Vnas widely diverse team covers all corners of South Africa – from Cape Town to Johannesburg and all the way to Kimberly and features everything from 17ft pools to slappy curbs; they went far and wide to gather footage for this project.

cope with whatever is thrown at us. Facetious is nothing but proud South African homage.
