Kate Olmesdahl in "A
Twilight Soiree of Song"
Kate is believed to be
the first South African
born singer ever to have
given a full recital on
her own at a public
theatre at the age of 13
years.
"Young
diva 13-year old Kate
Olmesdahl thrilled
capacity crowds on two
successive weekends in
August at the local
Masque theatre in
Muizenberg. Kate
performed under the
banner "Twilight Soiree"
and her unbelievable
renditions of song
simple and challenging,
left the patrons
speechless. The most
outstanding aspect of
this young girl's
performance is not only
her voice: it is her
maturity, coupled with
an innate humility,
which endears her to her
audiences."

Charismatic Riaan Maritz
has an eye and a feeling
for space and
functionality. He
recently opened a
boutique style nursery
on the corner of Long
and Aberdeen street. It
is a true reflection of
creating functional
space and the locals
love it! “You can do a
formal garden with
indigenous plants,” says
Riaan. The backdrop in
his office bears an
almost life-size picture
to prove this point – it
is of a garden at
Arabella Estate. Riaan
also featured in the
September issue of The
South African Homeowner
for his amazing garden
architecture at Selkirk
House in Hermanus

Opreration BRAKENJAN
Since then
thousands of dogs and cats have
been fed and, with public
 support,
will continue to be fed. Some of
the animals are fed daily, and
others twice weekly by 84-year
old Joyce Rawstorn, who’s become
known to all the animals in
Zwelihle as an angel in
disguise. They know the sound of
her car so well, as soon as they
hear her coming, they run after
her like the rats in the story
of the Pied Piper.
The Hermanus Times appreciates
the continued support from the
animal loving community,
especially the stores that set
aside special trolleys for
donations. Without the efforts
of Pick n Pay, Eastcliff Spar,
Gateway Spar, 7/11 Onrus and Bay
Bargain Centre in the industrial
area, Brakkenjan would not be
the success it is today.
Also a big thank you to the
restaurants’ that donate their
leftovers to Joyce, it makes the
food last longer when mixed with
pellets. The animals rely on the
charity of others, as for some
of them it is the only way to
get food because their owners
are struggling themselves. Some
of the dogs and cats do not even
have the “luxury” of an owner
and they depend entirely on the
food Joyce and Annelie deliver.
If you would like to make a
contribution, please leave a bag
or tin of pet food in the
trolleys provided at the shops
mentioned above. Know that any
donation, large or small, is
carefully handed out and fed to
dogs and cats that need it
desperately. For more info,
Janine van der Riet can be
contacted on 082 885 0226. |
