Hi Friends,
A kiss, a smooch, a soentjie or whatever you call it – some cultures either embrace or loathe this act of affection. Martin Bester went on a kissing prank at the Jacaranda FM studios today and amongst those pranked were The Late Show host, Carla Mackenzie and Liesl Laurie, Saturday Breakfast Show host (former Miss South Africa and World 2015) who gave Martin a run for his money and smooched him right back!
For many, kissing comes with one’s culture and Carla shares the same sentiments. She’s a lover at heart and quite generous with hugs to close friends and colleagues – when it comes to family, she also prefers an endearing kiss. In South Africa, grandparents and other close relatives embrace one another with kisses on the lips to show their affection.
