Newtown Ballito is Born - It's the heartbeat of Ballito

Newtown Ballito is Born - It's the heartbeat of Ballito

Author: Kasia Yoko
Date: 2017-10-11

Local businessman and landowner, Gaetan Robert, disillusioned with the current world affairs, has been dreaming of a world filled with all inclusive communities that live off the financial grid, helping to grow each other's talents and resources by helping each individual realise their potential.

It has been a long and arduous journey for Gaetan, who has often been misunderstood by his peers, however last week Friday he presented the birth of his project on his property in Umhlali by launching the Newtown Ballito community initiative.

Together with like minded individuals Free Haine and Shomon Daniel, Gaetan is fulfilling a long time dream of creating a venue for free spirited artists, musicians, craftsmen and just about anyone who is looking for an alternative and free spirited way of life to join his colony of crusaders. There's talk of a music school, an artisan baker and creative inspiration for everyone.

Newtown Ballito is surrounded by sugarcane and lush indigenous vegetation. It is Gaetan's dream to see his property become a venue for music concerts, art exhibitions and cultural events and he plans to grow this all inclusive and non-denominational community of free spirits into a centre for joy, spiritual development and creative inspiration.

So as part of the official launch you are invited to join Gaetan, Free and Shomon for a live performance by guitarist genius Nibs van Der Spuy and Amber Rumbarth on the 21 October.

There will be an all day market selling arts and crafts and delicious organic food and drinks. The venue is family friendly and R120 gets you a front row seat, if you arrive early.

For more information call Shomon on 074 130 8542 or Free on 082 758 1411. See you there!
