Driven by a sole mission - to tackle the challenge

Driven by a sole mission - to tackle the challenges of food insecurity and unemployment - one family-run enterprise is helping put food on the table, one sock at a time.

Meet Mike Nel, a Shongweni family man whose vision, along with that of the rest of his family, is a nourished South Africa. After more than two decades in HR, he packed up his desk and left the corporate world to fulfil his purpose as a social entrepreneur.
With a serious drive to make a difference to the lives of those around him, Mike now heads up the KZN factory for Food Sock, a revolutionary meal-in-a-bag business that is making waves around the food industry.

Nutritious, tasty (trust us on this one), convenient and affordable, these meals can feed up to four adults or six children, for just R45, in under 40 minutes - yes, you read that right – which makes them ideal for busy moms, single folk, students, pensioners, campers, hikers and, especially these days, during load shedding.

Food Sock was originally founded in 2021 by George resident Carl van Blerk, and relative of Mike, who, as a passionate Lions Club member was asked by the government to support the efforts of providing food to the local community during Covid.

Fast forward and Mike and his wife, Meghan, now run a very busy factory in Waterfall where, together with an amazing team, they make up a variety of different food socks. They are sold for home consumption and in bulk as they are ideal for feeding schemes and other outreach programmes helping disadvantaged communities, which is something close to the hearts of both Carl and Mike.

Give it up for our May cover star! We loved our time chatting with @hanrielues

As we edge closer to Mother’s Day, whether we are mums or not, most of us reflect on how we have been affected by the role of motherhood through our own mums - by the pain of their loss or the impact of their presence. This is Hanrie Lues’ story.
When I think back to my mom when I was a child, I have very few memories of her smiling. My dad and I were inseparable, but I grew up always feeling disconnected from my mom, often thinking it was my fault; that I had done something to make her reject me. It took me a very long time to understand that she suffered from chronic depression and that I wasn’t to blame. Even so, as an only child especially, it affected me every day,” says Hanrie, a popular and well-liked figure in the bridal world and a mixed media artist in her spare time. Read Hanrie’s full story on our website – link in bio.

Marvellous May has arrived, and that means we're celebrating moms … and everything bridal!

When it comes to amazing moms, our May cover girl, Hanrie Lues, is just that. As a busy mom juggling permanent wedding fever as a bespoke bridal gown designer, she shares the humility and beauty of new beginnings and embracing life as a single mum. We also chat to Summerveld retiree Heather Partner who is MAD about making a difference in the lives of young and old.

Since we’re all about wedding bells this month, our annual bridal feature is filled with oodles of inspiration to help you plan your big day ... from beauty bridal kits and jewellery-inspired fashion to colour palettes and trends and a romantic rail safari for after you say, ‘I do’. To top it off, we toast to extra special bubbles with a giveaway or two.

So, please get your hands on our May edition at your local distribution point or read us online! Our digital flip-through edition is available online, visit our website, link in bio.

Happy reading!
