Actually his father was Canadian and left Canada because he found the country to be in “moral decay” and chose SA as his new home. Apartheid being the moral high ground and all.

Edit: My memory tricked me. It was in fact his grandfather Joshua Haldeman, who left Canada for the utopian SA. My bad.

I didn't know his father was Canadian born! The fact that he moved to SA and got into mining says a lot more now. Thanks!
