Cultural Insight |
Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Dewan: In South Africa, Rand is the official currency. R10 would be said as tien rand - 'ten Rand' and R50.50 would be said as vyftig rand en vyftig sent - 'Fifty Rand and fifty cent.' You can barter for the price for things that are displayed in the streets, but shops all have their prices on it. |
