The different languages that we have in South Africa: unlike other countries who
have one or two dominant langauges,we are known for the many diverse
languages we have as a nation.
We have eleven official languages, which are:
Sesotho
Tshivenda
Tsonga
Setswana
IsiNdebele
IsiZulu
Afrikaans
English
SiSwati
IsiXhosa
Sepedi
•
These languages are what make up the diverse nation that we are.
Slide 3
With the different languages we have, each language has its own cultural dress code which
many wear to represent their culture.
The following dress codes are examples of what is worn by the different cultures ,mostly on
special occasions like weddings, public holidays and cultural gatherings. Due to
modernization not many people wear cultural clothing on a daily basis.
Tsonga
Sesotho
IsiXhosa
Slide 4
Ndebele
Tsonga
Setswana

Traditional meals are shared across the different groups. Our traditional foods are
all the same. The only difference is the way they make the food.
The following are a few examples of typical traditional meals in South Africa:
Pap, tomato gravy and
wors
Ingredients:
•Maize Porridge
•Wors (Minced meat tied
into a sausage)
•Tomato
•Onions
Chicken feet

•Chicken feet (boil or
deep fry)
•Mushrooms
Slide 6
•Traditional games are usually played by children around the age of
2 to 13. These games are played all over South Africa.
•The following are a few Traditional games:
Ladder Hopscotch
The player throws the stone into square 1,
hops over that square into square 2, then
3, 4, and so on up to 10 and then lands on
“home” with both feet. The player “jumps”
around to again land on both feet in the
“home” square and then hops back into
each square up to 2. After picking up the
stone from square 1, the player hops over
that square and back to baseline.
Continue to play as above.

games painted on school grounds.
Slide 7
Elastic jumping
(umagalopha, umghusha)
Players jump sequences on an elastic band
held on the legs of two other players.
Lengths of elastic can be
used. If this is not available, players have
often used old pantyhose pieces tied
together or even woven grass strands. Play
starts with the elastic “band” held on the
ankles of support players and, at intervals,
this is lifted to right up under the arm pits.
Players take turns jumping the sequences
and perfecting their skills.
Every region has their own traditional
jump sequences and rules vary.
