I realise that many people don’t speak English as a home language. It is understandable that people want to advertise their services in English, the most commonly understood language in South Africa. What I don’t understand is how a printing company can execute a print run of (presumably) thousands of flyers without noticing a glaring error in the very first line of the advertisement.
In my job I often have customers asking me to do stupid things. Part of my job is to explain why these things would be ineffective or detrimental. Failure to do so, as I have discovered, leads to unhappy customers. Unhappy customers expect me to rectify any mistakes, even if I was simply doing as they asked. Clearly, I should have joined the printing industry.
Sakkie, old chap, I hope that you get some customers as a result of me posting your flyer here. Then I hope you get a new proofreader and printer.

No, it don’t. However, my lands do need tilling and it looks like Sakkie is just the man for the job.
Poor Sakkie
