Haenertsburg celebrates their 30th spring festival

THE 30th spring festival kicked off in Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg on September 20.

The crab apple blossoms, azaleas and flowering cherry trees are in full bloom. There’s the orchid exhibition at the Magoebaskloof Hotel. There are craft markets at both the hotel and the village hall.

There’s gourmet food up and down the village main street and on the surrounding farms. Rissik Street also has quaint and interesting shops including a museum on the history of the area.

Vehicle aficionados can view the newest and the classics. There’s a photographic- and a potjiekos competition. There will also be live music at most venues ranging from classical to modern.

The village restaurant, The Red Plate, has been extended and refurbished. The Iron Crown Pub & Bistro, under new management, has undergone a facelift in every way. Linda Halkon and her son James, a qualified chef, have refurbished and renovated this village landmark. Their latest feature is Sunday lunch under the Oak Tree at the back. The Iron Crown prides itself on the best hamburgers in Limpopo.

Picasso’s restaurant, at the village entrance on the R71, is to reopen its doors after being vacant for almost a year. The rickety wooden bridge has been replaced with sturdy planks and a new feature is thatching inside and out.

The festival will continue until September 28. Don’t miss out on the fun
