[@EmbarkBLK]

We moved to South Africa from the U.S. this year! We have been visiting since 2021and fell in love with South Africa and the people here! 🇿🇦

[@lizbetklootpalmer]

I love seeing the joy and art and luxury in South Africa, it's a huge contrast from the "needy Africa" stereotype that is so pervasive here.

[@Umutoni35]

But then I also dislike that we’ve measured “ luxury” to what is similar to European lifestyle.

[@yangasidziya3245]

Hi great video. Maybe a little insight on the actual meaning of the colours on the SA flag 1. The green represents the abundance of biodiversity in the country 2. The blue represents our beautiful oceans thst cover over 2000kms 3. The black represents the indeginous people of the country who also make up the majority 4. The white represents the white population who arrived as travelers and noe call this land home 5. The Gold represents our abundant gold reserves which once accounnted for 75% of all gold in the world and forms the backbone of what we have as a country 6. The Red represnts all the blood that was spilt over the different wars fighting for this beautiful land.

[@SekaSetswana]

welcome to my hood, now let me watch what you shared. I had no idea about the meaning of the Y in our flag. I know about how it was chosen, I didn't know the reason it was chosen. I learned a lot about South Africa from your video, I didn't know Rosebank has overtaken Cape Town/JHB Central (Maboneng/Braamfontein etc) as an art centre as they were pre covid. there is a lot more I was surprised to hear, and yes your tour guides were absolutely impressive, no faffing around, straight to the point unless you are just good at zooming into the crux of communication.

[@hallease]

Definitely a combination of both, our guides were candid about the colonial past and the current economic issues in the country.

[@shareefs]

Oh Wow! That Zulu Tour guide was our Tour guide when I visited Durban, South Africa. He was great. Our driver along with him was an Indian South African by the name of Ali. They were great guides and I look forward to returning back to South Africa. Thank you for the video

Excuse me glass of champagne! 🥂cheers! This trip looks absolutely amazing! I only know a handful of people who have traveled to Africa period. They went to Morocco on a small excursions/but mostly lounging at the resort kind of trip. I have an ever-growing list of countries I want to visit and so many of my favorite artists have lived in and were so creatively influenced by their time in Jo-burg.

[@bluecouchpodcast24]

Beautiful documentary

[@Ntuthu-ZA]

Ethekwini is the Zulu word for port by the way. I don’t think the guide remembered to say it.😂 We stayed far away from the area, fearing Portuguese slaver catchers, until colonizers forced our ancestors to come work for them in Durban, from the early to mid 1900s.

[@JuicyJLee]

Haibo nobody was forced king Shaka was working with the Brits that's why the Brits had to bring in Indians to work on the sugarcane fields. So forced by whom?

[@thembalihlemiya3395]

Beautiful work, come back again 😊 you are super gorgeous

[@lifestylepretoria9181]

There was no atonement my sister. Only a few apologised, litrerally 10 European settlers apologised. The rest of the Europeans settlers are still feeling and acting superior to us. They still own the means of production. They are a minority and wealthier than natives. Actions speak louder than words.

[@FOTruth]

I'm a bit confused, SA gained independence in 1910. The white minority rule dissolved in 1994. But the country's powerful and good infrastructure has been being developed for a century now.

[@kagimanye1757]

To summarize: 1910-1948: South Africa was a self-governing dominion within the British Empire, with Afrikaners starting to gain more political influence, particularly after the establishment of the Union. 1948: The National Party came to power and began instituting apartheid. Afrikaner control became entrenched. 1970s-1990s: The Bantustans (like Bophuthatswana, led by Mangope) were created to segregate black South Africans. These were not truly independent, but rather were puppet states created to serve apartheid's racial agenda. 1961: South Africa became a republic, fully independent of Britain, under a government that was, by then, dominated by Afrikaner nationalists. So, while South Africa gained "independence" in 1910 in a limited sense, it was under increasing Afrikaner political control, which ultimately led to apartheid. The Bantustans, including Bophuthatswana, were part of the same system of segregation, though their "independence" came decades after South Africa's full sovereignty was achieved in 1961.

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

7 59..... Hopefully, black South Africans take the next step and start renaming their cities. As long as europeon names occupy African lands, the reparations will not be complete.

[@tshepomogotsi]

We actually are African, South Africans. There are no African tribes that traditionally describes themselves as 'Black', just as you will not find Asians describing themselves as Yellow. We are aware of the Black culture in the diaspora and how 'it' has evolved, and we accept our cousins' designation of their choice. From a western lens, renaming cities to seems to be a prudent measure to redress. From an African perspective, our most prized commodity is our Culture and traditions, that have survived, tribalism -- colonialism -- segregation -- apartheid and democracy. Our history has to be preserved and not wipe off even these settler and colonial names in some cities. Our African names for the same cities are well known, just not used in the mainstream. Reparations are due to those who were enslaved to build a socitey and country that is not traditionally theirs, but South African tribes seek nothing but their country back, and to be governed properly. Understand that we(Africans) are still stepping on the same footprints that our forefathers and mothers left behind, still converse in the same toungue, breathe the same air and eat the fruit planted by our great grand mama, that is priceless.

[@pelomk9022]

Renaming cities i 0:57

[@pelomk9022]

Renaming cities actually cost money. We have more serious things to worry about and spend money on that that

[@PeterAirl]

We already started 😌

[@beewest5704]

​@@pelomk9022It's like buying rugs when there is no food in the house. There will be a time for that but right now we cannot even afford to employ teachers.

[@spoton8660]

How can you honestly say that South Africa has atoned for Apartheid, because they have added certain phrases to their Constitution, such perspective is horrifically dishonest. In many ways Apartheid in the De jure or legalized framework may have ended, but to my understanding, it very much so still reigns in a De facto sense. Did they return the farm land that was stolen by Europeans and their descendants decades ago, and have they paid Reparations to the Native Black South Africans? Who holds and controls most of the wealth and/or sources of wealth in the country? What percentage of the Native Black South African’s live at or below the poverty level? What is the wealth gap between Black, White and Indian South Africans and why has it persisted for generations?

[@gracefully_favored706]

30 years is a generation to you? Trying to sound smart but in fact sounding stupid. It’s amazing how people who don’t travel or never even set foot in a country yet have so much BS to talk about.

[@isaaccpt6643]

The main thing is education and skills that's where the focus should be. Yes you can give people land but if they don't have skills to work the land and participate in the economy.

[@hallease]

This is a very valid critique and discussion, and I 100% agree on it. Considering that only 30 years ago, the country was literally under subjugation - they're making progress, but as I said in the video, they still have problems.

[@KaraboLekgoane]

Why has it persisted for generations?I could ask you why colonialism persisted for hundreds of years?why did slavery last as long as it did including segregation in America??We are a young country u can't expect everything to just magically happen in just 30yrs come on now?!But as a black South African we I'll tell you we have made strides and we are not where we want to be but we will get there but we have moved faster and quicker than alot of countries we have built a black middle class which is the 3rd biggest after the US and Brazil even though we have alot of our people who are poor and even those who are far better off than in most African countries who have had their freedom 40-60 years before us so I say relax we know what we doing and we know where we going South Africa is not a Utopia I don't know why people from the outside expect it to be when their own countries are not but trust me when I say We got this!

[@SiphoMkize]

I was born and bred in Gauteng, which land must I demand? Your leaders all the black political party leaders owned plots/farms, A white racist organisation confirm there are over 30000 government farm land available - why they keep it a secret -Anc, EFF, MK and many of them?
