It's a
common word in almost all African langauges (Afrikaans, Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho, Zulu etc.) throughout Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabawe, Mozambique, Lesotho & Swaziland) for
anything that you can smoke (
Marijuana, tabbacco etc.).
Afrikaans: Jy! Gooi my vinnig 'n
light. Ekke wil 'n bietjie TWAK
rook.
Translated in English: Can you lend me a
lighter, I want to smoke some tabbacco.
