Nataniël insetsel waarvan sy deel uitgemaak het, was

oorweldigend.

Corlea was ook hierdie jaar weer saam met Nataniël vir 6

weke deel van sy vertoning “Rainbow at Midnight”

gedurende Augustus en September by Emperors Palace.

Sy is in 2014 weer deel van die Afrikaans is Groot Konserte

rolmodel vir ons plaaslike talent!

* * *Eendag, lank gelede toe klokbroeke soos kleefplastiek aan ordentlike jong mans se lywe geklou het, en Abba Springbokradio aan die brand gesing het, het Boet Beauman die mooie Maria in Barcelona ontmoet. Nou, byna vyf en dertig jaar later, regeer Boet sy vrou en die drie produkte van hul huwelik met 'n arm wat maklik draai vanuit sy Italiaanse teëlmaatskappy se besturende direkteurstoel.Soos die drie Europese stede waarna hul vernoem is, Barcelona, Venesië en Sienna, verskil die drie Beaumansusters dramaties. Kyk maar net na die skoene: Lona dra plakkies of tekkies of enige ding wat haar toelaat om agter twee kleintjies aan te hardloop. Vanessa regeer die geldsake van die familiebesigheid vanaf hemelhoë spykerhakke terwyl Sienna Tukskampus betower en omdolwe met al wat 'n sexy platform of wighak is.Lona verlang na haar stiletto-dae, Vanessa broei oor hoe hard om haar spykerhak neer te sit en Sienna glip skelmpies uit haar strikkieskoene om kaalvoet om die hele spul Beaumans te sluip. Intussen voer Boet Beauman iets in die mou wat sy gesin se hakke gaan laat bewe, Beaumans moet op die JSE gelys word en elke Beauman is nodig om die maatskappy op die spreekwoordelike kaart te vestig. 'n Slegter tyd vir 'n affair, 'n internasionale minnespel en 'n onortodokse match-makingwebtuiste om op die lappe te kom, is daar kwalik; maar die Beaumanvroue het nie voete van klei nie, hulle loop in stiletto's van staal.

The good old town of Springs.

Springs was founded as a coal and gold mining town in 1904,

but its history can be traced back to the second half of the

19th century.From about 1840, farmers moved into the area

and declared farms for themselves, especially after the Zuid-

Afrikaansche Republiek (South African Republic, later

Transvaal) became an independent republic with the signing

of the Sand River Convention in 1852. These initial farms

were large, but the measurements of the borders were

inaccurate and later, when the correct borders of the farms

had to be documented, there were several extra or odd

pieces of land that did not belong to any farm. These odd

pieces of land then became state property. Such an odd piece

existed between three neighbouring farms on the

Witwatersrand, namely Geduld (meaning 'patience'), De

Rietfontein ('the reed fountain') and Brakpan (literally, 'small,

brackish lake'). The 685 ha odd piece was given the name

'The Springs' by the land surveyor James Brooks, probably

because of all the fountains on the land. Another story is that

he wanted to name it after himself, but because his name

(Brooks) resembled the Afrikaans word 'broek' (trousers) so

closely, he feared that the Afrikaans farmers in the area would

mock it.

On 16 September 1884 the official map of The Springs was

registered in Pretoria, the Republic's capital. Initially, the

land's value was equal to R200. But the discovery of coal and

gold and its subsequent mining increased the value

considerably.The coal discovered in The Springs was of a

good quality and in 1888 the first contract was signed to mine

coal there. There were a number of corrugated iron houses

around the mine and, although there were a few small hotels

and general dealers, it was not a town yet. The settlement

grew and in 1902 a health committee was appointed to look

after the building and location of structures and also the

hygiene in the growing township. In 1904 the Grootvlei

Proprietary Mines were registered and shafts were sunk. This

followed the discovery in 1899 of gold on the farm Geduld

and the further discovery of the main reef in 1902.

In April 1904 The Springs was proclaimed a town, called

Springs, the health committee replaced by a town council,

and it flourished as a mining town. In 1962, Springs produced

10 percent of the country's gold and 9 percent of its uranium.

However, by the end of the 1960s the last mine in town, the

Daggafonteinmyn, (literally: Marijuana fountain mine) was

emptied. The town did not die, but instead developed into an

industrial centre.

Springs is currently one of the industrial centres of the

Witwatersrand also the Eastern Gateway of Gauteng towards

Mpumalanga and Northern Kwazulu Natal. Mining has been

replaced by manufacturing and engineering industries of

economic importance; products of the region include

processed metals, chemicals, paper and foodstuffs.

Springs at the height of Mining activity had 12 active Gold

mines and has always owed its existence to Gold mining.

Today there are no operational Gold mines in Springs.The

first pioneers of Springs were farmers and Coal mine

employees and their families.

Springs Back in the Days

On the Big ScreenSOUTH AFRICAN-BORN FILM MAKERS ARE

BRINGING HOLLYWOOD HOME!

Henk Pretorius of Dark Matter Studios subscribes to the

philosophy that you have to make it in the entertainment

industry in your own country, before trying to do it on the

international scene. In March 2014, the SAFTA nominations

were made public and it included a nomination for South

African director and script writer, Henk Pretorius. Pretorius has

been nominated as best director, as well as best co-writer, for

the feature film, Fanie Fourie's Lobola, Pretorius set out to

bring Hollywood to South Africa with his latest film, Leading

Lady.

international flagship project, Leading Lady - a cross-

continental love story. After six weeks and more than 20

meetings with talent agents, studios and actors, Pretorius was

certain that he found the perfect cast! The film is currently in its

post-production phase and is due for international release

shortly, with local talent Bok van Blerk and Brümilda van

Rensburg rubbing shoulders with well-known Irish actress,

Katie McGrath (Dracula, Merlin) and hunky, veteran

Hollywood actor, Gil Bellows (Ally McBeal, Shawshank

Redemption).Leading Lady tells the story of an aspiring British

actress, Jodi Rutherford, who persuades Kobus Willemse, a

farmer from Brandfort, to prepare her for a role in a major film

as an Afrikaans war heroine.

In return Jodi undertakes to arrange and direct the annual

concert at the Willemse farm. Jodi's interaction with the quirky,

small-town citizens of Brandfort and the stubborn Kobus,

teaches her that there is more to life than Hollywood's “lights,

camera, action!” or is there…?

After Katie McGrath read the script of Leading Lady, she

immediately confirmed that she would love to come to South

Africa to act opposite Bok van Blerk - and, suddenly, everyone

started to feel that local is getting a lot more “lekker”! One

needs to remember that this remarkable actress recently

shared the silver screen with Hollywood 'A-lister', Jonathan

Reese Meyers in Dracula.

Leading Lady will hit the local movie circuit on 28 November

2014 and is distributed by Ster Kinekor Entertainment.

She took her first ballet class at the age of four and then modern

and tap at seven, she soon realised that dancing would be her life

passion. Keri Labuschagne, founder and owner of the new Studio K

knew from a young age that dancing would make all her dreams a

reality.“I took my first ballet class when I was four years old, it

never stuck with me for some reason, although looking back, I wish

I had persevered. I then took my first modern and tap class when I

was seven and I never looked back,” she said.

Keri says her mom enrolled her at a ballet studio, but a�er seeing a

family friends' tap shoes her a�en�on was diverted.

“Tap dancing was so exci�ng for me and quickly became a passion

of mine,” Keri explains.It formed a huge part of her childhood, two

of her dance friends she met at the age of eight are s�ll two of her

closest friends.Other extra murals like horse riding and karate

ended up taking a back seat to dancing.

“I remember tapping everywhere I went, my parents wanted to kill

me. And now my students' parents tell me the same thing now,”

she laughs, adding that their kids' feet just wont stop tapping.

She took part in her first dance compe��on when she was just ten

years old and received second place for both modern and tap solo

dances. Her group dances placed first.“I danced throughout

University while studying to become a journalist and towards the

end of her studies she began doing her teachers exams. The

company I worked for went into liquida�on a month a�er I started

working there,” Keri says. “I have found that being a dancer brings

its own kind of personal joy, but being a dance teacher allows a

vast spread of happiness as I provide each student with the

opportunity to find their own personal delight through dance.

I have the most rewarding job there is,” she says passionately.

When Keri was 14 she won the overall modern sec�on at the

fes�val, and at 16 won the overall tap sec�on receiving first place

for both straight and character dance, while her tap character

dance won an award for Best Tap character of the fes�val.

“Next year, Studio K plans on entering Dance Star, a compe��on

where dancers can qualify to compete overseas. This will provide

each dancer with the pla�orm to extend their dancing experience

vastly,” she says.

She teaches Monday to Thursday from 2pm un�l 8pm offering

classes in Modern (Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, heels) and tap.

Star�ng age is three years old and Keri believes that no-one is to

old to dance and she now offers a boys class which allows them

freedom to not feel like outcasts in all-girls classes. This class

focusses on Hip Hop and Strengthening.

“When I dance I feel like I am doing what I was created to do. Life

feels at peace in those moments and the rest of the world falls into

silence,” she says.

Keri's mo�o – “ Nothing worth anything ever comes easy “

If you would like more informa�on on Studio K you can contact Keri

Helpful Camping Tips

Camping is not the most glorious of accommodations, but it's nothing short of exciting! What compares to sleeping under

the starry sky in the middle of nature with nothing around to distract you? Here are some helpful camping tips that will

make your escape into nature a lot more enjoyable:

1. Homemade tick repellent - Mix together 2 cups of distilled white vinegar with 1 cup of water (you can also add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to get rid of the vinegary smell). Pour this solution into a spray bottle and spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before heading out into the bush.

2. Take extra ground sheets - Ground sheets are great for muddy, sandy, or uncomfortable ground. They also make for wonderful wind breakers and privacy screens if you tie them up between your tents, caravans, and cars.

3. Pick a campsite wisely - The areas around the ablutions are high traffic areas where people will be plodding noisily past at all hours of the day and night – including nosy parkers who like to check out your campsite and everyone in it. Picking a spot further away from the ablutions will mean you may have to walk a little further to reach it, but you will have the added convenience of privacy.

4. Bring earplugs -There is something about camping that allows noise to travel from extravagant distances. And what's worse, as you don't actually know the other campers, you can't walk over and shout at them for snoring.

5. Duct tape is your best friend - Duct tape is the revered camping item. It's great for patching holes in tents, shoes, inflatable mattresses, and mosquito nets…just about anything, really.

6. Bring your own water - Save yourself the trouble of boiling water every time you use it by bringing along some of your own drinking water from home. You can use this for drinking, cooking, and brushing your teeth.

7. Colour code your tent or gazebo poles Colour coding each pole of your tent or gazebo can make camping a lot easier. There's nothing worse than having to mess around in the dark trying to find what poles go where. Simply attach colourful stickers to the poles that fit together for easy assembling.

8. Keep a First Aid Kit - Ensure you have a First Aid kit at your campsite at all times. Fill this box with plasters, antiseptic creams, anti-nausea tablets, anti-diarrhoeal medicine, water purification tablets, cotton swabs, hand sanitiser, pain pills, antihistamines, tweezers, eye drops, and your personal medication prescribed by your doctor.

9. Pack toilet paper -You don't want to arrive at your campsite and find that the ablutions are disastrously managed (or rather, not managed). Keeping a few rolls of toilet paper will save any awkward moments in the loo.
