(The original text, in Afrikaans)
"Dit was Aliwal se Ambulans in die sestiger jare. Dit is al meer as 20 jaar in Thabu Prinsloo se besit en het hy dit bewaar gehou. Dit is 'n 1964 model VW Kombi. Van die ouer mense sal dit seker nog onthou. Thabu het dit nou aan 'n versamelaar in Kaapstad verkoop, wie dit gaan restoureer. Mooi nê!?"
(I have translated the original text, from Afrikaans to English)
"It was the Aliwal Ambulance during the sixties. It's been for more than 20 years in the possession of Thabu Prinsloo and he kept it preserved. It is a 1964 model VW Combi. The older generation will certainly remember it. Thabu sold it to a collector in Cape Town, who will restore it. Beautiful hey!?"
