For the culturally insensitive South Africans on KB

[placidfemme]

Oi, who you calling a rock?

Haven't heard that in ages....

Thats what all South Africans were called in Zimbabwe... I havn't heard it much here in NZ either...

[V4ME]

Can you remember what South Africans called the Zimbabweans (or actually at that time Rhodesians)? ----- When-we's

me too ........ miss the way the sky usta come over all navy blue mid-afternoons in summer in the Transvaal and all the green foliage usta sorta glow in contrast ........... then the heavens would open and it would TIP down with rain for about half an hour

rain pelting on the tin roof over the back stoep ........ *sigh* was good

was much harder for me to leave africa than it was for me to leave europe ...

Aah yes, the big thunder storms in summer...

I remember watching a few planes heading into Jan Smuts (Jhb International)(or whatever it is now) with the real dark clouds brewing... Awesome sights...

Another place and time... Bloemfontein, with a howling wind, the sky is brown from the dust. This goes on for a few hours, then suddenly it's pouring cats and dogs... Was always interesting when it did that... The thing was, it was that dusty, that you never noticed the cloud build-up...

What I don't miss however, are the dry, brown, dusty winters.

A South African Boertjie is drinking in a London bar when his cellphone
rings .

He hangs up grinning from ear to ear and orders a round for the whole
bar announcing that his wife just gave birth to a 12kg baby boy.

Nobody can believe the weight but the South African just shrugs and
says, "We make 'em big back home folks. My boy's typically South
African".

Congrats are showered on him and many exclamations of "WOW" are heard.
One woman even faints due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later the South African Boertjie returns to the same bar.

Barman says "We were going to call you, everyone's been making bets as
to how much your 12kg son weighs now, so how much does he weigh now?"

The proud father answers that he now weighs 9kg's. The barman is puzzled
and concerned and asks "What happened, he already weighed 12kg on the
day he was born".

The South African father takes a slow swig from his long neck Castle
beer, wipes his lips on his khaki shirt, leans proudly over to the
bartender and

says: "Had him circumcised boet"
