It’s misleading to see a video with an English title yet it’s in another language. Best you include in your video titles that there’s no translation, so the English audience would know they won’t be accommodated, since you refuse to include English subtitles.

[@Azikhale_]

This really makes me angry what she went through and she's not the only one dragged into these foul things by foreigners. She's very lucky to be alive and she's very strong, I salute her🙏 Honestly though it seems like SA women are sometimes very naive, impressionable and are easily manipulated by these people, but when the good men in this country try to address this disgusting problem it's the women who call us broke and jealous of their nigerian boyfriends🤐 still something has to done here the rest of Africa can call us xenophobic tsek man!

[@CbosEasyRecipes7]

Ibuhlungu lento, my question is what happened to the foreigner/s who sent her overseees in terms of justice?

[@ntomboxolojabe2064]

1:05:52 Xa ulambile soze ungabinaive, it's not about SA women from my opinion losisi ebesokola nabantwana abayi5 and ngoluhlobo ezinigerian pastors lendlela eziziqhelanise ngayo kuye ebengenongathatheki and ebengonobathembi abapastor, okokuzala bamphathela amafood parcel every week and akhonto abayifunayo kuye in return like sleeping with her so yena wayecinga uba those Nigerian pastors are godsent 😊

[@Azikhale_]

@@ntomboxolojabe2064 baningi notata abasokolayo, do they run to drug dealing nigerian pastors? Expecting free favours from people you don't really know without paying a price is called being Naive. The story is proof mos kanti awuzwanga?

urootman I love this channel but I don't agree with the English thing, these people need to express themselves the best way they know how , if subtitles are not possible now its fine just let the guest express the experience the best way they now how because its creating a disconnect and possibly omitting certain things
