(true story)

When an industrialist invites God into his business, miracles happen. Despite never having gotten past seventh grade in school and experiencing many failures early on, R.G.

Although his competitors thought him insane, history has proven that his inventive genius was decades ahead of its time.

KIEWIETMOED

Daar kom hy in die beestepaadjie aan,

hy stuit vir niks, hy’t reeds sy weg gebaan.

Die middagson op sy blinkend goue vel,

hier tussen sy trop koeie is daar niks wat hom kwel.

‘n Volle elfhonderd kilogram weeg hy swaar,

as hy aankom, sy nek trots omhoog, gee-pad jy maar.

Dis my stoet se nuwe Limousin bul,

hier in sy kamp loop hy net waar hy wil.
