The original Stellenbosch town was totally destroyed by a fire in the 1870's or 80s and they had to build the entire town again from scratch.

Fires and Floods, one wonders if Mother Nature is not trying to tell us something.
Earth quake of 1969 did damage in Tulbagh and Stellenbosch, I remember this due to close family friends daughter studying at the university at the time.
Nature is never fully settled, anything can happen.
Oops! This one slipped through, plus 2 from another guy.
Yes, mother nature is definitely warning us for the past few years, but we walk around blindfolded with lead in our ears.
Now that you mention it, I do remember that earthquake and that earthquake was quite something in the news.
We just don't realise how dependent we are on nature my friend.
Nature does not ask, if looked after will reward, when raped will rebel!
I could not have said this better if I tried Lady Joan.
An angry nature should never be in mankind's interests, but the money god reigns.
