The article has this sentence:

He has the dubious claim that he has been banned from performing by both pre and post apartheid South African governments.

I'm guessing the writer meant something else, like "he has the dubious honor of having been banned...". Or perhaps "he continues to make the dubious claim that [...] although the South African government denies this."

Banned post-1994?

Taylor's records were certainly prohibited for play by the SABC in the apartheid era, but his web site doesn't make any reference to his being banned from performing by the South African government since 1994 - it seems a touch unlikely given the right to free speech enshrined in the SA constitution.

Title of APD

My 7" copy gives the title as "Ag Pleez Deddy (Ballad of the Southern Suburbs)" whereas the article as stands seems to imply the title and subtitle should be the other way round. --Bonalaw 08:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right, in that case - I was going by the Dictionary of SA English. Humansdorpie 13:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deficient, shallow, incorrect

No mention is made of his teaching English at Eton.

I myself saw him in concert at Wits in 1980 or 1981.
