Why I left Korea - Part 1 (Podcast launch)

[@zizojikizinto]

Hi fam! ♥️ I see all your comments and I will respond soon, thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@Nikilitha-Ndamase]

I think the discrimination in Korea relates very much to the one done by South Africans to Zimbabweans, Nigerians, Malawians and to people of the rest of the African continent at large. The bullying that a child at school goes through just for being too Black bc the father is from Zim or Malawi. Them having to learn our Isizulu, Xhosa and the rest of the languages just to be accepted by us, we also never bother to learn a thing about them at most times. I would also leave Korea because being continuously undermined and questioned is truly not nice.

[@khanyakahlebiyase853]

Hawe my exact thought

[@bluesky1685]

That is sad, considering I've seen how we treat people from those African countries

[@zizojikizinto]

I couldn't agree more! We have a superiority complex as South Africans when it comes to our African counterparts. Especially given the current high unemployment and crime rates, they end up being blamed for everything. Added to that, the derogatory names they are called and the terms used to refer to them are so demeaning. We need to do better!

[@Accuface2000]

Colourism is found in all black countries including the USA. Those Zims you defend also make fun of other nationalities. They are prejudiced against coloureds, Asians, whites and other Africans

[@fabianjoy12875]

I thought South African are black

[@drh374]

Today it’s July 15th. The day a Korean man asked me if there’s ice cream 🍦 in my country(Gabon 🇬🇦). I was shocked and didn’t know how to respond…I felt angry and sad at the same time

[@zizojikizinto]

That level of ignorance is really saddening 🥺🥺 I am really sorry you went through that my brother 🫂

[@malikaudauky2889]

If others are just as confused (and frankly exhausted) as I was when I first came to watch this video on "Why I left Korea," please skip to 7:18. The video sold in the title starts there. The stuff there is worth the watch, accurate and informative.

[@asandangidi91]

Thank you so much!

[@sindidhlamini2534]

This is really refreshing to see ❤️someone choosing to come back home to try elevate the goodness of what we have. I have too much to say but let me end it here 😭

[@boitumelo515]

This was so well explained! Super excited for the podcast and conversations. I truly have faith that it will be fruitful and impactful. Can’t wait Ruth🎉❤

[@zizojikizinto]

Thank you so much my sister. Podcasting is so much harder than I thought haha! But we will keep learning and growing ♥️🥰🫶

[@lisangnyathi2496]

You are an inspiration Ruth. I am proud of you for following your heart and prioritizing yourself over acceptance and fighting to fit in a foreign community. Congratulations on your Podcast launch.

[@_justthapelo]

Ms Madlazi? You’re A Queen Indeed! I Can’t Wait For The Podcast 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️😘🥹🥹🥹

[@tsholofelomashiane6421]

Hey Ruth. Oh my goodness, firstly and I've said this before. You truly inspire me and in the same breath, you belong in front of a screen whether broadcasting, presenting. You name it! Then lastly you put it so well about the racial homogeneity. And you are so right, we owe it o ourselves to put ourselves in spaces that raise our vibrations. I never cared about looks up until I came to this country, and how superficial is that because I have so much more to offer than my looks! Thank you so much for sharing. It truly is putting things in perspective for me. I look forward to all that your podcast will offer.

[@ayeshabegummahomed774]

You are absolutely beautiful with a unique style and a grace that trancends thru the screen. A true representation of Africa Strong, Talented and Skillfull. I am shocked that you have experienced this from the Korean community who actually needs you and your skill set👀. I truly do agree with you that Africa and African people should not be defined as a RESOURCE to the world but as a valued contributor and should be appreciated for all that we bring to the "table". The timing of your podcast is on point 💯 with the current affairs that is taking place I hope you are able to make a difference.

[@webstermorrison5235]

[@millae_93]

Thank you so much for this beautiful message… this has been a huge complain from many people ! This awareness is very vital

[@zizojikizinto]

Yup! We need to be more transparent about these experiences of working abroad as fellow Africans. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@mimieaaron5165]

[@khanyakahlebiyase853]

Hi Ruth, thanx for the video i have a question. Do you think that if your situation at home was bad and you really needed to come home having done specific goals would you have come back so early was it that bad? Is it also because u do have a good/strong family support system at home that actually u where like u know what, ngiyahamba. Do u think is as south africans are i dont wanna say spoilt but i cant think of another word honestly anyway do u think South Africans cant handle pressure, we dont have think skin. Yazi sometime lana i see ppl from Mozambique, Zimbabweans are our nannys for years but they have iEducation Esile in their country but because they are here do bekezela. Im just so curious about this cause im also doing research ukuthi thina lapha(Asian Countrys ) cause apperantly nase China ziyabuya they are toooo racist why arent we able to handle situations to achieve things why cant we bekezela are qe really spoilt. GOSH I WISH KZbin HAD A VOIVE NOTE. I DONT KNOW IF IM MAKING ANY SENSE😢

[@busishauntelle]

So we all really left But I’m really proud of you leaving when your mental health was still intact ❤❤ I love this podcast omg ❤❤❤

[@zizojikizinto]

Right!? 🥺 You develop social anxiety and so much insecurity about your physical appearance too. But we grow, and we move 🥂❤

[@nokuthembadube7864]

Uyi Star⭐💯Yaz Mazet.

[@mauricejuniorre7273]

Good job. I think you know the drill. Firstly hope your masters is in Arts/communication and not in Education, that will enable you to lecture in the school of Journalism or whatever you call it that side. Then of cos do your PhD as soon as possible. Start with your local campus, if there is a campus tv or radio, go volunteer. Also in your city, if there is a tv station or radio, go and start there...am sure you already did, just encouraging you that that is the way. You gat this

[@zenani7929]

[@InfiniteWisdomTutoring-IWT]

I would love to be one of the people to be interviewed by you, for that I would make time, any topic, I can list many from how it feels to be a teacher at a school you went to, to how to it to be a businessman teacher, Christian Scientist and many more... I'll hear from you From your bro Brendon Mokalapa Managing Director of Infinite Wisdom Tutoring

[@relebohileinnocentia]

I enjoyed this.

[@zizojikizinto]

Thank you so much for watching and do stay tuned for part 2 🥰❤️✨️

[@qhawekazimadikizela7691]

I am so proud of you for taking the leap of faith and going to South Korea. I am sorry about things that you did not like in Korea, and thank you for honestly sharing your journey about Korea. I wish you all the best with the podcast my BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN. May God elevate you in everything you want to achieve in life. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kartikonugroho2056]

my first day coming to korea I got very warm welcoming from an old woman by getting a rock throwing to my step, yes real rock, I am questioning what kind of cultured nation is korea? just dont be blind by their lied kdrama/kpop, totally false.

[@zizojikizinto]

I am so sorry you had to experience that 🤢

[@cathyzatu1393]

Oh my

[@zizojikizinto]

Yup 😪

[@BusisiweMochoane]

My kind of woman, congratulations babes ❤. Kuningi nje talking about Korea, hope to be part of the podcast in the near future ,when im back home.

[@TeeMqoco]

Imbokodo that is you, Ruth.. Thank you for sharing what you were going through,I applaud you.. I cannot wait to see what other amazing things you have in store for us ..I appreciate you and mostly thank you for guarding your heart and staying strong ...you are indeed a strong young women.❤

[@khosii_kay241]

❤

[@thapelosteven1011]

I’m emotional 🥹 after watching this… The weight, you are immediately deemed ugly if you are fat 😅 There’s nothing cute about learning the language and pretending that their food is wow when they think Africa has no buildings. And you never really get to see these things until you are in their country.

[@Tshegofatsomakofane]

i love it when they pay for everything...after all we are not here to flex but collect the bag and go back home

[@zizojikizinto]

Exactly 🙌🤣🤣

[@collinstimbela]

❤I love you so much

Brooooo! It's so annoying 😭😕🫤

[@Accuface2000]

The first half of your video is a long offtopic ramble on promoting your channel

[@zizojikizinto]

Yup. It's MY channel

[@Naeema311]

Took too long to get to the point, sis

[@zizojikizinto]

It was my first podcast Episode ever 🥹 Thanks for watching to the very end 🫂

[@seektruth5750]

You and I should meet! You’re a woman after my own heart, same age too, I’m serious, also thinking of starting a debate club because it’s important to embolden young kids and equip them with the skill of debating , especially tough topics and challenging the status quo and being able to formulate their own thought . What’s your email?

[@Samukelisiwe_Mahlangu]

I’m so happy for you🥹❤️.

[@zizojikizinto]

Thank you so much sis 🫶🥹♥️
