Serena, Messi, Linguistics and Life

Communication comes easy to those who utilize it well, and to those who know the importance thereof. And those that are good at it are mostly richly rewarded. It’s much like Serena Williams makes tennis look easy; and Messi with football. You get what I mean? Thing is, communication (or perhaps more succinctly the lack thereof) - whether we like it or not – lies at the heart of many a problem: domestic, political et al. But, as they say in the classics, a problem is never as permanent as a solution…

I was recently reminded of the im-portance of communication – really taking the time out to think about how one communicates: the listen-ing, the speaking and the thinking.

It is called meta-cognition: think-ing about your thinking. And, as a person who studied linguistics (yes, I actually studied), socio-linguistics was a part of the Linguistics course I really enjoyed at UCT (yes, I stud-ied my first degree at UCT. And yes, I did more than one degree). Back to Linguistics – it basically meant that when we learnt about “how lan-guages are constructed and used” the part that fascinated me was the part that spoke to how language is used in social contexts – add body language and different meanings like pure semantics versus social mean-ings to that equation and one is in-deed in very special, very interesting territory. It is something that to this day fascinates me, and stands me in good stead when dealing with people. After all, the “what we say” versus the “how we say it” could be interpreted in so many ways, and let us not forget the role perception plays…often impelled by how we say and do things…

Much of this is really about lis-tening, about being considerate

as a communicator and in this day and age when social media and cell phones are so present in our lives, we often get side-tracked and have to add that extra bit of noise that often makes communication even more difficult. And here we thought the cell phone is an amelioration of the communication process?

I have of late also been inundated with emails from readers who read Encore and who agreed with what I had to say about “reclaiming our hu-manity”, which again has to do with communication - almost a reaching out. Some of the readers asked the question about what human beings could do to retrieve their humanity. Is there a daily plan that one can fol-low and how does one even begin to create a plan like that? This is dif-ficult to answer. We each need our own unique day-to-day map. I can say what it means for me and I can even comment on how those people closest to me choose to live their daily lives, but beyond that I reckon it’s all up to each individual.

Let’s face it: there are many emp-

ty vessels in the world…and I know quite a few myself. Those who make noise, believing they are making valuable contributions as they spew their pearls of wisdom. Who knows, you might be thinking that of me at this very moment…

Still, I have this opportunity and, at the risk of sounding preachy, supercilious and clichéd, for me it translates into being the best human being I can be – making contribu-tions not only to improve my own life, but the lives of others. It is about striving towards having utmost con-sideration and respect for my own life and the lives of others. And it is hard work, exceedingly hard work. In a word, it means my having to get up each day and being thankful to have that day to make contributions and to again take forward that daily project of striving towards becom-ing the best person I can be. And as hackneyed as these words may seem, that is all anyone really should be fo-cusing on. All else is life that is hap-pening to you. Our lives thus far are the sum total of the choices we have

made. It therefore stands to reason that from this day on we are able to make that path of choices go in the direction we want it to go.

And, as one begins to make this a part of one’s daily routine one be-gins to feel the glorious exchange of energy in everything that one does – for oneself and for humanity. It is as Marcus Aurelius says: “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love…” And Stephen Covey who reminds us: “How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most.”

And what about the Chinese Prov-erb that says: “If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the per-son. If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world…”

The members of OneRepublic

Book lovers should be in ecstasy

Charity pop-up book sale at Gardens Centre OneRepublic’s ‘Native’ World Tour is

set to touch down in Cape Town on Sunday, June 21, at the Grand Arena at GrandWest Casino.

The group has achieved consider-able international success through-out their career. Their first album ‘Dreaming Out Loud’ (2007) was certified as platinum, earning them a Grammy nomination and went straight to number one in 16 coun-tries. Their first single ‘Apologize’, remixed by Timbaland, ranks in the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100’s All-Time Top Songs list and became a worldwide smash hit and their sec-ond single ‘Stop and Stare’ followed with the same success.

Their second album ‘Waking Up’ (2009) spawned hit singles ‘All The Right Moves’ and ‘Good Life’. In cre-ating their third full-length album ‘Native’ (2013), OneRepublic trav-

elled to Paris, Greece, London, New York, Seattle, and Vancouver to write and record, describing it as a “bold and boundary-pushing follow-up to 2009’s ‘Waking Up’, offering up a surge of stadium-sized rock that’s fiercely beat-driven, yet ethereal and intimate.”

‘Native’ debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and their hit single ‘Counting Stars’ reached number 2 on the Billboard Top 100, their high-est charting single since ‘Apologize’, as well as the top 10 of the Kia Top 40 on 947.

* The concert starts at 8pm. Tickets, if there are any left, are priced between R395 and R595. Book at www.bigconcerts.com, or at Computicket.Visit www.onerepublic.com for more information.

The Next 48hOURS • What’s Hot

In this regular column, we chat to some of SA’s premier personali-ties about their travel experienc-es and favourite local pastimes and haunts.This week we catch up with pop hit-maker and heartthrob, JIMMY NEVIS.

What is your favourite travel desti-nation, and why?I love any place of Oriental culture. Anywhere in Asia and any place that is completely different to my usual surroundings.

What was your first international trip, and what do you remember most vividly about the experience?My first trip was in 2011 to Thailand and Singapore. It honestly changed my life. What was great is that my family and I knew people that side so we were treated to a one of kind traditional experience. I ate blue rice and tasted a dried up jelly fish. Also their KFC had a curry that was next level.

What is the first thing you usually do when you arrive at your desti-nation and you’re trying to get ac-climated?Once I’ve checked into my accom-modation, I explore and walk around. I don’t like to waste time so it’s go time from the second I get there.

What for you is usually the best way to soak up the culture you’re in?Food. The flavours, spices and type of food can tell you so much about where you are. In Thailand every-thing was either a curry or a fish. I had crab shells wrapped in seaweed. I love tasting new things. Also going out to the non tourist spots can lead you to some awesome gems.

Flying - love it, or hate it?Absolutely love it. I was born to fly.

What has been your favourite cui-sine that you have discovered on your travels?I enjoyed Green Curry. I tasted it for the first time in Thailand years ago

and then found it in SA. It became quite popular over the years here in SA so that’s a dish that has become part of my life now.

You’ve got exactly R48 in your wal-let. Where do you go for lunch in Cape Town, and what do you have?Wow...that’s not much these days. I think I would spend that cash on Gelato ice cream. It wouldn’t be the wisest decision, but definitely worth it.

What is your speciality in the kitch-en?All things breakfast.

Describe your ideal night in, and out.In: A braai with friends at my place. Out: A braai at someone else’s house.

What makes life worth living?Family. Friends. Food.

Artscape celebrates young music achievers in Youth MonthYouth Month celebrations are cur-rently on at Artscape and will con-tinue until July 11. During this time hundreds of young artists from vari-ous multicultural arts disciplines will have the opportunity to perform their works on the Artscape stages togeth-er with many well-known artists. The highlight of this month is the Youth Jazz Festival. It celebrates its 13th year with nine soloist who success-fully auditioned to be included in a mentorship programme. It culminates with the jazz festival on Friday, June 19, at 7.30pm in the Artscape The-atre.

The soloists hail from various music institutions and schools. The group consists of the following talents:

• Keno Carelse (17) plays drums and Kirsten Skippers (16) the piano. Both are representative of South Peninsula High. • Jed Petersen (17) on saxophone is a Wynberg Boys High pupil.

• UCT is represented by Marco Maritz (19) on trumpet and flugelhorn, Sean Sanby (19) on electric bass guitar and double bass, along with vocalists Aimee George (18), Emma de Goede (22) and Liso Gcwabe (20).• Adelia Douw (21), another vocalist, is with the Delft Big Band.

Directors and mentors this year are pianist, producer and composer Ca-millo Lombard, trumpeter Ian Smith (Delft Big Band) and vocalist Amanda Tiffin (Head of Jazz singing at UCT). Also mentoring is drummer Frank Paco and bassist Charlton Daniels. All five artists form a jazz ensemble

to accompany the young musicians. Celebrated internationally, they are significantly recognised for their ongoing commitment to teaching young musicians.

“Each year the festival mentorship programme is structured around skills development and education as we

recognize the vital role the arts play in laying a foundation for an open society, based on the democratic val-ues of our constitution,” says Marlene le Roux, acting CEO of Artscape and director of Artscape Audience Devel-opment and Education explains. “It is a unique opportunity where the musicians have been able to take this programme forward into their careers and educate others in the process.

“Artscape continues to raise the standard each year through the dedication and passion of highly re-spected and acclaimed professional musicians and educators who not only mentor these young artists but ensures the continuity of the jazz tra-dition in the Western Cape. We are honoured to showcase all these musi-cians,” adds Le Roux.

deBaxter commemorates Youth Month with classic SA playThe Baxter Theatre Centre and the University of Cape Town’s Drama Department will celebrate South Afri-can youth and commemorate the life and work of legendary theatre-maker Barney Simon with ‘Black Dog Inj’emnyama’, which comes to the Baxter Flipside for a short sea-son from June 18 to 27 at 7.30pm-nightly, with a matinee on Saturday, June 27, at 2pm.

Following its hugely successful season recently at the UCT Are-na Theatre and to honour Youth Month, this powerful production, starring senior UCT drama students, will be restaged at the Baxter for 10 performances only.

Clare Stopford (who was respon-sible for ‘Blue/Orange’ at the Baxter earlier this year) directs a student cast lead by Khathu Ramabulana, Clarissa Roodt, Kai Brummer, Cleo Raatus, Sihle Mnqwazana and Tankiso Mamabolo, with original set design by Sasha Eilers.

“This was a story that needed to be told urgently to break the silence surrounding apartheid,” says Stop-ford. “Barney believed that theatre was one way of countering the ef-fects of the black-out on news, of biased reporting and misinforma-tion, enforced by the states of emer-gency of the 1980s as well as the censorship laws. He called it a ‘war of information’.”

She continues, “But primarily his aim, subliminally political and overt-ly humanitarian, was for people of a brutally divided country to hear and see each other; to learn about each other, to know each other. It was a theatre that bore testimony to lives lived side by side and in different

universes that could begin to cross the divide.”

‘Black Dog’ is the leader of a group of students who joined the student uprising in Soweto in 1976, following him through the streets of his hometown and to his final place of exile. The play was first performed in 1984 and was created over six weeks, just a decade before South Africa became a democracy. It featured a mixed cast of six actors made up of a collection of various characters and their experiences of the 1976 student riots, which be-came pivotal to the development of the play.

Twenty years after his passing, the Barney Simon anthology still speaks to contemporary South Africa while reminding us of our rich and painful history. His immense contri-bution to the canon of theatre in the country, as playwright, director and dramaturge, was celebrated in the UCT season comprising a festival and symposium entitled Touched by Barney Simon: A Retrospective. The festival was made up of five back-

to-back productions: ‘Cincinatti’, ‘Woza Albert’, ‘Begeerte’ and ‘Black Dog Inj’emnyama’, staged at the Little and Arena Theatres in May this year. The fifth production, ‘Have You Seen Zandile?’, was created by Gcina Mhlophe, who worked closely with Simon at the Market Theatre.

Celebrating Barney Simon this year highlights the continued rel-evance of his work to present day South Africa and commends the legacy of one of this country’s most beloved and prolific theatre-makers.

‘Black Dog Inj’emnyama’ was se-lected from the season to kick-start the Baxter’s tribute to the theatre icon. This will be closely followed by ‘Born in the RSA’, which pre-mieres at the National Arts Festival from July 2 to 4, before transferring to the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio from July 8 to August 8. Actress and director Thoko Ntshinga, who starred in the original production some 30 years ago, directs a dynam-ic new young cast.

Provocative two-hander reaches the home stretch at Alexander BarThis is the final week to catch the award-winning Rust Co-Operative’s hard-hitting play ‘Ashes’ at the Al-exander Upstairs Theatre in Strand Street.

Showing until Saturday, June 20, at 7pm nightly, the two-hander chronicles the life of a young gay man through the eyes of six char-acters. It explores his small-town upbringing, his entrance into adult-hood and the excitement and thrill of first love. A sudden, violent event ruptures the world of the characters, forcing them to pick up the pieces in the void that remains.

Inspired by actual events, ‘Ash-es’ examines family, love, and the scourge of violence against gay lives in our country.

Presented by the Rust Co-Oper-ative team of Philip Rademeyer and Penelope Youngleson, the creators of award-winning works such as ‘The View’ (winner of two awards at In-ternational Dublin Gay Theatre Fes-tival; nominated for three Fleur du Cap Awards), ‘Siembamba’ (Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award; played at Amsterdam Fringe Festival) and ‘Expectant’ (Standard Bank Ovation Award; played at Afrovibes Festival),

‘Ashes’ features the talents of rising stars Stefan Erasmus and Jason Ja-cobs.

The impetus for ‘Ashes’ is the ongoing violence against gays and lesbians in our country, specifically three excessively violent attacks on young gay men in the Western and Northern Cape in 2014 (which mostly remained unreported in the

mainstream media). With ‘Ashes’, the writer, Rademeyer, sets out to exam-ine systemic homophobia and the scourge of violence against young gay lives in South Africa, exploring the thin line seperating the personal and the political.

Comedy bigwigs come together for fundraiser

Fleur du Cap nominees at the Kalk Bay Theatre

Cape Town Comedy Club has teamed up with Marc Lottering, Stuart Taylor, Kurt Schoonraad and Nik Rabinowitz to raise funds for five year old Jun-aid Arendse from Mitchells Plain on Monday, June 22, in the showcase ‘Stand Up For Junaid’.

Junaid was diagnosed with Neu-roblastoma in May 2014 and had to undergo 16 rounds of chemotherapy without much positive results. He now has stage 4 cancer and is in and out of hospital continuously. His doctors have given him another 3 months to live. His last hope is a treatment called Topotecan, which is extremely costly.

The aim of the fundraiser is to raise at least three months’ worth of treatment with Topetecan.

Junaid is a lively happy kid and

always has a smile on his face. When he is big he wants to buy hair and become a fireman.

* Doors open at 6pm. The show starts at 8.30pm. Happy Hour is between 6 and 7pm and after the show.Tickets are R250 and available from any Computicket outlet, or at Shop-rite, Checkers stores.Cape Town Comedy Club, the only dedicated comedy venue in the West-ern Cape, is a dinner theatre and has a full restaurant and bar available.

Featuring the Fleur du Cap nominat-ed Nhlanhla Mhkwanazi (Best Perfor-mance in a One Hander) and newly directed by the 2014 winner of the Rosalie van der Gucht Prize for New Directors, Penelope Youngleson, the physical theatre production ‘A Man and a Dog’ is currently showcasing its last few performances. It can be seen at the Kalk Bay Theatre until Satur-day, June 20.

The script has been reworked by Youngleson and Mhkwanazi, while still maintaining the essence of the much-beloved production that toured the country back in 2006 and graced some of our finest stages. It

tells the poignant coming-of-age story of a young Zulu boy’s search for the parents he never knew, and how he finds himself on the long journey back to his home. Almost ten years later, Mhkwanazi is looking back as a father to his own children.

The play makes use of oral tra-dition, song, instrumentation and physical theatre to weave together a retelling of our collective family as South Africans. A rediscovery of ourselves. A remembering of what it means to be of this country.

The music business is a strange business to say the least .The fees charge vary from performer to performer and band to band, never mind the fees charged by the tech-nicians and production people, who oil the wheels of the event. This week I got such varying prices for a function that it left me feeling being short changed and somewhat perplexed. I was asking about fees for bands to perform at an event and I got different prices for the same band from every person I spoke to. All I could do was laugh at the “middle man” who was adding on a larger than ex-pected - shall we say - handling fee for taking a booking and was making exor-bitant money for actually doing nothing.

The sad thing is the artist suffers and the other problem is the artist never hears about these additions to his quoted fee.

This market is tough, especially in winter in the Western Cape and if shows are not advertised at least three months before the event, they struggle to sell tickets .Big Concerts push the big tick-et shows for months on end and have fantastic success rates. An example is OneRepublic, which is sold out this weekend. Another event, like last week’s Winter Jazz Show at Grand Arena, posi-

tioned the ticket price too high for the market they expected to attract and as a result had a less than half full house.

AMP Events hit it big this week with the Live ‘Throwing Copper tour -20TH anniversary show’, which has sold very well and at the time of writing was near-ly sold out.

Real Concerts is bringing Joan Arma-trading to Cape Town in July as part of her world tour. This show has also been in the market for a number of months. Hopefully we get to hear all those won-derful hits like ‘Me Myself I’ – which

remains one of my all time classic al-bums and features one Anton Fig on drums, who was a Capetonian by birth and spent years bashing the skins on the ‘Late Show’ with David Letterman.

The problem promoters have now is what has happened to the wonderful writing and journalists that did exist in the local press about shows and events. With the demise of Rolling Stone maga-zine most of the good critical thinking music journalists appear to have van-ished, or are pushing out pieces on blogs. Mainstream media, if it cannot carry a

700 to 1000 word piece, should let the article live online, especially if it is a criti-cal piece of writing about an artist or album review.

Promoters also need to understand that some pieces might be critical of the show or artist and need to allow well researched and written pieces to live, as opposed to taking draconian mea-sures and saying to the journalist that they won’t give them tickets to the next show, because they did not praise the show with every cliché known in the English language.

Most powerful micro-towerOver the years we have witnessed the growth of the PC Enthusiast, a breed of people that find plea-sure in over-clocking processors and graphics cards running games faster and really testing their hardware. Hardware manufactur-ers have noticed this and started bringing over clock-able devices to the market. One such company that was founded on this premise was Falcon Northwest Comput-ers. Falcon has been around for 20 years and prides themselves on sat-isfying the niche PC market where users want specific specifications for their computers. Their latest PC features 18 cores and is the most powerful micro-tower PC available right now, called the Tiki PC and powered by Intel. What makes it even more impressive is the fact that Intel’s Super CPU supports hyper threading, allowing this CPU to be pushed to twice its capacity.

The PC comes in at around the size of an Xbox One or PS3, is liq-uid cooled and packs an NVidia Quadro series graphics card. It is really the stuff of legend, allow-ing for gaming at 12K resolution. As the PC is fully customizable, it can be ordered directly from Falcon Northwest, allowing you to choose your own specifications.

Full Steam aheadThe new Steam controller, made by Valve, will be available in South Africa soon says Dell Computers. They have not announced pricing or a launch date as yet, but gam-ers around the country are waiting anxiously to get their hands on it. Valve has designed this gaming controller with gamers for gamers, so it offers the same precision con-trol you would get with a keyboard and mouse setup.

The Steam Controller also fits in with the bigger plan that Valve has, which is to roll out their gam-

ing platform. This gaming console has been in the pipeline for some time now, but it seems that they have ironed out the creases and are ready to bring it to market. Steam

Machine, as it will be known, will have the same power as a PC and run on Valves Linux based operat-ing system.

We have heard that most of this hardware will be available by November of this year, but no de-finitive date has been given yet as to when it will be available in South Africa. The great news is that Alienware, a subsidiary of Dell, have launched a Steam Ma-chine already that is available in South Africa. The Alienware Alpha console is now available at Dion Wired Stores for around R11500. It allows you to play PC games on TV and because it is powered by Windows 8 there is a lot more you have access to in terms of in-ternet content and Steam games and entertainment. This particular model is powered by an i5 proces-sor, runs 8 gigabytes of memory and has 2 terabytes of hard drive space. In terms of price we do feel it comes in slightly high, as it plays in the gaming console space, but to put it into perspective the total computing power and cost of this console is comparable to building a high powered desktop PC from scratch, with the desktop PC pos-sibly costing much more.

FILM: 5 FLIGHTS UPCAST: MORGAN FREEMAN, DIANE KEATON, CYNTHIA NIxON, CARRIE PRESTON, KOREY JACKSON, CLAIRE vAN DER BOOMDIRECTOR: RICHARD LONCRAINE

A couple can pack a lot of memo-ries into four decades of mar-riage. For Ruth and Alex Carver, played by Academy Award-win-ners Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman, those memories are reflected in the apart-ment they have owned in Brooklyn for the past forty years. Once just a shabby flat in a neglected neighbourhood, that two-bedroom apartment with a lovely view is now their comfortable home, with the second bedroom serving as Alex’s painting studio. The neighbourhood has blossomed and is on the verge of being overrun by hipsters, whom Alex is both amused and befuddled by as he walks their beloved dog, Dorothy.

As much as Ruth (now a retired teach-er) and Alex love their apartment, it is on the top floor of a building without an el-

evator and they know that they need to be practical about the next phase of their lives together. For that reason, they have decided to allow Ruth’s desperate real estate agent niece, Lily (Cynthia Nixon), to list their apartment and host an open house. Such an event would be enough of an ordeal under normal circumstances, but add in a suspected terrorist prompting panic throughout the city, colourful home hunters, and a serious health emergency for their dog Dorothy, and the weekend becomes a roller coaster of emotions for Ruth and Alex.

This often humorous, delicately con-structed and poignant film is based on the novel ‘Heroic Measures’ by Jill Ciment, which was hailed by Oprah and praised by the Los Angeles Times as “a brave, generous, nearly perfect novel.” Despite the book’s critical and popular success, Ciment admits, “Of all the books I have written, this is the last one I thought would be made into a film. It’s about elderly people, and that’s not something that Hollywood normally does.” That may

be true in general, but when producer Curtis Burch (‘Words and Pictures’) read the novel in galley form, he believed that the realistically drawn characters facing an increasingly common major life transi-tion would make for an appealing movie. He brought aboard veteran screenwriter Charlie Peters (‘My One and Only’), who remembers: “I grew up in New York City, and the more I thought about the novel, the more I realized the relatability of the story.”

Ruth and Alex – who in the novel are depicted as an elderly Jewish couple liv-ing on the Lower East Side of Manhat-tan – are characters based on Ciment and her husband of over forty years, the noted painter Arnold Mesches. In addition to her own long and happy marriage, Ciment was inspired by the events of 9/11 and the morbidly humorous comments made soon after about buying property down-town while the market was so depressed. “I had one friend who suddenly had light in their apartment, after being in the

shadows of the towers,” she remembers. “Suddenly, the idea of what things were worth changed in such big ways.”

“Of course if you write a script about two elderly Jews in New York, who are the first people you think of?” jokingly asks Peters. “Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton of course!” Having the sense that the acclaimed and beloved Freeman, who is constantly in-demand for blockbusters and high-profile features, would like the chance to take on a leading character in a smaller movie, Burch sent the script to Freeman’s company, Revelations Enter-tainment.

“It’s really a human interest story,” says Morgan Freeman. “People who are married all of that time, of course they love each other, so it’s not a suspenseful, rolling-around-in-bed kind of love story. It’s about people keeping things on the low ebb, instead of too much sturm and drang.”

FILM: TRUE STORYCAST: JONAH HILL, JAMES FRANCO, FE-LICITY JONESDIRECTOR: RUPERT GOOLD

This film, based on true events, fol-lows the relationship between a shamed journalist and an accused murderer, who lived under the for-mer’s pseudonym for years.

February of 2002 marked a turn-ing point in the life of New York Times reporter Michael Finkel (played by Jonah Hill). Riding high as one of the paper’s busiest and most peri-patetic journalists, he was instantly shot down when it was revealed that he had tampered with the truth in a New York Times Magazine cover story he had written on contempo-rary slave trading in Africa. The New York Times quickly showed Finkel the door, and he watched his world collapse. His life almost immediately took another twist; he’d become a victim of identity theft. Nobody had stolen his social security or credit

card numbers, but someone had as-sumed his name and was posing as him in Mexico; Christian Longo (James Franco), a man who had just been apprehended and accused of murdering his own wife and children.

Charming, articulate, and appeal-ing, Christian Longo was the last person anyone would have suspected of such crimes. During the months of incarceration that preceded his trial, he insisted there was only one individual to whom he would tell his story: the reporter whose name he’d stolen. For Finkel, the offer became an irresistible scoop, a way to start rebuilding his shattered reputation - and ultimately, a Faustian bargain.

Finkel’s experience was clearly a unique one, the fodder for the most uncompromising kind of self-reckoning. It caused him to question himself, his choice of career, and his own moral and ethical code. Longo offered him a chance at personal and professional redemption. Reflecting on Finkel’s dilemma, Jonah Hill says,

“I think, in situations where you’re trying to resurrect yourself, you be-lieve that there’s possibility in any-thing that presents itself that might help you out.” By the same token, the inner journey of Christian Longo, a seemingly normal young man who could suddenly murder his entire family, brought James Franco face-to-face with a human being few of us could even begin to understand. “In some ways Longo is unreadable,” said Franco during filming, “but unreadable with a hint of friendli-ness, of charm. The way he reacts to things doesn’t add up to what we know about him, or what we find out about him. That’s why it’s so eerie and ambiguous - because he doesn’t seem connected to what he did; to what is happening around him; to his punishment.”

After killing his wife, Mary Jane, and their three children in December 2001, he fled to Mexico, where he was ulti-mately tracked down and ap-

prehended two months later. Longo now sits on Death Row, where he has been spearheading a campaign for

condemned prisoners to be allowed to donate their body parts to those who are medically in need of them.

Don’t forget to spoil your dad this Sunday, June 21. There are so many ways that we can spoil our Dads and show them that they are loved and appreciated. The first thing that comes to mind is to purchase a lovely gift, something that they have been hankering after for a while – one that does not include the words “soap” and “on a rope” in the descriptor, ok!Why not send him to a spa, for a fabulously relaxing massage or fa-cial? Yes, men love facials too. And then take him out for a delicious meal; or you could cook up a storm for him at home get the whole family involved.

I quite like the idea of cooking up a storm and getting the whole family involved in the preparation of a three course meal. Everyone can do their bit and bring a tear to his eye. Well my old dad used to shed a few when we turned Father’s Day into a special occasion.

A little bit of trivia: on July 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the na-tion’s first “Father’s Day.” However, it was not until 1972, 58 years af-ter President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the United States.

Let’s make something easy that the kids can put together with your

help moms - a nice smoothie to get the the day started and a starter to begin the meal later.

So let’s cook!

Bangkok smoothieServes 4This is especially delicious made with fresh lychees when they are in sea-son. Use a cup of pitted fresh ones and a cup of lychee juice instead of the canned ones.

Ingredients:• 1 can lychees, strained and juice

reserved• 250 ml coconut milk• ½ cup honey or palm sugar• 2 stems lemongrass, soft tender

centre bruised and chopped• Zest and juice of 2 fresh limes• 1 cup Greek yoghurt• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger• Fresh mint, for garnishing

Method:Place the syrup from the lychees in a saucepan with the coconut milk, honey, bruised lemon grass and lime zest. Heat gently and when it starts to simmer, remove from the heat and let the lemon grass infuse in the co-conut milk.Place the cooled, strained coconut milk in a blender with the lychees, lime juice, yoghurt and fresh ginger. Add a few blocks of ice and blend till smooth. Serve ice cold garnished with fresh lime and mint.©jenny Morris 2015 All rights re-served

Fennel, caper and orange salad with lightly steamed salmonServes 4-6 as a starter“When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays 3000000 eggs, but no one remembers her on Mother’s Day.” - Sam Ewing

Ingredients:• 2 heads of fennel trimmed,

washed and halved lengthways• 2 small ripe lemons, juiced• 5 tablespoons olive oil• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

• 2 tablespoons capers• 1 teaspoon roughly chopped

fresh dill• Salt• Freshly ground black pepper• 2 oranges, peeled and pith free,

thinly sliced• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Method:Slice the fennel into thin strips, place on a flat glass dish and sprinkle with a little salt. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and white wine vinegar. Scatter the capers and dill over the sliced fennel, add the orang-es and red onion, and season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the dressing and mix together gently, using your hands of course.

The Salmon• 400g Norwegian salmon

Method:Place a colander over a pot of sim-mering water, lightly oil the salmon with a little olive oil, place a few fen-nel fronds down onto the colander and then place the salmon skin side down onto that. Steam the salmon for 8 minutes covered or until it is only just cooked through.Cool the salmon and break into bite sized chunks. Scatter over the salad. ©jenny Morris 2015 All rights re-served

Tantalize dad’s taste buds this Sunday

The Theatre @ the Rockwell in Green Point launched in April, of-fering audiences a new theatre and dining experience with the show ‘Shiza iKapa (The Heat of Cape Town)’, created and produced by well known performer Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd of RBL Productions.

Barreiro-Lloyd also leads the cast of ‘Shiza iKapa’, which is set in Marcia’s Tonic Tavern and in-troduces the colourful patrons and characters who frequent the venue.

The Rockwell Executive Colin Judin was inspired to create the theatre after seeing a previous Bar-reiro-Lloyd production, ‘Amazink Live’, in Stellenbosch.

“The Waterkant has become such a cosmopolitan part of Cape Town. We had space available at The Rockwell and I thought it would be a great addition of unique flavour and experience to the arts and culture scene. After seeing Ramaine & her cast per-

forming in ‘Amazink Live’, I knew I wanted to bring that energy to The Rockwell,” says Judin.

“It’s in a gorgeous hotel and the hotel’s location is amazing. The show happens between the dinner tables, so you become part of the show and because we have four stages, everyone has a front row seat,” Barreiro-Lloyd recently told The Next 48hOURS about ‘Shiza iKapa’ and what’s in store for au-diences.

The dynamic cast includes well-known performers Tebogo Louw, of ‘Idols fame’, and O’Ryan Win-ter, from Etv’s ‘Backstage’ and well-known on stages throughout South Africa.

“It’s a dream to be able to pour all the ideas into a cast who has the talent to pull off anything my head can come up with,” Barreiro-Lloyd said about her fellow players.

* Performances take place from Wednesdays to Saturdays at 7.30pm. Book at Computicket.For more information, visit www.rockwellhotel.co.za/theatre, or call 021 421 0015.

Push the boat out this Father’s Day and treat Dad to some spec-tacular and rare vintage wines from Nederburg’s wine library. These special-edition, top-of-the-range wines are being brought out for one day only - Sunday, June 21 - to celebrate the first man in your life. They will be paired with a hearty winter man-menu.

For just R295 a head (sub-stantially less than the likely price of a single bottle of any of the wines being served), guests will be treated to a three-course meal, with each dish complemented by a glass of unique, limited edi-tion wine from Nederburg’s con-noisseur Private Bin range. The richly layered and aromatic Viog-nier from the 2008 vintage will be served with a lightly curried mus-sel chowder with sweet corn stick bread.

A glass of the R181 Merlot, now 11 years old and showing lively red fruit flavours with the smoothest of tannins, will accompany a duet of lamb: braised shoulder and grilled rump, finished off with a

rich red wine jus. The top secret dessert will be

matched with the 2003 Noble Late Harvest Weisser Riesling. Its pro-fusion of rose, honeysuckle and jasmine aromas and white peach and rich tropical fruit flavours will give chef Edmore Ruzoza ample scope in creating a dish to round off an exceptional experience.

* Lunch on Father’s Day will be

served from 12pm. Booking is essential. To secure a booking, guests are kindly requested to pay a deposit of R150 per person in advance. Call 021 877 5155, or send an e-mail to theredtable@nederburg.co.za.Vegetarians and those with special dietary needs can be accommo-dated. Kids are also catered for.Visit www.nederburg.co.za for more information.

WIN! an awesome Father’s Day experience at The Rockwell Hotel

Celebrate the man in your life with rare vintage wines

Setting time aside in our frantic rush through life to share a meal with dad might just be treasured by him as the ultimate gift this Father’s Day. But not any meal will do. Treat him to an ex-quisite five-course meal at the Durban-ville Hills Restaurant paired with the range of Durbanville Hills, Rhinofields and single-vineyard wines from the cel-lar. In addition, Durbanville Hills will include a gift for him too.

The meal will be prepared by chef Louisa Greeff, who sources only the fin-est meat, fish and produce from local artisanal producers to ensure depth of flavour and exceptional quality.

After the amuse bouche, there is a starter dish of prawn ceviche followed by a choice of either smoked duck breast or a butternut and cumin souf-flé. The main course, either a skewer of grilled venison loin or grilled fish of the day, leads to spiced orange crème cara-mel for dessert.

The wines selected to accompany these dishes range from the single-vineyard Sauvignon blanc to the lightly wooded Chardonnay, cool-climate Pi-notage and the balanced noble late harvest, all selected to best comple-ment the flavours of each course.

* The pairing costs R350 per person, and is available for lunch on June 21. The restaurant will also be open for breakfast from 8.30am to 11.30am for

those who prefer to treat dad earlier on the day. For bookings or more information, call 021 558 1300; or send an email to info@durbanvillehills.co.za.

WHAT A GREAT RIDEIn 2015, MyCiTi celebrates 5 years

of connecting you to Cape Town.

To mark our birthday, we’d like to thank our passengers for being part of MyCiTi’s journey. In five years, our bus service has grown into a wide network of safe, affordable and reliable

routes across the city. So let’s keep going places, together.

2015

Hot on the heels of celebrating its fifth birthday, the MyCiTi service can announce that the second half of the year will see several very exciting improvements along with some changes to the fares and payment options.

With effect from July 1, My-CiTi has amended the peak period hours, making them shorter to in-centivise more passengers to start their journeys slightly earlier or later. The weekday morning peak hours have been changed from 6.30am to 8.30am to 6.45am to 8am and in the afternoons from 4pm to 6pm to 4.15pm to 5.30pm.

When the annual increases come into effect on July 1, there will be substantial savings for pas-sengers who time their journeys to start before or after the peak period. For example, if your daily commute is between 20 and 30 kms (from Table View to Sea Point) you can save R5 one way or R10 on a return trip paying the Stan-dard fare of R19.80 (peak) and R14.50 (outside of the peak). This amounts to R200 more in your pocket every month.

Several new routes will also start soon.

From mid-July, more buses will operate as express services on

the busy T01 trunk route, starting from Usasaza or Wood stations and stopping at Table View, Race-course and Woodstock stations on the way to Civic Centre station. Passengers will be able to iden-tify which are the express buses by the T01E on schedules and on the buses.

On August 1, the new T04 (Du-noon to Century City) route will start operating. This service will drastically reduce the time and cost of the journey between the two compared with the MyCiTi service via Table View, Racecourse and Omuramba stations.

From Omuramba station, the route includes new stations at Phoenix and Sandrift before run-ning along Ratanga Road to the new Century City station at the public transport interchange.

The launch of new MyCiTi ser-vices in the Atlantis area on July 4 will connect to Mamre, Pella and Robinvale, and offer new ways of connecting to Table View, Century City and central Cape Town.

* You can find out more about these and other new changes, by visiting www.myciti.org.za, or by following @MyCiTiBus on Twitter.

Exciting changes to MyCiTi for the second half of 2015

“Everesting” in Durbanville for a good cause

On Saturday, June 20, a group of cyclists will “Everest” in Durbanville. What does “Everesting” mean? This means that these outdoor adventurers will bike up and down a hill for the same distance, 8848 metres, as the height of Mount Everest, the highest point on the planet.

Another question that is sure to come to mind is, “Why?” This time, avid cyclists Attie Conradie and Cor Winckler will be cycling to raise awareness and funds for one of SAVE’s ongoing projects, the Elundini Building Project. The event is called Everesting4Elundini.

Elundini, located in the township of Dunoon is the only centre on the West Coast of Cape Town catering to children with physical and mental dis-abilities.

Here, they receive care, meals, stimulation and physiotherapy to look after their varying needs on a daily basis.

Although the intentions of this school are wonderful, the facilities being used are in a serious state of disrepair and SAVE hopes to remedy this by building a new, properly con-structed and designed school to meet the many needs of these deserving children.

This week leading up to and dur-ing the Everesting4Elundini event, the public is requested to help pro-

mote the building project and donate anything they can. Donations that echo the height of Everest - R8.84, R88.84. R884.80, or even R8848 – are encouraged. So far R66400 for the project has been raised, but the goal to make this happen is still a ways off.

* Visit www.givengain.com to learn more about the plans for the new

school and to donate. Promote the event on social media using the hash tag “#everesting4elundini”. Active people are welcome to attempt the “Everesting” challenge themselves or with a group of friends and document their journey on social media. Visit www.everisting.cc for more in-formation.
