Interview with Clem Steenkamp

Drive South Africa: Tell us a joke, any joke.

Clem: The bartender asks the guy sitting at the bar, “What’ll you have?” The guy answers, “A scotch, please.” 

The bartender hands him the drink, and says, “That’ll be five dollars,” to which the guy replies, “What are you talking about? I don’t owe you anything for this.” 

A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, then says to the bartender, “You know, he’s got you there. In the original offer, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration.” 

The bartender was not impressed, but says to the guy, “Okay, you beat me for a drink. But don’t ever let me catch you in here again.”

Drive South Africa: If you had to go on a road trip and needed to fit your whole family (and their luggage) into one vehicle, what type of vehicle would you need?

Clem: A Smart Car – He he – I’m single.

Drive South Africa: When you’re on holiday, what is the one thing you wouldn’t want to leave at home?

Clem: My soap and clean underpants.

Drive South Africa: What’s your favourite road trip song?

Clem: Radar Love!

Drive South Africa: What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been?

Clem: Richtersveld National Park.

Drive South Africa: GPS or map?

Clem: Well, I have been led astray by my lovingly-talking lady GPS, so I always have maps of the area that I visit as a back-up.

Drive South Africa: If there was a donkey in the road in front of you, what would you do?

Clem: I’d give it a donkey-hoot and skip around it!

Drive South Africa: How long does it take you to pitch a tent?

Clem: Three beers.

Drive South Africa: If you had to pick one famous person to take on a road trip with you, who would you pick and why?

Clem: Desmond Tutu – He can fill in the potholes as we go along.

Drive South Africa: What are the ingredients for your favourite potjie?

Clem: Oxtail and a good red wine. The oxtail’s for the pot. The wine’s for me.
