The ‘Thembis of Philippi’. So much love and respect for the people of Philippi Village (suburb of Cape Town) woven into a beauty of 3 generations of women.

The story behind the ox wagon

Driving through our village many tourists photograph the ox wagon but do they know the story behind …???…

In 1988 Afrikaners were commemorating the ‘Great Trek’ of a few centuries ago when farmers of the ‘Cape’ (Cape Town and surrounds) took their household in ox wagons and went over the St Lowry’s Pass to a new world beyond.
