Our thoughts and encouragement go out to all our Lowveld members affected by the floods last week.
Hennale Steyn (Lowveld Bailli) reports: "When the rains came, we had just returned from OR Tambo, after 2 months away. Luckily we stopped at a Woolies on the way home to stock up on a few necessaries.Otherwise we would have been without food for a while, and would have had to rely only on sustenance from the wine cellar! Although we were threatened, fortunately for us, a burst dam wall allowed the flood waters in front of our home to escape."
For those of you far away here are a couple of photos..
