Sjoe, maar iets het hier gevrek!
Many years ago, I worked on the power stations, and riding on farm roads was nothing out of the ordinary.
It was on such an occasion that my stomach was cramping and when my co-driver got out to open the farm gate, an opportunity for relief arose. The release was short lived when my colleague stopped prior to entering the vehicle to check the sole of both his shoes.
With a contorted face he remarked in Afrikaans, “Sjoe, maar iets het hier gevrek” (i.e. Gosh something died around here). The urge to giggle was repressed and I left him to draw his own conclusions.
