A cool dude runs Saatchi & Saatchi and he is on his way to CT

Aaa how fantastic that you will get a chance to visit our country. I am so happy to be living here and enjoyed you blogging on what is indeed a truly incredible and interesting place to live. I have in fact been working under Mr Eastwoods direction in that movie and just wrapped yesterday after two months of playing one of the Springboks. How strange to pull on the Jersey and sing Nkosi with the Panavision Camera close in attendance. The rugby scenes v the All Blacks were just too special! The Warner Brothers movie experience was phenomenal and cant wait to see the finished project at the end of the year -this movie is sure to be a cracker in its own right, not to mention what it can do for South Africa and the game of rugby throughout the world. I must also tell/warn you that Matt is a top guy and a handy poker player. I lost an exciting hand to him while holding trip 7's! I too am a story teller and actually writing one that flows from my heart about a childhood under apartheid. A writing and emotional experience I am enjoying immensely. Not all white people were a part of the major wrong doings in the country at the time off course, and not every black person carries the relatively new found opportunity of 'freedom' forward in the most productive or integrous way. The country still faces huge challenges as the ANC is looked upon with narrowed eye brows from those that sat in prisons and sacrificed so much for it in an excruciating past. I had a very interesting chat to Zelda (Madiba's personal assitant extraodinaire) on Wed night in this regard. KR when you are in CT pls feel free to look me up madibapi@gmail.com as I have a super insight to this fairest of cities that you could make use of.There are Lovemarks a plenty that occur in Africa's unique way of expressing itself - from the Mining Helmuts that together with the Vuvuzela (don't worry if these are not familiar yet, they will become familiar in 2010 WORLD CUP)have become so much part of the game of soccer, to the table cloth of cloud that covers our flat Table Mountain! Not all are commercial love marks perhaps, but just as intensely revered and loved. I am good buddies with Bob Skin as well if you need a reference :) Safe trip and enjoy your stay as I am certian you shall. Ryan Scott From Kevin
