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...

Check your local laws and scan away! PD is there in books solely because individuals did the work. (I am a P.D. contributor.....)
