The man, the myth, the legend. SJ and the Kotze's have created one of the most genuine family vibes in terms of company culture and it translates through to their customers who are some of the most loyal in the trade!

Shortcuts = pay the price or go somewhere else. Unfortunately being on the receiving end of SJ's style of customer service was not very pleasant and we have since then directed our business elsewhere. Lovely store, staff have a cool vibe and SJ senior is a legend. Hopefully one day junior will take a feather out of the old mans hat. thx for the videos W&M very cool platform.
