In SA, we have a lot of words that are used to explain something different to what the word means. Apparently, in Cape Town, "capital" is widely used when speaking of money, as opposed to geographical terms.

Hilarious TikTok clip defeats Mzansi citizens

People could not get enough of the man and his funny answers. While people were crying from laughter, many explained that "kapitaal" is used to speak of money in Cape Town, so the guy wasn't wrong, lol.

See some of the amusing comments:

@The Advisor said:

“Cape Townians sometimes refer to money as Kapitaal. I see where he is getting it from. So dude is 100% correct.”

@gillthe1 said:

“He’s someone’s pillar of strength...”

@Crystal Van Wyk said:

“Your question should have been what is the Capital City of South Africa. Technically, he is correct.”

@Steven_Bongz said:

“Even the cameraman couldn't control himself.”

@Zeinge YaKalyamboga said:

“When I am broke, I always have money on my mind.”

@noziphonkabinde26 said:

“I died...”

In related news, Briefly News reported that Mzansi's use of English is quite diverse and expressive. A man understood this very well when he shared a video of himself getting taught South African English.

@yungearn loves to share the interesting quirks of South Africa and his TikTok post showing how different people speak English emphasises this quite well. The clip shows yungearn pronouncing different foods in his accent, and the two men correct him based on theirs.

The clip highlights how South Africa houses accents from multiple languages. The differences bring about many forms of pronunciations, an Afrikaaner wouldn't pronounce a word in the same way that a Zulu person would.
