Task 1
Introduction
Address, acknowledgement, respect and togetherness:
17 June 2016 (Informal) 10:00am Free Sate Rugby Stadium. All of the below people
are male. Cultures and races vary from Afrikaans, English, White, Coloured, Black,
isiXhosa, Sotho even an Australian as well.
I find myself on my way to rugby practice. As I pulled into the stadium my best friend
stops next to me. We both got out of our cars. “Yes my vriend wat sê jy?” he greeted
me. We shake hands. I answer him “Gaan goed dankie en met jou Pella?”
As we are standing and talking, other teammates pull up at practice and get out
there cars. We all gather together to greet everyone. From our Coloured teammates
greeting with a custom-friend handshake “Awe my bra” in reply saying “Wat sê jy my
ma se kind”.
To our black teammates, again a custom-friend handshake, greetings all over from
Zimbabwe Shona “Mhono Shamwari”, isiXhosa “Molo mfetu”, Zulu “ Sawubona
mngane wami” And our Australian friend “G’day mate”. Everyone greeting everyone
in their unique way. Every teammate greeting their teammates in their own custom
way. One thing was prominent, everyone was stoke (glad/happy) to see each other.
Purely because we share a brotherly bond, due to all the training and playing hard
rugby matches with each other. We all make our way to the rugby/training field. I find
myself at the back of the pack with my Aussie friend Daniel, Daniel said the
following: “you guys sure have something special here ey?” I look at him and look at
the bunch of bid guys and said to Daniel “Yes Mate, only in Africa you’ll find this”,
Daniel said “what do you mean?”, I replied “Only here, in South Africa, you’ll find a
bunch of guys, with different cultures, different languages all coming together as one
for the same purpose and loving it. It takes many different colours to make a
rainbow, that’s why they call us the rainbow nation”.
