I would like to enter the Amazing Valentines Race. I think we deserve to win the first prize because my fiancé and I have come a very long way and we know each other so well, we will make an unbeatable team!!!

We have known each other for roughly 9 years and this year 19th January on my birthday was our second year of engagement. For two years straight we have done nothing but invest in our future together and plan the wedding of our dreams, we are getting married 16 July. I am blessed to have a fiance as wonderful as Michael, he sticks with me through thick and thin. He is the type of man every lady would want, he helps with the maintenance on the house, doing the dishes, helping with the washing, cooking and somehow he always has time to fit in foot massages for me. He treats me like a real lady 100% of the time. Participating in this would be my way of showing him some appreciation for all he has done for me. I love him so much. We definitely need to win this prize as we would love to kick start married life here in Nelspruit and then continue on our road trip honeymoon. PLEASE PICK US!!!

We mostly deserve this luxurious weekend as year in and out Janco mostly work in Mozambique, Botswana, and Zimbabwe we do not get to spend much time together, as we are always entertaining guest, seeing that other people are happy on the different trips from 4x4 trips to canoeing and hiking from making scrumptious meals for all the guest, to pitching tents three four times on a trip.  It will be wonderful just to be able to relax and enjoy each others company, not thinking about any one else than each other.  We have been married for 10 years and have 1 daughter of 8 years old.

We believe as a team we can concur any one we have great spirit, we can outwit, and outplay all as the two of us only needs half a word from the other one even half a look and we understand and know the rest.

We deserve a romantic getaway to just spend time with each other the strengthen our already great marriage that is build on Trust, Love and our Great Heavenly Father Jesus Christ.

My husband and I recently got married and this prize would be the ultimate romantic getaway for us, although we were on honeymoon we have never had an experience like this one that you guys are offering.

We have been together for 5 years now before we tied the knot and we have never ever done anything without the other and I don't think we ever will.

We are two very competitive and energetic people and we always try to bring out the best in each other.
This competition will be the ultimate test of endurance for our relationship to see if it can withstand any obstacle thrown our way, because it is usually small things that test you the best of them all.

When all is said and done then the weekend away will be like a celebration of our ever lasting love for each other.
We want to use this opportunity to show South Africans that we are definitely the most in love couple and that way we want to try and be an inspiration for other couples to never give up on a relationship, but to keep fighting for what you want and to make it work.

Simon & Fatima

To vote for Simon & Fatima, type 4 into the entry form below.

I met my girlfriend Fatima in June 2009. I was staying in Gecko Lodge, Hazyview. She was working there as a receptionist. As we got chatting, I was struck by her personality & cute smile. The next day I took her into Kruger (as she had never been before). That was the start of a beautiful relationship.

This photo was taken in august 2010, whilst on holiday in England (my home country). We were there for 3 weeks, meeting my family, showing her around my hometown & going to the beach. We rounded it off in London where we did some sightseeing. Fatima had never left South Africa, so it was a giant step for her.

We don’t get to spend as much time together as we would like. I visit her every 25 days when I’m on leave. So winning this competition would be a golden opportunity to spend some quality time together. I wake up every day feeling so privileged & grateful for her allowing me into her life. She has enriched my life & words really can’t express how much she means to me. Ngiyabonga Fatima. Ngiyakuthanda.

I have been wondering how to spoil the love of my life and let her know the true depth of my feelings, emnotweni is the answer. And, I’ll be pleased to hear, I am the winner and it doesn’t involve any expensive from my pocket as I would have won prizes valued at R10 000.00 for my undying love!

The secret is, the thing she really wants is simply to know that I’ve been thinking about her. Just as a simple romantic two nights away at Luxurious Hotel in Emnotweni would be an ultimate ideal of the moment and is likely to get more of a reaction than a lovely (but probably expected) bouquet of long-stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day so as we both shall bask in the beautiful memories forever.

This woman (Maria Mohlala) has became a pillar of my strength since we met 3 years ago and this amazing offer Emnotweni will be giving me, would nourish our love for good and i want to spoil her with her favourite decent bottles of wine, her favourite liqueur, some delicious or snacks, aromatherapy candles and essential oils that i bought at Riverside Mall (Dead Sea Salt) for massage in the evening, bubble bath and ...many more that Emnotweni will surprise me with. Our beautiful picture tells all. Please see attached!

Myself and Reyno met at varsity in 2004 and have been together ever since.....through think and thin!!!!  We got married on 19 Dec 2009.  It was the happiest day of our lives.

We would really like to win this amazing prize, as we need a break away from our busy lives.  It is difficult to keep the romance alive when things around us are changing and moving so fast.....we need some "us" time and I think a special weekend away by ourselves would really add a new spark to our relationship!!!  We have also recently found out that we are pregnant...yay!!! Unfortunately I haven't been feeling too great and I'm sure some pampering would do me some good (and my husband will be rid of my constant complaining). 

Marriage isn't a walk in the park, but when u have found your match......communicate, listen, respect, trust and LOVE.....then only will you find happiness within one another!

When death comes knocking at your door
Sucks the life right out of you
A holiday for two is all you need
To sooth the grieving heart

I want to lift you high in the air
Smother you with love’s sweet kiss
To let you know that I am here
Loving caring and soothing your heart

So I am trying my best
To win the best
A Holiday for 2
For you and me

To rest & revive
A tired soul
For love’s sweet touch
My Baby ... all for you!!

If it is a poem you needed there you have it or just plain words: The best for my Baby...

Willie & Yolanda

To vote for Willie & Yolanda, type 8 into the entry form below.

We Willie and Yolanda Steenkamp are the full time parents of four busy children. A high school 14 year boy, a primary school girl 12 years, pre school girl 2 years and a 5 month old baby boy, and not pregnant again yet…..

Changing nappies, doing endless pyjama drills, running from the one school activity to another and attending meetings, leaves little time for a peaceful nap, let alone a good nights rest.

Conducting a business with special client needs also keeps us busy day time.  We both have extra mural activities which includes community service and various counselling.

So we think we deserve a weekend away from our dearest children, family, friends and work. So that we can spend our energy and creativity on each other without any disturbances.  And having a good nights rest will be amazing...

We are quite the busy couple and even though we spend so much time doing the things we love, we hardly ever get time to spend together with the one we love. We like to fun activities with added challenges and it looks like this competition fits the profile.

We would love to have some time alone together to enjoy each other again.

JUST THE TWO OF US...

I deserve a holiday because I need to recharge my batteries. I need to get away from the stress and gruelling pace of the ratrace.

I need to be alone with my husband and walk hand in hand with him on a beach, the waves lapping gently at our tows.

I need to sit under a palmtree and read a favourite book and swim in the ocean forever.
I need to go to sleep in peace and quiet and wake up to the sound of songbirds.
I need to sit on the deck of a restaurant by the water and eat fresh, healthy seafood.
I need all this to go back home rested, content and ready for another long haul.
I deserve a holiday because I need to recharge my batteries.
