Truth be told SA is full of everyone. Thank you for loving our country this way

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Yes indeed

[@lenbeckmann4311]

Man! I enjoyed this. ❤ South Africa is your home. We love you.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Thank you thank you it feels like home for sure

[@user-to1rp9ld2r]

Botswana is also a great country to live in. The people, nature, safety and refuge is amazing there...

[@samp5764]

I'm your South African brother from Eastern Cape, God bless you in many ways and please enjoy South Africa.

[@Seeta_sa_gauta]

Hi Rickey. Your shocks have generated enough electricity, to end the power blackouts . Thank you.

[@dj.conkey802]

Nice one!!😂😂

[@Thabo1009]

So true load shedding is a thing of the past now😂😂

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

hahahahahha I see what you did there

[@Seeta_sa_gauta]

@@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL . Thank you for the video. I pray that we don't lose this spirit of Ubuntu. Yes it is shocking whenever I come across a rude person, like I once did but then, I take into account their background. Please tour within our country we have enough to offer . Some things are under lock and key , however as black people this is our "home". We can be bold to enter whatever space the constitution allows.

[@dj.conkey802]

Yo! Mr Jones, this one was emotional. I felt that. I think watching your family through KZbin has made us really appreciate this country, with all it's short comings. It doesn't seem so bad after all. Thank you mr Jones for this heart-felt vlog. You are a good man!👊🏾😎

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Oh wow, how nice and yes please do embrace, love and enjoy all SA has because it's a jewel indeed!

[@blouberg5254]

Ijooh Ricky, I wish all South Africans could value our country the way you are painting it...thank you. A friend of mine went to another country in Africa and when he came back, the only thing he said was South Africa is great place and we must appreciate our country. The tourism department must hear all that you said about this beautifully beautiful country ❤❤❤

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

In due time, when you learn of the options out there you realized how great, grand and unique SA truly is!

[@kaialeitham8202]

I felt this message in my soul, BEAUTIFULLY said Brother Rickey❤

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

My sister! Yes indeed and I usually don't come from this perspective but it was experienced!

[@kearam2012]

You have such a positive soul, it's remarkable. You speak so positively about our country whilst we South Africans mainly are frustrated with our it. I'm learning a lot from you💖

[@ntombinyembe3009]

Thank you Rickey for continually promoting our beloved country and encouraging others to know the truth untold. You should be paid by our tourism industry❤ We love ya'll. Welcome back from your break and sorry about the inhumane experience. It's okay 👍

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Why thank you my sister hey we have work to do! Glad to be back where such interactions don't take place!

[@AdamEgret]

[@Sibumagazine]

May God bless South Africa.

[@zeentusi9339]

Rickey, you will go around the world, then, you will stop and ponder for a minute, and appreciate what you have back here home. I do this a lot when i'm anywhere else in the world, i will still choose this country over and over again. I wish people could step out of South Africa for just a week or two, then they will learn to appreciate what we have. We need to do right by this beautiful country, we owe it to this country and ourselves. Thank you the Jones family for being authentic. Amen❤🧡✨️✌️🎊

[@lifestylepretoria9181]

We love you too The Jones Family! ❤

Congratulations 🍾🎈

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Thanks family and yes indeed God has truly blessed SA

[@vuyanijamamkele8319]

A profound video, thank you, brother! As native South Africans, we often times take our beautiful country for granted or become negative about it because of the bad news in the media & all the shenanigans of our politicians. Your page & others like it give us the opportunity to see ourselves from a different perspective & remind us of how blessed we are in Mzansi. All the best to & your beautiful family. Subscribed & watching every week!

[@theresawessels3770]

Trolley (cart), Thank you and we love and appreciate your family Brother Ricky

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

You are so welcome and thank you Trolley... I'm learning

[@XXIIISports]

Hi I watch your content weekly. I'm a proud South African; I'm sorry for your bad experience in those spaces. I promise u if u willing to travel in South Africa u will find beaches and landscape as beautiful as any place in the world

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Why thank you and yes this is true and we will get around to seeing more of SA. We enjoy getting the kids around the world for perspective purposes so we will too get around this beautiful country

[@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652]

Thank you so much y brother for speaking for speaking sooooooooo HIGHLY of y country. THIS IS SOOOOO EENCOURAGING AND EDFYING. Some of us focus on negative aspects of SA but of course you are showing us the greatness of our country and the potential we have as its people who experienced some of the things you are reading about in that MADIBA’s book as well as those displayed in the apartheid museum. We did experience them from the EUROPEANS whose descendants are still living with us in this country. African Americans and us South Africans experienced similar oppression of over 300 of slavery(ours happened through Europeans invasion of 1652 until 1994) with visible effects of such cruelty legacy in poverty & other challenges you see on black South Africans. Thank you so much my brother for these powerful words of encouragement as well as offer to assist. We love you beautiful family so much and very excited that you are living among us and INDEED ONE OF US FOREVER. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

[@user-fi3ut1pk1t]

Thank you, Ancestors...Amen! I wake up grateful everyday, thank you for your perspective, Mr Jones. It is truly inspiring ❤😊

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

You are most welcome!

[@nomfunekonosilela3895]

Ricky sorry about your interaction in Greece, I felt it when you narrated it but I'm glad you knew you have a place you could go back to and feel safe. This is your home and whenever the world makes us feel uncomfortable we akways go back home

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

ALWAYS!! Which is a great feeling for sure!

[@MothupiKgopa]

That Greece thing was too cold. Crazy how inhumane people can be. Welcome back as we unleash Ubuntu!

[@zanelemtshali5437]

You look familiar too as if you from here, like i can call you Nkanyiso( Light) . We are happy to hear how you see our country. Big welcome.

[@sofiyabammukardam4119]

The world out of Africa is not for black people. Im glad you find South Africa a place of security and home for you and you family. Thank you for speaking positive abt our country and the people of South Africa. We get a lot of hate from ppl who get refuge from South Africa.

[@mtshalim]

Northern Cape is a province that is forgotten and is also part of coastal

[@bafanamphahlele7945]

Northern Cape is not coastal there's no beaches in Kuruman or Pampierstad

[@tsholofelomocumi4207]

The biggest province in the country.

[@Tebogomar]

​@bafanamphahlele7945 Northern Cape is coastal. There's Kleinzee Beach, Alexander Bay, Grazia de beer Beach, McDougall bay, hodelklip bay, etc. Get to know your country broer.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Well you just started convos about it again, well done lol

[@MoAfrika]

I think its about time we give you a South African name... Mpho (in Sotho) or Sipho (in Zulu) both mean Gift, because that is what you are to us my brother!!!

[@WorldbestDJDuoTV]

🇿🇦🫡 we see you Patriot ❤️🇺🇸

[@viviennedunnington3353]

Love your zest for life!! I have seen so many other African American’s post who feel so much more at home here than the USA. I hope you continue your positive vibes, your family is doing cute 🥰

[@lifestylepretoria9181]

My brother, let's go back to that restaurant in Greece with my cousin brothers from KZN... 😊

[@adrianwillis66]

That story was surprising especially knowing that tourism is funding them any country actually.

[@Christine_M_Jones]

Congratulations on 34K 🎉 Subscribers ❤🫶🏽🎊

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Seeta_sa_gauta]

This video reminds me of an incident I had in Graham's town (Makanda). We were standing in a queue at a store . A lady said she will pay for all our groceries, all the people in that queue. I wished I had more stuff 😂.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Oh wow, you had a good experience!~! I know where we visiting next lol

[@tasneemmathee8024]

well said Ricky

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Why thank you

[@tebogodlamini4194]

reminds me of psalm 91

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Just like that

[@wawa2.2]

Trolley

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Ahh thank you, I thought so

[@Thabo1009]

I agree with you RICKY yes we Respect kids here ❤I'm saying that coz I live in a new location that is majority young couples.so there's kids playing on our street most times so you know you have to be gentle navigating your way home.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Yes, exactly thoughts and consideration like this goes a long way. Much love

[@nomfunekonosilela3895]

Ricky its not Port Elizabeth anymore it's Gqeberha. I know it could be a tongue twister but we are intentional about changing the colonial names to reclaim our heritage. Thank you for appreciating our country the way you do.

[@thabimalepe8156]

I am sorry 😔 about your experience in those countries 😢 in front of kids yhooo

[@hyper_fox7332]

I am gonna start making some preparations for 2025, I would like to visit and also see some of the real estate that everyone is talking about. Orlando, Florida here ...LOL...my son's profile pic. /

[@nanettetaylor6126]

Hi I want to book my trip for February can you give me a list of hotels that’s close to the mall in Johannesburg?

[@tmash509]

Plenty. It depends where you want to be. Around Jo'burg you could check "hotels or accommodation in Sandton, Midrand, Rosebank, Menlyn, etc"

[@kgosiking4228]

Look for a hotel in Rosebank , wont go wrong in Rosebank, everything you need will be in a walking distance among the leafy plush and safe streets, with an Awesome shopping mall in the vicinity, And Hyde park another great mall close drive by distance, Sandton Nelson Mandela shopping square is close too, but also driving distance

[@MosesMatsepane]

Rosebank, Sandton, Waterfall, whatever you do, don't book Johannesburg CBD. You can visit the CBD for art museums, and hipster spots, but don't stay there. You won't have access to the latest, newest, flashiest and coolest things South Africa has to offer.

[@elroyswarts2337]

There are also no psychos who do mass shootings like what happens in AmeriKKKa on an almost daily basis. We don't quite appreciate what we have over here in SA. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

That is true which is a relief as well!!! It's hard not to appreciate what you've grown accustomed to

[@CharlotteLong-nh4pt]

How rude people can be towards black people. Im saddened there are still people like that. Sorry you experienced that.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Yes indeed quite sadden and shocked I did as well

[@kgosiking4228]

Sorry for what you went through in the other country, nobody should go through that, Dude would probably be out of business by the next day if it happened here . There is always gonna be an ignorant person that is racist, even here in SA, I just thank God it is not common here, All my years having lived here, all my life, gone to different schools, had friends and dated people of different races and have never experienced racism, Not saying it wont ever happen but if it does i will at least know it doesn't paint an accurate picture of a lot of interracial experiences on a daily in SA.. we have truly come a long way as a country.

[@shireenmonama5765]

❤❤❤❤

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

All love

[@ashlouw5350]

You'll only appreciate a good thing until your gone from it

[@walterhunter3353]

You remember, they killed that black guy from the states in Greece. Talking to one of their women in the bar and they jumped him outside and beat him to death.

[@faneciaconner-dz7tt]

Very heart felt message. Thank you

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Thank you, glad that it was
