Actors from the Movie Liefling , Bobby van Jaarsveld and Marlee vd Merwe and Binnelanders  Paul du Toit with 7de Laan’s Ingrid Paulse (Vanessa) and Hykie Berg from Binnelanders and Survivor on MNET, spent the night at Stirling Manor Boutique Guest House.

Our conference centre were used to do a press release to inform the media of the purpose why the celebreties were visiting Hartbeespoortdam. All of them pledged their time for the charity event Harties Wheelathon for the disabled. For some of us after only a bit of sleep we were up before sunrise to prepare breakfast and to welcome the wonderful clear skies.  The water with the yachts as background from the dining room, were breathtaking and all of us took a few moment to shoak in the colours of the sun and mountain.  In a few minutes Linda Korsten entered the guest house and had everyone up and running and getting breakfast.  A happy and a lot of talking went on at breakfast and everyone was excited about the charity event.  For me it was a humble experience, here in my guest house I had this actors and celebrities, and actually they are just as human as us. We do see them in the media, in the movies and on the television but I think people forget to see the person, family man or woman behind the name.  I am greatfull  for this experience and priviledge for hosting this event. For all that were involved, the South African Police, Silver Orange and my staff, a big thank you to all.
