Oprah's financial guru
Suze Orman has splashed out R9-million on her saffalicious Joburg flat. Orman, who is reportedly looking to make South Africa her home base, says she bought in Northcliff for "the same reason I invested in the number one property markets in the United States ... position, position and position."
And what did the Saffa-wannabe have to say about Mzansi?
"I like it here a lot. I see the potential here, and here is where it's at.... Johannesburg is the hub. It is where it is happening."
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.
