Who’s your South African of the year? Before you answer‚ I’d just like to point out to any lawyers reading this that I asked about the year‚ not the Year. Because if I’d written ‘South African of the Year’ I would be violating copyright. Oh bugger‚ I think I just did it anyway. It turns out that the phrase ‘South African of the Year’ is a registered trademark owned by Jan Scannell‚ aka Jan Braai‚ the man behind National Braai Day. Because‚ as we all know‚ nothing screams nation-building like ring-fencing language for commercial use. Anyway.
