So it's always a welcome sight when we see South Africans doing the most, on any day of the year!

She's even created designs that adorn basketball courts.

Not only is Nescafé doing the most with their coffee but the brand also wanted to create a keyboard that also reflected the true 'South Africanness' of the people of Mzansi.

We just love to see it!
