We want to celebrate the rich tapestry of language that reflects the diversity and spirit of our guests. Feel free to sprinkle these expressions into your conversations with one another during our celebrations.

South Africa's local lingo is a small window into the heart and soul of its rainbow nation. So go on, have a lekker time and don't be shy to share a "Howzit?" or two!

Howzit?! A friendly way to say "Hello" or "How are you?"

Braai: An essential South African tradition, it refers to a barbecue or outdoor grill event, usually involving socializing and delicious grilled food. But never (!) equate it to just a barbecue.

Lekker: A versatile word used to describe something that's enjoyable, great, or tasty.

Eish: An exclamation of surprise, disbelief, or resignation.

Just Now and Now Now: A vague sense of time, usually implying a short period but not necessarily immediately. For example, "apologies for the delay everybody, but the bride will be here now now!"

Robots: Traffic lights.

Jol: To party, have a good time, or enjoy a social event.
