Kameraad Mhambi’s been busy of late. Things are dire up here in the cold damp north. I’ve had to concentrate on my job. Jobs are suddenly rather precious.
Down south some of my old chommies are having a whale of a time. In South Africa you see, never mind how bad things get, or perhaps especially when things are bad – you party!
The Wedding DJ’s – that is Donald Swanepoel and Chopper Charlie has just played their first gig in Soweto. And it rukked!
Donald and Charles, from Boksburg and Vereeniging respectively, are also the co-founders of Watkykjy – the cult Afrikaans websaait.
And check out the fashion a la Soweto. Aitsa! Glad nie sleg nie. In fact it’s rather sharp.
