“Hierdie week het ek by die VLV by Rietpoel in die Overberg gepraat met hulle 58ste verjaardag. En met tipiese boere-gasvryheid, is ek oorlaai met geskenke.

Rochelle (byna 16) is een van die sterre in die ou Wolwerivier nedersetting buite Melkbosstrand. Die graad 11 leerder lyk skaam wanneer die gemeenskapswerker Magdalene Minnaar haar naderroep en sê,Read More
