He is definitely on the 'List of the Missed' as he was picked in the DDP in 2017.  However, it does not appear that he was ever on the DeathList.

Thanks for the update, incidentally

 

Might be a few of us chancing a 2019 pick on 86 year old Pik

Guess not.

Dammit, he would have been a good Pik.

Oh let's all just have a little sing-a-long... ALL TOGETHER NOW!!!

 

I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru

I've had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu

I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yetti in Nepal

And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall

I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner

But I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant b***tards

Who hate black people

 

I once got served in Woolies aften less than four week's wait

I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late

I know a public swimming bath where they don't piss in the pool

I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school

I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German

But I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers

Who smell like baboons

 

I've had a close encounter of the twenty-second kind

That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind

I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings

I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings

I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig

But I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths

With no sense of humour - ha ha

 

I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire

At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire

I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies

I met a man in Katmandu who claimed to have two willies

I've had a nice pot noodle but I've never had a poodle

And I've never met a nice South African.

 

No he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising man

Because we've never met one either

Except for Breyten Breytenbach and he's emigrated to Paris.

Yes he's quite a nice South African

And he's hardly ever killed anyone

And he's not smelly at all.

That's why they put him prison.

 

So who is next in line for the title of Token Honorary South African?

Worth noting that the other two people (neither of whom are South African) who are name-checked in I've never met a nice South African, are both still very much alive.
