Check this out…

Thirty years after Robert Kennedy visited South Africa in 1966, delivering his”Ripple of Hope” speech at UCT, his wife Ethel and other members of the family came back for another visit - and thereby hangs a tale.

An arguably under-reported feature of the visit of the young presidential hopeful - who, even as he toured South Africa in June 1966, was honing his campaign to reach the White House in the 1968 US elections.
The picture identified is Kennedy’s visit to Stellenboch University, at the the Simonsberg mens’ residence, known as “Die Withuis”, at Stellenbosch University.

On Friday 10 Feb 2023 the Hotel becomes host to 60 ex residents of Simonsberg mens residence also aptly named "Die Withuis".

It is with sad memories that we have to say goodbye to Mr Mhlobo Jadezweni who served as our "Inwonende Hoof" from 2006 - 2011. He fought cancer for a long time, which ended unsuccessfully. He will be dearly missed by the Simonsbergers who crossed his path.

Simon comes to the party...no surprises here

Ek wil hiermee ‘n groot dankbaarheid uitspreek oor die hoeveelheid manne wie hulle harte en beursies oopgemaak het die laaste 6 weke van my versoek om 2 Simonsbergers te help met ‘n bydrae vir hulle uitstaande studenterekening.

Uit die pen van Leslie van Rooi, Simon inwonende hoof...

Dis Desember op Stellenbosch en die vol weke van gradplegtighede is agter die rug. Die verkeer se ritme is anders en parkeerplek is nou minder van ‘n probleem.
