I was uncertain whether all the Dutch names should get Dutch pronunciations or Afrikaans pronunciations, as they can be quite different. In the end I went with Afrikaans, or as best I understood it, anyways. Feel free to note corrections in the comments for my future reference.

The authors of this story, rather unfortunately, felt the need to use a word in this story too naughty for youtube. Three times. I recorded it as written, and have posted that version over on Bitchute if you want to go find my channel over there. Otherwise, for purposes of youtube, I replaced the verbode woord with "Africans", but did not specifically re-record the passages in question to fit the word in seamlessly, so when you hear the word "Africans" and it doesn't sound like it fits cleanly in with the neighboring words, that's my drop-in replacement to censor to forbidden word rather than bleeping it out with a noise effect.

It's a shame that I can't trust youtube to give me a pass for reading out of a historical text, but I am not willing to endure the hassle of fighting youtube management over an insane policy. All the more insane since despite the fact that they have banned some creators for using the word, I sometimes get advertisements where the word is used freely and frequently. Why advertisers can use it without problem, but content creators will get kicked off the platform for using it, is impossible to understand, but such is the madness of youtube management. It's amazing what youtube considers to be, or not be, advertiser friendly for content creator monetization purposes, given what advertisers themselves put into ads that yotube gladly accepts for play on their platform. Anyways, enough editorializing...
