Raging Bull, ja those were the days, boet. "Bring my terug na die ou Transvaal..." Hey, I must be careful. Sarie Marais is probably also a "racist" song these days!

One Love, hope you're also happy in your new high school. Maybe in future you can go home. Churchill also said:"Never give up."

Dolphinlami, yeah, I know all about sounding American - teaching bloody American phonics to little Chinese nowadays. Hope you reverted back to sounding South African, bro. Even though I'm white, I take pride in being African.

The meories of those 9 years are yours forever, Cheryl. Nobody can take that away. I also grew up in the Western Province and having traveled fairly extensively, I still believe there aren't really any other place :-) Die lekka ou Kaap!

hey V
You havent visisted yahoo answers in a while!
Anyhoots!
My childhood was great!
I was raised by my mom - grew up in George , lived there till I was 5 then moved to Cape Town.
I have to say as a kid in CT it was pretty amazing - my sister & I use to play in our Oak tree & lay under it for hours watching the clouds - sounds pretty amazing hey
@ nite we use to play outside with no worries of a killer on the loose or some sicko!
My mom use to take us to the Grand Parade on saterdays - then we would go the the botanical gardens, have a picnic play with the squirrels & we we came home with the bus, we would have our fish & chips on the buss - ohh i use to love the smell of vinegar!!!!
Sundays was sunday school - after class we would have a bigggggggg family lunch & all my cousins would gather round & we would play "Weg kruipertjie" in the neighbourhood with all the kids!
You don't see kids play in streets these days - all they do is play computer games, mxit on their cellphones & ps2!
Oh the good 'oll days!

My first 9years was the best childhood a child could ask for, growing up in Cape Town. Table Mountain was on my back door step and the ocean the the biggest bath god ever created. Then we moves to a town named Witbank in the Transvaal. Talk about having to grow up quick! Till the time we journeyed over the mountain i never knew that there was another place in this world.

I loved 1993, the year I started highschool and Transvaal won the Lion Cup, Currie Cup and the Super 10 championships.
That and the fact that there still was a Transvaal.

i loved the North West in Pretoria...more rural area.
the place seemed so magical, my great gran had a farm with all sorts of goodies and a huge mulberry tree. we used to mostly live off the food that grew there, except the occasional stuff we needed at the store. my cousins and i used to climb up the tree to get mulberries or hide amongst the corn when in trouble or help gran cook it or dry it and make mielie meal out of it. when she died (being the worst time of my childhood...i was only 12), it seemed as if she took all thse things and the magic with her. but i still love it though, til today. i've been quite sheltered i suppose (for a black), so i suppose i've never experienced anything bad growing up...

well i was born in 1980, we stayed on a farm and i do have to say that each year just got better and better for me, i honestly can't remember any bad year ( except for 1996 when my dad past away). Growing up in south Africa was and is wonderful i have not experience anything bad here ( besides a couple of break-ins). I did have a wonderful childhood. I just hope South Africa will be as kind to my two kids as it was to me.

1990 and on. Those were the best years. Going crazy trying to sound American, it was the in thing in Durban those days. And wearing baggy jeans and oversized shirts and t-shirts, caps turned to the side. While at the same time sitting around having a braai every weekend. Miss those days, yeah, they were the days.
