CTARC Mills On The Air - May '21

The CTARC was planning to activate Mills On The Air at Mostert's Mill in Mowbray. Sadly, the mill was burned down in the recent devastating fire that affected UCT Upper and Middle Campus, as well as the mountainside skirting around Devils Peak, from Newlands right across to Walmer Estate in the City Bowl.

However, the non-profit organisation, Friends Of Mostert's Mill is even at this early stage planning to get the mill restored to working condition. They plan to initially repair the outward appearance of the mill, and then to replace the internal wooden machinery to working order again. So CTARC's participation in Mills On The Air is (understandably) postponed, but not cancelled!

Friends of Mostert's Mill are looking for donations to achieve this goal. You can either renew annual membership (at R50-00 per annum) and/or make donations to their bank account.

Donors are kindly requested to deposit their contributions by EFT or other means into the following bank account:

Bank: Standard Bank
Branch Code: 051 001 (all branches)
