Heavy lift carne in operation


Paul Booyens Team leader Responsible for running the zoo. He seriously believes that at least one hundred girls will be waiting for him upon his return to Cape Town harbour. Come on ladies, don't disappoint him. With a face that only his visually challenged mother can love, there is a good chance of this happening!!!
	Jason Whiting Communications and computer engineer Halfway through the SANAP circuit. Completed Gough Island, busy with SANAE, considering Marion Island. Jason's amateur radio callsign is ZS6JJW, standing by on 14160 kHz between 18h00 and 19h00 GMT. Jason obviously did not wear his chemical warfare suit and is suffering from, yes, you are right, the SANAE mad cow disease.ke me hurry my cooking."
Rossouw Visser Electrical engineer Marathon man. The only person in the history of SANAE to bring his own treadmill. Rossouw enjoys a good, big meal. In his own words: "Ons eet ons self moeg en slaap ons self honger." "No Rossouw, drooling like that is not going to make me hurry my cooking."
	Francois Hofmeyr Mechanical engineer The "quiet" guy. Secretly scheming to turn the walk around the mountain into a Nissan rally track. In the mean time, he is trying to get rid of the the bad taste in his mouth, left after sucking a lemon left after drinking a "T" sunrise.
Sir Boasa Tladi Diesel mechanic In his own words: "The little corporal with a song full of laughter and humour". Boasa has a woman to love and two kids to take care of. It looks however, as if Boasa needs some "taking care of".
	Michael Walker Diesel mechanic Mike believes that by dressing in a chemical warfare suit, he won't get infected by the SANAE mad cow disease.
Esmé Nel Medical doctor and deputy team leader Soul and meat mechanic.
	Barend Bezuidenhout Scientist Probably the first person ever to kayak in this part of Antarctica. Barend can be found swinging from the Radar masts in his spare time. Barend caught the fastest girl in a Go-kart or was it vica-versa, did Marlene catch Barend?
Lindsay Dawes Scientist Aurora watcher and Whistler listener. Joint foster parent, with Jonathan, of a Malagasy lemur.
	Johan Nel Scientist The only guy clever enough to bring his personal doctor to Antarctica. <-- Johan, after 8 months on the ice!!!!!
