I finally decided to move to Gauteng,but everything is soooo strange(for lack of a better word).I've been living here for 3 whole weeks now,and people here seem to to just explain all these strange ,new things by saying" no man,kuse Jozi la!!!."I honestly do not get it!
People zap you for actually obeying traffic laws(haaa haaa)
Its normal for people to just swear at the cops,I mean where I come from people respect the cops.
All my mkhayas are speaking zulu now,I was shocked when I came across a guy from back home,morolong tota.He greeted me in zulu(sa setswana),and I was shocked,all I could do was wave right back...
Your home language matters,a lot.From my observation,people speak to each other in a certain way if they speak a certain language.
The wig is big in Jozi(Oh my word!!!)I have certainly seen them all,even ones that look like a nest that someone dyed black!!
Getting robbed of your cellphone is some people's daily bread,people look at you funny when I say I've never been robbed,let alone at gun point.
The traffic is a nightmare!!I swear if someone had told me about the traffic 4 weeks ago,I would not have believed them.I probably would have said something like:"tse tsa Jozi di rata maaka man!!
The only explanation that anyone can give is:"Kuse Jozi lana!!!!!!
I'm slowly getting the hang of how things work mo planet Jozi,who knows maybe my next article will be in pure zulu!!!!!
Enjoy,
PS:any advice on how to survive planet Jozi will be highly appreciated!!
