Second the song
South African Anthem.

And  last but differently not least
The gum boot dance

  1. I really enjoyed reading your culture post Mia. It is interesting to find out more about those connected to us. I am intrigued about the gumboot dance. Maybe you could do a post about this dance and tell your viewers more. Have you actually danced the gumboot dance?

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
Encourage me to make another post
