Ever since she started vocal training at the age of 12 years old, Lillia Lessev had dreams of becoming a recording artist and performing in front of a sellout audience.

 

Four years later, the 16 year old has already achieved that, and her music is now playlisted on South Africa's biggest music stations.

 

She released her debut single, Heartbeat, in 2018 and has subsequently followed that up with other releases, including Hearless which was released earlier this year.

She's followed that up with a new hit entitled Ghosts.

Pippa speaks to Darielle Robertson Franschhoek Wine Valley Festival Organiser.

The Franschhoek Uncorked Festival is taking place this coming weekend between the 6 & 8 November.

Participating wineries in and around the Franschoek valley will use the opportunity to showcase this season’s new release wines, which include MCC’s, white wines, rosés and even a few Summer inspired red varietals. 

Live music and great food add extra excitement to a fun day out, including a unique Chardonnay and sushi pairing, and a tractor ride through the vineyards, to name but a few.

If you’ve still not settled on your plans for the end of the year, today we’d like to tempt you to consider some more local travel, and invite you to visit a destination you’ve probably driven past a dozen times.  I’m talking about the Garden Route Game Lodge, located just off the N2 highway on the approach to Mossel Bay. 

If like me you spend a lot of time in the Garden Route, you probably whizz past the turn-off en route to Knysna or Plett, or maybe even slow down to try and let the kids spot the elephants if they’re lucky.

But today we want to invite you to take a turn through the gate and explore what awaits you on the other side.

Pippa speaks to Anthony Doherty Director of GARDEN ROUTE GAME LODGE.

Pippa speaks to Grant Harris, former advisor to Obama administration.

ON THE COUCH - US election analyst

There’s a real sense of the world watching and waiting and holding its breath today as the first polls will open in the USA in about 2 hrs from now. States including Arizona, Virginia, New York and Missouri will allow the first ballot to be cast from 6am local time, with the rest following with a hour or two.  Most voting stations will be open for 12 hours, but different states have different rules around when the advance votes are tallied, so it is likely to be a more haphazard running count than usual due to the high number of people who have already voted in advance – close to 100 million of them. 

Some did so due to concerns around social distancing in the time of Covid, and others just eager to make sure their voice is heard in the aftermath of a deeply divisive election campaign
