Word of the Day [10 Mar 2026]
Boer maak 'n plan
It literally means a farmer makes a plan.
It’s testament to the fact that the Afrikaner will figure stuff out. If there’s a problem, he’ll find a workaround. If something is scarce, he’ll find a substitute.
These power cuts are annoying but 'n Boer maak 'n plan.
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.
Random words for you this Tuesday!
