<< Click here to download papers from the World Conference >>

Outward Bound International and Outward Bound South Africa invites you to the World Conference in South Africa from 15 – 17 October 2006. The conference will be held at Club Mykonos on the magnificent West Coast just outside Cape Town.

Come for an unforgettable imbizo on African soil:

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu – “a person is a person through other persons”. Ubuntu.

San’bonani, Kgotsong, Dumelang, Molweni, Abshene, Thobela, Lotshani, Nda, Hoegaandit, Heitada, Howzit, Kunjani, Hola, Moja, Sweet no job katakata!

We’re so excited we’re greeting you in all 11 official languages and some unofficial ones, like “Totsi Taal” as spoken by the “pantsulas” (guys wearing long pants that are too short) in ekasie (the township).

Important “S’Effican” (e.g South African) words:

Lekker = great
Schweet = fantastic (as in schweet like a lemon)
Moja = grand, brilliant
Smaak = enjoy, love
Kif = wonderful
Mooi = nice, pretty
China = friend, buddy

How to use this in a sentence – “Kif my china, schweet plan, do you smaak my boney?” or “Nice my friend, good idea, do you like my motorbike?”.
