From the shy little girl who once hid behind her mum’s dress to playing murderers, leading TV series and bringing her theatre dreams back to life … Minke Marais has come a very long way!

Our latest cover star opens up about growing up on the West Rand, discovering her love for the stage, dealing with rejection and why resting is part of the process – not the reward. She also chats about her dream of creating her own productions, her love of thrillers and the one thing she’s wanted to do since she was 16 ... skydiving! 😲

And with her latest role as Shani Brink in Reënboogrant season two, it looks like Minke’s next chapter is already taking shape.

Boland Cellar’s Expresso Pinotage ... a bold, coffee-style red wine in a single-serve can, designed for the way South Africans live.

When a South African legend meets an Italian diva, magic happens. Boland Cellar, one of South Africa’s oldest wine producers, has released Expresso Pinotage ... a stylish, single-serve, coffee-style Pinotage that is sophisticated enough for a rooftop sundowner and relaxed enough for a Tuesday evening winding down with your favourite artist on repeat after a good day’s work.

It brings together the bold soul of Pinotage and the irresistible allure of espresso flavour, packaged in a can to suit the life you’re living. Pinotage is no ordinary grape. Born and bred on South African soil, it is the country’s signature cultivar – bold, expressive, and thoroughly unique. Expresso Pinotage takes that legend and adds an unexpected partner ... the deep, roasted character of coffee-style winemaking, achieved through heavily toasted French oak ageing rather than any additives.

The result is 100 per cent wine, and 100 per cent extraordinary. In the glass – or rather, straight from the can – Expresso Pinotage delivers layers of dark prune, plum, and ripe blueberry, with a prominent finish reminiscent of Mocha Java ground coffee. Deep, smooth, and confident. One can. Countless ways to enjoy it. It’s a natural alongside flavourful meats, is equally at home with a rich ragù-style pasta, a slow-roasted pork belly, or seared duck breast. Venison, intensely flavoured dishes, your favourite pizza ... it handles them all with ease. Plus ... can. So perfect if you’re travelling and is a single serve so you don’t need to commit to a full bottle. Oh ... and once you’ve enjoyed it, please recycle your can. The planet, like a good Pinotage, deserves to be looked after.

The Crazy Store celebrates its 29th birthday with 20% off if you spend R200 or more in-store, and a chance to win a share of R200 000.

From toys and party supplies to homeware, stationery, storage and DIY, there is plenty to discover across The Crazy Store’s aisles. Inspired by “Everyone Gets a Slice of the Cake,” the celebration brings The Crazy Store’s playful personality to life while recognising the customers who have supported the brand over the past 29 years.

So, come get your slice of the birthday fun at your nearest store.

Two women. Two very different stories. One beautiful reminder … words have the power to change lives.

From the beautiful, messy and often chaotic world of motherhood to discovering your strength one step at a time, we catch up with authors Daniëlla van Heerden and Bernadine Lightfoot.

Bernadine’s latest novel, just RUN!, is about so much more than running. It’s about finding courage, believing in yourself and discovering that sometimes the smallest step can change everything.

Meanwhile, Daniëlla’s Die Hart van ’n Ma brings together heartfelt, honest stories from mothers across South Africa — reminding us that there is no such thing as the perfect mom, and that sometimes simply being present is more than enough.

Whether you're a mom in the middle of the beautiful chaos, dreaming about your next chapter, or simply looking for a little inspiration to take that first step … this one’s for you.
