Grassy Park Community: End of the Heritage Shop Era and how does this reflect Community SpiritMr. Jeetesh Nathoo and the Heritage Shop Legacy he held in Grassy Park brings to a close the chapter of the ‘Lekkers Vannie Change’ era which began at this old shop by the Quetin Family who originally owned it. This shop has passed hands – and new owners have already moved in and ‘diversified’ the store – November 2020.Local families – as customers remember buying goods on the ‘bookie’, products delivered by bicycle and the shop owners knowing the entire family unit by name. Jeetesh finds himself dolely at the end of a 41 year Legacy and Community Heritage which began with his father after the Quetin Families decades-long stint in this shop which began in the 1940`s. Here local kids remember drooling over the latest Spin Tops, Yo-Yo’s and BMX accessories besides the ‘Naame Lekkers’, ‘Sagte Wilson Bloks’ and ‘Granid`ella Sukkas’ among many other treats and novelties which enthralled us. The story of this shop and other local spaces like it reminds us of our sense of community and rootednessThese original, period specific, heritage shops are the last vestiges of our bygone Slow Living customs and traditions which underpinned our local Community Spirit. ‘Nathoos Shop’ being one of the remaining very few. Gone too soonWe wish Jeetesh and his family Good Speed on their future endeavors and Thank You for holding heritage spacegrassy park, cape town, south africa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
