A few Saturdays ago i was fortunate enough to experience Sop an Soetes a lovely event expanding through Rawsonville an Surrounding farms. As the name says "SOP"(Soup) didnt really realise just how many different soups are out there an there is know better way than to wash it down with "SOETES"( red an white wines) any blend your heart desires and a steal at cost price, looking forward to experiencing it again next year.

After having travelled along a rough dirt road, we were disappointed to arrive at the Malgas Pont to discover it was busy with maintenance work. There was no sign from the N2 to advise travelers of possible delays with the pont to take one across the river. We intended to stay at the widely advertised Malgas Hotel. We arrived at about 12h30 and were advised by the farmers on the banks of the river who came to our rescue that the pont will only be operational by 16h00. The hotel did sent their boat to fetch us as well as other guests who were stranded on the bank but as no signs were put up to advise us, we could not trust this timing and did not want to wait so long, so turned around never to return.
