Greenside celebrity shares her life lived in poetry and trees
André Hattingh, once a Parktown North resident and now happily settled in Greenside, has released My Leaves Stay Green, a book of poetry she calls her: 'Biogratree'. It is a deeply personal collection where her love of trees becomes the thread that weaves together her life's story. Read more: Amazing opportunity up for grabs in high school poetry slam Best known as a stage and television actress, singer-songwriter, and dress designer, Hattingh's latest creation pairs her poems with artworks by award-winning artist Bronwen Findlay. The two share a friendship that began at school and has now blossomed into a creative partnership, with Findlay's paintings offering a visual echo of Hattingh's words. Her bond with trees began in Thorn Country, at the foothills of the Drakensberg, where she climbed their branches with her sisters and spoke to them as friends. Now, living in Johannesburg, which she fondly calls the 'City of Trees', her passion has only grown. During the pandemic, she began writing uplifting verses for friends on Facebook, a style her sister dubbed: 'Pop-up Poetree', instant poetry for a busy world. The encouragement she received led to the creation of this book, which is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the soul. She now performs My Leaves Stay Green at venues across the country, blending poetry, music, and storytelling in a forty-minute show. The book is available directly from Hattingh for R350, with nationwide postage for an additional R100. For orders or performance bookings, email her at [email protected].

Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez, is a name that resonates far beyond just being the partner of the famous footballer. She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in the small Spanish town of Jaca.

She has modelled for prestigious brands such as Gucci, Prada, Chanel, and Guess, and walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week. Beyond modelling, she co-founded Bellhatria Real Estate, showing her ambition extends well beyond the spotlight. In August 2025, after eight years together, Cristiano Ronaldo proposed with a stunning oval diamond ring. The ring's value was estimated to exceed 2 million US dollars, roughly R37 million rand. Georgina confirmed the happy news on Instagram with the heartfelt caption, 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' A CAPTIVATING LOVE STORY Georgina Rodríguez's journey is inspiring.
