The Venda culture is one of many in South Africa. The Venda people are primarily located in the Limpopo province. Venda people speak Tshivenda, and it is one of the eleven official languages. The traditional greeting is a type of call and response, which includes a deep bow that symbolises deep respect and helps to start a conversation. "Ndaa" is used to greet men, while "aaa" is used to greet women in both formal and informal contexts. Venda cultural garb is noticeable with its vivid colours and patterns. The Venda traditional wear is a sarong with traditional accessories, including necklaces and bracelets.
