Bekkersdal - Bachelors & Blunders

Muller's Oom Schalk was wry, softly spoken, and empathetic, with a pause here and a puff at his pipe there. Seated most of the time on his bench, with just a few sips of peach brandy, dressed simply in his khakis, braces, veldskoens and felt hat, pipe in mouth, he told delightful tales which Bosman made so much his own, clearly describing unique personalities of the area of Groot Marico and environs.

Please note: The show is in English. As Bosman himself explained, he wrote Afrikaans in English capturing the rhythms and soul of the Afrikaans language but in English so that he could reach a bigger audience.
