I can’t believe that this man has been on TV for years and has not even aged.

Superwagen, Haha. Yeah what a genuine dude, I admire his professionalism. And he’s spent over half of his life at the SABC..! that either shows real devotion or stupidity, I’m not sure which. ;)

I must say, after watching that documentary, my perception of Riaan has changed forever – he’s actually a flippin’ awesome oke. Loved the part of the film where he can’t contain his laughter.

In the footage from his younger years, he reminds me of Clark Kent.

That was well worth watching but I wouldn’t call it enjoyable. The Soweto footage was hard to watch. I’ve never seen it before and yet I grew up in SA. I was also 10 years old and completely oblivious. Riaan must have deeper turmoil than he gives away, as do most of us from SA.

Thanks for the link Coda, I appreciate it.

aaaw, I really enjoyed that! I remember that Nelson Mandela footage so clearly. I remember thinking, “what’s the big deal?” Shows how little the media shared with us in those days… plus i was only 10 years old!
