Fort Lauderdale
(The Ballad Of André Stander)
Original version (1990) (recorded from vinyl)
1999 re-recording
André Stander was an 80's cult-figure, bankrobber and ex-police captain. Stander was the leader of the notorious Stander Gang who in the early eighties robbed more than 40 banks in a spate of robberies in and around Johannesburg netting as much as R150 000 in one day. The gang's life of money, women, fast cars and an attempt to escape with a yacht from Cape Town harbour grabbed the attention of South Africans, many openly defending the gang's criminal antics. Stander was killed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.
