The real housewives of Southport
Price range: R69.00 through R159.00When Marion Faure and her husband retire to the quiet coastal village of Southport, she expects peaceful days, sea air,
and a simple life. What she doesn’t expect is loneliness—or the hilarious, fearless group of women she will soon call friends. After forming an informal coffee club, “The Real Housewives of Southport” quickly become a tight-knit circle of sharp-tongued, big-hearted ladies who love their community as fiercely as they tease one another. But when they uncover a crooked developer’s plan to buy up beachfront homes through intimidation, sabotage, and back-door deals, these ordinary women turn into an unlikely force of justice. Armed with wit, wine, and a mischievous sense of adventure, the group launches “Project Stronzo”—a bold, risky mission to expose corruption and protect the village they love. Heartwarming, laugh-out-loud funny, and filled with sisterhood, this charming tale celebrates friendship, courage, and the power of a united community.
My Goliat vir altyd

Haar bekende pa toer in Nederland en sy wend haar na die moderne tegnologie vir ʼn oplossing. Sy klik impulsief op ’n profiel met die naam Goliat. ’n Eenvoudige boodskap verander haar lewe: “Trou met my asseblief?” Wat begin as ’n ontsnapping, word gou iets dieper. Ruan, die rustige boer met ’n geheime plan, wil hê sy nuwe vrou moet hom leer ken vir wie hy is – nie vir die rykdom wat agter sy naam skuil nie. Maar twee mense uit verskillende wêrelde dra albei geheime, en die waarheid kan hul liefde bou… of vernietig. Tussen die plaas, drome en teleurstellings, ontdek Amy dat haar Goliat nie net ’n man van krag is nie, maar ook een met ’n brose hart. En dalk – net dalk – is sy sy prinses vir altyd.
Mjejane and the Kruger National Park Region
Price range: R99.00 through R350.00Mjejane has been described by one of its visitors as follows: The first time I visited Mjejane, I was captivated by the beauty of nature and the tranquillity of the surroundings. After turning off the N4, we made our way to the Mjejane River Lodge. Along the route, we passed a naboom tree the largest and most beautiful I have ever seen. Further on, we came across a natural waterhole right beside the road, where a large herd of buffalo, accompanied by playful warthogs, were drinking and enjoying the mud.
At the Lodge, we were enchanted by the large fig and marula trees in the area. A particular highlight was watching a woodland kingfisher repeatedly returning to its nest to feed its young. Another unforgettable moment was observing the warthog family residing on the premises wandering through the Lodge s lounge on their way to the pool. These are some of my most cherished experiences. Sitting with my feet in the pool, a beer in hand, and watching animals like hippo, buffalo, giraffe, and elephant from such close proximity was truly magnificent.
