EDITOR’ S NOTE
OUR HERITAGE, OUR PRIDE
September hits different in Mzansi.
Spring is here and Heritage Month gives us the perfect excuse to celebrate what makes South Africa, well, South Africa.
On our cover this month is Springbok star Faf de Klerk, one of the most recognisable, fearless, and entertaining characters in South African sport. The livewire scrumhalf opens up about his journey, life, rugby, and what being proudly South African means to him.
Inside, we keep things proudly local. From travel and sport to music, arts, and motoring, there’ s something for everyone. I also share part one of my Garden Route road trip, where the stops included historic gems, beautiful stays, and some unforgettable encounters. You really don’ t need a passport to have a proper adventure.
We also chat to another Springbok legend, Steven Kitshoff, about his new book, leadership, resilience, and life after rugby.
Add some spring fitness motivation, fresh beauty advice, local creativity, and a spin in the Honda Elevate, and you’ ve got an issue packed with stories worth getting stuck into.
This month, we’ re celebrating where we come from, where we’ re going, and the people who make this country so lekker.
Keep it proudly South African!
