The SaxbyTwins, Kyle and Wayde, may look identical, but their journey in the music world is unique. Although their musical talent was always there, they kept it hidden for most of their lives, afraid of how others might react. However, since they shared their skills with the world five years ago, their song Falling For You went viral, gaining hundreds of thousands of streams. Image : Facebook Saxby Twins From Bonfire to Instagram Fame It all started at a bonfire party in 2017 when a passerby heard them sing and said, “That’s so cool, you guys are twins and you both can sing.” That was the push they needed. The next day, they created an Instagram account to share their music. Five years later, they have a verified account with nearly 10,000 followers, and on TikTok, they have over 25,500 fans. Their Falling For You dance trend exploded with more than 4,300 videos on the platform. In December 2021, it even reached number one on Spotify’s Viral Top 50 Chart in South Africa. Balancing Music and Studies Kyle and Wayde live in Stellenbosch with six of their friends, trying to balance their studies and music careers. It’s not always easy, but they say they just go with the flow and trust that things will work out. They remain calm under pressure and see their Universal Music Group contract as a natural step forward. Family, Sports, and Hidden Talents Music has always been part of their lives – their mother is a piano teacher, who introduced them to music at an early age. Their father, on the other hand, is a huge sports fanatic who pushed them into cricket and rugby. In fact, their initial dream was to become professional cricketers, and they even played provincial cricket in Johannesburg. But by the time they turned 19, music had taken over as their top priority. From Sports Stars to Music Icons At school, they were known as the sporty guys, which held them back from publicly embracing their singing talent. They thought people would find it weird if they sang. But once they took the leap, they were happier than ever. Their friend, Hayden Byrne, says they live for music: “Wayde has told me at least 20 times that if he could perform on stage every day, he would.” They love writing down their dreams and sticking them on their walls. Their current goals? One million streams, a nationwide tour, and becoming the biggest pop act in the country. What’s Next? With things moving so fast, Wayde believes there’s no limit to what they can achieve. New singles and secret surprises are in the works, and they plan to do more live performances. On August 8, 2024, they performed live at Impala, sharing their music with an enthusiastic crowd. Stay True to Yourself Their friend Brett Wood says they have a special twin bond and even share the same music inspiration – Ed Sheeran. The SaxbyTwins might never have pursued music if it weren’t for a random compliment at a bonfire party. Today, they live by their own motto: “Do you, be you, and stay true.”And with that philosophy, they’re only moving forward.

Every parent’s worst nightmare is a car accident with their child in the vehicle. The reality is that accidents happen, but using the correct car seat can reduce the risk of fatal injury by up to 71%. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a life-saving fact. In South Africa, where road safety is a growing concern, ensuring your child is properly restrained in an approved car seat is not just a good idea—it’s the law. Image : The Go-To Guy Creations The Law: What You Need to Know The National Road Traffic Act makes it mandatory for children under three years old to be strapped into a car seat. But safety doesn’t stop at three—children between 3 and 14 years old must be secured in a child restraint system or a seatbelt. Additionally, all car seats used in South Africa must meet the SABS 1340 standard, ensuring they comply with safety regulations. Failure to comply can result in penalties, and in the event of a crash, drivers may even face charges such as reckless driving or culpable homicide. Choosing the Right Car Seat Not all car seats are created equal. The correct car seat depends on your child’s age, height, and weight. Here’s a simple breakdown: Image : The Go-To Guy Creations 1. Rear-Facing Car Seats (Birth to 2 Years) • Infants should be placed in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible—ideally until they are 15 months old. • These seats provide the best protection for a baby’s head, neck, and spine in a collision. 2. Forward-Facing Car Seats (2 to 5 Years) • Once a child outgrows their rear-facing seat, they can move to a forward-facing seat with a harness. • The harness helps distribute crash forces across the child’s strongest body parts. 3. Booster Seats (5 to 12 Years) • Booster seats help position the child so that the seatbelt fits properly across their chest and lap. • Children should use booster seats until they reach 1.5m in height or the seatbelt fits them properly. 4. Seatbelt Only (12+ Years) • Children over 12 can use the car’s seatbelt, but only if it fits correctly—meaning the lap belt lays across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt sits across the chest (not the neck). Common Mistakes Parents Make Even with the best intentions, many parents unknowingly make mistakes when installing or using car seats. Here are some of the most common ones: Image : The Go-To Guy Creations 1. Using the Wrong Seat for the Child’s Age or Size • Just because a child seems big enough for a booster doesn’t mean they are. Always check the weight and height limits of the seat. 2. Incorrect Seat Installation • A shocking number of car seats are installed incorrectly. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and have the installation checked by a professional. 3. Using Expired or Second-Hand Car Seats • Car seats have an expiry date (usually 6-10 years). Old car seats may have weakened materials and outdated safety features. • If buying second-hand, ensure it has not been in an accident, as structural integrity could be compromised. 4. Loose Harnesses • The harness should be snug—if you can pinch the strap between your fingers, it’s too loose. 5. Placing a Rear-Facing Seat in the Front Seat • Never place a rear-facing seat in the front unless the passenger airbag is deactivated. Airbags can be deadly to infants. Where Should You Install the Car Seat? The safest place for a child’s car seat is in the back seat, preferably in the middle position. This location offers the most protection in case of a side-impact crash. However, if your car doesn’t have a middle seatbelt or it’s difficult to install the car seat there, the rear passenger seats are the next safest option. How to Ensure Proper Installation • Read the manual – both the car seat and your vehicle’s manual. • Use the correct belt path – don’t assume all seats install the same way. • Check for movement – a properly installed seat shouldn’t move more than 2.5cm in any direction. • Use the top tether – for forward-facing seats, this prevents excessive movement in a crash. Why You Should Never Skip the Car Seat Some parents think short trips don’t require a car seat—“Ek ry net gou om die hoek”—but accidents happen when you least expect them. Even at 40 km/h, an unrestrained child can be thrown with enough force to cause serious injury or death. It’s never worth the risk. Resources for Parents If you’re unsure about your car seat installation or need help choosing the right seat, you can consult child safety organisations like: • Wheel Well – A South African NGO dedicated to child road safety. • Drive More Safely – Offers car seat checks and safety advice. • SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) – Ensures car seats meet safety regulations. Final Thoughts Car seat safety isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a lifesaving necessity. Making sure your child is properly restrained on every trip, no matter how short, could be the difference between life and death in an accident. By using the right car seat, installing it correctly, and following safety guidelines, you’re giving your child the best protection possible. So, buckle up, drive safe, and never compromise on your child’s safety!

Simphiwe Dana, born on 23 January 1980 in Butterworth, Transkei, South Africa, had her childhood rooted in the culturally rich town of Lusikisiki. Growing up in a religious setting, with her father as a preacher, Dana's early exposure to music came through the harmonious blend of choral and gospel music in her church.

Her third studio album, "Kulture Noir", released in 2010, garnered two awards at the 10th Annual Metro FM Music Awards. Dana's performance at the Moncalieri Jazz Festival in Turin in 2018 was a testament to her growing international appeal. Overcoming Challenges and New Beginnings Dana faced challenges with the delayed release of her album "Firebrand" due to her departure from her former label. However, her resilience shone through, and in 2014, she signed with Sony Music, leading to the successful release of "Firebrand" in 2015. The album, featuring singles like "Killjoy" and "Masterpiece," showcased her evolving artistry.

Refiloe Maele Phoolo, known as Cassper Nyovest, was born on 16 December 1990 in Mahikeng, North West, South Africa. The son of Muzuki and Letsebela Phoolo, he was raised alongside his sister Tsholofelo, enduring the tragic loss of their brother Khotso in 2003. Image : Facebook Cassper Nyovest A natural athlete, Nyovest attended Sol Plaatjie Secondary School and excelled in various sports. However, his true passion lay in music, which he began exploring at the age of 12. Despite failing his Grade 10 exams in 2006, Nyovest pursued his musical dreams, dropping out of school and moving to Johannesburg in 2007 to kickstart his career. Early Career and Breakthrough Nyovest's musical journey began in earnest when he formed the group Childhood Gangsta at 13. His next venture, Slow Motion, included producer Aashish Gangaram of Ganja Beatz. After a brief stint with motswako label Impact Sounds, Nyovest went independent, forging his path with determination. He caught the eye of the late rapper Hip Hop Pantsula, featuring on "Wamo Tseba Mtho," which paved the way for his debut single "Gusheshe" in 2013. His establishment of Family Tree Records in 2014 marked a significant milestone, solidifying his status as an artist and entrepreneur. Rise to Fame: Tsholofelo and Refiloe Nyovest's debut album "Tsholofelo" (2014), named after his sister, included hit singles "Gusheshe" and "Doc Shebeleza." The album's success led to a platinum edition with new songs and collaborations, including artists like Casey Veggies and DJ Drama. His concert, Fill Up The Dome (2015), was a landmark event, selling out Johannesburg's Ticketpro Dome. The release of his eponymous album "Refiloe" at this event was a strategic and successful move, earning gold certification on the first day. Continued Success and Expanding Horizons In the following years, Nyovest's musical journey continued with the critically acclaimed "Thuto" (2017) and the Kwaito-focused "Sweet and Short" (2019). His "Fill Up" concert series expanded to various stadiums, showcasing his growing popularity. Nyovest's creative versatility was further evidenced in his 2020 hip-hop track "Good For That" and his fifth studio album "Any Minute Now." In 2021, he delved into Amapiano with "Sweet And Short 2.0," featuring a plethora of talented artists. Recent Ventures: Solomon and African Throne World Tour 2023 marked a new chapter for Nyovest with the announcement of his album "Solomon," released on September 15. Accompanying this was the African Throne World Tour, a collaboration with Nasty C, highlighting Nyovest's influence in African music. The lead single from "Solomon," "018," featuring Maglera Doe Boy, cemented Nyovest's status as a musical force. Television and Business Ventures Nyovest's talents extend beyond music into television and business. He became the host of "The Braai Show with Cass" on SABC 1 in September 2021, showcasing his charismatic personality. His entrepreneurial skills are evident in his ventures, including his sneaker company Root of Fame, liquor brand Billiato, and the successful Family Tree Records. Boxing: A New Arena Nyovest's foray into boxing added another dimension to his versatile career. His matches, "Fame vs Clout" and "Actor vs Musician," showcased his athletic prowess and brought a new audience to his already diverse fan base. Personal Life and Controversies Nyovest's personal life, including his relationship with actress Boity Thulo, has been a subject of public interest. His feud with rival AKA and legal disputes, particularly regarding the "#FillUp" trademark, have also been prominent in his career narrative. Legacy and Influence Cassper Nyovest's journey from a determined youngster in Mahikeng to a multifaceted icon in the South African music scene is a testament to his talent, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit. As a rapper, songwriter, producer, and business mogul, Nyovest continues to shape the musical landscape, inspiring a new generation of artists. His story is one of ambition, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of dreams, making him a true pillar of South African music and culture.

In a world that constantly encourages us to buy the latest trends, update our wardrobes, and spend on expensive beauty treatments, it’s easy to believe that looking good requires spending a fortune. But the truth is, beauty is not about how much you spend; it’s about how you carry yourself, take care of what you already have, and make the most of simple, cost-effective tricks. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Take Care of Your Skin Your skin is your best accessory, and keeping it healthy doesn’t have to be expensive. A simple skincare routine with cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection can do wonders. Natural remedies like honey masks, aloe vera, and coconut oil can nourish your skin without the need for pricey products. Embrace Your Natural Hair Instead of spending money on salon treatments and hair products, learn to work with your natural hair. A good trim at home or a simple DIY hair mask made from kitchen ingredients can keep your hair healthy and shiny. Avoid excessive heat styling and let your natural beauty shine through. Refresh Your Wardrobe Without Buying New Clothes You don’t always need new clothes to look stylish. Try mixing and matching your outfits in new ways, accessorizing creatively, or even upcycling old pieces to give them a fresh look. Sometimes, simply wearing confidence is the best fashion statement. Keep Your Nails Neat and Simple Regular salon visits for manicures and pedicures can add up, but you can keep your nails looking elegant at home. Keep them clean, trimmed, and moisturized, and if you like polish, a simple, classic color applied neatly can look just as good as a professional job. Smile and Carry Yourself with Confidence No amount of makeup, fancy clothes, or styled hair can replace the power of confidence and a genuine smile. When you feel good inside, it naturally reflects on the outside. Looking beautiful doesn’t mean draining your wallet. With a little creativity and self-care, you can embrace a simple, natural beauty that radiates confidence. Remember, true beauty is about feeling good in your own skin and making the most of what you already have! #TheGoToGuy #stroomstories #potchgazette #beautytalk

In Episode 19 of SportStroom, The Go-To Guy introduces viewers to Marizel Meintjes, a passionate young athlete whose journey into racewalking began in an unexpected way. It all started in Grade 5 when Marizel spotted a woman and her son power-walking near a military base. That moment sparked a lifelong fascination. Her father soon introduced her to veteran coach Cobus Groenewald—and from there, her story began to take shape. Finding Her Sport Although she dabbled in various sports including hockey and long-distance running, it was racewalking that truly captivated Marizel. What stood out for her wasn’t just the endurance required, but the intense technical discipline. “Racewalking is not just walking fast,” she explains. “It’s one of the most technical sports in the world.” Unlike speed or endurance walking, racewalking—an Olympic discipline—requires athletes to keep one foot on the ground at all times and follow strict rules around posture and movement. Marizel thrives in this world of precision and control. The Mental Game of the Track Marizel’s favourite events range from 10km to the gruelling 35km and potentially even 50km races. A 10km event on the track means completing 25 laps—an exhausting physical and mental challenge. “You have to be mentally 100% when you step onto that track,” she says. She breaks down each lap in her mind and keeps a sharp eye on her time, always focused on maintaining rhythm and technique. Her coach calculates exact lap targets—down to the second—to help her chase personal bests. Whether she's aiming for a 54-minute finish or pushing through cramps and fatigue, Marizel’s mental toughness carries her forward. Pushing Limits with Purpose Now preparing for a 35km road race in Cape Town, Marizel hopes to beat her previous time and eventually conquer a 50km race—an event typically dominated by men. Her ambitions are clear: to prove that women, too, can excel in the longest events in racewalking. Her dedication runs deep. Training twice a day, sometimes for three hours at a time, Marizel also hits the gym and maintains a simple but careful diet. On race days, she swears by plain yoghurt, oats, and even a small sip of Coca-Cola to avoid stomach pain. Overcoming Setbacks and Standing Tall Marizel doesn’t shy away from discussing the physical challenges she faces. Her unique knee alignment has made her particularly vulnerable to disqualification due to the strict judging of form. After narrowly avoiding disqualification last year, she doubled down on technique training—waking early, training longer, and proving her critics wrong. She’s also had to navigate the stigma often attached to racewalking. “Some athletes laugh at our sport,” she admits, “until we challenge them to try it themselves.” Eyes on the Olympics Despite these challenges, Marizel’s vision remains firmly on the future. She dreams of representing South Africa at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. With a racewalking half-marathon newly added to the programme, her goal feels more attainable than ever. “I want to qualify,” she says simply. “Even if it takes three years—I’ll do it.” A Message of Commitment Above all, Marizel’s journey is one of grit, belief, and relentless effort. Her path isn’t glamorous, but it’s real—and deeply inspiring. She’s proving, one race at a time, that determination can carry you further than doubt ever will.

Jou beste vriendin het pas dié groot vraag gevra: “Sal jy my maid of honor wees?” en nou’s jy opgewonde, senuweeagtig en so effens oorweldig. Dit is alles normaal! Maar moenie stres nie, ek is hier om jou te help om hierdie spesiale rol met styl en selfvertroue aan te pak. Foto : The Go-To Guy Creations Kom ons gesels oor wat dit beteken om die hoof van die bruidsparty te wees, en hoe jy die groot dag (en alles wat voor dit gebeur) kan hanteer sonder om jou hare uit te trek. Jou Grootste Taak: Wees Haar Klankbord As MOH (maid of honor) gaan jy ’n groot rol speel in die bruid se emosionele welstand. Sy gaan na jou toe kom wanneer sy onseker is oor haar rokke, gestres raak oor die venue of net wil kla oor haar toekomstige skoonma. Jou werk? Luister. Dis belangrik om haar emosioneel te ondersteun en ’n bietjie meer entoesiasties oor haar troue te wees as wat jy dalk normaalweg sou wees. Onthou, sy het jou gekies omdat jy alreeds goed is om haar emosioneel te ondersteun – jy hoef nie perfek te wees nie. Beplan en Organiseer: Die MOH To-Do Lys So, wat presies moet jy alles doen? Hier’s die basics: • Beplan ’n bachelorette party en ’n bridal shower. Kry die ander strooimeisies aan boord en sorg dat alles by die bruid se smaak en die begrotings van die party pas. Dink eerder pizza-aand as ’n trip na Mauritius. • Help met rokke soek. Jy moet bereid wees om ure in rokwinkels deur te bring en die waarheid te sê (so sag soos moontlik) oor watter rokke werk en watter nié. • DIY projekte en uitnodigings. As daar dekor gemaak moet word of uitnodigings gestuur moet word, wees bereid om te help. Koop dalk selfs ’n bottel wyn om die aand ligter te maak. • Hou die ander strooimeisies in lyn. Jy gaan moet koördineer en seker maak almal weet wat hulle moet doen, waar hulle moet wees en hoe laat hulle daar moet wees. Die Toespraak: Moenie Paniekerig Raak Nie Een van die MOH se groot take is om ’n toespraak te lewer tydens die onthaal. Dit klink skrikwekkend, maar hou dit eenvoudig. Skryf van die hart af, vertel ’n paar snaakse of hartroerende stories oor jou en die bruid, en moenie vergeet om die bruidegom te noem nie (hy is ook deel van die storie, né). As jy regtig bang is, vra een van die ander strooimeisies om saam met jou te praat. Foto : The Go-To Guy Creations Die Finansiële Kant: Hoeveel Kos Dit? Om ’n MOH te wees, kom met sy kostes. Jy gaan waarskynlik moet betaal vir: • Jou rok (en moontlik skoene en juwele). • Deel van die bachelorette party se koste, soos venue- of aktiwiteitsgelde. • Geskenke vir die bridal shower en troue. Dis slim om ’n begroting te hê en vroegtydig vir die ander strooimeisies te sê wat verwag word. Onthou, as iets regtig buite jou vermoë is, is dit okay om dit te sê. Niemand verwag dat jy jou spaarrekening moet leegmaak vir een dag nie. Jou Eie Lewe: Balans Is Sleutel Dis maklik om jou lewe vir maande om die troue te draai, maar onthou: jy het ook werk, verhoudings en jou eie geestesgesondheid om te versorg. As jy voel die MOH-verantwoordelikhede raak te veel, praat met die bruid. Sy sal dit verstaan – of ten minste, sy moet! Op Die Groot Dag: Wat Van My Verwag Word As die groot dag aanbreek, gaan jy op jou tone moet wees. Hier’s wat jy kan verwag: 1. Help die bruid aantrek. Maak seker haar rok, sluier en juwele reg is, en dat haar hare nie in chaos eindig nie. 2. Hou haar kalm. Bring snacks en water, en help haar om diep asem te haal as die senuwees inskop. 3. Wees haar regterhand. Hou haar blomme tydens die seremonie, sorg dat sy weet waar haar selfoon is, en help haar wanneer sy badkamer toe gaan (ja, jy gaan dalk moet help om haar rok uit die pad te hou). 4. Koördineer. Maak seker die ander strooimeisies weet wat aangaan, en dat die tydsberekening reg is. 5. Dans saam met haar. Jy moet seker maak sy het pret! Jy’s daar om haar aand spesiaal te maak. Moenie Vergeet Om Pret Te Hê Nie Die belangrikste raad? Geniet dit. Hierdie is ’n spesiale tyd in jou vriendin se lewe, en jy kry die voorreg om deel daarvan te wees. Hou dinge lig, moenie te veel druk op jouself sit nie, en onthou dat dit meer oor haar en minder oor perfeksie gaan. Teen die einde van die dag gaan sy jou waardeer vir jou ondersteuning, jou tyd en die herinneringe wat julle saam gemaak het. Nou toe, haal asem en geniet die rit!

Elke nou en dan kan jy sien die manne is weer terug op die perseel in die Elgin Vallei terwyl hulle met glimlagte terugdink aan hul onvergeetlike ervaring.  Foto (Potch Gazette): Elri Bekker en Juan-Louis Naudé Die Potch Gazette het die voorreg gehad om met Juan-Louis Naudé en Elri Bekker te gesels oor hul ervaring op die KykNet televisie reeks, Klein Paradys, en wat hulle van dié reeks saam met hulle sal neem.  Waar dit alles begin het Elri se vrou het die advertensie van Klein Paradys gesien en hom aangemoedig om in te skryf. Die Bekkers volg die televisie reeks, The Block Australia en toe hulle besef dat hiérdie nuwe reeks min of meer dieselfde konsep volg as The Block, het hulle dadelik belang gestel. “My eerste keuse was my vrou, maar ons het twee klein kinders by die huis, so dit sou nie gewerk het nie. So, my tweede eerste keuse was Juan-Louis”, het Elri laggend genoem. Elri en Juan-Louis is al vir ses jaar lank huisvriende en hiérdie is die eerste regruk-projek wat hulle saam aanpak; vorige projekte het hulle saam met hulle vrouens aangepak.  Foto (KykNet): Die pelle verduidelik hulle ontwerp aan die beoordelaars Die besluit om in te skryf vir hierdie kompetisie vorm deel van Elri se werk en dit is ook ‘n passie van hom as argitek. Lank voor die kompetisie, het die pelle van Potch alreeds fisiese werk begin doen en begin bou, so die grondslag was daar. “Ons altwee hou van uitdagings en avonture, so dit is iets heeltemal anders”, het Juan-Louis op sy beurt genoem. Die vriende het ‘n sprong van geloof geneem, ingeskryf en na ‘n streng keuringsproses, is hulle as een van die ses duos gekies om aan die reeks deel te neem.  Die duur van die projek Die hele projek het ‘n maand en ‘n week geneem, insluitend bou en produksie dae. In totaal was daar twee en twintig konstruksie dae waar die duos skouer aan die wiel gesit het en volstoom gewerk het. Hulle was drie dae op die terrein voordat hulle amptelik begin het met produksie. Dit is tydens hierdie drie dae waar hulle gereeld veiligheidsinligtingsessies bygewoon het asook ‘n inleiding tot wat hierdie program en projek presies gaan behels.  Foto (KykNet): Die manne in die werkswinkel Alhoewel elke dag anders gelyk het, was daar min of meer ‘n roetine. Hulle het lekker vroeg opgestaan in die oggend, ‘n skietlys gemaak van alles wat die dag gedoen moet word en dan aan die werk gespring. Ondanks die klein jakkalsies wat kop uitgesteek het, kon hulle ten minste een of twee take elke dag op hul lysie voltooi. Die dae voor elke fase se beoordeling het hierdie manne deurnag - hulle is ook die enigste duo wat hierdie benadering gevolg het. Die dae ná die beoordeling (dag een van die nuwe fase) “was ons eintlik nowhere, ons het nie ge-feature nie”, het Elri genoem. Daardie dae was gebruik om bestellings te plaas en aan die ontwerp van die mikro-eenheid te werk, bloot omdat hulle fisies te uitgeput was na die vorige dag (en nag).  Foto (KykNet): Die slaapkamer wat die beoordelaars uitgeboul het Uitdagings in alle vorme Dit is vanselfsprekend dat só tipe projek uitdagend is, omdat dit nog nie voorheen gedoen is nie, maar die fisiese en logistieke deel was nie noodwendig die moeilikste nie. Juan-Louis noem dat dit emosioneel uitdagend was om weg te wees van hulle gesinne af. Hy moes sy baba dogtertjie agter los en in die tyd wat hy weg was, het sy begin kruip en glimlag. Elri het ook ‘n paar mylpale van sy twee seuntjies misgeloop - die oudste het sy vierde verjaarsdag gevier en die jongste het begin loop tydens sy afwesigheid. Dít was vir beide mans die uitdagendste deel van die hele ervaring - om hulle geliefdes agter te laat vir so lank. Hierdie gesinsgeoriënteerde vriende se prioriteite word selfs deurgetrek na hulle besighede en hulle maak ‘n punt daarvan om tyd te maak vir hulle mense.  Foto (KykNet): Harde, fisiese werk is aan die orde van elke dag “Dit was eers emosioneel uitdagend en toe raak dit fisies moeilik.” Elri lig uit dat dit veral tydens die dek fase was waar die fisiese moegheid regtig ingeskop het. “Ons staan nie terug vir [harde] werk nie, maar jou hande het naderhand nie meer ‘n greep nie en jy gee maar tree vir tree”. Tydens die laaste aand was die krag vir drie ure af en kon hulle niks doen tydens daardie drie ure nie - boonop het dit nog gereën ook!  ‘n Hoogtepunt Die heel eerste dag het hulle besef dat dit nie speletjies gaan wees nie; dit is ernstige sake en dat al die duos een doel voor oë het. Die eerste mini-kompetisie wat hulle gewen het, het vir hulle uitgestaan en het so bietjie woema verskaf. Dit is ook tydens hierdie klein kompetisies regdeur die program dat hulle geleer het om nie hulself, hul boustyl óf vaardighede hoef te vergelyk met enige ander spanne nie. Die laaste dag staan ook vir hulle uit as ‘n hoogtepunt. “Dit was ‘n baie emosionele ding om te besef dit is nou klaar, ons kan nou rus”, het Juan-Louis gesê.  Foto (KykNet): Elri en Juan-Louis wen die slaapkamer fase Wat is persoonlike spasie? Met alreeds beperkte plek binne die eenhede, het elke duo boonop ‘n aangewese kameraman en inhoudskepper gehad wat in en om die eenheid saam met die spanne moes beweeg en afneem, “so jy moes heeltyd in ag neem waar hulle is en wat jy doen.” Hulle het die duos riglyne gegee van hoe om te staan of ‘n taak te doen sodat hulle nie die heeltyd die spanne se rûe afneem nie. “Ons was baie in sync met mekaar”, het Juan-Louis op ‘n kol genoem. Hulle het geweet wat gedoen moes word en het besluit om hulle koppe af te hou en aanhou hard werk. Hulle het vroeg-vroeg gesien dit gaan meer voordelig wees om dubbel-doelig te werk as wat beide aan een taak werk. Juan-Louis glo dat dit een van die faktore is wat bygedra het tot die feit dat hy en Elri minimale konflik en drama gehad het.  Foto (KykNet): Intak is die enigste eenheid wat as 'n familie eenheid ingerig is met dié ekstra bed Die emosies loop hoog Die manne hou nie van konflik nie en die tye wat die emosies wel hoog geloop het, het hulle elkeen ‘n oomblik geneem en net hul afsonderlike take in stilte afgehandel tot hulle “oor dit” is. “Ons het aan die begin mekaar uitsorteer en tussendeur was dit net moegheid en krapperigheid”, het Elri glimlaggend genoem. Hulle het nooit persoonlik geraak of ‘n aanmerking persoonlik opgeneem nie en die feit dat hulle nie familie is, soos die res van die duos, het baie gehelp om die humeurvlakke in toom te hou. Hulle het geweet hoekom hulle daar was en het dáárdie doel voor oë gehou deur die hele proses.  Dis nie vir elke Jan Rap en sy maat nie, maar wel 'n belewenis Só ‘n projek is nie vir almal nie, alhoewel daar baie mense is wat aanklank daarby sal vind. Indien jy as ‘n individu of paartjie wil groei in verskillende fasette, is só ‘n projek of iets soortgelyk iets wat Juan-Louis en Elri sal aanbeveel. Die kreatiewe vryheid is beslis iets wat vir hulle uitgestaan het, omdat dit hulle die geleentheid gegun het om hulle unieke stempel op die eenheid af te druk. Hulle albei stem saam dat hulle sonder twyfel weer ‘n soortgelyke projek sal aanpak, maar “net as ons ons gesinne nader kan hou”, het beide beaam. Foto (KykNet): Gate word gegrou vir die uitspan area se dek Die Duos Die duos se persoonlikhede is almal uiteenlopend en die ouens het baie goed oor die weg gekom met die res van die deelnemers. Elri noem dat daar maar eintlik min tyd was vir sosialiseer, omdat almal so taakgedrewe was. Juan-Louis het dit mooi opgesom toe hy noem dat almal in hulle eie boksies was en elke span het slegs een doel voor oë gehad én gehou - om te wen! Daar was darem kort tydjies tussen-in vir die deelnemers om mekaar te leer ken wanneer hulle in die kombuis saam geëet het of ‘n koppie koffie saam geniet het. Gaan loer gerus na die res van die duos hier. Lesse geleer Die grootste les wat hulle tydens hierdie hele proses geleer het, is die selfvertroue om te weet dat dít wat onmoontlik lyk, wel gedoen kan word. Selfs al het die vervaardigers en konstruksiespanne ná die eerste fase (die badkamer fase) gedink dat hierdie reeks ‘n totale flop gaan wees, het al die duos op die ou end van die dag klaar gekry met hulle mikro-eenhede. Die feit dat ses spanne ses leë ‘doppe’ omskep het in vyfster akkommodasie, is sowaar indrukwekkend en sit nie in elke persoon se broek nie! Juan-Louis en Elri weet nou, na hierdie hele ervaring, waarlik wie hulle is in terme van styl, werk en wat hulle kan bereik - en ook waartoe hulle in staat is. “Dit is die grootste groei.”  Foto (KykNet): Dit is hierdie manne wat die veilig idee geloods het. Hier staan hulle saam met Robbie Kruse, die aanbieder van Klein Paradys Hul lewens na Klein Paradys Elri se maatskappy, A-Line Studio, is veelsydig en in November 2024, voordat die reeks geloods is, het Elri nog ‘n besigheid gestig: een wat spesialiseer in mikro-eenhede. Die maatskappy het ook al ‘n hele paar tente in Tanzanië ontwerp en ontwikkel, die meeste mense sal dit ken as glamping.  Vanaf April 2024 het beide manne aan hulle besighede gebou en die groei daarvan gesien - sonder die blootstelling van Klein Paradys. Juan-Louis het ook voor Klein Paradys baie oorsee gereis met sy werk as kinematograaf en CEO van LIGHT Productions  en hy het ook laat val dat daar ‘n moontlike ontwerp en restoureer docuseries in die pyplyn is, genaamd Kleine Plaas. Loer gerus na hierdie opwindende, nuwe avontuur en wat dit alles behels deur hier te klik. Foto (KykNet): Hard besig met bestellings Daar is geen twyfel dat Klein Paradys ‘n hele paar deure vir die pelle van Potch oopgemaak het en alhoewel hulle alreeds drukbesig is so vroeg in die jaar, is hiérdie ‘n duo wat wéét waar hulle wortels begrawe is - en hulle sal dit nie sommer vergeet nie. Moenie die heel laaste episode van Klein Paradys hierdie Donderdag, 30 Januarie 2025 om 20h00 op KykNet, misloop nie. Tydens hierdie episode sal die wen-duo aangekondig word.
