I am so happy that you can’t hear me reading this out loud… the South Africa. In me calls it a l(ee)chee and the anglicised part of me l(eye)chee – it’s a to(may)to to(maaa)to scenario here. If you’re still with me and are having a chuckle at saying it out loud… I know you just did ? let me know how you pronounce it please ??

Cheers and happy Saturday guys and dolls.
