A South African Peter Pan
AND HERE IS THE NEWS... all Botoxed up and dressed in a wig. Riaan Cruywagen hasn't aged in the 47 years he's been on air.
On the blog LEO AFRICANUS Sean Jacobs writes: "Riaan Cruywagen... is synonymous with television news in South Africa. He jokingly refers to himself as the “longest serving Afrikaans news reader in the world.” He has been reading news since 1976 when TV first came to South Africa". See this short documentary by Cape Town filmmaker Lucille Blankenberg called “Don’t Shoot,” about Cruywagen (and then read a review of it on the blog).
