Danger: Frats Golwe. Ungagqithi kulendawo.  The trilingual sign...English, Afrikaans, Xhosa.  I love South Africa.

The security guard, though, is not there to protect you from the "amaza anobungozi".  Oh no, he's there to protect you from the local entrepreneurs.  How so, you ask?  Well its quite simple.  As tourists would climb down the 100 ft ( Read more... )
