Hi
Never been a citizen anywhere other than Britain, but my late mum having been born in Pretoria, from Zimbabwean parents would suggest I could be; My grandparents are sadly also no more, but I have an aunt and an uncle in Harare, and numerous uncles, aunts and cousins in Cape Town and elsewhere.
I haven't been out there since '84, but plan to return very soon, and might even ask about practical opportunities for emigration as I feel a real ache to return.
Have climbed a baobab tree (on its side) and swam in a lagoon in Uvongo, nr Durban. The extent of my Afrikaans is "Skiss, Asseblief"
Tenuous, I know, but hey, can I join?
Asseblief...

Dankie!

Dit is 'n plesier! (It is a pleasure!)
Whoa, my afrikaans isn't too hot, so I'll stop there for the moment.
If at any time you feel 'homesick' , pop in here and post a conversation and one or all of us will be only too happy to chat with you.
Meanwhile, relax and have an 
and 
(the boerewors rolls will have to wait).
