Avuxeni, and happy Heritage Month! For four decades, Fashion World’s counters have been one of the places where the country expresses its warm welcome and customs in all South African languages — thousands of times a day, with communities that express themselves in the vibrance and rich diversity that is South Africa. Speaking in Xitsonga, the language of the Tsonga people of Limpopo and Mpumalanga, a Fashion World store employee celebrates the month with her community’s songs, dances and traditional food, and shares a welcome she’s fond of: a visitor arriving at someone’s home sits or kneels until the household greets them.
