Raised just outside town, Small’s writing gave lyrical force to the Afrikaans spoken in working-class communities - a version of the language rich with identity, rhythm, and soul.
Wellington wasn’t just his childhood home - it shaped his voice, sharpened his sense of justice, and grounded his lifelong commitment to telling stories that mattered. Through his plays, poetry, and public life, he gave Afrikaans space to grow: more inclusive, more human, more honest.
Today, we remember Adam Small not just as a literary figure, but as a voice of the people - one that still echoes in this valley.
