Doing the other thing I smaak doing at the last night.

On our way home from Cape Town, Lisa and I stopped at the Franschhoek Market and came across Konfyt Susters.

Now, I love jam, but I asked them a simple question: what's the most interesting flavour you've got?

They handed me a Blueberry & Vanilla and a Strawberry & Mint to taste.

Both were ridiculous.

The Blueberry & Vanilla is rich and smooth, and the Strawberry & Mint is something completely different to anything I've had before. We ended up trying a few more flavours and every one of them was excellent.

This isn't just jam for your morning toast. It works on hot bread with butter, but I can also see it going straight onto vanilla ice cream as a dessert.

Everything is handmade in small batches and you can taste it.

If you're into jam and want something a bit different, give Konfyt Susters a look. Apparently they deliver around South Africa, and after trying these, I can see why people keep coming back.

Really, really good stuff.

Update my boy… absolutely blown away.

We posted the video literally 5 minutes ago and the Minister’s spokesperson has already reached out and responded. Honestly didn’t expect such a fast response and we’re seriously grateful for the help.

For those asking — my wife Lisa’s British passport was stolen during a robbery while we were camping at Cape Columbine Nature Reserve on 1 May. We reported everything immediately to SAPS and cancelled the passport with the UK Passport Office the same day, but we hit a wall trying to sort out the visa renewal because Home Affairs needed a certified copy of the stolen passport.

Was starting to become a proper stress, ekse.

But things are finally moving and the process is officially underway. Super stoked and very thankful to everyone who shared, tagged and helped get this seen so quickly.

Lekker one my boys.

There are places in KZN that feel untouched by time…

Hidden deep beyond the highways and sugarcane fields where the tar ends, the dust rises, and the Umkomaas River cuts through ancient valleys like something out of a forgotten world.

Welcome to The Great Umkomaas River Run.

An overnight self-drive wild camping adventure hosted by Run Wild Adventures.

We leave from Umnini Ultra City at sunrise and head deep inland through some of the most scenic dirt tracks you’ve ever seen before descending into the mighty Umkomaas Valley to a hidden riverside campsite that will become home for the weekend.

River swims.
Campfires.
Good food.
Cold drinks.
Epic music.
No signal.
No rush.
Just good people in an extraordinary place.

These trips are designed for everybody — whether you drive a fully built overlander or a standard 2x4 bakkie. No fancy gear needed either. We supply all meals, so all you really need is a tent, sleeping bag, cooler box, and a sense of adventure.

But these trips are about more than just camping.

Every adventure works alongside local communities by creating small employment opportunities and giving back through donations to local schools, clinics, and crèches.

R3000 per vehicle (2 occupants)
R400 per additional person

Wild camps only.
No ablutions.
No electricity.
No excuses.

Come get dusty with us.
