Security continues to be a factor that makes us uncomfortable about buying things online, especially from a South African context.

Family time in the movie

Dec 2, 2015 |

Parenting is no child’s play. Trying to provide your children with a balanced life that serves as a foundation for the lives they want to live is an ongoing task as well as a major responsibility. When I was growing up, factors like ‘screen time’ just weren’t an issue and the risk of our children being exposed to video programming that contained sex, violence and other inappropriate content wasn’t that high. I still remember how even seeing two people kissing and the suggestion of more was often as far as it went on telly. While studios like Warner Bros and Walt Disney delved into...

Things My Father Taught Me (Win With Chivas)

Jun 15, 2014 | ,

Life is about example. Having example and being an example. My father has been my main parent since I was about one. My mother died in a car accident. Everything I have learnt about being a man, a professional, a husband, a father, etc has stemmed from my father. I started working for him in the family businesses from a very young age so I learnt how to work and gained skills directly from him outside of school but, more importantly, watching him over the years – I am now 42 and he is 79 – has shaped who I am. Whenever I am asked about my role models, my father is always the first I name but...

Win A R500 Stylemology Voucher

Oct 7, 2013 | ,
