Slowly please, for students
Wow, first of all, it is a very big country. Very very dynamic, so many cultures, so many races, it is described as the Rainbow Nation. And it’s because of all the diversity that is in South Africa. So, first of all, there’s like 11 official languages. Already that tells you about the number of people and the amount of diversity in that country. So, first of all, it’ll be a very diverse country. You cannot go to South Africa and have one viewpoint and expect it to stick. You always have to keep an open mind, for different things to come to you. So, I guess that would be a starting point. And then, because it
is so big, every area is just so different. Cape Town is very different from Johannesburg. Cape Town is quieter. Things move a bit slower. Johannesburg is fast-paced. Everything is fast; people are moving hustle-bustle all the time and… because nobody really comes from Johannesburg essentially, it’s almost like a lot of people come from all these different places and sort of settle in Johannesburg.
You then get so much diversity from one city, one small place, so um, very different, very diverse, very multicultural, multiracial.
Please don't be disappointed to hear my American accent! I could have done a fake South African accent if you really wanted it :)
