From an early age, we are taught about the importance of ‘good behaviour’.

We’re taught to be polite, to be considerate, to eat properly, walk correctly and talk in a certain way. 

All of this and much more adds up to the complex rules of good etiquette.

This is an important concept because it establishes a set of social norms and expectations that help individuals interact with each other in a respectful, considerate, and appropriate manner.

We talk to founder and Director at the South African Etiquette Academy, Riandi Conradie about etiquette rules that everyone should master.
