Si Cantina Sociale: A must-visit for food lovers
If you're looking to escape the winter blues and immerse yourself in an atmosphere as captivating as the cuisine, then pull up a chair; Si Cantina is calling. Image: Sarene Kloren If you're looking to escape the winter blues and immerse yourself in an atmosphere as captivating as the cuisine, then pull up a chair; Si Cantina Sociale in the Silo District of the V&A Waterfront is calling. From the moment I stepped inside, the transition from the cold, crisp air to the restaurant's embrace was immediate and delightful. While Si Cantina boasts outdoor seating that's perfect for warmer days, allowing for a European al fresco dining feel with views of the Silo District, it's their indoor sanctuary that truly shines when the weather turns cold. The interior is a masterclass in rustic chic, with a sophisticated dark palette punctuated by strategic splashes of vibrant colour. Living wall murals add an organic touch, contributing to a palpable energy that buzzes through the space, making it feel both intimate and alive. The interior is a masterclass in rustic chic. Image: Sarene Kloren The attention to detail here is truly exceptional, extending beyond the decor to the impeccable service. The staff are the epitome of professionalism – attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. My experience was seamless, testament to a team that clearly takes pride in their craft. The tapas menu at Si Cantina Sociale is, in my opinion, a stroke of genius. It perfectly marries the casual joy of shared plates with the refined execution of formal dining. It allows for exploration, for tasting a myriad of flavours without committing to just one main course. I began with the Grilled Halloumi, a unique and highly recommended combination served on crisp lettuce, topped with piquante peppers and perfectly sliced avocado, all dressed with a creamy yoghurt, herb, and olive relish. The interplay of textures and the fresh, zesty dressing made it an instant favourite. The Fish Goujons, encased in a light tempura batter and flash-fried to golden perfection, were also a standout - delicate, flaky, and utterly moreish. And for those who appreciate a unique bite, their Fried Pickles with creamy dill mayo and the crisp Zucchini Fries, showcasing the breadth of their tapas offering are a must try. Moving onto the mains, the selection caters beautifully to diverse palates. For the ardent carnivore, the Lamb Chops are an absolute delight. These 400g loin chops, flame-grilled and finished with a fragrant infusion of lemon, garlic, rosemary, and white wine, were tender, succulent, and bursting with flavour. Seafood fans, will be captivated by the Grilled Kingklip. Served on a bed of fresh rocket, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, the fish is infused with a vibrant blend of mint, basil, coriander, garlic, chilli, lemon juice, and olive oil. Every bite was a burst of freshness. I also noted their impressive wood-fired pizza oven, producing artisanal flatbreads, with the mushroom and onion variety coming highly recommended – a perfect, comforting option for any time of day. Should you find yourself too content to manage a full dessert, a classic Dom Pedro with a generous whiskey infusion offers the perfect, indulgent finale to the meal. To complement your meal, Si Cantina also boasts an extensive cocktail menu and a curated list of South African wines, ensuring there's a perfect pairing for every dish and mood. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days a week, it truly embodies its name – a "cantina sociale," a social hub.

Lifetime Achiever Award
Veteran filmmaker Angus Gibson stands proudly at the Umhlanga pier, holding his Lifetime Achiever Award received at the prestigious Simon Sabela Awards ceremony — a tribute to his enduring impact on South African storytelling and cinema. KwaZulu-Natal-born filmmaker Angus Gibson, one of South Africa's most influential and enduring cinematic voices, was honoured with the Simon 'Mabhunu' Sabela Lifetime Achiever Award, capping off a decades-long career that has helped shape the nation's visual storytelling landscape. Gibson was presented the award at a glittering event yesterday evening at Durban's International Convention Centre. Presented by the KZN Tourism and Film Authority, the awards are KwaZulu-Natal's premier celebration of excellence in film and television. Now in their 11th year, the awards recognise outstanding contributions across more than 20 categories, including best feature film, best director, best actor/actress, best documentary and best student film - all with a focus on KwaZulu-Natal talent and productions filmed in the province. Gibson has been the director behind Yizo Yizo, Mandela, Isibaya, and Shaka iLembe. He was honoured not just for his artistic achievements, but for his contribution to the cultural and historical record of South Africa. 'I first lived in a house with a sea view that stretched from the Bluff to Umhlanga. What I did not see was KwaMashu not far behind my Durban North house, or the traditional Zulu world beyond those canefields. I became curious about the spaces I did not see and in a way I have ended up telling the stories of the spaces that were shut out from my view as a young person.' 'The cane cutters on the weekend would beat their drums virtually the whole night… the sound was enigmatic and made me curious about the Zulu world and culture,'he recalled. For Gibson, receiving the province's top film honour was not just aprofessional milestone - it was personal. 'For the last 12 years, with both Isibaya and Shaka iLembe, we have been immersed in a Zulu world, so it is from the KZN audience that we most want approval. This award is an affirmation that makes me very happy.'

A little redbird of happiness
A red-breasted robin enters through an open window, fluttering through the house like a messenger from another world. Early morning, summery European sunshine, and I'm awake. It's good to be reminded we have summer in Ireland, because in mid-winter it's easy to forget that sometimes I do sleep with just a sheet on here, sometimes I do wear short sleeves. I tiptoe into the hallway where I hear a strange fluttering: a red-breasted robin is sitting atop a picture frame, looking at me as if I'm the interloper. Irish folklore would have it that a visiting robin is a guest from beyond the grave, but conversely, it also says that when a robin comes into your house, it signifies the death of a loved one. Me I'm just glad he's visiting. 'Hello,' I whisper, noting the ajar window on the landing, clearly his entry point. I open the window all the way and go into the bathroom, but when I come out, he's still there, now perched on the light fitting. He flits to the bannister and then continues upstairs. I follow him slowly to the attic, where I open a skylight and sit on a step, waiting. He considers this, considers me, and flies onto the rim. A few beats later, he's gone. The encounter makes me immensely happy. ALSO READ: SA's youth unemployment crisis can become an opportunity Book dreams Such happiness is a welcome feeling right now. Mostly, I've been feeling like I'm in a holding pattern, waiting to hear feedback on a book project I'm passionate about, waiting to hear if I have been accepted into university to complete the final year of my BA, but I'm fast losing hope. I've had no meaningful or indeed lucrative work for ages. I've put all my blue robin eggs into these two baskets – a BA or a book contract – but both seem to be falling apart. Uplifted by my bird visitor, I trot downstairs to let the dogs out. It's a mild, quiet morning, already shimmering with potential heat, and giant furry bumble bees are buzzing in the lavender. I go to rescue one that's attracted doggy interest. After a little investigation, I discovered these sweet, docile creatures are nesting in a hole under my red maple. Their populations are in decline, and so I'm doubly delighted by this second visit from nature. I feel chosen; I feel like a Disney princess. There is hope. And then the dog chomps down on my rescued bee. NOW READ: Woke Barbie gets real: Diversity, disease and a doll for our times
