Oya no vex, we should not spoil this beautiful thread

I like those ones that dances bare breasts. I also loves khoisan tribe 'cause they got mad asses.

Samantha124:
I thought I should open a thread on how to identify SA tribes by their dance moves just so that you don't have to assume that every SA traditional dance you see it's Zulu dance... .. Because most of y'all only know about the Zulus.

1. I'll start with Zulu, so you guys can check and compare... .. Zulu dance involves a lot of high kicks and sometimes they'd even throw themselves on the floor, if you can do high kicks, then learning the Zulu dance shouldn't be difficult... It's more like traditional aerobics.

2. Swati.. Their dance moves are more laid back and reserved, the ladies would usually dance holding large knives and shields while the men would dance holding Spears and shields.

3. Basotho... With Sotho people, they mainly focus on moving their shoulders when dancing.. .. Sothos in the house, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Their ladies would sometimes dance while on their knees and their men would be holding long sticks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ckW5pOAjRE?si=Vvmnw3-2RpvPxFAD

4. Xhosa... Their dance moves involve a lot of stomping on the floor/ground barefoot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc1gL9l1uP8?si=Q-FVPaWeiQPofuTf

5. Tsonga... With Tsonga dance, one has to move the waist a lot and with the ladies, they have to shake that xhibelani( traditional Tsonga skirt), apparently you're a Tsonga by mistake if you can't move your waist... .. Sho Modjozi's Tsonga traditional music dance would make a great example for this one.

6. Batswana... I don't care what others may think, but Batswana are the best South African traditional dancers in my opinion... When they dance, they usually bend over a bit, make use of their hands a lot( especially with the ladies), make facial expressions, and stomp the floor with their creative dance steps... It's like their dance moves always have a story to tell.

7. Sepedi tribe... With us the Pedis, we're all over the place... .. we do a lot of kicking, back and forth, going left and right, up and down, and running around ( if necessary) .. Sometimes we would lift our hands into the air like we're praying.. Our dance moves are like the contemporary dance done in a quicker pace... Sometimes we would dance in a slower and reserved pace, you just can't predict us...

8. Ndebele tribe... I'm not gonna lie, I don't know much about the Ndebele tribe, but their dance moves seem like a combination of the Swati and Zulu dance because their ladies' dance moves are more reserved like the Swatis while the men's dance moves involve some high kicks like the Zulus... They love blowing whistles too, I just remembered from the time I used to watch traditional music shows with my grandparents...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2fGk2dmMs8?si=_9-_A2eyyuCD3pjd

9. Last but not least, the Venda tribe... The Venda dance involves a lot of jumping up and down and it seems like their dance moves are a bit aggressive, but not in a bad way.

My apologies to the Khoisan people in case they come across this thread, for I couldn't find any videos of their dance moves.

As I saw the topic, immediately I knew is Samantha 🤣.
Let me go and observe

as usual mediocrity from penadogs….. most goals against imbeciles and retaaaards. 😂😂😂😂

lmao lil boy wey just finished nYsc 😂😂😂. You no even sabi where life go carry you go. You better start looking for how to survive and leave banter for ppl wey don already balance in life, else hunger wey go finish you still Dey do press up in Ikorodu. You go see shege. Stay off my mention lil boy.

Hunger will kill who?? dey play!!! My life dosent concern you, whether I'm broke i enjoy it.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂... . Pessi fan boy.

Samantha124:
They're not advertising anything...

gush I think dose girls are so sweet dey look so beautiful. South Africa guys a lucky

I love peace and I love SA.

Just don't let the arab religion be dominant in the country, that way, you guys can keep getting better.

Support israel. stand with Israel, wish her well. It will help you too. The igbos are here to help your understanding of these kinds of situation.

I'm only interested in identifying the tribe with full rounded b**bs.

What’s with this flaunting breast?

All are energetic dances with so much vigor required. Through Africa, we may differ but we share a lot of things in common. Except for the Zulu dance, we'll find tribes in Nigeria that dance in similar ways to these dances.

Once I read SA dance and tribes I rushed here. I wasn't disappointed. 😆

I prefer the Indoni festival

Beautiful colors of Africa.., unfortunately laced with less visible, but even stronger spectrum of xenophobia and brotherhood betrayal. Worse than colonial oppressions that hit us from the outside. This one eats us from the inside.., cancerous to whatever is left of Africa’s health and unity. We celebrate more than cultural colors.

Wow, nice...always liked South African culture (sounds/dance). Funny enough while growing up, we use to think all SA's were Zulu's

NB: does anyone here watch Black Tax..the SA comedy soap on BET?

Karnice600:

No bro, you got that one wrong. The worst type of betrayal is mass murder of 3 million indegenes right after the colonialists leave. Up until today Igbos cannot leave peacefully with the rest because of that very post colonial war. Should we also dive into the Ghana must go saga ? . Or how about modern day slavery "human trafficking " where Nigerian males traffick their girls to Italy , and even worse sell them as slaves to arabs in Libya? . Or how about we talk about Nigerians given an opportunity to come and trade in South Africa but turn on the communities that welcome them by drugging and trafficking their children? Rubbish African unity!. You can't even unite Southern Nigeria to speak with one voice against the North , I won't even mention uniting Nigeria ,but it's a whole Africa you think you can unite? . You're too ambitious for a man in your position . Ridiculous fellow . Narcissists playing victim as always.....what a surprise.

Apologies Samantha ,didn't mean to fck up your beautiful thread just couldn't help myself , I despise hypocrites.

Samantha124:
Sepedi dance of course, why? Because I'm a Mopedi.

The Sotho dance isn't difficult too... As long as I can move my shoulders, then the rest is nothing.

And again with the Swati dance, all I need is a large kitchen knife and a shield, their dance steps don't seem difficult.

And with the Tsongas, I'll first need a xhibelani to test if I can shake it...

if you are mopedi, does SA have a general traditional language that all the other tribes understand? Because I noticed sometime ago in a different topic you communicated with another nairalander from south Africa with traditional writing.

We don't have a general traditional language, most of us understand each other's languages.

even in writing? How possible is that for someone to understand over a dozen language, I see it alot on the internet south Africans writing in traditional language, I always assume it is to be understood by only members of their tribe. So how does every south African understands each other's language, are the various languages taught in schools? Or you pick them up yourselves by association?

Long time no see... Being active on this forum has taught me to just ignore some of these trolls, because they also go around insulting their own people on this same forum and honestly speaking, I don't always have the energy to be going back and forth with them because they're already frustrated and looking for who to take out their frustrations on.

Just like the TheSuperX, he'd be singing SA praises when on other threads, thinking that maybe we're not watching... But immediately he comes across a South African or a thread by a South African, he'll start acting like he's a nairaland major shareholder, like he calls the shots here... And the funny part is that he'll start something he can't finish and immediately he notices that he's being defeated, he'll call the mods hundred times to come to his rescue, but not a single mod would take him seriously...😂😂😂

So some of these people are just frustrated with life and if you always take them seriously, you'll end up frustrated like them.

But it's good to see you...

Marry me dear, I've always wanted a south African woman

I'm a Zulu Lawenawaytuuuu

If you pay close attention to our languages, you'll realize that most of them are related... Let me give an example of when we say "I love you" in some of our languages.

In Sepedi, we say "ke a go rata"
In Zulu we say "ngiyakuthanda"
In Xhosa we say "ndiyakuthanda"
In Tsonga we say "ndza ku randza"
In Swati we say "nyiyakutsandza"

They all rhyme and if you're the patient type, you'll learn them just fine by just associating with the people of those other tribes or by just listening to their music and watching their telenovelas or any TV programs... Because as you read the subtitles, you'll learn a thing or two... That's how I learned Zulu and a bit of Xhosa... I also used to think that Tsonga and Venda are difficult until I started listening to their music and learning their lyrics... So far my Tsonga is much better now and my Venda is still getting there...

I love the way you always bleksem these manipulative hypocrites .Makes me sick to my stomach how these people have done way worse but act like we South Africans are the main course of all miseries in Africa.Damn bottom feeders calling us xenophobic but doing whatever they can to live among us in our country.

Even her mother like this our brother but I did not see Big yansh.

But you can ask other South Africans on this forum.
