Plettenberg & Grabouw
In September, we went for a week to Plettenberg Bay. We had a relaxed time, going to the beach several times. The food highlight was definitely Barrington’s, a local brewery with tasty meals. Our usual visit to Île de Païn in Knysna was also on the schedule.
On the way back, we stopped in Grabouw for a few days as well at Houw Hoek Inn, the place where we got married almost 10 years ago. We…

Vegan Foodie in Greyton
Recently, we had the pleasure of spending three nights in Greyton, a small town nestled at the foot of the Riviersonderend Mountains in the Western Cape of South Africa. Our trip was an excellent opportunity to explore the vegan food scene in the area and enjoy some much-needed R&R.
On our way to the small town, we stopped at Peregrine Farmstall in Grabouw, a popular spot for locals and tourists…

Some fruit growers wish to export produce utilizing air freight to evade ongoing backlogs at Transnet.
The 2-week-long strike that ended final week noticed some growers delaying harvesting.
When the strike struck, about 850 containers of fruit, primarily apples and pears, was caught on the ports.

South Africa’s early stone fruit destined for abroad markets may very well be exported by air as exporters try and work round backlogs at Transnet’s ports following the practically two-week-long strike, Fruit SA has stated.
The clock is ticking, and the standard of the fruit is in danger.
Fruit SA is hoping that the backlog on the ports is cleared by the top of this week or subsequent week, Fhumulani Ratshitanga, CEO of Fruit SA, instructed Enterprise Insider South Africa.
“A number of the early stone fruit may very well be exported by way of airfreight, however hopefully sea freight can resume asap,” Ratshitanga stated.
In the course of the strike, as many as 850 containers of primarily apples and pears acquired caught in or en path to ports.
Some early stone fruit growers postponed harvesting through the strike, whereas some already resorted to air freight, at appreciable expense.
“There have been apple and pear packhouses that needed to shut down quickly because the supple chain was blocked up fully,” Ratshitanga stated.
“The strike, coupled with wind delays the final week, is placing a variety of strain on particularly the Port of Cape City to catch up and get again on schedule. If this could’t be executed within the subsequent week or two, we face prolonged delays much like final season, that can severely influence on the standard of the fruit and have main monetary implications,” she stated.
The commercial motion at Transnet disrupted varied sectors counting on state-owned ports and railway operators. The Durban Chamber of Commerce projected losses at R1 billion a day.

Its essential export locations are the EU, Russia, Asia and the Center East.

Burgers at The Orchard in Grabouw (2021-01-03)
Having spent the whole morning at Adene’s Farm Flowers out in Wolseley, we took a leisurely long scenic drive back home, heading through Villiersdorp with an eye on eventually grabbing lunch from The Hickory Shack, a particularly excellent smokehouse on the outskirts of Grabouw. However, on arrival at the skull mounted shed in the Elgin Valley, we were disappointed to find Hickory Shack rather…

Captivating Elgin Valley is part of the Western Cape’s Kogelberg Biosphere in South Africa’s Overberg region. The lush valley is “surrounded by Kogelberg, Groenberg, and Hottentot Hollands mountain ranges forming the Valley’s cool mountain plateau”. It’s one the most beautiful nature reserves I’ve experienced!

Fern-lined #singletrack, craggy #mountain #trails, fynbos traverses, sun-kissed water crossings, daredevil descents via fragrant pine forests, tarmac chicanes, and with verdant fruit orchards and vineyards as far as the eyes can see ... this is what the @libertygroupsa #transcapemtb19 riders got treated to on their final day in the saddle. A glorious route took them from the @houwhoekhotel near #Grabouw all the way to @holdenmanzwineestate outside #franschhoek. This arguably rates as the most exhilarating (and possibly scenic) of all the @transcapemtb stages, meandering via the #Winelands mountains, farmlands and plantations for well on 80km. Massive respect to all the #mtbheroes who took on this gruelling 600km-plus route from the #gardenroute, and via the #KleinKaroo, #Hessequa, #Overberg and into the heart of the Cape's 'French Quarter'. All the results, information and photos are available at www.transcapemtb.co.za #sony #sonyalpha #SonyZA #XperiaZA #sonyxperia #TransCapeMTB #asgsport #libertygroupsa #volvocars #mtb #peakdesign (at Holden Manz Wine Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtvNSzYB-kA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5vk3ip5tow2j

'Can't you see my wife is dead?' man yells before killing himself by running into tanker's flames
"Can't you see my wife is dead? Leave me alone! Leave me alone!"
These were the last words 61-year-old Ben Wiid spoke as he held on to his wife of 35 years, Riana, 58, his face pressed against hers in the wreck of their car in which she had died moments before.
Then, in a state of shock, the inconsolable Wiid rushed up a slope down which their car had rolled following a collision with a fuel tanker on the N2 close to Grabouw on Saturday. In full view of the burning tanker's driver and other bystanders, Wiid lay down in the flames and burnt to death.
