Eben Dӧnges Primary School visited Arendsnes from 11-13 November for a Leadership development camp. They enjoyed activities like archery; stalking the lantern, target shooting, raft building and many more. They also got to know each other a lot better with more personal teachings like knowing themselves (finding out what their strong points and weaknesses are), learning how to communicate, handling conflict and the part they enjoyed the most, the problem solving course. On Saturday the team was exhausted. So we decided to have a little fun by competing in a play station sing star competition. It was a huge pleasure to be accompanied by Mr. Johan van Niekerk and Misses Thea Kruger who had a watchful eye over this team of leaders. It’s awesome to see that the teachers have such a good relationship with their pupils. I think what the kids loved the most was the fact that the teachers actually participated in the obstacle courses. My God bless and guide you this year and we can’t wait to see you guys next time!!
Our Name
ARENDSNES is situated close to the Crocodile River and the Roodekopjès dam where there are a number of fish species. These fish species are a great attraction to a variety of bird life. One of these beautiful birds is the African Fish Eagle that can be heard from Arendnes when they are on one of their majestical flights.

Bojanala Municipality’s Eco Camp 2011 At Arendsnes
With more than 300 people attending the annual Eco Camp, organized by the Bojanala Platinum District Municipality, this past weekend was a bee hive of activity. The group arrived on Friday afternoon and started settling in. Everyone was welcomed to Arendsnes with a big bon fire before having supper. On Saturday it was an early start to the day, when they explored the bushveld, learning everything about plants and animals. After breakfast it was down to more serious discussions when the MEC spoke about environmental affairs. The group broke up into smaller groups, getting lectures on waste management, Environmental legislation, Environmental health, Biodiversity conservation, Indigenous knowledge systems and Climate change. Sunday was more relaxed and everyone said their goodbyes and declared the Eco Camp 2011 a big success! We at Arendsnes are very proud to contribute to conservation and the environment by hosting Bojanala and helping them with their important mission to teach our youth.
Arendsnes Host The Boeremusiekgilde
On the 4th of June Arendsnes hosted the Brits branch of the Boeremusiekgilde from North-West. It was a festive atmosphere that started on Friday the 3rd when people avoid the traffic by staying overnight in our chalets and newly developed caravan park. Braai fires lit up the camp and the smell of freshly braaied steaks swerved over the beautiful bushveld. On Saturday it was the musicians turn to play music from early in the morning. During the day food and refreshment stands catered for all tastes while the goods stands catered for the shopaholics with paintings, clothes and more. The weekend ended on a high note during the dance that started at seven. Chairman Jaco Eckard said “This weekend was a huge success people must keep the date in mind for next year. It will definitely be bigger and better”
