Sir David Graaffs unique South African story begins as a poor child in Villiersdorp, watching over sheep and pigs. Like a fairytale, he was helped by a well-off friend of the family and taken to Cape Town to work at the mans butchery. Within a few years, David was not only in charge of the butchery, but was the first person to use refrigerated storage facilities for meat in South Africa. This led to the building of a business empire that made him a millionaire. He went on to have a colourful life and played a role in many South African milestones. He helped create Roggebaai by filling in the harbour with construction rubble, he entered politics to become mayor of Cape Town and brought streetlights to the town, expanded his business empire by providing meat to the British during the Anglo-Boer War and bought the wine farm De Grendel.

Hardback. English. Tafleberg. 2001. Good Condition.
