So I just discovered that those braai meats and pap your South African colleagues give you on Heritage Day… they cast all their bad lucks and curses on the food and hand it to you.
Basically any time a South African colleague shares food from their festivals or celebrations, just know it’s not generosity. It’s them offloading their curses onto you.
Even those “traditional” snacks and drinks at cultural days or Freedom Day events… yeah, same ritual. Bad lucks and curses get cast on whatever they’re offering you.

Same with Christmas lunch. That turkey, ham, and malva pudding they insist you try? All their misfortune and curses transferred onto the plate before they pass it to you.
@WordsCocoon ending this day knowing that I'm going to be unemployed in July. Well, let's see what happens in future. I'll walk a different path from now on.
