Half a dozen thrilling reads for <strong>Sep</strong>tember<br />
‘It was a good day to be free of prison.’ So begins David Baldacci’s One Good Deed<br />
... his latest release which, as always, keeps readers’ adrenalin running high. When<br />
Aloysius Archer gets out of prison, he heads for Poca City, with just the clothes he’s<br />
wearing and an appointment with his parole officer. A chance meeting sees him<br />
offered a job as a debt collector - but all’s not above board, and if Aloysius wants to<br />
avoid heading back behind bars, he’s got his work cut out for him. Macmillan, R299.<br />
• A new home in the suburbs offers a fresh start to a family of four. It’s in a quiet,<br />
leafy road, with good schools, and is close to the sea and a comfortable commute<br />
to London. Perfect. All bar the fact that it appears to be the hunting ground for<br />
a serial killer. Fiona Cummins’ The Neighbour is as thrilling as it gets. Macmillan,<br />
R290 • Blood in the Water by Jack Flynn is set in Boston’s underworld, where the<br />
harbour chief, his 19-year-old daughter and a homeland security agent are caught<br />
up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with international terrorists. Macmillan, R299<br />
Tom Kennedy and his young son, Jake,<br />
have just moved to a quiet village,<br />
hoping to heal the hurt after the loss<br />
of their wife and mum. The place they<br />
choose to live, Featherbank, has a dark<br />
past ... 15 years before, a serial killer,<br />
known as The Whisper Man, abducted<br />
and murdered five young boys.<br />
The killer was caught, and this history<br />
doesn’t worry Tom and Jake. Until another<br />
boy goes missing. And Jake says<br />
he hears whispering at his window.<br />
Described as gripping, moving and<br />
brilliantly creepy ... an outstanding new<br />
psychological thriller. Penguin, R290<br />
In a large house in London’s fashionable<br />
Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot.<br />
Well-fed and cared for, she’s happily<br />
waiting for someone to pick her up.<br />
In the kitchen lie three decomposing<br />
corpses, with a hastily scrawled note.<br />
The three have been dead for several<br />
days. So who’s looking after the baby?<br />
There’s little better than finding a new<br />
Lisa Jewell book on the shelves ... The<br />
Family Upstairs is just FABULOUS.<br />
Penguin, R290<br />
Also look out for ...<br />
Daisy and Simon’s marriage is great,<br />
particularly after the arrival of longedfor<br />
daughter Millie. A happy little family<br />
of three. So what if Simon drinks a bit<br />
too much every now and then ... as<br />
Daisy says, he’s just letting off steam.<br />
Then one night at a party, things spiral<br />
horribly out of control ... Adele Parks’<br />
Lies Lies Lies is all about relationships,<br />
marriage and secrets. A great read.<br />
Harper Collins, R305<br />

Just set your<br />
MIND TO IT<br />
At the age of 31, artist Marcia Goodchild survived a horrific car accident after which she had<br />
to learn to walk, talk and write again. Today, 10 years later, she is living her passion in front<br />
of her easel, busy painting. We visited the artist at her cosy home in Benoni.<br />
Marcia is a brave woman who despite her serious injuries fought<br />
to survive for her son, Jean, who was then a four-year-old toddler.<br />
She was in a coma for 28 days and spent five months in hospital<br />
and rehab. She suffered brain, lung, shoulder, ear, bladder and<br />
pelvis injuries.<br />
It took her 18 months to learn to<br />
walk again and more than a year’s<br />
speech therapy before she could<br />
speak properly.<br />
The rehabilitation period was long and<br />
painful. “I could not believe how weak I<br />
became. My thoughts varied from ‘I’m not<br />
going to survive’ to ‘I have to survive for<br />
Jean’. My survival mode kicked in and no<br />
matter how painful and exhausted I was<br />
after treatments and how many tears I<br />
shed, I was determined to give and do anything<br />
in my power to be the best Marcia I<br />
can be after the accident. My loving family<br />
supported me through the trying times<br />
and my dear mother, Christa Goodchild, was the strong one who<br />
encouraged me and pushed me through all the exercises when I<br />
was ready to give up. Through times of despair, tears and pain she<br />
was my pillar of strength,” Marcia recalls.<br />
Every day was a step closer to Marcia’s goal and today, looking<br />
back at what happened, she is filled with gratitude and appreciation<br />
for life. She met the love of her life, Wessel Rody, a couple of<br />
You can’t take<br />
anything for<br />
granted – your life<br />
can change within<br />
the blink of an eye<br />
years ago. In 2017 they booked their wedding at Summer Place in<br />
Boksburg. Unfortunately, what was to be the biggest day of her life<br />
had to be cancelled.<br />
Due to complications with a bladder injury that she suffered<br />
during the accident, she needs a pacemaker for her bladder to<br />
function normally. Unfortunately her body<br />
rejected the pacemaker just before the wedding.<br />
It was only in January this year that she<br />
received a pacemaker which her body did<br />
not reject.<br />
The biggest lesson she learned is that you<br />
can’t take anything for granted – your life<br />
can change within the blink of an eye. “I am<br />
more careful and I live in the moment. My<br />
relationship with God became very strong<br />
as I know that he carried me through,” she<br />
says. Marcia now appreciates all things in<br />
life, most of all the things that cost nothing,<br />
such as the beauty of a flower, birds singing,<br />
seeing her son grow up to be a handsome<br />
teenager and experiencing the love of her family.<br />
The woman who I had the honour of chatting to can walk again,<br />
her speech is back to normal and her eyes are soft with gratitude<br />
and love for life and her family. We are holding thumbs that wedding<br />
bells will soon ring for her and her fiancé.<br />

Marcia the artist<br />
Nine years ago she was a part-time<br />
artist, but after the accident she was<br />
medically boarded and is now living<br />
out her passion as a full-time artist.<br />
She is a member of the Benoni Art<br />
Route and handles its blog on benoniartroute.co.za.<br />
She also belongs to<br />
Artist Working Together in Benoni.<br />
Who taught you to paint? I have<br />
painted since I was a little girl. My<br />
father and grandfather were artists<br />
and I learned from them. I took art as<br />
a subject in school and I won many<br />
art competitions, but I never took<br />
art classes.<br />
What kind of themes do you like<br />
to paint? I love to paint flowers,<br />
women and faces. I like my paintings<br />
to be sensual and colourful.<br />
What is your goal with your<br />
paintings? I want to become a<br />
household name<br />
Her message to Get it readers is:<br />
“You can do anything if you set your<br />
mind to it.”<br />

How did your fitness<br />
journey unfold?<br />
I was always relatively body conscious<br />
and even suffered from anorexia<br />
for a period of time. So, after<br />
I decided to change careers from<br />
modelling and dancing, bodybuilding<br />
was a natural progression.<br />
When did you join Virgin Active<br />
as a fitness trainer?<br />
In 2009 after doing many personal<br />
training and fitness courses<br />
as well as delving deeply into<br />
sports nutrition.<br />
What was the most difficult challenge<br />
to get your body into tiptop<br />
condition for the IBFF World<br />
Championships?<br />
The long periods of strict dieting,<br />
as I compete from March<br />
right through until the end<br />
of November.<br />
How do you stay focused?<br />
One has to have a passion for this<br />
sport, otherwise it would be<br />
really tough.<br />
What is the key to your success?<br />
Dedication, dedication, dedication.<br />
At what age would you like to<br />
stop competing?<br />
Never! I want to live my passion<br />
until I die!<br />
How long before a competition do<br />
you need to go on a diet?<br />
At least 12 to 16 weeks.<br />
What are you allowed to eat?<br />
Skinless fish, chicken and broccoli,<br />
broccoli and then more broccoli.<br />
Basmati rice is a treat on the odd occasion,<br />
and loads of water.<br />
What is your favourite dish to<br />
indulge in after a competition?<br />
Peanut butter sandwich with coffee<br />
… it sounds simple but bread is a<br />
huge no-no, so it’s a bite of heaven.<br />
What do you do to relax if you are<br />
not in the gym?<br />
Spending quality time with my circle<br />
of close friends, enjoying a glass of<br />
wine. And visiting my boyfriend, Roberto<br />
Frassica, in Italy during off times<br />
is extremely relaxing and important<br />
to me.<br />
What are your guilty pleasures?<br />
Chocolate, for sure, and condensedmilk<br />
coffee.<br />
What are the values you live by?<br />
Honesty, hard work and not being<br />
afraid to follow my dreams.<br />
52<br />
champ<br />
at<br />
The woman voted as having the best body in the world<br />
World<br />
for her age group lives in Boksburg and is already<br />
working on her next challenge. We talk to Penny<br />
Wilbers, from Sunward Park, who was crowned world<br />
champion after winning in the over-50 category at the<br />
IBFF World Championships in Italy recently.<br />
o be crowned as the best in the world is a dream come<br />
true. “I’m excited, I’m thrilled and I’m proud of myself<br />
for my achievement, especially at my age. The fact that I<br />
could represent South Africa on the world stage was an<br />
honour and a privilege – a highlight in my life,” she says with a<br />
huge smile.<br />

my little princess,” says the proud granny.<br />
Penny realised in Grade 10 that she likes to challenge herself and her body<br />
to see how hard she can push it. She became a professional dancer and<br />
model and danced for the SABC for a number of years.<br />
Years ago she also owned a modelling school, Cosmic Modelling, in<br />
Parkrand, Boksburg.<br />

Twin sisters Fatima Sydow and<br />
Gadija Sydow Noordien bring the<br />
taste of South African Malay-style<br />
cooking to your kitchen in this<br />
spicy new cookbook, Cape, Curry<br />
& Koesisters. You’ll find recipes<br />
for masalas, soups, light meals<br />
and snacks (samoosas or pickled<br />
salmon and onion salad, anyone?).<br />
Rice, sambals and atchar feature (of<br />
course), followed by the big guns<br />
of curry, breyani and ahkni. Here we<br />
dithered happily between butter<br />
chicken curry, frikkadel curry, slow<br />
- braised lamb chops with apricot<br />
chutney, and steak and potato<br />
braise. All look too, too scrumptious<br />
for words. Puds like melk tart and<br />

(koesisters coming up), round off the<br />
book in diet-breaking style. Human &<br />

in their book are fresh, wholesome, colourful, seasonal and ‘mostly’ healthy ... so<br />
while there are indulgent dishes and treats, they keep everything as balanced<br />
and as inclusive as possible ... so also loads of sugar-free, gluten-free recipes,<br />
delicious vegetarian options and there are tasty vegan food. Penguin, R300<br />

In Summer Food, chef Tjaart Walraven<br />
celebrates the long, lazy days of<br />
our South African summer. With<br />
the emphasis on easy entertaining<br />
– including outdoor cooking – he<br />
includes everything from great<br />
breakfast dishes to kick off the day<br />
to sweet desserts to end it. Loads of<br />
background stories, great photos and<br />
plenty of tips ... we love summer, and<br />
we love this cookbook. Penguin, R350<br />
With an explosion of colour and<br />
taste, Jamie Oliver shows just<br />
how tasty veggie meals can be.<br />
The recipes in VEG will, he says,<br />
leave you feeling full, satisfied<br />
and happy – and not missing<br />
meat from your plate. From<br />
simple suppers and family faves<br />
to weekend dishes for sharing<br />
with friends, from embracing<br />
a meat-free day each week to<br />
living a vegetarian lifestyle, or<br />
for those simply just wanting to<br />
try some brilliant new flavour<br />
combos, VEG has something for<br />
everyone ... and it’s crammed<br />
with Jamie-style tips and tricks<br />
that will excite the taste buds.<br />
‘It’s all about celebrating really<br />
good, tasty food that just<br />
happens to be meat-free,’ he<br />
says. Penguin, R430<br />

the Western Cape, we love the culture<br />
of lingering, social lunch tables. We<br />
savour coming together to celebrate<br />
local, seasonal and sustainable<br />
ingredients’. Fortunately, you don’t<br />
have to live in the Cape to make,<br />

Winelands grape pizza bianca with<br />

Spring joy<br />
This month we are planting a new breed of impatiens that is resistant to mildew, as<br />
well as a verbena that blooms all the time.<br />
We’re planting… the new bedding impatiens ‘Beacon’ that blooms from spring to the first frost and is highly resistant to downy<br />
mildew. Busy Lizzies (Impatiens walleriana) used to fill shady gardens with their glorious blooms until the fungus disease wiped them<br />
out. We are delighted that a highly resistant variety of our favourite long-blooming plants has been bred. ‘Beacon’ does not require any<br />
special treatment. It does best in shade to semi-shade and requires well-composted soil and regular watering. Fertilise once a month<br />
with a liquid fertiliser to encourage plentiful flowers. Flower colours are bright red, orange, shades of violet, salmon, white and coral as<br />
well as a mix. This highly resistant impatiens is identifiable from other varieties by a colourful ‘Beacon’ label.<br />

Best for patios… Verbena peruviana<br />
‘Firehouse’ is perfect for hanging baskets and<br />
containers because it forms a mound of flowers<br />
that easily fills a hanging basket or patio planter.<br />
What’s different about this verbena is that it<br />
doesn’t cycle in and out of flowers – new flowers<br />
open as the old ones die. The foliage is tough<br />
and disease resistant, too. Place in a position<br />
that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.<br />
Baskets require daily watering in summer; containers,<br />
every second to third day. Fertilise with a<br />
liquid fertiliser for flowers twice a month. Plants<br />
are available in eight different colours, including<br />
purple fizz and lavender.<br />
The Joburg Clivia Club Show<br />
takes place on <strong>Sep</strong>tember<br />
14 and 15 at Garden World<br />
Nursery, Beyers Naudé Drive,<br />
Muldersdrift. Visiting times<br />
are from 8am till 4pm on<br />
Saturday and 8am to 2pm<br />

Garden tasks for August<br />
• Plant out summer annuals like salvias, marigold, bedding dahlias, gazanias, alyssum,<br />
dianthus and mimulus. Water the plant twice a week and fertilise with a liquid<br />
fertiliser once a month.<br />
• Grow annuals from seed for a big splash of colour, such as marigolds, alyssum, cosmos,<br />
cornflowers and lobelia as well as scatter packs, which are ready-made mixes of<br />
summer annuals for sun or shade.<br />
• Perennials that grow easily from seed include hollyhocks, Shasta daisies, asters,<br />
scabious, statice, sweet William, aquilegia, Arctotis and foxgloves.<br />
• Cut back or tidy up summer perennials to encourage new growth. Start watering<br />
more regularly and fertilise with 5:1:5, 3:1:5 or 8:1:5.<br />
• Feed irises with superphosphate. Cannas, daylilies, coreopsis and dahlias<br />
can still be divided and replanted into well-composted soil.<br />
• Amaryllis, daylilies and Louisiana irises can be planted from early <strong>Sep</strong>tember,<br />
but wait until the middle of <strong>Sep</strong>tember to plant Crocosmia and dahlias.<br />
• Keep watering spring-flowering bulbs and Liliums.<br />
• Fertilise flowering shrubs with 5:1:5 or 3:1:5 and foliage shrubs with 3:2:1.<br />
Trim winter flowering shrubs such as poinsettia.<br />
• If you didn’t do so last month, scarify, aerate, fertilise and water the lawn.<br />
Water once a week or every two weeks and mow weekly when necessary.<br />

BEACH HOUSE DREAMS<br />
There is something very special about the luxurious white holiday home that sits<br />
perfectly positioned on the Zinkwazi beach lagoon. The White House, as it’s known, is<br />
what beach house dreams are made of . . .<br />
Text: LEAH SHONE | Photographs: CHRIS ALLAN PHOTO / www.chrisallanphoto.co.za<br />
avish without being pretentious<br />
and reminiscent of a<br />
magnificent beach villa somewhere<br />
in Europe, the<br />
six-bedroom holiday<br />
home boasts incredible<br />
views over the<br />
Zinkwazi lagoon and the main beach<br />
of this quaint North Coast village.<br />
Sleeping up to 24 people, it offers private<br />
boat mooring and direct access<br />
to the main beach, as well as all of the<br />
modern conveniences one would<br />
expect from a home of this calibre.<br />
Here are our top five reasons to book<br />
a holiday at this beautiful ocean-side<br />
abode . . .<br />
32 Get It Joburg <strong>East</strong> <strong>Sep</strong>tember <strong>2019</strong><br />
Located on the Zinkwazi<br />
lagoon directly in front of the<br />
main beach, the views from the<br />
home are simply magnificent.<br />
GICE0906_032_244588086.indd 32<br />
<strong>2019</strong>/08/15 01:38:48 PM
5 reasons we adore The<br />
White House<br />
1THE SUPERB LOCATION<br />
The view, as you make your way<br />
through the elegant plantation<br />
shutter front doors, through<br />
the length of the house towards the<br />
deck, is nothing short of gasp-worthy.<br />
Situated on the lagoon in front of the<br />
main beach, you simply couldn’t ask<br />
for a better location for a beachside<br />
holiday. One can imagine spending<br />
hours in the warm summer sunshine,<br />
sprawled out on sunbeds alongside<br />
the swimming pool (set into the<br />
deck), watching as the kids frolic in<br />
the lagoon or swim across to main<br />
beach. A glass of bubbly in hand<br />
wouldn’t hurt, either.<br />
2THE MOD CONS<br />
Think automated, remotecontrolled<br />
rolling doors (and<br />
blinds), which open the home up<br />
completely to the exquisite 180-degree<br />
sea views, airconditioning in<br />
all the rooms, Wi-Fi, smart TV, two<br />
dishwashers and security alarm with<br />
both external and internal beams. This<br />
home has all the modern conveniences<br />
you need to ensure your coastal<br />
A welcome gift is waiting<br />
for you on arrival<br />
The oversized dining table and large wooden chandeliers<br />
add a wow factor to the contemporary coastal interior.<br />
getaway is comfortable and entirely<br />
relaxing. The home also comes fully<br />
serviced with a lovely permanent livein<br />
maid named Gloria, who is friendly<br />
and quick to offer help wherever<br />
needed.<br />
3THE STYLE<br />
With a contemporary coastal<br />
look and feel, the beautiful white<br />
and natural wood décor is perfectly<br />
complemented by the blue, grey<br />
and white subtly - nautical-inspired<br />
furniture. The massive solid-wood dining<br />
table and captivating, oversized<br />
wooden chandeliers add a wow factor<br />
to this otherwise clean, simple interior.<br />
4THE SPACE<br />
Two of the six bedrooms feature<br />
eight bunkbeds each, two have<br />
queen beds and the last two feature<br />
king-sized beds and views over the<br />
sea and lagoon with stacking doors<br />
that open out onto the deck. All the<br />
rooms have en-suite bathrooms and<br />
built-in wardrobes. This is the ideal<br />
location to spend family holidays with<br />
enough space for grannies and grandads<br />
and all the cousins.<br />
5THE LITTLE THINGS<br />
A lovely welcome gift waiting<br />
for you on arrival and a goodie<br />
bag packed with local magazines<br />
and pamphlets offering information<br />
about things to do in Zinkwazi and<br />
surrounding areas. A kitchen stocked<br />
with all the top-class appliances,<br />
crockery and accessories you need.<br />
Two ice machines. Staff who come<br />
in quietly and position the outdoor<br />
furniture and ensure everything is<br />
neat and tidy at the start of each day.<br />
It’s the small things, often, that really<br />
make a holiday memorable and, in<br />
this department, The White House<br />
comes out tops.<br />
The lovely Gloria is<br />
always there to help<br />
