Rage is a blast, says raging Ragers

Halfway through the annual Plett Rage, youngsters have dubbed the student festival a resounding success so far. During a snap survey by Yolande Stander, school leavers rated the entertainment and the Plett atmosphere at the top of their list of positives.

Aby Swanepoel (18), Pretoria:

“We are having the time of our lives. Organisers have really made sure that the entertainment is top notch. The Plett community has also made us feel safe.”

Janke Maree (18), Bergsig:

“While we are having a wonderful time and feel quite safe, it is quite an expensive trip. Other than that, the vibe is great and so is the entertainment.”

Cara van der Walt (18), Pretoria:

“Everything has been wonderful so far. We’ve had a bit of an issue with the nighttime transport to the main venue. We are not supposed to pay for transport on official vehicles, yet some drivers are taking chances and demanding money. Other than that, we are having a ball.”

Lawrence Borthwick (18), Cape Town:

“The festival is off the hook! I cannot put in words how wonderful the experience has been so far.”

Divan van der Westhuizen (18), Cape Town:

“I’m having the best time. The music is fantastic and the event is very well organised. We can’t wait to visit Plett again.”

Nadia Zondie (18), Cape Town:

“The best part of Plett Rage is spending time with great friends and enjoying our newly acquired freedom.”

Erin Erasmus (18), Cape Town:

“Plett Rage is fantastic and the entertainment is much better than anything we can get in Cape Town. It really is an amazing experience. It does cost quite a bit to enjoy this week in Plett, though.”

Nienke Geldenhuys (18), Cape Town:

“Plett Rage is truly a wonderful experience, not only from an entertainment perspective but also in terms of taking our first steps to independence. We have to look after ourselves for a week and make sure we spend our money wisely. It is somewhat of a challenge, but still a wonderful experience.”
