I join Josh, Jimson, Nkosi, Nkosinathi and Philip to feed the buffalo. This is the first time that I go out with Josh and his team and I truly love it! It’s nice to see the buffalo but I enjoy it even more to see the guys working together, listen to them having fun, making jokes and speaking Zulu. Josh with a big smile on his face!
Philip and I practice our Zulu. Oh it’s so hard. Philip has his dictionary in front of the car and looks up every word he doesn’t know. He is very happy with Josh’s company and Josh is happy to help. “Soon you’ll be fluent”, the Zulu guys say.
It’s the evening of our farewell. During speech time I say a few words to the guys in Zulu, which I read from my little notebook. It’s still just a bit too hard for me to remember.
I tell them : ‘I haven’t seen you a lot, but I was very happy to greet and wave at you in the mornings and afternoons. I was very happy to see Josh arrive home smiling. Thank you very much!’
I get lots of applause and whistling in return. I think they like it!

Josh and I are so well taken care of. It’s definitely an evening I will always remember. What an honour to be part of it, dancing and laughing with them and just being in their honest warm company. Sizobuya! We will return to visit for sure!
