CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER! Today’s internation CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER! Today’s international traveller is drawn to so much more than just a beautiful room at a resort. In fact, we’re drawn to beauty, intention, unique experiences and elevated living. Not to mention wellness, luxury, incredible culinary journeys and escapes that give back. The LUX Collective continues to redefine modern luxury with all these things in mind. The group’s flagship brand, LUX* Resorts & Hotels, has once again been honoured with four coveted Five-Star Awards by the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide in 2026. This evidently reinforces its position as a global leader in luxury hospitality, wellness and experiential travel.

THIS IS YOUR ULTIMATE LIST OF SA RESTAURANTS FOR 2 THIS IS YOUR ULTIMATE LIST OF SA RESTAURANTS FOR 2026: This year’s LUXE Restaurant Awards, held at MIRA Sandton, was clearly a glittering affair. In partnership with Audi South Africa, the evening brought together the country’s most celebrated chefs, restaurateurs and culinary visionaries for what has become one of the most anticipated events on the local dining calendar. More than an awards ceremony, the LUXE Restaurant Awards once again served as a barometer of where South African cuisine is headed – bold, refined, globally relevant and deeply rooted in local identity.

Cape Town’s fashionistas had reason to linger a li Cape Town’s fashionistas had reason to linger a little longer on Bree Street recently. Vault on Bree unveiled its very first local designer collaboration with Fuata Moyo, presenting Her heARTbeat as a dynamic street-style showcase during Bree Street Sundays and Art Fair Weekend. The result was an urban runway moment that transported those in attendance to Paris and London, whilst still being entirely and unapologetically South African. Models moved through Bree Street’s energetic corridor and the city itself became the catwalk. Against the backdrop of cafés, galleries and weekend crowds, Fuata Moyo’s sculptural tailoring and contemporary African design language took centre stage – fluid, architectural and deeply expressive. It was fashion in motion, fashion in conversation, fashion embedded in the rhythm of the city.

10 Years to the day. There is a lot about marria 10 Years to the day. There is a lot about marriage I didn't know 10 years ago. I never knew how rewarding it would be. But I also never knew how hard we'd really have to work at it and how much I'd learn from it. We've had exciting years, dreamy years, years of planning, years of plans failing, years of growth and slower years. We've also had joyous years with two kiddies joining us in this crazy world. 10 Years of us. The good, the bad. The great, the sad. Thank you, @wikus.engelbrecht for your love, patience, guidance and your hard work to provide for us as a family. Grateful is the word. And blessed. #marriage #10years #anniversary
