I have seen similar practice in people living in Jozini. I was surprised to see an elderly person kneeling down to us when we asked for directions. I didn't know this is a common practice for Shangaan people, I'm sure the people in Jozini, Manguzi etc adopted this because they share a border with Mozambique and there was some cultural exchange.
It's the same in African culture, eye contact towards elders is provocation or confrontation. I didn't know that it's similar in South America, which country are you from?

Beautiful culture VaVenda! I know at least two other African cultures that share these norms, the Shona culture of Zimbabwe and the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. I am sure there are even more that I do not know about.

Oh my God! We kneel exactly like this in our culture in Zambia. As bembas we lay down on the floor the same way to great or show gratitude. Venda are us, we are them. I am so happy to see this❤
@@tapiwamutize8623 Baganda women in Uganda kneel down when serving food to their husbands and elders. They also kneel when greeting their elders.

The best thing about South African culture is that it’s different even within, as we speak different 11 languages the culture is also different, yet some of the habits in our culture are borrowed from one another: Zulu Xhosa Sotho Sepedi Venda Coloured Tsonga Tshwane Afrikaaner Ndebele Siswati English
Coloured?? That just means mixed race (of 3 ethnicities in your country) every other nation in the world has them. It is not a culture , it’s a biological result of mixing! You are heavily influenced by Dutch than the British (English) if I had to be honest! Like the sausages the Dutch made famous from your nations meat!
I find it amazing that they couldn't find a South African presenter to host the South African version of this show that they had to fly Steve Harvey all the way to South Africa to host it. 😂😂
WOW...IN OUR AMERICAN CULTURE WE HAVE TO LOOK IN THE EYES OF THE SPEAKER IF THEY ARE ELDER AS A SHOW OF RESPECT...THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL AND WE CAN TELL WHAT THE PERSON'S LEVEL OF HONESTY IN THROUGH THEIR EYES...XOXO THE HAT AND OTHER RESPECTFUL GESTURES ARE THES SAME MINUS THE BOWING AND KNEELING AND POSTRATE ON THE FLOOR THAT IS LEFT OF OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.. XOXO
Actually one of your languages has similarities with some of our languages here. Just not sure what's the language but I've heard few of your songs/hyms from Apostle Grace Lubega
In our Caribbean culture, in the fifties, sixties and seventies, one would not dare look at your parents in their eyes or anyone else, when you were spoken too It was the culture at the time How ever when I went to the UK in the late seventies, western culture, I was told to look a person straight in the eyes when talking to them, it was a culture shock for me, but not making eye contact was rude to the British people So looking at your show, we had that head bending or no eye contact culture for hundreds of years when talking to people, it was an African thing NOW I UNDERSTAND
I love and respect VhaVenda our people. They are very special. Venda and our Xhosa are said to be one of difficult languages and very old dialects. I'm learning venda and some of our words mean the same thing.

I might be wrong, but isn't the second kneeling position meant to show respect to kings only not elders.🤔
@@KeorapetseNgakaneNope its for all the elders, kings and husbands included

Hi....Which channel if I may ask?
No eye contact doesn't mean look everywhere else. You must bow your head, look down, and do so proudly

Makhadzi greeted her elders like that when she landed at the airport after winning the BET. Venda people are smart and respectful. Nda
