@mohikamo same, same.
@W32 my ou Ouma was not a Smuts. She was just a young girl, like a lot of other young boer children, who was placed in a concentration camp.
Chose Smuts as a handle because it’s a nickname we used to give guys who bitched and moaned. Can’t remember why we used Smuts for whingers. But it works:
“Fucking porridge for breakfast again? Aah man, it’s cold and lumpy.” “Shut up Smuts.”
“Fucking one eyed ref screwed us again.” “Fuck off Smuts - you blew a three man overlap.”
“It’s colder than a witch’s tit. I’m freezing my ballas af.”
“Shut up Smuts, you wanted to go skiing.”
Seemed fitting as a South African joining a kiwi forum.

@Smuts Sappe vs Natte. Way back in the past. My broer het verongeluk by Kloovenburg. Vrou het gewerk by die Kelders , Piet Spiere was die voorsitter en het saam my broer gedien op die rugbyklub. Good old days.
Bloody hell, I just about understood that. Must be longterm Oom-mosis.

My brother had a --don't know what this is but sounds bad -- at Kloovenburg (is by a preposition or a village?). Not sure 'Vrou' is my Frau? Worked with Piet Spiere (who was a boss?) at my brother's rugby club?
Those 3 words got me confused, but am I roughly on target? Oh, don't know 'gedian'.

@nostrildamus not bad. Kloovenburg is the family farm of Piet Spiere, grand dad of PSdT. Kloovenburg.com
Vrou = Mrs.

Not the one to be played on neutral territory
