Last week I had a call with my brother in Ireland. @Taitem Jewell 🍀 They'd just had their Bok Jol, and I jokingly asked him to hand out some SA is Lekker pamphlets for us. I said, "I'll pay you R100!" 😂 He laughed and said, "That's only about €5... you won't get many volunteers for that!" Well, today I took the kids shopping with that same R100, and here's what we got: 🥤 2L cooldrink 🥔 2 packets of chips 🍬 2 packets of sweets Not too bad for R100! 🌍 Now it's your turn! If we gave you the equivalent of R100 in your country (about US$6 / €5), what could you buy? Whether you're in South Africa or living abroad, we'd love to see how far R100 goes where you are! 👇 Tell us your country and what you'd put in your shopping basket!

The longest place name in the world — and a true linguistic marvel — is: Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (85 letters) It’s the name of a hill near Pōrangahau, in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and comes from the Māori language. The name roughly translates to: “The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his kōauau (flute) to his loved one.” Fun facts: It’s often shortened to Taumata for sanity and signage. It holds the Guinness World Record for longest place name in an English-speaking country. There are even longer unofficial versions with up to 105 letters, but the 85-letter form is the most widely recognized. It’s not just a name — it’s a story, a tribute, and a cultural landmark rolled into one. The longest place name in Wales — and the longest in the UK — is: Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (58 letters, 18 syllables) It’s a village on the Isle of Anglesey, and the name was famously extended in the 1860s as a publicity stunt to attract tourists. The full translation is: “St Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the Church of St Tysilio near the red cave.” Locals often shorten it to Llanfair PG, because even the bravest tongue needs a break. The train station sign is a popular photo spot — and yes, it’s as long as a rugby scrum. I really do not think New Zealand should have it, so lets have our own for Capetown which we can shorten like they do: (I dare you try and say it out loud, let me know if you can do it) KaapstadflipwaaisnoekkoeksisterparadevanTafelbergwatwhistleenwaaiendieboetiesbraaibabbelenbyBoKaapkleurhuisewaarspazashopsbeatsmaakendomakroekinKhayelitshadansmetgatsbysausopdiekantterwylseemeeueplanbyKalkBayindieloadsheddingmaanligwanneerbakkiesbonkendenUbuntuplakkiesklaplangsdiepadnaMzansiMagicmensemetsmaak Eenvoudige vertaling / Easy Cape Afrikaans-style Translation:
