26d Among other males, these South African ones would make dynasties (3) O?S

Should be so simple, but I can't see it, or see the word play for all the possibles!?

Any help/explanation please?

ous inside Hes (other males) would give Houses (Dynasties) but i can't find much about "ous" except for this,(scroll down to "12. Bruin Ou")

Yes. Ou is SA guy or bloke. (Been there, heard it myself.) :)

tricky clue, having the definition in the middle but thanks to Mamya and Aristo i think it must be right.
Aristo, is it pronounced like ooze?

No. Ou is pronounced as a long O- as in...O!

Reminds me... A couple of years ago my wife decided to try the GPS she'd had sitting in her car for ages. She called me while on the road and said, "Listen to this! I can't understand what he's saying." I said, "That's because he's speaking Afrikaans." Lovely language, I think; they seem to have worked the bugs out of Dutch. And re SA: I've never seen so many good-looking people in one place. Ixion would tell me that it's because I'm so used to seeing all those American butts so big they have their own gravitational fields.
