Stop over here

Next time you’re heading to Durban via the N3, stop at Die Padstal in Mpumalanga (near Villiers in the Free State). Platteland found everything but the kitchen sink here: all sorts of lovely things for the home, delicious biltong, canned products (including Ina Lessing’s jars with their gold labels), pastries, bubble-bath products, sweets… Bernadine Burger is one of the friendly women who take turns behind the cash register.
