871. Clarence [song still playing in background] It’s 104.9, the heart and soul of Cape Town. Al Jarreau,
“Sad and distracted” on this Friday afternoon. Very distracted, actually. Stressed. Cos it’s the
end of the road for the Suster character, making her final appearance here on P4 radio, after
ten glorious r, years of, of radio. And I must admit, its ten years, um, that got me in trouble a
whole lotta times. I think I’ve seen more, uh, reprimands in the last ten years because of
Suster than I’ve ever seen in my, in my whole life. Uh, it’s been ten years of incredible
grounding as well for me, I think. Especially just, having just got into radio at a time when
things weren’t necessarily as free and easy as it is today, where people expected you to speak
a certain kind of English or a certain kind of Afrikaans. And, where you would be required to
go to elocution, for example, because there’s only way of speaking, uh, according to some
people. And of course, uh, it was, uh, ja {yes}, Suster that, uh, really strongly said, “No, hold
on a second. Hold on a second. There isn’t just one way of speaking. People speak in a whole
lotta different ways and we must speak in the language of the people.” So, one of those
elements that kept me solidly grounded, um, ja, in Cape Town. And that’s what we’re just
reflecting back on. Ten years of, of Suster. Lots of laughs and I think lots of tears as well.
There’s been, uh, some incredible learning moments as, uh, we’ve shared together – you and
I and Suster. And we will continue too reflect on those ten years when we get back.
