GUESS WHAT OKES1
TEAM SOUTH AFRICA HAS ARRIVED
TEAM SOUTH AFRICA HAS ARRIVED
We might be the new guys on the block, but weāre here to corrupt (oh wait, thatās ourā¦) take over the Steemverse!!
Shame, we know you guys donāt understand us fully with our "South African accent" and all (oh, and there is more than one, by the way), but let us try and educate you a bit on how to converse with someone from Mzansi2:
A big shoutout to @bearone for creating our banners/signatures! If you havenāt joined our Discord chat server as yet - please go here to chat with us and catch up on your other team mates.
Thanks so much to our Moderators @darnscotty, @philip.willemse and @the-housewife for their time and effort keeping the chats clean.
- Shame This is an endearing term used in almost any situation.
- Just now This could mean anything from a few minutes to a few hours (or even days for that matter). If a South African says "Iāll do it just now," well, it probably wonāt happen anytime soon.
- Robot No, this is not some "robotic man" walking down the street - this is simply a traffic light. We also tend not to stop at these (especially after dark).
- Izit? / Sho? Usually used when you have absolutely no idea what your friend is talking about and you donāt want to sound stupid.
"My sister just had a baby, shame, heās so cute".
"Shame, he wrote his car off last night, I hope he didnāt get hurt?".
One word, any situation!
"Oh man! I sat up until 2am converting my SQL database to MariaDB".
"Izit?"

Well done @teamsouthafrica. Please add me to the group. Im based in Cape Town. Been on Steemit since yesterday. Very new to all of this
Hi @tamwebess. Welcome to the platform - sure you'll love it :)
We will be processing or next intake in the next few days so stay posted :)
This is super lekka! Thanks @teamsouthafrica for this awesome initiative! You guys rock!
Thanks for all the support @sweetpea :)
Great things still to come :)
Keep it up! I saw that you have been on here for some time so thanks for finally sharing with us. This deserves an upvote and rock on!
As a fresh steemian it can be hard to recieve votes so my advice would be to give Steemfollower a go as you can earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I also recently made this post explaining that in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
Aweh! lekker to see fellow saffas on this streamtrain!
You should join us at some point ;)
Welcome to the fold @teamsouthafrica. Good to have you here. Looking forward to your growth and future contributions to the Steemit community
Thanks so much :)
Cool banner! I especially love my SteemPH one, also from @bearone.
Go conquer, Team South Africa! :)
I've hear of MongoDB but MariaDB sounds new to me, googling it now.
Hehe - thanks so much @luvabi :)

I lived in Pretoria for a year, and loved it! I miss South Africa. Upvoted and resteemed, okes!
Ah, hope we treated you well ;)
Thanks so much "bru" :)
Shosholoza! I do have this song going through my head, as we sing it in our community choir here in Wellington New Zealand. Last time we sang it in a street festival the organisers were freaking out because we rocked it out so much they thought we were going to break the mobile stage.
Haha - that's funny and awesome!!! :)
I just found a photo on our FB page - we were jam packed onto a rickity temp stage - thats me at far left in blue
That's awesome!!! Nice :)
I LOVE this!!!!
So excited to see what you guys will be posting #teamsouthafrica
Hope you going to join the team?

Ek is lekker moeg. Please my china, count me in.
Thanks, but please make sure you following @teamsouthafrica first...
Let me know once done...
Done.
I don't see the follow??
I just checked again. You are correct. It didn't accept my first follow because your page requires me to "login"??? Please explain why it is asking me to login in order to follow you?
Whenever I click follow, it wants to kick me out or have my login. Can you please explain this very special procedure? What exactly is being installed on my notebook?
Must be something on your side man... No one else has complained about this...
Or Steemit is having problems?? Maybe try later again...
Seems you got it right :)
@teamsouthafrica is following you too now - welcome to the team!!!
