South Africans in Wales

The Amazon delivery guy who stopped by last week was a South African from Durban, my birthplace. As he greeted me, I knew right away, and asked "where are you from?" He grew up in Kloof, where Dale once taught High school. His accent was unmistakably from our part of the world.

We recently bought a drawer set from someone in our town, and found out he was originally from Krugersdorp, in South Africa. He sports Springbok rugby paraphernalia and a S.A. flag emblazoned on a cap or sleeve, but his accent and name, de Kok, are also a dead giveaway.

We gave our local butcher the spices and recipe to make South African sausage (Boerewors, pronounced "Bu-ra-vors.”) and came home with 7kg of it! I need more space in my freezer:  there were 6 packs like this:

Oh man! It's so good
