Dis hoekom hy weet: die nasie het weer opcheer nodig, hulle het Schuster nodig; hulle’t Schucks nodig.

Interview with Leon Schuster
Andrea Nagel from Timeslive.co.za had a question and answer session with Leon Schuster, our favourite prankster just before the opening of his latest movie Schuks Tshabalala’s Survival Guide to South Africa 2010.
