Recording my home town Brakpan with Samsung S9+ Part 1

Video made with the Samsung S9+
This is what You can expect if You are using a car with very firm suspension .
Just a quick trip up the road to our town to give people an idea of what it looks like in a typical South African town.
The town of Brakpan is found east of Johannesburg in South Africa

[@ThePixilator]

How sad it is, to be unwanted by a majority when you obviously have such LOVE for your country and kinsman. I wish for you that your town can break off from the rest of Africa's turmoil and just live in harmony. God bless and protect you. 🙏

[@Loolaarosalie]

Love your videos! Don't ever stop!

[@LaundryPrncss]

'Meat Lovers' on the left by the stop light must be the tiger's favorite store lol

[@lupusdeum3894]

LaundryPrncss - Indeed!!

[@minnesotalakes2062]

When I saw the 'meat lovers' store, I thought about vegetarian cat...🐈

[@thebackerlad2585]

[@blablub9198]

Initially, I started watching this channel for Diego and Enzo (I think like most of the viewer's), but I have really started to get interested in South Africa and your point of view on the situation in the country. Thank you very much for providing those interesting vlogs! Greetings from Germany my friend :)

[@yolandacandia7771]

Beautiful! Thank you for showing us your hometown Michael. 😍

[@athmarie]

Nice video Michael, South Africa looks beautiful

[@grahamwilliambarrie3210]

Love these types of videos ! And love to see what Africa looks like ! Great video Michael ! I can remember when you saved the rat and you couldn’t find a place to put it 😂

[@petersmith8043]

This is just Brakban , it's basically the most commen town in South Africa , it's like allabama

[@phyllischarpentier4585]

Thanks for giving us a tour of town. It would be fun to park the car and walk through town and look around in all the shops. We are traveling to your town through you eyes. Can't wait to see part 2. Have a great day!

[@risimatisimonchauke6859]

My man thank you for recording,it reminds me about 8 years ago while I was petrol attendant at Total Henry service station in Springs Road,Vulcania.

Brakpan is a gold and uranium mining town in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The name Brakpan was first used by the British in the 1880s because of a non-perennial lake that would annually dry to become a "brackish pan".

[@purpleshatter9565]

Thanks for the back story, very interesting

[@lahaya237]

barbara pinto thanks mister Wikipedia.

[@marmitenot.]

Gosh...I've been anxiously awaiting parts "2 through 105" but nothing yet! I know I am impatient (and a little greedy, perhaps?). Truthfully I'm thankful for any videos. They make my day. A window into another world, another life. Wonderful!

[@AhhhSukeSuke]

So cool to see a glimpse of your world, totally not what I expected!!! It's so.. Normal, lol. Looks like a small town with tropical trees 😁

[@relentless3735]

Thank you so much for showing us more of the town! It is so nice to see what life is like outside of your beautiful home. It helps so much to see and understand what life is like off the property!

[@michelle7445]

hi Micheal keep up the great work you do with all your videos. amazing as always love them all

[@LeeAnnM]

Thanks Michael; don’t know why you’re so entertaining but I love your videos. Please introduce your family and have them say what they think of your animals!

[@kevinshobbyroom3932]

5:10 A video store ?? Can you believe it ?? !

[@VickieV1333]

I was born in 1951. I grew up watching and loving the Tarzan series. When I was about 10or 11 I discovered there were cities in Africa and I was soooo disappointed! I thought it was all wild beautiful jungle!

[@bibekdas7449]

I was here two years back A beautiful town!

[@Shlayg]

Welp, that's certainly one way to end a video

[@michaeljamisontigers]

new phone ,and memory ran out

[@LeadsTheFallen]

What phone is it?

[@michaeljamisontigers]

Samsung galaxy S9 plus , got it and made this video in 60 frames per second , but had to drop the quality to get the video uploaded today due to the internet uploading speed .I almost did not have a video for today , ha-ha

Hail from northern Alberta Canada, April 3 and we still have over 2feet of snow as spring comes in! love these vids showing and talking about South Africa! Thanks

[@brandonsabrina2541]

It's nice to not see a fast food restaurant, or some kind of mega chain store, every 10 feet. Love the Video Store, I haven't seen one of those in almost 15 years !!! . . Beautiful Town !!!! Thanks for the video, I always wondered what it looked like, where you were from !!!!

[@marynajamison2607]

Nice memories ..Thankyou Michael.😘🧓🇿🇦

[@donnag.3611]

I have never seen such a long road ever in PA in the US! :-)

[@cindyhall5995]

Donna G. Hi Donna, Im in Pennsylvania too, near Philadelphia.

[@lindsy1286]

I love when red car goes vroom, vroom!😂 Thank you for occasionally taking us for a ride! Awesome and soothing. You're so in control while holding a phone! Your driving skills are on point. You should totally make a video on how to drive astoundingly cool, calm and collectively and how to stay composed when people are in the middle of the road! Do you have a Jack in the Box joint there? Aw, that's a really pretty church, I like it has a cross on it. Though I don't go, have you ever gone to church? Haha. What did the ending mean?

[@mrsmommy81]

Very cool to see this!! Thanks:)

[@cassanova9322]

Thank you Michael for sharing this experience with us.it was really nice to see this part of South Africa.

[@jacovanheerden7081]

nice to see a town again where i lived for 12 years, who wants to go to cape town if you can go to brakpan

[@crystalbolton8059]

I love quiet towns like that, I used to live in the city and left to raise my kids in a small country town.I love quiet towns.

[@LeadsTheFallen]

You're probably recognised as the only person in your town that drives an Audi r8 lolz

[@latinasforthewin4274]

Hi! More video like this!!! It’s so interesting to see other countries the streets and businesses, it’s interesting !

[@stephaniemodica7515]

[@tigerwoodz8711]

Michael, you've been to Texas? I think i heard u talk about a cat u thought was yours while u were in Texas. I'm a native Texan, and SA somewhat reminds me of Texas. Great to see u givning us a tour of neighborhood and city!

[@loriwelsh7236]

It's lovely , and cleaner than New York ❤😊

[@kbaise931]

have been hearing bad news from so Africa.keep your tigers close and carry on.

[@danielcoetzee5793]

Fortunately we do not have tigers in Africa. Those things man-eaters. We have lion, cheetah and leopard, though.

[@crazy8boy145]

You should get one of those car phone magnets so you can have the camera face you while you drive and vlog, also I always wished I could see more videos of you wrenching on that Porsche 🏎️

[@NoseyNana]

+michael jamison Okay, I'll ask the Elephant in the Living Room question, but without getting political. Is your home small enough that it won't be seized as a farm? I was quite shocked after hearing about the decision made by the South African Parliament & immediately thought of you. Although in fairness I don't know of anyone else in South Africa hehe.

[@lupusdeum3894]

Nana Ann - That will come later ..

[@darthsoros787]

Nana Ann nothing political about genocide

[@spinningchurro]

I'm also wondering this.

[@michaeljamisontigers]

To just take land is not that easy , it is basically declaring war , I think they talk to quick ! and who will pay the banks back for the loans ,money is not easy to get here in south Africa .

[@robinspencer3505]

Allrighty then... I have no clue what you guys are talking about. I have read comments on the subject here on this site, but now I have got to go do some reading.

[@deannamarie44]

Thanks for the drive. I love to see where you reside. Meat lover store must be a frequent for your boy's.

[@abbyerickson7649]

How Brakpan have changed - I was born in Brakpan and lived therefrom 1974 to 1999. Went to HTS Brakpan

[@wheelmanstan]

Usually in The States, people will want a nice big home along the coast. Did you ever live near the ocean or want to live near the ocean? I've also never seen someone on KZbin be so open about where they live. Usually they're afraid to give out that information. So, thank you for being so open and honest.

[@AntonioinacioInacio-zp7gi]

Nice place to be

[@surajnair7190]

I wish i could also meet my hometown like you but my studies are going on & i won't even get time to do that & i would really like to come in South Africa one day & meet you as well as dogs, cats & my two favorite & funniest tigers Enzo & Diego 🙂🙂

[@danielcoetzee5793]

It would have been nice if you mentioned the street names you were driving on. I knew you were driving down Voortrekker Road. I only realized when you said that you ere approaching the station that you were driving the other way. The other main road that you mentioned, must have been Prince George avenue. At least that was what it was called fifty years ago. I have only been back to ||Brakpan once since we moved 50 years ago. The main road still looks in a very good condition. I live in Roodepoort now and the CBD here is a no go zone. It if filthy and dilapidated and over crowded with street vendors lining every nook and cranny and people walking everywhere in the middle of the street.

[@theawes0me0ne]

Hi Michael! Writing from Texas here! When you said there’s a Texas themed shop in your town I thought that was really cool, and surprising. Its always a little strange for me seeing videos where people are driving on the “wrong” side of the road, haha!

[@ladyarthuria]

I wish all roads in my country like this..Go to Jakarta Michael,u will freak out while driving.

[@evolutionzero1302]

Stay safe out there Michael

[@u.stangl2495]

Brakpan looks like a nice town...how many people are living there?

[@jenniferstewart9012]

Yes, your roads are much better then mine and i live in the capitol of Michigan

[@AhhhSukeSuke]

Even houses appear to be the same style!

[@Vignesh-me5zx]

Your town is calm and organised, Michael. Looks like you are the only person to have an Audi😄. A kind request from me, please get a GoPro for doing these kinda vlogs to avoid risks to you and the others.

[@spinningchurro]

THAT FUCKING ENDING LOL. Did not expect that. Hey Michael what's that loud-ass banging I hear every now and then? Potholes?

[@grahamwilliambarrie3210]

Michael is there any McDonald’s in Africa? ( and I know it’s a stupid question)

[@michaeljamisontigers]

Yes sure , next time I Will drive to the mall and show You guys what it looks like there!

[@grahamwilliambarrie3210]

[@traveltoeat221]

Snappy So the man will go to Mc Donald with his 🐯 after they went to the beach last weekend...😄😄😄

[@damjanilic5596]

Yes, it's right beside KKK headquarters.

[@niceguy2171]

McDonald's everywhere, you go to China, you see it, travel across the seas on the long journey to Australia, and see them all over, where them call them "Mackers" but same gruesome food. Have seen them in Brazil as well, but haven't traveled South Africa as much as other countries.

[@Barra.The.World.]

Yep Bunbury Western Australia feels like South Africa as well as the Whole SouthWest of Western Australia has lot of South Africans.

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

I would never be able to get used to driving on the right side of the car on the left side of the road. I think I'm too old now! hahaha

[@cc.beckford3375]

Does the Audi have air shocks , sounded a little like my Rover when the ECU that controlled my suspension went south

[@kingmufasa8929]

There use to be a fountain in Voortrekker str . It looks like crap now

[@bonniebunny25]

Looks like some parts of New Jersey.

Mike thank you for showing us around !! Your driving laws are much different than in Canada lol Hey next time you go in side stores or your gf goes out shopping can you show us around there to ?

[@LeadsTheFallen]

Inside stores or your gf? Do you mean inside stores or inside his gf? lolz
