I am proud to announce that Battlewalks has been nominated for the Prestige Awards which is an international organisation that celebrate the businesses and individuals that consistently offer excellent products and services to local residents, ex-pats and tourist visitors alike.

The awards team conduct extensive research to identify the major cities and regions around the world with a vibrant SME community and independent scene. They believe that SME businesses are the backbone of any economy, whilst also typically reflecting the unique characteristics of its particular city or region. "Small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large organisations.”
The judging panel base their decisions upon areas such as service excellence, quality of the product/service provided, innovative practices, value, ethical or sustainable methods of working, as well as consistency in performance.

Winters Coming ! But don't worry not the White Walkers. Winter in South Africa is the best time to explore the battlefields. The long veldt grass surrenders the hidden remains of sangers, trenches and artefacts still lying around. Explore the remains and discover your own history.
