It’s 2023 baby!
Now that the new year has started, it’s safe to conclude that festive is finally and sadly over, meaning that it’s time for us to go back to all the realities of life.
On Feel Good with Andy Maqondwana, Andy asks listeners to delve into what their festive seasons were like; catching up on all the nitty gritties of their “Dezemeba” (as we call it in Mzansi).
But wait for it, there’s a slight catch to this. By giving Andy all the details about their festive holidays, listeners had to do all the explaining in Afrikaans, specifically exploring what we all know as “Mondeling Maandag”, talk about a throwback moment!
In a voice note one listener, in Afrikaans explains how she didn’t have much of a holiday because she was working through the festive season.
Hey Andy! My vakansie was nie n vakansie! Ek was by die werk!
Another listener who goes by the name Lerato explained how she throughly enjoyed spending her festive season with her in-laws.
Hello Andy! My vakansie was baie lekker! Ek het my vakansie met my skoon mense geniet. Dit was wonderlik!
In a live call one listener tells Andy about all the good things that he has found during his “vakansie”.
“My vakansie was een van die lekkerste vakansies ooit! Ek het n nuwe kar gekoop. Dit is n splinter nuwe kar! Ek het ook n nuwe liefde gevind. Ek het geen klaagte. My vakansie was bare goed!
