karkarinus Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I knew that already! My Scripture teacher lived there for many years and related to us countless tales and anecdotes about all sorts of things SA-related. The Tokolosh has always been my favourite, and a darn sight more interesting than religion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercbird Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Heya G, Nog groetnis uit SA ! I'm a little confused these days as I'm about to marry a 'rooinek' and have been translating invites and directions into both languages.We also have both our brothers living with us, and what we speak when we are together cannot be classified as either language ;D We did something similar to our teacher Karkarinus, back when it was still 'godsdiens onderrig' here, but luckily this was with a teacher that knew so much other interesting stuff...none of which I can remember...

karkarinus Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I can't remember much either, as it was a good 20-something years ago, but I do remember something about gold and diamond mines, smuggling, and cricketball-sized hailstones. Only half of it was true, probably! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Probably all true actually! You most likely heard about the great diamond mines in Kimberly and hailstones here are fatal in certain provinces. A whole neighborhood was ravaged by a hailstorm the other day.

karkarinus Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I mean that some of his far-fetched tales were probably local SA urban legends. I know the hailstones are true. And, of course, the Tokolosh - I never doubted that for a minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
