 Facts about what makes South African  (in a black person view point)

undefined

Okay a lot of stories have been told and everyone knows a little and a lot, there are some who tell the truth and lies,

Well here are some facts about being a black South African

1) Using more than 5 different languages in a short sentence.

As you know (or don't know), South Africa has 11 official languages, and its really rare to find a person knowing only 2(which is English and the second be  Vernacular , and which we find it easy to communicate that way and we can better our language pronunciation if we learn a new SA language

2) The slang

Each language in South America has its own and a lot can be confusing if you can not follow what is the other saying, but, as i mentioned that one can add different languages in a short sentence, a lot of slangs can be added to shorten the sentence even more and make it sound "cool"/great,

3) parties 24/7

I know you might say "ahh we all do that", i wont argue with that, but im talking about the kind of parties at which when one stops the other comes up, youll hear music playing from day in and day out, whether is Monday, Wednesday or Sunday. But no worries, its not all black community place.

4) the food

I mean i personally love "Sphatlho", i mean its filled with a lot of blends of flavor in it, (its a mixture of bread - French fries - arch-palony - cheese and Vienna with sources like catchup, BBQ sauce and spice, Like this is just the basics of what sphatlho contains

5) The 11 official language

Xhosa, Ndebele, Zulu, Northern Sotho(Sepedi) ￼, Tswana, Venda, Afrikaans, Tsonga, Swati, English, Basotho

Xhosa, Ndebele, Zulu and swati are similarly spoken languages, though they are different and have different cultural backgrounds, but they are similarly spoken

Sepedi, Tswana, Basotho are also similarly spoken but also have a different cultural background

And the rest are differently spoken and have different cultural backgrounds

6) Dance and sing

Every body in every country loves to sing and dance, whether they in a group or individual, everyone just love to sing and dance

But here in South Africa we do things differently

We sing and dance for our ancestors,

During a strike or protest, we sing and dance, i dont mean we dabing, or naenae, we chant, stump and shout what is being addressed

And the rest is what everyone does, sing dance at the parties, concerts. etc.
