Kevin Moir (Cloverdede): Mine is family. It is a word close to my heart and to me it is the most important thing in life. Family means you’re part of a circle made up with love. Photo: Jani de Beer
Matt Julius (Kempton Park): I love you in chiShona is ‘ndokunda.’ It is a simple phrase but holds the potential to change someone’s day. If we share more love, the world would be a better place. Photo: Jani de Beer
Jani Vissagie (Norton Home Estates): When you hit a snag or things don’t go as planned I say ‘nie so nie,” which means not like that. It is my way of saying, well that was not the outcome I expected. Photo: Jani de Beer
Andrew Kluaklanrant (Boksburg): Mother in Thai is, ‘wanmea’ and that is my favourite word. A mother is the one that keeps families together and holds them with eternal love. Photo: Jani de Beer
Amogelan Modjela (Pomona): Our country is made up of people speaking many different languages. My go-to phrase is ‘wang kwišiša,” which means ‘you understand?’ It is a easy way to make sure everyone is on the same page. Photo: Jani de Beer
