South Africa's latest world champions

South Africa's latest world champions are two farmworkers. Samuel Juba and Bongani Joel set a world sheep-shearing record by shearing 460 sheep in eight hours. Samuel also set a new shearing record by shearing a sheep in 1,26 minutes. They are originally from Lesotho and went to South Africa in search of work. Samuel has been shearing for 22 years for Frankfort Shearing services, where Bongani also worked until he moved to Cape Mohair and Wool.
