Well written and composed

Another South African title to be proud of, Van Der Merwe. This comedy, starring some of the country's best, has been well written and put together, and it has been written in such a way that it falls snuggly in the category just above stepping on people's toes. Well done Mr Lawley for writing this successful title!

That's two thumbs up from me.
