This is a tale of two princes. 🤔
Prince Harry squatting down on one knee to speak to his elders … a gesture of respect in Tswana culture … while William looks like a colonial-era slave owner being carried by enslaved men.
Two very different men.

Oorah! When I was applying for Recon school, they told me blacks cannot read maps. And I asked the commenter if he ever heard of the Dogon (Mali) or the primitive tribes like the Sotho, Tswana, and Chokwe who transverse the dusty plains of Africa without a map? Long story short ended up CW5 is SO

Did the nominal independence and Black "control" of Transkei, Tswana, and Venda suddenly erase the apartheid state, or was it a deliberate mechanism to prolong it? Do you know how to read or how words work?

actually interesting thing now that popeye's in the public domain, his name is Literally synonymous with the word "cartoon" in botswana, it is the tswana word for cartoon, so i wonder if there'll ever be a setswana version of that character/show (there probably won't be,,,,)

One of my more obscure hobbies is pronouncing words that aren't Bantu as if they are Bantu. Today: Megalake Makgadikgadi (mɪ-χalake ma-kxadikxadi) is obviously a Tswana class 4 word

I guess you could say Tswana is more like ravioli in this analogy but I find it very funny that they made a video where the premise is whether or not South Africans can understand each other's languages and picked three Southern Bantu speakers and one who speaks an entirely unrelated language.

the tswana word for milk is maši. refined, civilised, good.
the afrikaans word for milk is melk. absurd, debased, putrid.

Weetje: de nationale munteenheid van Botswana is de Pula.
In de plaatselijke taal Tswana betekent Pula oorspronkelijk regen. Omdat in het droge klimaat elke regenbui als een zegening werd ervaren kreeg Pula dan ook die betekenis. En van zegening verschoof de betekenis naar rijkdom en dan geld.

Guckt schon mal, was "Entschuldigung" auf Afrikaans, Englisch, Ndebele, Nord-Sotho (Sepedi), Sotho (Sesotho), Swasi (Siswati), Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa und Zulu heißt.
Ab Samstag ist der G20-Gipfel in Johannesburg...
Das Stadtbild könnte deutsche Politiker auch stören.
