One day in the 1970s, in the Western Cape province of South Africa, I decided to open a farm stand on Cape Route 62 to sell my fruits and vegetables. To announce my farm stand to the passerby, I painted “Ronnie’s Shop” in red paint on the white facade of the roadside cottage.
But as a practical joke, a few of my friends bought some red paint and renamed the cottage “Ronnie’s Sex Shop.” I decided to keep the new name and instead of running yet another roadside farm stall, I turned my business into a pub and restaurant and it is today one of the best-known destination pubs in the land.
It is one of the most popular watering hole for motorcyclists, day-trippers, internationals and the odd thirsty local, you can meet people from all walks of life here.
