In 1948 a gentleman by the name of Moos Adams bought a piece of land between Paarl and Franschhoek – little did he know, 75 years later, his granddaughter would be fighting local government in order to preserve their family’s land.

Lester Kiewit speaks to Megan-Leigh Adams about her family’s fight to preserve a piece of their heritage.
