It started in a school hostel with a borrowed comb. Darelle Gardner was still young, but already the go-to for anyone needing a quick braid or tidy-up before class. “I used to do everyone’s hair before school,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to be in this industry.”

Santis Bar and Grill has been part of Sunninghill longer than most of its residents. Tucked into The Square Shopping Centre, it is a place where regulars still sit at the same tables they did twenty years ago, where the menu has a dish for every day of the year, and where the owner, Joe Meldau, still remembers who first ordered what.
