That's fascinating; I'm half South African, speak Afrikaans and have never heard of it before. I can hardly imagine a more lame place to live, growing up in stuffy Pretoria in the 90s was bad enough.

My family emigrated to New Zealand because of the crime, corruption, constant blackouts etc. There are quite a few saffers there, especially in Brown's Bay (which is sometimes called Boereworsbaai).
