Howzit!

Howzit!! It's South African greeting which means: hello, how are you and what are you up to? Alternatively, I dont really have the energy to stop and chat with you, but take this "Howzit" as being friendly enough -thanks. Also a clear marker for when someone is a South African.

South Africa has 11 official languages, and scores of unofficial ones besides. English is the most commonly spoken language in official and commercial public life – but only the sixth most spoken home language.

Most South Africans are multilingual, able to speak more than one language.

South Africa's second-largest language: isiXhosa is spoken by 17.6% of all South Africans, or 7,907,149 people.

The languages you will hear most frequently spoken in South Africa depend on where in the country you are.

It's always nice to know some basic words and sentences in other country. Here a link with some of them for the isiXhosa:

KAAPSE KLOPSE

Festivals are a gift, loud colorful occasion where people can get together with their families, friends and all the friends they're about to make!
There is no better place to travelers to understand a country than an event where it proudly celebrates its individuality and identity whether through music, food, dance, or rituals.

You need to experience KAAPSE KLOPSE!..... What is that??!?!
We still stay in Cape Town where the most famous festival is going on. One of the best of the world according to the wide references book Lonely Planet.
It takes place annually on January 2 and goes on for a month! Around 13.000 are participating to this event. Festivities include street parades with singing and dancing, costume competitions and marches through the streets. The troupes are judged on a variety of criteria, including costume, singing and dancing, runs each Saturday night.
The main parade begins at midday and attracts tens of thousands of spectators, so be sure to stake a place early.

Tips: Where the best spot to watch?
Grab your spot in the shade where Adderley turns into Wale – at the opening to the Company’s Garden and on the stairs of St George’s Cathedral. The crypt below the cathedral contains your closest coffee spot.

Cape Town

The legislative capital of Cape Town that is the most popular with tourists on their South Africa holidays. This is because Cape Town offers so much for visitors to see and do. You simply can't leave South Africa without taking a cable car ride up to the famous Table Mountain and viewing the breathtaking scenery surrounding Table Bay. It's incredible amazing!

Another of Cape Town's highlights is the Victoria and Albert Waterfront. The beautiful Victorian-styled area features a number of incredible seafood restaurants, designer clothing shops and stunning boutique hotels which are perfect for guests looking for accommodation for their luxury holidays.
