Dewald,

When I was just a foot high my father & Charlize Theron's father, Charles used to work together. She was a little girl with white/blond hair and was spoiled totally by her father with all sorts of gifts...

Now you have me interested........tell us the story about later years when Charlize grew up and longed to see her childhood friend Dewald !
First, I would like to stand over the shoulder of Antonio Stradivari as he works.

And from the modern era, I would like to have a chat with Mark Levinson. For the same reason Aball mentioned about Dave Wilson, I'd love to find out more about the mindset of someone who has masterfully combined quality gear with superior branding.
Mitchell, I sure wish you would have at least started a fight with him. Yelling at someone is just as bad as getting physical. Even though it was years ago, and didn't involve me at all - that makes me very angry at Mr. Seqerra. Some one who has connections needs to call him out (verbally,of course) on this. I'll do it.....
Albert,

She (Charlize) would not remeber me! I don't think that she wants to remeber where she grew up. Benoni is actually a bit of a dodgy place...
