Thank you for the vlog. Iyasebenza MamaDee. What I've learnt when the workmen r working, you have to alway check the work they have already done and ensure they rectify any mistakes done before they leave the house. 🙏🙏⚘️🌷❤️💞🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 Oh no the poor cow😮

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

Oh how I wish I could be like them.

[@R1M1r1m1]

I would rather use the restroom behind a bush somewhere! It's more sanitary. The government needs to do better.

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

I ended up using toilet across in the "restaurant". They were so nice, I bought amagwinya.

[@boniemaps5624]

You will get robbed there by the Bush....its not safe at all.

[@Bamidele-ee8ch]

What is the word they use for houses in this area? indawo yokuhlala? ikhaya?

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

Emakhayo (home as in ancestral home)

[@Bamidele-ee8ch]

@mamadeebuildsahouse is that a Xhosa or Zulu word?

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

Xhosa. Actually emakhaya, ekhaya (home), etc

[@Bamidele-ee8ch]

​@@mamadeebuildsahousedoes the emakhayo get introduced to ancestors? And the ekhaya doesn't?
