Families often joke that they only see each other at funerals. Sadly, this is sometimes true.
We had our first ever (or that I am aware of) family reunion after an uncle of mine was brutally murdered on his dairy farm in Krugersdorp. Now his 21 year old son is running the place. Wearing a shirt that reads 'plaasjapie', he is clearly the right person for the job. We went for a walk where he showed us how everything works, how to make cheese and even fetched some of the week-old calves so I can take photos of them. How cute are they!? I mean, seriously...
On the way back we saw a car dealership in a really run down part of Krugersdorp, with the pay-off line 'As good as it gets'. Ironic. And quite sad. For some people that will really be as good as it gets. Or for a while still at least.
