gham

When a person is gham, it is meant that, that person's personality is motivated by it's negative cultural aspects or traits.
This includes speech, body language, thoughts, influence on others... Basically the personality. That's what I said (•‿•)

Gham

It's basically unsavoury behaviour often found in Cape Town hoods. Examples of gham behaviour include walking around in public in pyjamas, taking one's front teeth out for reasons unrelated to dental health, using ugly swear words like "your mase p**s" in inappropriate settings, and the list goes on.
