Guest:  Ian Maclaren

Independent motoring journalist, Ian Maclaren, says he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about the arrival of electric cars on the market in South Africa.

But he changed his mind after a recent road trip for a feature he was writing which saw him drive an all-electric Porsche from Cape Town to George and back.

Ian says the trip proved fascinating, not only because of what a modern electric car is capable of , but also because he discovered that there is actually infrastructure in place to charge an electric vehicle.

Guest: Grant Rock, the founder and director of Art10K, a non-profit art initiative, started in Johannesburg six years ago.

He says it was his frustration with galleries and dealers who generally takes huge cuts on the sale of artworks, that led him to set up a system  of selling art that works more in the favour of the artists themselves.

The initiative's 5th annual event takes place soon and aims to not only make art more affordable and accessible to the public, but also to showcase the work of developing artists that may not have access to galleries.
