As an Indian growing up in the 80s, my opinion is this was the best era for south africa. Life was good, jobs was plentiful. Though I can never understand why the people who wasn't even born in the 80s that will be the ones to play the racist card. Facts is facts, life was better period. Sorry if my comment offends anyone just speaking the truth.

The good old days when our money had value. And parts were of breakable quality and people took pride in offering their best at their respective jobs.

The problem with white SA accents is that there is no single one; it all depends on where the speaker is from: those in Gauteng speak differently from those in Natal, whose accent again differs from that of the Western or Eastern Cape. On top of that those of us who grew up Afrikaans have a different accent again, and even then it also differs according to where we grew up. SA English IS closer to Standard English, I agree, but not so close that I have ever been mistaken for an Englishman! LOL
@chloe7seven226 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. The accent closest to Brits is if you went to a private school, preferably in the Eastern Cape where the 1820 settlers landed - those English there are quite pedantic about pronunciation. I was a brownie and a girl guide there and we were clipped over the fingers when we misspronounced and I wasn't even in a private school. You're 100% correct.
