Dumela, like so many words in Setswana has two meanings. It means "hello" but is also the verb for "agree." it's rather a charming concept, to greet each other by agreeing.
shareI admire, you, admire you a lıt, I have just watched the first 3 of the first season and I am in love with Africa, I am in love with African spirit and I can understand the "African Heart"...
And there is one thing I want to ask, I have been searching for; I want to have a telephone ring of something from the series, maybe the theme.Is there a chance that I can find it ?Can you help me?
I want to carry the spirit of Botswana with myself all the time.
