Hoekom is dit nie Die Regte Huisvroue van Pretoria nie?
Because no one will know what it's all about and won't work well for marketing, it's about the brand of Real Housewives.

Is it not supposed to be egte?

Seems to me that at least one of these woman were born in Africa.
That makes them African doesnt it ?
Im sure some official documents would also class them as African born.

I'd imagine in Pretoria the number of white folks natively speaking Afrikaans and living ethnically as Afrikaans people eclipses any other race.

Now in the Western Cape it's a different story, but this isn't Trashy Housewives of Cape Town.
Not a f**, have you been to Pretoria recently?

Any Afrikaans person will know what Regte Huisvroue is about. Plenty of Afrikaans shows on kyknet with Afrikaans titles based on English shows.

No. :p

I agree with you, men also deserve their own show where they strut about with manly tools pretending to know what they are doing, your envy is totally justified.

Do you not know what if they so desire they can do it means?

If it where up to me the term coloured would be abolished it's a silly term that was made to divide people, but has now created it's own culture and identity.

Anyway the point is still dumb to defend.

Hey, you were the one that said you know of no black Afrikaners. I just offered to show you some close enough to you for a visit to see for yourself.

Is that the one where they try doing US accents while pretending to be sophisticated, and then do both extremely badly?

I have no idea. It looks like some dinner party where they make food and speak shyte. I always find something else to do.

Yeah maybe the owners are still testing the concept and if successful will be rolled out in all 11 official languages.

Are you serious? Correct translation is Die Ware Housevroue van Pretoria. Not die regte huisvroue.

I might have burnt down my school because I was taught in Afrikaans but that doesn't mean I didn't listen in class.
Wat is 'n housevrou?

Also Ware Huisvroue would be True Housewives. These are not regte egte ware huisvroue.

What was your mark in Afrikaans in your final year? You cannot do direct translation like that. Otherwise your version is The Correct Housewives.

The most accurate translation is Ware. Even if you don't want to admit it. Don't be stubborn and refuse to admit you are wrong. It is not my fault you spent your time playing with your tottie at school while you should been studying.

Ware means true, not correct.
