Who builds with thatch in Vereeniging
Vereeniging's thatch follows its rivers. Three Rivers, where the Klip River and the Rietspruit meet the Vaal, has riverside homes with thatched lapas and boathouses, and upstream the stretch toward the Vaal Dam is lined with holiday houses, resorts and wedding venues under thatch. North of town, Henley on Klip and Walkerville are horse and smallholding country, with thatched homes, stables and lapas on bigger plots. Peacehaven and Arcon Park are settled suburbs with family braai lapas. In winter the grass on the plots dries out and veld fires become a real risk, while summer brings storms over open ground. Thatchers here often serve the whole Vaal.
