If someone from South Africa tells you he or she will do something "just now" don't think it means right away. It is a response that basically means "in a while" or "when I get to it." When someone says "just now" it could take him or her ten minutes to respond to you-- if you're lucky. It could also take 10 hours, 10 days, or possibly an eternity.

I always enjoyed asking if someone meant "just now", "right now", or "now now".
