You know the people of Mzansi cannot wait to hear your opinions and stories, and they are excited for that lekker sense of humour you will be bringing with you all the way from NYC.
But we can't lie to you, Trevor. You know the saying: The more things change, the more they stay the same? …Well, not in South Ahh, Trevor. In South Ahh, things have changed. So much so that we're writing to you so that you don't come into the "Mzansiverse" blind. Call it a refresher course based on new developments since you left for the US.

There's a lot to relearn before you get here, so we had to devise another plan to test your, and South Ahh's, knowledge of the Mzansiverse, and we did. It is a 'Swipe Left' game off our QR codes.
