Last Thursday night I found myself at the Menlyn shopping centre for the premiere of Platteland, the Movie.

My expectations were high, seeing that the sexy male lead is my favourite singer. I also love the platteland and was curious to see if the producer could capture the heart and people of the countryside.

You see, my second home is a small harbour village called Gansbaai. I love the food and lifestyle and people of the wonderful Overberg district.

And there I was on Friday night at a Prestige award evening in Johannesburg. It was a hot summer evening with the first summer rain brewing outside. I was sitting in the darkened auditorium listening to the gifted Colette playing the first movement of Mozart’s violin concerto with an angelic smile. She played the violin concerto and received a standing ovation. What a privilege for me to witness this young girl receiving a bursary in music. What a great company to give money for such a gifted musician and to see the importance of leading our youth to achieve in the arts. I was thinking about my own young lap dancers at the club and how gifted they are in their own unique way. And yes lap dancing is an art. Just ask the guy with the glossy eyes making his way to the bar after a dance.” A higher form of art “, they have assured me many a times.
