The life of a Matjies show 'n teller is not easy. Sometimes it's hard to stay focussed and to keep the magic alive through the long dreary months between Matjies weekends. But the time for wallowing in the dust and wandering, naked and aimless through the fields, is over! Put some clothes on for goodness sake! With just over 2 months to go, it's time to get excited.
