1980s
In 1982, Hauptfleisch van der Merwe was the initiator of the first high school that was built in the Koue Bokkeveld. The Skurweberg Secondary School began with 300 learners and currently has more than 1 500 learners and a hostel.
In 1985 the first community developer was appointed together with 12 other farms, chaired by Hauptfleisch van der Merwe. In 1986, Bronaar entered its rugby, soccer and netball teams into the local league – sport is an important part of our community’s recreation and leisure.
