#inSouthAfrica we klap Villains from soap operas when we see them in the shopping mall – Sbusile
These are my original ones:
#inSouthAfrica there is a house remix of EVERYTHING even Former President Thabo Mbeki’s “I am An African” speech. We will dance to ANYTHING as long as you put a hot beat on it
#inSouthAfrica we don’t need to know the name of the song or the artist to jam to it. That is why we call DJ Fresh and ask him for that track “doododooododooo”
#inSouthAfrica we have something called “bula boot”. It is a party that takes place outside the club for people who cant get in. People with cars open their boots (trunks) and blast music right there. This is how we will deal with the fact that we cant afford tickets to our own world cup. The REAL party will be ouside the stadium gates
#inSouthAfrica there is something called “After Tears” ..this is a party that takes place after a funeral. NOW do you believe we invented good times?
artofkawaii on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 2:10 pm
last one…also an original
nothing shocks us #inSouthAfrica. We’ve seen and heard everything…at least we thought we had, til Ras Dumisani came and shut the game DAUN!

Brown Shuga on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 2:12 pm

Laura on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 2:38 pm
@SiBi129 Once upon a time #inSouthafrica Mandoza’s Nkalakatha was the national anthem
@Lauzali #inSouthAfrica white guys dance to Mandoza at weddings by doing dorky attempts at Zulu dance
…If you haven’t observed the dorky Mandoza dancing, watch out for it, it is pretty cringe worthy
Laura on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 2:59 pm
And I thought this was pretty funny:
@MvelasePeppetta: RT @Bren76: RT @nqabisa: #inSouthAfrica you can ask the guy robbing you of your fone for your sim card #truestory
Pinana on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 3:03 pm
LMAO @ the Ras Dumisani one.
Cheesa on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 3:23 pm
Dang I cant see those tweets. Anyway that was a great TT by Khaya Dlanga. BS will you do an article about Khaya Dlanga maybe an interview. I dont really know what he is doing and I hate saying I think when people ask what is so and so doing. So please a full info about him would be nice. He seems like one of those intelligent people who are doing great things but not famous. Will read the tweets kak’hle Monday.
LM on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 3:30 pm
Kwakwakwakwa @artofkwaai..u remind me of this lady late last year requesting one of the capricon djs to play mae for her…he requested her to sing it since he didn’t have a clue what mae is..she went: maeya-hi maeya-ho maeya-ho…she was obviously looking 4 ‘live ur life’ by TI & Riri
Brown Shuga on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 3:33 pm
Wow, so Khaya started it? Nice one!!
Cheesa on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 3:46 pm
Yeah BS I saw that there on twitter.
Nqobile on Sat, 6th Feb 2010 10:02 pm
Lol LM, i can just imagine. Maehi…. Kwakwakwakwa
Flyone on Sun, 7th Feb 2010 12:27 am
Hahahahaha!!
I like the last TWEET about “bloggers”..#TrueStory!
I can understand that some of the information might have been a bit fabricated, but let’s face it, most stories are sensationalised e.g. Sowetan,Daily Sun etc.
I also hated da fact dat ada so-called celebrities “threatened” Lelo on twitter! I quote:” where is @lelob today, come out wherever u r honey and explain urself” Bonang Matheba! What a premadona!!! NXA!!!
DD on Sun, 7th Feb 2010 12:56 pm
We call Mixed Race people Boozeman or Coloured.
Afro Samurai on Sun, 7th Feb 2010 1:24 pm
#inSouthAfrica the BlackBerry is also known as the PreviouslyDisadvantagedBerry.
Sbozh on Sun, 7th Feb 2010 9:15 pm
I love this TT, we have some of the most creative twitters eMzansi I tell ya. “@khayadlanga she is da man”
Sasha Fierce on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 8:42 am
My fav was one by Khaya himself..he said..#insouthafrica the president could be your father..LMAO!!!!!!!
Lahvee on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 8:45 am
Cant see any of those tweets except Blair Underwood’s one, *note to self, follow that foine ni**a*… I guess I need to upgrade this internet explorer.
Brown Shuga on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 8:48 am
Lahvee, please use Mozilla Firefox, ask IT to load it on your machine, shouldn’t be a problem. It’s ten times better than Internet Explorer
Double Standards on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 9:18 am
@BS, I’m using Mozilla and I still can’t see the pictures, only the Blair Underwood one, *sad*
vuyo on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 10:24 am
I like the one of Trevor Noah about Tyger woods and cheating.
Namo on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 12:04 pm
i really liked the TT but i felt some were just warped. i mean, one schleb wrote in ” SA we don’t have volcanos, earth quakes” , yadda! yadda!! and i thought that’s not something you can tweet about because it’s natural causes and not only that, we can only thank mother nature for being so good to us because those courses can happen anywhere & anytime….* just an opinion*
great topic though…big ups Khaya!!
Sasha Fierce on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 12:19 pm
HAO!!U dont have to say one celeb..it was Bonang!!!i found the tweet a bore!How about HHP’s..new york is nice but id rather be #insouthafrica..YAWN!!!!!!
Anele said #inSA u can but shades at a traffic light..LMAO!!
Namo on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 3:38 pm
Hi Sasha fierce. it’s good you saw it as well, but i prefer to not mention any names.
Tommy on Mon, 8th Feb 2010 5:07 pm
#InSouthAfrica the President might be my dad…..
J-Girl on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 12:13 pm
*sigh*

Time for software upgrade this means *double sigh*
Sasha Fierce on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 12:22 pm
