What comes through so well in the Afrikaner Cameos apart from the often eye-watering humour is the sadness, the pathos of a people whose way of life and the certainties on which it had been built were beginning to crumble in the face of the inexorable forces of change in our Society. As these forces accelerate, these warmly engaging often very funny, sting in the tail but never cruel cameos by Hans Strydom, may yet become a kind of collector's item, a record, in microcosm of a vanishing, uniquely platteland ethos.
