Christmas is finally upon us! We thought why not sing our well wishes to you and yours. So this is how we sing the Christmas song in isiZulu. Enjoy this one!

During Christmas, some families have it as a prerequisite to have a gift before even coming to the lunch or dinner. They are still upholding one of the longest standing traditions of the world to gift each other something for Christmas. So, when this is something you do annually and suddenly someone just stops getting the gift; this is the question to ask. This is how you ask 'Where is my gift?' Take a listen

Ever since COVID-19 started and we have been occasionally summoned to watch the President's address regarding the restrictions that will be followed to stay safe in the country.

Among some of the most said words in South Africa is the word 'loadshedding'. That is because we have learned to plan our lives around it at work, at home and for our social lives. So to always make sure that the next place you're going to has electricity and isn't experiencing a certain 'Stage 3/4 loadshedding', you need to politely ask this question.

Another week, another Khuluma Nathi lesson with uThisha Sky. Christmas is closer than we think and holiday plans are in the books for so many people.

The team have been flying in and out of Durban for the past few weeks. And with Keri Miller always having the worst experience in terms of the people sitting next to her, she always manages to sneak to a spot in the plane that has no one. She obviously needs to make sure that there is no one seated at the spot before she can take it. So the same can be said for you wherever you are in the world. Say you really want to take a rest after a jog or want to sit on a bench where the sun is directly hitting, this is how you ask in isiZulu "Is there someone sitting here?"

Another lesson with uThisha Sky! In today's lesson we teach you how to say something that so many people would like to ask when in restaurants or in shops when they receive bad service. You will love this one.

With Sky having a horrible time on Monday following Manchester United's loss, it has become really important for people to find out which team other people support just to be insensitive.

With the municipal elections taking place in South Africa on the November 1, 2021; it's best you remind your colleagues, family and friends to practise their right to vote. So here, this is how you say it.
