South Africa's city of Port Elizabeth has been officially rena | Лингвошутки
South Africa's city of Port Elizabeth has been officially renamed to Gqeberha -- derived from the Xhosa language -- the native tongue of late political hero Nelson Mandela.
Many South Africans have embraced the change, although acquiring mastery in pronouncing 'Gqeberha' hasn't come easy for non-speakers of Xhosa.
"It will take a while for the majority of South Africans to learn how to pronounce the new name, especially white South Africans," Kwena Moabelo, 46, told CNN Thursday.
