A child of the globe, the bright-eyed young singer has grown up in five countries including Canada, Germany, the UK, the US, and is currently finishing high-school in The Netherlands.

DURBAN × SARDINE RUN

Leave a reply

DIVE INTO DURBAN DURING THE SARDINE RUN

Mother Nature provides a spectacular experience for adventure seekers on land and sea

It’s time to start planning for one of the ocean’s most captivating phenomena. In May – July each year, nature enthusiasts around the world anticipate the annual Sardine Run which takes place off the shores of Durban and the beaches to its south. When conditions are right, millions of silvery sardines make their way up South Africa’s eastern coast chasing cold currents.

Visible even by satellite, the mass migration can form up to nine miles in length and is followed by large numbers of predators that provide the main attraction for divers, snorkelers, and those viewing by boat.Thousands of dolphins are largely responsible for rounding up the sardines into densely packed masses of fish known as bait balls that can be up to 65 feet in diameter. Once a bait ball has been formed, sharks, game fish, birds, and the occasional whale take advantage of the opportunity to get in on the action – which is the most desirable time for divers and snorkelers to experience true underwater theater.

Those with their feet planted firmly on solid ground will not miss out on the excitement, as the feeding frenzy can be viewed from the shore as well. Swarms of Cape gannets and cormorants dive bomb the ocean while other hungry sea creatures breach the surface. As an added bonus, ragged tooth sharks congregate to mate during this period, while humpback whales and southern right whales also migrate during this time of year. Curious spectators can join the crowds on Durban’s beaches to watch commercial fisherman haul sardine-filled nets onto the sand while locals bargain to buy the fish as they are sold by the basket. Anglers also closely monitor the Sardine Run as excellent game fishing takes place during this time from local beaches and rocks. For a birds-eye view, sightseeing airplanes and helicopters are a great way to view the run from above.

BRAAI AND BEYOND: WHAT TO EAT IN DURBAN AND WHERE TO EAT IT

South Africa’s melting pot swirls with a sophisticated and contemporary culinary scene that gives a nod to its cultural heritage

Durban, South Africa, the seaside gem of KwaZulu-Natal Province, is best known for its golden beaches and relaxed surf culture which is about to heat up in the summer months of November through March.

Beyond the waves, Durban’s vibrant culinary scene offers a mix of classic dishes that are a delightful blend of the Zulu, Indian, and European cultures that make up the city’s rich heritage. From flavorful hometown favorites like Bunny Chow, to the regional barbecue known as braai and traditional afternoon tea, visitors can eat like locals with thefollowing culinary experiences that give Durban its unique flavor.

Indulge in braai & Zulu cuisine at Max’s Lifestyle

V1328 Mbe Road, Umlazi

Meat is at the heart of Zulu cuisine, so it is no surprise that South Africans love a good barbecue, known as braai throughout the country. The legendary Max’s Lifestyle in the heart of Umlazi Township is the best place to enjoy a traditional shisa nyama, Zulu for “hot meat,” while listening to local Kwaito music and sipping a cold drink. People from around the world mingle over drinks and traditional food at this hotspot, which also boasts a VIP lounge and Sunday dance parties. The onsite butchery offers a variety of meat prepared braai style and served on a wooden platter in the traditional Zulu way.

Grab pub grub & a craft beer at Robson’s Real Beer

72 Mahatma Gandhi Road, Point Waterfront

Maize starches are another staple of Zulu cuisine and are often used in porridges, or in the liquid form as beer. Robson’s Real Beer brewery and restaurant, located on the reclaimed Point Waterfront, is home to one of the oldest craft beers in South Africa. A family-owned business, Robson’s pioneered bottle conditioned beers, made by a method similar to champagne that produces beer with remarkable complexity and taste. The eatery located inside Robson’s brewery pairs natural, locally inspired beers like the Robson’s Pale Ale and East Coast Ale with sophisticated pub fare, like panko crusted prawns and grilled peri-peri chicken. Robson’s also brews up an immersive experience for visitors by offering beer tasting tours for those wanting an inside look at the craft brewing process.

Catch some rays and fresh eats at a beach shack

Surf Riders Café (17 Erskine Terrace, South Beach)

Afro’s Chicken Shop (2 OR Tambo Parade, South Beach)

After working up an appetite with a stroll along Durban’s popular Golden Mile promenade, visitors can kick back at one of the beach shack-style eateries where the views and food can’t be beat. The laidback beachy vibe at Surf Riders Café captures Durban’s quintessential surf culture, offering burgers, pizza, and more, along with breakfast served in biodegradable cartons for visitors to enjoy at a table or on the beach. Afro’s Chicken Shop offers up simple and affordable chicken takeaway in an iconic bright yellow refurbished shipping container. Known for its chicken and “tjips” (chips), Afro’s Chicken also serves post-surf fare like egg and bacon rolls.

Hop over to CaneCutters for Bunny Chow

53/55 Helen Joseph Road, Glenwood

Durban’s top culinary delight is its signature dish of Bunny Chow, Indian curry housed in a hollowed-out loaf of white bread that serves as a portable bread bowl. Not to worry, no rabbits were harmed in the making of this dish. The name “bunny” originates from an Indian term referring to merchants. Highly recommended by locals and known for its award-winning Bunny Chow, CaneCutters is an authentic Indian restaurant that uses recipes handed down from generation to generation. Visitors can enjoy freshly prepared curries, like their popular “bean bunnies,” traditionally served with crushed chili pickles, carrot sambals (a simple carrot salad), and coriander.

Kick back with a golf legend at Big Easy Winebar & Grill at Hilton Durban

Echoing champion South African golfer Ernie Els’ laidback style, Big Easy Winebar & Grill at Hilton Durban is an unpretentious yet sophisticated spot to enjoy perfectly executed South African cuisine among friends. Dishes like oxtail and marrow fritters; grilled ostrich; and a braai platter for two with lamb chops, boerewors, sirloin steak, and peri peri chicken wings bring a true South African spirit to the table. Diners Club Winelist Awards has recognized the restaurant’s stock of Ernie Els’ signature and other carefully selected wines with its highest accolade, the coveted Diamond status.

Delight in quality steaks & wine at Butcher Block

140 Florida Road, Windermere

2 Ncondo Place, Umhlanga

Butcher Block prides itself on serving the best steaks in the country with locations on Florida Road, Durban’s bustling culinary and entertainment epicenter, and the upscale beach resort area of Umhlanga Rocks. The menu includes meats aged to perfection, like tender fillet stack with herbs and spicy butter, and steak with bacon and biltong, a dried, cured meat that originated in South Africa. Nestled inside of each Butcher Block location is a celebrated wine cellar, featuring some of South Africa’s best-known wines.

Experience the decadent high tea or famous curry buffet at The Oyster Box

2 Lighthouse Road, Umhlanga Rocks, 4319

An ode to its colonial past, the tradition of high tea is still celebrated in Durban. Visitors can step into The Oyster Box hotel’s charming sunlit Palm Court and enjoy the grandeur of the past surrounded by ceramic chandeliers purchased from the Savoy Hotel in London, natural sunlight, and towering palms. This leisurely affair takes place each afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. and features live piano music and lavish baked scones, pastries, quiches, cakes, and finger sandwiches. Visitors will also want to take their time savoring the bold flavors of the renowned curry buffet in the hotel’s Mediterranean-inspired Ocean Terrace Restaurant with stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Foodies seeking to spice up their life can indulge in more than 10 meat, fish, and vegetarian curries accompanied by homemade chutneys and a selection of Naan.

ABOUT DURBAN

Located an hour southeast of Johannesburg by air, Durban is the beachfront gem of KwaZulu-Natal Province (KZN). A bustling harbor city and popular surfing spot, Durban lies on the Indian Ocean and is South Africa’s third largest urban area.

Remnants of British colonialism and a mix of Zulu, Indian, and Afrikaans traditions give the city a rich cultural heritage, while outdoor activities abound on the signature Golden Mile beachfront and in the lush rolling hills that encompass Durban’s suburbs.

1MORE USA, a premiere consumer electronics audio company, is proud to announce their official launch into the North American market. 1MORE USA will provide consumers with premium quality in-ear monitors and over-ear headphones. The premiere headphone maker is debuting five premium audio products in the U.S.- four in-ear monitors and one over-ear headphones-with more products planned. 1MORE China sold 20 million units in just three years, 1MORE USA aims to duplicate their overseas success here in the U.S.

1MORE USA aims to focus on fashionable, high-quality, high value headphones and audio products.

1MORE USA sets out to redefine the relationship between its brand and its innovations by designing and manufacturing all its components from the ground up. For this reason, 1MORE USA can provide high performance sound at extraordinary prices while producing a product that is as much form as it is function. With products like their brand new triple-driver in-ear monitors, 1MORE USA strives to make reference quality audio products that are available to everyone. 1MORE USA products are designed to enrich your music listening experience and your life, so get ready to be passionate about your portable music once again!

“Our goal is to show the customer that 1MORE USA offers technology, fashion, and quality which is something that can be available to everybody,” says 1MORE USA President, Dave Russell. Russell, a consumer technology expert, brings with him an extensive executive and sourcing experience. Russell has served on the board of directors for both Gateway and VIZIO in addition to co-founding Puro Sound Labs. Russell works in combination with Tim Burton, VP of Sales, who also has extensive consumer electronics sales experience working on such accounts as Best buy and Gateway. “1MORE USA brings a breath of fresh air in the way of real value to a commodity product line and industry,” says Burton. 1MORE China, using the same design principals, has sold over 20 million headphone units in just three years. The 1MORE USA team is looking to replicate that achievement here in the U.S. In a world where headphone companies merely purchase off-the-shelf parts and assemble them to hit various price brackets, 1MORE USA instead designs and manufacturers all of its components from the ground up. Starting with the development of the drivers themselves, to the unique design of each headphone through to its production, 1MORE USA is committed to creating the best headphones at affordable prices. To achieve such high standards, 1MORE USA technicians continuously develop new technologies, include musical experts in the design process, and strive to create an end product that exceeds consumer expectations. Enjoying portable music as the artist originally intended is no longer a luxury, but a 1MORE USA standard. All of our products are personally tuned by four-time Grammy Award winning mixing engineer Luca Bignardi and are rigorously tested for quality in our sound labs. 1MORE USA has broken the unspoken rule in the headphone market – that high-quality headphones have to be expensive and affordable headphones have bad designs. 1MORE USA is challenging the status quo by solving the issue of creating high-quality headphones at affordable prices in many ways. 1MORE USA is relentlessly designing and developing core components, coordinating efficiently with our production lines, and always pursuing the best-in-class quality.

In addition, 1MORE USA has pioneered technology for the multi-unit dual driver that includes a balanced armature design and Kevlar coated cables. This coordinated, in-house approach to the 1MORE USA production model results in a more straight to consumer line, which cuts out a lot of companies that might touch and mark up other products. Products currently available in the 1MORE USA line include: 1M301 Single Driver In-Ear Monitor ($29.99), E0323 Multi-Unit Dual Driver In-Ear Monitor ($79.99-Pre-Orders Only), EO301-C Swarovski Crystal In-Ear Monitor Dual Pack ($79.99), the MK801 Over-Ear Headphones ($79.99) and the E1001 Triple Driver ($99.99). The products are available for sale on amazon.com and the 1MORE USA website.

In summation, if you’re a consumer who embraces innovation and technology, headphoneslab.com may be worth visiting.

ABOUT 1MORE USA

1MORE USA USA, established in August of 2014 was the brainchild of President, Dave Russel, and VP, Tim Burton who leveraged their knowledge of the consumer technology industry and overseas sourcing experience to partner with 1MORE USA China. The sole purpose is to bring 1MORE USA’s proven successful approach to consumer audio product design and development to the North American market. “Our goal is to occupy a new space in the world’s audio market by giving our users quality, affordability, style, and community,” says CEO and Co-Founder, Hsieh. 1MORE USA China was co-founded in 2013 by Hsieh, a former Foxconn executive who was instrumental in producing products like the Kindle and iPod. Disillusioned with low-value contract manufacturing, Hsieh wanted to develop a unique brand that would dispel the belief that products made-in-China couldn’t be of both excellent quality and value. From this idea of 1MORE USA was born.
