Tenderpreneur
In South Africa, a tenderpreneur is a person in government or the private sector who obtains private or government tenders and contracts to facilitate outsourced services. You see them by their huge mkhaba, flashy cars and expensive clothes and alcohol.
That mkhaba is not normal. It's definitely a mkhaba of a tenderpreneur.
Tswape
A tswape is a South African term for a massive wedgy (when your underwear is stuck between your butt cheeks).
I had a tswepe during the people and I was so embarrassed to remove it.
Mandoza
Mandoza was a Kwaito legend who gave us a lot of hit songs like Nkalakatha, Tornado, etc.
May he continue to rest 🙏🏾
I really miss Mandoza right now.

I bought this car last month and today someone stole it. Yhu ni gqwirhy kulendawo
Mageza
Short for Magezel'empompeni, is a derogatory name used to refer to a taxi driver. The word directly translates to "the one who baths from a tap". The name originates from that stereotype that taxi drivers have a long distance relationship with water.
Abo mageza from Jozi are so rude and funny at the same time.

Jollofina is a name given to South African women who are dating Nigerian men.
She has all this money because she's dating Jollof boys. She's a Jollofina.
