South Africans Abroad

There are supposed to be large numbers of South Africans living in New Zealand and Australia. I only came across traces of them. In Sydney, on the subway, I listened while an Afrikaans mother read out the names of South African animals to her daughter
Dis 'n klipspringer ... 'n steenbok ... 'n slang
It was eerie.

And in Brown Bay, there were butchers seling boerewors and biltong and a South African shop close to the beach. You could purchase your favourite Leon Schuster movie. Or how about that old Rhodesian flag, together with the Orange, White and Blue of the old Apartheid republic?. But to really get that nostalgic taste of home, there is nothing like a packet of Smash instant mashed potatoes. Hmmm. The fine taste of nostalgia.
