bekend vir sy verse in Griekwe-Afrikaans. As

Namakwaland is ‘n halfwoestynstreek wat baie droog word
voordat die reën kom. Dan moet diere somtyds van vogtige
plante probeer water kry. Die kraai is al so dors dat hy
mankoliekig is en sy pote brand op die sand.
Background
Namaqualand is a semi-desert region that gets very dry before
the rains come. Then animals sometimes have to try to get water
from plants. The crow is already so thirsty that it is rickety, and its
paws burn on the sand.
