Yet all upset before of the non-inclusion of Afrikaans speaking Cape Coloured person in The Real Housewives of Pretoria in Afrikaans?

What's next? One trans lady identifying as a housewife with refugee status from Somalia?

:X3:

I dont see the issue if they can import someone from Mpumalanga, why can't they import a cape coloured to be more representative? The criteria is only Afrikaans dialect doesnt matter does it?

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.
Nope I'm right, I win.

Regte doesn't necessarily mean correct. Can be used in other ways too you know..

Not sure why they decide to mix English and Afrikaans in the title of the show.

Should have just called it "The Real chots" and then don't have to pay royalties to Hollywood

Import people? Are people items, aka slaves, now?

Newsflash: Slavery has been abolished and people move about freely in ZA. Hell, even all of Zim and Moz knows that, ask any of them in JHB at CT.

Excluding Cape coloured folks (which are not from Pretoria) I'd say the vast majority of native Afrikaans speakers are white.
Nah fam.

It is the majority language of the western half of South Africa—the provinces of the Northern Cape and Western Cape—and the first language of 75.8% of Coloured South Africans (4.8 million people), 60.8% of White South Africans (2.7 million people), 1.5% of Black South Africans (600,000 people), and 4.6% of Indian South Africans (58,000 people).[16]
