An interesting thing happened at the centre of the Little Karoo in July. They stopped selling English newspapers. A month later, the last English Church in the area (my own) turned bilingual. The photo shows St. Luke's Anglican Church, which dropped English a few years earlier -- at the time, one of only two English Churches. OBSERVATION: Someone told me on Saturday that Afrikaans is fast going the same way. At one time, English was a major language in the area.
