Christmas Spirit Glows at Hazyview’s Carols by Candlelight Gathering
There’s something truly special about a community coming together at this time of year, and that feeling was clearly on display at the annual Carols by Candlelight event held at the Numbi Hotel in Hazyview. On Friday evening, December 12, the grounds were filled with people arriving in good spirits, ready to slow down, sing along, and soak up the meaning of the festive season. It wasn’t just an event on the calendar; it felt more like a shared pause from the rush of everyday life.
The evening was marked by live music, warm candlelight, and a strong sense of faith and fellowship. According to organiser Christel Matthee, the event has always been seen as a labour of love. Hosted by the Numbi Hotel as a family business, it was described as a gift to the local community, offered each year when weather allows. The intention, it was explained, is to create space for people to reconnect with what truly matters during Christmas.

Family values were said to be at the heart of the gathering. The night was arranged specifically for the Hazyview community, with the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ taking centre stage. In a world that often feels hurried and noisy, moments like these were described as precious, where quality time with family, friends, and neighbours can still be shared without distraction.
The event was blessed with perfect weather, which allowed everyone to fully enjoy the outdoor setting. Highlights of the night included performances by well-known local musicians such as Willie Nel, along with Joe and Jackie Erasmus. Their performance was so engaging that the audience was soon singing along, turning the concert into a shared experience rather than just a performance to watch.
Adding to the festive mood, local chefs prepared a variety of delicious food, making sure the evening was as enjoyable for the palate as it was for the ears. The gathering attracted a diverse crowd, bringing together Hazyview locals and visitors from surrounding areas, all drawn by the welcoming atmosphere and the renowned hospitality of the Numbi Hotel.
Through music, fellowship, and faith, care, friendship, and hope were shared openly. In many ways, the evening reflected the true meaning of Christmas, not through grand displays, but through simple togetherness, warm voices raised in song, and a community united by candlelight.
