City exploration
Editor’s ExclusiveCLAIRE BARNARDO
With the glorious weather now, I’ve vowed to spend more time outdoors and there’s just
so much to do! For starters, be a tourist in your own city. Here in the Mother City, The Cape Town Partnership has developed the City Walk – following on from the Fan Walk success during the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. The route starts in the Company’s Gardens, continues down St George’s Mall to Waterkant Street, and progresses up the Fan Walk to St Andrew’s Square.
It connects signifi cant places in the urban heart of Cape Town through storytelling, public art, walking tours and retail o� erings. By extending daytime foot tra� c into the evenings and over weekends, it aims to activate the CBD as a 24-hour city.
The City Walk also now forms part of the revised Big 6 most visited attractions – the Big 7: the Robben Island Museum, the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, Groot Constantia, Table Mountain Cableway, and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. This is truly impactful work around public-space activation, as well as encouraging trade in the city. Why not look out for what’s happening in your city too?
DID YOU KNOW?
With its natural geographic design, Cape
Town’s CBD is seen as the safest and
cleanest inner city in South Africa and
is an asset for how the city is positioned
in terms of liveability and tourism
desirability.

One&Only Cape Town021 431 5888capetown.oneandonlyresorts.com
When I was a young child, I read Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree, a story about
the magical land of birthdays. Here, children sat down at a table and every kind of delicious treat they could imagine appeared before them. They could eat as many cakes, cookies, sweets and treats as they liked. It sounded like heaven!
I’m pleased to report I have finally located this heavenly spot at the One&Only hotel’s Vista Bar & Lounge in Cape Town. Head patissier Kyle Hickman is the mastermind behind this cornucopia of delights, recently promoted and obviously taking great joy in his work.
The pastry team is all about wowing their guests, as you’ll see from the groaning tables of multicoloured macaroons (the lemon poppy seed variety were outstanding); delicate cheesecakes; chocolate mousse cakes with intricate icing; and the most delicious éclairs decorated with gold leaf.
There’s an impressive spread of South African treats (including koeksisters and milk tart cupcakes), a rainbow of sweet treats like fresh, yellow marshmallow twists and bright pink meringues, and home-made versions of things I thought were bought only in stores… Fresh nougat and caramels, anyone? And the biscuits! Oh, the biscuits. Peanut butter cookies, signature One&Only chocolate sandwich biscuits, almond and cranberry biscotti, and homemade amaretti biscuits. Perfect accompaniments to the wide choice of loose leaf teas, coffees or hot chocolate.
The joy of afternoon tea at the One&Only is that you can pile your plate as high as you like while savouring the beautiful surrounds: comfortable tables and lounge chairs in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, with the most breathtaking view of Table Mountain. It’s a storybook tea party in one of the prettiest spots in the Mother City. What more could you ask for?

Spier Secret Festivalspiersecret.co.zaemail [email protected]
Sustainability, urban farming and artisan foods are far more than current buzzwords: there’s
a genuine shift towards becoming more connected to where our food comes from. With 300ha devoted to ethically produced meat and vegetables, Stellenbosch wine estate Spier has long been a supporter of biodynamic farming. Its annual Secret Festival on 29 to 30 October, brings prominent food fundis together for an inspiring conference with interactive talks and workshops.
According to festival organiser Hannerie Visser the Spier Secret festival is a platform to celebrate craftsmanship, artisanal methods, knowledge sharing, co-creation and a creative approach to food and wine making. “This year, there is a strong focus on natural food and sustainable practices.”
As well as international speakers and chefs sharing their expertise, attendees can enjoy a variety of activities, inclu-ding a cheese-making workshop and sensory tastings that explore links between sound and taste. The day’s food explorations round o� with a zero-waste lunch, prepared by chef PJ Vadas, who has just opened his Hog

Psst. Over here!The Spier Secret Festival combines an inspiring food conference with the launch of a new organic market
House Café and Bakery in the restored Jonkershuis at Spier. In the lead-up to the festival, a series of secret dinners brought foodies together in unusual settings for journeys of taste discovery.
An edible perfume dinner with Tammy Frazier was memorable in its encouragement of guests to experiment by adding fl avoured and perfumed oils to the various dishes, interacting dynamically through the palate, rather than simply consuming their food.
While most of us don’t have the resour-ces or space to grow food for ourselves, buying from small producers that we trust is a way forward. Saturday 31 October sees the launch of Spier Werf Market.“We’ve curated a selection of ethical producers who o� er everything from organic seasonal vegetables to grass-fed beef, sulphite-free bacon and the freshest outdoor eggs,” says Hannerie of the market, which runs every Saturday morning from the launch onwards. “This is a family-friendly gathering where ugly fruit is beautiful, worms stay in hotels and people earnestly swap seeds and share food. That said, if you’re more into sipping wine on a grass bank under a tree, that works too.”

Even though it has been a feature for only a few decades, the TV lounge is often the defining social space in
most homes. When TVs were large, boxy appliances, it was easy to make them the focal point of the room, and they dictated the layout of the furniture accordingly.
With shifts in technology first slimming down TV sets and then diverting viewers to the additional screens of laptops and tablets, however, the old order is no more.
Media consumption has become increasingly fragmented and, as a result, designers are rethinking the traditional TV room entirely to provide solutions more in line with how we live today.

There are two main responses designers have taken towards changing media habits. The first accepts the new viewing habits and designs new pieces of furniture as a result. These can take the form of personal pods and modular designs, but the more mainstream pieces simply integrate additional features into existing silhouettes. The MyWorld sofa by Philippe Starck for Cassina, for example, hides tech accessories and charging cables in the arm of the piece for easy access when you want to move from one screen to another.
The more reactionary approach, however, has been to reimagine what media technology can be. Here designers seek
to bring TVs back into the centre of focus rather than relegating them to the wall or corner. The new Serif concept TV, by the Bouroullec Brothers for Samsung, does exactly that. By giving the device weight and sculptural presence, the designers compensate for the slimming down of technology and justify the set’s prominent placement in a room.
As the media landscape continues to evolve, these two approaches to spatial design will become more prominent in the coming years. The one individual homeowners choose to align themselves with is a matter of personal preference, but the space is evolving and the challenge is for designers to keep up.

Whether it’s public, private, or home-schooling, here’s the gist of each
Choosing the type of school system that best suits your child’s needs as well as yours,
is no easy feat. It probably ranks high on parents’ stress lists. But looking into options will help you understand which pathway to choose.
Home-schoolingLegal in South Africa since 1996, home-schooling is growing in popularity. Curriculum providers like Clonard Distance Education have noticed a marked increase in the number of parents choosing to home-school their children.
Why home-schooling? Many parents feel that their children are falling through the gaps at state schools as the teachers do not have the capacity to provide the valuable attention that their children require due to the ever increasing size of the classes; or the child doesn’t fi t into the class, has a learning di� culty and needs more attention with tasks.
The pros: a� ordable, good one-on-one attention, quality control, a safe environment, and available to everyone.
The cons: requires parental commitment and time, less
socialisation for the learner, and no peer competition.
Public schoolingPublic schooling is the most popular form of schooling in South Africa and comprises approximately 97% of the schools in the country. Public schools depend entirely on the government for funding and supplies. Each province is responsible for ensuring its schools are equipped and have enough money to run properly. As a result, standards vary immensely, depending on the e� ciency and wealth of the province.
Why public schooling?For many middle to lower earning parents this is the cheaper option, although there are public schools that are more expensive than most. The enrolment process is a lot simpler than private schooling and students may be o� ered a fairly good to excellent education.
The pros: belonging to a normal system, integration of students into a relatively normal social environment, and there are usually many public schools in one given area, so travelling could be easier.
The challenges: schools are full, classes are large ratios to teacher,
less student to teacher interaction, and students often don’t receive the attention they require to achieve well.
Private schoolingSouth Africa is home to a number of world-class private schools. These schools are run separately from the government and are funded, maintained and conducted by a private group. Because it is privately funded, school fees at these institutions are high.
Why private schooling?Though often associated with only the most elite South Africans, private schooling seems to address parents’ concerns for both home-schooling and public schooling. Private schools tend to have much smaller classes, and your child gets the benefi t of being able to socialise with other children their age.
The pros: smaller classes and individual attention, wider range of school subjects, strong parental involvement, less bureaucracy, and private schools often have a higher standard of education.
Challenges: very expensive and out of reach for many, and they often have more prerequisites than public schools in order to attend.

Tips for harmonious studyingWORDS: LAUREN ALBERTYN IMAGE: ISTOCK
Studying made easy with a few simple tips
S tudying is hard – this is what any student will tell you from primary school all the way to
university. We could all use a little help to minimise the stress of it all. What better way than with a few helpful tips from someone who’s been through it?
Quick tips to get you started:• Colour code your material.• Make frequent contact with teachers/
tutors/lecturers.• Set regular study schedules.• If you’re able to concentrate with
background music, check out Olafur Arnalds on YouTube.
Let’s get going!• Develop organisational systems that
will work for you. Remember that learning to be organised takes time and practice, so don’t give up. You may just need more time to become accustomed to it.
• Avoid distractions in your study space. If your study space includes any media, it’s probably not the best place for you to study. Choose a space that doesn’t have a lot of tempting distractions available.
• Keep all of your books/notebooks for each class together on a labelled shelf. When you then need to grab the materials, they’re all in one place, making it less likely for you to forget something.
• Reward yourself! Positive reinforcement is an amazing thing. When you have completed tasks, reward yourself in small ways. This can be anything from allowing yourself to take a 10 minute break to treating yourself to a movie. This will help to avoid procrastinating!
• Schedule time to complete your assignments based on anticipated
time on task and urgency. Once you know all the assignments that you need to complete, determine their deadlines and estimate how long it will take to fi nish each one. You can then prioritise your tasks and set a clear schedule for completing them.
• Use an academic planner to keep track of your assignments, deadlines, and appointments. By having all this information in one place, you’ll know exactly where to look to fi nd out what you need to do.
• Use shorter, less grammatically correct sentences, since you are the only one who will be reviewing your notes. This will enable you to take notes faster and will reduce the risk of falling behind.
• Divide your study time into blocks separated by quick breaks. It is most e� ective to study in 30 to 45 minute blocks of time, allowing yourself quick 3 to 5 minute breaks in between. This approach gives you time to focus while also allowing time to relax and re-energise.
• Create and save study guides and aids. Students often wait until the night before big tests to start creating study aids. Instead, you should create study aids for each test that you have in a class. Once the tests are completed, you should save your study aids for upcoming exams.
• Learn how to e� ectively communicate with your teachers/lecturers/tutors. They’re there to provide guidance and support. You’ll fi nd that most are more than happy to provide additional instruction and extra help. This also shows that you care about your academic performance. By e� ectively communicating with them, you can help maintain and increase your class grades.

says that young, upwardly mobile people who wanted to get on the property ladder would previously have moved out of Soweto, but now that there are so many great property investment options in Soweto itself, they are choosing to stay.
See� ’s Shawn Mackrell says the same thing is happening to middle-aged buyers who originally moved out of Soweto and bought property elsewhere. “Many of them are returning and trying to get back into the property market here,” he says. “Younger buyers especially are favouring upmarket suburbs like Diepkloof extension 1 and Orlando West, where property can cost upwards of R1m.”
Kena Kekana, owner of the Rawson Property Group franchise in Soweto, says that there is now a serious shortage of homes for sale in the older parts of Soweto, such as Orlando and Dube. “Many of the existing residents in these areas don’t want to move as they’re established and have convenient access to transport and other facilities,” she says.
Whatever your budget or the area you choose to live in, it’s clear that Soweto is loved for its rich history, its accessibility to the rest of Joburg, its extensive amenities and a unique energy – all thanks to the interesting people who call it home.
Soweto is a place
in South Africa like no other. Packed
with history, the area was directly linked to the
discovery of gold and, although it once may have been a dusty
township, the development has been staggering − today it has 37
suburbs. According to Shawn Mackrell, master licensee for See� : Johannesburg
South, Alberton and Soweto, increased house prices in Soweto are due to an
infl ux of middle class residents, with a� ordable property prices and easy access to the city centre adding to the appeal.
Resident Fortune Ringane agrees, citing Soweto’s accessibility as a key reason for living there. “There are so many transport options and it’s a very convenient area to stay in,” she says. The upgraded road infrastructure and Rea Vaya, the City of Johannesburg’s new bus rapid transport system, are two such examples.
Home to about 40% of the total Johannesburg population, Soweto has a unique energy not found in many other
places. “It’s very vibey and friendly,” says Fortune, “and there are so many
entertainment options that you really don’t need to go anywhere else”. She
cites the iconic FNB stadium – built for the 2010 Soccer World Cup
and shaped like a calabash – as her favourite place to spend
time, and she regularly goes to watch Orlando
Pirates play.
Khotso Motau grew up in So we to and mentions Sakhumzi Restaurant and Bar as being one of the best known in the area. Opened in 2001, Sakhumzi is situated on the famous Vilakazi Street, the original home of both Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
It has grown from humble beginnings to one of the hottest spots on the tourist trail. But it’s not just for tourists. On weekends you’ll fi nd it packed with middle class Sowetans, all enjoying the signature bu� et featuring mogodu (tripe), stews, pap, samp and other tasty dishes.
Khotso says that many former Soweto residents who now live elsewhere often return to the area on weekends. “I live in Weltevreden Park and I have friends who live in Illovo, but on weekends we all head back to Soweto because it feels like home,” he says. Dichaba Meat Lounge and Beer Garden in Orlando West is another of Khotso’s favourite places to hang out, while resident Mlungisi Taleng mentions Nambitha as being his favourite restaurant, with its soul food that includes traditional African dishes.
Looking for a bit of retail therapy? You’ve come to the right place. Fortune names the world-class Maponya and Jabulani malls as an indication of how much the area has developed, with their extensive lists of top retailers and eating establishments.
The growth of Soweto has been rapid indeed. “Soweto no longer looks like a township – it looks more like the suburbs north of the city,” says Fortune. Development has, however,
been achieved in a unique way and Khotso says Soweto has “become
Westernised, but in a town-ship way”. Mlungisi

A recent Residential Building Statistics report indicates that buyers have been choosing to buy newly built rather than pre-owned homes this year
Buying brand new
An increasing number of buyers are choosing to buy newly built rather than pre-owned
homes due to advantages such as no transfer duty payable, possible easier fi nancing and minimal maintenance for the fi rst fi ve years after purchase. A recent Residential Building Statistics report by Absa indicates growth in the number of new housing units constructed in the fi rst seven months of 2015 at 6,3% year on year totalling almost 22,000 units built.
Maggie Rowley, communications manager: Rabie Property Group, says a major benefi t of newly built homes is that the buyer is able to secure a property at today’s market price and make payment only about 18 months later. This means that by the time of payment there would’ve been an average capital growth of around 15% in value. She says sales in new developments also include Vat and no transfer duty is payable by the buyer.
“Other benefi ts of newly built homes are features such as high speed fi bre optic connectivity, central hot water heating systems and up-to-date fi nishes. With everything new, there should be minimal maintenance for the fi rst fi ve years. However, with pre-owned homes,
the buyer may need to accommodate upgrade expenses,” says Rowley. Shaun Rademeyer, CEO: BetterLife Home Loans, says new developments by established companies are often pre-approved by a lender, making it easier for prospective buyers to obtain home loans. He says developers often give buyers the opportunity to choose fi ttings and fi nishes, and sometimes the chance to customise the layout of their new homes. “New homes come with certain structural guarantees and comply with green design and building principles
making them more eco-friendly and energy-e� cient, which means less maintenance and long-term savings for owners. However, there are some pitfalls to avoid with newly built homes, including deposit scams, too many extras and upgrades, no completion date and no provision to rectify problems on the property,” says Rademeyer. Tony Clarke, managing director: Rawson Property Group, says buying o� -plan can be a great investment under the right circumstances, especially for people who want something new and customisable. He says many developments signifi cantly appreciate in value over the building period raising the unit price two or three times before completion and, if bought early, buyers often make a signifi cant profi t. “Do research before buying into a development to clearly understand the process, neighbourhood and value of similar properties sold nearby. Investigating the developer’s track record, fi nancial standing, workmanship and reliability is paramount. If you’re willing to buy something that doesn’t yet exist and do research, there’s a good chance you’ll gain a rapidly appreciating asset for minimal investment,” says Clarke.

As the mother of two children under six, Mbali Nzimande was looking for a three-bedroom
home in an area that was safe and secure – and had a friendly neighbourhood feel. She fi nally found what she was looking for. Here, she tells us why she loves her new home and area.
Q: How did you fi nd your property? A: After two years of househunting,
and many disappointments along the way, I met Mike Mangena at Harcourts Real Estate. He showed me the perfect three-bedroom house and now it’s my home.
Q: What do you wish you’d known before you started looking?
A: There are some dodgy sellers out there! I had previously made successful o� ers on two other properties, only to have things fall apart right before transfer. Working with an agent who is honest – and from a reputable agency – has made all the di� erence. I wish I had done that from the start.
Q: What do you love about your new home?
A: It was perfect when we moved in – and nothing needed to be fi xed up. I was heavily pregnant at the time, so it was a big relief not to have any hidden surprises to deal with. The previous owners had done a wonderful job with the garden and it’s one of my favourite features of the property.
Q: Did you know exactly which area you wanted to be in?
A: I was fl exible on the area, as long as it felt safe and secure.
Q: What’s your favourite thing about the area?
A: The houses are all well looked after, and the streets are clean and safe. My neighbours have been very friendly and welcoming, and it just feels like a great area to raise my kids.
Q: Where’s your favourite local coffee spot?
A: I have my hands full with a new baby, so for now, my favourite co� ee spot is at home, enjoying my garden!

Lessons from Raymond Ackerman
I t is almost impossible to have a conversation about Pick n Pay these days without discussing
Stickeez. The tiny plastic toys assumed something of a cult status in the short time that their invasion lasted.
However, ten years ago a mention of Pick n Pay would not immediately have conjured up an image of pu� y plastic wrapper. The fi rst thing to come to mind would more likely have been the name of the founder of the business: Raymond Ackerman.
He has been out of the public eye for some time, but for many decades Ackerman was one of the most recognisable and respected businessmen in the country. He built Pick n Pay from four small shops in Cape Town in 1967 into what was, at its peak, easily the biggest supermarket chain in the country.
There is no question that Ackerman was a visionary. He developed the idea of self-service retail in South Africa, essentially bringing the supermarket culture to this country.
This was however more than just a business idea. It was the essential starting point of Ackerman’s belief in customer sovereignty – that serving the customer rather than trying to make more money should be the mission of the business.
As Pick n Pay’s success has proven, this is not a sentimental ideal. Putting your customers’ needs ahead of everything else makes seriously good business sense.
“If you fi ght for the consumer, she will look after you,” is how Ackerman puts it. And long before Smart Shopper cards and Stickeez promotions, the customer loyalty enjoyed by Pick n Pay proved his point.
It is a pity then that Ackerman remains something of an outlier in the business world on this point. For most, profi ts come fi rst.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with this as it is a key motivation for any company to exist in the fi rst place. However, it is problematic when it leads to the sort of corporate behaviour that has been in spotlight recently: Volkswagen cheating on emissions tests, Lewis levying unemployment insurance on credit given to pensioners, or Banks manipulating foreign exchange trades.
In this environment, it is di� cult for anyone to trust any business that says it always acts in its customer’s best interests. Some will even argue that Pick n Pay itself got too big to really honour Ackerman’s philosophy.
Companies, however, have to realise that they can’t exist outside of the society that gives them life in the fi rst place. There is nothing wrong with making money, but when it comes at the expense of your own customers, you must ask if you aren’t jeopardising your own survival.
Pick n Pay now has a market capitalisation of around
R31 billion

There are mixed opinions on the viability of investing in the local holiday home market, but fi nding the right homes in the right areas can secure a solid nest egg for retirement
When is a holiday home a good investment?
Ling Dobson, area principal in Pam Golding Properties in Knysna and Plettenberg Bay,
believes that second-home owners are not merely planning a lifetime of holidays, but making smart investments. “Holiday homes in secure estates o� er an asset yield over the years while the property is used for holidays, and often the holiday house becomes the owner’s future retirement destination,” she says. “Holiday towns ‘grow’ and accommodation becomes a premium – so it also becomes a rental opportunity.”
Richard Arderne, area principal for Pam Golding Properties in St Francis Bay, feels that status and convenience are some of the top reasons a� uent individuals enter the holiday home market. At the same time, property in the right area has the potential to earn signifi cant rentals over peak seasons, with some monthly rentals exceeding R250,000 over the festive season.
Where to buyLew Ge� en, chairman of Lew Ge� en Sotheby’s International Realty, reiterates that if the right location is chosen, the property could prove a wonderful nest egg for retirement. According him, popular locations are the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal and the coastal and winelands regions of the Western Cape, with smaller coastal towns such as Plettenberg Bay and Wilderness also fairing well.
If buying purely for investment purposes, See� recommends saving for
a property in an area that will always be in high demand, such as Clifton on the Atlantic Seaboard. However, See� does admit that there is potential and possibilities for those looking to enjoy the investment in their favourite South African spot while earning returns on an investment that is generally less volatile than the stock market.
Holiday home 101See� Properties chairman Samuel See� explain factors to consider before entering the holiday home market:• Do your homework, buy well within
your means and spread your assets.• Budget carefully, know the
costs involved and do not bet on holiday rentals. Tourism is susceptible to economic volatility – domestic and international.
• Understand that bricks and mortar is an asset that requires hands-on management or the services of a very credible estate agent, and security.
• While property is an investment, it is not delivering stellar returns right now. Values have increased but holiday areas are especially susceptible to economic volatility.
When the 2007/8 economic crisis hit, many holiday and second-home owners desperately tried to o� oad their properties and soon the market was fl ooded. Combined with almost no demand, this led to a tough downturn for the property market. Most areas have still not recovered to pre-2007/8 sales levels.

Q: HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY CREDIT SCORE?
A: Your credit health is important, as it will inform banks of your borrowing and repayment behaviour with credit providers over time.
• Your credit score is an important indication of your credit health. Banks use this score to determine whether you have met previous repayment obligations and whether you are able to repay your home loan.
• The credit bureaux provide easy access to your credit records through their websites. You are entitled to one free credit report per annum and could perform a self-assessment to gauge your creditworthiness.
• The report contains information about your loans, credit cards and retail accounts, and displays how much credit you are using, as well as the credit available to you.
Banks look carefully at borrowers before they lend money. What the bank looks out for can be summarised in the four Cs of credit:
1. CharacterFrom your credit history the bank will determine whether you possess the honesty and reliability to repay your debts. Considerations may include:• whether you have used credit before• how long you have lived at
your present address• whether you pay your bills on time• how long you have been
at your present job.
2. CapitalThe bank will want to know if you have valuable assets such as property, investments, or savings with which to repay debt if income is unavailable.
3. CapacityThis refers to your ability to repay the debt. The bank will look to see if you have been working regularly in an occupation that is likely to provide enough income to support your credit use.
4. CollateralCollateral is an additional source of security that you can use to assure the bank that you have other loan repayment sources. In the case of a home loan the bank will require the property that you are buying as security for the loan.

There are mixed opinions on the viability of investing in the local holiday home market, but fi nding the right homes in the right areas can secure a solid nest egg for retirement
Parklands North is situated just above Parklands (north of Sandown Road) and is coming
into its own as a desirable suburb. It’s also a prime example of what happens when a suburb’s statistics are lumped together. In isolation the property statistics don’t always give a completely accurate picture of what is happening in a particular suburb.
Deon Lessing, principal of Chas Everitt Western Seaboard, says although Lightstone stats indicate that around 545 properties in Parklands have been transferred so far this year, this fi gure incorporates all the property in the area. He estimates that between 10 and 15 properties in Parklands North are sold on a monthly basis.
“In essence Parklands North has become ‘upper’ Parklands,” he says. The reason for this is that the price range of properties is narrow, and thus of similar status.
Lower-end homes are priced just under the R2m mark while high-end homes fetch prices in the upper R2m. A three- to four-bedroom, two-bathroom home measuring approximately 245m2 in this area is currently selling for R2,4m, unlike the typical Parklands mix which generally
sell from between R550,000 and R2m.Lew Ge� en Sotheby’s International Realty area specialist Lydia Johnstone says Parklands North is regarded as more upmarket than its neighbours as it features generally larger, more modern homes and more free-standing properties. There are more sectional title and cluster homes in neighbouring suburbs such as Sunningdale. Parklands North is also perceived to be a safer neighbourhood.
She says property in this area is usually snapped up within weeks of being released onto the market, partly because the properties are very realistically priced and investors get a lot more house for their money. According to Lessing, buyers shouldn’t paint Parklands North with the same brush as some of the high-density areas situated within Parklands. “Although Parklands still o� ers very good pockets around the R1,5m mark, these homes are older and often access to these pockets are via the high-density areas”.

Combining the best aspects of estate living with award-winning advances in estate
design, Buh-Rein Estate not only raises the benchmark, but redefi nes it
New developments are attractive to fi rst-time buyers as all costs are included and, in most cases,
no deposit is required. There are also many buyers who simply wish to scale down. Regardless of their motivation, security remains a primary driver of consumer demand and this pushed MSP Developments to reinvent their approach to new housing developments.
Population growth is by far the strongest driver when it comes to the demand for housing because everyone needs a place to live. In the Western Cape, the geography of the Peninsula dictates that current and future expansion of the urban edge will take place in the Northern Suburbs. That is why the Cape Metro’s Spatial Development Plan provides for up to 40,000 new homes to be developed in this area over the next two decades. 40% of MSP

MSP
Multi Spectrum Property (MSP) Developments is a leading multidisciplinary residential developer in the Western Cape, who operates from Tyger Valley in Cape Town’s northern suburbs.
MSP Developments won the Govan Mbkei Housing Award, the Home Builder of the Year Award and the South African Planning Institute (SAPI) award for the most innovatively designed lifestyle estate. Since 2001 they have provided homes to thousands of families.
MSP Developments has built over 4,000 homes and is one of the largest private developers in Cape Town, as well as one of the biggest affordable housing developers.
Developments’ buyers are investors who see the opportunity that strong rental demand holds for them, and the other 60% are owner-occupiers.
Young families from the Southern Suburbs are buying because there is little a� ordable stock, whereas Northern Suburbs’ buyers want to escape the rental trap by securing their own home. The strong demand from “semigrants” – those relocating to the Western Cape from up north – play a huge part.
Combining the best aspects of estate living with award-winning advances in estate design, Buh-Rein Estate not only raises the benchmark, but redefi nes it. MSP Developments strive to create a secure estate environment that binds the community through the establishment of a homeowners’ association that looks after common interests, such as security
