Personal message

In gale force winds, a fire from inland of the N2 near Knysna swept towards Plett. It reached the sea Cairnbrogie Estate, Solar Beach and Robberg Beach End. Many houses were lost on farms, in Kranshoek and on the South side of Plettenberg Bay.

Farmers’ livelihoods were destroyed, homes razed to the ground, families displaced. Firefighters were stretched to the limit and access was disrupted due to similar fires in Knysna. The greatest tragedy in Plett is a 24 year old man who lost his life from injuries sustained fighting the fires.

Plett has incredible fortitude and the affected families are receiving short-term support from every quarter.It will only be when the smoke is gone and the dust is settled – that families will start to realise the true extent of their losses. We will be looking to fund anything from school uniforms to replacement of firefighting equipment in the coming weeks.
