You know you’re South African when
South Africans, or ‘Saffas,’ as we affectionately call ourselves, are a breed apart. Yes, we’re that combination of colourful, loud, and unapologetically unique. So how do you know you’re South African? Let’s dive into it like it’s a Durban bunny chow after a night out!
Braai is a religion
You know you’re South African when the mere mention of a ‘braai’ (barbecue for the uninitiated) gets your heart racing faster than a taxi in the fast lane. A sunny day? Braai. Rugby match? Braai. Tuesday? Why not… Braai!
‘Just now’ is relative
If you tell someone you’ll do something ‘just now,’ it means anywhere between 5 minutes and 3 weeks. Time operates differently here; it’s more of a suggestion, really.
Traffic lights are robots
No, we don’t live in the future; we just call traffic lights ‘robots.’ And yes, we do know it confuses tourists, but we find it amusing.
Padkos is essential
Going on any journey around South Africa? ‘Padkos’ (road trip snacks) are non-negotiable. From biltong to vetkoek, you pack snacks like you’re preparing for a week-long road trip.
The ‘lekker’ life
If something is awesome, enjoyable, or just plain great, it’s ‘lekker.’ And we use the term for everything. Lekker day, lekker lunch, lekker life!
You’re multi-lingual (kind of)
You throw words from various South African languages into your sentences. ‘Eish, that was a lekker jol, boet!’ And yebo, you feel incredibly proud of it.
You’ve got rhythm
No matter where you are, if you hear a beat, you’re tapping your feet or jamming along. Whether it’s sokkie, kwaito, or Sister Bethina, the rhythm is in your veins.
Soccer, rugby and cricket
You have a favourite team for at least 1, if not all, of these sports. Your passion for sport never wanes.
Saffa friendliness
Whether it’s sharing a joke while waiting in line or helping out a stranger, you’re all about that Ubuntu life.
Loadshedding strategy
You have a well-planned loadshedding strategy that includes gas stoves, lanterns, and board games. You’ve made load shedding into a family bonding exercise.
