All the way from Zimbabwe

Pieter Wessels
With a name like Pieter Hermanus Marthinus Wessels one would expect the new occupant of Unit 85 to be a diehard Afrikaner. Right? Wrong.

Pieter is a third generation Zimbabwean. He was born in Masvingo (formerly Fort Victoria) 56 years ago and grew up in Kadoma (formerly Gatooma) where his family still farms. He attended Jameson High School in Kadoma, matriculating in 1980.

After completing his school career, he became an apprentice motor mechanic, but gave it up after two years. Since then he worked in various capacities before joining a waste water treatment company in Maun, Botswana. Here he lived and worked for ten years before accepting a position at his company’s Bela-Bela branch at the beginning of this year, mainly because it brought him closer to his son and daughter who live in Pretoria and Johannesburg.

Pieter investigated various residential options before leasing a unit in our village, mainly because of its affordability and comfort. He is also impressed with the attractive surroundings and the state of our security.
