A few clubs "close" to you:

Rietfontain (They are full though, and you have to be old to fly there :D :D ) - Muldersdrift area
Lasertronics (Think they might have a spot, not sure) - Next to N14
Aeroden (Harties - They definately have a spot)
Aviators Paradise (Harties - They have a spot if you can prove that hot chicks flock to your airfield with you like the swallows of Capistrano :D )

Your best bet is Aeroden - Definate hangerage with nice facilities - Give Charlie Whiskey a shout

the swallows of Capistrano
I haven't seen or heard reference to this strange tale in many, many moons.

Also didn't have the foggiest:

The famous cliff swallows of San Juan Capistrano, that leave town every year in a swirling mass near the Day of San Juan (October 23), are returning from their winter vacation spot 6,000 miles south in Goya, Corrientes, Argentina.

They land at the mission in San Juan, California, on or around St. Joseph's Day, March 19, to the ringing bells of the old church and a crowd of visitors from all over the world who are in town awaiting their arrival and celebrating with a huge fiesta as well as a parade.

Seeking Solace in the Mission

Legend has it that the swallows took refuge in the Mission San Juan Capistrano from an irate innkeeper who destroyed their muddy nests. The swallows return to the old ruined church each spring knowing they will be protected within the mission's walls. In fact, the city has taken their safety seriously passing an ordinance against destroying their nests.

So-called "scout swallows" precede the main flock each year by a few days but the majority of the small birds usually arrives on the 19th and begins rebuilding the mud nests that cling to the ruins of the old stone church and throughout the Capistrano Valley.
