New Cambodian Dialect - Afrikaans
New Cambodian Dialect - Afrikaans
It's crazy the amount of South African refugees (& Namibians) that have settled in Cambodia, particularly Phnom Penh, over the past few years. They're bloody everywhere! It seems whenever I sit down in a bar or restaurant all I hear is Afrikaans being spoken... scrolling through FB a minute ago and I see my go-to sports bar are even advertising in Afrikaans now!
It appears Cambodia doesn't want them staying long term, as Immigration are continually denying E-type Visas on Arrival to them, and instead issuing them with Tourist VOA's.
On the bright side, at least theres plenty of tasty biltong available to buy around town now.
Scary thing is, most of these Saffers are working as teachers! Gonna have a city full of kids running around speaking in a hideous hybrid Cambodian/Sth African accentAlle Suid Afrikaners kom kuier saam ons hier by All Sports Bar in Straat 172 , ons het die nuwe restaurant nou klaar..kos , bier en karaoke is op die spyskaart.
So almal is welkom..
Hoop ons sien julle gou..

I've spoken with a few and I think there are more white Zimbabweans in Cambodia than in Zimbabwe.

Used to be a lot in Uganda when I worked there, I think they gravitate to poor countries where they still think they can assert themselves and feel a sense of superiority over the locals. The race that time forgot. The post 2 above pretty much sums up my experience based on 7 years on the continent. I've never come across 1 in Thailand which is strange, why would it be any different?
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

South Africa is in crisis.
I’ve been writing CVs for nine years, with at least 85% of clients from South Africa and Zimbabwe.
My clients are desperate to leave and go anywhere that will have them.
I have clients applying all over the world, it’s just that Cambodia is easier to get into than Australia and New Zealand. Many go to SEA first while they try to relocate elsewhere.

No they are fleeing a country where crime is rampant and whites are being persecuted for the color of their skin, and Cambodia is one of the few countries that will take them.Cowshed Cowboy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2019 8:35 pm I think they gravitate to poor countries where they still think they can assert themselves and feel a sense of superiority over the locals.

There was talk in Australia about making the process quicker for them. But the do-gooders stepped in and said you cant discriminate.

Yea, SA is a pretty fkd up country at the moment.Sweet Lemon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 5:21 pm whites are being persecuted for the color of their skin,
Wasn't that long ago it was the other way around in Sth. Africa though.
I've worked with many South Africans over the years, most of them great guys who I trust to have my back when the shit hits the fan, one thing the majority of them have in common though is that they are extremely racist and they dont hide the fact.
Anyway...there's some really good biltong available in PP these days which I'm really happy about!

My clients are not all white South Africans.
