Terribly sad Derek, We cannot help thinking back of many happy times spent at Shingwedzi and getting a lump in the throat seeing the damage.

Thanks Z – it’s amazing to see just how quickly the flood waters are receding now that the rain has stopped.

How sad. What an amazingly terrifying visual impact this image gives. We’re so glad that everyone is safe. When we selected “like” that’s not really how we feel about this. Have a good day, Dries, Marilize and Joubert
