Bloemfontein: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Bloemfontein sits in the middle of the Free State, the country's grassland heart, and the province's grassland farms are one of the country's main sources of thatching grass. That makes it a natural base for thatchers and grass suppliers. In Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and the newer suburbs, garden lapas and thatched entertainment areas are common, and the smallholdings of Bainsvlei have lapas, cottages and venues. Farms across the province ask for lapas and rondavels for guests and workers. Summer brings sharp Highveld thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and winters are cold and dry, with frost and grass fires. Crews from here travel widely across the Free State and into the Northern Cape.
