Coenie Strydom was born in Musina Limpopo on a farm that bordered Zimbabwe, I grew up with all the farm worker’s kids and quickly STARTED talking the language (Thsivenda), at the moment I'm unemployed but was working as a sales manager at Motswako office solutions In Kyalami for 3 months. I’m well known for my motivation and ambition that I bring to any part of the game of life.
How did you achieve the tone, and fluency on speaking Tshivenda?
I Spent a Lot of time reading and learning Venda as-well, and WITH most of my friends being Venda it just came naturally Are you the only one amongst your family and friends who can speak Tshivenda the way you do?
My father is fluent but I must say, my brother of 17 years old gives a run for the money
What difficulties do you have when it comes to the Tshivenda language?
The only difficulties would be listening to Venda presenters who use a much deeper Venda Vocabulary
Besides Tshivenda, what other South African language or any other language can you speak?
English, Afrikaans and I'm learning Sepedi now How do you feel about the social media going crazy sharing your videos as they trend
Well I'm actually still blown away, a week ago nobody knew me, and now everybody knows who I am, I must say it's a big honour and I'm very thankful. I love you South Africa
