Lied vir Sarah

Lied vir Sarah bring hulde aan Suid Afrika se gunstelling Professor Jonathan Jansen se ma, en aan alle ma’s wat onder moelike omstandighede gesinne grootmaak en gemeenskappe bou. Jansen bied hierdie deerniswekkende lofsang aan om vulgêre stereotipes van Kaapse Vlakte-ma’s te weerspreek.
