Welcome to rainbow nation 🌈 maafrika dzonga
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.
South Africa is a tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions. In our remote villages, every gathering feels like a family reunion. As an African woman, I cherish our belief that it takes a village to raise a child. Uninvited guests at celebrations are a norm; we embrace everyone as family. When we mourn, the community unites, often slaughtering a cow to honor the departed. We don’t worship the dead, but we express gratitude for their impact on our lives. During Easter and December, we gather, light herbs, and share stories of our ancestors, believing they watch over us. Our homebrew beer fuels laughter, singing, and dancing, sometimes for three days straight.
In our tight-knit communities, we care for one another—checking in when someone is sick or facing hardship. We have stokvel societies to support each other financially, ensuring no one is left behind. Church strengthens our bonds, reminding us of our shared faith. In our language, we say, “umuntu ngu muntu ngabantu,” meaning we are who we are because of each other. This is the essence of ubuntu—humility and togetherness.
We brew umqobothi, our homebrew beer, and cook goat with pap, creating a feast that lasts for days. These gatherings are not just about food; they are about connection, sharing stories of our triumphs and challenges. We support each other in times of need, ensuring no one is left behind. Our stokvel society strengthens our bonds, pooling resources for funerals and community needs. Church unites us in faith, reminding us of our shared humanity. As we say, “umuntu ngu muntu ngabantu” – a person is a person through other people. This is the essence of our community, where we thrive together.

What snack would you eat right now?
Snacking is the one habit that undermines my health goals.
We always have a cornucopia of food on hand, much of it the glorious sweet variety. I love chocolate. We have a special drawer in our fridge called “The Chocolate Drawer.”
What snack would I eat right now? All of them!
What snack will I eat right now? A crunchy apple, a flavoursome peach or a handful of nuts.
You see, I am training my habits to include healthier options.
