family is financially ruined by the institutions they

It’s not theft... it’s payback. Andy McNab’s Whatever

crusade falls foul of the people who own most 

of the world’s wealth. It’s packed with relentless 

action that (scarily) shows the world as it really 

is. Bantam Press, R297. • Adam Hamdy’s Black 13 

could well be the most frightening book you’ll 

read all year. Why? Because it‘s about the way 

hate, generated by radical extremists, is the 

world’s rising - and most terrifying - destroyer.

The art of celebrating food 

It’s a bit of a leap from ballet dancer to acclaimed chef, but Lorna 

Maseko has happily pirouetted into this new role in her cookbook, 

Celebrate With Lorna Maseko. Part memoir, part travel journal, 

plus luscious recipes, it’s a book you can enjoy reading, as well as 

use (lovely photos too). We found scrummy dishes like chicken 

Wellington; herb-crusted lamb; king prawns in a wine and chilli 

sauce; all of which come with delectable sides. Something light? Try 

a beef teriyaki, avocado, goat’s cheese and charred peach salad, while 

vegetarians can tuck into cauliflower steaks with chimichurri and 

ricotta, or even tasty roasted parsnips. Simple sweet treats include 

mini pavlovas; yogurt-coated strawberries; G&T and mint-grapefruit 

popsicles; watermelon champagne granita with lime, whipped cream 

and pomegranate. From easy and inexpensive to blow-the-budget 

dishes, you’ll find celebrating with this cookbook loads of interesting 

fun. Human & Rousseau, R360.

Text: MELLISSA BUSHBY. Photographer: TANYA ERASMUS 

It’s a fact that most 

mothers would give an 

arm and a leg to save their 

child, and the same thing 

can be said for a kidney. 

This is the story behind 

mother and daughter 

Laetitia Janse van Vuuren 

and Jeané Petzer, who 

speak to us about the 

importance of patience, 

giving and the strength of 

family ties. 

jeané, a diabetic for most 

of her life, is no stranger 

to hospitals. In November 

2018, just before her sister 

Dominique’s wedding (at which 

she was a bridesmaid), she fell ill 

and ended up in hospital. Checks 

confirmed that her kidneys were 

not functioning as they should have. 

Terrified she would miss her sister’s 

wedding, this news came as a huge 

blow to Jeané. However, the count 

stabilised, and she was allowed to 

go home. She made it through the 

wedding, but only just. 

Exhausted and weak, Jeané’s 

transplant was scheduled for two 

weeks later. This was a tough time 

for the family. She felt at her lowest 


point ever. Constantly tired, she felt 

drained and sick; and worried over 

what the future would hold. Laetitia 

remembers the time all too well. 

“You know when you get so used 

to seeing someone that you don’t 

notice significant changes in them? 

That’s how it was; we saw her all 

the time, so we didn’t notice just 

how yellow and worn her face had 

become.” 

‘I gave her 

life, and now 

I could give 

her a second 

chance at 

that life’ 

When the question was asked as 

to who would donate the kidney, 

Laetitia didn’t hesitate. “I mean, I’m a 

mother, obviously I would do it. I had 

healthy kidneys, I’m not a drinker or 

a smoker, and I was also the perfect 

donor. The fact that my kidneys were 

in such good condition and also a 

99,9% match felt to me as though 

it was my calling. I gave her life, and 

now I could give her a second chance 

at that life.” 

Wiaan and Jeané Petzer 

Daughter and mom in hospital 

Jeané smiles, “We had to go through 

strict psychiatric counselling, which is 

routine in cases such as this. We also 

had to endure a barrage of physical 

tests. Luckily, we are both strong 

and healthy, and we were given the 

green light almost immediately.” As 

a diabetic, Jeané had to have an 

angiogram, which in itself can cause 

problems, especially in a renal patient. 

It took away at least half of her 

remaining kidney function, making 

the operation even more crucial. 

“The fear of the unknown is what got 

to us the most,” they both agree. “Not 

knowing what would happen, I just 

wanted everything to be over. The 

uncertainty was horrible, and so was 

the fact that I was so weak. I couldn’t 

walk up the stairs without having to 

stop and rest; I had no strength at all. 

But in the end all went well. 

“I am so blessed to have the husband 

I have. Wiaan was thrown in the deep 

end a bit. As soon as things became 

serious between us, I had to tell him 

I am a diabetic, and then that I had 

kidney failure! He took it all in his 

stride and has had to learn so much 

in such a short time.” 

While Wiaan was the support that 

Jeané needed, her father Jacques was 

the rock. “One day his daughter was 

getting married, and then soon after 

both his wife and other daughter had 

to go in for serious surgery!” Laetitia 

laughs when she recounts just how 

anxious he was. “At one stage the 

doctor came out and told him the 

kidney had been rejected, and then 

walked away. It was only a temporary 

setback; one of the valves was closed 

and just needed to be flushed with 

water. But no one thought to go 

back and tell him, so for seven hours 

the poor man sat there and worried 

himself sick.” 

Physically, the hardest part for Laetitia 


was the medication she had to take 

afterwards. "For two days I was a 

complete zombie, and I said to the 

doctor, no more painkillers. And I was 

completely fine without them. From 

start to finish, God has held us in His 

hand, we have learnt to simply put 

our faith in Him. 

‘Everything 

happened as it 

was meant to’ 

“Things don’t happen only when 

you want them to, and life doesn’t 

always work out the way you want 

it to, and you have to make peace 

with that. Everything happened 

as it was meant to. My recovery 

was rapid, although I did feel the 

absence of the missing kidney in 

the beginning, the empty space. But 

the other organs moved around, 

compensating for it, and after a 

while it was all back to normal. I really 

Jacques Janse van Vuuren, the rock of the family, and his three girls 

experienced absolutely no adverse 

effects. For a while I didn’t go to 

gym because of the scarring, and I’ll 

never be able to lift a kettlebell over 

my head again, but then, you know 

what? Been there, done that!” 

Jeané had a somewhat more difficult 

time, both because of her diabetes 

and because she was the one who 

received the organ. “In the beginning 

I had to take 32 pills,” she says. “I still 

take them, but now it’s down to 

eight. I have to take the anti-rejection 

pills for the rest of my life; my body 

can, at any time, reject the kidney. 

The best way to explain it is to say my 

code and my mother’s code are not 

the same and the body will always 

want to go back to the code it knows. 

But so far, so good; everything went 

just as planned.” 

Laetitia is quick to say the best thing 

Family is everything

Laetitia and Jacques 

for her was waking up and seeing her daughter’s face and 

the colour that had returned to her cheeks; that was when 

she realised how sick Jeané had been. They point out that 

their experience is not necessarily the same as anyone 

else’s. Each case is different, with varying contributing 

factors. However, it is important for them to get the 

message out there that it isn’t a death sentence, and life 

can carry on just the same as before. 

There are certain precautions that Jeané especially needs 

to take, such as getting enough sleep, minimal stress, 

eating healthily (which is something she does anyway 

due to her diabetes), drinking filtered water and having 

minimal contact with people who are ill. And because the 

new kidney is in front and not nestled protectively under 

the ribs, she also needs to avoid contact sport. But, being 

a teacher by trade, she misses the boisterousness of the 

kids all around her and cannot wait to get back to it. 

The diabetes is more of a problem for Jeané than the 

kidney. Because of it, there are many factors that can 

influence her well-being on a daily basis. But she’s been 

living with it for nearly 20 years, and says it’s manageable. 

“It can be a real pain. I can’t tell you how many events 

we’ve had to cancel because my insulin pump stopped 

working or my sugar wasn’t right, and it always seems to 

happen on a weekend. Then it’s back to hospital, back 

onto a drip. So, I might very well consider a pancreas 

transplant in the future, but for now I just want one year 

that I don’t have to stay in a hospital!” 

She laughs, but the underlying note of steely 

determination says it all. This young woman is sick of 

sterile hospital rooms, drips and tests. She just wants to be 

in her own home, spending time with her new husband 

and enjoying her good health. And glowing with vigour 

and vitality as she is, it certainly looks as if this time, her 

wish will come true.

black dog 

Many people are hounded by 

the dark reality of depression. 

Specialist psychiatrist Tshilidzi 

Manyage of Mbombela talks 

about this debilitating illness 

and her passion for treating 

those who suffer from it. 

Tshilidzi Manyage 

Text: LIEZEL LÜNEBURG. Photographer: TANYA ERASMUS 

Tshilidzi grew up in Lwamondo, Venda 

as the eldest of five siblings. “My 

parents raised us to value education 

and to be independent individuals with 

strong moral values. My father sadly 

passed away seven years ago, but his 

teachings and wisdom inspire me to 

this day.” 

As it goes in Africa, she was not only 

raised by loving parents, but also, true 

to tradition, by the whole village. They 

taught her to have humility and respect 

for her elders. 

After finishing matric, she first obtained 

a BSc degree at the University of Venda 

and then a degree in medicine at the 

University of KwaZulu-Natal. She later 

specialised in psychiatry at Sefako 

Makgatho Health Sciences University, 

better known as Medunsa. 

Tshilidzi developed a passion for people 

suffering from mental health issues while 

doing her internship and community 

service at Themba Hospital. She also 

saw the debilitating impact of mental 

illness on family dynamics in the village 

she grew up in, and realised that she 

could provide much-needed care by 

specialising in psychiatry. 


Depression is a stark reality and 

Tshilidzi deals with it on a daily basis. 

One of the contributing factors is 

denial. “It is wise to remember that 

a human being consists of a mind, 

a soul, and a physical body. People 

are more inclined to seek help for 

illnesses of the body while the soul 

always gets left behind and mental 

illness is unattended.” 

The only way to remedy this is for 

people to realise that depression 

is an illness. Sylvia Plath accurately 

describes this concept in The Bell 

Jar: “I wanted to tell her that if only 

something were wrong with my 

body it would be fine, I would rather 

have anything wrong with my body 

than something wrong with my head, 

but the idea seemed so involved and 

wearisome that I didn’t say anything.” 

South Africa has seen a rise in the 

frequency of depression and anxiety 

over the past few years and according 

to the South African College of 

Applied Psychology, as many as one 

in six people suffers from it. 

The illness affects people of all 

racial groups and socioeconomic 

backgrounds. “The current dire 

state of the South African economy 

is impacting heavily on mental 

well-being. Most people are facing 

unemployment, and managing 

a household has become extremely 

difficult. 

“Unfortunately, economic suffering 

leads to other problems, 

for instance domestic violence, crime, 

divorce, child abuse, and chronic 

disease. These factors slowly affect 

our mental well-being, which over 

time leads to depression and anxiety.” 

Notwithstanding the huge 

prevalence and the fact that 

education has come a long way in 

debunking the myths, many South 

Africans still suffer in silence. Stigma is 

seen as the main culprit. 

“We do not want people to know 

about our struggles and weaknesses,” 

Tshilidzi explains. Education should 

focus on replacing the stigma and 

preconceived ideas by having 

understanding and empathy. 

All people should work towards 

accepting and confronting mental 

health issues and help the helpless 

without passing judgment. 

The fact that people are slowly 

becoming more and more aware of 

the devastating impact of depression 

and anxiety is, however, hopeful. 

On the question of how Tshilidzi 

preserves her own mental well-being, 

she answers, “I try to spend as much 

time as possible with my husband 

and two boys. I also love reading and 

have recently taken up gardening.” 

She finds it important to be on her 

own, and simply appreciates life as 

it is.

climbing, the Lowveld 

surrounds have top-class 

options: Emgwenya (Waterval 

Boven), Crocodile River at the 

Lowveld National Botanical Garden, 

Bundu Lodge and Kaapsehoop. 

Indoor climbing options are few 

and far between, which makes C4 a 

welcome addition to Mbombela. 

George and local climber Barry Brits 

came up with the idea to build 

18 Get It Lowveld March 2020 

the stadium’s facility, C4 Climbing 

Conditioning Core Coaching. It is 

more of a bouldering cave than a fully 

fledged climbing gym, but George 

has plans to expand the facility in the 

near future. 

“There are three disciplines 

in climbing,” George explains. 

“Bouldering, where you don't have 

any ropes, speed climbing and 

lead, where you need stamina and 

endurance. It is like hurdles, sprinting 

and long distance running.” His plan 

is to add speed and lead climbing 

walls at the stadium. He illustrates 

his vision with a video on his 

phone; a world champion climbing 

a 15-metre high wall under six 

seconds. 

George is in charge of commercial 

rights for Sport Unplugged, he 

is the rights and sponsorship 

consultant of the Mpumalanga 

Rugby Union and was the CEO of

Ellis Park Stadium for eight years. His 

wife, Jackie, is the Alphas Climbing 

Team coach. “There are different 

age groups, but she trains about 40 

children in Johannesburg,” George 

explains. Due to school holidays, only 

six male climbers aged between 14 

and 17 came on the training camp to 

the Lowveld early in December 2019. 

Five of the six youngsters have 

national colours in climbing. Some 

have been climbing for five years, 

but most have only been at it 

competitively for roughly two. “They 

are absolutely climbing mad. They 

have excelled because they are 

dedicated. They are also light framed 

and they have that ideal power-toweight 

ratio,” George adds. “Jackie 

has four- to five-year-olds climbing 

for fun. If you can get them to enjoy 

it from that age until they are 10, 

then they will mushroom.” There are 

roughly 25 kids from the Lowveld 

who regularly use the facility. 

The C4 climbing gym has 

MoonBoards, which are panelled 

climbing walls set with a selection 

of numbered holds, consisting of 

crimps, pinches, slopers and pockets. 

“The angle and orientation is the 

same throughout the world and 

you have different colours,” George 

explains, while opening a MoonBoard 

app on his phone. There are different 

colour coordinated routes and 

various gradings or difficulty levels. 

The benefits 

are manifold; 

not only 

for physical 

strength and 

control, but 

mentally too 

Nathan Berlin at Mbombela Stadium's C4 climbing facility 

One of the athletes shows us how it’s 

done, climbing to the top of the wall 

and hanging only from their hands, 

feet swinging away from the board. 

“We call that to cut-loose,” another 

climber explains. “You have to start as 

well as finish with two hands on the 

hold,” George adds. 

The benefits of climbing are 

manifold; not only for physical 

strength and body control, but 

mentally too. “After six months 

of climbing, every one of these 

children's school results have 

improved. It is about thinking 

through the process and outside 

the box. You need concentration 

to follow the colours. When you are 

outdoors, you have to memorise 

the routes. It is also a mental 

strength, because you are more 

exposed.” 

George believes one of the 

main benefits is that it offers kids 

something else to excel at, besides 

the mainstream sports at schools. 

“Not all children want to play rugby. 

Some might be shy, they don't like 

the physical contact or they just 

don't have that type of hand-eye 

coordination.” 

Climbing helps for confidence 

building too, something he has 

noticed in the young team. It is also 

a great sport for the entire family to 

enjoy; you don’t have to be at the 

same level to climb together, unlike 

cycling or running. 

George’s interest in the sport was 

sparked when his daughter started 

climbing at school and Jackie 

started coaching her. “She was one 

of the first climbers to go to the 

Youth Olympics in 2014. That was 

when climbing was first showcased 

at the Olympics.” He says sports like 

climbing, roller-skating, surfing and 

parkour are brought on board due 

to younger audiences and change 

in viewership. 

They want some of the Alphas 

climbers to compete at the 2020 

Africa Continental Cup at CityROCK 

in Cape Town this month. “Only 

20 people over the age of 16 can 

compete, and the winner of that 

goes to the Olympics,” George 

explains, excited for what the 

future holds. If you are excited 

too, there is a R250 joining fee at 

C4 (which includes registration 

at the South African National 

Climbing Federation) and monthly 

membership costs only R100.

Berenice Legg or Berry, as she is affectionately known, jokingly calls herself a 

fervent feeder. She loves to spoil you with home-made confectionery, carefully 

made with the highest quality ingredients. To see one of her guests enjoy 

something that was carefully prepared in her kitchen, gives her great joy. 

Berry and Peter Legg 

Text: ALITA STEENKAMP. Photographer: TANYA ERASMUS 

Berry, who now lives in Kaapsche 

Hoop, established her own company, 

Miz Gooz Berry, in 1997, in Gauteng. 

Since then she has built an excellent 

reputation with her chocolate cakes, 

confections and delicacies. It all 

started while she was furthering her 

studies in remedial education and 

wanted to earn some extra money. 

One day while she was walking past 

a coffee shop in a shopping centre in 

Boksburg, she noticed that the cakes 

on display looked dreadful. Berry 

then decided to take a chance and 

ask the manager if she could service 

the coffee shop with large blueberry 

muffins. The manager accepted 

her offer as he had been having 

problems with his supplier. Things 

suddenly changed for Berry. 

“I regard myself as somewhat cheeky 

and fearless. A couple of months 

prior to my approaching the coffee 

shop, I sourced a pan that baked 

large muffins and imported it from 

America. Those were the days before 

coffee shops offered large muffins in 

South Africa. My first batch of large 

blueberry muffins was made with 

tinned blueberries and they were 

an immediate success, so the coffee 

shop requested more. They also 

asked me to bake a Kahlúa pecan 

mousse cake. As I didn’t have a recipe 

for that, I contacted Kahlúa SA and 

asked them for a chocolate mousse 

recipe, which I adapted, using the 


Visit our 

website for 

this delicious 

recipe! 

Lemon chiffon cake 

best quality chocolate I could source 

at that time. Within two months I 

had to form a CC to keep up with all 

the orders that started coming in. I 

started purchasing fresh blueberries 

from Lydenburg especially for the 

muffins, which were trucked to 

Johannesburg,” Berry says. 

After working extremely hard for 

17 years to establish her unique food 

brand, Berry and her husband, Peter, 

decided to move to a quieter spot. 

They had lived in Dwaalboom when 

their children were small and always 

dreamt of going back to a “dorpie”. 

Peter did some work for Sappi and 

“discovered” Kaapsche Hoop, the 

small village high on the edge of the 

escarpment. They bought a property 

in Coetzee Street and worked on it 

before moving down a year later. 

The end result was not only a house 

where they would live in, but a 

charming B&B with three beautiful 

suites, The Nest, The Bird House and 

The Snug. The tea garden on the 

same premises followed. “I realised 

there was a demand for a tea garden 

in Kaapsche Hoop,” muses Berry. 

“Although I am a private person, I 

love people, and I love to feed them. 

People find comfort in food. They 

especially find solace in chocolate, 

particularly women,” she laughs. 

Although the tea garden and gift 

shop are not open every weekend, 

they are normally open the last 

weekend of every month and on 

public holidays. High teas, breakfasts, 

picnics, gift boxes, classes, as well as 

functions can be booked at other 

times. Berry sends out a broadcast 

on WhatsApp to a mailing list, as 

well as on her Facebook page, 

Miz Gooz Berry Kaapsche Hoop, 

to inform customers of dates and 

times. Although she specialises in 

decadent chocolate confections, she 

also creates extremely healthy raw 

confections. 

Diabetic as well as gluten-free, 

lactose-free and egg-free products 

are made to order. The menu is small, 

with wonderful home-made dishes 

made according to the season and, 

where possible, with locally sourced 

products. When you order tea, it is 

served in a beautiful bone china 

teapot and teacup. Miz Gooz Berry 

in Gauteng is still going strong, and 

Xanthe Weissnar at the Gauteng 

branch has since developed a special 

range of baby foods, called Miz Gooz 

Berry Junior Foods. 

“My food brand and the tea garden 

in Kaapsche Hoop offer quality foods, 

as well as service excellence,” says 

Berry. “The tea garden is tucked away, 

so I find that people enjoy relaxing 

in the garden and sometimes sit 

here for a few hours. You come here 

for a different experience. I love 

to spoil my clients, not only their 

diets. Healthy options are available. 

‘Chill, chat, chuckle and chomp’ is 

our motto! If a client has a specific 

dietary requirement, they can contact 

me two days before our open 

weekend and I will ensure that there 

is something that they can enjoy. I 

am so blessed to be able to do what 

I love and still love what I do after 

22 years. And, we have the freedom 

of living in the beautiful Kaapsche 

Hoop! What more could we ask for?”

Curb

Create a mini oasis on your doorstep 

with a planter box. 

Text: Lindi Botha 

Decorating the entrance to your home can be tricky if you have 

limited space or only a wall adjacent to the front door with which 

to work. This handy planter box offers an opportunity to 

green your entrance without the clutter of pot plants on the floor. 

For a fuss-free option, you can use artificial plants that won’t 

necessitate holes in the bottom of the box or the plastic lining. 

You will need 

• Laminated pine shelving of 2cm thickness, measuring 40cm x 60cm 

for the back piece. Another two planks measuring 40cm x 10cm 

each for the box and two planks of 10cm x 12cm for the sides. 

The base plank measures 36cm x 12cm. 

• PVC plastic sheet to line the box. 

• Wood glue. 

• Sanding block. 

• Wood nails. 

• Screws. 

• Gel stain in antique oak. 

• Pebbles. 

• Pot plants of your choice. 

Method 

1. Build the box by gluing the base to the four sides. Fasten with 

small wood nails. 

2. Glue the back board to the box and screw it into the box to secure. 

3. Drill holes at the bottom of the box for water drainage. 

4. Sand the planter to ensure it is smooth. 

5. Apply the gel stain to a damp cloth and rub onto the wood. 

6. Attach the whole box to the wall. 

7. Line with the box with the PVC plastic. Add the pebbles, some soil 

and your plant. 

For a bit of variety, you can use tomato box 

or palette wood for your planter. Dress it 

up or down, add a house number or leave 

it plain, you can even stack a few of these 

wooden planters in an old wheelbarrow 

for effect. Succulents, spekboom (all the 

rage at the moment) or herbs will all work 

as fillers. The sky is the limit! 


Saving the 

pepper bark 

Berries from the pepper bark tree are 

sought after for their medicinal value 

With the plight of rhinos having 

garnered an international 

outcry, it is hard to imagine any 

other species receiving more 

protection by armed guards. But 

the humble pepper bark tree, 

now almost extinct in its natural 

habitat, is fighting for survival. 

With the help of a group of 

tree experts, this African gem 

can be protected from possible 

extinction. 

Sappi distributes pepper bark trees to communities 

bordering the Kruger National Park 

Text: LINDI BOTHA 

The pepper bark is the only known tree under 

armed guard in a protected area in South Africa. 

Also known as the Warburgia salutaris, it was once 

widespread in southern Africa, but today it is rated 

as endangered by both the International Union 

for Conversvation of Nature and the South African 

National Biodiversity Institute (Sanbi) and is one of 

the special protected trees with the Department of 

Forestry. 

This tree’s greatest gift has unfortunately led to 

its demise, as its medicinal properties are highly 

sought after. The pepper bark, known for its 

pungent inner bark, is an evergreen tree that grows 

to between five and 10 metres in height. The 

numerous ailments that can potentially be treated 

with this species include fever, malaria, influenza 

and coughs and it is a natural antibiotic for chest 

infections. The tree is also used for the treatment of 

abdominal pain, constipation, cancer, rheumatism, 


urinary tract infections and stomach 

ulcers. It is applied topically to cuts, 

on the temples for headaches, and 

has been used as an aphrodisiac. 

More recently, it has been used in 

the treatment of HIV. Many of the 

medicinal claims of the tree have 

been scientifically confirmed, and 

is therefore sought after by western 

homeopathy for a number of 

ailments. 

Unsustainable poaching of 

components like bark, stems, roots 

and leaves have resulted in wild 

populations being placed under 

extreme threat. In South Africa, the 

species is predominantly found in 

protected areas and as ornamental 

trees in domestic gardens, with a 

small number of trees secretly found 

in their natural habitat. 

A Warburgia Working Group, 

consisting of scientists and naturalists 

from Sappi, the Agricultural Research 

Council in Mbombela, Sanbi 

Mbombela, SANParks and Twin 

Streams Nursery, who believe in 

the value of this tree, has created a 

project to invigorate wild plantations 

and educate communities about 

sustainable harvesting of its 

components, while still enabling it 

to flourish. 

The Warburgia project propagates 

seedlings for distribution and 

provides educational workshops at 

no charge in communities where the 

tree has been eradicated. It is also 

hoped that the wild populations will 

regenerate themselves naturally once 

not under direct threat and stress. 

The tree propagates well from fresh 

seed, but it is challenging for it to 

grow from cuttings, and in the wild 

under stress it holds back on seed 

production. Seed production is also 

low, and both the fruit and the seed 

are hosts to the larvae of a fruit fly 

species that causes immense damage 

and loss. 

Through the working group, these 

challenges have been resolved to a 

greater degree. Gene banks and seed 

orchards have been created and to 

date over 30 000 seedlings have 

been grown. Through the project, 

it has become acceptable to use 

leaves and twigs harvested from 

trees as young as four years old, thus 

not having to wait some 15 years to 

harvest the bark. 

Sappi’s expertise with growing trees 

has come in handy in the project 

and trials with cuttings rooted and 

transplanted into five-litre bags have 

proven successful. These are then 

distributed to communities with 

information on how to care for 

the plants. 

Sappi recently provided 1 025 

pepper bark trees to their staff and 

surrounding schools to be planted 

in their communities. They aim to 

produce around 10 000 plants per 

annum for distribution into the 

environment and are also planning 

the establishment of a two-hectare 

seed orchard for conservation of the 

species, where seed may in future 

be harvested. 

The success of the project has also 

seen its expansion into KwaZulu- 

Natal, Kingdom of eSwatini and 

Zimbabwe. 

Further value from the project is 

that an easy working template has 

been developed for endangered 

trees that are a challenge to 

grow. To this end work will soon 

commence on a project to conserve 

the Prunis africana or red stinkwood. 

Nicky Jones led the research at Sappi’s Shaw Research Centre 

to establish pepper bark tree cuttings

Magic of Makalali 

Some of the best sightings SA reserves can offer. Charismatic field guides. 

And charming bush textures. An authentic African experience awaits. 

From seeking big and small game to telling bushveld tales, the field 

guides take you on an extraordinary African adventure. 

There’s something wonderfully romantic about Makalali River Lodge, 

and the bathtubs that overlook the reserve are one of the highlights. 

Compiled by DANIELLA GRAHAM 

A Land Cruiser’s engine roars into 

action. Hippos groan. Buffaloes grunt. 

These are (some of ) the sounds of 

Africa. They recently surrounded us 

as we sat at a waterhole in the 

26 000-hectare Aha Makalali Private 

Game Reserve near Hoedspruit. 

What was that? A lion growling? No, it 

was someone’s stomach grumbling... 

time for sundowners. It wasn’t long 

before we were standing with a cool 

G&T in one hand, a stick of dry wors 

in the other. Aware of the wildness 

around us. 

On our first afternoon game drive we’d 

already spotted two of the Big 5 and, 

during our short stay, we’d go on to 

see a further two of these big game 

animals, as well as a pack of wild dogs 

hunting impalas. 

We couldn’t possibly take credit for 

spotting the game first - the field 

guides and trackers are excellent 

(they tell us they “eat their carrots”) 

and they’ve a great sense of humour. 

When the message “We want to 

see a spotted leopard,” reached our 

field guide during a game of broken 

telephone, he laughed heartily and 

joked, “Oh, you want to see a spotted 

leopard? Today we were going to look 

for a plain one!” 

We learnt tourism group, Tourvest 

is educating even more field guides 

through a fully-sponsored course at 

the Tourvest Field Guide Academy, 

based at the reserve. 

The field guides make sundowners 

far from ordinary. On our last evening, 

lanterns were set up in a circle at a 

spot in the reserve. A gin bar to one 

side. Comfy cushions scattered in the 

middle. It was “bush TV”at its finest. 

Impalas and wildebeest grazed a little 

distance away, while daring blackbacked 

jackals crept close to the

lodges, even while you take a cool splash in the pool.

snack table, hoping to score a piece 

of biltong. They didn’t! As darkness 

fell, we heard an unfamiliar sound... 

another of the Big 5! 

Yes, we’re bragging... but with some 

of the best game viewing South 

African reserves can offer - trust 

us - it’s tough to leave the game 

drives. But the bush adventures 

continue at Makalali. You can 

choose to stay at the Main Lodge 

or River Lodge - both are set in the 

reserve without a boundary fence 

which fuels your authentic African 

experience. The decor, design and 

textures at these lodges scream 

bushveld, and swimming in any of 

the pools becomes a game viewing 

experience. We watched warthogs 

wallowing in the mud near the Main 

Lodge pool. 

At night, an African tale and piece 

of sweet fudge were placed by our 

turned-down bed. One night, we 

found a little decorated box with 

a cute handmade pottery animal 

inside - ours was a zebra and there 

are six others in the collection. This 

lovely keepsake was crafted by 

artists from Gala Star - a company 

that enables underprivileged people 

to improve their lives by making art 

that’s sold in the tourism market. 

The luxurious rooms at the Main 

Lodge are hotel-like and cosy with a 

spacious bathroom... and an outdoor 

shower. You can get two rooms with 

an interleading door - handy for 

families. 

Planning a romantic getaway? 

Book for the River Lodge. Perfect 

for a honeymoon! And fret not 

when they don’t give you a key for 

your room - you don’t need one! 

The room’s design and decor are 

charmingly bona fide bushveld - 

think a mosquito net-draped bed, 

cosy fireplace and comfy seat on 

the veranda. And you’ll probably feel 

very, very clean because who could 

resist a splash in the oh-so-appealing 

outdoor shower, indoor shower and 

bathtub overlooking the reserve. The 

bathrooms are so impressive they 

Make a booking 

have a bay window seating area, for 

goodness sake! 

A bush holiday isn’t really complete 

without dinner in a boma... try the 

sweet home-made bread and the 

venison meat dishes which have 

a uniquely African touch - think 

kudu potjie or crocodile sosaties. 

It’s definitely a ditch-the-diet kind 

of holiday... in-between brekkie, 

lunch and dinner there are pregame 

drive snacks - like decadent 

choc-chip cookies in the mornings 

and afternoon high tea - as well as 

bush coffees and sundowners in the 

reserve. 

In short... when the toughest part 

of your day is dodging wayward 

hanging branches as your field 

guide seeks a terrific sighting, you 

know you’re in a magical place. 

Main Lodge superior rooms from R4 520 a person sharing, for a maximum of two 

people a room and one child under the age of three in a cot. There are interleading 

rooms for a maximum of two people a room and children over the age 

of two will need their own bed, and are charged at 50% of the adult-sharing rate. 

River Lodge suites from R6 225 a person sharing with a maximum of two adults 

a suite. There’s one family suite for two adults and three children under the age 

of 12, charged at 50% of the adult-sharing rate. These rates include all meals, two
