The word "fundi" refers to an expert or guru in a certain subject. It is derived from the Nguni word "umfundisi" meaning a "teacher" - also used for someone of high rank, for example, a priest or judge.

Do people in South Africa Speak English or is their accent just weird?

People in South Africa do have their own language....but often speak English as well; although in a strong South African accent.AnswerBy what definition is the South African accent "weird"? Like most accents, the pronunciations in South African English in large part comes from another language, in this case Afrikaans, a form of Dutch, although it is a language in its own right. To many Afrikaaners, English was a second language, so their English was heavily accented. This accent gradually permeated through English as spoken in South Africa, even amongst British and other English-speaking immigrants.It will be seen that the South African accent will change with time now that that country has majority black rule, where Zulus, Xhosa etc have positions of wealth, power and influence and their languages and accents will modify the existing South African accent.
