Yes Sowetan, how long did it take you to tell us inspiring stories of people who are making waves out there, this is what we like and our Youth can learn a thing or two from these role models, I like it, Big up to the Journo.

Well done My boy, I have a beautiful girl waiting for you.

Good innovation, but I don't think it's a good idea to rely solely on it. One needs a bath, otherwise dry bathing will have a bad smell of its own.

Tjo this invention is environmentally friendly in the sense that now water will be saved as ppl will not be needing to use much water to shower, I can't wait to see it on the shelves, I think it will also eliminate dry skin problems which are caused by stripping of natural moisture by too much chlorine in the water and all other chemicals in the shower/bath gels, well done son.

btw Ludwick there will be a big market for you in Europe, the Euros don't seem to like to wash during winter season and yet they have sanitary fixed with warm water and all, I was shocked when in the UK some of my friends who are teachers talked about how head lice was a problem in schools, cause some parents don't bathe their children, I mean wtf

Well done Ludwick Marishane. At last Zapiro's insulting picture can be removed as our President Jacob Zuma can clear himself from aids without showering. Well done and congratulation.

Akere you people always think that bad things happen to black people in South Africa because of the ANC. No, there are white people who have manga (heel cracks) that I have seen.

During the interview he said atleast one needs to bath once or twice in seven days for the effectiveness of this product. cause it seems like somes people will discard taking a bath completely.

thanks for this bit of information cause it sorts of put things into perspective as I was wondering how is anyone going to not smell by just piling up gel on their bodies and how is this gel alone supposed to eliminate body odour
