Introducing our new GOOD NEWS KAROO Speaker Programme
We are incredibly excited to introduce a new addition to the Karoo Winter Wool Festival line-up — GOOD NEWS KAROO!

With so much happening in our daily lives, we often forget to pause and look for the good around us — the stories that inspire hope, connection and possibility. In the Karoo, we do not have to look far. Good stories surround us: stories of people doing meaningful work, communities supporting one another, and inspiring individuals whose journeys leave us uplifted and encouraged. That is what this speaker programme is all about — finding the good and drawing inspiration from the people around us.

Ons is verheug om Dr Johan van Rooyen as ons openingspreker te verwelkom. Hy gaan die verhaal deel van die Molteno- en Sterkstroom-opkomende boereprojek en hoe hierdie gemeenskappe saam besig is om die mite van “the tragedy of the commons” te weerlê.

Professor Bruce Rubidge gaan die opwindende werk bespreek wat in Graaff-Reinet by die Karoo Origins Fossielmuseum plaasvind, en stories ontgin wat so oud soos tyd self is.

Daarna volg ’n inspirerende groep Karoo-vroue wat hul eie goeie nuus stories gaan deel en gesels oor wat die Karoo-vrou so besonders maak — veerkragtig, vindingryk en werklik uniek.

This speaker programme is filled with local flavour, inspiring stories and meaningful conversations — a highlight not to be missed!

Date: 4 July 2026
Time: 10:00 – 13:00
Venue: BKB Speaker Tent

Tickets available on Quicket
Entrance to the GOOD NEWS KAROO Speaker Programme is included in the festival entrance ticket.
