Farewell Oom Riaan

Gee wow, this is such a sad day for me, South Africa and Afrikaans News!

I only met you twice and each time you were as always the perfect gentleman! I was working at a computer company Compute, that helped you out with your laptop computer every now and then.

My Ouma Drien was the greatest fan of yours, she use to say you made her knees go weak! With your elegant speech and way for presenting the news.

We were also very privileged to have a personal "Haas Das news bulletin" at our office for 10 minutes.

Thank you for our memories...

Farewell Oom Riaan!
