Women’s Lifestyle Expo brings you the top 5 self-preservation rules every woman should know

Women’s Lifestyle Expo brings you the top 5 self-preservation rules every woman should know:

A young girl has a far greater chance of being raped in South Africa, than learning to read. This horrific statistic brings home the reality of the country’s violent crime, specifically against females, and it’s time for every woman to act. This is why Mark Grobbelaar, founder of Women INpowerment (WIP) will be on hand to get you ‘boxing smart’ at this year’s Women’s Lifestyle Expo – brought to you by FMI – taking place at Montecasino Piazza on 29 and 30 September.

After the rape and attempted murder of Alison Botha in 1994, her close friend, Mark Grobbelaar, was driven to make a difference…and so he developed WIP: “South Africa is the rape capital of the world with one woman raped every 20 seconds. Women need to get INpowered so that they don’t become yet another victim,” said Mark Grobbelaar. “WIP is an extremely simple yet remarkably effective self-INpowerment system that has been designed specifically for women.”

Mark has outlined his top 5 rules for self-INpowerment:

1. Be prepared

Every woman I’ve ever spoken to, when asked the question, ‘What would you do if you thought you were going to get raped or murdered?’ has either said: ‘I don’t know’, or ‘I think…’. As a woman, you need to learn to immobilise a man even twice your size before finding yourself in that situation. Be prepared.

2. Never underestimate anyone

Just because a man – or woman – might seem physically less dominant than yourself, it’s important not to assume you will have the upper hand. We also often feel a social responsibility to take a more lenient approach with strangers, rather than risk a socially awkward situation. If you don’t feel comfortable, get out of that situation.

3. Trust your instincts

Everyone has ‘the gift of fear’ and women tend to have quite an acute sixth sense for danger. Although you can’t live your life completely paranoid, you can err on the side of caution. If a situation or individual gives you an uneasy feeling, take yourself out of that situation or get some distance.

4. Never go to a second location

Things always get worse at the second place – always. People often use weapons to get what they want – be that your car, phone or any other valuables. At the first place, chances of survival are 95%, and they drop dramatically to less than 35% at the second place.

5. Know you have a choice

Society dictates that as a woman, there are certain things you can’t do. But as a father of a soon-to- be-teenage daughter, I believe that’s a load of rubbish. I want my daughter to grow up with a strong self-esteem, knowing that she can overcome anything. WIP will give you belief that you have a choice in any life-threatening situation. Just recently, our very own Miss South Africa/Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel Peters punched a potential hijacker in the throat, and managed to get away safely, after learning the simple technique in WIP.

“At the Women’s Lifestyle Expo I will be doing an introductory talk and short workshops on Women INpowerment, unpacking the rules and what you can and can’t do!” explained Mark.

Helen Johns, co-founder of Women’s Lifestyle Expo, said the WIP programme resonated with the underlying essence of the event: “This is a space for enlightenment, for connecting, for relaxation and, overall, for female empowerment. WIP is about empowering women, not by giving them something new, but by making them realise the power was always within them. Women are not about just talk, we are about action and impact and this comes through in the WIP programme.”

In addition to learning some life-saving skills, the Women’s Lifestyle Expo promises a multisensory experience for women across the generations. You can expect:

• Informative talks on health, wealth and lifestyle by industry experts
• On-trend fashion styles, accessories and cosmetics
• Pamper sessions and beauty treatments
• Delicious dining at the food emporium
• Networking opportunities with South Africa’s leading influencers

Motorised Adjustable Sleep Solution Photo: Vencasa

All About Adjustables

Vencasa, The World Leaders in Sleep, and the only home of Tempur and Magniflex, prides itself on being the trusted source of information and suppliers of brands that are trailblazers and at the forefront of the sleep industry.

We all cherish a powerful, deep, good and rejuvenating sleep – yet so many of us are sleep deprived for a variety of reasons. Did you know that driving sleep deprived is equivalent to driving drunk – in terms of mental alertness?

Vencasa provides a customised sleep solution to help you ‘power your sleep’ and benefit the most from your sleep time. Their range of Motorised Adjustable Sleep Systems promises to make sleeping a healthy and restorative experience! They are designed to accommodate different positions as they recline and incline in two parts, the upper body and lower body.

Benefits of Adjustable Bed Bases
• Your body sleeps in an ergonomically correct position.
• Distributes pressure evenly over the entire sleep surface which reduces strain on the heart, circulatory system, neck and shoulder tension, back pain, muscle and joint pain, asthma, acid reflux and snoring.
• Therefore, a motorised adjustable base system helps improve circulation, relieves back pain, reduces snoring and can even help obstructive sleep apnoea and improve digestion.
• Elevating your legs while you sleep means your heart doesn’t have to work as hard to circulate blood to your legs and can reduce and relieve swelling and pain to the lower extremities.
• In pregnancy, backache, snoring and swollen legs and feet are all common complaints. Adjustable bed bases can alleviate these symptoms as well as simply providing a more comfortable resting position for women whilst their bodies are not quite “their own”.

Vencasa, The Sleep Experts, offer a wide range of motorised adjustable beds to choose from, from just R 8 999. As they know that your body, mind and soul deserve quality sleep, and provide a range of exceptional sleep solutions to ensure it.

Cell C Launches UltraBonus That Triples Your Recharge Every Time

Cell C Launches UltraBonus That Triples Your Recharge Every Time:


UltraBonus, which is available from Thursday, 19 July, is in line with Cell C’s commitment to bring customers the best value for money.

“We want to bring value to South Africans who are feeling the pinch of the increased cost of living. We decided to launch UltraBonus as our default prepaid tariff plan and believe this will go a long way in making the cost to stay connected more affordable. With all this great value, we believe our customers will be able to further stretch their hard-earned rands,” says Cell C Chief Commercial Officer, Junaid Munshi.

No matter the recharge amount, with UltraBonus, customers will receive three times the value every time they recharge. Customers receive 100% bonus value of the recharge amount, which is valid for calls to any local network (including Cell C) as well as for SMS and data. In addition, they will receive another 100% bonus value of the recharge amount for Cell C to Cell C calls as well as SMS and data.

“This means that by simply being a Cell C customer you get 200% added value on top of your recharge value to make more calls, send more SMS and enjoy even more data on our quality, high-speed nationwide network,” adds Munshi.

Example: A R50 recharge will give customers R150 in airtime value

Bonus airtime is valid for 24 hours from the recharge date and time, but can be extended with additional recharges, prior to the bonus value expiring. Bonus value that applies to data therefore does not expire for as long as customers recharge prior to expiry. The bonus airtime cannot be used to purchase bundles, pay for premium-rated services nor can it be transferred.

Since it’s the default prepaid tariff plan, all new customers who join Cell C will get this benefit from the word go.

Cell C prepaid customers that want to migrate to the UltraBonus tariff plan can do so by dialling *108# and selecting UltraBonus as their new tariff plan.

For more information, please go to www.cellc.co.za.

In 2001, Cell C launched its operations, bringing much needed competition to a telecommunications market marked by a duopoly. The company has since then strived to push competitive offerings to the telecommunications market and has continued its efforts to drive down the cost to communicate by launching affordable and innovative products and services to the South African consumer. Cell C currently provides products and services to more than 16 million customers, including prepaid, hybrid and contract solutions on voice, data and messaging platforms. Cell C boasts a nationwide network and has extensively invested in expanding and upgrading its network coverage and capacity. Its network provides coverage to over 98% of the country’s population. Cell C offers 2G, 3G, LTE (4G) and LTE-Advanced services and continuously invests in expanding and upgrading its network to offer customers the latest technologies. The company also has two roaming agreements in place to provide coverage to its customers in outlying and predominantly rural areas.

It’s Mother’s Day every day at Central Square

It’s Mother’s Day every day at Central Square:

Stand a chance to win Central Square vouchers if you take the best selfie with your mom. The competition ends on 20 May.

Mothers play an irreplaceable role in nurturing everyone around them, and the world has dedicated one day when they can put their feet up and be pampered in return. Boutique shopping centre Central Square at Menlyn Maine honoured mothers in South Africa with the word “Mom” represented in all South African languages in the precinct’s “mood tree”.
Central Square celebrated the Mother’s Day weekend from 10 to 13 May, but every day of the year is Mother’s Day at Central Square. Moms are honoured and loved for 365 days in the environs of Pretoria’s vibrant green city. Those who missed out on the weekend’s activities can still honour their moms until 20 May at the selfie stage and enter the “Selfie for Mom” competition.

The weekend was filled with unforgettable experiences as mothers loaded up on some “me time”. A popular stop-off for kids was the craft zone where children could create unique gifts for that special person called Mom. Children had fun expressing themselves and finding meaningful ways of thanking their moms.

The central piazza was pretty in pink with a bandstand playing cool tunes, while musicians created a nostalgic vibe with much-loved classics. The fun and love went on well into the evenings. Alan Hayward crooned his way through a set of vocals Ol’ Blue Eyes would be proud of, while Bogan Pashovski provided smooth keyboards, with Lyndi-Lee Smith and Ayo on vocals, created an ambience to be remembered.

A favourite amongst visitors was the “Video for Mom” booth where people could record a message for their mom to hear. Whole families, sons, husbands, daughters and children recorded heartfelt messages for moms. These can be seen on Facebook searching the hashtag #MaineMothersDay

The perfect weather added to the pleasure on the piazza as families enjoyed a meal at the outdoor eateries that were packed to the brim. Many visitors attended the spellbinding performances of Dynamo at the Sun Arena, also in the Menlyn Maine precinct.

Menlyn Maine is Pretoria’s vibrant green city precinct featuring sculpture parks, outdoor spaces, tree-lined avenues and shopping centre. Central Square is flourishing thanks to its emphasis on creating memorable experiences. With Mother’s Day and other special occasions, Central Square is fast becoming the community’s chosen destination for entertainment, dining, gifts and family gatherings.
