The Tribe brings women entrepreneurs together
Anwen Mojela
On Saturday morning, March 21, Hoedspruit’s female entrepreneurs attended a women’s business networking event, The Tribe, at the Aerotel Hotel.
From the moment attendees arrived, the event was less about formalities and more about connection. Guests were welcomed with mimosas in the hotel’s beautiful outdoor space, allowing women from diverse businesses to mingle in a relaxed, friendly environment. A symbolic “runway” entrance led guests into airplane-style seating, setting the tone for a morning built on ambition, collaboration, and elevation, both professionally and personally.
At the heart of the launch was Theresa de Beer, founder of The Tribe and owner of Next Stop Transfers. She shared her vision for a network that goes beyond simple networking: a supportive ecosystem where women lift each other, share knowledge, and collaborate for mutual growth. Her words resonated with attendees, many of whom were meeting like-minded peers for the first time, discovering shared challenges and mutual inspiration.
The event’s speakers added a personal, human touch that reflected the heart of The Tribe. Antonia De Luca, founder of Antonia Botanicals, The Farmhouse Shoppe, and Safari Index Africa, spoke candidly about her entrepreneurial journey, offering lessons learned from years of building businesses from the ground up.
Attendees enjoyed tastings of her botanical products and received signed copies of her book, Recipes from Our Organic Garden: Leafy Greens Café, giving the morning a sensory and interactive element.
Carol Maasch from Bushbaby Tours shared her own story of overcoming setbacks to achieve success, striking a chord with guests and sparking conversations long after her talk ended.
Networking was at the centre of the morning, with women sharing stories, business ideas, and practical advice with each other.

Koru Camp team conquers fear at Hoedspruit Reptile Centre
Anwen Mojela
What began as a morning filled with fear ended in triumph for five members of Koru Camp after completing a snake handling course at the Hoedspruit Reptile Centre.
Koru Camp is a nonprofit in the Greater Kruger focussing on conservation education of communities around the Kruger National Park.
Though the camp guides Bongani Mgwena and Koketso Shai were eager to learn, it was a different story for the others. When Tinyiko Ngobeni, Sonto Maduna, and Vinolia Mashele arrived at the centre, they were adamant they would never touch a snake, even jumping at the sight of one. By the end of the day, however, they each overcame their fears to successfully handle some of the region’s most feared species.
The course focussed on snake behaviour, identification, and dispelling common myths surrounding the reptiles. Participants handled several species, including a puff adder, a snouted cobra, and an African rock python.
For the Koru team, who spend much of their time living and working in the bush, the training was more than educational; it was essential.
The instructor guided the group through the course with a calm and supportive approach, helping them gradually build confidence and understanding.
Ngobeni shared that her fear of snakes ran deep.
“I used to be terrified of snakes; even photos of them in books would scare me. My grandfather died from a snakebite, so I would run away and sometimes injure myself. Now I know I can stay calm and not run. It was scary, but it has made me a changed person,” she said.
Mashele said the course changed his perspective.
“Now I know that snakes are important.
“They kill rats that can spread disease. I will never kill a snake now,” he added.
The Koru team described the experience as empowering, saying they are proud to start the year with new knowledge, practical skills, and a renewed respect for wildlife.
Hoedspruit Reptile Centre (HRC), established in 1984, is one of Africa’s oldest and best-known reptile centres. What began modestly has grown into a respected hub for conservation, training, and education.
Located 15km outside Hoedspruit in the Greater Kruger region, HRC is ideally positioned for reptile and amphibian research and public education. The centre also assists lodges, farmers, and local communities with reptile, amphibian, and arachnid-related concerns.

De Hoeds Centre: A new renovated hub in Hoedspruit
Anwen Mojela
Driving into Hoedspruit from the south along the R40, the newly renovated De Hoeds Centre immediately catches the eye.
The old “AutoDoc” that once marked this spot seems almost a distant memory, replaced by a modern, inviting hub where commerce, community, and culture meet. Jacques Burger Jr, the visionary behind the transformation, has applied the principle of “position, position, position” to perfection. The centre is not just a convenient stop; it is a destination in its own right, a place where locals, tourists, and safari guides converge. The centre houses seven tenants, many connected by family or long-standing friendships, and the camaraderie is tangible. Walking through the centre, the air carries a mixture of fresh coffee, baked bread, and the earthy scent of local produce.
Home-baked
At Safari Pantry, shelves are brimming with home-baked sourdough, ciabatta, Italian loaves, nuts, jams, and locally sourced venison. The aroma of freshly baked bread mingles with the colors of African artwork displayed throughout the store, creating a space that celebrates both culinary craft and local culture. The founders, a couple with a shared passion for food and art, describe the centre as “a place where everything comes together,” and that sense of intention is palpable.
Pruning and all else
Nearby, The Pruning Shop buzzes with practicality. Rows of pruning shears, gardening tools, and farming equipment line the walls, alongside the rugged Boerboel clothing range and a small but carefully curated selection of vapes and refills. Staff are ready to advise on equipment servicing or pruning needs, embodying the mix of friendly expertise and utility that defines the centre.
Spif Chicken
At Spif Chicken, the atmosphere shifts to warmth and familiarity. Johan van der Sandt explains how the location to Hoedspruit has opened doors to new customers while maintaining the loyalty of longtime patrons. With 48 chicken products on offer, from free-range selections to specialty items, the franchise caters to lodges, households, and restaurants alike and also offers an array of sauces and spices.
Best coffee in Hoedspruit
Just steps away, Rooster Café awakens the day at 07:00, brewing what the team proudly calls the best coffee in Hoedspruit. The café is alive with chatter and clinking cups, and the aroma of coffee and toasted vetkoek drifts across the stoep. Jeanne van der Sandt describes the café as “a little care place”, where people gather, relax, and share a moment, whether locals picking up their daily caffeine fix or international visitors stopping in after a safari.
De Hoeds — a destination in its own right
Squeaky clean 4×4
The centre also caters to those who prefer action and efficiency with the Hoedies Wash & Wax. When 4×4 vehicles emerge from the bush coated in mud or from coastal trips salted by seawater, the car wash’s lifts and high-pressure machines clean every inch of chassis and undercarriage. Adrian Fourie explains that they also offer valet services, taking out seats, washing carpets and seats, and returning vehicles pristine, all while customers sip coffee or enjoy a snack from the café. The centre’s thoughtful layout means guests can park, shop, eat, and wash their vehicles without ever feeling rushed, blending convenience and leisure seamlessly.
Plumbing and electrical
Wolf Plumbing and Electrical brings a different kind of innovation to the centre. Bruno Abetti describes their use of advanced machines, high-pressure drain cleaners, fiber-optic cameras, and acoustic and gas leak detection devices, which make plumbing faster, more efficient, and less disruptive. “We can tackle issues that used to take hours in just 30 minutes,” he says. Their technology-driven approach not only saves clients time and money but also demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and modern problem-solving, reinforcing the centre’s reputation as a place where practical solutions meet forward-thinking service.
Official opening of De Hoeds Centre
The official opening of De Hoeds Centre on February 12 was a celebration in every sense.
Jacques Burger Jr shared stories of racing motorbikes across what is now the paved parking lot, laughter ringing out across the courtyard. Guests gathered for the ceremonial ribbon cutting, performed with pruning scissors from The Pruning Shop, and were treated to an impressive spread prepared by T1 and Pumza of Bundu Kitchen. The event was more than a ribbon-cutting; it was a toast to community, a recognition of hard work, and a celebration of a space where commerce and camaraderie intersect.
Walking through the centre today, it’s clear that every detail has been thoughtfully curated. The smell of sourdough baking, the sound of 4×4 lifts, the chatter of café patrons, and the gleam of freshly polished cars all come together to create an atmosphere that feels both lively and welcoming.
From artisan breads and local art to specialised plumbing services and gourmet chicken, De Hoeds Centre has become a hub for Hoedspruit, a place where locals and visitors alike can shop, gather, and connect. In a town celebrated for its wildlife, lodges, and natural beauty, the centre now stands as a landmark of community spirit, entrepreneurial vision, and hospitality.

Nyani Cultural Village keeps Limpopo’s living, vibrant heritage alive
Anwen Mojela
As drums rise into the evening air and firelight flickers across the performers’ faces, Nyani Cultural Village reminds visitors that culture is not something locked in books or museums. It is lived, felt, and carried forward through rhythm, movement, and memory.
Nyani Cultural Village was founded by choreographer and cultural practitioner Maureen Lahoud, whose career spans decades and continents. Lahoud holds an honours degree in dance and drama, is a qualified ballet and aerobics teacher, and has worked professionally as a stage and film actress and dancer. She spent 16 years in Turkey, Greece, Tunisia, and Austria as a choreographer and director of entertainment in the tourism sector before returning to South Africa in May 2008.
She intended to build something lasting, an African dance group and cultural village that could serve visitors, schools, lodges, local events, and special celebrations across Limpopo and beyond. “Limpopo is an underserved province,” Lahoud says. “Yet it is one of South Africa’s strongest tourism regions. The cultural heritage that exists within rural communities is extraordinary and has real potential to create sustainable job opportunities.”
That vision now takes shape through Roots of Rhythm, a 12-member performance group that works with more than 100 lodge clients in the Hoedspruit area. The group performs evening tribal shows on request, while day visitors can experience Nyani Cultural Village’s signature one-hour production, Limpopo Pathways.
The village is located at Tshukudu Game Reserve, and its setting allows guests to combine cultural experiences with game drives or meals, making it an accessible yet immersive destination.
Limpopo Pathways is staged within an authentic Shangaan village and traces the origins, movements and settlement of Limpopo’s tribes. The production features the costumes, songs and dances of the San (Bushmen), Shona, Venda, Balobedu (Modjadji the Rain Queen), Pedi, BaHananawa (Tswana) and Shangaan people, while also reflecting the historical influence of Swati and Zulu cultures in the region. The narrative was developed by scriptwriter and anthropologist Mike Gardner, ensuring cultural accuracy while keeping the story fast-paced and engaging.
“We keep the storytelling tight,” Lahoud explains. “Short, powerful scenes, colourful costume changes, and dances that say what words often can’t.”
Performers are not chosen through open auditions. Instead, selection happens from within the group itself.
“Over the years, I’ve learned that trust is everything,” says Lahoud. “The team needs to feel comfortable with newcomers, and that approach has worked far better.” Nyani Cultural Village is careful not to present African history through pity or guilt. “Our past includes hardship,” Lahoud says.
“Political struggles, climate challenges, and conflicts over land are part of the story. But this is not about sadness. It’s about resilience, joy, and pride.”

Drakies spread Mandela Day joy
In the spirit of Mandela Day, learners from Laerskool Drakensig Primary School, in partnership with the Drakie Hands of Hope initiative, visited Shekinah Academy to deliver school supplies and spend quality time with the children.
The outreach was inspired by a heartfelt appeal shared by Benediction Moropane Mania on the Hoedspruit Town Facebook group, requesting basic educational items for the academy. The post quickly caught the attention of Drakie Hands of Hope, who rallied support and collected donations for the cause.
On Mandela Day, the team delivered boxes filled with colouring books, stationery, and essential classroom supplies. Learners from Drakensig Primary spent their 67 minutes of service colouring, sharing sweets and refreshments, and engaging in joyful activities with the younger children at Shekinah Academy.
The group was warmly welcomed by founder Billy Jones Mahiya and his dedicated team of educators, who continue to create a nurturing environment for learners despite facing severe resource constraints.
“This initiative was more than just a once-off visit; it marked the beginning of a long-term partnership to support Shekinah Academy in their ongoing needs,” said Jenique Bornman from Drakie Hands of Hope.
The organisation has called on the wider Hoedspruit community to join their mission to uplift the academy and ensure every child receives a fair start in life.

Rare plant rediscovered in canyon
A plant species not seen in over 70 years has been rediscovered in the Blyde River Canyon, bringing new hope to conservationists and scientists.
The rare species, belonging to the genus Thorncroftia, has now been identified as a new and unique species, endemic to the canyon and likely unknown to science until now.
The rediscovery was made possible through the ongoing ecological restoration work led by the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere (K2C).
The area surrounding Mariepskop, once home to natural grasslands and forest patches, was transformed in the 1960s by commercial pine plantations. This severely damaged the ecosystem, pushing many native plant species to the brink of extinction.
The story of this remarkable find dates back to 1954, when botanist Dr Leslie Codd collected a specimen, he believed to be Plectranthus succulentus.
He later reclassified it as Thorncroftia in 1961. However, no further sightings of the plant were recorded, and it gradually faded from scientific memory.
In recent years, K2C’s catchment restoration programme began clearing invasive pine and gum trees from the area to rehabilitate the degraded landscape. These efforts, carried out by local teams, helped restore natural light and nutrients to the soil, conditions essential for the return of indigenous plant life. In September 2024, Prof Kevin Balkwill, alongside K2C project manager Simon Attwood and members of the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Plant Specialist Group, set out to find the lost species. Using historic herbarium records and aerial imagery, the team retraced Codd’s original expedition. Despite heavy degradation of the site, a few Thorncroftia plants were discovered growing on rocks recently cleared of pines.
“This plant would have been lost forever if the alien trees weren’t removed,” said Attwood. “Restoration made the difference between extinction and survival.” Originally thought to be Thorncroftia succulenta, a species found only in the Soutpansberg mountains, the Blyde River Canyon population displayed unique floral features and occurred far from known populations.
This, along with clear morphological differences, led to the conclusion that the Blyde plant is a distinct species.
In April 2025, during peak flowering season, the team returned and found the plant in full bloom, confirming its uniqueness. Balkwill has now formally described the species as Thorncroftia coddii, in honour of Codd’s role in its discovery.
The plant is characterised by vibrant purple and pink flowers and a distinct floral structure. It typically blooms at the end of summer, lighting up the rocky hillsides where it grows.
“This discovery is more than a scientific milestone,” said Attwood. “It symbolises nature’s resilience and the power of restoration work.”
The rediscovery highlights the importance of ongoing conservation efforts in the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. The K2C Biosphere’s work not only protects biodiversity but also secures critical ecosystem services for nearby communities, such as water supply and tourism opportunities.
As the landscape continues to heal, Thorncroftia coddii stands as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through persistence, restoration, and a commitment to protecting South Africa’s natural heritage.
