Amanda Strydom – KKNK nuus
“Ek en Lize ken mekaar al sedert 1995. Sy het vyf liedjies van my album, Vrou by die Spieël, saam met my gekomponeer, insluitend die bekende titelsnit. Sy was musikale regisseur van my Hennie Aucamp-kabaret, ‘n Vuur gevang in glas, en ook die produsent van die gelyknamige album waarvoor ons ‘n Sama-nominasie ontvang het vir beste klankbaan in ‘n musiekblyspel.
…Ek bewonder haar groei – as mens en kunstenaar. “
