Overview

#Darling The small village of Darling is situated on the Cape West Coast, 75 km north of Cape Town. Darling’s claim to fame is that it is the hometown of South African satirist, Pieter Dirk Uys, better know as his alter ego, Evita Bezuidenhoudt. The village has a real small town feel to it and is a popular getaway for Capetonians.

During spring (August, September) Darling is a very popular place to visit, due to the abundance of wild flowers covering the fields surrounding the village. 'Evita se Perron' is a cabaret venue and restaurant with regular performances by Evita Bezuidenhout. It is housed in the old restored Darling station building. The name “Evita se Perron” is a play on words. (Perron is the Afrikaans for station platform.) Adjacent to 'Evita se Perron' is an arts and crafts market devoted to a grassroots project to address the problems of impoverished communities.

The farms in the Darling district produce wheat, grapes, peas, potatoes and wool (sheep farming). The village also boasts a textile factory, basket weaving and a clothing factory.
