Ivor Swartz is in die dorp, en glo my, hierdie is nie jou standaard skoolsaal-preek nie. Ivor is ’n ou wat weet waarvan hy praat. Hy is vandag ’n predikant en ’n motiveringspreker, maar sy pad was alles behalwe reguit. Op 15 was hy diep in die "drugs" en bendes in om weg te kom van drama by die huis. D
