When Lisa said Ngiyabonga (thank you) to the security guard at Durban airport, his eyes lit up and he shook her hand with the Zulu handshake of peace. It was wonderful to connect. Kathy and Lisa bought a book of Zulu sayings in Durban but can't seem to use it at all in Cape Town.
Here's more Zulu lesson for you:
