We are extremely overwhelmed by being flooded with literally 100's of amazing comments/messages on UA-cam, Instagram and TikTok.
Thank you to each and everyone who is taking the time to watch our videos. We appreciate every single view, more than what you know.
Never did I think that this would be possible.
Our video about the night time rescues is dropping tomorrow (15 July 2024), don't miss that one 😁
Much love,
The entire crew ❤
You both are a shining example of what humanity can aspire to be. Your actions serve as a testament to the power of kindness and the impact it can have on individuals and communities. It is heartwarming to witness individuals like you who go above and beyond to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
On behalf of all those who benefited from your assistance, I want to express my sincerest gratitude. We are truly thankful for your presence and the help you provided. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.
May the Almighty bless you abundantly for your selfless acts of kindness. Thank you once again for being the heroes that our world needs.
We are sitting here, busy editing the next video and we've been replying to all the comments as they come in. Let me tell you, wow! We are honestly speechless about your comment. We didn't expect this amount of positivity or even that people would really watch the video (because it is so long), but we are super grateful.
For us it was just something that we wanted to do to help people in need and to see the amount of snow ourselves. Never expected it to turn out like this.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and leaving this comment 😁
Every rescue warmed our hearts; excellent work; keep it up.
Be safe
Thank you so much for the kind words 😁
Gents wow. All I can say is well done on helping absolutely everyone you came across. I think we are so uneducated when it comes to snow but you guys came prepared. I was patiently waiting for this full video to drop after I saw the snippet on Tik Tok. Cant wait for part 2. Keep up the good work and God bless you guys
Wow, thank you so much for the awesome comment. It's really appreciated. Really glad you enjoyed the video. I'm sure you'll enjoy Part 2 as well.
God bless you my gentleman. I have been observing that van with church members stuck in the snow. At last I see their rescue. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏 I am glad you enjoyed the video and their rescue. They were extremely happy to get off that mountain and out of the cold. Thank you for watching our video 🤗
Just when they needed their god as usual he didn’t arrive, thank goodness for real genuine kind people in flesh and blood to the rescue.
We were just at the right time, at the right place. Luckily 😁
This video should make you a believer then because he sent these heroes to assist them and we have all got to enjoy a great video too...😊..
Where exactly are these places you are travelled through? Beautiful scenery but the snow seems tricky to drive through...don't your feet ache from the cold?
You guys are oh awesome I love watching how you helped people
Thank you so much and I am glad you enjoyed the video 🥳😁
Cant believe i watched the whole 40min..you the man 👍🏻👍🏻 wish i had friends like you..god bless you guys and your families
Glad you enjoyed the whole video and thank you for the kind words 😁
Yes! Oh My Gosh. More spellbinding than a suspense drama. Well done Rescuers ❤ Thank you for helping these people 👏Amazing job!
Thank you so much 😁
A job well done your guys are Angels in disguise God bless 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏i enjoyed waching tks 😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you very much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Christo u gentlemen have big hearts, much blessings to you guys. This shows that their are still awesome people out there that cares. Keep it up man. God bless you and family
Thank you so much for the kind comment. We really do appreciate it 😁
Never thought I'd see the day when I'm thinking : (Snow) SHOVEL needed on the front of South African "bakkies" !!! Horrendous snowstorm for which most residents are totally unprepared for ie driving stratedgy (best to stay OFF the roads), food, blankets, clothing extras as in gloves, toques, scarves, a shovel PLUS a spare tow cable. Outstanding help - satisfaction 100%, exhaustion 200% . Thank you for all this and more *OUTSTANDINGLY GENEROUS*
Such kind words, thank you so much. Highly appreciated 😁🤗
And the same here, we did not expect that much snow. When we started ascending the mountain pass, I know where to usually start expecting the snow and about a kilometer lower down, it started already. So then we knew, it's going to be a special experience for sure.
@@ChristoffSmit You are both amazing - so much heart!
Trots Suid-Afrikaans, geen ander woorde nie. Dankie vir julle omgee en hulp aan die gestrandes😊
Presies, trots Suid-Afrikaans 😁 Baie dankie vir die mooi boodskap
Well done guys. 👋👋👋
Thank you very much 😁
Besides being heroes (which most definitely are) you guys are also very entertaining. Thanks for letting us experience a snow adventure from the comfort of our homes. Lots of respect to you ouens.
Thank you so much, glad we could provide some entertainment whilst helping people AND having fun of course 😁 It was quite the experience for us.
SHEER ALTRUISM!👌😎AWESOME GUYS! ! Can't iamgine the Relief the people who were stuck overnight felt by your assistance! 🙏💛
Thank you so much 😁
Those recued will never foget you. God bless guys
Thank you very much for the kind words
You guys are Angels sent by God ❤❤🙏🙏
Thank you for the kind words 😁
Your compassion is awesome and inspiring.
Really glad to hear that, thank you for the kind words 😁
Where in western cape is this
Witzenberg area. Just outside Ceres
Sò proud of you, helping others in danger Blessings forever 🤗🙌🤗❣️
Thank you so much 😁🤗
Thank you for helping the family in the Hundai and the others 🙌🏾
Such a pleasure 😁
Respek! Julle manne is wraggies skerp! 🌟🌟
Baie dankie 😁
Goeie werk ouens!!👏💪
Thanks Herman! Lekker om jou hier te sien.
I've been looking at Toyota Prados for sale and came across your video, definitely want one now. After +-20 years they still look great. Fortuners seem like light version of the Prado.
They are absolute excellent vehicles. Super tough, super reliable and so comfortable when left standard and taken care of. The only downside is the fuel consumption of the 4.0 V6 version, but that is still the one you want. Back then it was a very expensive car and yes, the Prado is considered a higher spec vehicle than the Fortuner.
Dankie aan al julle manne... Julle is regtig amazing..julle almal daar in die WC bly in ons gebede.. God bless you all..
Vreeslik baie dankie, ons waardeer dit opreg 😁
well done gentlemen, amazing work and may you the almighty bless and protect you always
Thank you so much. Appreciate the kind words 😁
4th and 5th were insane! You guys are doing incrediblw work tbh
Thank you 😁 Appreciate it
I've never driven in snow, now I know to avoid it at all cost.
Unless we're around... 😉😂
Baie interessant. Kan nie glo so baie mense sit vas nie. Welgedaan met al julle hulp 🎉
Baie dankie 😁 Dit was vir ons ook vreemd. Gedink mense sal meer versigtig wees om in daardie kondisies te gaan ry.
Nee Lientjie mense sit nie vas nie net honde 😂😂😂😂 Se liewer get stuck😅😅😅
Een van my Namakwaland vriende het altyd hierdie sê ding, love dit 🤣
Presies die rede hoekom hekke gesluit is deur grond eienaars.Mense het maar nie ore en verstand nie.
Well done guys
Thank you 😁
God bless you! what true south African spirit
Thank you 😁
Respect to you guys for recovering/ in some cases requiring some people 👏 ❤..you gained a subscriber and l will be sharing all your uploads...great stuff guys😊
Thank you very much, we appreciate the kind words and the support. It means a lot 😁
God bless you Sir❤❤❤
Lekker Christoff,julle was helde!!!!!
Haha, dankie man. Waardeer 😁
Africa the new Europe and Europe becoming more like Africa
Imagine... that would cause proper chaos 🤣
Tht thing is a beast best video I watch on UA-cam
That is great to hear, thank you 😁
Driving in the snow is not for everyone. Toyota Recovery Power. Well done gents. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ recovery rating.
Thank you very much! And that is for sure, would not be possible without our V6 Toyota's 😁
Ps that was 6 out of 5 snow flakes.
I've noticed 🤭🤣 Not easy getting that kind of rating 😎
Now these guys are real life savers, using what they have and saving lives. Where are rescue services, where are the trained individuals.
Wat het jy met Prado se engin gemaak? Klink nie standaard nie. Het daai shape vir 12 jaar gery, beste voertuig ooit. Kennis van sneeu is maar skaars in ons land. Wel gedaan
Baie dankie, waardeer dit!
Die Prado is standaard, net n exhaust wat hom so mooi laat klink 😁 Dit is beslis die beste voertuig. Enige Toyota met die 1GR V6 is n wenner.
You can trust an Afrikaner to get you out of a tough situation , I know this because my Boss is Afrikaans, you guys are absolute heroes, taking the time to assist those in need. That V6 Prado though.
Haha, sounds like you have some experience yes 😂 We always try to make a plan, glad you approve and enjoyed.
That V6 Prado looks good hey? Thank you though, it took a while to get it the way I want.
@@ChristoffSmitit's a pleasure, my wife and kids also enjoyed the channel last night, Al's those tyres, that V6 didn't get into much trouble, very impressive
I am surprised by that Prado! I didn't know that Prado was so powerful, it rescued anything that was stuck! I am stunned.
I get so many people saying this 😂 The Prado is a beast indeed, especially if you have the 4.0 V6. The diesel version is quite slow though.
Respect Gents!!!! People don't understand the toll it put on your van.
Kudo's manner
Thank you very much and yes, I can't agree more 😁
It doesn't seem anyone lowered tyre pressures. When wheels slip, more throttle won't help.
Lots of the people who were stuck did lower pressures, but it doesn't help when you're already stuck like that. For us though, we kept them on 2bar, because we enjoy the slipping and sliding and playing with the full throttle 😁 That's kind of what we do 🤣
Wow. Came across this through the algorithms. Such amazing wholesome content. God bless you for all those rescues 👌🏾 ❤️ 🇿🇦
That is amazing news and thank you so much for the kind words 😁
It's amazing this is in my province of birth
That is awesome. You would have loved to see it like this then.
Baie goeie video.
Baie dankie, waardeer dit 😁
Nice hele vid gekyk. Mens moet amper n set snow chains saam vat 🤣
Dankie, bly jy het dit geniet 😁 En ja, ek moet se dat snow chains sou baie help, maar dit was defnitief meer fun so.
Selfs ek as ou vrou in Durbanville het dit baie indrukwekkend gevind - WOOOOWWWW!!!!
Op watter Berg was julle?
@@ChristoffSmit
Baie dankie, waardeer die boodskap 😁 Meeste van dit was geneem op Bo Swaarmoed en dan die laaste gedeelte waar al die trokke staan is Theronsberg pas.
if you dont know what you are doing stay of the roads dont damage the roads with incompetend driving.
Luckily nothing much was damaged, just where people slipped off the road. But most roads are tarmac underneath the snow.
Lekker windgat tot jy jou gat sien.
For sure!
Uitstekende werk wat julle verrig. Julle sal geseën word. Veilig wees.
Baie dankie, waardeer dit 😁
So baie dankie dat julle gewillig was om te help. Mag ons Hemelse Vader julle ryklik seën.
Baie dankie, ons waardeer die mooi boodskap 😁
Great work guys, some of those folk would have been stuck a long time without you. Ok so hooning around on the rev limit is not my thing but great effort for getting out there an helping folk. What tyres are you running on the 120, they seem to work REALLY well in those conditions. Again great effort! (Fellow Prado Driver (95) )
Thank you, appreciate it 😁 Nice to run into a fellow Prado owner on here. I do know the rev limiter thing is not for everyone, we're maybe a bit wild at times 🤷
I'm currently running BFG Muds, they are 35's. I swap out tyres quite often, but I am honestly so impressed with these. Would highly recommend them. Since the winter started, I've had them in the dunes, mud, clay and now snow. They perform great everywhere.
thanks for helping !!!
Only a pleasure 😁
This very fun
Wish we get snow more often 🤣
Respek. Julle het lewens gered!!
Baie dankie, ons waardeer die mooi boodskap 😁
That strap you guys used is honestly legendary😂 So is that Prado, regte yster😂💪
That is a very decent strap indeed 😂 And thank you, the Prado makes these kind of things easier 👀💪🏽
We salute you guys - you did tremendous recoveries!
PS: be prepared! People should always
(1).carry water, warm clothing/blankets and some form of food (eg. Pronutro bars or similar) in their vehicles when venturing offroad (especially in snow conditions!).
(2).carry the necessary 4x4 recovery equipment, i.a. a shovel, traction boards, hi lift jack, recovery ropes/blankets, proper recovery points, shackles, recovery dampers, winch, etc.
If you don't have experience driving in snow don't rely on the buttons of your latest 4x4 model - get training at a reputable 4x4 training centre!
Thank you for the notes, people should really keep these things in mind when venturing out. You never know what you might run into, especially in conditions you're not familiar with or if you don't have a lot of experience.
Julle twee manne doen wonderlike werk om mense te help
Baie dankie, ons is net bly ons was daar op die regte tyd en die regte plek.
Nee kyk ,daai Prado het gewerk , baie manne mooi gehelp , well done boys !!!!
Sonder die Prado sou ons lewens daar heelwat moeiliker gewees het, hy is beslis n beast 😁 Baie dankie, ons waardeer.
No... Is the towed individual trying to remain stuck, unbelievable.
If you're talking about the GD6 Fortuner, then yes 🤣
Baie entertaining om julle so in die sneeu te sien speel
Bly dit word geniet 😁 Dit was verseker baie fun gewees. Sal dit graag meer gereeld wou doen
I dont understand why there are so many people taking chances driving their ordinary cars on such roads and that includes the guys in their 4×2 bakkies
The same here. I don't think people realize how quickly it becomes undriveable/extremely slippery. And then there's nothing you can do to make your car move.
well done and great video but just a bit of advise....never use your tow hook for recoveries.......
Thank you very much 😁 And no, we would never use the tow hook, we're aware that becomes a bullet when breaking off. I have a different mounting bracket (the tow hook is at the end of it) at the bottom of the Prado, we use that in such cases. I still need to add another recovery point though.
Hope you count your blessings everyday if you can wake up and go call the very same phenomenon that displaced the poor and caused them loss, as amazing.
Are there positives and negatives about it? Yes, of course. But it is amazing in the sense of how beautiful nature can be and also how thankful we should be for the snow, as that contribute in a big way to our dam levels. We still feel for the people affected negatively by it.
LOOK who is spinning their vehicles now. In the snow nogal.
Who? Tell us 🤣
34:00 thanks for helping...so you coud literally die outside in the cold
Yes, without a doubt. It was the middle of the day when we helped them and it was 1'C, imagine what they've experienced during the previous night.
Just glad we could help 😁
Wow, ek hoop elkeen wat so lekker van die pad af jaag besef daar is diertjies onder die sneeu onder die grond en julle het baie se veilige skuilings vernietig. Daar is 'n pad. Ek verstaan as jy per ongeluk van die pad af "gly", maar om met opset in die sneeu te jaag gaan werklik my verstand te bowe.
Bou 'n sneeuman, hardloop of val in die sneeu en geniet dit, maar wees steeds bewus van die lewe onder die sneeu.
Ek verstaan 100% en ons neem dit wel in ag. Meeste van ons "speel" was op die pad wat toe gesneeu is. Die ander area waar ons van die pad af was, is n oop stuk, harde grond. Ons ken die area redelik goed.
Daar waar verskeie mense van die pad af gegly het is n ander saak, daar is wel bosse en gras onder die sneeu ja.
Jammer om te ontstel, was nie die bedoeling nie.
Girl, diertjies bou nie skuil plek op harde grond nie, selfs nie eens in sagter dele langs harde grond nie. Hulle woon dieper in sagte grond, tussen gras en klippe. En as daar diertjies was is hulle verseker dood gevries, hierdie soort weer kom omtrent nooit so dik voor nie.
Hierdie ouens het mense se lewens gered.
@@ChristoffSmiten vriend knap gedaan..... Mag GOD julle seen in alle areas in jul lewens.... 🙏
Baie dankie, waardeer dit 😁
lol ...only time the 4 x 4 status vehicles ever get used for its overall purpose!
There weren't many 4x4 vehicles though, most were 4x2's, hence struggling so much. And then on the 4x4's, the normal tyres just don't cut it. You need an aggressive mud terrain like I have fitted on the Prado 😁
Christoff my maat, julle is ysters!
Dankie man, waardeer! 💪🏽
Waar in die Wes-Kaap is dit?
Bo Swaarmoed, net buite Ceres.
The 6th recovery guy didnt put his ESP off
Could be. He was one of the guys who drove his own vehicle behind me, so we didn't check. He said his 4x4 doesn't engage though.
Crazy stuff. In Europe, nobody would be driving without chains. Those "normal" cars are lucky you guys came along or that they got off the mointains. Pretty irresponsible, especially with children.
Anyway, did you guys deflate the mudtyres at all? If so, what pressures were you running?
Yeah, as someone mentioned in another comment, South Africans are a bit irresponsible 🤦♂️ But thank you for the nice comment, just glad we were there. Right place, right time.
No, we didn't deflate at all. We should have gone down a bit, but we wanted a challenge and to make it a bit more slippery. So we've stayed on 2 bar
Hello, lovely video- wish I was there! Which day was this and do you know if the snow is still there?
Thank you very much, glad you've enjoyed it. This was on Monday. After that the snow washed away from all the rain, but just received confirmation that it started snowing again. So tonight should see some good snow for a great experience tomorrow.
@@ChristoffSmit ah great, thank you so much. My granddaughter and I are so excited and would love to go tomorrow. Where is the best spot to drive to, we are coming from Cape Town!
It all depends on which vehicle you'll be using of course. Not sure how much snow will be on Bo Swaarmoed (where this video was taken). But at Matroosberg there will definitely be snow, most places up there though you do need a 4x4.
@@ChristoffSmit Thank you so much! We have a Toyato Fortuner 2x4, we will drive as far as we can in the direction of Matroosberg and just see how far we can go. We will send you photos if we make it!
The ground clearance would already help, but yes, be careful when driving with a 4x2 vehicle. Once you're sliding or stuck, the vehicle can't save themselves.
Would be amazing if you make it. I hope there is a lot of snow and it is completely worth the drive 😁
Find it very funny that 4x4's are stuck, but clearly not much experience shown for these conditions. Would never cope with conditions like in northern Europe
That's the thing, when you put our SA guys in desert/mud/rocky conditions, they usually do really well, because people understand it. In SA no one ever deals with snow, so there's no real way to gain experience with it. And the same other way around, when we go on tours with guys from Europe, they have no idea how to drive in the dunes/sand.
so what can happend with elctric car ? 😢
Oh 😳 That might be a problem. Firstly, the intense cold could affect the battery. So the car might not even work. Or the battery will just drain quite quickly and not deliver the power as usual.
@@ChristoffSmit OMG 😲
What pressure were the Prado's tyres at?
Well, they were suppose to be around 1bar, but we were there to have fun as well (slipping and sliding 🤣), so we kept our tyres at 2bar the entire time.
@@ChristoffSmit I think it was the correct thing to do. Nate of Dirt Lifestyle I think mentioned in one of his videos that it's not the same as sand and mud and that you don't air down the same.
But awesome vid - looked Freak'n A!
Hope it makes it to us near Hogsback 🤞🏻
Ah really, that's interesting. I'll go have a look if I can find that video. I've found that the muds really work well aired down to about 1 / 1.2bar in the snow. You have so much more grip then, as your footprint is also wider. For normal all terrain tyres, I would also just leave it as be without deflating.
It was absolutely beautiful though. Quite something to see.
het jy 33 of 35 duim wiele en watse lift?
35's met n 85mm lift. Daar moes maar n paar modifications gebeur saam met dit om alles te laat pas en werk soos dit moet 😳
What tyres did the two rescue vehicles have on?
The GD6 Fortuner has normal all terrain tyres, my Prado though runs with BFG mud terrains which helped a lot.
@@ChristoffSmitWow 🤩 Your compassion, driving skills, tyres and type of vehicle certainly got a lot of people out of trouble. May our Heavenly Father bless you abundantly. This world needs more of you!
Wow, such kind words. Thank you very much 😁 We're just glad we were able to help so many people out of trouble.
@@ChristoffSmit ❤️
You need snow tyres
The closest we're able to get here is mud terrains 🤣🤷
What? That will be boring; it will spoil boys' sense of adrenalin-rush fun.
Die een was nou lekker om te kyk ook.... Jene baie wat vasgevang word. Ek wil eendag saam gaan as jul so gaan help hehehe
Baie dankie, bly jy het dit geniet 😁 Ons kon self nie glo hoeveel mense vassit nie, maar ons het natuurlik baie fun gehad. En ons het altyd plek vir nog mense saam neem 🥳
NH people: WTF are you doing, not like that.
Next time guys put on your superhero capes!
NH people?
@@karamurray4044 Northen Hemisphere where snow is more predominant. Superman actually alludes to this in the video saying that us Saffas are not use to snow so please NH forgive us if we are not doing it properly.
The NH people are probably laughing at us struggling in the snow 🤣 But once they come visit us and we tour Namibia and drive in the dunes, then we are the professionals again 😎
@@Zenda_Nior thank you for explaining. :)
Ek weet ek kom seker negatief voor omdat ek kla omdat daar onnodig " donuts" gemaak is, maar ek wil wel vir julle manne sê " welldone" omdat julle so baie mense gehelp het.
Baie dankie, waardeer dit 😁 En dis geen probleem nie, no hard feelings. Ons almal is geregtig op ons eie opinie.
as dit winter toe gaan kry maar sneeu kettings op die wiele
Is onseker of mens dit kry in ons area, sover kan niemand vir my se waar nie, behalwe om n stel in te voer natuurlik. Dink net nie met die hoeveelheid sneeu dae wat ons in n jaar het, dat dit die moeite werd is nie.
Tow Ball recoveries ????
Not once have we done a tow ball recovery no.
Thanks, while you do help people, you also provide some fantastic footage for my training in Search And Rescue on exactly how not to behave and what not to do in terms of irresponsible use of assets. While I have often talked of people doing totally irresponsible stupid things in a 4x4 in remote areas, I've never up till now had any actual footage of boys using toys they are not old enough to use responsibly.
Thank you, Harvested and filed.
Glad we could be of assistance at such a young age already 😁
Have you guys not heard of kenetic straps? And correct tow points?
We are using a proper 16ton snatch strap (I know kinetic have about 10% more stretch), but this specific snatch works just fine for us. And there's not really any space out of the tracks to build momentum to put it to full use every time.
As for tow points, we shackle to the tow points on the other vehicles where we should be recovering from.
Dit lyk nou moerse lekker! Eks jaloers!
Dit was, maar jy't die regte voertuig daar in jou profile foto vir dit ook doen 😉
@@ChristoffSmit As ek so na daai rims kyk en exhaust note luister, identify jy ook maar eintlik as 'n FJ! nee ek sal my voortande gee om eendag so bietjie in die sneeu te kan kom speel met die FJ, maar hier in die Noorde by ons sien mens nie sneeu nie! Maar ons beplan om volgende jaar met die winter bietjie Sani Pas te gaan aanvat en bietjie in die sneeu te gaan faceplant!
Baie waar, die 4.0 V6 is amper n FJ, net nie dual VVTi nie 😐 Die Sani Pass trip sal ongelooflik wees. Dit is self nog op my bucketlist om daar te wees wanneer dit sneeu, maar ek dink dit sal nogals n behoorlike challenge wees.
You need CHAINS on your tyres. You can all FREEZE if your petrol runs out and you have no more heaters.
DANGEROUS
The problem is, we don't really have those kind of things available in SA, so we need to work with what we have.
For us who do the recoveries, we are being pretty safe. Long range fuel tank (180l of fuel) and that's also why we went with two vehicles. If one breaks down, we have another on standby.
So ford ranger is a scam
I'm rather not going to comment on that, but let's just say, I won't disagree with you 🤭🤣
Sleet not snow
Could be yes. The flakes were really soft at some point though, but can't say for sure
Hi daar waar presies is dit my maat?
Hi hi, meeste van dit was Bo Swaarmoed, Ceres en die laaste gedeelte bo op Theronsberg pass.
Nice …is daar nog sneeu? Ek is nou opad daarna
Volgens die mense met wie ons gesels, is daar nie op die oomblik nie. Slegs hoog op Matroosberg.
Baie dankie ons het halfpad om gedraai, ons sal maar kyk vir in die week.
Ai man, jammer om te hoor. Dis maar die ding, dit gebeur so min en wanneer dit gebeur, hou dit so kort. Mens moet letterlik reg wees vir ry sulke tye om dit op die peak te vang. Hopelik kry julle nog die kans.
Why are some number pltes yellow?
Usually they are only for government vehicles in SA, but the one vehicle we've helped had plates from the town just down the mountain. Not sure why they are yellow.
Further, irrefutable proof of global WARMING 🤣😂😅
We came across quite a few people who said this is the most they've seen in 30 to 40 years. As to why, I do not know 🤷🤣
Bull I grew up in this area, there has been much heavier snow in the past. Only now that everyone can film etc. Now it's climate change. Hope you were been sarcastic
Really? I can't comment on that though, only quoting what I've heard from older locals. I'm not from the area myself.
Global warming? The biggest hoax around.
Ag neewat. Net weer boys with their toys 🙂
Gaan nie eers probeer verskil nie 😁🤣
