  Koti rules!

  Picking up on my rant about the baboons I have to do a shoutout to Koti Services. Now this is service! I called Rob after hours when I got home and saw the apocalyptic mess, and he said he would make a plan for a team in the morning – and they arrived en masse.

  Courteous, and wonderful workers that sorted our house out in a day – with continual refresher updates and a follow-up to ensure all was done properly.

  This is the kind of service one dreams of – well done to Koti Services, Rob and his team. Keep up the good work and thank you for a job very well done!

  FNB service excellence

  In a world where plenty people often have issues with banks, it was an absolute pleasure going into the FNB Hoedspruit branch and getting super, first-world service. Special mention to Ms Kgopelo (Daphne) Letebele who in a matter of an hour and twelve minutes had opened a bank account to my specifications, ordered the card and sent me on my way as a very happy, satisfied new client of FNB. The service was slick, information was superbly communicated and all in all it was a very pleasant experience.

  Well done to FNB and Daphne – keep up the good work and excellent service!

Klaserie Drift Amani: More Than a Safari

Lions calling at first light. Elephants crossing the dry riverbed as you swim. A leopard draped over a marula branch, in no hurry to move. This is the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve – one of the Greater Kruger’s wildest, least-discovered corners – and it’s where Klaserie Drift Amani, the newest chapter in the Klaserie Drift collection, has made its home.

Lady Godiva’s August Forecast: Opportunity Favours the Prepared

By August, the picture becomes clearer. The uncertainty of earlier months starts to lift, replaced by opportunities that seemed distant only a short while ago.

South Africa’s Rural Housing Revolution: What Does It Mean for Maruleng?

South Africa is experiencing a significant shift in its property market, one that is increasingly reshaping both rural areas and secondary towns.
