The always popular Parkview Potjiekos Competition was a big success! With more teams than ever it was a nail-biting event where there was not even an empty bowl or hungry stomach in sight. The competition was more fierce than ever!
Everyone's old favourite in fact was back with a bang! The festivities were high, the stalls were abustle and in true South African style the sun was out.
