In South Africa, the terminology of the various hookah components also differ from other countries. The clay "head/bowl" is known as a "clay pot". The hoses are called "pipes" and the air release valve is known as a "clutch".{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}}

The windcover (which is considered optional for outside use{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}}) is known as an "As-jas", which directly translates from [[Afrikaans]] to English as an "ash-jacket". Also, making/preparing the "clay pot" is commonly referred to as "racking the hubbly".{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}}

Some scientists point to the [[marijuana pipe]] as an African origin of hookah.<ref>"The Mysterious Origins of the Hookah (Narghile)" [http://www.sacrednarghile.com/en/mystery.html The Sacred Narghile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220081816/http://www.sacrednarghile.com/en/mystery.html |date=20 December 2016 }}</ref>
