🇿🇦 MZANSI TEACH YOU THESE HABITS BY FORCE! Americans React “A Nigerian's Experience In South Africa”

Amazingly, most RSA people I know do not ask personal questions about marriage status, kids or someone's salary… I am Saffa who is nearly 80 years old. However there are nosy people everywhere in the globe. Great that you have learnt some positive stuff and you are enjoying your stay. Sometimes people are not good at engaging a conversation with a stranger and they try hard to be 'nice'😊

This person doesn't know South Africans at all

In Nigeria no credit. You pay upfront for everything.

South Africans we trides & clans. We r used asking each other abt families, place of birth, ppl around u.
Like for example if u r Xhosa someone might ask u which clan u come from., the sometimes u find they r related. During Apartheid this how ppl will help interlink each other wen some come from the villages to a place like Jhb.
We r used to those kind of conversation its a norm.
So wen it comes to ppl from other countries the take this as noisy the intentions is not molecules.

I have had the same experience with Nigerians abroad , they will ask you about personal things

Normal questions.different strokes for different folkes! Other Africans are too conservative and not relaxed they take things like tooo serious . Maybe we are too laid back!

She had me until she said driving on South African roads were safe 😂 but it really is a beautiful country

This is not true about all South Africans 😊 We do have boundaries
Our personality traits are different.
It's definitely not polite to step onto individual privacy unless both are comfortable with each . Respect demands respect. This lady should not generalize 😊

he church I go to has a lot of different nationalities, but also different colours and couples. There have been a few that have got married in the last few years that have been asking if they are have children yet one of them have and I am super excited about.

I'm South African coloured, we are all of that! Indaba sobantu FR

We sometimes ask questions to make someone feel welcomed. Especially if you are from outside the country…

What you should knw about South Africans especially Zulus its that we greet b4 u talk or ask something please greet 1st whatever u do don't 4get to greet

I hail from Kenya, not Nigeria. When it comes to financial literacy, it is evident that many African countries, including Kenya, lack the extensive credit facilities commonly found in Western and South African nations. Here, the prevailing norm is to spend only the money we have available, meaning we primarily make purchases with cash. Consequently, the absence of easy credit access acts as a check on reckless spending habits. However, should you find yourself in an environment that permits taking items on credit, the likelihood of being more extravagant with your spending increases significantly.
