And the subtiltes are just there to help you understand through the Xhosa accent. Oh, and black Africans don't speak Afrikaans, not as a native tongue anyway. Most in the Cape Town area speak Xhosa, which is from the Eastern Cape. In Jo'burg and Durban, you hear mostly Zulu. Afrikaans is spoken as a native tongue by white South Africans of Afrikaner (Dutch) extraction and some Coloureds (i.e. Cape Malays, Khoisan, mixed race, lots of others).

As someone who studied at UCT and worked in Khayelitsha, I can say this.

Xhosa adds an adverb before the noun. So you'll often here a "the" before a noun, as in "the baseball" or "the Phillipi". Incedentally, Phillipi is one of the closer townships to the city bowl, but is very very poor and composed mostly of "informals" which are more like squatter camps than established neighborhoods, and often lack utility lines.

why do they seem to have trouble speaking english, do they originally speak afrikaans?

[tshimegaproductions]

Their first language is Xhosa.
