Cape Town’s ‘dancing guardjie’ could land a smoking sponsorship deal
Cape Town’s most popular dancing taxi guard‚ or “guardjie”‚ Nathan Swartz‚ could land himself a smoking hot advertising deal after he was contacted by a major cigarette brand.
Swartz‚ who is known for the sultry dance moves which he performs in traffic on highways and at intersections‚ shot to fame recently after passengers started filming him dance.
Nearly 20 videos posted on social media of the Hanover Park resident entertaining passengers and road users alike‚ have been viewed over 250‚000 times.
“They asked me if I would change my [cigarette] brand and I think it has to do with their advertising‚” the man better known as “Diempie” said of the approach from the company. “They said they would get back to me [on Monday].
“Last week I also did a show with comedian Waashief Piekaan‚ where I had to do my dance.”
Swartz‚ who has been a “guardjie” for seven years‚ has also been invited onto radio shows with people wanting to know exactly what motivates him.
