Thanks. So one can be reasonably safe to assume a work is in the public domain when the author died in 1932.
What's getting me worried is that I can't seem to find any versions of his works on any of the normal public domain sites. It seems Afrikaans works aren't getting any attention when it comes to digitizing the public domain authors. Gutenberg only has 3 results for the language.
I wonder if it's due to nobody putting the effort into creating them or if other reasons come into play...
