Tourism officer, Alet Swanepoel, feels strongly that Vryheid deserves to win the title of ‘Town of the Year’, saying that Vryheid offers everything a holiday maker could want. “We have hot springs, game farms, and we are in the Battlefield’s Route. We also have a lovely climate, a charming blend of cultures, and it is a lovely place for your children to grow up in, which is what makes me passionate about Vryheid and proud to live here,” says Alet. “We have everything except the sea, but we can always take a drive and spend a day by the sea if we want to.”
