S
enwes was proud to again be the main sponsor of the
ever-growing Bultfontein Boertjiefees, held from 31
August to 1 September 2018. This year’s event, held at
the Bultfontein show grounds, was attended by 5000
people.
This year’s Boertjiefees marked the second annual event
since it reappeared on the agri-calender last year, following its
closure in previous years due to the crippling drought in the
region.
Event organiser and community leader in Bultfontein, Herman
Meiring, paid tribute to the sponsors: “Things are tough in the
platteland and producers are battling. Without your sponsorship
we would not be able to host this event and bring some much
needed celebration of agriculture to our communities.”
Senwes Equipment and Hinterland hosted stalls at the
Boertjiefees, featuring an array of John Deere and JCB machines,
as well as a selection of Hinterland products and services.
Visitors to the show were treated to all kinds of platteland
fun, including a live-stock exhibition, a 4x4 driving course, show
horses and the crème de la crème of Afrikaans pop music.
