    ❤🎉 Lovely content. I think amadumbe are referred to as coco yam. You & your husband are true ambassadors. You are being missed in KwaZulu Natal.

    I am a South African living in Boston and there had been a South African Heritage Day in Bridgeport Connecticut a few weeks ago that I unfortunately had to miss due to a leg injury
    It is good that you are celebrating this Americans can be exposed to this.
    Those of us living up here are planning to have South African Heritage Day in September 2025. Myself and a Zulu girl will be starting to plan it in January 2025 when she returns from South Africa.

    Sis Vee, this is fantastic and genuine in the sense that , these kids are not into culture but also language, and traditional African attire, I so wish during Africa day on the 25th, in America black Americans will dress in traditional clothing of all the over 1000 African tribes in one place, and the whole media, academics on africa and all the African ambassadors gather there too in one place, wow, great content
