Brilliant reads to enjoy over the weekend
In Love in a Lost Land by James MacManus, a foreign correspondent arrives in Africa to report on a nationalist insurgency … an innocent newcomer, he struggles to stay neutral in what is a bitter way waged with terror on both sides. Meanwhile, he begins an affair with a young township teacher – one that is tested when he discovers she is recruiting her students to join the guerrillas and helping to smuggle them across the border. A love story set against terror and atrocities from an author who once was a foreign correspondent in France, Africa and Middle East. Whitefox Publishing

Alistair MacKay’s The Child. After suffering a mental breakdown and losing his job at a New York advertising agency, a young man returns to Cape Town with his husband. The plan? To adopt a child … someone to love as the world around them falls apart. But as the adoption gets underway, his marriage and sense of self begin to unravel, and his life becomes increasingly enmeshed with his domestic worker and her young daughter. Lies, violence, and trauma all endanger the new beginning he hoped for. Kwela Books

The Dream About Sinking by Aleksandar Bajić. Being young, female and white in South Africa … if life was a poker game, Nadine has all the aces. She’s a candidate attorney with a loving boyfriend and a brilliant career ahead. But an apparently chance encounter with a young woman who’s trying to escape from a police raid at a strip club where she works sets in motion a chain of events that show her life’s not what she expected, and that she doesn’t know herself as well as she thought she did.

All books available from Exclusive Books.

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for crea

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for creating atmosphere, while mopping up stale air and toxins. There’s probably more than 5 reasons why indoor trees work so well as an indoor décor feature, but here are five that come to mind:
- Indoors or out, trees are a living sculpture. When grown indoors they add a finishing touch to a room or act as a focal point (much as they would do in the garden).
- There’s nothing like living greenery to bring a room to life, especially in winter when everything outside is turning brown.
- The texture of their stems and the various shades of green foliage complement rather than clash with indoor colour schemes. The secret is to match the tree (and its container) to your décor style’.
- They provide height in airy, double volume spaces, fill awkward corners or frame a window.
- Because of the volume of their foliage, indoors trees are particularly effective in purifying stale air and removing toxins.

Tips for indoor trees:
- For even growth turn the container (1/4 turn) every week, to equally expose all sides to the light.
- Re-pot every two years or so into the next sized pot until it reaches the right height, then trim to keep it in proportion to the container.
- Don’t move trees too often as they acclimatise to their surroundings.
- Use room temperature water when watering.
- Whatever you choose, go for show. Let the trees dominate their space. Keep it simple and let there be plenty of air and light around them, so that they stand out.

The discovery of the late Anthonij Rupert’s packaging notes and mock-ups was the departure point for realising his dream and producing the Cap Classique range on L’Ormarins Estate. After his passing, his brother, Johann, continued the dream, with the L’Ormarins Private Cuvée (R475) is envisioned as the pinnacle of the range, and is an exceptionally elegant, sophisticated option for grand celebrations.
