Can anyone think of South African traditions shared by black and white?

Posted on February 22, 2010 by admin


Traditions? I can not say for sure but we all love PAP. Nobody in the world loves PAP as much as we do! And I prefer to eat stywe pap with my fingers. The Germans are not impressed with pap, nor the way I eat it!

    Our passion for sports ( whether it be soccer, rugby or cricket) is so strong, it is almost a tradition.

    None that I can really think of.

    That’s what makes us a great country.
    Xhosa’s, Zulu, Tswana’ and even the whites are different Afrikaaners, Greeks, Portugues and etr.
    There is so much to learn find out about each other.

    I think we are the only country were you can’t define or group our behaviour.
    ^_^

    I think that cool I don’t know about the rest of you guys.

    How about the South African meeting, or imbizo, in which people talk endlessly, wait patiently (or impatiently) for their turn and seem to enjoy the process of debate and argument so much that it wears everyone down and (sometimes) leads to a resolution.
    The tradition of the imbizo is the reason I believe South Africa was able to negotiate its way to democracy and avoid civil war, which (believe it or not) seemed almost inevitable to some pessimists in 1993.
    Braai is good too, and so is the South African obsessive, delerious love of sport. Even rugby haters got behind the Boks during the World Cup in ’95 and the same went for Bafana Bafana in 1996 at the African Nations Cup.
    The World Cup in 2010 will be another amazing chance for South Africans to forget about politics and race, and just party!
