A HIDDEN DULCIE VAN DEN BERGH GEM!
Sweetie pies - remember our tribute to the late great Dulcie van den Bergh? Well I came across something! Its a comedy movie series from 1994 about the town of Bakgat and its COPSHOP or the police station. Its hilarious and quite prophetic as many of the skits are happening and have happened since our adoption of the New Constitution. These shorts available on youtube.com allow a rare view into Duclie and her talents. She died shortly thereafter.

I have posted it (the video) on my Facebook profile or you can visit
