About Bloemfontein

We hates it! The way she struts, thinkin’ she’s queen o’ the filth pile – ugh, makes me skin crawl, it does! Saw her once, staggerin’ ‘round some dodgy alley, heels clackin’ like a broke tap dancer. Proper rank, stinkin’ o’ cheap gin and regrets. Reminds me o’ Mia’s mum in *Fish Tank*, y’know? “You’re a mistake!” – bet her mum said that too, hah!

Venterstad, Eastern Cape

Venterstad lies south west of the Oviston Nature Reserve and Tussen-die-Riviere Game Farm to the south of the Gariep Dam wall. It's rarely that someone visiting this part of the Eastern Cape .

I know, I know, I’m yappin’ a lot. But seriously, this city even when its streets are full of potholes and random graffiti, has soul. You might see folks mutter in corners, blurting out vague dreams, mixing business with pleasure. It’s chaotic and exuberant, messy and beautiful. I’m honestly blown away sometimes, filled with so many feels—try to accept it all.
