Editorial 14 June 2013
They “kam and they go”, it is true. Some don’t go that far, they can still visit – like the Besters, who are leaving St Francis after almost three years.
Some come and go, others come, get involved, make a substantial difference, build a monument and then go. Like Rob and Sam Bester, who made a huge contribution to the St Francis Kromme Trust, where Rob was acting chairman for the last few months, especially in renovating the Heritage Eco Centre amongst other projects.
Sam soon were called the “Shark lady” as she was called in whenever a shark, penguin or other marine specie washed up somewhere on our coastline. Many kids enjoyed a rocky shore study with her, or art lessons at the St Francis Sustainable Seas Centre – the biggest monument they are leaving behind.
Rob, Sam, Luke and Julia - our best wishes for your new venture. At least it’s “back home” for you guys! Enjoy KZN, and we see you in December!
