The Corne and Twakkie of 7de Laan:
Werner Coetser and Neels van Jaarsveld.
On Saturday night (11 May) the cast and crew of 7de Laan came out to party to celebrate the soapie's 3000th episode.
The episode aired on
Thursday night last week (on the 9th) and the show celebrated the benchmark with an intimate dinner/dance at the The Private Room at Kyalami in Jozi.
The theme for the evening was "80's" - word from a source close to the show is that they chose this theme to give the shindig a casual, fun feel so that it wasn't too formal. As you'll see, some 'laaners were dressed as their favourite schlebs from the era while others simply dressed in tacky 80's gear ...
