Tossie returns for love

After almost 40 years of living in Italy, the Afrikaans radio personality and author, Tossie Lochner (70), is ready to return home later this year - thanks to the love of her life, Martin Snyman of Pretoria. The widowed Tossie met Martin four years ago. Her two children, born in Italy, already live in South Africa. Her son, Leonardo (34), returned ten years ago, and her daughter Sara (36), Italian son-in-law and grandson Teodore returned almost two years ago. Tossie (aka La Boera) is no ordinary ouma - she's written three books about her life in Italy, Tossie Lochner: Italië and Mama Mia! Italië.She's also put on one-woman shows in South Africa based on her books, Tossie Lochner Italië: mites en waarhede. She studied drama in her younger days. When asked where she gets her energy from, she puts it down to her star sign, Leo, explaining that Leos can't sit still. Tossie's one-woman show will be on until the end of May.
