So the days are getting colder and shorter in the UK. The waning sunlight is hitting you at a sideway-slant and each day you see the shadows growing longer as frost creeps across your lawn. You try not to think about it, but homesickness lurks around each windy corner of London, waiting to enfold you in its frigid embrace.

As a South African expat you’re probably longing for the warmth and buzz of the South African summer – jacarandas in bloom, smell of jasmine, rain and braaivleis, a cold beer with your mates, warm bodies on the beach. We get it, it’s lonely and cold and we feel for you, we honestly do. Which is why we’d like to spoil you with a bit of local flavour in your home-away-from-home.

Finglobal.com brings you Robbie Wessels on tour in London.

Now, no one ever said you were a good dancer, and you certainly don’t get invited back for seconds at the local karaoke bar. But you’ve been starving for the sound of South Africa for so long, you will gooi it like it’s hot all sokkie-style at this gig. Nothing and no one will stop you. You will do the leeuloop, move to the Macarena Mambo and ‘hou vas’ your ‘matras’ like a pro.

In case you don’t know this already, here are 8 Facts about Robbie Wessels:

• Birth name: Robert Albert Wessels
