There are certain resources we only truly appreciate when they become uncertain. Water is one of them. For generations, South Africans have understood the importance of saving water. We have lived through droughts, restrictions, municipal supply challenges and the familiar scramble to find solutions when supply becomes uncertain. We have installed JoJo tanks, sunk boreholes, collected rainwater and become adept at making every available litre go further. But what else can we do?

Art has the ability to do more than enrich our spaces. At its most powerful, it tells stories, preserves moments and creates meaningful connections between people, places and causes. This October, Hamilton’s Property Portfolio, in collaboration with Candice Berman Gallery, presents the Hamilton’s Charity Art Auction - a curated celebration of contemporary South African art, bringing together collectors, art enthusiasts and community members in support of Sandton SPCA.

There are cars we drive, cars we admire and then there are those rare machines that seem capable of transporting us somewhere entirely different. Perhaps it is the sight of the car your father once drove. The distinctive shape of a sports car you had pinned to a bedroom wall. The unmistakable rumble of an engine from an era before silent starts and digital dashboards.
