Listen: want to know what film Leon Schuster wishes he hadn't made?

Amazing how the years go by! Did you know that filmmaker Leon Schuster has been making South Africans laugh for the last 30 years? A great coincidence that we're also celebrating 3 Decades of Jacaranda FM this year!

Having started off in the 'prank' genre of filmmaking, Leon Schuster is as much a part of South African culture as braaing and the frequent use of the word 'Howzit' when people greet each other. 


In other words, one can almost not imagine a moment where Schuster's films were not a part of their lives growing up.


Having made his first film "You Must Be Joking" in 1986, this year marks 30 years of Schuster being a box office smasher in South Africa. 


Schuster was elevated to bonafide 'icon' status in 2001 when "Mr Bones" grossed R33 million at the South African box office - a historic record at the time.
