Only in Grahamstown

Aloha ♥

You know, there are all sorts of weird and wonderful things which go down in this small town.
For many of us who comes to Rhodes University, we have never really had a full on meeting and experience with animals like cows, goats and donkeys. Alright, so of course we've all seen these animals before, I mean who has never been to a petting zoo or a farm or the 'Bunny Park' as we people from Benoni know all about?

But, the difference here is the fact that these animals walk freely around the town and even more weirdly, around the Rhodes University campus! Yes, you read right. These animals come down to the town from the informal settlement just outside of Grahamstown and seem to just chillax around the town for the day. I'm guessing they're bored and just want to head out on the town for a bit of fun, right? ;)

Anyway, so all you first years (and anyone else who plans on visiting lil' old Gtown), don't be too alarmed when you come across carts being pulled by donkeys, goats roaming through the town and cows walking on campus among the cars! (All first hand experiences, believe it or not...)

It's completely normal and expected. Welcome to Grahamstown.
