Tracy and Marius Klokie are quite possibly one of the cutest couples on the planet. Over nearly three decades, they’ve have built not only a thriving business enterprise, but a family \u2013 two kids and a menagerie of cats and dogs \u2013 on a foundation of laughter, music, good food and love.<\/p>\n
Passionate, empathetic, quirky and feisty, Tracy is a woman with a mission to make a change. As the CEO of Khwezi Solutions (a BBBEE, equity and legal compliance consultancy) and Khwezi Developments (a Seta accredited training provider), Tracy is a fierce advocate for uplifting and supporting small businesses, particularly women in business. As a wife, mother and humanitarian, Tracy is changing the status quo on hunger and desperation by refusing to be a bystander. Since the start of lockdown, together with her best friend and partner in business and life, Marius, and her dedicated team, she has worked tirelessly to upskill and feed many families in the Embo area through her NGO Hearts in Hands, and continues to work hand-in-hand with community partners to make a difference in local communities.<\/p>\nPhoto: Amy White Media \u2022 Connective consulting: Kim Griffith Jones \u2022 MUAH: Lizzi from Accentuate Hair and Makeup Academy \u2022 Venue: Inchanga Railway Station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Truth be told, between running the business and the crazy-busy household they share with their daughter Trinity-Mia – their son Trent has flown the coop – and furry family members, there is little time for self-indulgent things. But, when they can clear their schedules, this salt-of-the-earth couple enjoy nothing more than to step outside the doors of their sea-facing, dream beach house in Pennington, to get a good dose of fresh ocean air, pop some bubbly and toast their beautiful friendship that is the foundation for their love story!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world tends to glamourise marriage, while the reality is that married life takes work. It took us eight years to tie the knot, but it was eight years that gave us time to get to know one another inside and out – to be friends, to be sure of what we wanted in life, to realise we were good together, to know we wanted a family, and to recognise that this was forever – there is no turning back.\u201d<\/p>\n
For 51-year-old Tracy, dependability, solid values and a good moral compass were what sealed the deal when it came to her falling head over heels for Marius.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was easy on the eye when we met 28 years ago. I liked that he was kind, and over time I learned what a truly incredible human he really is. I love his sense of calm, his protective nature and how he takes care of me and the kids and is our safe space.\u201d<\/p>\n
On meeting Tracy for the first time, Marius says he was fascinated by her.<\/p>\n
\u201cTracy is dynamic, confident in her abilities and a force to be reckoned with. She\u2019s creative, extroverted, outspoken, different and says it like it is. I often attend meetings with her and am blown away by her passion and versatility. I am her biggest cheerleader. What I am attracted to most is her caring nature and huge capacity to love and want to help others \u2026 and when she cooks the meals that she knows I love. She certainly knows the way to a my heart!\u201d<\/p>\nPhoto: Amy White Media \u2022 Connective consulting: Kim Griffith Jones \u2022 MUAH: Lizzi from Accentuate Hair and Makeup Academy \u2022 Venue: Inchanga Railway Station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The couple, who are passionate foodies and love entertaining, believe that no matter how\u00a0much or little you enjoy cooking,\u00a0cooking together goes a long way towards a strong relationship. Their cookbook Lockdown Recipes by the Kitchen King and Queen is a tribute to this.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe compiled the book during the pandemic as a means to connect during a difficult time and keep the anxiety at bay. We had copies printed and gifted them to family and friends as a keepsake of the best recipes we\u2019d tried our hands at during lockdown. Needless to say, we put on loads of weight LOL!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kitchen adventures aside, both agree that admiration and respect for one another, quality time together and acts of service\u00a0are their love languages.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a bucket list of things to do together – from a hot new eating spot we want to try or a local meander for the day, to a country we have been dying to explore,\u201d says Tracy, who adds that small gestures of kindness and appreciation between them have made a big difference to their lives. \u201cLike buying Marius the nougat I know he loves, or him getting me a peppermint crisp chocolate that he knows is my guilty pleasure. I wake up to a cup of coffee on my bedside table every morning that allows me to ease into my day. It\u2019s these small things that mean the most.\u201d<\/p>\nPhoto: Amy White Media \u2022 Connective consulting: Kim Griffith Jones \u2022 MUAH: Lizzi from Accentuate Hair and Makeup Academy \u2022 Venue: Inchanga Railway Station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The couple, who celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary in May, are big on marking this occasion, using it as an excuse to take some much-needed time off of work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had the most incredible anniversary last year. We celebrated in Thailand for 10 days with two other couples who are close friends. It was our first trip away without kids. We rode scooters, went out to sky bars for fine dining and drinks, visited local eateries and had cocktails, did loads of site-seeing, made incredible memories, reconnected with each other and truly fell in love all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year they\u2019re taking the kids along and heading to Vietnam for the memory-making.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe older we get, the less we are about gifts and, the more we are about experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
And speaking of gifts, although Valentine\u2019s Day is around the corner, the couple say they don\u2019t really make a big deal about the occasion or the kinds of gestures that most might exchange over breakfast in bed or a romantic dinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither of us has ever been particularly enamoured with the idea that romance and love is limited to one day. We consistently make time for romance and date nights during the year, as we love a good excuse to enjoy cocktails and Thai cuisine, or stay home and open a bottle of Champagne or wine, and have a family sushi date night.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to keeping the romance alive, two kids and all these years down the line, Tracy and Marius say bubble baths, downing tech time and a united front are a must.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our busy lives, and the kid\u2019s schedules, it is important that we put down our phones and be in the moment as a family. As a couple, a good series in bed, a quick coffee date, being in the kitchen, shopping, and beach walks with the dogs, are regular habits we enjoy as a means of spending quality time together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tracy and Marius also say that knowing and encouraging one another to enjoy the things they are individually most passionate about, is key to a happy married life.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarius knows I love gardening and reading and encourages me to do these things to decompress. He loves cycling, exercising and getting into the water. I love it when he is able to find the time for these things that fill his cup. When you do life with your best friend, it really can be fairly easy and uncomplicated. This genuinely has been the most incredible journey together. God willing, we will be afforded another 24 years together.\u201d<\/p>\nPhoto: Amy White Media \u2022 Connective consulting: Kim Griffith Jones \u2022 MUAH: Lizzi from Accentuate Hair and Makeup Academy \u2022 Venue: Inchanga Railway Station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Quickfire<\/strong><\/p>\n
If your better half was a drink \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
Marius: Tracy would definitely be a shooter, probably a Tequila or J\u00e4ger shot, because she\u2019s fun and full of mischief.<\/p>\n
Tracy: Marius would be a Black Label draught or a rum and coke – solid and dependable.<\/p>\n
The last message you sent to one another \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
We live and work together, so we don\u2019t really have a need to send each other messages. If we do, it\u2019s usually a reminder to action something work-related or about the kids. Not very romantic, but it\u2019s reality. We do have a mischievous side to us, and send each other naughty gifs and memes when we are in company though LOL!<\/p>\n
The first gift you ever got from one another \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
Tracy: Flowers. And it\u2019s something that has perpetuated throughout our relationship. Not on birthdays or anniversaries, but constantly and out the blue for no reason other than because he knows I love flowers, especially sunflowers. He also gave me a kitchen dustbin, because it bothered him that I didn\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n
Marius: I got a really nice fragrance. Tracy has always appreciated a man who smells nice.<\/p>\n
