Thanks Graham!
Picked this one up on Reditt:
The Saffer walks into the Aussie petshop, buys some stuff and when he leaves he says "baie dankie, baie dankie!"
Puzzled, the Aussie replies:
"Sorry sir, we don't sell donkeys..."
I can comment on donkeys on SP, yes?

it comes from the late 80's, early 90's when the young SA whites left for the UK, Aussie etc. It was a derogatory term used by the locals at the time ( think about it ) and it has stuck as a "term of endearment" ever since. My step dad was SA in London and I got served by many "Saffers' at the bar back then, all good

I had the privilege to know them and also to socialize with them at family events when I was engaged to their nephew Ted Wade. They were a very kind, loving and very humble. Our condolences go out to their family. God

Model Man – A Legend Of The Turf
I agree, especially that he was named South Africans first Equine Millionaire. With regards to the Met, yes that’s true. The family decided to fly him down for the race. Great

Two Boks Step Out In The Super Bowl On Saturday
And then locally on Saturday, Dave the King is priced up as 3/1 fav for the Charity Mile. He is asked to carry 63kg.
That must be the worst bet in the history of horseracing

A sad day indeed. My meeting Val & Ralph goes back to Garnerton Race Course in Kitwe, Zambia. Ralph was a leading trainer in Zambia. I recall his winning a major race with a horse called Quarterdeck.

Long time since we had horses with the (SAF) indicator at such a prestigious meeting.
Anybody know how it happened that expat South Africans came to be nicknamed Saffers in the UK and Australia?
