Lekker Free State

30/09/2024

Here is a very lekker video to watch if you have time! I decided to update Episode 1 of "What makes the Eastern Free State lekker?", because a few places have changed in the two years since I made the first episode. We feature Senekal, Paul Roux, Marquard, Clocolan, Ficksburg, Rosendal and their districts in this 50 minute episode. The episode is made in three parts, because it's slightly longer. I feature some spectacular places, so have fun, please Subscribe to our YouTube channel, Lekker Free State page and please share. The next new episode will feature Clarens/Fouriesburg and district again.
