His videos are good but his pronunciation is terrible. If I were making such videos, I would take the few minutes required to check the pronunciation online. For example, "apartheid" is pronounced "apart-hate", "Xhosa" starts with a click that is quite easy to mimic, and "fynbos" (fine-bush") is pronounced "fain-boss". And I would also take the trouble to copy words such as "Agulhas" correctly! (I am a dual national, being half South African. I have lived for about 38 years in South Africa, from the age of 13.)

People now think of load shedding (daily power failure nation wide), corruption, high taxes, violence, xenophobia, poverty, job losses, unemployment... But people focus also on the good. Good food, best weather, coolest animals, diverse nature and people and culture.

The Anglo Boer War What they dont tell you is that the British brought fighters from all their colonies to come and fight against the Boers, Dutch farmers. I am currently in New Zealand and at the War Museum here, they describe the Boers as "savages" and uncultured, and that they, the British need to protect the land against these terrible people. So Kiwis and Maori warriors went to fight against the Boers. The real reason for the war was that the British wanted their greedy hands on the natural resources, the gold and diamonds. And.. how did the British win? They went to the farms and captured the wives and children and put them in concentration camps, tent camps, with no facilities, where many died of starvation!! And many diseases broke out. The British also went and burned the Boers farms /crops.. so they wouldnt have provisions.

One of the most shameful episodes in British history. Notice the parallels with war rhetoric and propaganda, still used today? I should have mentioned in the commentary that it was ultimately all for nothing anyway because within 10 years South Africa had gained nominal independence from London and was effectively ruled by the majority whites, namely the Afrikaners the British had si earlier brutally subjugated

Unbelieveable comment in the context of what followed. So once these Boars had control what precisely did they do with this power. They eventually subjugated the majority black population and within a few decades brought in THE most divisive racial segregation policy known as Apartheid. Then threy were quite rightly made an international pariah as a direct result. Oh to a parallel universe where London remained control the Boars may not have lked it but the black majority population may have.

Three things to note: 1. The British only invaded the Boer republics for the second time (after having lost the first Anglo-Boer war) when gold was discovered.in the north (the Transvaal and Orange Free States). 2. The British victors placed Afrikaner women and children in different concentration camps than their black compatriots, hence the the origin of separation and the roots of apartheid. 3. The "apartheid" government of the 1950' copied the racist signs n seats and buses from the American southern states.

Hello Geodiode! I've been watching your climate and biome series in my own free time as well for research for a personal project. I've also been researching around the web about this in my own free time. I have an idea for a video game that I hope to make in the future and thats why I've been doing this (but also because I'm a nerd.) Anyway I don't know if you've ever played or seen gameplay of Red Dead Redemption 2 but the game world is amazing because it represents a lot of the native biomes, flora, and fauna of North America. When your riding your horse through the world it's amazing seeing the landscape gradually change from temperate, lush, green, broadleaf forests, to xeric and cold shrubland and grassland, to mountainous temperate coniferous forest, to true xeric desert with various cacti and desert plants. I want to make a game similar to Red Dead but instead of North America it will be set in Eurasia! I've been researching the biomes, ecoregions, flora, fauna, and climates of Eurasia and its been a cool experience! I've learned so many things that I didn't know outside of America! But its also been challenging trying to figure out how to fit all of this into a game world. The sheer amount of biodiversity in these places is baffling. But just imagine riding through the world on your horse, starting in Europe with the temperate Oceanic broadleaf forests, down to the Mediterranean of Italy, Greece, and Spain, over to the Carpathian mixed forests, then to Afghanistan, Iran, etc with xeric shrubland and woodland, then to the Arabian desert and other deserts in the area, then to the grasslands of the Eurasian steppe, then going up north, to the endless Russian and Scandinavian taiga, then over to the Tibetan plateau, the Indian subcontinent, and finally southeast Asia with tropical and subtropical rainforests. You see, in the story earth has been taken over by an extraterrestial species (not technically aliens) and have greatly reduced the human population to rewild most of earth. Most of earth is now wilderness except for a few cities and small towns. So species and ecosystems that were previously endangered are now thriving so as your travelling through the world you can encounter and hunt lions, tigers, bears, wolves, wild dogs, leopards, monkeys, ibex, red deer, fallow deer, sambar deer, chital, wild boar, hyena, and so so so much more. Anyway excuse my rambling, I would love to hear your thoughts on this as a fellow climate and I'm assuming wildlife nerd as well as anyone else. Thanks for reading my essay.

Thanks for sharing! When reading novels or playing games, I am always heartened to see attention to detail about the correct placement of biomes and climate zones.

South Africa went from a first world nation to a third world country in less than 10 years. Between 1995-2005 things were still normal but then Zuma started with his influence in the country a man that from his own words admitted that he was uneducated to govern a country. Till this day the people of South Africa can't seem to vote on a proper leader and rather vote for skin colour. South Africa is doomed. That reason alone is why people rather say today leave Africa to the Africans.

South Africa is proof positive that you can still starve while walking on a ground inundated with gold and diamonds. Poverty is not a place but is in fact the people that inhabit it.

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="423">7:03</a> I would like to add some more detail to that statement. The English didn't actually defeat the Boer republics, a peace treaty was signed which is called the Treaty of Vereeniging. This led to the creation of the Union of South Africa.

Thanks for your comment. It is interesting that following the war, the country gained autonomy from Britain in 1910 with most governments dominated by the Afrikaner white majority.
@afterburner7847 Жыл бұрын
@@Geodiode Also, although the Afrikaners made peace with the British, there were still a lot of Afrikaners that resented the British. When the first world war started there were groups of people in South Africa that wanted us to join the side of Germany instead of the British. They started the Maritz Rebellion, because they didn’t want to wage war with German South-West Africa (Present day Namibia). The rebellion was stopped and war started in south west africa.

Interesting to hear. Other accounts from white SA'ers though told me they have been attacked outside the ghettos (like with guns in faces - serious stuff).

I think you severely undersold the importance of sport in the social and political landscape of this country. It is a country that goes through many ups and downs - and more often than not the 'ups' are accompanied by a unification behind sport: the 1995 Rugby World Cup (deescalating much of the tension between a newly unified country); the 2010 Soccer World Cup (marking a return of SA as a tourist hot-spot in Africa); and the recent 2023 Rugby World Cup (once again unifying a very diverse nation). On the topic of rugby - you could have mentioned that SA has won the world cup 4 times - more than any other country in the world (maybe a mention of the rugby greats like what you did for New Zealand?) I also think that you undersold the importance of agricultural exports of SA - especially exports to Europe - as we are located in the Southern hemisphere. Lastly, I would like to see you make more of an effort in pronouncing some indigenous names more accurately - this goes for all your videos. You do them a disservice by butchering the names - I know it is hard for people who speak different languages to pronounce things in foreign tongues, but I believe the nature of your "docco's" require you to make a very deliberate effort. Luckily the internet exists and there are many tools to help with this. All this being said - I have immensely enjoyed your efforts and look forward to seeing more videos on other countries.
