Matjiesfontein: Show ‘n Tell
Why Matjiesfontein?
The town is a declared heritage site – it has a rich history of entertainment, murder, mayhem and magic. The Victorian buildings and antiques are well preserved and feels like a magic set waiting for something to happen. It’s isolated and forgotten in the semi desert – so I felt it is the perfect place to have a weekend of play and escapism.
And next year?
Show ‘n Tell falls over the South African public holiday of National Heritage Day. Heritage Day is the end of September – spring time in South Africa. Watch the blog for more details of next year’s event.
