This is Maeder’s choice of logo sign for his Soundings the Rurals. The Toverview design was done with the late Peter and Annetta Westoby of Colesberg. Maeder says ‘The Westoby’s – like most of us, were immigrants into these areas. – They spoke with proud ‘working class’ northern England accents. Peter’s family were in business. Annetta’s family were gypsies on her mother’s side. The outgoing municipality contracted them to design the prominent entrance gateways to Colesberg. At the time it was clear this would be for the incoming democratic local governments. The entrances were the first gateways to the new South Africa (Designed by Peter, when he was a Johannesburg card-carrying ANC member before the movement was unbanned by FW de Klerk.)  The Westoby’s made many friends in all parts of the town. They brought to the Colesberg district their talents from work in West Africa in the settlements of Nigeria and Ghana as advertisers and designers, then in Johannesburg as advertisers, designers and photographers, before moving to Colesberg for health reasons. Here they collected and made artworks, jewellery and repairs for many people. They were a core unit of the community news journal Toverberg Indaba 1990-1997 and helped train numbers of local folk. 

 Peter said: When I die just sweep me out of the door into the street.  A small handful of local folk buried the couple alongside one another in the new local cemetery, where a farm worker fashioned them a modest memorial. Their valuable artworks are somewhere in the world.
