Agri ’ s got Talent 2018 announces Top 10 and Tru-Cape ’ s Ceres grower is among them

Brian Berkman

When people think about Eselfontein in Ceres they think apple , pear , peach , dairy and upcoming cherry farming as well as eco-tourism and one of the pioneers in MTB trails in SA with an annual three-day MTB Festival in October . They don ’ t often think about theatrical talent and even less likely about the region ’ s rising star and his celebrated cross-dressing act . Bredwyn van Wyk is often seen in the home of growers Deon and Janene Malherbe . “ Bredwyn has been with us for three years and was originally employed as our gardener , now he is much more and is responsible for the Eselfontein “ impression we stand for ”, the Eco Tourism , our kids , our pets , our home , and everything else that comes with it .

“ He is the son of our housekeeper Anna ( who is second Mom to our children ) and we are so impressed with this strength and the commitment he shows after all his personal struggles . So , the news now that his drag act has placed him in the top 10 of the Agri ’ s Got Talent competition , is music to our ears .” she says . Deon Malherbe agrees : “ We are very proud of Bredwyn and his work and advancement at Eselfontein . From an early age his great passion has been art and culture . On weekends he uses his talent as an entertainer to raise extra income . His drag character Britta Houston Cater , keeps people on the edge of their seats . He gave a ‘ Pricilla , Queen of the Desert ’, performance at one of the Ceres Karoo Motorbike events in which we participated , and the crowds really enjoyed his performance . We heartily recommend that he follows a full-time career as a performer
