In the small town of Aberdeen we have the well known t.v. actor Deon Stewardson living quietly in our midst. Deon has bought and is restoring the so called "spookhuis" (ghost house) in Voortrekker Street to its original form, of yellow wood and oregon pine window frames and doors, and cobbled floors. The "spookhuis" is one of the oldest buildings in Aberdeen, being built as part stables and part "slave quarters" for the original Homestead.
Deon has also purchased land in Aberdeen on which he plans to build the replica of an original stone Karroo farm house.
Deon is currently filming the next production in the series "Wild at Heart" in Hoedspruit and around the Hartebeestpoort Dam area just outside Johannesburg, together with British actors Steven Tomkinson, Amanda Holden and Haley Mills. This production is in it's fourth series, and is shown on the Hallmark Channel.
Deon's father, Joe Stewardson was a well known and respected South African actor. Deon's brother Matthew Stewardson is currently directing "The Rocky Horror Show" at the Barnyard Theatre in Johannesburg.
When Deon returns to Aberdeen in December after six months of filming, he plans to carry on with the restoration.
