Baie dankie/ngiyabonga/kalebocha South Africa

Hello everyone,

Beginning of July 2014 I went on exchange to beautiful South Africa. I stayed there for only 2 months (way to short) but I enjoyed it so much. I stayed in Pretoria with a white family who spoke Afrikaans which was not so difficult for me as I am Dutch-speaking.

I also went to an English-speaking school with lots of blacks kids who taught me some words and sentences in Tswana and I went to a rural area where they taught me Zulu.

I absolutely loved it. Seriously, South Africa is a great country, I know that you guys have (political) problems but still, thank you South Africa. It was like a home from home to me.

Warm regards

Maaike (Belgium)

P.S: If some of you know a charity that helps rural schools, preferably in Mpumalanga, please let me know :)
