South Africa’s most unique names
JOBURG - South Africa is a diverse country and it's no surprise when you come across a unique and interesting name with a beautiful meaning, but what these citizens have on their ID's are amusing.
Most people can blame their less-than-interesting or over-imaginative names on their parents, but in South Africa it seems that Home Affairs has had a hand creating weird and wonderful names for the citizens of the country.
A list of the top ten weird and wonderful names has been compiled and here’s what it looks like in no particular order:
Not even nearly the worst on the list – Home Affairs has found the late, great king of pop Michael Jackson in South Africa.
Have you got a little Captain in you? With a name like Captain Morgna Ndlovu, this guy has.
The third name on the list is Victor Dont-Worry Sambu.
The fourth is Two-Rand Ndlovu.
The fifth on the list may fill you with pride or pity for this young man whose name is Matric Examsion Phelephe.
There definitely is diversity in the country, as seen with a white gentleman whose ID reads Thoko Promise Magagula.
The next name on the list is Foki Voeltjie Mzizi
The eighth name on the list is Pipinyanya Pampoen Tsotetsi.
Finally, and most alarmingly, the last name on the list is Killmequick Sanderson.
Whether it really is the fault of Home Affairs, or the parents, or the atrocious handwriting of applicants that have caused these identification malfunctions, it certainly does provide the rest of us with a good laugh.
