South Africa

Boer maak 'n plan

It literally means a farmer makes a plan.

It’s testament to the fact that the Afrikaner will figure stuff out. If there’s a problem, he’ll find a workaround. If something is scarce, he’ll find a substitute.
Example

These power cuts are annoying but 'n Boer maak 'n plan.
