Concrete and developement



Ever dreamed of finding those perfect Property developers in Cape Town? I know what you mean because I was stumped on whether or not to buy some property for sale. But do we buy or do we just find some decent commercial property developers to make a home or office block for you. 

But to develop properties you need some real equipment that can help you get your projects on the go with ease. Concrete crushing equipment will help get that old foundation sorted out before the new one. Maybe you need mobile jaw crushers to get things done faster.

Christmas Vacation Plans



December usually means holidays and for those who plan on taking a tour should head to the garden route and stay at one of the many Cape Town Lodges. I promise you will not be disappointed. Once in Cape Town organize a few tours to the garden Route.

For those not interested in the lovely Garden Route why not enjoy a few nights stay in some awesome drakensburg lodges and from there head on over to the kruger national park game lodge and experience some of the wildlife that makes Africa.

Jobs and homes



Ever dreamed of buying your family home? I have a suggestion look at Tamboerskloof real estate as there are some really amazing properties for sale there. I myself aim to buy at least one Tamboerskloof property one day. Obviously there are others to choose from.

In order to buy that perfect home one needs to find that dream job that just makes it all the more worthy. Have you ever looked at Logistics Jobs in Cape Town for example? Seems to be a few going at the moment. Obviously you may have a spouse with a really great job and you just want to talk to people so why not have a look for a call centre jobs in Cape Town

I love traveling our beautiful country! I mean South Africa has some really amazing places to visit like the Kruger National Park. The lowveld is an amazing there and really peaceful. Who wouldn't want to get lost there?

It is probably one of the Greatest Sunsets that I have seen in a long time. This photo was taken in Knysna which plays host to the nuzzi castles and some stunning coastal life as well.

International Industry Report Ranks Amarula a Brand Champion


The International Bartender's Association, has named Amarula a key contender in its new spirits survey," Reigning Supreme: Brand Champions 2012 " released this month (June).
Amarula is one of eight liqueur brand champions identified worldwide and is hailed for its exceptional performance last year, delivering double digit sales volume growth. The magazine praised Amarula for closing “the year in strong fashion, enjoying double-digit growth thanks to a particularly robust performance in Latin American markets and the brand’s launch into Mexico.”
Similarly, Euromonitor has listed Amarula as one of the world’s fastest-growing global brands across all spirits categories, based on its 2011 performance, with the brand featured in ”The Millionaires’ Club”, produced by ”Drinks International” that covers the world’s million-case spirits brands.
Since then, according to senior global marketing spokesperson Siobhan Thompson, growth has accelerated with buoyant sales in Africa, Europe, the Americas and in the duty-free channel. This is despite the fact that unlike its competitors, it produces just one flavour.
“The marula flavour is so exotic and so closely bound up with the mystery of Africa that it remains a very compelling offering and we keep supporters loyal by focusing on the versatility of the brand as an indulgent drink for any occasion, to be enjoyed on its own or in an exciting range of cocktails and coffees.
“Even in South Africa, our longest-standing and most established market, the brand is delivering excellent growth. This is despite the state of the economy and the advent of several me-too options available to consumers. Germany, another of our more mature markets, also continues to reflect very sound growth off a strong base.”
She said even the Eurozone crisis had not dampened enthusiasm for the brand on the Continent, while UK was another market doing surprisingly well.
“At the same time, we are seeing very promising results from developing markets such as Nigeria and Angola, as well as Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.”
She said that the uniqueness of the taste and Amarula’s strong African positioning held widespread appeal for consumers. “Elephants love the marula fruit and are a focal feature of our communications, which makes us very distinctive. We are also actively involved in elephant conservation, giving rise to many narrative and promotional possibilities. Recently we launched a novel, conservation-themed competition for consumers internationally in which winners were given a rare opportunity to participate in collaring an African elephant in the wild.”
Last year Amarula was voted one of the world’s top bar brands in an international industry poll undertaken by” Drinks International”.  In the survey involving 700 bartenders, bar owners and mixologists across 60 countries, Amarula was listed as a Top Ten Hot Liqueur brand, taking sixth position.  Respondents were drawn from the most popular bars in major world cities and were asked to identify the hottest brands on the lips of their patrons.

The Produce of an African Original Harvest

At the height of the African summer, parts of sub-Saharan Africa, like Phalaborwa in Limpopo, are filled with the exotic and very alluring fragrance of ripening marula fruits, golden yellow and sweet with a juicy tang and a hint of nuttiness.
The succulent fruit is a critical ingredient in Amarula and gives it its unique taste. When ripened by the sun, it becomes plump with flavour and falls to the ground, gathered by local rural communities and taken to a series of collection points in and around Phalaborwa and delivered to Amarula’s production centre in the area.
Harvesters are paid for every kilogram they deliver to make Amarula, and the proceeds of their picking have become a valued source of income for their families. Harvesting of the fruit takes place from January to March every year. It is only the female trees that bear the delicious yellow-skinned fruits, yielding anything from 500 kilograms to 2 tons of fruit each. That’s enough not only to feed the elephants but also to make Amarula.
After individually checking each fruit for ripeness and superior overall quality, the marulas are crushed with their skins. The fruit pulp is cooled and maintained at a low temperature before undergoing a double distillation process. It is then aged in wood for two years. The final blend is completed with fresh dairy cream.
Visitors to the Amarula Lapa nearby can experience the deliciously creamy and luxurious taste of Amarula and learn more about how it’s made. They can also discover the importance of marula trees to the people who live in the area.
Amarula was awarded gold at the 2012 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC).
