If you’ve ever lived outside SA, you’ll know our sayings hit different. 😂 But here’s the thing — our language isn’t just funny…it’s part of what makes our culture so warm, expressive, and uniquely South African. So today’s value drop for the community 👇 ✨ 3 South African sayings that remind us how beautifully we communicate — even when the world doesn’t “get” us: 1️⃣ “Just now” To others: “soon.” To us: ANY time between 2 minutes and 2 hours. 👉 The value: It shows how relaxed and flexible our way of life can be — we don’t rush, we flow. 2️⃣ “Robot” Others: “huh?? A machine?” Us: “Bru, it’s a traffic light.” 👉 The value: We simplify. We make things practical. We call it what makes sense. 3️⃣ “Shame” Rest of the world: sounds negative. South Africans: pure affection, empathy, and softness. 👉 The value: Our language always carries heart. 💬 No matter where you are in the world, share the SA saying that ALWAYS makes people look at you funny — or the one that makes you feel connected to home. Let’s teach the world a little South African flavour 🇿🇦✨

For me? Mrs Balls Chutney — no contest. It takes me straight back to Saturday mornings with my ouma…Driving to the church bazaar, the smell of easy curry & rice filling the hall, and that iconic chutney sitting proudly on the table. One spoon and suddenly I’m 8 years old again, feet swinging under the chair, feeling completely at home. Funny how one taste can hold a whole memory, hey? Your turn — what’s your non-negotiable from SA? Let’s see which nostalgic item wins the expat Olympics 😅👇
