Thumbs up

I would like to share the following with you (as my time here is running out).

The World is small.... very small ..

26 years ago I met a great guy.

I was as Afrikaans as a boertjie you can be and get. From the West of Pretoria oke's ...ok well towards the North -West (just a little bit better)
The only English I knew was to tell the Rooinekke and Soutpiele they are sheit. Yes my parents and all still came from the era of English vs Afrikaners ... consentration camps the lot.

He was from Durban. Needless to say he did not know what Afrikaans was

We clicked from day one in our own way.

We agreed to helpeach overcome this "burdon" by him speaking Afrikaans and me helping him and vice versa.

This changed my life and outlook that I had re Soutpiele.

Over the years we split apart but started making contact again about 10 years ago ... it so happens that he helped me getting a business up and running via a good referral.

The same Soutie is now coming up for us Afrikaners ...

Thank you 4HP Thanks for the past 9 years (first two on different names ) Also for the past 26 years ... hope to see you in December for the reunion.

The Wheel turns. Thanks mate.

God Bless you.
