Looking for Johnny September

Alice's Pub is a small bar in Uitenhage. When I walked into the place late one night I noticed a distant pi;:1.use in the jovial din. Even the one-man band stopped playing (I think) and I could feel the suspicious stares turning to me from every side. This sudden lull must have lasted only a few seconds. But to me it felt like an eternity.
The barman was an elderly, stern-faced man. He looked at me with annoyance when I leaned over the counter to order a beer. (The loud noise and music left me no choice.) Probably not every day that a white man walks into your bar and orders a drink, I thought. And a white man with a Transvaal accent to boot.
I looked around. The place was full. On a bench in one corner a man lay on his back. Life's burdens had become too heavy to bear and he was sleeping his cares away The one-man band - a young guy with. greasy hair and an earring - played sentimental songs from the sixties. A small group joined in lustily in the singing.
'So what brings you here?' a young man next to me asked out of the blue. He had an open, friendly face and short-clipped hair. He took my beer and a glass from the barman and passed them on to me.
'.Just passing through,' I lied, foaming up my glass with beer. He gave me a sidelong glance over the rim of his glass.
'You know something,' he said eventually, making sure that I did not avoid his- gaze, 'you're the first whitey ever to walk into this place. Why the Alice? Why not an all-white pub?'
'Apartheid's dead,' I reminded him quietly. 'It's a new South Africa. We've had our elections. And now a man can go and drink where he pleases.'
'True.' he smiled. 'But don't we all prefer to be with our own kind?'
'Not necessarily. Even though I am a Transvaler.'
'I realised that,' he said. 'Anyway, let me not disturb you. Enjoy your drink.'
As he turned to go I put my arm on his shoulder. He turned and, for a moment, looked at me scornfully. 'Don't tell me you're ... '
'No, no,' I assured him. 'I'm a newspaper man ...' He gave me a disbelieving frown.
'... an investigative reporter for Beeld, in Johannesburg.'
He relaxed a little with a smile that seemed to say, I'll be your pal if you'll be mine.
'A reporter.' From the way he pronounced the word it was clear that newspaper people were held in high esteem in the Eastern Cape.
'I need some help.'
'What about?' he said, uncertain.
'Well, you know, we're living in a new South Africa, the old one is dead and gone, that sort of thing ... '
He gazed at me through earnest eyes, but a smile played around the corners of his mouth.
'We're planning to do a series, on, er, coloured, brown people, if you like, who have sacrificed just as much as blacks and whites for the new South Africa. We ... the newspaper ... wonder if we couldn't talk to the parents, the family and friends of people who fell under the old regime?'
The smile melted from his lips.
'What's your name?' he asked after a long pause.
Suddenly my own mouth felt dry 'Christiaan Louw.'
'And they call you Tiaan?' he asked and laughed. I didn't laugh, but I was glad he found it funny. 'And you?'
Joubert. Frankjoubert.'
I ordered more beer. At first he was hesitant about accepting his but took it in the end.
'You know,' he said later, 'it's the first time I ever had a drink with a whitey, but ... well, you're actually not bad for a whitey.'
In between beers we arranged that I would pick him up at his house the next day – after lunch.
