Beautiful XiTsonga group. Nakhensa.

In South Africa we have diverse cultures that include our heritage, music, dance and food.  Most importantly we as LDS we have one culture, a culture to love, be charitable and lead others with kindness.

The PTA stake organised a Cultural  YSA activity, whereby we were joined by Centurion and Johannesburg stake. The main aim of the activity was to introduce every individual to different cultural groups.We were joined into groups and began our tour to different cultural groups. The first group was the Xitsonga group whereby we ate amasonja (worms) and they tasted nice, and we danced till our waists lines were loose. We visited the Indian group where we  met one of the Gupta’s the never returned home ‘’LOL’’. We tasted the spicy rice and samosa. Hmmm that was delicious. Then the Indian dancers gave us an exciting performance. The atmosphere felt like we were in India. Our next stop was in Botswana, where we met the king and the we ate pap and meat. That was some real food to a man’s stomach. We dropped by in Swaziland and met all the King’s wives and they performed a traditional dance for us. Chillie was our next stop where we learned that it is a small country with delicious food .We also sang “I am a child of God” in Spanish. Our last stop was Hawaii , it looked like a small Garden of Eden, the place had leaves and fruits as part of the decorations. It looked peaceful! The activity was a success and it was exciting!
