1. Waar was jy = where were you in Afrikaans. Kwaito is south African rap

2. No

3. Not hugely into Afrikaans rap.

   Although Die Antwoord’s ‘Ugly Boy’ is quite jolly.

4. A big band here at one stage was Fokofpolisiekar. Even Google translate should get that one. All pale faces, I think.

5. Timmy –

   I don’t know what you’re smoking. I don’t approve of it. And I want some.

6. Just sat on Qantas Q63, Sydney to Johannesburg, shall be listening to quite a variety of English for the next 10 days.

7. This is why punctuation is so important, or in this case just simple capitalisation of names.
   “Waar Was Jy rope in Bouga Luv” at least gives an indication that some proper nouns rope in some other proper nouns. Even if we are all clueless on the subject still.
