26. Clarence: [song still playing] It’s 104.9, the heart and soul of Cape Town. From Kayolin, its called
‘naked’ and I like the one this one ends especially. [song ends] Not, not because it’s finished
now, but it’s a nice kinda worked down end and a great song there. Some home root stuff from
Kayoiln and a track called ‘naked’ brought us to two minutes past two. It’s time for Update
Kaapse Vlakte, uh, and we welcome back, uh to the studio, uh wise man sister. How are you
today?
27. Suster: Oh, my word, meisie {girl}. Ek voel soos, uh {I feel like, uh}, Blackman Ngoro. Wiet dzy

hold of that guy, I’ll go into Zimbabwe quickly}… () = =
28. Clarence: = = But you know him, don’t you?

guy, you understand} but, but I’ll do it at the end of the, at the end of this hour = =
30. Clarence: = =For Blackman
31. Suster: Vir {For} Blackman Ngoro.
32. Clarence: What’s the matter?
33. Suster: I just, I just decided to pen a letter to him and I sent it so I’ll read it also publicly.
34. Clarence: Ok a radio letter to, to … Blackman Ngoro
35. Suster: To Blackman Ngoro, to, to vent my feelings, verstaan jy {you understand}. Ek het mos {I
do have} feelings man, verstaan jy {man, you understand} ()

37. Suster: Umbrage, baggage= =
38. Clarence: = = you see Blackman we, know, we know big words = =
39. Suster = = custard, alles {everything}.
40. Clarence: You’re taking umbrage, custard [laughter] Okay, so Blackman Ngoro, if you’re, if you’re
listening, maybe you don’t wanna listen because Suster’s got something aimed at you at, uh,
just before three ‘o clock. Sister, it’s been a great tour. You’ve been a wonderful navigator and
a great assistant tour guide.
41. Suster: Thank you Clarence. He says it publicly. Ek het gewag vir ‘n hele twee weke voor hy my
iets gesê {I waited for a whole two weeks before he said something to me}, but, no no no, I’m
only joking.
42. Clarence: I know you are very good with a map. That’s for sure, um and, uh, of course I’ve been busy,
uh, the better part of the tour so sister was leading people through this wonderful tour. I
purposefully left out any detail because I didn’t want to, uh, duplicate matters. So, so,
basically, we’re gonna take this hour to recap on, on = =
43. Suster: = = Ja {Yes}, just, just the wonderful moments that we’ve experienced, um = =
44. Clarence: = = Are you gonna tell names and addresses? Will we be able to protect the not so innocent?
45. Suster: No, no. Ja, ja {Yes, yes}. No names. Don’t even ask me for names.
46. Clarence: Is it? Why not?
47. Suster: Because, I, I, think there’s twenty two people sitting and listening to this radio now and
thinking, ‘Ek wonder of {I wonder if}… ‘ No, no, don’t worry. I’m not going to mention your
name because you do have children, you do have mothers, you do have sisters, you do have
daughters and, and sons, and, and they are innocent in all this, verstaan jy {you understand}?
So, therefore, your names will be left out of any type of story that I’m going to relate here,
soes, soes (soos, soos) {like, like}… = =
48. Clarence: = = Even, even the person, wat sy hele kas saam gebring het {who brought his whole
cupboard along}?

to talk about the guys’ baggage, you understand}. Hy’t (hy het) nou nie die small print gelees
op die ticket nie en toe kom hy nou hier by die airport in die Kaap, verstaan jy? {He didn’t
read the small print on the ticket and so he came here to the airport in Cape Town, you
understand}
50. Clarence: What’s his name again?
51. Suster: No, en hy gat (gaan) {and he goes}, no, no names = =
