All South African cultures consist of subcultures, that is, they are a culture-rich country, that includes the English, Afrikaners, Xhosas, Zulus and even South African Indians. However, I will talk about only two subcultures.
Izikhothane
The youth subculture called Izikhothane, who live in Soweto, where they proudly don expensive designer name brand clothing that goes way beyond their own financial status. They also walk around showing people the money they have while sipping on highly priced alcohol brands, such as Hennesey. Also, Izikhothanes take part in a somewhat bizarre ritual where they go to other neighbourhoods and burn their own expensive (sometimes brand-new) clothing, just to get a status in the community.
Kom Ons Braai
The most well-known South African subculture of all is braaing. It’s so popular, that most of the country recognizes Heritage Day as National Braai Day and they all organize big gatherings where they can stand around the fire and cook meat.
The subculture of braaing started out mostly between the white Afrikaners. From there is spread throughout all cultures and now is more of a social phenomenon. We even have our own reality TV show based on it called The Ultimate Braaimaster- which is much like Masterchef, except on the braai.
