Once a Bushvelder, always a Bushvelder

George (68) and Elize (65) Yeo lived in Mokopane for 33 years. George worked in the motor trade, latterly at Midas Vehicle Parts & Accessories. Elize worked for various employers as an administrator.

George and Elize Yeo

This charming couple considered various retirement options, including the Western Cape. However, the windy weather conditions did not appeal to them. Neither did a detailed internet search provide them with satisfactory venues. So they made up their minds that the Bushveld was where they wanted to be. Having come to that decision, Bela Bela was almost an obvious choice.

They are very pleased that they settled for Unit 40, Renaissance. Apart from the enjoyable weather conditions, they love our attractive, well-run retirement village and its friendly residents. In fact, both emphasised that their relocation to Bela Bela felt like a homecoming.

George and Elize have a simple, effective attitude about getting along with other people, i.e. friendliness brings about friendliness in return.

Elize enjoys cloth painting and crocheting, while George dabbles in picture painting. He is also a keen woodworker and is thankful for Louis van Wyk's offer to use his workshop.

The couple  have three children and seven grandchildren.
