Revitalisation is on the horizon for 4th Avenue Parkhurst as the Parkhurst Residents and Business Owners Association (PRABOA) teams up with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and CLM, the brand’s local distributor, to upgrade infrastructure in the area for pets and their people. The programme will kickstart an essential fencing replacement project at Verity Park and along the 6th Avenue Parkhurst Bridge. Tito’s Handmade Vodka and CLM showcase their ‘spirit’ of giving by donating the fencing for dogs and their owners to be able to enjoy the suburb more safely. Also, from 1 October 2023 to 31 January 2024, R30 from every bottle of Tito’s sold or consumed in participating businesses in Parkhurst will be donated to regular 4th Avenue clean ups. With a vision to continuously improve the lives of pets and their families, Tito’s is known as the Vodka for Dog People. The Parkhurst initiative intends to support not only Titos’ key stockists (the retailers, bars and restaurants) but also all dog-loving visitors to Parkhurst. “We knew that we had to do something really impactful when launching Tito’s in South Africa to communicate our brand purpose. 4th Avenue Parkhurst was a natural fit,” says John McDonnell, Managing Director, International at Tito’s Handmade Vodka. “Tito’s is known as the ‘Vodka for Dog People’ because of our widespread commitment to supporting animal and pet welfare in communities across the world, and we’re very excited to bring this important effort to South Africa.” “PRABOA is a volunteer-based NGO that works tirelessly to maintain and promote a clean, safe environment and the quality of life of our Parkhurst Village,” says Mike Rosholt, PRABOA Chairman. “This partnership demonstrates how it is possible to build a brand, drive sales and do good all at the same time. We are very grateful to Tito’s and CLM brands for driving this initiative,” he adds. “Tito’s is America’s favourite vodka and arguably the most exciting vodka brand in the world,” says …

Five tips for nutritional shopping on a budget
Eating nutritious meals is important for our health, but with the rising cost of living, most South Africans believe that healthy food comes at a higher price. As we celebrate National Nutrition Week from 09-15 October, Super Sun has partnered with a local dietitian to share some tips for buying nutritional food that doesn’t cost a fortune. “Good nutrition is all about eating a healthy, balanced diet to power your body with fuel and strength. Our bodies use the nutrients that come from the food we eat to keep us alive. That’s why planning to make nutritious meals is so important when we shop for groceries,” says Sibongile Mooko, Marketing Executive at Premier FMCG, brand owner of Super Sun. “Unfortunately, research shows that when health is not often a factor in dietary choices, it can be due to affordability and a lack of knowledge around food groups.1 We would like to change that,” she adds. With a little bit of planning, you can put your family’s health first and cut back on spending. Here are five tips for cost-effective nutritional shopping: 1. Be organised Know which vegetables are available in your garden each season, and make sure to shop for products or food items that complement them. You can save a lot of money and buy healthier foods if you plan your meals for the week ahead. Write a grocery list before going to the shop, and make sure you only buy what is on your list. Adding healthy staples (like fortified maize meal) with longer shelf lives to your trolley means you are buying nutrient-rich products that are affordable too. “Maize-based starch options are affordable and provide healthy sustenance. Look for those that have been fortified, as this means they have the benefits of added nutrients. For example, a fortified maize-based product should be the basic part of all meals. It helps provide the body with the energy required daily to enhance performance and overall good health. Maize meal for lunch or dinner will also keep you fuller …

Five tips to planting your own vegetable garden this spring
With the high cost of living and rising food prices, many South Africans are struggling to put food on their plates.1 September is planting season in South Africa, and the climate and soil in the northern parts of our country, especially Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Tshwane, are perfect for growing crops. Premier FMCG, together with Food & Trees for Africa, are planting more Super Sun school vegetable gardens this year and are sharing their top tips on how to plant your own vegetable garden this spring. “What better way to enjoy the warmer and longer spring days than by planting your very own vegetable garden? You will have lots of fresh vegetables to add to your meals, giving you the nutrients you need for a healthy diet. This is both affordable and worthwhile for the South African family,” says Sibongile Mooko, Marketing Executive at Premier FMCG. “Not only will you be saving money, but there is also something really rewarding about eating fresh food that you’ve grown yourself,” she adds. With good preparation, growing your own veggie patch can be simple. Here are five tips to get you started: 1. Size matters It’s important to plan how much space you need. Ask yourself how many vegetables you would like to grow. A few square meters is usually enough to grow the basics at home. However, if you’re thinking big and want enough to feed your family completely, working together with other members of your community to plant more vegetables together is a great idea. 2. Soil quality Good, fertile soil is rich in nutrients and dark in colour. If your soil is dry, sandy, or very tight, consider buying some topsoil and fertiliser. You could even start your very own compost heap. 3. Location Sunshine is important. Too much or too little, and your veggies won’t grow. It’s important to find the correct balance for what you plant. Or perhaps make two smaller patches, one in the shade and one in the sun. Be sure to plant where your vegetables will be protected …
