Isikhokelo Esibalulekileyo Se-Etiquette Nezithethe ZaseMzantsi Afrika Kubahambi

UMzantsi Afrika unemvelaphi eyahlukeneyo, kwaye i-etiquette yawo yakhiwe yimbali yokuba yiBritish colony phakathi ko-1806 no-1910, idityaniswe nefuthe lamaDatshi nelaseAfrika.

Ngenxa yokuba ilizwe lineentlanga neenkolo ezininzi, indlela yokuziphatha iyahluka.

Ukuba undwendwela, qwalasela indlela abantu bendawo abenza ngayo izinto, uze ubuze xa ungaqinisekanga—abantu baseMzantsi Afrika badla ngokuba nobubele, bevuleleke, kwaye bamkele iindwendwe.

Ngexesha, ukungafiki ngexesha kuseqhelekile kwezinye iindawo, ngakumbi eCape Town kunaseJohannesburg, apho abanye besebenzisa umqondo “wexesha laseAfrika.”

Malunga neetiphu, kwiindawo zokutyela i-10% iqhelekile kuba idla ngokungabandakanywa kwi-bill. Kukwasiqhelo ukunika iitiphu kubakhokeli bohambo, abaphethe imithwalo, abancedisi bepetroli nabalindi beepaki.

Kwezo paki, iR1–R5 iyamkeleka; ukugqithisa kunokukwenza ubonakale njengojoliso.

Kwakhona kukhankanyiwe ukuba i-$2 yayilingana ne-US$0.14 ngenxa yobuthathaka bemali.

Intlonipho kubantu abadala ibalulekile: amadoda amadala angabizwa ngoTata (isiXhosa) okanye “oom” (isiBhulu, okuthetha umalume), kanti abafazi abadala ngoMama okanye “Tannie” (umakazi).

Xa umenyiwe kwisidlo, izithethe ziyahluka: kumaZulu kubhengezwa ukufika usegesini uze ulinde ukuhlala; kumaSotho kuhlala ngokukhawuleza kodwa ungajongi abanye okanye ukutya ngeenyawo.

Abamhlophe namaColored badla ngokusebenzisa ifolokhwe nemela; amaNtsundu namaNdiya adla ngokusebenzisa iminwe okanye icephe.

Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuba ukunikwa “isitya sesibini” kuhlala kungumqondiso wobubele, kwaye ukusamkela kunokuthathwa njengendumiso kumamkeli.

Ukushiya ukutya epleyitini kunokutolikwa kakubi. Kwezinye iintsapho kukho ulandelelwano lokukhonza, kwaye iindwendwe zinokulinda indoda endala iqale ukutya.

Ukuba nisitya ngaphandle, odlayo omeme abanye udla ngokuhlawula; okanye kwabelwane ngokulinganayo—umzekelo iR900 phakathi kwabantu aba-3 iba yiR300 umntu ngamnye.

 

I-braai yinxalenye yenkcubeko: ayisosimilo sokugrila nje, koko kukupheka phezu komthi.

I-steak, i-boerewors, i-lamb chops, i-braai broodtjies, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha i-potjie, zixhaphake. Kwi-“bring ’n braai” wonke umntu uza nokutya neziselo zakhe.

Ngokuqhelekileyo kulungile ukuzisa iwayini, iintyatyambo okanye isipho esincinci.

Ezinye iindlela ezisisiseko: yamkela ukutya/iziselo xa unikwa, musa ukujonga indlu ungamenywanga, musa ukutshica esidlangalaleni, vala umlomo xa ukhohlela, kwaye kwezinye iindawo kunyanzelekile ukukhulula izihlangu.

Ilizwe libanzi ngengcinga—umtshato wesini esinye wamkelwa ngo-2006—kodwa ezinye iindawo zasemaphandleni zisagcina iingcinga ezilondolozayo.
