Hi Gabzie, no I have (not yet) visited SA but have met numerous people both black and white from SA who have been so very nice. Sometimes I read in the newspapers negative things about SA but I cannot imagine that these stories are true because the South Africans I have known are incredibly nice.
I live in the southern part of the US but have spent much of my life in central Europe. I have heard so much about the Cape Province, Natal and Transvaal in SA that I feel that I "know" these places.
Question: Are Dutch and Afrikans mutually understood? The two are very close linguistically? Languages interest me.
Gabzie, I hope you and your family are safe from the virus. Be careful!
