The prestigious Veuve Clicquot Masters Polo Cape Town will return to Val de Vie Estate on 2 March 2019. Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Paarl-Franschhoek mountains, this stylish sporting and social event marks the peak of the South African polo season.
The ninth annual event, a highlight on the Western Cape calendar, will focus on the sport that has shown a sharp rise in popularity and skill in Africa over the past few years. It is expected that more than 3000 prestigious guests, many from neighbouring countries and provinces, will pay homage to the high-speed, high-skill game of polo while sipping Veuve Clicquot and celebrating summer. What’s new at the 2019 event is the extension of the VIP area where guests will enjoy the luxury offering of Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label as signature drink, canape service, gourmet grazing tables, entertainment, VIP parking and of course riveting 15-goal polo match.

While men argue that women lose respect and become arrogant when they earn more, women believe that such issues would not exist if men were doing their part and being providers? But what does this mean for the economics of a relationship? Are men uncomfortable with women having more money than them? Does this make the man jealous? Is a man capable of being jealous of his woman? Who should be more successful than the other?

The Web was ultimately designed to cater for everyone, everywhere and on any device, using any language and regardless of their ability. This means the Web must remove all barriers to communication and interaction that many physically impaired people face.

Web accessibility is the practice of removing barriers for people with disabilities on the web. Most commonly it refers to those who have temporary or permanent vision issues, people who cannot see the screen and rely on things like screen readers or larger text to access site content.

GUESTS: Nick Durrant - Bluegrass Digital CEO

Hardly two weeks since the conclusion of the Invest In Africa Mining Indaba, we’ve heard of two major mine accidents on the continent (Zimbabwe and Liberia). This begs the question, when discussing investment in mining how much of a factor does the safety of workers play? Are Africa’s minerals a curse to its people and a blessing to investors? Is our government compromising the safety of workers for investments – how severe are the punishments given to mining companies that do not comply with safety standards in Africa?
