RIP Boet Troskie

[Trevor]

The name might not be overly familiar but he was the producer of The Gods Must Be Crazy, Beautiful People and Lost In The Desert.

I knew him personally: he was a millionaire many times over but he remained a down to earth and friendly person with an almost constant grin.

RIP Oom Boet.

Sorry to hear you lost an acquaintance.  RIP.

Sorry to hear you lost an acquaintance.  RIP.

Thanks Rev: my first encounter with him was way back in 1991 when I assisted my two colleagues in emptying their film vault at Mimosa Pictures in Johannesburg before their move: three weeks work and almost 20 000 cans 

He came to see us working away - Marius, Freddie and me - and greeted us, asked if we were OK and ordered his staff to ensure that the three of us got a hot lunch daily for the time we were there. Nice man.
