Never

I actually have a Facebook close friend from S.A. . . we have known eachother for like 5 years now

If i hadn't met him, I could've never planned to visit S.A. I have some really bad memories about your country. You and Xhosa have changed it some how but. . .

Okay

So you're a time traveller you can have a bad memory of a country before you actually visit? ...jokes aside,what bad things have you heard about SA? be completely honest,I won't bite.

XhosaNostra:
Ha! When did this happen?If whatever killed her is contagious, then I support their motion. We can't risk the lives of many out of sentiment. Too bad.

Understood.

About a week or two.True,the family might feel it's not a proper send off according their religious and cultural beliefs but it is what it is...

XhosaNostra:
True @ the kitchen thing. I have my lazy days too where I tell myself to take several seats because I'll be so tired & bored of repetitive chores.

...and watch TLC all day

ednited:
You see now? If we kept fighting. . . we wouldn't turn out to learn from eachother. I admitted my statement was incorrect and you agreed to let go. That is how Africans should treat eachother

I have never seen any one getting smaller when they say sorry or forgiven someone.

You have spoken all of it.Sometimes there is nothing wrong with few expletives being exchanged tho,some of us are warmongers who thrive on chaos I would have left this forum long time ago if it was all lovey-dovey and all that African love rhetorics.


Anyway,Ed,have you ever been to South Africa?

ednited:
Actually, it was Runalong who tagged them into this thread. And it was all because of me.

XhosaNostra and Jaceblaze were very ready to hit me with an axe that moment

Perhaps you might remember me as Jayceon .I was here from the very very beginning and if I remember correctly,you and I have crossed blades before in the early pages.Anyway,I don't hold grudges over internet squabbles so....

XhosaNostra:
Lol, no I'm not that extreme. I do however start cleaning as soon as visitors leave. I can't explain it, but I need to feel a familiar feeling about how clean something is It's annoying sometimes because I can't really have peace of mind until I'm in that "familiar" zone. A small thing out of place, even if it's a crumb, gets me feeling anxious & restless until I clean it up My mum had the extreme kind of OCD though. Never actually relaxed. Always on the move cleaning something. She even polished taps with brasso! Hahaha.

And you still say you not that extreme? .Well I personally am not that much of a neat freak but one thing I can't tolerate is dirty dishes,or the kitchen as a whole looking like a pigs sty.I mean that's a part of the house that is in full view of everyone who comes in so it needs to be super clean all the time.

XhosaNostra:
Oh wow, sorry about that. Ever had it checked out?

My brother has advised me couple of times to get it checked up but I avoid clinics & hospitals like rash,so I never went.It doesn't happen every time it's not tho,but I expect it.


Speaking of dying in foreign countries,have you heard the story of a South African woman who died of an illness she contracted while working in the Bahamas? and they refused to send her body back to SA because of fear that the corpse might spread it.Apparently she will be cremated there and her family will never see the body.

XhosaNostra:
Lol, spoken like a pampered cheeseboy

NOTHING like that.It's a serious condition I have been living with for years.

XhosaNostra:
Just buy one of those big plastic washing baskets. They make the work easier.

Well Jace, I have a mild case of OCD, so I wash them once to twice a month. It depends on how they "feel". Even if they don't visibly look dirty, I'll still wash them if they feel dirty lol.

I see,dirt really repulses you Neh? let's hope you not one of those people who ask visitors to leave their shoes at the door before they enter your house ,personally,I find that VERY offensive.I know the "feel" you are talking about,as soon as the smoothness and silkiness is covered by sweat the blankets start to feel like they are always wet,isn't it?

TayserMahri:
You quoted me dude!

I just noticed.I thought you were Nostra

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Ewwww. Wash your own blankets. Just step on them with both feet & then put them in a washing basket to drain out the water. At least that's how I do it. It's much easier that way.
Jace, the hardest part was picking up the wet blankets from the ground up, then I had to go up the stairs with them. I was whizzing like a steam train I was finished!

Lol I have been postponing washing them,those things are heavier than a Ford truck engine when wet.Maybe I should install wheel and axel to help me lift them out of the water when I wash them

Lol @ whizzing like a steam train.How many times do you wash them in a year?

XhosaNostra:
I was still a child though lol. The story just appealed to me & remained with me for a very long time, probably because we were about the same age. By that I mean Comfort & myself

Is it not hot in Morocco? It looks hot. Well, I don't think I'd live in a place with hellish temperatures either. But to visit, no doubt.

Aren't you a child anymore? lol just joking.I get you


I don't know hot it is in Morocco but I assume the temperatures may be more tolerable than how they are in West Africa.My nose bleeds when temperatures hit 35+ degrees,so hot weather is my kryptonite.I sweat excessively and become extremely weak.

TayserMahri:
GADDAMN! Which girl

Her

TayserMahri:
Jace, ever felt the pleasant smell that comes from the ground immediately it starts raining? Man that thing orgasmic! Just learnt it has a name they call it petrichor.

Yeah I know the smell ,it's basically a combination of dusty/dry soil and water.Goddamn girl! you and I tend to love the same things

XhosaNostra:
Kai! You didn't even build a smallanyana snowman
I don't like hailstorms lol. Last time one happened, last year, it ruined my day. I was pissed! Imagine I had just done my laundry & even washed a couple of blankets for good measure. Next thing, it just started raining out of nowhere. Huge balls of ice. It rained hard for about an hour. By the time it was done, everything was on the floor, covered it dirt. I won't lie, I shed a tear because I was just beside myself with anger & frustration. Had to throw away one blanket because the shit on it wouldn't come out.

Haha no,can't built a snowman with small pieces of solid ice.

How can the hailstorm be so cruel to my poor baby .That's bad,do you know how hard it is to wash one blanket and wring it to the form of koeksisters?...and then have it fall off the washing line and then have to rinse it again?

You must come and wash my blankets,they all sweaty and Jayceon is too lazy to wash them?

XhosaNostra:
Apparently it means "God forbid".

Very safe but sensible picks lol. I love Morocco too, btw.

I've been an avid reader most of my life, so once upon a time I read a book called Comfort Herself, it was set both in London & Ghana. I loved the book so much that I probably read it 100s of times. It told a very descriptive story of how life was like in Ghana, through the eyes of a little girl from London. Reading it was like a journey of discovery for me too since I knew nothing of the world outside of S.A at the time. So for me, It'd be Ghana. Comfort lives on

God forbid,we learn everyday.

Damn,you must really have strong imagination if you can just fall in love with a place you've never been to just by reading about it.I think I have seen pics of Accra posted here and the city looks stunning,not a bad pick.For me I just don't know if I would come back alive under those extremely hot West African temperatures.

XhosaNostra:
That's pretty. Let's gossip...shhhhh...Nigerians post pictures of hail stones & call it snow

Don't tell them I said that

Speaking of Hail,I took this picture 1 hour after the rain had stopped.It was 2017 if my memory serves me right.

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Tufiakwa!
Bros, de tin fit make pesin get nightmares ooo

Speaking of different nationalities. If you weren't South African, which other nationality would you choose, in Africa?

Una Pidgin vocab dey just keep expanding,abi.Wetin be "Tufiakwa"


Mhmm,interesting question.I would choose Botswana for the fact that it would be easy to assimilate into their society because of their language that is also spoken in SA,and not to mention that crime is almost non existing over there.

My second option would definitely be Morocco for how highly developed the country is.

you? which would it be?

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Yeah, that's what I read this morning. All the best to them.

They deserve it,they got the whole country laughing.

XhosaNostra:
Watch as e dey snow anyhow as if na movie we dey in Chai! Diaris God ooo & he loves South Africans. Don't you forget that!

Una Pidgin be so good Wey dey confuse person for a naija pikin.Trade your ID in at home affairs and comot for naija Jare!

XhosaNostra:
Hahaha. JaceBlaze, have you seen the Woolies Water Challenge? Too funny.

I have seen it.

"exquisite"..."metamorphosis"

Woolworths even wants to use them for its next advertisements.

zhike:
I 100% agree with you. where will you start if you want build Nigeria?, Nothing is working in Nigeria. no proper tar road, no clean water for many citizens, no electricity for many citizens, no good health care, no fair election, etc.

It's all up to them...

zhike:
Nigerian government must put their egos down and ask South Africa to help them to build Nigeria. if you can't beat them, join them.

Rebuilding a rubble like Nigeria ain't easy-peasy.Where does one even begin in a country where nothing seem to be functioning? they always brag about superior intellect,surely they don't need South Africans to help them.

The design looks ordinary though.Something like Dubai's Burj Khalifa would have been a sight to behold.Good development anyway

sufferNsmiling:

Come on! your nationality at this point is that x in mathematics,unknown...

14:
And your point is?
Ndebele and Zulu are way different languages, let alone Zimbabwe Ndebele, which is totally a different dialect compared to the SA ndebele.

Zimbabwe ndebeles are not South africans, we know they try hard to fit in, but they can never be South Africans.

The guy you just quoted claims to be Nigerian but something tells me that he is Zimbo.Just few days ago I posted a Zim flag here and said it's the ugliest in Africa,he came swinging at me for that comment.He is still testing the water before he decides which nationality to go by.

XhosaNostra:
True @ the 1st part.

LMFAO @ rubber lips. I don't pay attention to that. Yes, I love a manly man. Beefy & hairy

Oh okay,then I guess Mampintsha is a perfect fit for you.

XhosaNostra:
Lol @ they carry logs. In my area if you're up early, you see them going to work carrying handbags which are strangely at odds with their usual outfits I like their work ethic though. They're always punctual.

Hmmm..good taste. KK exudes power & masculinity. That's attractive.

Haha their fashion sense is always odd.True,and they're also super obedient in the workplace.I guess being aware that they in another country motivate them to be that way.


Alright all of that is enough for you to overlook his thick rubber lips? .Do you also find guys with hairy chests attractive? or are you into guys with hairless and slippery chest like mine? .

XhosaNostra:
Lol, the netball look is when they wear mateki, long woolen socks with a skirt or dress.

What's your definition of sexy? Because KK from Muvhango is also sexy in my book

LMAO,the kind you described here is the kind I usually see carrying heavy tree logs on their heads and they balance them so well

I love slim thick women.I'm not a fan of abnormally huge asses and boöbs,even sexy slenders I take am as long as I don't the veins through their flesh.You not the only one who sees KK that way,is he really THE GUY?

XhosaNostra:
I've only met two types of Zimbabweans. They're always either from Harare or Masvingo. The Masvingo type is the one that looks like they're about to play netball


Eastern Cape guys like a pretty face more than anything. LMFAO @ even Vendas might deceive you. TBH, those ones, I think they're more related to their neighbours across the Limpopo

Whenever I meet one I always assume they are from Harare.Lol what's a netball player supposed to look like?


I'm also into pretty face but pretty face alone is never enough for me.A sexy looking lady+pretty face is my thing.

XhosaNostra:
True, they're allergic to deodorant, the Masvingo type or whatever that place is called.
I've also never met one from there. In fact, let me Google them to see if they're not a myth like the Sasquatch

LMFAO. So thina sinezishwapa because of Gauteng? I've not even noticed that. Btw, in the Eastern Cape most guys don't care about curves. They have a different criteria altogether. So I was surprised upon my arrival in Gauteng for the 1st time. In Gauteng it seems even the girls pride themselves on how big their butt is. It's not like that in Eastern Cape. We're conceited but not that shallow.

Can you tell Zimbos apart according to their regions? to me they appear similar in their ways of life and of course how they look.


Lol maybe my observation is misguided.Sometimes here in Jozi you can't tell who's from where because everyone look dazzling in their make-up,even Vendas might deceive you sha! .Eastern Cape guys don't value what they have.Some of us are trying to purchase a bus ticket to try our luck over there
