Durbanite called out over her "posh accent"

There's no denying that South Africans represent a diverse community in more than one way. 

From our food to our music, we are as unique as they come. Another diverse part of our culture is our unique way of talking. One young Durbanite shared that her friend, also from South Africa, commented on her accent. 

Now, if you are from Durban, you can understand that many of us speak with accents. You can usually tell where a person is from or what their ethnicity is based on how they speak. This is not always the case, but some have a gift.

We recently encountered another Durbanite who confused the masses with her unique accent and mixed heritage. 

This time, a young woman named Jessie asked TikTokers if Durban Coloureds speak in a certain way; in particular, she used the word 'posh'. This was after her friend Jordan called her out on having a 'posh' way of speaking. 

In particular, Jordan said that the way Jessie pronounced "Breyaani" and "Roti" made her sound posh. The two went on for a bit, laughing over the alleged 'posh' accent. This proves that we all have unique ways of speaking and pronouncing things as Durbanites (and South Africans).
