Inzolo Lodge at Lalibela Game Reserve is the kind

Inzolo Lodge at Lalibela Game Reserve is the kind of place where your wake-up call is the sound of the bush, your shower has better views than your Instagram, and breakfast comes with a side of lion roars.

Inzolo Lodge is a safari escape that delivers Big 5 thrills with small-lodge intimacy and a touch of eco-conscious flair.

Perched on a quiet hillside with panoramic views over a pristine valley, Inzolo Lodge at Lalibela Game Reserve offers a safari retreat that’s equal parts wild adventure and private sanctuary. Just an hour northeast of Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), this 10’500-hectare reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape delivers seclusion without compromise.

Fourways Mall is proving that a phoenix can indeed

Fourways Mall is proving that a phoenix can indeed rise from the ashes – and in this case, it’s bringing new lights, more stores, and even a plane with it. After years of uncertainty and under-performance, Pieter Lombard, CEO of The Moolman Group spoke to The Sandton Times about how the past 12-months have seen a resounding shift in fortunes for the centre.

At the heart of Fourways Mall, a long-dormant icon is also being brought back to life. Named ‘Lady Naledi’, the airplane that was famously craned into the mall years ago is finally being refurbished and incorporated into a revitalised, vibrant precinct.

Once a dusty relic, the plane is now becoming a symbol of the mall’s rebirth – something for visitors to marvel at, interact with, and remember.

The third annual SpendTrend25 report by Discovery

The third annual SpendTrend25 report by Discovery Bank and Visa shows that South African consumers are becoming more digitally savvy, value-conscious, and convenience-driven in their spending.

While inflation has dropped, overall spending growth has slowed due to stagnant income and rising costs. Consumers in smaller cities are outspending those in major metros, and many are dipping into long-term savings for everyday expenses.

Spending is concentrated on essentials like groceries, fuel, travel, dining, and retail. Dining out and online grocery shopping are growing faster than traditional in-store shopping, with virtual cards and digital wallets gaining popularity for their security and ease of use. Cash use is declining sharply, and most people prefer card or digital payments.

It’s not every day you get to sleep where history was made—or in this case, sip bubbles in the halls of an iconic South African residence – Grace House.

During a recent escape to the Western Cape, The Sandton Times seized the chance to stay at Grace House, the former residence of Graham Beck, the industrialist-turned-winemaker whose name is synonymous with some of South Africa’s finest Cap Classique.

Grace House, once a private family retreat, opened its doors to the public just months ago, offering an exclusive taste of Cape Winelands luxury.
