About 35 years ago we stayed close to the Parkview Golf course. I spent many happy afternoons collecting golf balls out of the Braamfonteinspruit to sell to my uncles who both played golf. We then moved to Parkhurst and I spent nearly every afternoon after school walking my dog next to the spruit and around the Delta park area. We used to explore the entire area and I remember on many occasions floating/swimming down the river for several kilometres and then climbing out at one of the bridges and walking home. I used to fish the spruit occasionally but I cannot remember what species of fish I caught. Does anyone know if you still get fish (if so what species) in the spruit or has it also been destroyed by pollution?
“Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you” ― Lemmy Kilmister
