T.T. Cloete
Theunis Theodorus Cloete (1924–2015) was a renowned Afrikaans poet, Bible translator, essayist and academic. In the 1970s he was involved in the revision of the ''Afrikaanse Kerkgesange'' and later in the 1993 translation of the Bible.[1] Cloete was linked to The University of Potchefstroom's (now North-West University) School of Language and Literature. He has won numerous literary awards, including the Ingrid Jonker Prize, W.A. Hofmeyr Prize, Hertzog Prize (twice) and the Andrew Murray Prize. Cloete mostly wrote under the penname T. Jansen van Rensburg (his grandfather's name) and published numerous of his poems in magazines under the penname to test the water before his 1980 debut Angelliera.

gollark: Fair. Hopefully it'll eventually get standardized and they won't be able to go around blocking secure traffic without just disconnecting themselves from the internet. Which they... could still do, I guess.
gollark: Odd of them to block it when it's still in a draft form and not implemented in browsers (or at least not on by default).
gollark: Oh, I looked it up and they're blocking traffic which uses TLS 1.3 *and* the ESNI thing.
