The CRRA is a group of volunteers who look after the interests of the village by means of various portfolios: Chairman, Finance/ Advertising, Public Relations, Fire Prevention/fighting, Community Affairs, Environment and Maintenance and Infrastructure. Membership is a voluntary contribution of R 50.00 pa.

The hall is available for hire for private events. There are photos and history of the cannons and shipwrecks in the entrance hall. There is an art exhibition during December.

We are very fortunate to live in a very low “petty” crime rate area. Vigilance is a necessity – don’t invite criminals into your home. We enjoy a voluntary crime watch service made up of local residents who offer their time to drive around the village at night to act as a deterrent to would be criminals. Searchlights, cellphone and numbers to SAPS and Hi-Tec Security are provided. Please volunteer your services and join the Whats App “Crime Watch Buzz Group”. 

Please join our free Buzz Group to be kept updated of local events and news items. Contact Wilma Crous 0828237568.
