For the third networking event we were invited to the house of Harry Poortman, a Dutchman who sold his design office and moved to Kaapstad. A hard job again, loitering in Harry’s wondrous property high up the mountain, eating excellent food, drinking good wine, and networking.
While being painted as a Zulu warrior (Bram) and Zulu princess (Maud) we met Mohammed, member of the South-African Design Council and a fellow vegetarian. This doubles Maud’s veggie soul mates in southern Africa (will post Skobi’s portrait soon). When we’re in Joburg end of April we aim to have a veggie get together with Mo.
After the event at Harry’s (who by the way runs a B&B, so if you ever hit Kaapstad...) we skipped the big, meaning BIG, Indaba-party. The final get-together was at Joost’s, another Dutch designer who stepped out as partner from his office and escaped to Africa with his wife Emmy. Sorry, we don’t have a picture of the again beautiful property, food and wine, so we can only write it was another evening of hard, very hard work.
