What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Ballito?

"In Ballito, it's important to avoid making assumptions about people based on their race or ethnicity, as the country has a diverse population with a complex history. Avoid discussing politics, especially apartheid, unless you are well-informed and the conversation is appropriate. It's considered rude to not greet someone before starting a conversation, so always start with a friendly "hello". Don't be too direct or confrontational in your communication style, as South Africans generally prefer a more diplomatic approach. Avoid public displays of wealth, as this can be seen as insensitive in a country with high levels of poverty. Don't take photos of people without their permission, especially in rural areas, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid littering or disrespecting the environment, as South Africans are proud of their country's natural beauty. Don't be impatient or rush people, as the pace of life in Ballito is generally relaxed. Avoid making negative comments about the country or comparing it unfavorably to other places, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Finally, remember to respect local customs and traditions, as South Africa has a rich cultural heritage," said another expat in Ballito, South Africa.
