Former Port Elizabeth couple Mike and Candy FERRAR live in the Karoo.
Mike was an attorney and Candy was an industrial nurse, but now they run a
guest farm and hunting safari operation.

For Candy, the move was a return to the farm of her birth - Mount
Melsetter. Her father, Richard SOUTHEY, acquired the farm after the war,
from the estate of C.B. LOVEMORE (there's a Melsetter Road in Port
Elizabeth’s suburb of Lovemore Heights) ­ and subsequent purchases of land,
were given to her three brothers. Mount Melsetter, between Middelburg and
Steynsburg, still belongs to Candy’s eldest brother, David. The large Karoo
farm was once a working sheep farm.
