Welcome to Die Mas Boerdery! Die Mas is directly translated as being the mast of a ship giving it the driving force to go forward and conquer...Also “mas” plays tongue in the cheek with the word ‘Kakamas. Therefore Die Mas van Kakamas and its three-mast ship symbol represent Vlok and his family who run the estate and strive to become a mast or positive driving force in the community they are serving. In English the word boerdery means farm or place where farming takes place. In our case the main focus is on export table grapes. The farm is situated 3km outside the town of Kakamas directly on the bank of the Orange River in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. This area is very well known and suited for growing grapes, in particular table grapes. Reason for this being the early time of ripening for export grapes from this area. The farm has also recently expanded ventures into tourist accommodation and the production of their own wine.
