SA Emoji - Messaging Has Just Become a Little More Proudly South African

SA Emoji is a collection of uniquely South African emojis that allow you to communicate in a proudly South African way via iMessage, WhatsApp, and E-mail.

 

South Africa (12 October 2016) – Looking for a little more South African flavour in an emoji? Well, we have you covered!

In the mood for a koeksister, braai or biltong? What about a trip to one of our lovely cities like Stellenbosch, Nelspruit or Jefreys Bay? How about using truly South African Lingo, Lekker, Haibo, Guzzie or Zamalek?? We have it all! South African and PROUD of it!!!

SA Emoji was developed to capture a truly South African way of speaking and expression that only a South African will understand. SA Emoji provides a unique set of words and phrases that capture the South African culture and its diverse people.

“The words and phrases will not only help South Africans to say what they mean but also serve to foster deeper learnings of the different cultures and understanding of each other.”

“The emojis cater for a wide variety of spheres of everyday life from sport, culture, wildlife, politics, traffic signs, local lingo across languages and many others truly South African images (monuments, scenery and landscapes).”

Yes, there are many emoji apps on the market, and they facilitate effective communication with very few words. However, nothing is as effective as saying it the way you know best and that will be understood best; saying I will be there just now does not mean immediately.

LEKKER is not just an Afrikaans word it is an expression of agreement, excitement and expectation all in one word.

Tshovitsho is instantly recognised in every South African township as an expression of celebration and
excitement.

“In developing this app we want the input of South Africans, visit our web page and suggest new emoji’s or tell us your favourite one, also ask for explanation of those you may not understand.”

You can download the app from the App Store and Google Play store, share it with friends and lets have a real JOL talking the Mzansi way. AWEH!
