Jasmine

Dear Student,

I am writing to you because my class has been doing a project on South Africa and comparing it to the United States. I just have a couple of questions for you. I am curious to know what type of foods do you eat over in Africa? What type of religions are the majority of your people? Do you have any holidays that you celebrate, if so, what are they?

These are just some questions that I am asking. I find it quite interesting. Thank you in advance.

My comment is that yes we do have public holidays and the food that we eat is not that different from yours the only different is how we cook.The public holiday that we have are freedom day which was on the 27 of April we celebrate it because it is the day the year the month Nelson Mandela was selected as the first black presedent and we also have many holidays through out the year.And what i would like to know is that in the US do you perform rituals and do you go circumcision schools thats all i would like to know.

Here in South Africa we have different kinds of food from different kinds of cultures e.g in our culture of Sepedi we eat food like Pap and Mopani worms.Other food that we eat here in Africa are Morogo,Phuti and Inkomazi.The majority of people here are Christians.The holidays which we celebrate in South Africa to name few are Human Rights Day,Family Day,Freedom Day,Youth Day and Heritage Day.Are you grouped into different cultures including the languages like us here in South Africa?
