THE SANDTON TIMES HOUR is the go-to weekly digest on greater Sandton including fabulous food spots, luxurious lifestyle bits, first-hand travel tips, motoring notes, and world-class entertainment. In this week’s episode [Edition 95 | Week 49] The Sandton Times covers an array of topical news as well as these interviews:
Karaoke Kong with Owner Ewoudt Cloute
Karaoke Kong is the classic story of two guys who wanted to start their own bar and restaurant. Herman and Ewoudt both have prosperous corporate positions, but their full-time employment with corporations was insufficient.
They hope you appreciate Karaoke Kong as much as they do since it perfectly captures the hilarious and positive nature of this dynamic combo! They designed a karaoke bar filled with a creative and artistic atmosphere. The theme of the 1980s music television and video game era is driven by the fact that the area is centered around music. The design team (led by Kim H. Nieu) made a “wink-wink” reference to this cool historical era.
The interior has been thoughtfully designed, with pockets of delight interspersed throughout to capture energy and give every customer a taste of fun.

Filigrana Authentic Peruvian Treats with Founder & Owner César Alvarado
A Peruvian family founded Filigrana in 2012 to provide the discerning South African market with the most genuine home-made, hand-crafted, artisan, and high-quality Peruvian sweets known as ‘Alfajor’.
The thick creamy deliciousness of Filigrana homemade, slow-cooked dulce de leche is encased in a light airy golden cookie crust made of Filigrana’s famous melt-in-your-mouth Peruvian short bread, which has a delicate crunch (similar to caramel but more milky and less sugary).

Emmy-winning comedian Trevor Noah talks learning German, speaking ill of the dead, judging people in horror movies and ordering Indian food in Scotland.
Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?
The year was 1996, and the cola wars were raging. Pepsi needed something huge to compete with Coke so they rolled out their biggest campaign ever: “Pepsi Stuff” It featured a soon-to-be infamous commercial that claimed for 7,000,000 Pepsi points you could win a Harrier Jet (one of the most advanced military jets of the time). Pepsi execs assumed the astronomical “price” of the military plane was set high enough to indicate it was a joke, but ambitious & cunning college student John Leonard saw it as a challenge.
Enlisting the help (and funding) of mountaineering buddy Todd Hoffman, the 21-year old hashed out a plan to score the grandest prize of all. What ensues is an outrageous goose chase for the infamous Harrier Jet and a legal battle with Pepsi that changed advertising forever.
HAILO with Founder & Director Gareth Katzew
Residents of some of the most opulent residential lifestyle estates in South Africa can access HAILO ‘s premier point-to-point security transfers.

The company was founded as a result of their joint discovery for a need for a premium and secure local market alternative to traditional e-hailing services.
