In New Zealand, ways to say goodbye are:

  • "Goodbye"
  • "E noho rā" (from a person leaving)
  • "E haere rā" (from a person staying)
  • "Ka kite ano"
or less formally:
  • "Bye"
  • "Hei konā rā"

You don't, Zimbabwe is not in south africa.

Zimbabwe. Speaks english or shona, in english its the same. In shona, its maskwera sei, = how are you.

In South Africa its afrikaans or zulu, or english.

Afrikaans = who gan dit. How goes it.

Dunno zulu. Sorry
