Tap here for a flashback to a gallery of pix from the night: 7de Laan's 4000th episode birthday party pics The statement from Danie's family: Farewell to Danie Odendaal - Honouring a Life of Creativity, Humour, and Lasting Impact It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Danie Odendaal who died peacefully on 30 October 2024, in Langebaan, where he resided for the past 6 years, with his beloved wife, Annie Odendaal. Danie lived a life full of creativity and warmth, quietly shaping the world around him through his story telling. Known for his humour and wit, he had a way of speaking his mind that inspired those fortunate enough to know him. His contributions to television and theatre in South Africa paved the way for countless others, and his legacy shines brightly through 7de Laan, a beloved soap opera that captured the hearts of so many. It stands as a lighthouse to his artistic spirit and people-first approach. Danie Odendaal was a respected Producer, Director and Writer who has dedicated 45 years to Film and Television in the South African Entertainment Industry. Danie is a decorated academic with both local and international academic achievements at its highest level. 7de Laan is Danie’s life legacy - South Africa’s number 1 Afrikaans Soap Opera with English subtitles and it remains SABC 2’s most integrated television program. His work in production has yielded numerous awards and recognition at national level. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Thandi Ramathesele, a friend and business partner to Danie, who held his dreams and vision for 7de Laan close, honouring his legacy with dedication and respect. Our thanks also go to Candice Moodley - who was much like a daughter to Danie and Annie - who cared for Danie's well-being and managed his portfolio with grace, bringing comfort to his later years. He leaves behind his life partner and wife Annie and the entire 7de Laan family, cast, crew fans and viewers who loved and admired him. Danie will forever be remembered for his kindness, humour, and creative spirit. You were all in some shape or form, his family. ----- RIP Danie.
