[@JFLOnYourSide]

The "Network" introduction is so sensational!!!

[@ubuntu879]

This is GREAT to see. SUCH memories. More please.

[@Galaxy-ho2pk]

Gillian looks so much like a model from the 80's

[@bbefme]

I remember having different language tunings on the T.V. so my sister and I could watch T.V. in Afrikaans.

[@GoodVideos4]

Regarding South African hospitality evident to all at Jan Smuts Airport - I remember, when returning from a trip to Germany, a sign at arrivals with a springbok, and saying about sharing a sunny smile. Wouldn't mind a picture of that.

[@TheJaking87]

Gillian van Outen eventually went on to host her own show on 'M-NET', which I think was titled 'Premiere'.

[@ShanghaiMilktea_Atrihan]

Does anyone notice that they dropped the paper from the desk at 0:57?

[@vilhelmea]

Yes

[@bmwm3gtr-nfsmw]

Yes

Absolutely

As well as the old South African flag miniature in the desk........

Ongelooflik !! Dankie vir die herrineringe,

[@parasatc8183]

Correct me if I'm wrong but perhaps this is from sometime close to 20 February 1988, or not. Apparently there have been lots of bombings in South Africa and Namibia at that time and it's quite hard to figure out when this happened. Maybe this could not have been about the Oshakati bomb blast in Windhoek. EDIT: I see they just cut into some teletext slides when they were about to report on the bombing incident. Government, perhaps?

[@debeerpaul]

I picked up teletext again on my new LED LG. Amazing that the old system still works.

[@kmfw72]

TV1's airtime was split between Afrikaans and English. If I recall correctly, I would alternate on different days, so on one day from 6.00 to 8.30 it would be in Afrikaans and then 8.30 to 11.00 in English, and then the next day, it would be the other way round. It remained that way until 1996.

[@IronMan-ho7vt]

Gillian van Houten. She was hot!

[@WayneKitching]

Never realised it at the time!

Names of days in Germanic languages are usually similar. Sunday in Norwegian is "Søndag" (letter "ø" sounds like ö in German)

I'm curious for the music of this "Network" newscast (0:59) . Does anyone knows something about it?

For who's interested, the song from 2:06 to 2:21 should be "The Race" of Yello.

[@petrusvanderwesthuizen3692]

Aaah,,,The Spectre Mr Teddy Bear, RIP Tara Robb. Who was the news reader woman with the hair?

[@damagednoob]

Most likely, the Afrikaans bit was an interstitial before the English news. I think all channels at that stage mixed English with Afrikaans. That cable-esque break in the middle was a service called BelTel which was the South African teletext service.

[@GoodVideos4]

About half of the channel's broadcast time was in Afrikaans, and the other half English.

[@peregrinatus]

Dman, who were those news-readers. Gillian somone? and I can't remember his name, great public speaker though.

[@mangarda]

Is it true that South Africa didn't have television until around 1975??

[@xenohtype]

Yes. 1976, to be exact.

[@spencerpetunia8268]

Why the hell didn't SA import TV earlier? Certainly that little aspect about them would stand out like a sore thumb compared with all their affluent and "progressive" self-imagery, ESPECIALLY for all the European people that were coming down to work there from places that had had TV since the 50s or 60s!

[@LS-lk9vc]

Spencer Petunia In South Africa we can't even watch TV as it is the biggest load of shite and propaganda. None of my friends give is shit about TV. please as if TV evolved people. In actual fact it does the opposite. Zombie nation we have today.

[@GoodVideos4]

It was to do with Apartheid. The government didn't want the people to be influenced, brainwashed, by the bad, 'Communistic' ways of the outside world. The country might not have had TV for even longer, maybe much longer. But, a certain major historical event contributed a lot towards the country getting TV. That was the Apollo moon landing. It was an embarrassment to them that much of the rest of the world could see it, but not South Africa.

[@shmuli9]

Quite true. It was 1976, actually.

[@mubd1234]

0:58-Person drops papers

[@kmfw72]

It's a good point - one of the reasons why TV was kept out until 1976 was that more conservative Afrikaners saw TV as a threat and didn't want it at all. Until, 1996, the first channel (TV1) was split between Afrikaans and English, and the second channel, known as TV2/TV3/TV4, and later as CCV, was in black African languages. There are plans for SABC 4 and SABC 5, which will give more airtime to these. KykNet on pay-TV is entirely in Afrikaans.

[@FamtechVideos]

Shame though. SABC 4 and 5 never became a thing.

[@mishacol]

what a country was lost(

[@hairybear7705]

The title should be "Bits and Pieces of the News" Honestly, was it worth keeping?

[@peetduplessis7401]

Yes it is.

oh, its also hilarious to me that it took exactly 6 posts for some dirty people to start spewing racial slurs at one another...the video is just meant to be a look back into our shared history and possibly spur some interesting debate. no need to start flaming each other like that...

[@bmwm3gtr-nfsmw]

0:56 sorry sir your paper please!

[@stardeman]

Sorry, i know you wrote this ages ago but to reply, the Nationalist Government saw it as a potential threat to undermining their ideology and as a threat to "Afrikanerdom". So by abstaining from TV they could maintain their monopoly news broadcasting through the SABC and Radio..

[@kmfw72]

You might like to know that at the beginning of the last century, Irish nationalists and republicans sided with the Boers (now Afrikaners) who also wanted to break from the British Empire. It was only later on that the Irish became anti-apartheid and started calling themselves 'the Blacks of Europe', lol.

[@toade1583]

What year was that? That was during the Boer wars, not after the Afrikaners became the leaders of the Union of South Africa. The Boer war was a colonial war so obviously the Irish didn't the Boers to be colonized by the British like they were. I'm Black and the Irish definitely have be treated in many ways, similar to the Black people when it comes to perception. The Irish and Scottish were literally at some points seen as racially inferior(modern race theory appeared in the 1800s and only became concrete in the 20th century, the Germans thought Slavs, Roma and European Jews were a different race than them and the Irish were seen as a different race by the British and were deemed to be lazy, prone to drunkeness and the antithesis of what made a "proper Englishman").

@stealthkiller2107 The most were Dutch, then the Germans and French Huguenots. Then British, there where not much east and south europeans (the Iberian countries had there own colonies to imigrate to and east europeans...... they didnt want to imigrate. there are very few east europeans who emigrated in the 17th century and they had no colonies. in the 19th there was a big boom of east europeans emigrating to america.
