“RETURN OF THE CHICKEN-RUNNERS/CHICKENS”
FROM “ROOINEK TO “ZOLJOLLER”???
“How do I live in this strange place?”
– Bernoldus Niemand, from the Boer reggae song, ‘Reggae Vibes is Cool’.
A ‘rather wacky’ (“bedonderde mal” and nostalgic look and what I miss about SA life living ‘in exile’ in quiet and tranquil 'little' New Zealand on the other side of the planet… as a new democratic South Africa is being born.
*
First part of story written from perspective of a rather straight white South African, who emigrates, meets with some sort of accident, loses his memory and later returns home with a very liberal and radically changed outlook. Becomes friendly with several Africans in the New SA, goes partying with a group of them, gets “blotto”, dreams he’s an African…story of his adventures in dreamland.
A nostalgic look at current developments and transformation in the New South Africa... always "the Beloved Country"
"maljan" April in the year 1995
