I still remember like it was yesterday, every time we had to run away from the SADF … they were looking for my dad and my two uncles . We would be carrying blankets and pillows, like fugitives in our country. I still get anxiety just from thinking about what my family went through. Seeing how they are treating our children at schools makes it so hard to forgive , seeing how unequal we are as a society . You still controlling majority of our land and I’m still the one expected to forgive when there’s was no apology. I used to be so frightened, until today I don’t have a good relationship with the police.

Wow thank you for sharing. #respect

@@jaycameronofficial You are welcome

[@themburoyalty2179]

Im sorry you had to go through that

[@skiski1504]

This is such a deep conversation opening up fresh wounds. Do you really want to go there @Maximum impact lol? I'm Zimbabwean living in Zimbabwe (I had to mention that, sadly) and when I hear a South African saying this it makes me shed tears!

[@skiski1504]

I used to be very angry about this operation Dudula coz I just don't get how SAns are SO angry about the presence of other Africans in their country or spaces. I'm now reevaluating that perhaps since South Africa is the youngest democracy in Africa (with weak African leadership as is across the continent) maybe they're manifesting all that pain that they are still carrying. It's only a generation away from apartheid the people who experienced it are still alive. So are the perpetrators. It's mind boggling. The struggle for Africa is still ongoing we stand by you SA

Great content Jay.Thank you

We need black scholars to rewrite our black history

The power of history is often underestimated.

Whites are willing to do whatever it takes (the most evil things unimaginable) to achieve their objectives. The Boers were long sighted and knew their water prone and tiny country, the Netherlands, wouldn't be enough to sustain their future generations. And so once they stepped on the beautiful terrain of South Africa with its vast mineral resources, they were wiling to do whatever it takes to make it their new country. Mandela really tried but it's just unfortunate he wasn't able to totally liberate South Africa like Algeria where the French had also declared it their country and had settled there. Algeria expelled every French citizen after their war of independence. The Netherlands is currently overpopulated in some sense. They have a housing crisis so big that they are missing around 1,2 million homes. There is simply no space in the Netherlands otherwise the Boers would have left. Hence they would do whatever it takes to retain their culture and wealth. Black South Africans should be very vigilant and not think this war is over.

[@skiski1504]

Everytime I look at a white South African I can't help but think so this is the person! Nguye lo! I mean, I don't know how Mandela convinced everyone that let's just forgive and forget. Let them stay and keep everything we all South Africans now! And everyone bought it rainbow nation and all. All I have to say is South Africa please take some lessons from your currently poor cousin Zimbabwe and remember we used to be called the breadbasket of Africa. If you wanted your child to have superior education in southern africa you sent them to boarding school in Zimbabwe

[@walkwithorr]

There were also white people in the struggle, that's why the ANC was never about black consciousness or Pan Africanism but about equality. Read Mandela's Rivonia Trial speech to understand the true picture of why SA is what it is today racewise.

[@enaelias4697]

This piece of history is very deep, thanks for sharing I’m hungry for more.Jay are there any history books that I can purchase?? My favorite subject

[@Kendralink777]

How devaatating, degrading and humiliating is this? We, the Royal Bloodline of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are slaves in our own lands to the gentiles, a recessive, inferior, kind of a human race. The lack of knowledge of who we are, is killing Us!

[@TheIrieman15]

@Sam Kwak 😅🤣

[@fatimalobi6382]

Degrading and humiliation does not surprised me, it's in their DNA. The question is, can they stand their own medicine?

[@veronicasealey7548]

Such a sad history I cannot even imagine how humiliating it must have been and we’re always the ones that have to forgive them we better get smart and not have a repeat of this by others

[@blessedsuamas.h9409]

I still recall every moment of apartheid era in Namibia too. White supremacy government...torture and massacres towards black who tried to raise their voices...i was very young but i still remember many accidents in 1980s...including the bank bombing incident in 1988....that video brough so many memories and i just became very emotional ..🇳🇦 .I hope that mr Jay will visit a former Robben island prison, where former president Nelson Mandela and former Namibian president ( H.Pohamba) were kept fr many years as political prisoners ..

As a South African starch it's binder of life... Chemical that was impose by Europeans just like suger and cow milk(not Nguni Cow)... I was so likely that my Xhosa grandmother teaches me all about natural remedies.

[@themburoyalty2179]

Siphiwe Mthimkhulu was also poisoned by the apartheid regime . Your Xhosa grandmother a very wise lady

[@walkwithorr]

His story of guessed birthdates is similar to my parents and their siblings. Those who got lucky guessing were those whose birthdays were on historic dates.

[@donmeow]

The bit about electricity is not true. I was born in '84 in the north and we had electrified homes in our township. Other than that, the man did a sterling job.

[@thewincoshow8936]

Sorry man I can’t forgive or forget where was God when you needed him.

[@kN-nh5nj]

@Sam Kwak Exactly, it's survival of the fittest. The smartest, craftiest, strategic, and ruthless person always wins.

[@blackapples4744]

Sam Kwak and Kobby Nuamah… You are both wrong. You will find out when the sky opens up and Jesus’ descends on a cloud with a angelic military to take this earth back. He will restore righteousness and peace. He is God in the flesh. Read the Bible. Visit a sabbath Day Church or call/email one in the USA. Ask them the history of Jesus’ Christ and his purpose for mankind. People have been created for a purpose. Don’t go against this. Ask a teacher of the Bible who can lead you to certain Bible scriptures and will explain the imminent return of Jesus’ Christ. This event is soon. Google these below. Ask the importance of keeping the Sabbath Day Holy also the statutes: Spring and Fall Feast Days. You may watch these on KZbin. They are all LIVESTREAM.

You are GOD.

[@nowelaZA]

I don't want to take too much away from such a fantastic video on our history but there are a few inaccuracies that need to be corrected: #1. Well over half of SA was electrified before 1994 (Eskom was formed in 1923), we had electricity in the rural areas and townships I grew up in. However, it is true that +- 30% of the country, particularly poor, black rural areas had little to no electricity. These are the people who only had electricity after 1994. #2. Most people knew who Mandela was and why he went to prison, but of course we had areas that were so rural and isolated (and didn't receive the right education) that they needed to be educated specifically about what the 1994 general elections were and why they needed to vote.

The brother tells our history with such great care. 🤍🤍🤍🤍 "I have seen what happens when one person has superiority of force over another, when the stronger appropriate to themselves the prerogative even to annul the injunction that God created all men and women in His image. I know what it signifies when race and colour are used to determine who is human and who subhuman ... I have experience of the situation in which race and colour is used to enrich some and impoverish the rest " ~ Thabo Mbeki
