If you live in Suurbraak or its environs and need a fence constructed or repaired, a chicken hok rooikat or otter-proofed, bollards constructed or your lawn mowed, then Japie Presence is your man.
Japie, whose real name is Jacob (or Jakob in Afrikaans) is a man of many talents. Consequently he has been a boon to me. For instance it was he who noticed that the metal chimney to my Dover stove was rusted and needing replacing. He did a MacGyver and it not only no longer leaks but pulls far better than it did.
On request Jakob also arrives with his weed eater and will do an excellent job mowing your lawn.
He’ll also tends to the garden, rakes leaves and will prune your fruit trees.
For big jobs he’ll quote, but also has a daily rate. If his quotation isn’t to your liking please engage with him as he is open to discussing his and your needs to ensure that neither is short-changed.
If you need to contact him leave a note below and I’ll get back to you with his mobile number.
Hi Hendrik I am seriously considering buying land to live off grid “oor die rivier” in Suurbraak and am trying to find out as much as I can about the water situation and just about living in Suurbraak in general. I did see that Matthew put his home up for sale and I am presuming that it sold? Could you perhaps tell me why he sold his place? if the reason(s) is/are private I fully understand. Thank you for all the interesting articles!! Kind regards Michela
