We welcome new residents, Ebva and Ronelle Vos

Ebva (61) and Ronelle Vos (63) searched far and wide for a suitable place to retire in pleasant and secure surroundings. Recently they drove from Vanderbijlpark to Bela-Bela on a whim, spoke to a local estate agent, were shown a number of units in our village, fell in love with U1, and promptly bought it.

Ronelle was born in Lichtenburg, grew up in King William’s Town and matriculated at Tsumeb High School in 1977. Thereafter she enrolled at the University of Johannesburg to study journalism. Unfortunately, she was obliged to give up her studies due to a family tragedy. Subsequently she worked as a legal secretary, married and eventually concentrated on her role as homemaker.

Ebva was born in Umtata and grew up on the family farm in the Ugie district. He attended Ugie High School where he matriculated in 1978 before joining the Department of Correctional Services. He rose through the ranks and soon became a lieutenant. He resigned after ten years and joined SASOL where he worked until his retirement in 2020.

The couple were married in 2008. Ronelle has four children from a previous marriage and Ebva has two. Between them they have seven grandchildren.
