Regtig Annette!
I wonder why he didn't mention all the coloureds in the beauty parlours trying
to get white through their creams - shades of Jeremy Taylor if you are old
enough to remember that!
When I read these messages I would be happier if the messagers added their last
paragraph in Afrikaans to prove they are who they say they are.
Ek is Engels maar ek was in die koskool in Wellington in 1948, ek leer
Afrikaans maar in vier en viftig jaar ek veet nie Afrikaans noe nie. :-)
