'I'm here in Botswana, South Africa'


Kim Kardashian, who fancies herself as a bit of a reality TV star, is in South Africa on a trip to visit the charities supported by hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. It's a pity Ms Kardashian didn't bother to read up on the country before touching down. Yesterday she apparently tweeted "We are here in Botswana, South Africa" but after her followers gave her flak, she corrected herself saying "people thought I though Botswana was South Africa. I do know the difference! There is no direct flight from Botswana. Always a stop in JohannesBERG".
Let's hope she gets the right country (and spelling) when it comes to writing out those charitable cheques.

    Wow. That's almost as bad as the Britney Spears "What's up London?" gaffe in Manchester.

    Or Paris Hilton saying "I love Africa in general. South Africa and West Africa. They're both great countries."

Whingers - should they be allowed to speak?

Saffanisms (AKA buzzwords)

Saffa (n): South Africans. Usually used to describe expats (fondly)
Saffagette (n): A South African whose vote is reserved for Mzansi, the Motherland. A Saffagette is not an ostrich. A Saffagette has a vote and is determined to stand in a queue to cast it.
Saffavescence (n): Developed from saffervescence, which is a slang derivative of effervescence. Saffavescence means awesome, amazing - in a South African sense of course.
Saffaring (v): Being patriotic.
Suffaring (v): Having to listen to others not being patriotic.
