You seriously are not going to undermine our intelligence like that are you?

Maybe she was supposed to address you in Afrikaans so you would hear what she meant

At least one of the trending songs has two Afrikaans words guys.

This coming from the woman who adopted two little black boys and then changed them into two little black girls. Yeah right. Charlize kan moet maar haar mond hou. Sy weet nie veel wat in SA aangaan nie.

😂😂😂😂fuck you Sunday times, u feeling chest pains 😂😂

She has a point somewhat. I think I've gone through this week without hearing anyone speak in Afrikaans. I'm having two meetings today in Sandton and Randburg. I can bet you I won't hear it again today
