Vaatjie Gets Owned

Vaatjie Visagie has a passion for eating and for cooking. He is enrolled at the Chefs Training College, where they compete for top honours. The grand prize is an internship at a famous restaurant in Paris, France. Vaatjie is miles ahead of his class, and this upsets a classmate, James. James constructs a plan to get rid of Vaatjie. Vaatjie is consequently found guilty of theft and possesion of “grass”, and he faces the prospect of going to jail. This is too much for him and flees the country in a stolen light aircraft. He doesn’t get far. In Botswana he gets arrested for smuggling currency. After having lost almost everything, including his clothes, he is redeemed by the intervention of the school’s principal Mrs. Mammabolo and her security guard Sakkie. In the end Vaatjie not only gets the much promised trip to France but also the newfound love of his life.
