[@jayb7125]

🎉Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Crawford!!🎉 5:24 My wife and I just finished watching your video and truly enjoyed it. We were in Jo’burg 2 yrs ago and loved it. We planning on visiting Durban in July.🙏🏾🤞🏾 Thanks for sharing your journey with us all. Enjoy yourselves.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@jayb7125 Thank you. It was last August.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@jayb7125 Thank you! It’s our pleasure.

[@vuyo228]

You DO NOT wanna be in Durban in July, it's peak winter here around that time and it's cold as hell. Enjoy your summer that side, then visit here in December.

[@isoboy1000]

No Ma-am we don't have private beaches in South Africa, thanks to the Department of Environmental Affairs. No one has exclusivity to our coastline.

[@JuicyJLee]

Nigerians do that and you pay to go on the beach 😢

[@Seeta_sa_gauta]

But I have seen some companies taking chances, at Imbali in Durban.

[@CROCO94]

@@Seeta_sa_gauta You can access that beach from surrounding areas though, but I get what you are trying to say.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

We found that out later.

[@JuicyJLee]

@@Seeta_sa_gauta Suncoast did it years ago had to pay to enter. It has been scrapped for years because even the homeless have rights like all South Africans to sit on the beach and enjoy what God made for us all

[@Biffalovesthis]

Mrs Crawford you look beautiful!!!

[@nuxannharvey4932]

[@BatsiraiMusuka]

Watching from Zimbabwe. Love seeing my people coming home to decompress and refind themselves. We are all one🫶🏽

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@BatsiraiMusuka yes we are!

[@BatsiraiMusuka]

@@WeAreTheCrawfords Thank you for the service you did with this video. I know there are many who do not even know what Afrika is like (and some who are living vicariously through your experience of it). In the long run, our people shall truly come to know that there is an alternative way to be. Thank you for visiting and leading the way🫶🏾🙌🏾

@ my pleasure.

[@biafrahausa]

All shorelines are publicly owned in South Africa - i.e. there are no provate beaches. The Sea-shore Act declares the state to be the owner of the sea-shore and is entitled to exercise control over the sea-shore and of the sea and the bed. According to this Sea-shore Act, the ownership of the coastal public property rests with the citizens of the Republic and the coastal public property must be held in trust by the State on behalf of the citizens of the Republic.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@biafrahausa Thanks for this information.

[@robertleavell9944]

I'm so glad you had a Beautiful time in the MOTHERLAND. It is 1 of the MOST BEAUTIFUL Places on the PLANET...

Welcome to Sunny South Africa, the country of friendships and the best weather in the world. Welcome home. Be warned South Africa is addictive and there is no cure yet. Enjoy your stay.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@emmanuelmbele9355 Thank you! It is very addictive. We’re looking forward to traveling back in the near future.

[@emmanuelmbele9355]

@@WeAreTheCrawfords To ease your South Africa addiction, I have subscribed to your channel.

[@ronm4385]

I hear murmurs of there being a cure. It's called migration or something to that effect. It is known to work, please refer to a channel called TRSA for testimonials.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@emmanuelmbele9355 Thank you!

[@weslinepierre4196]

I want to go too

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

water front is where the beach is guys.did u guys come to Johannesburg

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@0788244394 yes. We were there for 5 days.

[@livingsimply68]

Welcome home 🏡 BTW they lied about diseases ☺️

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@livingsimply68 Yes they did. It took us several years to realize that. Thanks!

[@BatsiraiMusuka]

29:53 Are you for real?! Maaannn, that was nonsense. Anyway… glad you are out here dispelling myths in realtime.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@BatsiraiMusuka definitely!

[@anthonymakeketa5949]

Welcome home, trust me you'll be so sad to go back home. South Africa is addictive

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

Thank you! Yes it is. We will definitely return.

[@jacksonm.6549]

At the airport you said you spent 9 or 10 days in the country? From what I saw in the footage you were in Sandton (Johannesburg) and then flew to Cape Town. Other KZbinrs would have broken this up into 9 or 10 different videos. This was too short. I hope you were in the moment, enjoying everything. Hopefully you learned a bit about our history and visited the Apartheid museum while in Johannesburg. I'm not sure if the Robben Island tours still happen in Cape Town. That was where they held freedom fighters as prisoners back in the days of racial segregation.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@jacksonm.6549 10 days weren’t enough time. It was a lot to take in. We were enjoying ourselves and lived in the moment.

[@JuicyJLee]

During apartheid government had beaches strictly for certain races. Black people had their beach, whites had their beach coloureds had theirs . The idea of private beaches will not happen because we had segregation today the beach is fr all South Africans

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@JuicyJLee Thanks for sharing.

[@Van_Wilder]

When they told your crew that you can’t disembark the ship because of diseases etc…they blatantly lied to all of you.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@Van_Wilder Yes they did. They definitely played on our immaturity and ignorance at that time. Africa is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. We will definitely revisit and all of our friends have been briefed on our experience.

[@ReaonGroup]

Your Captain laired to everyone because that would have been the beginning of the emancipation in your lives. The other guys failed to witness a first-hand experience that could have contributed to a positive for everyone, plus your family and the natives.

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

@@ReaonGroup so deeply true.

[@jovanblom7742]

She's being difficult, but nothing ain't abormal here, yet...

[@jovanblom7742]

She's just doing what she's primed to do - she's a woman!

[@xolilejohn]

Welcome ..as a South African, the idea of private beach, doesn't sit well.. Is something on the list that should be done away with in Africa Oh the story of the Captain? 😂 he lied😁 Lastly, should you consider moving here, visit Jozi for busy happening environment with everything you need, if you want coastal vibe, consider Durban/ KZN for also friendlier environment for Afri Americans

[@WeAreTheCrawfords]

I’m sure. Thanks!

[@SibongileSibiya-h6l]

You better apply for visa to come to 🇿🇦 because USA is not going to be yours anymore think twice brother and sister😂😂😂😂😂😁😁

[@pippoppa8497]

We don’t need a visa to visit South Africa
