Rod has been a shareholder on Jejane for 30+ years. Firstly, as a partner in #26 and then, after many years of dreaming and planning, the house on #32 was built.

Rods children grew up visiting Jejane, the early days spent sleeping in tents. Now the lucky third generation from South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, are experiencing the magic of Jejane,

Rod spent most of his professional life in construction and marketing in the glass industry, a good portion of which was traveling and working internationally - finally settling back in RSA and establishing a successful merchandising operation into the large retail stores.

2005 saw Rod and his partner Jude take a sabbatical from their life and work in Australia to market and manage four luxury Game Lodges in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Rhino capture, to notch ears and microchip horns was a large part of the marketing venture, bringing awareness to the plight of the Rhino to both South African and overseas visitors.

Rod is now happily retired, spending his time with family, playing golf and trying to spend as much time as possible on his beloved Jejane.

Pierre and Jane Hugo built #19 with Pierre’s brother André in 2000 after spending many years with his parents (André & Lucille) at #7 which was built in the early days of Jejane.  Pierre’s love for the bush was nurtured in the Timbavati where his uncle (also Pierre) had farms.

Pierre is a vet and Jane a dietician. They farmed dairy cattle in the Magaliesburg for the early part of their marriage before the severe drought in 1984 “chased” them back to Hermanus where they had met and married 10 years earlier. Pierre practiced as a vet while Jane raised their three children, only to start farming abalone 7 years later which kept them both busy for the last 30 years.

Pierre retired about two years ago but has been kept busy with several interests including building site 39 on Jejane, wave energy, cosmology and his portfolio on the Jejane board.

The long-term goal of installing electronic perimeter intrusion detection systems for the southern farms of Balule has proven extremely challenging and obtaining donations to fund this endeavour through the BCAP trust remains a major learning curve to conquer.

Rob and his wife Helen have been with Vienna/ Jejane from the very beginning and were equal partners with Bob and Kim Harris at site 8 until the Harris’s sold out their share to in February 2015

Rob retired in 2012 from Pick n Pay and thereafter was busy with a few construction developments projects until 2014. The last 15 years with Pick n Pay Rob held the position of General Manager Operations and Divisional Director of Pick n Pay Retailers.

Rob and Helens son Warren, and daughter, Heidi, grew up spending many school and later Varsity holidays, on “the Farm”.
Warren lives in Ottawa, Canada, with his wife, son and daughter and although they have been out a few times to visit their real reason is to visit Jejane.

Heidi lives in SA with her husband, 2 sons and 2 daughters and takes every opportunity to visit Jejane. Being a schoolteacher, she has spent many weeks on the Farm.
