Winter offers a season of intimacy and reflection. It is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth and for long talks beside the fire. In our third issue of The Edge, we bring you a special winter edition packed with the latest on what’s new, as well as a whole range of winter lifestyle info.

Our Getaway column features some stunning winter getaway spots for the avid traveller and you stand a chance of winning a two-night getaway to Mabula Lodge for two worth R13,000. See our getaways section in the Lifestyle section for details on how to enter.

We have selected a list of top 10 winter reads and an events calendar that is jam packed with dates to diarise for your family as well as the latest wining and dining hot spots.

The Market Trends and Insights section provides an updated consumer market view, we explore the world of investing and highlight different investment options and sound investment principles to manage your risk.

Our guest columnist, Mark McArdle, offers some advice on winter training and nutrition to keep you going through the winter months and we interview technology guru Arthur Goldstuck to find out what options are available to get connected as SA’s internet population dramatically increases.

In the fast facts section we bring you details on our great new Titanium card and Chip and PIN security tips.
