1. Graeme de Wit is a man with big plans. At the end of the year he intends to begin his journey as the 2nd man ever to complete a solo man-powered circumnavigation of the world. In english,he will travel around the world purely by cycling and rowing. The first circumnavigation of this type was completed by Erden Eruç last year. Graeme recently contacted me and I got to pop into his workshop where he is currently building the boat that he will row - with all the preparation required, it’s pretty much a full time job. Graeme pointed out that over 3100 people have summited Everest and 12 men have walked on the moon. With only one successful solo man-powered circumnavigation of the world, Graeme is definitely pushing the limits of human achievement. If you can, get on board and help him out here: http://www.row2africa.co.za/

  2. So here it is… The Gangs of Ballet EPK!

    From Vimeo:

    ‘Gangs of Ballet are a four piece band based in Durban. After launching their EP they have seen 3 of their songs reach the top 10 on the 5fm Top 40 chart, with ‘Hello Sweet World’ making it to no.1.

    I was fortunate enough to tour up to Johannesburg with them to document the trip and find out what makes them so great.
