This story begins with a Dachshund and evolves to the memorable day two city slickers bought a house on a 1-acre plot in the Swartland – in a town they’d never heard of.
Stephen Benade says that when his mom died in 2018 and he ‘inherited’ her Dachshund, an eighth-floor apartment in Sea Point was no longer viable.
