The Feb/Mar issue of The Ridge is all about education, looking at the use of technology in the modern classroom (page 20) and ensuring good health through keeping active (page 10). It’s about an active mind and body and the lifestyle example we set for our children. It’s about knowing that all it takes is half an hour of physical activity a day – whether it’s a gentle stroll along the beach or throwing a ball in the garden – to keep both ourselves and our kids active.
Enjoy our new column with Myles Buxton (page 40) who chats to one of South Africa’s top winemakers, Carl Schultz, from Hartenberg Estate. Get down to La Cave Liquors to take advantage of the specials on Hartenberg wines for the month of March.
Vanessa Marawa is back in Durban (page 6) and looking as glamorous as ever. We caught up with her about winning Survivor South Africa and to find out what her plans are now that she’s back home. We loved spending time with her on our beautiful beachfront and meeting her two best friends, Marmite and Xena.
As we all know Durban’s summer never ends, so enjoy the fashion inspirations from a very special local designer, Bianca Warren (page 36). The Bianca Warren brand proudly originates from the heart of our community and we look forward to her success at the upcoming SA Fashion Week.
I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you. Remember, keep sending me your feedback.
