March On!

Until a week ago the tag line of Franschhoek's Bastille Festival: "a celebration of freedom", was in danger of being seriously undermined because of the calling off of the proposed Freedom Walk/Run. The event failed to attract a sponsor and the FWVTA was compelled to move ahead with their plans without it. The Month happened to learn of the cancellation of the Freedom Walk at a meeting with Cnlr Gordon Pfeifer. A concerned call to Charlotte van Zyl (of the Delta Trust) soon put things right. Thanks to Solms Delta Wine Estate for their generous sponsorship of this year's event. How fitting that their minstrels will lead the procession into town this year. Vive le True Community Spirit, vive.
