[0:12]We have a great variety of children coming from wonderful countries in Africa, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the DRC. And also we have children here over the years who've come from Russia, the United States, so we're actually quite a melting pot. To have children from other countries is good experience because they can tell you more about their country, and you can also teach them more about your country. It's better to have different country mixed school. Because you get to know what language they talk, what they do, how they play and where they go. The reason why we like different kinds of countries, because you get to have different kinds of food than to just eat like in America, maybe they just eat pizza burger every day, yummy food like that. But they don't even get to taste, pap, rice, spaghetti, cockroaches. Don't tell me. They won't taste cockroaches.

[1:29]How are you? Is amakuru. Amakuru. Amakuru. Maselasay means how was your day? Maselasay. Maselasay like say like that. There are some people when like when they're angry at a person that's not in another country, and they intend to discriminate them like to call them names. I believe that it doesn't matter where you come from as long as like you're a good person. We do get on really well with the people who come from other countries in our classes. Hindu people, Zimbabwean, some of them come from Congo and a lot of other places. I just feel like I'm just another South African. I don't really feel like that I'm from a different country at all. All of us are human beings so it doesn't matter to me to me because God made us as one. Oversea countries call us the rainbow nation. We should love each other as way as we love our people from our countries. Just just respect them because like if you cut them and cut yourself, you're still going to bleed red. They're just the same as you, just different cultures and different backgrounds.
