Leon Coetzee was 60 when he first got on a motorbike. After a long career as a lawyer, a brand-new phase of life begins and he discovers the freedom that the open road offers. Modder, klei en water tells the story of the alliance between a man and his motorbike and how his BMW adventure motorbikes have helped him break free from old, standardised thought patterns. Stephan Henrico is a professional soldier and since 2017 a proud resident of the Free Republic of Volstruisville and Oudtshoorn where he is stationed as officer in command of the Health Centre South Coast of the South African Defence Force. In Verhale uit Volstruisville vertel hy met humor van die plekke waar hy al gewoon het, eienaardige kampeerbure aan die Weskus, die Olifantshoek-kerkkoor se moeite om noot te hou en die dag toe Lohatla se rugbyspanne Mafikeng se reuse kafgedraf het. Dit is ook ’n joernaal van sy gesinslewe, sy loopbaan as soldaat en sy perspektiewe op die lewe.
