Don't forget the 'gauties', who all used to be 'vaalies'. Not strictly
for Afrikaaners, since they are distingished by GP (Gauteng Province
aka Gangsters Paradise) or the old T (Transvaal) licence plates on their
BMW[1]... 'Kykdaar' was another favourite.
"Welcome to Durban. Now go home." was a favourite bumper sticker. I
can't remember what the Cape Town version is.
It's funny how ingrained it is into SA culture though. Monday I was at
a party in Washington DC, and the six South African's in the crowd are
refering to each other as 'rooineks' and 'rocks' while eating biltong
made in LA, and lamenting not being able to get a Castle...
Is my count of now 8 ZA'ians right?
