📖 A Town Built on Love & Legacy

According to legend, Tweede Kans Cove was founded in the late 1800s when a Moroccan servant of the King, had an affair with a French colonial master’s daughter. Though they were of different backgrounds and religions, love prevailed. The lady ended up converting the man to Christianity. One day the king found out. It caused an uproar in the palace. But instead of killing the servant, the King banished him. The young woman followed her true love. They found a small land and built their family.

Their love gave birth to a town named Tweede Kans—Afrikaans for “Second Chance.”
