Knysna man plans to break vetkoek world record
A Knysna man is tackling his 54th world record by baking 3000 vetkoek in 24 hours in Parys, Free State.
André van Zijl is a multiple record holder who dedicates his life to helping others.
Some of his world records include climbing Table Mountain on roller skates and roller skating from Cape Town to Johannesburg - which took 345 hours.

He says he sat in a Jacuzzi for 13 days, but the most difficult thing Van Zijl says he has done was rowing on a rowing machine for 100 hours.
"I have been doing [these world records] since 1988. Many years ago I was diagnosed with HIV, and I have decided to dedicate my life to helping other people," says Van Zijl.
Van Zijl plans to sell the vetkoek to the public to generate funds to people with epilepsy and to the SPCA in Parys.
