Note : The Estate of the late Mrs Nedra Jooste21.04.1940 – 12.12.2022 An overriding interest of the late Mrs Nedra Jooste was travel, and together with her husband, Jannie Jooste, they travelled extensively both for business and pleasure. She was fascinated by beautiful places, architecture, art and collectables, and this permeated every aspect of her life. She also had a passion for creating beautiful homes and gardens, and entertaining friends and family. Upon meeting the petite and stylish Nedra, one would not immediately have guessed that throughout her life she was heavily involved in her and her husband’s considerable business interests, predominantly transportation and farming. She met her Namibian-born husband in Cape Town and after they were married they settled in Namibia, first in Windhoek and later in Grootfontein where they lived and worked for more than 20 years, and where their two sons were born. Over the years they hankered after the Western Cape and at the end of 1982 they moved to the Somerset West wine farm Villa Cordoba nestling at the foot of the magnificent Helderberg mountains with breathtaking views of the Cape Peninsula. Not long after, in 1983 they acquired the adjoining farm Voet van Helderberg, later renamed Cordoba in keeping with the brand name of their wine. After her husband passed away in 2008 she continued to run their business enterprises and to pursue her many interests.
