He speaks the truth.
Thing is, you will never understand what it is he is saying if you are not a South African. That spirit of freedom, the feeling of National pride, the wide-open spaces, the bushveld, that feeling of belonging to a single, individual entity.....In Afrikaans we call it 'Gees', the Spirit of the Nation. That was what I found strangely lacking in my time in Scotland.
I could never understand why and still do not. Maybe it can be attributed to the 'Old World thinking' as the bloke in the vid mentions, who knows?
That Spirit I mentioned?
I've found it again.
The overwhelming sense of pride, the camaraderie, the sense of belonging, I thought I'd lost that forever.
I was wrong.
South African by birth, Texan by the Grace of God!As the banner says:
