The Boat and Caravan Club hosted their annual Spring Festival which included the opening cruise and first powerboat race for the season.
On the weekend of September 28 and 29 this festival kicked off with the opening cruise which entails boats of all shapes and sizes, participating in a leisurely cruise around the dam, officially opening Witbank Dam for summer.
This is an annual event that usually happens the first week in September, where all are welcome.
The powerboat race that was held on the Sunday took the junior, leisure and inflatable boats to the water.
The leisure boats made for some action between two local pilots, John-Ross Duncan with co-pilot Lea Sampson and Steven Barham with co-pilot Megan Ponmoon.
