A sombre day. Commemoration of the 200-year anniversary of the Battle of Egazini (Battle of Grahamstown 1819). A pivotal day in our history. A tragic day.

An extraordinary morning in the Oatlands Park
Brimming with activity – 4 chaps exercising, Crosby on his morning litter-prowl, and the local herd feeding the compost. All set in the splendour of the freshly decorated bins standing proud in a clean, lush park.
Progress at Oatlands Park
Thanks to teachers and pupils of College / DSG who are painting the Bins. Undercoat applied, now excited to see their artistic exploits.
Dramatic month in Grahamstown
A water crisis – caused by drought and, worryingly, lack of infrastructure maintenance – resulted in the Sarah Baartman* District Municipality (includes Makana Municipality) being declared a local state of disaster.
Welcome back to The Grahamstown Project
2019 is going to be a cracker. I can feel it in my bones. But I can feel drought in my bones too so be extra-wise with water.
Oatlands Park over the Christmas period
Thank you to Patrick Hale and community-minded local residents for cleaning Oatlands Park and surrounds over the Christmas period.
