Velddrif, Western Cape
Velddrif is situated some 2 km upstream from where the Berg River flows into the sea at the Bay of St Helena on the Cape West Coast. Velddrif is a coastal fishing town in the Bergrivier Local Municipality, Western Cape. The name Velddrif came into existence when a farmer, Theunis Smit, took his stock through a drift in the veld, to find grazing across the river. The animals often had to swim across the river. Later on, in 1899, a pont was built, which was the only means of crossing the Berg River.

During the next few years the farm was converted into an organic wine farm.

Mandela's release - what a day this was in our history
We worked frantically through the night to call together out activists and put all the logistics in place for a normal rally: designed and printed pamphlets and posters, distributed them, organised transport, sound systems, marshals to control the crowd, all the usual things.
But because we only heard about the release on Saturday evening, we were just not able to track down any of the companies from which usually hire walkie talkies, so we had no means of communication the next day – and it was long before the days of cell phones!
