They had two children Sean and Brian and were divorced many years ago. She later remarried Marais Neethling also a grapefarmer in the area. The family pretty much fragmented after this. I used to spend time there during school holidays picking grapes and assembling micro sprinklers and many other chores. He was a great business man indeed who inspired me. He also divorced later. I have fond memories of him and this superb venue.
