FREEWAY FOOTBALL

FREEWAY TALKS FOOTBALL

It was long day after work, driving back with Mr. Colin Habberton, my previous boss and Christian brother. I remember how the idea of Freeway Football came about. While i was enjoying the sun set, Mr. H as i would call him had his mind on other things. Colin drives on the N2 everytime he goes to Stellenbosch and out of that the idea of Freeway Football was developed.

Driving on the N2 are so many young boys playing soccer, despite the danger from the high way. These kids seem determined and all they want to do is play soccer. Some teams have real soccer balls and some have put together a bunch of plastics and tied them together with a string. I was really touched to see that many of them did not have the proper soccer boots. Instead of many young people out there who just sit or do crime because they have no resources as it turns out to be the reason for most of them, these young stars have put in everything to keep away from drugs and all bad things.

Freeway Football has helped many young people and many more to come. From young professional photographers and soccer players all from Khayelitsha the biggest township in South Africa. Freeway Football aims at providing young proffessional photographers with the resources and drive them to start their own businesses in the community. Among those who have been discovered by Freeway Football Development, is Simphiwe. Through Freeway Football Simphiwe got training, mentorship and sponsorship of camera equipments from Nikon. His work can be rated among the best photography collections in the world. His works has and will teach many that Soccer is a language spoken by the whole world.

Freeway Football is a great project and many are to be discovered. Its amazing how a thought can become a living thing. Put your mind to it and you will reach it. I give it to Mr. H, Justin, Lonwabo, Damon, Morgan and Liam. What an awesome venture.

VANILLA...THE SWEETEST ESSENCE

What a sweet essence

I like it how we all have rights to choose a restaurant and call it our favourite. I have a set of restaurants and among those is Vanilla Restaurant. I love this place because mainly it is very sophisticated. It has a Manhattan influence and has a truly invigorating sense of liberty, from cocktail menu, wine menu, to lunch and dinner menu. The glittering and the orchid’s makes you feel like a royal member, everything shines.

So for a mouth watering three course meals i always go for:

MUSSELS

Steamed fresh Saldanha Bay mussels poached with white wine, cream and garlic

 PORK BELLY

Served on a bed of savoy cabbage and bacon mash, drizzled with and onion and chili sauce and garnished with crispy crackling

TASTING OF VANILLA

Berry and champagne jelly with ice cream swiss roll and free standing creme brulee

OR

Choose from a variety of Sushi.

It is not all restaurants that chefs come out to patrons to find out about their meals. So Evan the head chef at Vanilla this guy knows his job, i never worry about any disappointments. I mean the guy used to work at Riboville and we all know that Riboville was one of the most amazing restaurants in Cape Town. So i guess i could say i followed him from there. For a more relaxed afternoon, please get a seat outside, man! The atmosphere is so liberating, with that sound of Piano. Guys go try it out.

What if you got enough of the city lifestyle, having to do one thing over and over every weekend? Perhaps you just want to go somewhere where there is no traffic. Going to the beach, waterfront or movies just doesn’t seem enough to you. Where do you go? Many people want to go away but cannot because, they are lazy to drive or do not want to travel far, they just want to break away from the city noise for couple of days. Well look no further than west of the Cape Town towards Saldahna Steel mines, for just an hour drive you can find yourself in one of the most relaxing and free spirited fishermen town called Paternoster. This town offers different activities from the breath taking views of the ocean from holiday houses, built from the French romantic influence to the sound of sea birds in the morning and what more could you ask for than a better view of the sunrise.

 

Paternoster fits perfectly as a home away from home; it is enriched with happy people, unlike many holiday towns, Paternoster is a town of tranquillity.

If you have love for fish, Paternoster has the most amazing fish range to come across around the coastal areas. It has restaurants that not only do they offer mouth-watering sea food dishes but also their menu includes red and white meat. The Food prepared at restaurants are meals to die for and replicate a true sense of fishermen town. A pink bottle to sip while you wish for the sun not to set highlights the moment.

Paternoster which simply means “Our father” is a town that is filled with fishermen who wake up before the sun rise to take their fishing boats around the rock of redemption before they sail out to catch the best fish for your convenience, there is nothing more liberating than a fresh tasty fishy meal prepared just for you and your family. If you are more of a stay home family you can simply buy a just caught crayfish from the fish market and prepare a special meal for your family and friends.

Paternoster is a town of joy, people from this small fishermen town painted white are a one big family and always happy to receive guests, their smile, waving as you they pass by and the world’s no.1 services offered at restaurants makes you feel like at home. For a more relaxing afternoon one can take a walk along the beach and tilt some stones for fun, pose for pictures, or pick up shells to remember your stay there, that when you look at them, you just want to go back.

 

I am my own character!

So

 

Hectic nine 9 is looking for a new presenter and i have decided to go audition, but because i knew the judges it was really not easy in terms of focus. So i walked in and started laughing. So instead i have been invited to go visit eTV studios. It will be much easier for me to audition in front of a total stranger, not the people you hang out with. Totally out of the question. So i left and went for a short film casting and it went great. So hopefully i got the part.

 

That was my day.
