For Marno van der Merwe known for his roles in the TV series Sterlopers and the movie Modder en Bloed only one name comes to mind when talking about local sporting heroes.
“When I was growing up and even now, my local hero will always be Joost van der Westhuizen. He is one of the most committed and motivating sportsmen SA has ever had. He has such a big heart, strong mind and was the sole reason I nearly chose rugby as career.”
Singer and songwriter Len Muller also loves everything local picks Market@at The Sheds as his favourite craft and flea market. “It is in the beautiful inner city of Pretoria and oh-so multicultural. It reminds me of what South Africa should look like,” he explains.
So who will you vote for? We can’t wait to see.
