The truth about living in Zimbabwe | An American's point of view

[@nateskroski7468]

I had no idea my interview could bring so much homesickness and happiness =). You all are incredibly kind and I'm glad you share my love for such a wonderful place and people!

[@IsaacZim544]

You're a legend. We hope to see you again.

[@raine4510]

[@thomasdube9562]

[@mamahazbaima6732]

[@maslinechachona7500]

Im glad to be watching your channel and im glad you ate ishwa madora and matemba 🤣😂😂im happy 💃💃

[@keithcharman4133]

I’m married to a Zimbabwean in the uk. She calls all women “sister, Aunty or mum.” I spend my life in confusion. Also the phrase ah is different to ahh and that’s different to ahhh. I haven’t even started.

[@hawed19]

I am from Belgium and live in Zimbabwe all I can say is sando dzenyu ma zimbo makapenga :)

[@kun1ish]

Hi I'm from Ghana, but I've always loved Zimbabwe. I've never been there, but somehow, my heart is already there. I hope to move there one day and start a business there and hopefully marry and start a family there. I know, their former first lady was Ghanaian and there's also a street there, named after our first president, Nkrumah. I also follow a few of their news channels on other social media platforms. I'm trying to make as many friends there as possible, before I finally move there. A lot of people try to discourage me by telling me negative stuff, but I never give up. This guy's video has really uplifted me and given me hope.

[@PTGonthemic]

awesome we are waiting.

[@rtnyajeka]

Never seen someone so accurately describe living in Zimbabwe

[@westonsavieri4793]

Am not Zimbabwean, but from the way he is describing the food, haaa mdara makanakirwa

[@nellanleya5658]

I like how accurate you were with your explanations👌 Zimbabwean approval is what you get from me😊

[@taachakanyuka4969]

Its so sad the love Zimbabweans give is not what we receive when we are in other countries, even in African countries.. I liked the accuracy, phenomenal and exact life of Zimbabweans,thanks for sharing this with the whole world

[@AmayaRue2360]

I like how he said the classic dish is sadza , chicken and vegetables. Chicken is normally served to honoured guests. You were loved ❤

[@ephraimkanyandula7437]

Zimbabweans are my cousins, love from Malawi

[@shiyeliainkorea]

I just subscribed hahaha who doesn't want to hear this truth about us Zimbabweans. Zimbabweans hit like if u agree.

[@thatzimbomominkenya]

Iwe ka why didn't you share this content

[@sainehonsa]

Walking down the road as a white guy in chitungwiza was probably one of the funniest experiences I ever had,people there are so open and friendly, they don't have much but yet they have a smile on there face. Hopefully I can return anytime soon

[@wadzanaimagwaza3427]

Ummmmm this guy took time to understand Zimbabweans, l personally appreciate you true description of a real Zimbabwean, that is us for real👏👏

[@shumiraimabasa2667]

I've never looked my country from someone's else's eyes. It made me cry. Being away from home sucks. I love how you talked about our food. And the accuracy of your observations is really beautiful. Thank you. 💕

[@mphodube3619]

Wow! What a heart warming description of Zimbabwe and its people.Im half Zimbabwean and South African,when i went there for the first time i was actual left with no words,people there love each other like you cant believe.So welcoming and my best was when i went to the shops and i had only one item being used to SA i had to join the queue i ladies said go and pay you cant wait for this long queue with just one item.I was blown away to see such ubuntu.It breaks my heart to see how most of us South Africans treat them but once you step to their country you are are treated with love and respect.Zimbabweans are just one great humans i have ever met.I pray it shall be well in their country so that someday the whole continent should learn a thing or two about the spirit of ubuntu from Zimbabweans.I just love you guys💕

[@ishaanjassat]

Absolutely love this video, making me miss home so much, my heart will always belong in Zimbabwe. I love my Zimbabwe and its people. His description is so detailed, feel like he included everything about living in Zimbabwe and being a Zimbabwean.

[@tinashekupfuwa]

If every person was like this, we would be having a more peaceful earth. God bless you.

[@Rosa5311]

As a South African I can definitely agree that Zimbabweans are lovely people, so incredibly friendly

[@nos__mas]

If he is not a Zim guy masquerading as an American , then he really came in with an open mind, something all people need to do . He is so precise...even the pronunciation of local words. Good narrative

[@dzedegudzedegu1591]

Can someone give us this mans email , I really want to send him mazoe , or anything that he misses

[@kdramaanimationlover288]

I thought I wasn't going to watch till the end but here I am.

[@JFDSmit-rm6tw]

I've found Zimbabweans to be a lot more polite and respectful than many of the South African locals, also many times they are willing to do more and work harder.

[@nomthadube8571]

You're not Zimbabwean if you haven't had a Bucket bath ✨✨it's actually not bad at all

[@deanluminouslfc]

Africa is not a jungle, respect to this man

[@GodsaveTichadini]

Man! You just made me home sick 😀! What an accurate presentation of Zim culture and life! 🙏 !

[@lizmash2226]

Im trying to figure out if the 21 dislikes are from normal human beings??? Like really! This was a nice description, thank you!

[@doreenkathure1799]

Am a Kenyan and I love Zimbabweans after hearing their goodness. Great news from our African brothers and sisters

[@pierrelucbouma1109]

I'm from Gabon and I have my big brother from Zimbabwe we've been very real close since me met in 2012 I'm from Gabon 🇬🇦 and I feel like we've been brothers for life. I love Zimbabwe music #Gafa I like Winky D, Jah Prayzah etc... #OneLove #OneAfrica

[@sidneykativu3110]

True brother, we hate no one and we welcome everyone from the despised to the esteemed. Zim is a great country

[@michaelsathekge3262]

Gosh now I really want to visit Zim... being from limpopo Polokwane I always get on with Zim folk!!! Incredible people, extremely principled! Arguably the most trusted culture in Africa

[@rudogracegwata6222]

He really made my day. He is of rare caliber like the Biblical Joshua and Caleb after exploring the promised land. A million thanks to him and my fellow Zimbabweans for showing who we really are. May blessed nation remain highly favored

[@rumbidzayimagwa9864]

My son, there is no other way you could have said it better. You made me smile.🤗

[@qbeebee5886]

Really, speaking fluent local words of three different languages. God bless Zimbabwe to it's former glory.

[@finemotifstudio]

I almost cried watching this, makes me see how much I took for granted some of the things that I just see as normal but to an outsider it's a whole experience on it's own. This made me miss Zimbabwe even more

[@batsiraidandadzi8276]

So refreshing to hear someone saying positive things about Zimbabwe.

[@siphosibanda955]

I don't know when this video was done or when he stayed here. But I can safely say that this is one of the most authentic and genuine description of our country 🇿🇼. More often we have these negative comments on our people and how we live. Yes we don't have the best of everything but we try to lead a decent life. We are a loving people. Am glad to see you say such about our country. It really shows how connected you were and interacted with the people around. You had a good experience of Zimbabwe and thank you for having a heart to remember the lives that made an impact on your life during the stay here. From just how he described the events and experiences you can really tell that he lived the experiences. We continue to pray and hope for better days for our people and our country. Zimbabwe 🇿🇼♥️ shall rise and shine. My beloved 🇿🇼

[@ViolaLottering]

I love how he spoke with such love and kindness. I'm here in Zim and he made everything so possitive even having no water/electricity. Amazing

[@stanleychaya7970]

If only everyone was as nice as him. I like the way he complimented Zimbabwe like that👍👍

[@southernafricanews7985]

How can he pronounce Shona words so accurate like that, l'm shocked. I love this guy!!!!!

[@artkinhlungwani386]

Yes you're basically Zimbabwean, need a Zimbabwean name I'll call you Muhluri, a Shangani name for a victor for you've conquered the cultural barrier, you know Sadza, Ishwa, Madora, Covo, Matemba👏👏....

[@salvadorvilacio]

I agree with you, I still remember the day that I went to Zimbabwe to study there at Africa University I applied online and I had to go there but I didn't know how, I found a person in town who went with me to the bus station wish was a little bit far away 👏👏👏👏

[@isasamu6371]

Who's this guy? His perceptions are so refreshingly interesting

[@TapiwaMakosa]

Dude drank undiluted Mazoe kkkkk 😂😂. Had me smiling. Just frank talk from a human to human point of view

[@SonicHawk90]

Its awesome to hear some positive feedback about our neighbors!

[@rutendogomwe1325]

I'm Zimbabwean and this was a very accurate description of our food and the mamas and the people in general.... considering all the negative media we usually get it's refreshing to see such a positive description of the country for a change

[@robbrent]

This is one of the nicest videos I’ve watched in a while and the way he gets very emotional at the end shows how genuine he is. So respectful and I’d love to follow his life story. Zimbabweans are respected by a lot of South Africans where I’m from.

[@playgirl7305]

When they have daughters in marriage age they call you 'my son in law'. That's my favorite one.

[@nokuthabanyashasayi5195]

Wow i love this i cant stop smiling...he went in with an open heart and mind and thank you for giving an unbiased opinion on Zimbabwe its very rare...most people have this idea that in Zimbabwe we are backward and all that but you are showing the world the real Zimbabwe, thank you so much ❤️

[@tebogombalate5937]

Nice to see someone who enjoyed Zimbabwe, I also like it here

[@taongampofu7586]

he's so emotional about leaving Zimbabwe this man is a saint

[@avriljoseph7537]

Its great to hear someone speak so positively about our country.... thank you for reminding me that my country is beautiful.

[@bleusempo]

If everyone was just like you generally the world would be a peaceful and better place. 🙏

[@urbangoddesszw9586]

Anyone else watching from 🇿🇼 lol this is low key adorable☺️

[@romymac7133]

Thank you for accurately representing Zimbabwe.We are very respectful to visitors and we have always been raised to be that way.This video is everything😀❤️❤️❤️❤️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

[@chiedzamuringi819]

Wow. I think he went to zim with an open mind. In the western world they are bombarded with negative stuff about african countries. In the usa sone eat the rattle snake, coyote which is dog-like, snails, snail like stuff called mussels etc, crabs shell fish !! Dude, come back and sabhuku will give u yiyr iwn stand kwa Murehwa so that u will grow your own organic stuff and raise organic meat.

[@julliebhosha1196]

Am proud to be a Zimbabwean and thank you for letting our culture known to those who doesn’t, #muchrespectforyou❤️

[@zinemeki3017]

You truly went to Zimbabwe with an open mind and had a good time just doing the ordinary things. I am in Virginia and am from Zimbabwe. I appreciate your review which was intriguing and captivating at a basic level. If you want more of Zimbabwe get in touch with the Zimbabwean community on WhatsApp. What church did you go to Zimbabwe with?

[@NomaNoir]

Qumu’qethu gecu’qethu ... My heart ❤️ this makes me miss home so much !! Glad this came up on my recommendations. Thank you for getting to know our beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

[@fungayimachekanyanga8941]

When he is talking he is salivating as well thinking of good tasty food . You have really made me miss home . Thank you.

[@jayleetzvevo460]

You're speaking so softly like a true Zimbabwean. That's how we talk, with a smile, fun and love always

[@tellymas4572]

Quite a true, honest and good description of Zim... Zimbos are generally loving, humble and hardworking people... We will rise again!

[@takundatrishchiriseri7535]

This was really fun to listen to as a Zimbabwean. There are things we take for granted or see as normal in Zimbabwe like addressing elderly women as mum. I loved this ❤️🇿🇼

[@angelinemapungwana7626]

When i saw the title i was like ohh now what again,but i listened all the way through ,the intriduction and the presentation reflects true Zimbabwean spirit of Ubunt(humanity) thank you so much for appreciating my culture which i miss so much.you truly blended well and am sure you are trully missed there as well.

[@mqakisongwenya3306]

Give this guy a Zim diplomatic passport, what an ambassador!!!

[@darrendube7379]

This guy is literally Zimbabwean now

[@AdrianTATEOfficial]

How I know this guy is Zimbabwean is when he said BASICALLY! Then goes ," am saying basically too much!" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@racheln2412]

We all hate capenta 😹😹 yet we soldier on 💪🏿 tirimo

[@noriyamc3745]

This so touched me. You have described life in Zimbabwe too well and made me miss home.

[@hectorsolomon1269]

[@tash-tae]

I appreciate the genuine love you have for us Zimbabweans. The way you are expressing the love you got from Zim that's amazing. I know we so very welcoming.

[@mutemomunetsi1307]

You are the first honest person who knows zimbabwe for real we really love you big up

[@chiedzachimhanda8467]

I actually really enjoyed listening to our lifestyle..I'm like wow yahh that's exactly what we do.. it's just amazing when someone describes it in that appreciative way

[@lorrainealleyne7576]

The little fish are like what we call bamba in Jamaica as a child. Love chicken feet.

[@violet6921]

Hwauuu! It's wonderful and uplifting to hear someone tell it even better than l can do as a Zimbabwean. God l am happy there are people who honour and respect us like this when others see negative things. Amazing isn't it. Blessed is your open mindedness.

[@nomthadube8571]

That's true the kids thing of saying "I'm fine" 😂 😂 😂 😂 even after Hi.... Ah ah wow your pronounciation "Salibonani"... 👏🏾 You learnt very well wow

[@MaiMagoo]

I’m so happy someone in the diaspora understands our friendliness😂 Being Zimbabwean I inherently smile, give hugs etc and I struggled with the response I got when I left Africa. People look at you strange for being nice to them 😂 thanks for shedding light on our beautiful country and people, we appreciate you!

[@munnya614]

Wooow.. 😊😊... Much love to you bro, l think that's funny, ... We are a really amazing people

[@cathrinecathrine9766]

Thank you my brother 😍😍😍Zimbabwe is a good County and good people

I’m impressed you are very emotional pray for us that we may see you again in a better Zimbabwe

[@mrblackzw]

Never heard a more truthful account of Zim , u were surely in Zim n very honest , we love you too man

[@waviation783]

So true of Zimbabwe There's no better country to belong to than Zimbabwe. Keep doing good my fellow Zimbabweans. Proud to be a zimbo. Its unfortunate how we are being treated outthere even by our neighbouring countries. I love my country.

[@dee.mellow]

Man, this is so informative and eye opening for someone whose never been to Zim. I love your non- judgemental open approach to other cultures. As a Zimbo myself, I do appreciate our beloved country is going through a lot right now. However, It’s heart warming and humbling to learn (through your testimony of appreciation ) that our country still shines through the foggy status quo. You certainly didn’t sell us short. Nuff respect!!

[@tapiwamusendo6438]

Why is KZbin not recommending this? Thanks man, this is classic.

[@kimberlynyongo5383]

Thank you for telling the world the truth about our country and our people. The world hates us but one day they will know the truth and love us as you do. May God bless you , brother.

[@wendymtisi4984]

This guy is making me miss home😢come backkkkkkkkk

[@berylackermann8240]

Born and brought up there. Always said the Zimbabwean people of all color are generous and friendly. My heart breaks to see how they have suffered over the years.

[@gordonsmithsa115]

[@relentlessstern4934]

You've earned my respect.. You were so precise and you made me feel even more prouder of where i come from and for that, thank you!!

[@lovemorencube4268]

Thank you youngman for apprciating Zimbabwe it's pleasing to hear someone from America appreciating us Zimbabwe. This young man is very positive I salute your objectivity. Thank you so much please come back to Zimbabwe and enjoy yourself.

[@d3rossi]

Wow, such a positive opinion! I really wasn't expecting his description to be this beautiful and accurate, Always great to take a moment and appreciate my nation.. I'm now homesick! 😪 #ProudToBeZimbabwean

[@afrikameals]

Nate is so accurate, I think he can make a good diplomat, teaching outsiders about our beautiful Zim and it's people.
