Dullstroom man attempts pole sitting world record

A 51 year old Dullstroom man in Mpumalanga is attempting to break his own world record for pole sitting. That will require Vernon Kruger to live in a wine barrel, perched on a pole, for over 67 days. There have been several attempts worldwide to break the record Kruger set 22 years ago. Two charities will benefit from his latest attempt at a Guiness World Record.
