The historic brass slave bell at Groot Constantia, South Africa’s oldest wine farm, has been stolen. In a statement, the wine estate, which dates back to 1685, appealed for help to recover the bell, which is 30 to 35cm in both height and width and weighs about 110kg. Groot Constantia did not immediately respond to a request for comment and no further information was available by time of publication. Picture: Groot Constantia
