Laat Nag ou TV ads in Suid Afrika

[@neliomc1]

my heart misses a beat every time i remember south africa in the 80s....

[@501764727]

It seems like life in SA in the 80s was amazing, clean and safe. A total night and day difference from what it currently is now. I look at the current state of it now and it looks like its almost uninhabitable and extremely unsafe. Maybe Im wrong.

So nice to hear this-used to listen to Radio Orion when working nights in Pretoria in the late 80'S. Been in the UK now for the last 10 years-this brings back such memories. Hell I miss SA.

[@corry777]

yeah who would of thought in 1988 that it would be nostalgia in 2008? i was born in 1985, but those days in south africa looks much better than now. anybody have a time machine?

[@manhattan85]

Fascinating story at 8:00 about the DJ picking up his son at the airport. This is why late-night radio is an exercise in wasting time.

[@zsifk3212]

Notice that it's only 22:15 and TV is done. Those were the days. LOL

[@zsifk3212]

Doing National Service, based at Langebaan Road AFB. Just about 5 months to go before the end. What did they call us? "Ou Manne" I believe. Funny, a "ou man" at just 18 years of age. Probably busy preparing for our base participation in the Air Force rugby week at Dunnotar. Those were easy and difficult times. All at the same time.

The Lion of Orion. He is going to roar until four! Die leeu van die eeu. Met die plesier tot vier!

[@velleskins]

fokkit hoe lank terug was dit. my ma het my altyd vroeg in die bed gesit. ek moes dit seker gemis het. of was dit in die late 70's toe was ek nog nie eers in beplanning nie.

1988

[@TheJaking87]

I could be wrong, but I don't think 'Teledata' provided some services that the U'K's 'Ceefax' did, such as subtitles for TV programmes.

[@jeromedevilliers8593]

Who was the radio presenter?

[@ekweetbeste]

one fact must be made. apartheid kept things under control and the economy strong and the dead bodies out of the morg

[@yardlet6]

You got a democracy. If enough people get fed up vote them out.

[@putneyboer]

hey, check that orion top 20 at 7:07, beds are burning! underneath the radar! great tunes.

[@corry777]

who is this band from 02:50 mins? sounds like a cool song

[@UnKynneyValley]

corry777 If you're still alive, go to 7:20 and look at #12. You're welcome.

[@cory8606]

[@CjAjable]

Nou weet ek hoekom ons altyd kon see toe gaan toe ek 'n kleuter was en daarna was dit net "te duur"...

[@spokest]

Ja, as jy nie in die lokasie woon! Ek was baie trots op my swembad in die tuin en my tv en my motor ens. Ja dit was goeie tye - maar ek en jy is witmens, NE!

[@holdenhq75]

I wonder if I should call the hotel offering R29.00 a room

[@FamtechVideos]

That's not the same price now.

[@jamesleicher]

@@FamtechVideos they were good days

[@FamtechVideos]

@@jamesleicher I was never in the world during the 80s to 90s. I was only there in the mid 2000s until now. Edit: But the economy was thriving and that was good. The only bad thing was racial segregation.

[@Ahfx777]

True.

[@makeout4paul]

Radio orion sucked! Radio 5 was cool! Someone forgot their recorder on, hahaha!... and taped something over 3 thousand people would come to watch!! hehehehe! :D:D:D

[@FamtechVideos]

31 thousand now.

[@nettasca]

Petshop Boys I think --- dont know the song though.

[@yardlet6]

@ekweetbeste Which went south during the boycotts,people fighting back against the Nats and the knowledge that you were defending a system that would make Jesus Christ gag. Let Malan and Vorster get by St. Peter with that s--t.

[@yardlet6]

The ANC is not Mugabe. Plus your description sounds like the apartheid government. Stay black baby!

[@saffarazzi]

Check out the cheap prices... ha ha ha

[@FamtechVideos]

The rand was so strong back then.

[@Neotanium]

hahaha

[@yardlet6]

I have not heard of the ANC killing people who did not agree with them. If you are talking about the struggle with Inkatha that was known. Tamp down your paranoia a bit.
