          A Spa is Born
Asher Spa and Hair Salon is due to open its doors in the
  coming months. Here’s what you can look forward to…

   A quality product and service takes time to create. The opening of the doors of
   the long-anticipated spa, wellness and hair salon offering at the Clubhouse is
   no different. Residents and dynamic mother and daughter duo, Tracy Pereira
   and Kym Quincey, are the brains behind this new venture.
   The strengths that are combined with this duo is Tracy’s strong business acumen
   and Kym’s passion for health,wellness and beauty. That and the knowledge of
   what they themselves feel should be “a true spa experience”.

                                                                         continued on page 12

                       Spa:    On average I aim to have my hair done at least once a month, two to
                               three mani's and depending on my commitments, between one and
                               three massages.
                               The beauty tip I live by came from my mother, who advised me to
                               always take your makeup off at night and cleanse and nourish your
                               skin.
                               When it comes to beauty and wellness products, I look for the ability
                               to see change and improvement in my skin.
                               In my spa experience I look for ambience, professionalism and
                               serenity.
                               The best spa experience I have ever had was in Singapore.
                               My pet peeve, when it comes to a spa experience, is therapists not
                               being on time for a booked treatment.

                               The Spa:
                               Asher means happy and blessed, the state we want our clients to
                               feel.
                               The inspiration behind the design and layout of the spa and hair
                               salon is a mix of all the spa's I have visited throughout the world, with
                               the accent on the “wow” factor on entry, coupled with a rejuvenating
                               pleasurable experience and not just a treatment. We trust this will
Tracy                          add value adding value to our Estate lifestyle that will be the pride of
                               our Residents and the HOA.
                               We want to achieve an upmarket, professional experience for clients
                               that provides them with a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We
                               are aiming to have a one-stop shop for Residents.
                               When it comes to staff and therapists client service, character, the
                               ability to work as a team, and personal cleanliness and presentation
                               ticks the boxes for us.
                               When we chose our products for the spa we looked at variety, efficacy,
                               price and what is trending.
                               When we looked at the services we want to offer our first priority was
                               to create a client-centric product. Ultimately the experience, from
                               the moment you walk through the door until you walk out again,
                               needs to tick all your boxes when it comes to the ambience, treatment
                               experience and professional staff.
                               Our end goal to keep our clients happy and blessed and to improve
                               our service offerings over time according to their needs.

                                                                                 continued on page 14

      My favourite spa treatment is a massage or sauna.
      My favourite aesthetic treatments are peels.
      For me a spa experience means a time to relax, rejuvenate and
      replenish oneself. I feel you should walk out feeling more at peace and
      revived.
      On average I like to have my nails done twice a month, my hair every
      six to eight weeks and a deep cleanse facial every four to six weeks.
      Aesthetics I do as and when needed. A massage is a real treat when
      there is available time however, I would love to have this on a more
      regular basis.
      In my spa experience I look for a period of time to completely reset
      and feel spoilt and treated.
      The beauty tip I live by is to invest time and effort into your health ,
      wellness and beauty.
      When it comes to beauty and wellness products, I look for something
      that is results driven.
      The best spa experience I ever had was in Mauritius. The therapist had
Kym   the most magical massage hands and the surroundings were peaceful
      and serene.
      My pet peeve when it comes to a spa has to be loud background
      noises and therapists who do not put in 100% - you can feel it.

      The Spa:
      The name Asher represents so much for us, including bringing
      happiness or blessings to those who enter our doors.
      The inspiration behind the design was to create an inviting space with
      a calming ambiance.
      We want to provide our fellow Residents with a place they can come
      to for a spoil or a special treat. We want Residents to have all their
      beauty, wellness and aesthetic needs in one place, close to home
      and at a time convenient to them.
      When it comes to staff and therapists, we want people who are well
      presented with an inviting and friendly personality. Ultimately, we are
      looking for staff who are service driven and are willing to go above
      and beyond to ensure our clients feel that they are being taken care
      of.
      When we chose our products for the spa we looked at products that
      fit various needs, such as budget as well as preferences between
      cosmetic skincare ranges and aesthetic skincare ranges.
      We wish to offer our clients the choice of having a relaxing treatment,
      as well as offering an aesthetic and health improvement through the
      addition of our wellness treatments.

...It is vital that
    you take time             5 Good reasons why you should have spa
   out from your              treatments this winter:
   busy schedule              1. To relax and regenerate. Relaxation means something different.
                                 For some it may be a facial or a massage, while for others it
       to recharge               may be a manicure or pedicure. The soothing ambience and
                                 wide variety of treatment options means there is something for
     your self ...               everyone.
                              2. Refresh your body and mind. It is of particular importance to
                                 look after your skin during the winter months, as the cold dry
                                 air can dehydrate your skin, leaving you looking and feeling
                                 older. Spa and aesthetic treatments can counteract this,
                                 leaving your skin looking refreshed and younger than before.
                              3. Detoxify. Massage has a number of detox benefits including
                                 helping to improve your energy levels, mood, circulation, skin
                                 quality and helps to boost your immune system.
                              4. Destress. A good spa experience, not only physically releases
                                 stress from your body, it also helps your mind. Massage helps
                                 to reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol from your
                                 system and it helps reduce your blood pressure.
                              5. Me-Time. It is vital that you take time out from your busy
                                 schedule to recharge your self. Your body and mind are
                                 connected and to function at an optimal level, they need to
                                 be in sync.

    The real cost of car theft
                            It pays to mitigate your risk
While insurance is an essential aspect of recovering financially from vehicle theft, there are still unexpected
costs you may not have planned for, and some which you cannot attach a monetary value to. According
to Aon South Africa, insurance brokerage and risk advisors, the best advice is to mitigate your risk as far as
possible with correctly scoped insurance and advice, deploying security measures to deter would-be criminals,
strictly adhere to road safety rules and drive defensively.

Fast Fact:
The African Spoonbill is protected by the United Nations under the African-Eurasian Waterbird agreement.
This agreement is an independent treaty between African and European Nations, developed under the
United Nation’s Environment Programme’s Convention on Migratory Species, which focuses on waterbird
species that depend on wetlands and cross-national borders as part of their migratory patterns. The
scope of this programme extends from the Arctic to South Africa and covers everything from the Middle
East to Canadian archipelagos, as well as Africa and Europe.

For a New Future
Resident Liezil Esplin is one of 44 runners who will
be running from Johannesburg to Cape Town in October
to raise funds for the MAD Leadership Foundation
which aims to develop academically talented scholars into
future leaders

In October, Liezil, along with 43 others, will don her running shoes and compete in a grueling
24-hour relay from Johannesburg to Cape Town. Not for fitness, or to achieve a personal fitness
goal, but rather to raise money to help educate a worthy scholar through high school and
tertiary education as part of the MAD Leadership Foundation. This Mad2Run team of 2021 aims
to raise a minimum of R2 million to enable two underprivileged gifted scholars the opportunity
to have their high school and up to a three-year university degree covered. The R1 million each
covers all their expenses, including accommodation, transport, uniforms, stationery, nutrition
and mentorship.
Liezil’s friend Linda told her about the Mad2Run initiative after a friend of a friend, Mel,
participated in the 2020 event. “Linda gave me a call in December 2020 saying that I am the
only crazy friend she knows that will say yes, so I said ‘yes’, not really knowing as yet what I had
committed to. She told me about Mel who did the event and how fabulous and life-changing
the experience was.”
                                          Linda, herself, is no stranger to fitness, having completed
                                          Iron Man in 2008 and Comrades in 2010. “I’ve always
                                          loved running and to run for a cause like Mad2Run
                                          allows me to do what I love and make a difference.” Liezil
                                          adds that Linda encouraged her to do a run in Eagle
                                          Canyon back in 2009. “I nearly died. Instead of doing a
                                          quick 3kms, we ended up running 6km.” However, what
                                          initially started as a friend request soon became a habit
                                          that Liezil enjoyed. Her longest run to date has been this
                                          year in preparation for the October event as for training
                                          the team is expected to run a minimum of 20kms every
                                          day for seven days.
                                          The motivation to participate is simple – both women
                                          love a good challenge. “We are looking forward to run
                                          through our beautiful country and explore new roads we
                                          have yet to see,” says Liezel. “We have been told that the
                                          night sky in Sutherland is magical and we are extremely
                                          excited to view this.” But more importantly, is the cause.

24-hour relay is sectioned into eight hour, 80kms shifts, with 20 shifts in total over the week.
Each shift is made up of six runners, completing around 20kms during each shift at an average
pace of 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Since the first Mad2Run back in 2014, close on R5,5million
has been raised.
To train for this event, Liezil enlisted the services of Travis Michelson, Biokineticist and owner of
Eagle Canyon Gym and Wellness Centre, who has put her on a training programme to ensure
that she is fit, strong and able to achieve the goals set. “The running programme has increased
my fitness tremendously and it is amazing how much better I am running.” Liezil adds that her
personal trainer, Indiah, has ensured that she is strong for what lies ahead through strength and
HITT training.
But this event is more than just being physically strong, it’s about being mentally strong as well.
“Shane is our netball team and life coach. He sends us the most inspirational and motivational
messages weekly. These messages help me with my mental preparation,” shares Liezil.

She adds that another form of mental preparation,
is to run on the treadmill. “it is the most mundane
training but if anyone can run on a treadmill for an
hour, then you most certainly can run half a marathon
– or for that matter – all the way to Cape Town.”
No matter how tough the training gets, Liezil says
that what keeps her motivated is the students whose
lives she is changing. “It is overwhelming to see and
experience what people will do to make a difference
in someone else’s life. No matter how big or small
the gesture the impact is enormous. I am proud to be
able to have my legs to work to make a difference.”
In preparation Liezil and Linda participated in their
first MiniMad in May. The weekend event gave them
insight into how Mad2Run will work in October. “We
quickly realised that running is hard but nothing can
prepare you for the long shifts and sleep deprivation.
Sleep will most certainly be the most challenging part
of this journey,” Liezil shares.
As part of the MiniMad each participant was given
a letter from a scholar whose life has been changed
by the Mad Foundation – a personal glimpse into
how lives are changed, and futures are created.
A motivation that keeps Liezil and Linda going no

matter how tough the training gets. As Liezil shares, this past year of Covid has changed her
outlook on life. “My biggest lesson learnt is to not postpone things but do what you enjoy today
as tomorrow is not a guarantee.”
Liezil adds that when this opportunity arose she immediately grabbed it. “My goal personally
is to push myself to my limits and run as many kilometers as I can in October. I want to raise
as much money as possible so that we can enable enough scholars to fulfill their academic
dreams,” says Liezil. Ultimately, these future leaders will return to become ambassadors for the
foundation and mentors for new scholars on the programme – what a legacy.”

What is MAD?
Making A Difference Leadership Foundation was created by Francios Pienaar and a group of
like-minded people who saw the potential in taking academically talented scholars and give
them the educational opportunities to become professionals, and ultimately, future leaders for
South Africa. The foundation was founded in 2003, with Francios Pienaar as the Founding
Chairman, and 15 business men, who made a personal commitment to the organisation,
were appointed members. The foundation identifies, supports and develops future leaders by
providing a comprehensive, personal and long-term scholarship programme. The programme
not only provides education from Grade 8 to tertiary education, but also offers personal support,
mentorships and leadership development.
By focusing on the individual needs of each scholar, a personal connection is maintained,
providing comprehensive support for the duration of their academic journey. This is achieved
through a multi-disciplinary team, who are skilled in various professions to ensure that any
barriers the scholar is facing is removed in an effective and efficient manner. This way the
scholar is able to focus on achieving their dreams, while the foundation takes care of the rest.

“Our MAD Leadership Foundation scholars not only achieve
academic excellence but they also emerge as good people who
are prepared for the trials of life and who are ready to become
the active citizens that our country needs.”
– Francois Pienaar.

                                    My name is Cassandra Mnisi and I have been
                                    part of MAD Leadership Foundation since 2014
                                    when I was in grade 10.
                                    I have currently completed a BA Honours degree in Strategic
                                    Communications at the University of Johannesburg and as
                                    a student I have come to an understanding that one should
                                    never stop learning.
                                    As an ambitious entrepreneur, I have started a business (side
                                    hustle) called Epicassa Beauty. In this business I sell wigs,
                                    hair bundles and hair products on social media (Instagram
                                    and Facebook).

I also recently founded an initiative called Grad-Sphere, which is a platform to help students to
be career prepared and ready after obtaining their qualification. When I started this community
space on LinkedIn, my aim was to support students/graduates to use LinkedIn effectively so they
can attract better career opportunities as well as sparking interest in being intentional about life
after university. The Grad-Sphere page offers free valuable and beneficial content to prepare
graduates and students to reach their next level as valuable professionals or assets to the job
market. At the moment I manage and create and design content for the Grad-Sphere Page on
LinkedIn.
Furthermore, I have just began a graduate programme at Multichoice and cannot wait to learn
more in my first corporate environment.
To be honest, I am in the phase of discovering and exploring more about how I fit into this
dynamic ecosystem of change makers. With that being said, I am passionate about strategic
marketing and communications as I believe in the power that lies in purposeful communication.
The world needs marketing gamechangers that redefine communication especially in changing
and shaping people's mindsets.

                                   Time Trial where I calculated her threshold pace and
                                   threshold heart rate. She had a great starting base
                                   since she has always been active by going to gym and
                                   playing netball, etc. After the Threshold Test I started
                                   developing her training plan and applying the eight
                                   training principles in her workouts. I use an online
                                   training/fitness app to give her the workouts and it
                                   allows me to track her compliance, fatigue levels and
                                   fitness levels. I can then make changes to her workouts
                                   to ensure the correct Overload is applied and she
                                   progresses according to plan.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO START
RUNNING, I created three running
transformation plans during lockdown
to help those who want to get into
running or would like to run better
or faster.
1. Couch to 5km: This plan is suited
   to someone who is new to running
   or has not run in a long time. It is
   aimed at that the person who is not
   unable to run consecutively for 10
   minutes and is designed to work
   you through the basics so by the
   end you can run a 5k with minimal
   to no walking. The sessions
   may     gradually    increase     in
   frequency and difficulty over the          3. Run Fast: This third transformational programme
   12-week programme.                            is for the person who has been running for a few
                                                 months or years and now want to improve their

   recently taken up running and are             run five times a week, can do a 10 or 21km without
   trying to build up their endurance            stopping and want to improve their running time
   to run a 10km with minimal or no              or want to complete a half or full marathon with
   walking. This programme is also               minimal to no walking, or who has a solid base,
   suited to those runners who run a             but requires further improvement in their times
   maximum of three hours per week,              for specific events.

   and difficulty and are faster than
   the beginner’s programme.                      GYM SESSIONS CAN ASSIST IN IMPROVING
                                                  STAMINA, there are plenty of research articles
                                                  that supports the importance of strength training
                                                  for endurance athletes. Having strong hips, legs,
                                                  and core allows your body to be able to improve
