With drought becoming a harsh reality in South Africa, and particularly in the Western Cape region, water is an extremely valuable and scarce resource. South Africans have implemented various water-saving techniques, from using grey water to flush toilets, to taking two-minute showers and installing rain water harvesting tanks. One area of water usage that is particularly difficult to cut back on, is laundry. Regular washing machines can use up to 50 litres of valuable municipal drinking water per cycle. That said, refraining from washing our clothes is not an option! Green Planet Laundry has developed an innovative solution to the problem. Unlike other Commercial Laundries, the Cape Town based Green Planet Laundry does not tap into the city’s precious municipal water supply. Instead, they make use of purified borehole water. That means that absolutely no tap water is used! How does it work? The Water used at Green Planet Laundry is 100% ground water (borehole). Additionally, 50% of...

Second Wife: Timeless . Instagram editorial. Photographer: @xolilef.

I recently went in-front of the camera for a photo-shoot with ODD_FVCTORY run by Blvck Envy IV . The concept is to capture all "ODD" beings around Cape Town in the creative society. Coming from Johannesburg, he is much of a creative himself as he is not only a photographer, but a fashion designer who will be launching his label soon. When I went into this shoot, I was very much sceptical as I do not like being infront of the camera unless I am timing myself for my instagram editorials. We met at a local bar as I felt I had to have a drink before shooting ( something that people don't know about me is that I am very shy when meeting new people ) and I actually did not need it as the only instruction he gave me while shooting was to be myself and do anything that I want. Honestly, this experience excited me and I might say opened me up as I have just signed with one of South Africa's best model and character agency, My Friend Nerd and soon will be doing alot of bein...
