Really like the way you listened to the first guy in the blue shirt. He came with a very negative attitude, was full of anger and accused you of causing the problem. But you didn’t attack him back. Instead, you asked him a series of questions to understand why he felt that way. That’s just amazing. The second guy was more articulate and logical. He shared his view in a calm manner. So the viewer can weigh his arguments and make those decisions. The third guy was just a nut job 😂😂😂

[@makeafricagreatagain04]

Thanks 🙌🏽

[@wb1738]

I appreciate you and the wife for showing this settlement because those people are suffering just like anywhere else in the world. A lot of the suffering is due to the love of money by people at the top of society who have the means to control people .

[@listenup2882]

Black people have been suffering for hundreds of years. Welcome to the club.

[@XY-rh3if]

The first interview with the first White guy was a really poor interview. We never really got to understand what he meant by "People Like You". Those words translates to different meaning in different parts of the world. For example, he could hace been saying rich tourists like you, Black People like you or something else. He should have been pressed for specifics. On the other hand, I'll be surprised if he has a beef with Black People 😂since he claimed they all get along with one another.

You can't possibly own over 80% of the farmland and yet expect emphasis on White Economic Empowerment. It's only fair that emphasis is more on Black Economic Empowerment. Let's not forget that Whites control atleast, 70% of the South African Economy and this is originally Black Land. This is just my personal opinion from Nigeria.

[@tikaalik]

@@listenup2882That kind of vengeful thinking is exactly how the ANC look at it: “Reverse Apartheid”. Ironically the spirit of apartheid lives on in the ANC, minus the strong economy and efficiency. And yet they take it further, as they also think they are also superior to poor black and colored people as well.

As a white Afrikaans guy in SA, I must say that the first bloke has some nerve on him for saying that, the second guy I feel has little sence, not a lot just a little... Lots of these guys dont really want to work or put effort in getting a job... Addiction is a big contribution to this lifestyle, and even tho the second guy comes off more intelligent, I feel he was kind of hoping that you would donate a house or some cash, feels like he was sugar coating everything he said to gain something. I dont agree with the old regime, and neither do I agree with the new setup in SA, we as citizens (all races and colors) have to stand up together against the money hunting corporations! They only spreading the hate between races through social media etc to keep us all divided and through that they are winning power/money and in the process sinking an amazing diversified country throug bribes, "tjomie tjomie" etc... I feel also that even after the elections, who ever wins, the country will be the same. The big guys have secured this country's wealth to themselves and their family and friends. We have to put an end to this together, thats the only way forward. Just my opinion

I don't see informal settlements as a place of poverty for all that dwell in them. Some people live in those places because 1. They can't afford municipality rates. 2. They don't want to pay municipality rates. It's unfortunate that 90% of murder is rife in those places. Everyone is affected by poverty, and there's 3 to blame: 1. Politicians for corruption, dividing people, crime, etc. 2. Retailers for hiking prices to reach max profits. 3. Citizens for keeping on voting for corrupt politicians, not standing together to overthrow wicked governments.

Have you ever considered the reason why so many are unemployed? Think about it. Don't deny it. The reason why we are all suffering is because of bad policies passed the the ANC government such as BEE & BBBEE where cadre deployment is rife and people are hired because of the colour of their skin and not on merit. Even education and health facilities that we all depend on are rife with this idiotic policies. I.e do you want a good pilot or a very bad one just because he is black/white?
