InterExcel has decided to cease all IBurst sales and therefore IBurst will no longer be part of our product range. The laborious process to activate this product for clients has all too often left InterExcel with egg on the face. In future clients will be referred directly to IBurst.

What a Year-Begin function!! D-DAY arrived on the 19th of February, and it was with much enthusiasm that we descended on the hapless folks at Farm Inn, east of Pretoria. Verily we at Interexcel have very high standards when it comes to our social activities and the people at Farm Inn did not disappoint. Having our good spirit greatly elevated by the presentation of “Employee of the year†medals, we feasted like the medieval knights of old, only with less torturing of chamber maids and beating of jesters, enjoying a hearty selection of meats, chicken and other treats. The game-drive lived up to the hype as well, the temptation to cuddle a baby leopard being too much for some to resist.
Frikkie, the white lion, had his eyes set squarely on the flirty Lioness in the adjacent camp, and not even the offer of throwing one of our junior techs into his enclosure enticed anything more than a lazy lifting of eyebrows on his part. Game-drive done, we settled for a few final drinks and tall stories as the perfect end to a wonderful day.
Here's to next year!

Here at Interexcel we thrive on doing things differently! Instead of having a Year-End function we decided to have a Year-Beginning function. The function will start 11h00 on 19/02/2010 which will be held at The Farm Inn. Personnel from Interexcel, SABest, ULS and Interexcel Training Academy will enjoy a well-deserved break-away!

Marius Venter and Trevor Keith from Kwalata Lodge made a very WET three day trip through the Southern Free State.
They stayed over in Jacobsdal's Wynland Gastehuis. Sally and Naas's place is not to be missed!
The following evening in Smithfield and they stayed over in Carmel Rickard's Trading Place. What a gem of a place (and her partner Gus and dogs!)!
And please, do not miss a meal in Henk and Linette's place! She made a meal a la perfect in conditions without electricity and in a severe storm!
Our half a bottle of wine is still waiting for us there!
