Subject: LL-L South African connection?



Hi LL-Lers, and Afrikaners in particular,

I was looking at someone's web profile, and as caption for a picture, she
had put: "mijn dochters aan het werk op school voor nieuwe speeltoestellen
te bemachtigen". Now, this construction with "voor" is incorrect in Dutch.
However, it struck me as Afrikaans. Would a construction like that with
"voor" be allowed in Afrikaans? Or not?

good gaon,
Hendrik van den Draod
