7de Laan’s Hilda on SABC2 and the voice of Heidi turns 70 today.


7de Laan's "spinnekopvroutjie" Hilda and the voice of Heidi celebrates her 70th birthday today with actress Annelise Weiland celebrating 7 decades with a special black-and-white cake.

The actress has been part of the Danie Odendaal Produksies produced show on SABC2 since the first episode, becoming a household name with her "hartjie", "serpie"-scarves and continuing her journey with a recent reinvention and style-makeover including a shorter haircut as well as a different story arc after the character of her husband Oubaas played by Pierre van Pletzen was written out of the soap.

Also the Afrikaans dubbed voice of the iconic Heidi animation character constantly in reruns on South African television, 7de Laan surprised Annelise Weiland with a cake and congratulating her on the milestone birthday, saying "Annelisa, today we celebrate everything that makes you so special".

"You are described as a generous friend and colleague who always remembers others. You have a solid work ethic and a hilarious sense of humour. Our warmest wishes on your 70th birthday, may you be blessed with love and peace in abundance!"
