil. Avoid non-drying masks and dry air-conditioned
atmospheres that could affect the
skin. Minimise sun exposure with
physical sun protection at all times
by using a mineral sun block.
The best solution is always to
know your skin type and what it
would react to. Read labels of all
products that you buy, which will
give you a clear indication of ingredients you may be allergic to.

The multi-theatre entertainment festival returns
his year the annual Suidoosterfees will be in its 12th
year and run from April 28 to
May 3.
From Artscape, to the Baxter and
Fugard, the Welgemeend Manor and
many more venues, audiences will
be treated to a mixture of comedy,
cabaret and classical productions.
‘Chester Missing Live’ features the
South African ventriloquist Conrad
Koch and his “Master” Chester Missing; in ‘Finding Emo’, comedian and
singer Emo Adams will set forth to
make audiences laugh…and cry.
Why not book a place for ‘Slegs vir

Beyers; and ‘Afrikaaps’, an Afro Fu-
Chester Missing and Conrad
Koch in ‘Gagging Order’
Chester Missing is angry, and he
wants to tell you about it. The award
winning satirical puppet, and star
of the double EMMY nominated TV
comedy news show ‘Late Nite News’,
has an opinion on everything form
Crocs to Zimbabwe and is touring
the country with his ventriloquist
sidekick, Conrad Koch. Conrad is still
forcing Chester to live in a suitcase,
which is never a good way to make
friends.
Chester is planning an evening of
hard hitting political satire, Conrad is
planning to not get sued. Neither is
really sure why Hilary, the has-been
showgirl ostrich is still there. She’s
meant to open the show, but things
haven’t been the same since her career ended, and now she’s an extra
in someone else’s suitcase. From
Houghton to Honolulu this interna-
tional diva has a black belt in back
stabbing, and a penchant for celeb
gossip columns. They both want
Conrad fired.
World class ventriloquism, and
cutting edge political satire, laced
with puppet madness are on the
agenda, provided the foam latex stars
play along. Conrad, South Africa’s
top ventriloquist comedian, who really would rather find more reasonable marionettes has the daunting
task of keeping these two megalomaniacs in line. They’ll lay into him,
each other, the audience and everyone else in this one night riotous
comedy revolution.

‘The Medium’ (Opera)
- Directed by Matthew Wild
Menotti’s ‘The Medium’ is a dark
and highly theatrical chamber opera.
Acclaimed director Matthew Wild
brings this melodramatic tale to life
while Alex Fokkens conducts.
Madame Flora (Elizabeth Frandsen), is the drunken spiritualist who
uses her daughter, Monica (Amanda
Osorio) and a homeless deaf-mute,
Toby, to convince clients they are
communicating with their dead.
Madam Flora’s game soon turns
deadly when she feels ghosts choking her, becomes paranoid and loses
control. With the dramatic feel of a
gothic short story, an orchestra part
influenced by jazz, and accessible
format (1 hour) it should appeal to
a universal audience.
* Catch ‘The Medium’ at the kykNet Theatre on Wednesday, April 28,
from 7pm to 8.30pm; and on Friday,
May 1, from 8.30pm to 10pm.
* Catch the show at the Artscape kykNet Teater on Saturday, May 2,

Tsogo Sun announces new 500
room hotel in Cape Town CBD
Tsogo Sun has reached agreement
with the owners of the site of the
recently demolished Tulip hotel
for the construction of an exciting
new 500-bedroom hotel complex
in Cape Town city centre on the
corner of Buitengracht and Strand
Street, for a total investment of
R680 million.
Tsogo Sun CEO Marcel von Aulock explains, “We believe the continued development and rejuvenation of Cape Town’s city centre will
lead to growing demand for hotel
accommodation. We already operate three full service hotels – The
Cullinan, Southern Sun Waterfront
and Southern Sun Cape Sun – as
well as the recently refurbished
SunSquare Cape Town in Gardens and believe the addition of
an exciting new product aimed at
the limited service market will allow us to provide the full spectrum
of products to suit all budgets for
both business and leisure travellers.”
The new hotel will consist of
two products in one complex, a
200-bedroom latest-design SunSquare hotel and a 300-bedroom
new generation StayEasy hotel, offering a choice of affordable and
stylish accommodation. Included
in the complex will be banqueting and conference facilities, Tsogo Sun’s trendy and fast growing
casual dining offering Vigour &
Verve, retail space and approximately 300 underground parking
bays. The hotel site currently includes a heritage façade which will
be retained.
“This investment represents our
continued commitment to the area
and brings the total number of
Tsogo Sun rooms in the Cape Town
city centre to over 2000, which is
very substantial indeed,” adds von
Aulock.
“Our SunSquare and StayEasy
hotel options each have their own
character and appeal, but the overriding offering in both is affordable, high-quality accommodation.
We’re delighted to have this opportunity to increase our presence in
one of the most vibrant cities on
the continent.”
Construction is expected to begin in May 2015 and to be completed by September 2017, in time
for peak summer tourist season.
Tsogo Sun’s portfolio includes
over 90 hotels and 14 casino
and entertainment destinations
throughout South Africa, Africa,
the Seychelles and Abu Dhabi. The
Group operates in all segments of
the hotel market from Deluxe to
Budget.

Ingredients for the filling:
• 2 apples (any type), peeled and

• 50g flaked almonds

‘Sweet’, written by Sam Linsell, is
a beautiful book about all things
sweet. It swings the pendulum from
desserts and puddings, across confectionary, to baked goods treats at
the other end.
Sam says that her chronic sweet
tooth has steered her towards her
passion for baking and dessert making, both of which she says are sources of great comfort and pleasure in
her life. This book is full of beautifully styled photographs, taken by Sam
herself. Recipes you should definitely
try are the chocolate mousse with
orange and hazel nuts, which will
make your mouth very happy; as will
the easy marshmallows with a salted
caramel swirl; or the vanilla French
doughnuts with a lemony glaze. But
enough of all that. Why don’t you
join me in baking a delicious batch
of Apple and Blueberry Jam Bars!
Let’s cook!
Apple and Blueberry Jam Bars
You can use any berry jam of your
choice for the filling, although blueberry, or raspberry jams are particularly delicious, as the slight tartness
adds to the overall flavour. If you are
for 45 minutes until golden-brown.
To prevent over-browning, loosely
cover the tin with aluminium foil if
necessary, so check regularly.
Once completely cool, remove from
the tin and cut into rectangular bars.

Ingredients for the pastry:
• 300g cake flour
• 45g almond flour
• 170g castor sugar
• 250g butter, chilled and cubed
• Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 23
x 23-cm cake tin with baking paper.
To make the filling, bring the apples,
zest, juice and sugar to the boil in
a small saucepan and simmer for 8
minutes, then leave to cool.
In the meanwhile, add all the pastry ingredients to the bowl of a food
processor and pulse until it forms a
dough, but do not overmix.

CONNECT TO THE CITY
Does your card expire next month?
It has been three eventful years since the launch of
MyCiTi’s innovative automated fare system and the
myconnect card. More than 500 000 myconnect cards
have been issued and they have become a must-have
item in the wallets and purses of residents and visitors
to Cape Town.
Y
our myconnect card is
much more than a ticket
to ride the ever-expanding
network of MyCiTi routes. It’s
also a sophisticated banking
product. There are two sections
to the myconnect. One allows you
to load Mover points that save
you 30% on fares, no matter what
time or what day of the week you
travel. The other allows you to
load money, which can be used to
pay for your MyCiTi fares at the
Standard rate, or to use a debit
card to pay for purchases of up
to R200 at any shop
that accepts debit
cards. You can
have the best
of both worlds
by loading money
in both sections at
once time.
The only drawback
to it being a banking
card is that it has an expiry date
on the face of the card. If you
were one of the first passengers
to start using the system, or you
received a free card in one of the
promotions around the launch of
a new route, your card may be
one of the first batch of 10 000
that are expiring on 31 May 2015.
Here’s the good news
Check the face of the card and if
the date is 05/15 then you only
have a few more
weeks to use
it. The good
news is that
the balance
on your card,
whether it
is loaded as
Standard or
Mover points,
will not expire and
can be immediately transferred

to a new card, which will be
issued to you free.
Get your new replacement card
free of charge at one of the special
card expiry kiosks at Civic Centre
and Table View stations. All you
have to do is to take your ID book,
passport or driver’s licence along
with your expiring card to get your
new card. The process takes 10-
to-15 minutes. Your balance will be
transferred immediately.
And now for the bad news
If you leave it to the last few days

do – there will be long queues
at the card expiry kiosks, which
will be frustrating. Because of

there can be no extension of the

If you miss the deadline, your
card won’t work when you want
