• "The Elandskraal store sells general groceries and necessities as well as bartering and selling traditional and cultural crafts made by the Zulu who live in the area. The shop has an old mill where the locals grind their local harvest of maize in exchange for giving a part of the maize to the store which is then sold. The Elandskraal store is considerably smaller than it was when Heinz’s father Udo Dedekind owned it. It used to include a butchery, a food take away and a sewing room where many local women sat and sewed clothes to sell. Udo Dedekind died tragically in 1998 after being paralysed for a few months following a robbery in his store during which he was shot. Owing to this same sort of violence as well as numerous land claims, many German farmers, including most of the Dedekinds of Christoph’s descendants, have been dispersed to other places or have emigrated. Only two Dedekind families remain farming in Elandskraal today. Despite this, a German presence prevails in the valleys of Elandskraal maintained by the annual Elandskraal bazaar."
