Hoekwil is a town in the Garden Route district in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
At the end of the nineteenth century many of the Afrikaans people in South Africa really suffered. Due to several reasons they were caught in the grip of poverty and isolation. Subsistence farming, fishing in the lakes area and the harvesting of the indigenous wood were their main sources of income.
It was during that time (1912-1923), that ds. Jan Andries Beyers actively took the lead to change and improve the lives of these people. He established a church settlement at Olifantshoek/Hoekwil where about 25 families were accommodated. He was the founder of Hoekwil.
Throughout the years there has been a lot of development and now, 100 years later, the little village of Hoekwil is significantly different.
Although the younger generation leaves the area in search of wider horizons, they often come back to the place with the shiny serpentine winds through the valley – the reason, being in Hoekwil . . .
• We live in beautiful surroundings – which other people just dream of
• Air pollution is not an integral part of our existence
• Man and nature can live together in harmony
• Silence is your preference – that is, if you can keep the frogs quiet
• Your neighbours are also your friends
• The stars are so close that you want to touch them
The actual beauty of Hoekwil lies in the caring hearts of it’s people – yesterday and today!
