Lol, no "passion gap"? Why do most lose teeth though? Is it snoek? My mom was Coloured originally from Cape Town, so yeah, they're out there.

Lol nah... No " passion Gap" ... here's an unknown fact about it tho ( And that snoek story is a Myth..Lol.. I've been eating snoek all my life !!! And my teeth's still fine )

*fact*
the introduction of the "passion gap" was a result of colonialist police brutality.
outspoken or defiant slaves and khoisan were beaten on the mouth with batons so as to "mark"them with resultant missing or broken teeth.
this made it easy for the police to pin-point "troublemakers" in event of any uprising....after which those with missing teeth would be blamed, captured and locked up.the general slave and khoisan communities then had their front teeth voluntary removed so as to support their own people thereby effectively stopping victimisation....
*did you know?*


Ohkay... So BASICALLY your also Colored...

Oh wow! Interesting. I didn't know it was that deep. Thanks for sharing. I identify as Xhosa because my father is. But most people often mistaken me for Coloured though. Shrugs.

Yeah...and that's Just the tip of the Sh*t pile.... Other reasons being that they were denied // forbidden from speaking their own language e.g khoekhoegwab // asian languages... Which ( obviously ) led to the to the birth of the "Rebel language" called, Kaaps ( Afrikaans ).... ( << But enuf of that )

** Nods **

Yeah I knew you was gonna say that... The same way people in my community identify as coloured ( coloured father // Xhosa mother )....

Eita daar. Dankie, BROE. Is that die Kaapse taal or just a general Coloured term? Because I know Coloureds from
Cape Town speak differently.

I can very much relate to the situation you in. You probably feeling the man has played a big part in your life and you trying to pay him back. He might have done his part but you have to understand that God put him in that situation to help you, you have to rebel against the staying at home 24hrs at all cost, if a man js willing to tie down someone with a promising future and not challenege you to go make a way for yourself, thats a wicked person, i dont care what he has done for you. Go out, do things, meet people. if you gonna change your life for the better this is the first step you hould take. in the long run please make plans to leave that house, you can move in with a friend, hustle together but just leave the comfort zone of the house. you can never know what you can achieve until you put yourself in comfortable situations. Lastly read alot, read novels, biographies, memoirs anything, study how succesful people git to overcome thier adversities. work on your self esteem too, trust me life would give you a shot. Make yourself ready

Thanks Bro,God bless you.

Every minute of my life, I keep on thinking how to get a job or have any small business doing that I can earn income.I am the first ever graduate from my family, every member of my family both young and old keep calling me every day to ask if I have gotten a job this is really bringing me down and i feel tired and weak right now. My family are very poor people, how I went to school is a very long and encouraging story.After my service I went back to stay with the man that trained me in school,he is not my family member but a kind man but the problem is that he want me to always stay in the house 24hours looking after his house and he is not paying me, how can I get a job with this kind of situation. I have sent more than 3000 cv online and I have gone for only one interview which I passed all the stages but later was disqualify because of my age.Please my fellow Nigerians help me, I need a job no matter how small i will manage, it is better than staying like this I am dying slowly.If you can help me with any small capital, I can go into any small business because I think I can do well in business too. Thanks and God bless you all in advance. Moderators please help move it to front page I need help.

There you go!!!..Yeah its Kaaps " The mother of afrikaans". Broe // masekin. Is a term of endearment

** thats why 'so called coloreds' in the w.cape's " afrikaans " is very distinct from the rest of the country ( coloreds in other
provinces )

I'll post the dictionary later

Mr Nkandla is apparently being given a go home ticket and Friday the 7th is a stand still day. Durban and Joburg are caotic already, according to my sources.....die mense is kwaad!!

You are in Egypt bruh! Leave the man house to your Canaan, but remb. D road to Canaan isn't easy. You can find a friends place to stay and hustle for yourself, the same thing happen to me, i left my boss house and now i am thanking God for the hard decision.
If you want to be happy you have to take hard decision, you are getting food and everything you needed but your future is stagnant. Your experience is the same as mine, it wasn't easy for me, i worked with bricklayers, i dug soakaway but it all ends well.
