Country roads

Dürr Bezuidenhout and Claire Bennette, of Paarl, started an online job advertising site that specialises in the platteland! Country Roads started last year in the Cape winelands. Today they have clients such as the University of Stellenbosch, Cape Agri, Pioneer Foods and Medi-Clinic. Claire, originally from Namibia, has been running a recruitment agency in Paarl for four years. She met Dürr, an accountant originally from Pretoria, at a business meeting. The platteland (country-side / rural) is drawing stressed-out city slickers looking for a better balance between work and home.
