Entertainer Nataniël has been involved in the DStv Franschhoek Bastille Festival for years. He tells us why the annual celebration is important.
I have been involved with the Bastille Festival in a quiet way for many years. My friend and mentor, Franschhoek chef Topsi Venter, had a restaurant called Topsi & Company and cooked there until she was 79. For years, I used to visit, eat, learn and even cook in her kitchen. Every year, there were extensive preparations for the Bastille Festival.
