Tweni Talk: Farmer’s market attracts the crowds
Some 18 traders arrived to pitch their stalls.
A MOST successful Muddy Boots Market took place last Sunday with many new traders! There was a total of 18 traders, with a few ‘no shows’, which is always disappointing, but the new addition of a Farmer’s Market has been extremely popular and successful.

Farmer’s Market stallholder Kyle Solomon (11) had his first market day and sold organic tomatoes, free-range eggs, ‘Tiger bread’ baked by mom Julie Solomon and decorated rocks by Marianne Calder. If anyone is committed and wants to join this market on the first Sunday of every month, contact your scribe at 082 3051799. The community is sincerely thanked for their wonderful support. Proceeds from traders’ fees go towards the Tweni Camera Upgrade Fund – every little bit counts.
Well done
Proud dad Cabri van Zyl reports that Suid-Natal Primary pupils Simoné Ferreira, Ellri van Zyl and Danielle Marais took part in Ugu trials last week. All three were chosen for the Ugu District Netball team and represented the district at the KZN trials held in Durban. They played exceptionally well and the school is very proud of them.
Great snakes!
Some inconsiderate fool actually took his pet Burmese python to Tweni beach last weekend – even down to the children’s pool! Law enforcement officers were called in to ask him to leave, but not before visitors to the beach had been frightened away. What was he thinking?
Tweni titbits
The Collectibles gathered at Trattoria Casa Mia on the banks of the Umtentweni River for their monthly lunch last Saturday to enjoy good company, service and food. To Ria and Rod Hackland – enjoy Italy and Croatia.
