Learn the real difference between black and white pepper, how each affects flavour, and which dishes benefit most from choosing the right pepper.

As winter settles in and the cold weather takes its toll, many families are looking for simple and affordable ways to nourish their bodies and stay well through the season. Did you know that one of the best ways to get natural goodness into winter-weary bodies is with eggs? How can that be, you may ask? Well, eggs are one of only a handful of foods that naturally contain Vitamin D, and scientists believe that Vitamin D may play an important role in decreasing the risk of the flu. One large egg (60g) contains about 190 IU (international units) of vitamin D, almost one third of our daily needs. Most of the vitamin D in an egg is found in the yolk, so be sure to include that orb of sunshine. Tossing the yolk could also mean missing out on zinc and selenium, two additional nutrients that are important for supporting our immune system. Coupled with these nutritional benefits is the fact that eggs are surely one of the most versatile foods known to mankind. There are countless ways to add eggs to your winter menu, and if that is not enough, eggs remain one of the most affordable sources of natural, high-quality animal protein available. They pair well with almost every ingredient and can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch or dinner. So, if you are not frying, boiling or scrambling them, be sure to include them in your favourite traditional winter warmer meals.

Chad le Clos is in the closing stages of his career, and his retirement seems imminent, but no matter what else he achieves, he will always be remembered as an icon of South African sport. Comparing athletes in different codes is difficult, but there are some individuals who stand out as legends of their sports: Gary Player, Jacques Kallis, Siya Kolisi, Karla Pretorius, Wayde van Niekerk. Le Clos, however, might be the best of the lot. His career record is absolutely incredible. The 34-year-old swimmer is the most decorated Olympian South Africa has produced, having secured four medals, including one gold and three silver, at the prestigious multi-sport showpiece. He is also a seven-time medallist at the World Aquatics Championships, with a haul that includes four golds, and a 20-time medallist at the World Short-Course Championships, including 12 golds. In addition, while none of them still stand, he has also broken short-course world records four times in his career in the 100m and 200m butterfly events. And while the Commonwealth Games is not a global competition, his performances at the quadrennial spectacle not only showcase his ability but also his longevity. Making history Since making his debut in Delhi in 2010, at the age of 18, Le Clos has become the most decorated male athlete in the history of the Commonwealth showpiece. On Friday night, he earned bronze as part of the SA men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team, claiming his 19th medal and stepping on the podium at a fifth successive edition of the Games. In the process, he surpassed the 18-medal haul achieved by sport shooters Phil Adams (Australia) and Mick Gault (England). Le Clos was still one medal short of Australian swimmer Emma McKeon who held the overall record of 20 Commonwealth medals. With the swimming programme concluding on Wednesday, Le Clos might step on the podium again, but even if he doesn’t, his career should be celebrated. And while other South African sport stars have also achieved remarkable things, we do have to ask: Is he the greatest of them all?

Residents and businesses across parts of Cape Town are being warned to prepare for a series of planned water interruptions as the City carries out essential maintenance, repairs and upgrades to its water supply infrastructure. The work will take place across several areas between Sunday, 26 July and Saturday, 1 August 2026, with some disruptions lasting several hours and others extending for up to 24 hours. The City of Cape Town has urged residents in affected areas to store enough water in advance in clean, sealed containers for essential domestic use. The City stressed that storing water does not necessarily mean every resident will experience an interruption, but it will help households and businesses prepare if their supply is affected. Affected areas around Cape Town Kramat, Macassar Beach and Sandvlei Residents in Kramat, Macassar Beach and Sandvlei will face a water shutdown on Monday, 27 July, from 08:00 to 18:00. The interruption is required to allow maintenance teams to replace a faulty valve on the water supply line. The affected areas will have no water during the planned work. Manenberg A section of Wye Road in Manenberg will be without water on Tuesday, 28 July, from 09:00 to 18:00. The shutdown will allow a contractor to complete a new water connection. Residents on Wye Road between Vygekraal Road and the Wye Road corner will be affected. Newlands Residents along Appian Way in Newlands will experience a temporary water shutdown on Tuesday, 28 July, from 11:00 to 12:00 as preparations are made for a new water connection. A second, longer shutdown is planned for Thursday, 30 July, from 09:00 to 18:00, when the contractor completes the connection. The entire length of Appian Way will be affected. Hout Bay Parts of Martingale Avenue in Hout Bay will have no water on Tuesday, 28 July, from 09:00 to 19:00. The shutdown will allow contractors to safely complete water pipeline relocation work required as part of the Martingale Avenue road upgrade. Elsies River Clarkes Estate and Adriaanse in Elsies River will face another water interruption on Wednesday, 29 July, from 09:00 to 18:00. The shutdown will allow a contractor to make new water connections in Old Stellenbosch Road in Clarkes Estate as part of a housing project. Blackheath Water Treatment Plant A major shutdown is planned at the Blackheath Water Treatment Plant from 06:00 on Tuesday, 28 July, until 06:00 on Wednesday, 29 July. The work is needed to commission a new compressor and urgently replace an isolation valve at the cross-connection between the upper-to-lower reservoir pipeline and the Link pipeline. During the shutdown, there will be no water supply to the Cape Winelands supplied via the upper-to-lower pipeline. Parts of Kuils River and Zevenwacht, which receive water via the Link pipeline, may also experience disruptions. Residents and businesses in the affected areas are advised to store water ahead of time. Fresnaye Parts of Fresnaye will face a water shutdown on Thursday, 30 July, from 09:00 to 17:00. The work will allow a contractor to install a new water connection in Avenue Des Huguenots. The affected roads include: Avenue Des Huguenots, from Avenue De Longueville to High Level Road High Level Road Avenue Le Sueur Avenue Fresnaye Avenue Disandt Avenue De Longueville Protea Avenue Major shutdown across Cape Town One of the biggest planned disruptions will affect areas supplied by the Tygerberg bulk water system. Residents in Century City, Tygerhof, Brooklyn, Koeberg, Ysterplaat, Summer Greens, Milnerton, Kensington, Factreton, Maitland, Goodwood, Athlone, Langa, WP Showgrounds, Pinelands, Thornton, Parow, Ruyterwacht and GrandWest are being warned of a planned interruption from 07:00 on Friday, 31 July, until 17:00 on Saturday, 1 August. The shutdown will allow the City’s maintenance team to replace an offtake valve on the 1 220mm-diameter bulk water pipeline in Smart Street, Goodwood. Most affected areas are expected to experience low water pressure or no water during the work. Residents who continue to receive water are being asked to use it sparingly to help maintain supply across the network. The City said water tankers will be made available for domestic use where necessary. Water testing will also cause disruptions The City will also conduct zero-pressure tests and conditional assessments in several areas as part of ongoing work to improve water network management. The tests are scheduled as follows: Nomzamo: Tuesday, 28 July, from 09:00 to 16:00 Khayelitsha high-level area: Tuesday, 28 July, from 09:00 to 16:00 Diep River: Thursday, 30 July, from 09:00 to 16:00 The work includes additional investigations, such as checking pressure levels, analysing data, flushing pipelines and confirming the location of valves. During these tests, some residents may experience low pressure, while others may have no water. The City said it is not possible to predict exactly which streets will be affected. The testing forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy, which aims to improve pressure management across the network. According to the City, better water pressure management can help reduce the risk of pipe bursts and water wastage. Residents in all affected areas are encouraged to store sufficient water in clean, sealed containers before the scheduled work begins and to monitor updates from the City in case of changes to the maintenance schedule.
