Some on here have queried / asked if I'm honestly from South Africa. I am a born & bred south african woman - I do not have a stamp on the bottom of my foot to prove that (if I did have a stamp it would probably read "made in china" anyways) It's at the bottom tip of Africa for those that are geographically challenged.
From my pic you can see that I'm caucasion...however I am one of them mixed childrens - actually my parents' wedding caused quite a stir in the papers way back in 1976 "White woman marries Coloured man" Apartheid in full swing - that being said though (and for everything my family went through) we haven't benefited from the change over - no hard feelings.
South Africa isn't a huge place. To travel from Durban (on the East coast) through to Cape Town on the west coast will take you about 19 hours or 2 hour flight. South Africa is a whole 2 000 kms wide. It may not be big, but baby it sure is beautiful, and I happen to live in one of the best cities - or so I think - Durban also known as South Africas' playground: sun, sea, surf, fun, stunningly beautiful people, friendly.
We have 11 official languages: 9 of them being of the african tongue.
We have such a diverse culture it will make your head spin. You can't really put your finger on one/two/three things - it's a potjie pot, a little bit for everyone.
And if every you are holidaying in my neighbourhood be sure to drop by - may make my home a geocaching spot.
