The Benky family at Fairview - an interesting bunch of people

​Dr Anton Rupert said, “Old buildings are important, not only for their architectural features but also for the memories evoked of interesting people who lived there.”
In March 2024 Hermune Pienaar joined the Benky family at Fairview to capture a momentous occasion: the first time that all three of the Benkenstein children and their families got together at Fairview since 2018. There may be a difference in the age of our grandchildren, but they got together like a house on fire. Of course, there were sparks and tears every now and then, but all in all, we had such fun. Fortunately, the four little S.A. grandchildren are pretty bilingual, but we were amazed at how fast the Australian grandchildren could grasp the gist of an Afrikaans conversation. ​
