  • Strictly Embargoed Until 19H00 Tuesday 23 February Media
    Strictly embargoed until 19h00 Tuesday 23 February Media release ENHLE IS THE NEW CROWN FOR THE MISS SOUTH AFRICA PAGEANT ________________________________________ Johannesburg, February 23: When Miss South Africa 2016 is announced at Carnival City on March 19 she will be crowned with a brand new glittering masterpiece worthy of her prestigious title. Sun International, in collaboration with Cell C, has unveiled a magnificent crown named Enhle, especially created for the dazzling occasion by Jack Friedman Jewellers. The name, which means "beautiful one" in isiZulu, was chosen through a social media competition which attracted hundreds of entries. A key feature of the crown, which is made of silver, is the inclusion of an infinity sign to symbolise the enormity and ongoing nature of Miss South Africa’s role, not only during her year of reign but into the future. The crown’s three largest stones are sugilite (also called luvulite and sold as the stone of love) which are often associated with royalty thanks to their purple colour. These were mined near Hotazel in the Northern Cape. Other stones used in the crown are amethyst and white quartz crystals. Says Howard Friedman, designer of the crown and owner of Jack Friedman Jewellers: “We chose the materials used in Enhle to be symbolic of Miss South Africa’s reign. Sugilite is believed to have protective and healing properties. We hope that it will keep her safe during her reign as well as help her unite our nation. Amethyst is a stone that works in the emotional, physical and spiritual planes to provide calm, balance, patience and peace.” Says Claudia Henkel, PR Manager: Sun International: “The crown is a real show- stopper and worthy of Miss South Africa.

  • Sally-Ann Murray
    Tropes and Trophies: The Lost City "Discovered SALLY-ANN MURRAY T JLHE LOST CITY is "the most audacious and most deafeningly hyped theme resort in the southern hemisphere, at least" ( The Nexo York Times; qtd. in Milne 7). The themed monumentality of the resort both displays "Africa" as scopic feast and exploits the eutopic promises of tourism, adventure, and romance, while gesturing towards a past and a future in which "Africa" is writ large on the map of the collective unconscious. It is hardly surprising that The Lost City intersects with an existing symbolic and mythic repertoire which paradoxically signifies "Africa" as well as a place of fantastic, adventurous projection: for Africa has always constituted an ambiguous cartography within the visions of Western history: witness Pliny's often-quoted, "Ex Africa ali- quid semper novi," and the equally fantastical sweep of CNN International's weather forecast: "Well, there's nothing much happening over Africa today." The interest represented for me by The Lost City resides not simply in its re-presentation of narratives from a colonial- imperial past, but in the ways in which such re-presentations intersect with South Africa's uneven modernities and post- modernities. One of our inclinations might be to dismiss the pleasureland as both kitsch and elitist yet, as Elleke Boehmer has implied in The Times Literary Supplement, both the resort and Sol Kerzner, its developer, are cultural phenomena which awkwardly refuse the easy interpretation. For with its insolent borrowings from around the globe, The Lost City refigures within a southern African context a metropolitan cultural form, provoking unset• tling imaginings of syncretic cultural identity.

Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.

  • The Big Read: Rolene's Picture-Perfect Story
    The Big Read: Rolene's picture-perfect story Dec 19, 2014 | Jonathan Jansen It has been a dark year, and the pun is intended. Then into our lives comes this bright, shining light from a place most South Africans would not be able to locate on a map. Click Clique: Thuli Sangweni, Rolene Strauss and Melinda Bam at Sun City in 2011 Photograph by: Raymond Preston "Talented, humble, competitive and decent, she makes me proud" The towns surrounding Volksrust, a place with fewer than 50000 souls, sound like familiar but faraway destinations - Amersfoort, Newcastle, Utrecht - yet the Mpumalanga locals knew exactly where they were and why they were marching towards the surgery practice of Dr Hennie Strauss; it was not for healing. They came to celebrate the man's daughter - who had just shown up on their rural television stations as the new Miss World. A text from one of my students inviting me to attend the Miss South Africa competition at Sun City came as a test. I was not big on beauty pageants and I was tired after a hard slog at work. "Big picture," I reminded myself. So off we went to that odd island of luxury surrounded by, well, nothing. The "big picture" was a young medical student named Rolene Strauss. She had always struck me as different from most first years. She was unusually calm and confident. Unlike most first years, who tend to be somewhat nervous around their rector, Rolene could maintain a conversation as if we were old friends. Kind, respectful and generous to a fault, I knew this was a student I could rely on to help the team transform the university into a place that embraced all.

As we celebrate Africa Day, we are reminded of what one of Africa’s finest sons of the soil, Kwame Nkurumah said and I quote: “The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart,” unquote. We have observed that one of the superimposed influence that still keep us apart today is criminality perpetrated against our African brothers and sisters which needs to be condemned in strongest possible terms.

  • Miss South Africa Launches Legacy Initiative ______
    MISS SOUTH AFRICA LAUNCHES LEGACY INITIATIVE ___________________________________________ Sun City, September 28: To mark its 60th year jubilee pageant milestone, the Miss South Africa Organisation has launched the Miss South Africa Legacy Initiative. All proceeds from the Miss SA Legacy Initiative Gala Dinner – held at Sun City on Friday and attended by a host of former Miss South Africa title holders, including former Miss Worlds Penny Rey Coelen and Rolene Strauss – went to The Tomorrow Trust and The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. Others who attended included Joan Ramagosi-Madibeng, Sandra de Meyer-Evans, Tansey Coetzee Sodeinde, Amy Kleinhans Curd, Odette Scrooby-Joubert, Sonia Raciti-Oshry, Lorna Potgieter, Yolanda Kloppers, Tatum Keshwar, Kerishnie Naiker, Andrea Stelzer, Vera Johns Sutherland, Suzette van der Merwe, Claudia Henkel and Liesl Laurie. Miss World South Africa Thulisa Keyi was also present. Chief Operating Officer of Sun International Ltd, Thabo Mosololi said at the gala dinner: “Traditionally each Miss South Africa champions a social cause during her reign that is close to her heart. However, the Legacy Initiative will provide an additional platform for all former Miss South Africa winners to work together as a meaningful force for good. “As passionate South Africans, we believe the future is tied to our young people and, in particular, their education and health. We have adopted two NPOs for a long-term period with the aim of raising R400 000 per annum for each NPO. Funds raised for The Tomorrow Trust will be used towards their school holiday programme, providing skills training and recourses for qualifying schoolgoing South Africans.

The reason why this collaboration is so important and a landmark event as both BA and Career Power has had a long and extremely successful association with students appearing for competitive exams. This magazine includes various initiatives that cover various aspects of Banking and SSC exams in an exhaustive manner. Keeping in mind the upcoming exams, we have covered Current Affairs for not only the month of December but also for the month of November under the name “Current Affairs Zinger”. To make learning easy for the students we have also introduced another initiative by the name "NEWS MAKER OF THE MONTH" which covers all the important people, appointments, awards, etc that have made news. Having covered the GK and CA portion in an exhaustive manner, we have also given equal importance and focus to the other subjects of the exams, be it Reasoning, Quant, English, Banking, Interview Preparation or Guidance and boosting the confidence of students. We have also given Mock Papers on IBPS Specialist Officer, LIC AAO and SSC CGL for practice for our readers, so that they can increase their speed and accuracy. This edition of Magazine also includes a new series named “Twisted Ones” which will have questions with higher difficulty level. We believe that each and every student has the hidden potential to reach the unattainable heights, and it is our responsibility to provide them with a platform that hones their skills enabling them to overcome each and every challenge that comes their way while appearing for these exams.
