LUTOUW

Two commercial farmers Truter Lutz and his partner, Jan Louw, made use of the then newly promulgated National Water Act of 1998 to launch a vineyard, Lutow Estate (Pty) Ltd in the Lutzville region of the Western Cape which was to become the most north westerly commercial vineyards in South Africa. The partners had identified an untapped water resource and Sharon Götte spoke to them about how they used the National Water Act to their benefit in one of the first BEE initiatives of late 1990s.
