Season 3 of the Afrikaans sitcom brings with it a fresh dose of nostalgia, humour, and unmistakably local flavour, making it the perfect moment for two proudly South African favourites to come together. Mr D’s sponsorship of the new season marks a natural fit: both Vetkoekpaleis and Mr D are woven into the fabric of daily life, culture, and community across the country.
Meet Pikkie Mordyk, played by actor Reginald Hufkie, a fictional Mr D driver who’s bringing new energy (and orders) to the beloved world of Vetkoekpaleis. With charm, comic timing, and that signature delivery bag, Pikkie’s arrival signals more than just a plot twist - it’s a celebration of modern South African life.

Why Mr D?
For Mr D, this partnership is all about connection. Vetkoekpaleis isn’t just a show - it’s a shared memory, a cultural touchstone, and a reminder of the warmth, humour, and resilience that define South African storytelling. By stepping into this iconic setting, Mr D is celebrating local love, language, and laughter - all while bringing its modern, on-demand spirit and effortless convenience to the table.
“Vetkoekpaleis is a beloved part of South African TV history, and bringing Mr D into that world felt completely natural,” says Su-Lise Tessendorf-Louw, CMO at Mr D. “Both brands are proudly local, deeply rooted in South African culture, and speak to the everyday moments that connect us. This sponsorship is a celebration of two homegrown icons coming together in a way that just makes sense.”
Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or the new stories, one thing’s for sure: with Pikkie Mordyk in the mix, Season 3 is delivering big.
