South Africa is a country with 11 official languages. Pot PLant Owl followers cover the length and breadth of our country, and around the world too. It is fitting, therefore, to have a little fun in this incubation period by learning a few South African language words and phrases. We've been chatting on Ustream and introducing words, and I promised a list of those we've used so far - here it is:
South African Words
Greetings What it means
Sawubona Hello (Zulu)
Yebo Sawubona Reply Hello (Zulu)

Hamba Kahle Go well (Zulu)
Sala Kahle Stay well (Zulu)
