This morning I was reminded yet again of the wonderful country we live in. I’ve got guests visiting from Potchefstroom — the place where I was born and spent most of my years. It took me back to memories of Vredefort, where my grandpa had a farm, and where we took Sunday School kids and Scouts for camp. And of course, I thought about the Vredefort Dome — over 2 billion years old and so massive it’s visible from space! 🌍 Did you know that from the warm Indian Ocean waves of Durban to the icy Atlantic waters of Cape Town, our coastline is one of the most diverse in the world? For me it was just a reminder this morning that our land carries stories far older than us, shaping the beauty we see today. Let’s share those stories with fellow members who don’t know South Africa like we do. 👉 Drop your favourite Did you know fact below — let’s celebrate the hidden gems of Mzansi together.

what was your favourite menu item to order? Mine was the malted Milkshakes...double thick. The favourite for many burgers, chips and gravy. I am sure most of us remember this Roadhouse in Highlands North, The Dolls House, its about to be demolished.

I just have to share this morning’s sunrise here on the East Coast — it was absolutely breathtaking. Moments like these remind us how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful part of South Africa. The colours, the calm, the promise of a new day… pure magic. 🎥 Got a sunrise or sunset clip that captures your corner of South Africa? Share it with us.

What else can make South Africa so lekker as to hear the nature sing songs for us? I took this with my cell phone in 2023 and I wonder if @Gareth Parkes can maybe identify this bird for us?
