Roshumba "Love" On Guangzhou &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Zulu Girl Story.

　　 Saba "Love" was a souvenir of the Guangzhou Asian Games.

AYOBA! - the phrase "hello" is now the most popular word in South Africa. Every day, the world cup thematic program of local TV stations in South Africa uses this greeting as the title. So that journalists will greet each other in Rome as the Romans do.

Blacks in South Africa account for 79% of the total population of the country, including 9 tribes. AYOBA is actually a new word that incorporates the language elements of 9 Black African tribes. Among the 9 Black tribes, Zulu is the most populous. The current president of South Africa, Zuma, is the Zulu people. The name of the world cup is "universal celebration", and also comes from Zulu language.

Zulu people scattered in South Africa, the most concentrated place is in Durban province where Kwazulu Natale is located (Zuma is also Durban). In the two days in Durban, the reporter met a Zulu girl Roshumba (PHINDILE XABA) who worked in a restaurant. Through Roshumba's mouth, we can get a preliminary understanding of the survival of the Zulu people, the largest nation in South Africa.

There were 7 wives in the village.

In the "imperial restaurant" restaurant in the Ocean Park District of Durban, the reporter met the 20 year old Zulu girl, Saba.

Roshumba is currently in first grade at a university in Durban, and speaks fluent English. Besides, he can also speak Zulu and dialects of different tribes. "I have 1 brothers and 3 sisters. I count the youngest at home." Roshumba said, "our hometown is in ESHOWE Town, which is about 2 hours away from Durban."

Roshumba introduced that Zulu people still have many primitive tribes in South Africa, and every tribe has chieftains, and all the tribes have followed a "Zulu king". "When I was about 9 years old, I saw Zulu king once. The impression was not very deep. He only remembered that he had a long scepter. " Roshumba said, "there are many customs of the Zulu people, especially in respect of sacrifices, which are different from other black tribes."

It is said that the Zulu people still practise polygamy. When reporters asked about this problem, Saba There is no denial. "Our nation is indeed polygamy, but South African law recognizes only the first wife." Roshumba said, "in many Zulu tribes, cattle are still used as a wedding betrothal for men. It takes more than a dozen cows to marry a wife. When we were little, the most people in our village married 7 wives.

Why is the Zulu girl always naked on the upper body? Saba seriously explains that in Zulu customs, only virgin girls are eligible to be naked. Other married or virgin women do not have such a right. "As for Zulu men, everyone must learn to dance. Because the perfect Zulu warriors are all brave, the Zulu will be the biggest nation in South Africa and the most courageous and good fighting nation. Roshumba said.

However, in the sense of Saba, the most authentic and traditional Zulu culture is gradually disappearing. "Many Zulu people can marry with black people, even white or Indian people in other tribes, but our family insists that we can only intermarry with Zulu people, because this is the best way to maintain the inheritance of our own national culture."

A 20 year old female college student has a 6 year old daughter.

As Sarah said, Zulu's culture has not only gradually disappeared, but also under the influence of globalization and urbanization, Zulu people have gradually left their settlements and have gone to work and live in major cities in South Africa.

"Zulu women get married to live in the city, some read their own jobs and find jobs." Roshumba said, "when I was 6 years old, I went to primary school in the town, until I graduated from high school. The educational system here in South Africa is 12 years. There are white schools, black schools, and our Zulu own schools. I have been educated in English since I was a child. {page_break}

Because she had an elder sister married to Durban, she chose to attend a university in Durban. "I think the best city in South Africa is Cape Town, followed by Durban. As for Johannesburg, the job opportunities there are hard to find, and the weather is too cold in winter, so I don't get used to it. " Roshumba said.

She is only 20 years old and is still reading a big student, but she has a 6 year old daughter. "I have a boyfriend who was born with me. But my boyfriend is not able to bear the financial burden of a family for the time being, so he can't be my husband. "

If his boyfriend deserted her, what would happen? Sabah said honestly that this was not a problem, as long as she could find another man who could raise her and her daughter and have enough sense of responsibility. "Now I want to find such a man before I am 30 years old. I can buy a house and a car in Durban, and my daughter can get a good education. It doesn't matter who my husband is. " Roshumba expressed her goal in this way.

In fact, like Roshumba, who can go to university and temporarily work to support her Zulu girls, she has become a leader among their people.

"Welcome Chinese friends to South Africa"

When he was working in a Chinese restaurant, Roshumba wore a red Tang suit, smiling face to face every guest, and even putting his tea in a very standard position.

"The people who eat here are Chinese and others. We must treat everyone with the same courtesy. To be honest, I have never even drunk Chinese tea, but this is a job, it can provide the basic guarantee for my life, and I must respect this work. " Roshumba said.

Spend 3 Rand every day to work on the "black bar", so that's how Durban moves toward its goals in life.

" World Cup I am a girl, not very fond of football. But the world cup has provided jobs for more South Africans, and our cities have become more beautiful. This should be an opportunity to encourage all South Africans to unite. The meaning of the world cup in Roshumba's eyes? That's all.

Since she works in a Chinese restaurant, does she want to go to China? "Of course, China is a great eastern country and has a long history of friendly exchanges with Africa. There are many Chinese in South Africa. They are very friendly with all kinds of people. If it is not so, I will not choose to work in Chinese restaurants. Of course I want to go to China, but it's not possible at the moment. Because China is too far away, the air tickets are too expensive. Roshumba Staw Bhai Di said.

Before concluding the interview, Sabah wrote "welcome Chinese friends to South Africa" in a white paper with Zulu.
