…en dit is ’n foto van my in Suid-Afrika

A reader has pointed out that, in all my posts on South Africa, those who frequent this little corner of the web have not seen so much as a single shot of your humble & obedient scribe in that southerly land. Such lack of photographic evidence, our correspondent argues, could provoke a wealth of conspiracy theories locating me, alternatively, within the deep recesses of the Vatican, training a small fighting force in the Salzkammergut, or, somewhat implausibly, in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

(In truth, I have very, very few pictures of myself, as I am usually the one taking the pictures — some of which are electronically submitted for your approval here.)

And so, dear readers, you will find above a photograph of yours truly on one of my trips to Betty’s Bay, that splendid corner of the Cape.

This could be photoshopped. Let the wild conspiracy rumpus start.

Verskoon my Mnr. Cusack, maar die sin is ‘n klein bietjie verkeerd. Dit moes “…en dit is ‘n foto van my in Suid-Afrika…” wees. U het u tale ongelukkig ‘n bietjie “opgemix”.

Ek is ‘n onderwyser so dit is in my bloed om “pedantic” te raak. Jammer.

Bak fotos, nogal! Baie dankie.

Nee, Mnr Allen, ek is jammer vir my arme kennis van die taal!

Nie “pedantic”, net akkuraat!

You’re too small to be seen. Modesty, I presume.

Nice shirt although a yellow sweater would be better.
