Often vocally compared to iconic South African singer Bles Bridges, Gerrie Pretorius is considered somewhat of platinum hit-making machine. Kick-starting the trend with his debut album, Annemarie my Skat, the Mosselbaai vocalist has since racked up handfuls of these prestigious silver discs, in addition to receiving a South African Music Awards nomination. Fans have also gotten to see a different side to Pretorius as the host of the popular kykNET travel programme Leef Jou Reis.
