Af: By die V&A Waterfront was die atmosfeer feestelik.
En: At the V&A Waterfront, the atmosphere was festive.
Af: Heritage Day was in volle swang, en mense het met trots hul erfenis gevier met dans, musiek en uiteenlopende kosstalletjies wat tradisionele geregte verkoop het.
En: Heritage Day was in full swing, and people proudly celebrated their heritage with dance, music, and various food stalls selling traditional dishes.
Af: Tussen die gedruis van besige skoppers, het Elsa en Arno stadig gewandel.
En: Amidst the hustle of busy shoppers, Elsa and Arno strolled leisurely.

Af: 'n Pragtige hangskildery gemaak van herwinde materiale.
En: A beautiful hanging painting made from recycled materials.
Af: Dit beeld die pragtige landskap van hul tuisdorp uit.
