DIE BROERS
''Ons is nie die soort ouens wat berge sal klim en uit vliegtuie spring nie - ons maak musiek vir 'n lewe en dit laat die adrenalien genoeg vloei,'' laat hy hoor.
Hy en sy broers, Cobus en Nic, maak al amper twintig jaar lank saam musiek en werk nou aan hul tweede Broers-album wat nog 'n naam moet kry. Hul eerste album saam, getiteld Broers, is in 2005 uitgereik en steeds gewild.
Die Broers het in 1992 besluit om hul talente saam te snoer, maar tussendeur het Christo en Cobus ook as sangpaar naam gemaak en Nic Stevens as solo-kunstenaar. Die drie is bloedbroers, maar Nic het die van Stevens vir sy verhoognaam gekies.

ELIZMA THERON
Sy sou die verleidelikste natuurbewaarder gewees het!
Die leeumannetjies sou haar heungingblond-lokke begeer het,
wildboewe sou nie haar sexy glimlag kon weerstaan
nie en sy sou die res van die diereryk met daardie rustige groen oë kon tem.
Elizma het naam gemaak met ‘n hokkiestok, as danseres en met‘n mikrofoon in die hand. As fotografiese model het sy in Griekeland,
Frankryk en Italië gewerk. Sy’t dié natuurlike talent ná skool
verder geslyp en het met haar kennis ‘n kultuurskool op Kuruman gestig
en amper vier jaar lank onderrig in moderne dans,
modelwerk, klopdanse en sang gegee.
Sy loop nou dramaklas en is tans besig met die sepie‚’Villa Rosa’ se opnames
waarin sy vanaf Maart 2009 te siene sal wees.
Elizma peins: ’’Ek het al baie foute in my lewe gemaak, maar ek het geen berou daaroor nie. Foute is bloot ‘n selfkenkurwe. Dit slyp jou voortdurend. ‘n Gestampte
kop word hárd en jy word ratser en weet dan wanneer om te koes…”
Dit is nou háár tyd. “In Engels sê hulle ‘the sky is the limit’,
maar ek wil myself nie só beperk nie.
Ek verskuif en verbreed my doelwitte voortdurend.
Droom, wens, waag…”
