Having tried everything over the past eight years, Cedric & Nettie changed their focus to "Let's Try For Green".
First it was the decision to build their new home using the 'wattle & daub' method, in Limpopo the wattle is replaced with Mopani branches, and in the daub mixture they have used cow-dung, mud and grass.
As part of their tourism initiative they have provided their tourists with home-stay in the Villages, their own personal issues with the experience is the Pit Toilet. So having dug and completed their own pit toilet, including the thatch roof, they decided to experiment with a 'dry toilet'.
This 'dry toilet' has changed their lives and they hope it will change many more lives.

Cedric has seen the damage done to the South African issue very much as a black / white issue. He now sees the introduction of 'Let's Go For Green' to be an opportunity to bring the people of South Africa together.
Cedric still feels strongly about his convictions, so although this web site now focuses on the new green approach, no content of the site has been removed, only restructured.
