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
Elizabeths suburb of Lovemore Heights) and subsequent purchases of land,
were given to her three brothers. Mount Melsetter, between Middelburg and
Steynsburg, still belongs to Candys eldest brother, David. The large Karoo
farm was once a working sheep farm.
