Our team

Jolanie is a dedicated wife and a proud mom to a spirited teenage son. She manages Blue Olive, a charming coffee shop nestled in the heart of the Klein Karoo. As the founding partner of Just in Case, Jolanie's inspiration stemmed from her personal journey of supporting her mom during chemotherapy sessions. With a vision to provide comfort and care during life's unpredictable moments, she created thoughtful care bags that embody compassion and practicality. Just in Case was born to make those "just in case" moments a little easier to navigate.

Esme Brink is a strategic thinker, creative visionary, and entrepreneur who joined Jolanie in the Just in Case business shortly after its launch. A busy mom of three and foster mom to two, Esme’s ability to juggle multiple roles is a testament to her passion and dedication. She owns a digital marketing agency and plays a key role in overseeing marketing, branding, and everything in between at Just in Case.
