The show "Giovanni Zarrella Presents 50 Years of Roland Kaiser," which was broadcast in February 2024, had to be recorded at the end of 2023 in honor of his career, which has now spanned half a century. On his Instagram account, he shares a video of the shocking moment that the children's companions secretly filmed with him and his wife at the cruise terminal in South Africa's capital, Cape Town. The parents appear visibly surprised in the video, and hold his hands in front of his face, stunned, before he falls wordlessly and beamed. The two celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary on the ship on February 23, 2024.
