I hope that most of our Rustenburg community will be able to join together to picnic on our lawns and listen to the music that will be supplied by Fully Covered on Saturday 12 March. We have beautiful grounds, with the mountain as a stunning backdrop, and are eager to have you all relaxing and unwinding together, having fun and developing a sense of unity.
