UPDATE: We're fighting hard to Save the Touwsrivier Ontspanningsklub!

In just over a week, your support has driven significant media coverage (WoesTV, Worcester Standard) and pushed us into discussions with BVM, SAPS, and Heritage Western Cape to register the property as a Provincial Heritage Site!

We have officially engaged Transnet and are putting pressure on the Regional Head, Phillip Zondo.

Thank you to every signatory! Your voice is making a difference.
We need to keep the pressure on. Please sign and share the petition today to help us protect Touwsrivier’s heritage for future generations. Petition Link: https://c.org/DzyVbKfZ8B
