I'm not talking family vacation to Disney World or something here but actually *living* abroad as part of that other culture. AND/OR is one of you parents NOT South African? Either criteria make you a TCK.

Diaspora's in general breed more TCK's. However there are MANY reasons TCK's occur (military, diplomacy, religious moves, etc.) <br /><br />So in effect you are a TCK 'effect' of the diaspora though not a part of the diaspora yourself.
