Let the fun be ‘gin’ with locally produced Mayine gin

No Comments

Local is always lekker, as we know, and SA’s first ever gin bursary has just been awarded to the country’s first black-owned gin brand – Mayine Gin. Mayine is managed by a husband and wife team from Khayelitsha in the Western Cape – Luvuyo and Nodumo Jongile – who have had an inspiring and exciting series of events, and have just taken home a R 100 000 bursary to help grow their business, culminating in a trip to London’s Juniperlooza Festival next year on World Gin Day. “The SA Gin Business Bursary is the first of its kind, not just in South Africa, but in Africa, from what we know. And it will be the first of many, as we plan to support one up-and-coming artisan within the gin industry every year within this program,” explains the idea originator and donor, Jean Buckham, owner of SA’s Premier Craft Gin Club,…

Hot and Happening Fashion Items This Winter

No Comments

We love all the pretty things here at Sandton Magazine – and of course we are happy to share, because we all know that sharing is caring. You can thank us later 😉 Hermes Arceau Cavales Hermes has unveiled a new masterpiece, entitled the Arceau.

The 36 mm and 28 mm-diameter models feature an inner bezel ring adorned with an unusual light gem-setting, while 70 or 60 diamonds light up a mother-of-pearl marquetry dial, reproducing the famous “Cavales” equestrian motif.

We take a look at Gauteng’s oldest residential suburbs

No Comments

Joburg is so steeped in history, many of it’s oldest suburbs date back over a hundred years and exploring these suburbs and areas, along with their old buildings and memories is one of our favourite things to do. Join us for a walk down memory lane… Melville Melville was established in 1896 (only ten years after Johannesburg itself) and was for most of its history a predominantly Afrikaans lower middle-class suburb, which is much different from the last few decades where it has evolved into a bohemian enclave which is home to many artists and famous South African entertainment personalities.  The basis for the street in the popular soapie “7de Laan”, 7th Street, Melville’s cultural and business hub is always alive with activity. Chris Hajec, Seeff’s MD for Randburg, and a resident of Melville himself says the suburb has a particular attraction to the fiercely loyal residents who look out for…

The King of Front-Wheel-Drives – The Honda Civic Type R

No Comments

Honda South Africa have launched their newest Honda Civic Type R and is leading the pack as the most powerful of front wheel drive cars, currently. Where do I start with the new Honda Civic Type-R? It is truly the marmite car of today. I agree, it’s not a car for everybody but it is one of the most brutal and most involved driving cars you can own today. The new Type-R has a 2.0 litre turbo VTEC engine pushing out 228kw and 400nm. Not the most power I know, but all that power is put through the front wheels only, making it the most powerful production front wheel drive cars right now. Plus, it is only driven through a manual gearbox. Some driving enthusiasts love the fact that it only comes in a manual yet the majority shunned the Type-R for having 3 pedals. The Type-R is as hard-core…
