In 2026, three new SUVs – the iCAUR 03T, Mitsubishi Destinator and LEPAS L4 – arrive on local soil with a shared promise: to take families, explorers and urban adventurers further, more comfortably and with greater confidence than ever before.

Arriving in this small Italian town feels less like stepping into a destination and more like entering a living engine room of excellence. Everything pulses in Ferrari red. This is the birthplace of icons. The cathedral of combustion. The spiritual home of Scuderia Ferrari. But this visit was not only about heritage.

In a world where thousands of images disappear into endless camera rolls, Love on Film was created as a reminder to slow down, be present, and preserve the moments that matter most.
When Ubuntu Film Co sent over their Accidentally Iconic Bundle, the intention wasn’t to review a product — it was to experience a different way of capturing life. What followed was a journey that took the camera from a bleisure trip in Cape Town to the cobbled streets of Italy in Winter, and ultimately shaped Love on Film into something deeply personal and universally relatable – rooted in real moments, real places, and real love.
When Sun City opened in 1979, the world was quite different from the way it is now. Leggy models in ostrich feather plumage were very much part of the glamour of the exciting new hotel and casino, known for sheer extravagance and entertainment.

From business flights to romantic escapes and solo adventures, LIFT strikes an appealing balance between value, comfort, and customer-first policies. It’s not just a way to get from A to B — it’s a travel experience that feels distinctly South African and deliberately refreshing in a crowded domestic market.
