Winter is here but you can warm up with the best drinks for July, cook up a storm with Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen (the first South African chef to receive a Michelin star), or attend the monthly Whisky Wednesday dinners at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
Speaking of Cape Town, now’s also a good time to book your tickets for the spring season with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the second half of the Cape Town Concert Series.

In business news, Tshepo Sedumo is crafting handmade boomboxes inspired by nostalgia with Grove Audio, Jen Gurecki is using small loans to make a big impact on the lives of rural Kenyan women with Zawadisha, and career coach Ben Fanning has practical advice to help you love a job you hate.
Travel news this month takes us on a winter escape to the Tintswalo Atlantic boutique hotel in Hout Bay as well as on a laidback sailing trip with MadagasCaT Charters & Travel.
