Village life is although very peaceful also very active and there are annual potjiekos competitions, garden walks and other community events on the go during the year. During first half of 2004 various sinkholes appeared, as a result of too much groundwater being pumped out by vegetable farmers in the area. Found in the area are approximated 19 sinkholes.
