Darren's YEF outbreak

Darren Maule officially diagnosed himself with Y.E.F: Year-End Fatigue, and honestly? The entire province nodded in exhausted agreement.

To treat the condition, the team phoned their sports correspondent Cobus, who promptly referred them to his cousin: KOLIN (with a 'K') from Cape Town, because Cape Town has an ocean, not a sea.

Make it make sense? No. Did it help? Also no, but it was glorious radio.

After SOLD-OUT chaos in Joburg, she’s finally bringing the laughter to the PlayTSOGO Globe on 4 December.
