During the show, Liewe Heksie and her friends encounter Botterblom, the milk cow from Blommeland. Botterblom provides milk for the land, but she is very angry and lonely because she is not allowed to play with anyone. What will happen to Botterblom?
Meet Casper the Garden Gnome and watch drama unfold. Who is hiding behind the tree? Could it be a naughty Gifappeltjie (poison apple)?

Carvin Goldstone: My new debit order – Thursday and Friday, 26 and 27 December 2024
One of Durban’s most beloved stand-up comedians, Carvin H. Goldstone, will be performing at Wild Coast Sun. Please welcome him back on stage for his new one-man comedy show, “My New Debt Order”, on Thursday and Friday, 26 and 27 December 2024.
In this performance, Goldstone humorously explores the experience of welcoming a new baby in his 40s, which he playfully refers to as his “new debit order.” He also discusses topics such as childbirth, raising a teenager, and the impact of new presidents in both South Africa and the United States.
For some background on Goldstone, few could have predicted his rise in the comedy world. In 2006, he was encouraged by his co-workers to enter a comedy competition at Sibaya, where he took the stage for the first time. After five performances, he was crowned the comedy champion. Over the years, he has become an internationally touring comedian and received the highest accolade in South African comedy, being named South African Comedian of the Year in 2018. He also won the award for Best South African Comedy Show in 2020. As of 2023, Goldstone has been nominated four times for SA Comedy’s top honour.
