I laughed for little while then I started to really feel it because everything depicted here is the reality of a young BLACK person in South Africa. Thank you for presenting This without prejudice and with so much effort and hard work. As a South African young person this was so relatable and it was straight to the fact. You really went out for this one. ✊

[@VastlyOG]

I swear every youth individual felt this while watching bro, the struggle is literally too much. 😭

Most youth should definitely watch this, to get a grasp of what's actually happening in this sinking country of ours. Awesome content as always and thanks for the laughter and knowledge.

Its sad how this video hit the mark on the situation. Its honestly depressing being in the youth as almost everything looks hopeless.

This is deep guys. I'd say its a southern Africa's problem - coz we face the same struggles in Zimbabwe, and I can also speak for Zambia!

[@eshare8723]

this is not only affecting south africa but most of african countries. Remember as long as videos like this are made. it would make us realise our position. Thank you it was fun, educational, reflective this is the best of Noko Mashaba video I ever seen since I watch these videos

[@stanfordmuzoka6703]

As much as it highlights social problems affecting the youths in SA it also shows, failures in decision making. Misplaced priorities. This is a masterpiece.

[@virusdetected319]

Social Economic issues are not only affecting SA, but Africa as a whole. This is depressing to most youths, sadly resulting in crime. 😢😢😢

[@collinphahlane7527]

We don’t have millions South Africans working in any of African countries at a particular time. Foreigners are working in SA.

[@virusdetected319]

@@collinphahlane7527 That is very correct. Then imagine the hardship those foreigners face in their countries. Clearly shows it's harder than S.A., otherwise they wouldn't seek refuge there. We are proud of S. A., it is the only Country that Africa looks up to. S.A's hardships are our own.

[@nyahti8]

This is amazing, you tackled many issues so well, we've all experienced some or all of them in our lives. I loved seeing how the girl selling mealies ended up on TV, very heartwarming.

[@malikpayz]

A lesson here, never look down on others who are hustling in their own way coz tomorrow they might succeed, whilst you struggle with your cleverness. Look at that mealies girl story. So start small, be a fool among people, dont undermine that business idea and see where it gets you.
