Hi Werma,
I saw your posting on the Afrikaans newsgroup.
I read it regularly because I was born in South Africa.
However, I am a Canadian citizen now and live in Ottawa,
not very far away from you.
I hope people in South Africa will answer you too.
However, I think I could be of limited help. But then you
you will have to tell me a few things.
(1) Are you interested in books about the South African
cultural scene written in English or French only, or
are you looking for samples of the actual language
Afrikaans? (At this stage I would like to remind you
that South Africa now have 11 official languages. So
please do not forget Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho, Pedi,
Venda, Swazi. I hope I have that right. Two East Indian
languages are also recognized as official languages in
South Africa.)
(2) By contacting the South African High Commission
in Ottawa you could probably acquire some material
in the different languages. They will also send you
excerpts and summaries of editorials from South
African newspapers on a regular basis. It may be use-
ful for your school to start getting these. They are free.
If you e-mail me, I can contact them for you and ask
them to send you things.
(3) If you want samples of the language Afrikaans I could
perhaps also help you on a limited basis. I do not have
many Afrikaans books, and would not want to part with
them in any case. But I could e-mail you a number of
poems in Afrikaans, and provide translations for them.
Looking forward to hearing whether I can be of any help.

Het jy al die volgende gelees?
“Die moord van die goeie naam van die Afrikaner
vir vier dekades” deur Kulturele Rampokker
“ Die lyding van die Ware Afrikaners binne en buite
Suid-Afrika wat moes sien hoe hulle geliefde vader-
land deur die modder gesleep word,” deur myself.
“Die gebede van die ware afrikaners binne en buite
Suid-Afrika dat die Heer se seen nou oor almal sal daal
en dat die snipperige witmense wat dink hulle is so
‘smart’ tog maar hulle goed moet vat en loop na erens
in die buiteland, en Suid-Afrika oorlaat aan die mense
wat die land werklik liefhet,” deur myself.
“Terre Blanche” deur Eugene Terreblanche
“Freefall” deur Eugene Terreblanche
“Die dag toe ek in die grond wou sak van die skaamte”
deur Eugene Terreblanche se perd.
Nou dink ek gaan ek begin lees aan een van die boeke wat
jy voorgestel het:
“The Knight of the Rocking Horse and other Tails”
deur Eugene Terreblanche.
