Dear
Reader,
|
|
I spent a night with a Black Mamba. Not the poisonous
kind, thankfully, but one of the women from the world’s first
all-female anti-poaching unit in South Africa. They look kick-ass
in their army fatigues, patrolling Kruger National Park, sniffing
out signs of poachers. But – critically – they’re
unarmed. This has courted controversy in a country where violence
can be met with violence, but the data reads differently.
Poaching incidents have fallen by 63 percent since they put their
boots on the ground just over 10 years ago. You can read about my
encounter with them – and many other
fabulous women (plus Bridgerton’s Luke Thompson)
– in our delicious new issue,
which is on the stands from Wednesday.

What The Hell Is
Hyrox?
|
|
Fed up with CrossFit, gym junkies are turning
their attention to Hyrox, a terrifying sounding ‘race’ that commences
with a 1km run, followed by a circuit of exercises – such as sled
pushes and sandbag lunges – all repeated eight times. Pass me the
remote.

hotels and there’s always a
type you can recognise at the next table. Which one are you?
