Did you hear that one about the blonde…?

In one of my favourite films (one that I watched about 20 times already, and referenced as many times) called ‘Withnail & I’, it is

said that hair act like aerials – they pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into your brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.

And, as meaningless and hollow as that statement may seem, do not underestimate the importance of hair – especially in this day and age, or more importantly in this neck of the woods.

Integration (or what I like to call cross fertilisation) may be happening at a rapid rate – what with our chil-dren going to mixed-raced schools,

socialising with kids from all walks of life: a good thing for the future of this country, right?

However, apparently hair is a real topic of conversation – often even causing trauma for (especially) little girls. I was totally unaware of this until I had an interesting conversa-tion with an ex student (now friend) about it. It came about as result of her little girl asking questions about her “different, hard and stiff” hair as opposed to the white and some col-oured girls with “straight, soft hair”.

And, at the Spar near to where I live, some staff members sport a few strange “hairstyles”. I use the invert-ed commas because they are merely wigs that are styled peculiarly.

Not only that, they are also in col-ours that more often than not don’t suit the wearer of the wig. Or, maybe it is just my lack of “moving with the times”, since I am told it is an acces-sory much like jewellery.

I don’t know, but silly still looks silly to me. Black assistants with the blondest or reddest hair, very much like drag queens donning the biggest

hair, wanting to be more woman than real women! And I know, live and let live…still, I can’t help but find it hilarious. And, let me be quite clear here – I am not saying you should not do with your “accessories” as you wish – please…knock yourself out. But, just as much as you want com-mendation, you should also be happy with criticism.

But I did start to think about it further: why do these women want this kind of hair – soft, blonde and straight? What are they saying about their own hair and their DNA, their heritage even: something I thought we should be celebrating and own-ing? It just seems strange that I hardly ever see a white woman with an afro.

Are you saying I always wanted to be like you, madam? And now I can be…look at my hair! At night I take it off and I sleep (and wake up) with my own (not-so-straight-and-blonde) hair and before I even look in the mirror to see the real me, I put on my blonde hair and I feel like...hat? Someone I am not? And why?

Because I cannot stand who I really am? Or, is it because I am so much in search of an identity that hitherto has eluded me?

And why would white women not want to afford you the same cour-tesy by wearing a wig resembling your hair?

Do they even make such wigs? And, if they did, it would be for a fancy dress party, or those wearing them would be accused of ridiculing you?

Are you saying that all those years that I fought to finally be me, and to show it off to the world, I now want to be you, and say to the world: “You are the benchmark by which I measured my humanness by all these years.” That is a sad state of affairs to contemplate.

And these questions are only by exploring a simple thing like hair! Pondering it further will permeate a few other aspects of our lives: like the golf playing and the food you consume, with names you cannot pronounce, the clothes you wear, the expensive wines you drink and,

and – all those things that our non-white folk now also want to talk about at dinner parties, as if that were an expression of who they are? As if those things had been part of their upbringing, or their culture or their traditions? Little wonder we are too often accused of not having a culture.

We don’t really know who we are, perhaps? Little wonder “new money” has no class: you cannot buy style or class. Anything with bling makes you feel “wealthy”. And, the bigger the better: the wigs being a case in point.

As long as we are seen to be up-wardly mobile…mostly in pursuit of touchstones as set by the very white person that we accuse of being “su-perior”.

Someone has to explain that to me like I am a toddler.

But, I better stop there, because someone is going to write to me and let me know how I am not being part of the “solution” for this country or how “cynical” I am about its future, or, how racist I am, or, or…

Opera superstars from the CTO stable return to SA for one concert onlyTwo of SA’s brightest singing stars, Pretty Yende and Sunnyboy Dladla, are set to wow the Mother City on Monday, March 21, at the Artscape Opera House when they appear in a programme of highlights from the bel canto masterpieces which have brought them international acclaim, with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by a key fig-ure in their studies, Professor Kamal Khan.

Hailing from the same high school in Piet Retief, and now in demand at the world’s most prestigious op-era houses, Yende and Dladla are at the forefront of the new generation of outstanding South African sing-ers who are taking the international opera world by storm.

This one-night-only gala high-lights the Duet Endowment Trust, a fund established under the patron-age of Wendy Ackerman to ensure the longevity of Cape Town Opera and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.

Yende, the celebrated soprano, first came to international attention in 2010 when she became the first

artist in the history of the Belve-dere Competition to win First Prize in every category. In 2011, she was the first prize winner of Placido Do-mingo’s Operalia Competition. Yende made her professional operatic de-but at the National theatre in Riga as Micaela in ‘Carmen’. She has since been seen at nearly all of the ma-jor theaters of the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, Covent Garden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, and many others.

Engagements for the 2015/16 season include her debut at the Paris Opera in ‘Il Barbiere di Siviglia’, pro-ductions of ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’ and ‘L‘Elisir D’Amore’ in Berlin, ‘Die Zauberflöte’ in Geneva, and ‘I Puri-tani’ in Zurich.

In January 2013, Yende made a sensationally acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut, stepping in on a few weeks’ notice as the Countess Adele in ‘Le Comte Ory’ opposite Juan Diego Florez. Immediately after, she made her Vienna debut at the Theat-er an der Wien in the same opera.

Dladla was born KwaZulu-Natal, raised in Mpumalanga where he

matriculated at Ndlela High School in Piet Retief. He began his musical studies in 2004 at the University of Cape Town under the direction of Prof: Angelo Gobbato, Kamal Khan and Sidwell Hartman.

In 2012 he made his US debut singing ‘Messiah’ with the National Symphony Orchestra, Washington and Rolf Beck, resulting in an imme-diate re-invitation to sing Mozart’s ‘Requiem’ the following year with Christoph Eschenbach.

He was an ensemble member at Deutsche Oper for the 2015/16 sea-son. Plans for this season and next include a concert with Cecilia Bartoli in Bozar, Brussels; his concert debut at the Komische Oper Berlin; ‘Liben-skof Il viaggio a Reims’ with Zürich Opera; as well as Count Almaviva at Deutsche Oper, Bucharest Opera, Stuttgart Oper and in ‘Pesaro’ with Alberto Zedda. He is based in Berlin as his second home.

‘Sweeney Todd’ lacks not for passion and technical qualitySHOW: SWEENEY TODD, THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREETCAST: JONATHAN ROXMOUTH, CHARON WILLIAMS-ROS, MICHAEL RICHARD, SANLI JOOSTE, CAMERON BOTHA, ADAM PELKOWITZ, GERMANDT GELDENHUYS, JACO VAN RENSBURG, ANNE-MARIE CLULOW, CANDICE VAN LITSENBORGHDIRECTOR: STEVEN STEADMUSICAL DIRECTOR: ROWAN BAKKERVENUE: THEATRE ON THE BAY, CAMPS BAYREVIEWER: PETER TROMP

From having read reviews of international productions of Stephen Sondheim’s musi-cals over the years, I knew

that his works have almost as many detractors as they do proponents. Usually when an artist is as polar-ising as Sondheim appears to be, I tend to look forward to productions of their works even more, knowing that there’s likely to be no phleg-matic reaction on my part.

Even with that mindset, lit-tle could have prepared me for the sensual and stirring onslaught that is ‘Sweeney Todd’. It is quite unlike any musical production I have seen in recent times.

Unflinching in its depiction of some of the most unsavoury of humanity’s traits, ‘Sweeney Todd’

envelops one in a dark, miasmatic cloud. A feel-good affair it is not. An entertaining, engrossing one it most certainly is.

It’s almost worth the price of admission to witness how the au-dience reacts to the revelation of the titular character’s victims end-ing up in the baking of Mrs. Lovett (Charon Williams-Ros) and sold to a ravenous public when her pie shop becomes the toast of the town. Its macabre humour is definitely one of ‘Sweeney Todd’s’ best qualities.

That dark laced whimsy sits alongside passages that are meant to be taken more seriously, specifically as relates to what seems to be the fundamental conceit of Sondheim’s creation: the way that self-righteous victims can become consumed by vengeance, until that pursuit takes on a life of its own and indiscrimi-nate bloodshed typically ensues. ‘Sweeney Todd’s’ tonal shifts, or at least the tonal shifts as depicted through Steven Stead’s directorial choices, because I have nothing to

compare it to, has an inelegant, shambling quality. Although I have a great appreciation for productions that purposefully complicate how one is supposed to react and plays with the audience’s expectations, ‘Sweeney Todd’ sometimes makes one unsure of how to feel in key passages.

This is exacerbated by characters that although realised by the uni-formly laudable cast with conviction, seem more archetypical than fully fleshed out. Jonathan Roxmouth is

one of the best musical actors the city has probably ever had, yet for all his range, he appears trapped in one emotional register throughout. He sells it with the brooding intensity he brings to the show, but I wish he had more to play with.

Perhaps the actor who seems most comfortable is unsurprisingly the one who was celebrating her 100th performance on the evening I attended - Williams-Ros as the de-mented, yet affable Mrs. Lovett. The actress manages the notable feat of getting one on the side of her char-acter despite the despicable acts she commits by fore-fronting not only her fundamental geniality, but also her vulnerability.

‘Sweeney Todd’ is ultimately not one of those “You either love it, or hate it” productions; it’s more com-plex than that.

You will love the visual world that Stead has meticulously created for your viewing pleasure, as well as the expertly sung musical numbers and the passion for the material that permeates every corner of this lav-ishly visualised show.

But at the end of it all, you might just wonder why you’re so unmoved by everything that had transpired.

Laurika Rauch will perform in ‘Hart & See’

The contemporary classical Cape Dance Company (CDC), under the artistic direction of Debbie Turner, is celebrating its 21st anniversary this year and will be presenting five per-formances at the Artscape Theatre from March 18 to 20, in commemo-ration of the auspicious occasion.

The season most notably fea-tures the African première of Span-ish/UK choreographer, José Agudo’s acclaimed work, ‘A Thousand Shep-herds’.

An exploration of various fac-ets that encompass “humanity”, ‘A Thousand Shepherds’ is inspired by the concept of pilgrimage. Originally created on the company Ace Dance & Music in Birmingham in the UK to the music of Vincenzo Lamagna, the tone of the work is underpinned by the influence of a period of study in an Indian ashram, bringing to it a mystical and mysterious feel. Agudo’s work is articulate and reflective, cre-ating an aura of sacredness and in-tense spirituality. Costume design is by Kimie Nakano.

José Agudo is the Artistic Direc-tor of his own project-based dance company and rehearsal director for world-renowned, acclaimed British choreographer, Akram Khan. Agudo’s multi-disciplinary pedigree started with the study of flamenco dance, which has influenced and crafted much of the rhythmical virtuosity of this work which has been on numer-ous companies worldwide.

The celebratory season also in-cludes CDC works that have carved a reputation of excellence for the company. The programme features a re-staging of Christopher Huggins’ award-winning ‘Enemy Behind the Gates’, this time with a cast of 32, the largest to date and using the double volume theatre stage to showcase the

fast choreography of charged emo-tion and the power of the dancers.

In stark contrast, two shorter works make up the second half of the programme. The delicate and contemplative pas de deux from Bradley Shelver’s ballet Scenes, set to Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’, will be danced to live accompaniment by the Czechoslovakian concert pianist, Michaela Mala-Simpson. Christopher Huggins’ neo-classical quartet, ‘In the Mirror of her Mind’ danced by a woman and three men, relives life’s joys, losses and missed and found op-portunities and is set to the music of Henryk Gorecki.

* Tickets cost R140 to R200. Call 021 421 7695 or book at Computicket.

REVIEWER: PETER TROMP

Cape Town Opera enjoyed a mostly spectacular 2015, with such artistic triumphs as ‘Maria Stuarda’, the hi-larious ‘The Merry Widow of Mala-gawi’ and especially ‘Four:30’, which presented four exquisite, original mini South African operas in one production. How do you top such a fantastic annum? By going even bigger, it would seem, or at least at-tempting to.

There is nothing measured about Matthew Wild’s adaptation of Rich-ard Strauss’s ‘Salome’. Practically bursting at the seams with spectac-ular visual ideas, the opera tries to wow one from the very moment the curtain goes up with its monolithic set and high drama.

As the evening progresses, Wild does not let up for a second with the visual inventiveness. It might be the

nature of the original work, but the over-stylization devolves into a sort of camp that feels at odds with the seriousness of the piece’s underlying theme of violence and how it can perpetuate itself from generation to generation, way after any initial first act.

Opening night also had the feel of an unfinished performance; as if the production isn’t quite lived in yet by the singers.

That might still change for the final two performances but for now, Wild’s latest opera is merely striking visually and aurally quite sublime, but lacking in storytelling subtlety.

* ‘Salome’ is showing for two more performances at the Artscape Opera House - on Thursday and Saturday, March 17 and 19. Book at Computicket.

Chad Da Don; and with Riky Rick and Anatii. He also has a song on the number 1 hip-hop album, called the ‘All Love Album’ by Showlove music, called ‘Unstoppable’ ft. Anatii.

Moving away from his usual political rheto-ric but funnier than ever, Nik Rabinow-

itz’s ‘Power Struggle’ promises to set the Baxter Theatre alight with more than laughter when it opens on March 29. A new kind of com-edy show, “one that has a point” says Rabinowitz, ‘Power Struggle’ will run on several forms of ‘re-newable’ energy, and take audi-ences on a riotous journey across the history of power and its many human interventions.

Whether you are an eco-warrior or eco-worrier, or like most of us who don’t have a clue what is go-ing on in the world, ‘Power Strug-gle’ is likely to be the hottest ticket in town. Asked why focus his hu-mour on energy, Rabinowitz re-plied: “The stand up comedy mar-ket has become saturated…with politicians. It’s become very hard to tell the difference between co-medians and politicians. I’ve spent a lot of comedy time focusing on (political) power, so I started think-ing ‘why put your energy into poli-tics when you can put your energy into energy?’ As The Arch said, we’re a rainbow nation, so maybe we should focus a little less on black and white, and a little more on green and grey? Ok, maybe he

didn’t mean it that way, but I’m still a big fan,” adds the comedian.

Billed as the “world’s first green comedy show” the concept has been brought to life by a high-powered team that includes, Ra-binowitz, writing genii Tom Ea-ton and Darrel Bristow-Bovey,

award-winning Broadway director Daniel Kutner, and producer Sam Hendrikse. A supporting cast of alternative energy forms are set to energise the comedy production – think solar, recycled bio-fuels through the mother of all genera-tors and even a bio-digestor (don’t ask what this runs on).

Serious about saving energy? Rabinowitz’s advice: “Get Elon Musk to send you a Powerwall and a Tesla. He will do this because he’s originally South African and has your best interests at heart.”

Clearly listening, audiences at-tending Power Struggle, will be among the first to see a Powerwall in action, as rePowerSA (Tesla’s SA distributors) have come to the par-ty along with a host of other col-laborators, like Solarworld who are supplying panels that will remain at the Baxter, and Rand Air whose generator is next generation.

Arrive on foot, by horse-drawn buggy, in a bike peloton or by car pool, however, but get to the Bax-ter.

* Shows run from March 29 to April 16.Age restriction: PG14For bookings, visit www.compu-ticket.com. Visit www.powerstrug-gle.info for more information.

Youth from the various workshops run by the festival in communities throughout the year will be in performance, showcasing their skill in various art disciplines. This will be from 10am to 2pm. Entrance is free.

Sunday, March 20, continues at the Company’s Gardens with the Smooth Music Concert, which will feature clas-sical and operatic performances. Fea-tured artists will include Errol and Alvin Dyers, UWC Centre for the Performing Arts, the Jazz Quartet and Rosa Choir.

This classic pops music appreciation concert is a new addition to the festival programme.

Review of the weekFILM: REMEMBERCAST: CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, MARTIN LANDAU, BRUNO GANZ, JURGEN PROCHNOW, HEINZ LIEVENDIRECTOR: AYTOM EGOYANCLASSIFICATION: 13 LPREVIEWER: PETER FELDMAN

‘Remember’ is an engrossing film that while embracing a Holocaust theme, transforms into a tense, detective-type thriller.

The always reliable Christopher Plum-mer portrays Zev Guttman, a 90-year-old man struggling with memory loss and liv-ing out his final years in a serene retire-ment home. A week following the death of his beloved wife Ruth, he suddenly gets a mysterious package from his close friend Max (Martin Landau), containing a stack of money and a letter detailing a shocking plan that includes the purchase of a gun.

Zev only intermittently understands or remembers exactly what’s going on, but Max has planned everything, sending Zev on a cross continental road trip that will change his life forever. He intends bring-ing justice once and for all to the man who destroyed their lives.

Zev and Max were prisoners in Aus-chwitz, and the same sadistic guard was responsible for the death of both their

families - a guard who, immediately after the war, escaped Germany and has been living in the U.S. ever since under an as-sumed identity. Max is wheelchair-bound but in full command of his mental facul-ties.

Zev’s quest leads him to various char-acters bearing the same name, Rudy

Kurlander, as the fugitive, and in one in-stance he confronts a man (Bruno Ganz) who believed Hitler had the right idea, but the wrong approach. Another Rudy is already dead, but Zev is welcomed into his house by the man’s affable state trooper son – the name of whose dog, Eva, is a clue to his political leanings.

This is the film’s most gripping sequence, played with a touch of black comedy, and show-stealing support playing from Dean Norris of ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Under the Dome’ TV fame.

Ignoring depressing concentration camp imagery (apart from fleeting flash-backs), renowned Canadian director Ay-tom Egoyan has focused his energies on the detective work involving Zev; his tracking down of the man who had be-come a hated figure.

Egoyan, working from a script by Benjamin August, uses the Holocaust as a trigger to create a powerful thriller. He adroitly builds upon Plummer’s towering performance, one in which the esteemed actor imbues his character with dignity, charisma and vulnerability.

Landau, Ganz, Jürgen Prochnow and Norris may have less screen time, but they all contribute immeasurably to the overall impact of the production.

The climax packs an intriguing twist in a film that will hold you spellbound throughout.

The film has a strong South African connection. It’s the first collaboration be-tween renowned South African producer Anant Singh and Canadian producer Rob-ert Lantos, and it had its world premiere in competition at the Venice International Film Festival last year.

Singh said that he and Lantos had been long time friends and he was de-lighted to be able to work with him on ‘Remember’. He added that ‘it’s wonderful to have a Canadian/South African collab-oration on a project as illustrious as this.”

Last week:

FILM: KUNG FU PANDA 3CAST: JACK BLACK, BRYAN CRAN-STON, DUSTIN HOFFMAN, ANGELINA JOLIE PITT, J.K. SIMMONS, JACKIE CHAN, SETH ROGEN, LUCY LIU, DAVID CROSS, KATE HUDSON, JAMES HONGDIRECTOR: ALESSANDRO CARLONI, JENNIFER YUH NELSON

One of the most successful ani-mated franchises in the world returns with its biggest comedy adventure yet, ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’. When Po’s long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda para-dise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible - learn to train a village full of his fun-loving,

clumsy brethren to become the ul-timate band of Kung Fu Pandas.

The film marks the return of the plump black-and-white bear who has only one aspiration - to become an expert in a martial art that requires agility, mental prow-

ess and lightning-fast reflexes. It was a formidable, if not impossible quest. But then Po doesn’t know the word “impossible.” He’s always striving to be the best he can be…to be his own hero.

FILM: SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLECAST: JASON SUDEIKIS, ALISON BRIE, JORDAN CARLOSDIRECTOR: LESLYE HEADLAND

After a one-night stand in col-lege, New Yorkers Lainey (Alison Brie) and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) meet by chance twelve years later and discover they each have the same problem: because of their monogamy-challenged ways, nei-ther can maintain a relationship. Determined to stay friends despite their mutual attraction, they make a pact to keep it platonic, a deal that proves easier said than done.

Q&a with Director Leslye Headland

‘Sleeping With Other People’ isn’t your typical romantic comedy is it?It really isn’t. People trash talk the Rom Com, but it’s one of the old-est cinematic genres with stellar origins like ‘Twentieth Century’ or ‘Trouble In Paradise’. I think as audiences lost their innocence the

genre lost its suspense. To create suspense you need obstacles. It’s really about giving characters in a Rom-Com true obstacles that very few people ever overcome: their own behavior and their past.

Tell us about stars Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie’s characters Jake and Lainey.The Jake and Lainey we meet at the beginning of the story, during their days at Columbia University, are so different than the people they become. They lost their vir-ginity to each other, and then ten

years later, we dive into these char-acters of these complex adults, re-ally seeing how sex and intimacy have materialized for them on their separate paths. Lainey is a serial cheater who can’t get over one man.

He’s a drug to her. He’s eve-rything to her and she can’t let it go. Jake has evolved from a late bloomer to a charming woman-izer. He can get anyone to sleep with him, but he’s completely ter-rified of getting his heart broken. He never sleeps with a woman he would care about losing.

FILM: SINKCAST: ANEL ALEXANDER, SHOKI MOKGAPA, JACqUES BESSENGER, AMALIA UYS, AS-ANTE MABUZADIRECTOR: BRETT MICHEAL INNES

Rachel (Shoki Mokgapa), a Mozambican domestic worker living in Johannesburg, is forced to make a life-changing deci-sion after her daughter, Maia, tragically dies whilst under the care of her South African employers, Michelle (Anel Alex-ander) and Chris Jordaan (Jacques Bes-senger). Does she quit her job and return to poverty stricken Mozambique, or con-tinue working for the people responsible for the death of her child so that she can keep her home, her visa and continue to support her family in Inhassoro? Things become even more complicated when she finds out that the Jordaans are ex-pecting their first child.

Rachel decides to stay, but struggles to come to terms with her loss while Michelle grapples with the guilt that she feels. Two women trapped in a house where one is an employer while the other is a servant. Chris finds himself in the middle of all this, trying to juggle his empathy for both his wife and his do-mestic worker.

Trapped by circumstance, ‘Sink’ ex-plores how three people from vastly dif-ferent backgrounds come to terms with loss and find a way to see each other through their pain.

The film was recently nominated for nine awards at the 2015 Silwerskerm Film Festival and walked away with five wins, including Best Screenplay, Best Edit, Best Score, Best Cinematography and Best Actress for Shoki Mokgapa.

2016 marks the film’s entry into the international film festival circuit, having recently been announced as official se-lection for the 40th Atlanta Film Festival.

Pork Belly should be succu-lent on the inside, with a de-licious covering of crackling that shatters when you bite

into it. As you know, the pig wears its fat on its back so it’s not as un-healthy as people say it is - pork is really rather lean.

Pork belly used to be one of the cheaper cuts of meat on the pig, but now it has become a very popular cut to eat at home and in restaurants. When choosing a piece of belly pork to prepare at home, choose a piece

that has an even fat to meat ratio. It’s delicious cooked on the bone, as it gives off lots of flavour. The other thing you have to remember is that the skin is really very tough, so you might have to ask your butcher to score the skin for you. I often cut the ribs away from the belly and sea-son the underside and the ribs, then I place the belly back onto the ribs and roast them together. That way I have the best of both worlds: ribs and belly in one dish.Now we all know that pork likes the

company of fruit, pineapple and ap-ples especially. One of the absolute best combinations is pork and plums. Ask any Chinese person, pork and plumbs are a match made in heaven.I would like to share a delicious rec-ipe of pork and plums from Justin Bonello with you.

Let’s cook!

Pork Belly & PlumsThis takes a bit of time and effort, but the moment you bite into this beauty, you’ll know that it was worth it!

Ingredients for the Belly:• 1.5 kg Free-Range Pork Belly,

skin scored• A decent glug of Olive Oil• A large pinch of Maldon Salt• Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Ingredients for the Marinade:• A big chunk of Ginger, grated• About 5 Garlic Cloves, crushed

and chopped• 5 tablespoons of Soya Sauce• 3 tablespoons of Dry Sherry• 2 tablespoons of Rice Wine Vin-

egar• A big squeeze of Honey• The juice of half an Orange

Method:Start by mixing all the marinade in-gredients together, cover the belly liberally and marinate in the fridge overnight, turning it a couple of times before you go to bed. The next day, take the belly out of

the fridge, allow to return to room temperature and preheat your oven to 220°C.Next it’s time to get the belly into the oven. Shake the excess marinade off the belly, dry the skin side with paper towel and rub the top and un-derside with olive oil, salt and pep-per. Heat a large roasting tin in the oven and once hot, place the pork skin side down and roast for about 15 minutes until the fat has caramel-ised (but be careful not to burn it!) Next, flip the belly around, reduce the oven heat to 160°C. Sprinkle the top of the belly with extra salt and slowly roast until you have beautiful crispy crackling.

Ingredients for the Plum Sauce:

• A decent glug of Olive Oil• 1 Red Onion, finely chopped• 2 Garlic Cloves, crushed and

chopped• 1 Red Chilli, seeded and finely

chopped• A big chunk of ginger, finely

chopped• A pinch of Ground Coriander• 1 Star Anise• 100g Caster Sugar• 2 handfuls of ripe Plums, quar-

tered and pitted• A big splash of Soya Sauce• 2 teaspoons of Fish Sauce

Ingredients:A small handful of Fresh Coriander, finely chopped.Check that the belly is crisping up in the oven, then about 20 minutes be-

fore you think it’s going to be ready, start making the plum sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a high heat, then add the onion, garlic, chilli, ginger, ground coriander and star anise. Once everything is sizzling away, add the sugar and stir until the onions have caramelised. Next, add the plum quarters, reduce the heat and simmer until the plums are soft – about 15 minutes. Take the onions and plum mixture off the heat then add the soya sauce, fish sauce and chopped coriander. Pour into bowl and allow to cool.

Serve the pork belly drizzled with the sauce and scattered with fresh cori-ander.

Foodies to be catered for at Community Chest Carnival with global cuisine

The Community Chest Carni-val returns this month and it will feature food from around the world, with the

addition of gourmet food trucks to satisfy the taste buds of Cape Town’s foodie community. The Vineyard Oval Market will be relocating for the four-day duration of the Carni-val, bringing with them a selection of their regular stalls as well as their loyal customer base, according to market organiser Antonio Mullins.

“We are showing our commit-ment to Community Chest Carnival through the support from our regular vendors and encouraging our cus-tomers to follow us too,” he said.

John Robinson will be bringing his Charming Spitbraai truck, a regu-lar at the Vineyard Oval Market. It’ll be his second year at the event. Also a regular at other Cape Town events, he serves his lamb spitbraai wraps and pita breads, chicken, lamb chops, boerewors, and crowd-pleasing burg-ers.

“I’m looking forward to being part of Community Chest Carnival again this year and supporting the event and what it stands for: a festival for good. We are happy to be doing our little bit to make the event a success, and making sure it continues for many years to come,” says Robinson.

Deon van Wulven is a co-convener of the Waffle Emporium, at Commu-nity Chest Carnival again this year and run by the Leo Club (the youth wing of the Lions Club).

“We run the funky diner-style waffle store at Carnival, and donate all our profits to the Community

Chest,” explains Van Wulven. “I like the vibe and everyone get-

ting together for a good cause. It’s such a great feeling to be a part of it. I love that we work hard all day and end up covered in sugar dust, but I can’t eat waffles for the rest of the year after that,” adds Van Wulven.

The waffles are named after ce-lebrities, with the most popular last year being the Jimi Hendrix, with toppings including marshmallows, Astros, hundreds and thousands, and crushed ice-cream cones.

Bringing crispy chip-sticks, soft serves and snow cones to the party will be Allan Conn of Shot in the Dark Events.

“We’ve hardly been at any func-

tions where we haven’t been a firm favourite,” he said. “But we just want to be part of it. It’s our first year at the Community Chest Carnival, and we’re really looking forward to be-ing involved with the community at large.”

Their signature dish is their 40cm “chip twister” on a stick, with an array of flavours from plain salt to BBQ, cheese and onion, salt and vin-egar or chutney.

They also sell “add-ons” of va-nilla soft-serve with dips, sprinkles or flakes, and snow cones in raspberry, cream soda, or orange – but the clear crowd favourite is their rainbow mix.

New to Cape Town, Lucille Was-sink will be serving fine Indian cui-

sine at her stall “Lucille’s” including butter chicken, biryanis, samoosas, and her signature mutton curry and mutton curry bunny chow.

“I also serve an assortment of veg-etables for vegans and vegetarians, and cauliflower rice for those on the Banting diet,” she said. “We don’t have anything like this in Durban, so it’s a completely new experience for me – I keep hearing that’s its really awesome and the vibe is really good.”

The Community Chest Carnival is one of the Mother City’s longest running and most successful fam-ily events. What began in 1951 as a theatrical garden party has evolved into a pageant of international food, local entertainment and family fun. The event annually attracts in excess 80000 people over four days.

The event has become a signature on the Community Chest’s fundrais-ing calendar and contributes to the support it provides to over 200 or-ganisations throughout the Western Cape.

* The Community Chest Carnival takes place at Maynardville Park in Wynberg from March 30 to April 2.Tickets will be available at the en-trance of the Carnival at R50 for adults, and R30 for children under the age of 18. Pensioners will receive complimentary access throughout the course of the event.For more information, visit www.comchest.org.za; or www.facebook.com/CommunityChestoftheWestern-Cape.Follow on Twitter: @CommChestWC

Autumn is here, bringing about a hue of colour to make your beauty stand out even more.

With the fashion industry in-troducing a rainbow of colours from goldy rusts to cool mints for this season, I have chosen the perfect makeup to go with this.

Keep in mind that day makeup should be minimal to give you a natural look and for a night out, go for rich colour for the eyes, a neat slick for eyeliner with vol-umes of mascara for thick, batty eyelashes, and add a shiny, mois-turizing lip-gloss to you comfort-able wear lipstick.

I have chosen these super products for this season.

Look your best during autumnCatrice Tinted Lip Gloss balm This soft and smooth lip balm in-tensifies the natural colour of your lips and tints it with a subtle touch of pink. The colour varies, depend-ing on the individual’s pH balance of the skin on your lips. The result is a pretty pink glow on the lips with an added shine.

nivea naturally Even hand creamThis super-rich hand cream is especially made to nourish and moistur-ise dry hands. It is avail-able in a tube which makes it easy to carry in your handbag.

Revlon Colorstay ConcealerApply under eyes and dark areas before ap-plying foundation. This concealer works well to hide those uneven flaws.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine This lipstick in temeraire colour is just perfect for the night. It is light and glossy and does not dry out the lips. Definitely a must-have for this season.

Estee Lauder Idealist even skin illuminatorSuitable for all skin types, this magic potion feels like silk on the skin. Best used under your moisturizer.

nimue Lip balm Moisturizes lips without the sticki-ness. This is the ideal protection for dry, chapped lips. Can also be used before applying a matte lipstick to give lips added moisture and comfort

L’Oreal Volume Millions de CilsThis mascara is exactly what it says and brings eyelashes to life. The perfect comb carefully separates eyelashes and it gives them volumes of thick lashes
