Is this how South African people of English descent speak? Graeme Smith, Shaun Pollock, and Whackhead Simpson sound pretty different - something between a UK and an Australian accent. The names of characters seem to be of English origin. I am Indian, not South African, but I think that the characters have been force fitted with an Afrikaans accent when they're obviously of English descent. Ps: I love all your work, the effort you put in, and the authenticity quite well. You did Indian accents quite well in the Sign of the four.

*Watson:* _(narrating)_ Holmes’s quiet day in the country had a singular termination, for he arrived at Baker Street late in the evening with a large ice pack on his forehead, besides a general air of dissipation which would have made his own person the fitting object of a Scotland Yard investigation. *Salem Saberhagen:* _(as Holmes)_ We had got as far as this when who should walk in but good old Mr. Woodley, who had been drinking his beer in the taproom and had heard the whole conversation. Who was I? What did I want? What did I mean by asking blah, blah, blah? Quite big language he used back there; his adjectives were very... um, _vigorous._ He ended a string of abuse by a vicious stomp to the loose floorboard I was on, catapulting me into the ceiling. The next few minutes were delicious. It was a slogging ruffian against a scratchy little ball of fur, and I don't mean the itchy kind. I emerged as you see me. Mr. Woodley went home with bandages running from noggin to neck. _(one of his catchphrases)_ He-he-he...
