Bergie stories!?

Years ago a guy I knew in Claremont woke up one morning to find a bergie living in his garden punduk (shed). The first day he was tolerant and offered the guy bread, jam tea and ten bucks to clean up the garden... and then go. On the second day the bergie was still there but now with a friend, this time the guy asked them if they could please leave, but they got R20 to clean up the pool and stoep. On the third day the two bergies were still there at which point the man started to get mos afgepis,

"You can't stay here any longer, this is my garden not a hostel for BERGIES", he said rather angrily!!!!!....

"Ons is nie bergies'ie, ons is mos SQUATTERS! was the reply.....

I gotta admit, I kind of like the old fashioned bergies you used to find in and around Obs, relatively harmless and with a sense of humour you couldn't beat....!

Any other bergie stories.....?

Whats a Bergie.
Reply:A certain church in Cape Town served free tea and sandwiches after the sermon on Sundays. This free meal led to quite a number of "converts" among the Bergie-community.

One Sunday morning a ( rather naive) rich lady asked one of the Bergies during tea and samies: "So, what do you do for a living?"

The man didn't quite know what "Bergie" was in English (partly because there is no English word for it) and replied :"I'm a mountaineer."
Reply:A few years ago a man and a woman came knocking at our door. I was sort of expecting them to ask for food or money, so it came as a bit of a surprise when they asked us if they could sleep on our porch for the night. At a loss for words my parents agreed. They started pulling out rolled up matresses and squated on our porch for the night, with candles for light and all.



When we woke the next morning they had left.

I was standing outside the swimming pool at the top of Long street. There were two bergies sitting on the steps in the doorway when a girl walked by.

Naturally the two both gave very feeble whistles.

The girl turned around and said. Hey, weet jy,jou gesig lek.



By the way I lived in Oranjezicht all my life from the age of 10 and a friend of mine also had a bergie in her garden for ages.
Reply:Nice one, that. We used to have endless entertainment with these characters while living in Observatory, Cape Town, and later in Oranjezicht.



We had borrowed my parents combi camper for the weekend, and left it parked on the pavement on Sunday night. On Monday morning, the small window on the passenger side had been broken and on the foot mat a huge poo had been made ! Spose a bergie used the "portable house" for his amenities.
