It was worth my time listening to your views and as an African from the township I have my issues with the ANC and corruption angers me to the core for it ripps off especially those who has no understand of it's dire consequences but are rather a blind loyal electorate. Thanks for the show
@860924kpbyue Then you clearly blind and looking at all the parties the same because the PA is nothing like the racist EFF nothing like the sellout DA and nothing like the corrupt ANC or The RACIST Freedom Front Plus
@@millanbruce3798 ALL political parties are the same globally (especially in South Africa) with no exception! the partisan system is a problem globally, remember that South Africa belongs to the global community which is mainly controlled by a select few. No matter which party comes into power, it will always be the same until the global system changes. Liberating the people will only happen if or when the true powers that be decides they want it to happen. PA, ANC, DA, etc none of them have what it takes to tackle the global powers.
The butchering of SARS and the removal of Scorpion was the turning point that should have told us where we are heading. It was a sign that ANC wanted to do what ever they want without accountability
I am a Cape coloured i am so worried about South africa its going down quick i voted Anc in 1994 i soon realized i made the biggest mistake ever,currently nor voting anymore i can see miracles need to happen in Jesus name,i dont hate anyone, neither do i hate the boer i speak afrikaans love my language,love SA THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DOING ENLIGHTENING OTHERS THAT DONT KNOW ALMOST 60 YEARS OLD,I WOULD SAY THE BOER HAS DONE BETTER THINGS FOR THE COLOURED PEOPLE,ANC MUST GO
Most of my Afrikaner friends have their own businesses, and I think we are just resilient in that way. Must say my favourite clients are black people, they are funny and so optimistic. I think the media & politics puts out a very untruthful picture of how the normal day to day citizen gets along with each other. I would like to see more positive news on the media, but that does not sell I suppose. Hope we can turn this country around, I'm very optimistic about that.
Good day, You are so right on your comment. The question to ask is you deal with so many blacks on a daily basis yet why haven't they killed you? remember you are a boer. 2nd question to ask is why do white people deliberately refuse our explanation? Remember it's our song.. Malema spoke about peace all over the world on that speech and yet the only thing that whites heard was murder. Those murders are crime and are not unique to farmers. Affriforum took that opportunity to mobilize white people and incite fear on them based on the reality that murders do take place on farms. Trust me black people have no interest in killing you not even Malema, He lives in a white suburbs, wear white clothes, eat white food, uses the whites phone....it goes on and on... if he kills you he will lose all those. Malema once made a statement that white people are like trees.... and we know we can't leave without them. Just because he fights white privilege & racism and threatens to take farms Affriforum placed "swart gevaat" in whites mind...yet they are your clients.. I know it doesn't sound fair to lose the farm you bought.. that's another topic...but Affriforum connected the dots to use this even though it's far from the truth. The problem is that whites don't often commit such crimes in south africa... they are mainly done by black and being black myself I do acknowledge that.. but that doesn't mean whites are not capable.. Krugersdorp is proof and it was initially believed they were black.. No black person came out and said we will kill boere because malema said so...as a matter of fact all blacks even some whites come out and defended the song...yes it may be offensive to a different audience...why don't you believe us when we sayy we won't kill you it's just a song. Lastly go do research on mapungubwe it's also on youtube...you'll see you have been lied to about black south african history.. Oragne is doing the same thing..."Mandela don't exist in their history and that is what they teach their children.. Don't always believe what your own teach you... I know when you oppose them they excommunicated you and call you all sorts of names like "Kaff*R Boetie... they tried that with Charles Theron and she said what she said about Afrikaans because the was deliberately forced to joing Affriforum and that aggravated her.. look at the DSTV Challenge Afrikaners are always forces to join even if they know it wrong... DSTV is owned by whites.
As a black SAn I can tell you that we respect white people very much. Our politicians are the most corrupt fuckers who just try to divide us by reminding us of the horrible past and they are very successful at that
I live in a street where the majority of the residents are black people, and we came along very well, if there is a problem, everyone comes together and sorts things out. It is only the politicians with a microphone down they through that make people angry.
Reading Denys Reitz account of his time in the Boer War at age 17, reminds me that there was no “South Africa” before the 20th century. My grandfather JB Taylor founded the “National Bank” .. the “nation”was the Transvaal Republic. We need to listen to this man and get involved. Dankie Mnr Roets.🌹
@@stlouisix3 Indeed he was. Sadly he died just months before my parents were able to come back after the war. I discovered his story years later while in the Eastern Transvaal.
@spiderman-jv8we Im as much a South African as anyone else. We've been here for Generations. If you dont want us to be brothers of the same Nation there will be a big problem soon for both of us.
@spiderman-jv8we he wouldnt be my brother, but my son. Id prefer her to come home with someone of the same values, philosopy and way of life as us. Id rather have her marry a "Kholisi" who respects and appreciates her than a "van der Merwe" who would beat her. You are so stuck in trying to be a victim that you victimize yourself. Its only evil to keep your heritage if you are white.
Great insights. The more complicated a government makes tax, education, government soe's, medicals, infrastructure ect the bigger one hide fraught and corruption.
Thank you Ernst. I really enjoyed the overview. It was plain and simple. Only problem, it was too short. I could have listened for another hour. You have so much wisdom and experience. Blessings to you for all you do🙏
Hi Ernst. All the people in Beautiful South Africa just want a kind, considerate, foregiving and altruistic Government where people feel safe and comfortable in their day to day lives. Most people want secure employment and a secure place to live and something to look forward to in their lives, whether that is a good education, or just a happy time with friends on the weekends. 🌹
“Most people” ,yes. Unfortunately crime is a problem, so those few people need strict policing, which doesnt happen, so crime is a major problem. Second big problem is poor service delivery which is unnecessary, but difficult to turn around, but no one have tried yet. Third is the corruption from good people? We cant live in a dreamworld.
I honestly think that BBEE was the beginning of the grab. Politicians ( aka Poser), was given first dibs, and then tenderpreneurs came along and politicians demanded a slice of that pie, and the demand for pie slices just got bigger and bigger...
You can see this happening in the US, Australia and so on where minority community are running things to the detriment off the communities. In the US, liberal cities run by black mayors have become dens of criminality...No consequences for crime.
A balanced, educated, well documented and most inciteful talk. You have knowledge and a way of looking in a broad perspective of how politics ie. the people in power have the ability to maneuver situations to suit themselves. Please TALK louder and more often to make our people and all institution aware !!!! We must talk and oppose injustices. South Africa is suffering from "Reverse Racism" promulgated by the government and by the eff. Keep talking , Ernst Rood , we need you.
I lived in Mozambique for 17 years and close to SA and SAfricans. We use to dive in Bazaruto, Moz, a lot of friends from SA, Rhodesia's and Portuguese in Santa Carolina, until 1977. There was a strong SA tourism stream towards Moz. The world changed and we also
As a black South African i think it is important to start rebuilding by VOTING ANC OUT OF POWER AND NOT ALLOW EFF TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE ALREADY DESTROYED SOUTH AFRICA
Very interesting video. The ANC seems to be profoundly rotten to the core. The corruption, and incompetence has made a huge mess. Some ministers are incapable of even looking coherent in interviews and they defend policies that make no sense at all if the priority was anything other than protecting endemic corruption. It's sad to see what has become of South Africa. This is a timely warning to other countries, including New Zealand, where out current governments actions has some real similarities with the ANC.
I'm concerned about the fact that I am a teacher and know a little bit of our history as a country I too was taught this history..even taught a bit of the French revolution...but here's the problem..the history is completely wiped out and kids from twenty years ago and now are taught our history started by mr Mandela..which isn't true ..its as if every thing we were taught is now wiped out..
@daughterofsarah6172 .. Nevermind, the true history as we are well aware, will never be forgotten, because that is the absolute TRUTH. There never was and never will be a rainbow nation. That was just a figment of mandela's wild imagination.
Outsourcing I think is the reason for the failure. What is our options? Is it just but to vote for the lesser evil?? Witch party would be "The Lesser Evil" ?.🤷
As a black parent I can tell you that even our history is not told properly. My children often come home and question what the teacher or textbook says . They are able to do that because as a parent I decided to be in charge of what they learn politically . I want my kids to know the truth so my kids also know about political figures such as Delarey and other political factors which shaped where we are today. It may be controversial to some but I feel its important for children to learn about all political figures and understand why they are lauded as heroes by their communities even if media or society doesn't recognise them. So with that I say visit both black and white monuments , museums etc.
As usual, well presented, factually correct and diverse. And lucidly delivered. I always learn from you and look forward to the next ones. With thanks!
@@alastairaspara4554 hi to you - you are the precise meaning of my favourite Afrikaans word , which if you translate the English word "Cough" into Afrikaans and you drop the "H" and replace the "H" with a "P" and then shuffle a couple other letters around you will eventually come to that word which describes you . MAYBE - because it seem your are a little shy in the department of intelligence -
One very important item not mentioned, although obliquely, is the role of excellent education amongst Afrikaners. Attaining an excellent education was of the highest priority amongst many Afrikaner families. It is essentially education that divides South Africans - not politics. As when any person is well educated, they have the cognitive filters to see through the paranoia and falsehoods promoted/stoked by - let's get down to brass tacts - intellectually lazy politicians. Therefore having excellent educational institutions that are blind to political influence, is vital towards building a citizenary that have an independent personal identity outside of state influence and state dogma. Education frees the mind from becoming captive/enslaved to propaganda and state control. Education is the foundation stone of individualism of mind and purpose. Many African families see the value in a good education and are therefore far less influenced by state and party politics; and in this lies the future of South Africa.
Its too late. After 30 years we should see the fruits of education. The chance was there 30 years ago, but now the country is to weak to turn the education wheel. Maybe 5-10 years the country completely collaps in its former structure.
Most Afrikaans parents invest a lot of energy and time plus discipline re their children. This is a lesson others could learn from. Yes its hard with parents struggling to find the basics. Vote wisely for those who have a proven track record. You dont have to be best friends but working together will achieve much more.
Unfortunately, the education quality has been dropped and education has very little funding (the budget is huge but the actual spending is minimal) so South Africa is unable to produce enough well educated people to create an educated majority.
I think the biggest mistake we made is having MPs be from party selection. Every area of South Africa should have an MP. I agree South Africa has gone through a lot of the social challenges that other countries will still face. A functional multi cultural society is one where we acknowledge our differences and work together using each other's strengths. We aren't there yet but there's already some examples where goodwill + good governance is enough to send a community in the right direction. The next 5 or 10 years are probably going to be tough but there might be great things on the other side if we can hold on.
we the other countries have already faced this , SA is late to the game , we are still in living memory of the racist crap that SA was and so are those in SA , now you have to find a new way , good luck
"A functional multicultural society is one where we acknowledge our differences and work together using each other's strengths" No thanks! it is not working it is more of a problem than a solution. Orania is working perfectly there is no racism, no unemployment, no corruption etc why do you want to go back to a system that is not working? South Africans are not interested in multiculturism because it is not that important it is out of fashion, so forget it and start managing this country.
A functional multi cultural society I can't see. Look at Northern Ireland, Belgium, and many other countries where whites can't live side by side because of religion or culture. Not ever going to happen here. Orania is the only way out. Cultures need to group together.
Very insightful especially your comment about hope. I would like to add my 2 cents. I believe what creates hope is faith. Of course, as a Christian, that faith is based on the Bible and God's word. What many seem to fail to notice is that as atheism increases in especially the western world now, the more "wrong" things seem to go. This is not new, if you look at the Bible and historical/archeological evidence you will realize (especially in the old testament and ancient history), that the theme seems to be consistent with a lack of belief, a greater focus on self-pleasure and self-importance; and the eventual misery that this causes which of course results in some self-reflection and an increase in faith until things become good again and the cycle repeats. It is interesting to see this happening in the modern age and with the internet in almost real-time.
Those who are still supporting the Springboks should realize that, by doing so they in effect support the racist quota system and therefore also the principle behind BBBEE, EE, EXC and the allocation of water rights based on race. So, when they come to take your house, your pension fund, your business, savings, private school, private hospitals, medical aid fund etc. you should be jubilant because your support was an integral part of making this happen... The ANC is already using the success of the Springboks (and the lie of the "rainbow nation") and specifically the success of the quota system as the reason for the full implementation of all the other racist laws... The blacks have much stronger principles than the whites, NONE of them supported the Springboks during apartheid...
I agree 100% People of all races and faiths should be asking themselves: 'What lies beneath the public façade and how do my actions contradict or support my stated beliefs and my sense of morality?' In the final analysis it is what the individual does that defines the individual. Talk is cheap, and keyboard warriors are a dime a dozen.
Sure turn it into a race issue. Your very statement is not only non-sensical but racist. Pitting one group against another, race baiter. Rather focus on issues in Macedonia.
My dad got attacked on his small holding farm residence in a place called Bishopstowe in KZN this last thursday morning. He luckily smashed one in the face with an axe. His wife got assaulted badly but they survived. Every brother and sister, get yourself as armed as you can!!!
@@ericscaillet2232 WHILE I AM NOT DENYING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH CRIME IN SOUTH AFRICA BUT TO MAKE OUT IT IS HIGHER THAN IN MOST CITIES IN THE US IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE (CHECK THE STSTISTICS)THE STATISTICS OF CRIMES AND VIOLENCE IN MANY STATES IN THE US AND SOME IN EUROPE ARE WAY HIGHER THAN THOSE OF ANY CITYS IN SOUTH AFRICA DO YOUR RESEARCH. BUT THE EUROPEAN AGENDA IS ”CRIME IS MUCH HIGHER IN SOUTH AFRICA” SND THAT IS THE NARRATIVE WE MUST BELIEVE,
Ernst, dikwels verwoord ons ons uitdagings as "probleme", maar deur ons "probleme" eerder te verwoord na "uitdagings" is die natuurlike strategie van benadering die "mindset" om oplossings te ondersoek . Die term "probleem" laat dikwels die "mindset" van magteloosheid en 'n "mental block" om oplossings te vind. As Afrikaner het ons nie probleme net uitdagings.
This was such a brilliant break down. I am so sad that I am currently looking for ways to get out of South Africa because I love my country and I know how wonderful it can be here. Unfortunately, I wake up daily to news of murder, hijackings, robberies and assault and I can't sit around and wait until my family and I become a statistic. Law enforcement is a joke, service industry doesn't understand customer service and today I read that 2500 of our prisoners were set free to make space. It's not a way to live. It isn't fair. I had a family to be happy and love life but all I do is check doors, call kids to make sure their doors are locked in the car when they're out, try to recognize loiterers in our street that walk by more than once, get in and out of the car as quickly as possible, lie awake at night listening to noises, etc. It's making me ill.
Not rich but that's the thing - around here they will kill for a pair of shoes ..so nope, everyone is targeted on every level, Precious. It's very sad. @@preciousprecious7581
Dankie weereens vir wat julle doen. Ek verstaan nou waarom NHI deur gestoomroller is: dit moet as wetgewing staan met die BRICS beraad om Cyril se meesters te behaag.
As a black South African in my early 40s I have experienced both “Apartheid- black oppressed rule” and now “The democratic rule which is not properly run” I fully agree the governing party ANC has taken advantage of this to enrich themselves through corruption that has gotten out of control while the poor still suffers almost the same as during the apartheid times, the majority of South African ( Blacks & Whites) condemns this and are trying hard to deal with this that’s why the ANC support is steeply declining at the polls. On the other hand there’s also the reality of the effects of Apartheid towards the population it is big it cannot be down played as Roets is doing - black peoples still lives in horrible conditions because of Apartheid and yes also because of the Current corrupt government. To the rest of the world listening to this, it would also help to also listen to the other side as well so you can get the clear picture of what’s happening in the country. I fully agree as a country we are not in good state now, things are not well at all, but it’s because of both the current government and the previous Apartheid system combined, not just one. Thus these two has to be dealt with. Unfortunately he will only speak for his people, hence I suggest you get the other side as well to have a better understanding, and make a proper conclusion.
Absolutely! No point not speaking about the ill's of apartheid. It has to also be mentioned, also what happened before apartheid with colonialism. Horrible acts where commited by whites to the other races in South Africa. But yeah, first things first is we need to all become independant from the state and build our communities and have its own systems like whats happening in Orania and a few other "black" & "white" townships around the country which is the point of this video but yes! absolutely history cannot and should not be ignored, we must never forget about the suffering in this country
@@mr.centrist5789 Dont you think all our governements past and present where to blame for the countries suffering today? Edit: Im not blaming anyone for "my own failures" Im actually somewhat successful and dont feel sorry for my self unlike what you might think. I worked hard for it too.
@Mdudumkozi..i think u should read up on Scorched Earth inorder to gain proper perspective..there is a HUGE difference between a colonizer and the Boere/ Afrikaaners..we were decimated and left with nothing..no house no land no stock and no family..everything burned and destroyed but the clothes on the backs thanks to the english..27 000 women died in the consentration camps..they were the first in the world to be experimented on with vaccines..37 000 zulus also died in those camps..no black in this country ever had that happen to them during apartheid Ever...it took the Afrikaaner 40 years to build this country into the strongest richest countey africa has ever seen..we never sat in a corner and cried..we never blamed the apartheid inforced upon us by the english..we were not allowed to speak our own language or be educted in it..the same BBee laws we see today were also enforced against us just in a different form..it will do u good to read up on what our forefathers had to go thru so u may inherit a fully functioning powerhouse of a country..which is now a stone throw away from being 3rd world...u blame apartheid No my friend, what u should do is bow ur head in shame and take responsibility for the fact that 80% of all black kids under the age of 10 cant even read a full sentence..let alone look after a household or run a country..because of apartheid..no...because of greed in any way form or shape..to hell with ur fellow men or country as long as u get ur piece even i u steal it..and That is a Choice NOT apartheid
Nice one, just want to add that pushing white people down.. won't make black come up which bee trys to do, we need good education and and ethos of building.. and building business not and ethos of breaking down
Enjoyed your talk from South Africa - watching from Canada. I have just watched a video on you tube which I suggest you watch it is called "Chasing Freedom". They visit Johannesburg and Cape Town which they think are world class cities. They are Afro Americans and had nothing but praise for your country and cities. Canadians and maybe the rest of the world know very little about SA and are not very interested in your problems so you have to paddle your own canoe. They in fact think Afrikaans is a black tribal language. Extreme liberalism in Canada and the USA is causing extreme political problems here so you are not the only ones with problems. The Biden family has taken 50 million in bribes - has allowed uncontrolled cross border immigration of 6 million people into the country so changing the very make up of the States. So lets say that each country has its own problems. I think as a non academic that what you need is a change of government in SA - a government that appreciates the virtues of capitalism and gets away from Globalism. I think it is treasonable allowing everything in from the far east and not making everything you need yourselves. Do you need that screw from China when half your population is unemployed? Elon Musk a "son of Africa" can resurrect your power grid. Gijima can resurrect your railways and so on. I think SA has wonderful potential - just put in fresh blood
Ernst you speak a lot about the "Afrikaners" as if the English have not been here for more than 200 years, and don't share a common history and present condition in many, if not most, aspects.
The UN is an evil entity, but I believe that BBEE was the major beginning of the greed- everyone wanted a slice of the pie, the politiciians got greedy and asked for their extra slice, with a dollop of cream.
One of the greatest tragedies in South Africa is the lack of appreciation and understanding of the Gospel message by those who are conversant with scripture. Spiritual legalism has taken the place of the glory and liberty offered only through the Gospel! The focus is around, not only the 10 commandments, but also the Torah, with the Message entrusted to the apostle Paul taking a back seat!
Thanks very much Sir Roets for the history. Sir, South Africans just need a better life for all that was promised in 1994. We still talking inequality for citizens in South Africa, unemployment by the majority who suffered the most in the past, no decent houses but shacks for the majority. If I may ask, Were the decisions taken in 1994 supposed not to benefit every citizen but some? So, Sir, if everything was done right in 1994 I don't think we would be where we are today. Our laws are no well understood by some citizens, Truth be told. You Sir, you know and understand our constitution and its laws better. We hear democracy but we look around it doesn't make sense. Please work together you politicians. Go back to the round table and fix the flaws. Sometimes people tend to adopt ideas that don't fit their way of life, 🛐✌️🇿🇦
Be very careful using the term unbiased truth. Although I agree with much of the narrative, I believe it cannot be described as unbiased. The word truth is another concept that one must use with great caution. These terms are very much paradigm reliant.
The fatal flaw for South Africa was Democracy... whose inherent flaws have been known for more than 2300 years; Socrates hated democracy for the very reasons why South Africa's democracy has failed miserably. He considered voting something that only the wise should be permitted to do.... i.e. assuming that everyone would make rational choices and therefore pick the most capable leadership has always been a fallacy. Popularity contests never result in a choice of the most capable, most moral, etc. Just as we would never democratically vote for pilots for obvious reasons..,. popularity and emotions should never factor into such important decisions. These choices have to embrace a meritocracy; where the most capable and most skilled pilots are chosen, irrespective of their immutable characteristics e.g. sex, race, religion, ... South Africa could have succeeded if voting remaining along racial lines, and separate leadership was chosen independently to represent each race group; a select leadership that would then have equal rights irrespective of population, and they would then pick a leader for the country, province, towns, etc. and then those chosen leaders would then pick their administration, etc.
It was very interesting everything you spoke about, because it was very informative. I would like to hear from you the other side of the story about the oppression that was inflicted on those the Africano met in that land, in the context of existence itself. I appreciate your power of analysis, please educate me on the whole situation without any string attached. Thanks !

So, what Mr Roets are saying, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that the ANC has up to now, not been the governing body of this country, but are in the process to reach the democratic revolution as to be the ones in power in SA. So, my question is just then, so who is the current leader of SA if not the ANC?
The world's ruling elite who runs countries by proxy is running your country. If you find that hard to believe, just look at what's happening in Niger etc. It's been like that for ages. There is a world war brewing because of that, between the east and west.
Why are you pessimistic about the future? We are the Rainbow Nation! We have learned how to live with each other like no other county in the world. It makes us strong! Forget about the hippocrates and their lies. Listen to you hearths and be good to each other.
Thanks for this Ernst. It would be very interesting to ask black South Africans of all economic classes and ages if they actually understand what communism entails. I'm betting that very few understand what hardships communism in SA would mean for them
@vamangcobo7344 because your living under a socialist government who has denied you decent education, jobs, Healthcare partly because the government is stealing all the money for themselves. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I think I speak for many when I say we don't care who sits in government providing the country runs effectively with equal rights, without this rampant corruption, crime and blaming whites for everything that's wrong under a democratic and fair rule of capitalism to ensure there are jobs, and manufacturing and foreign investment. Who destroyed SAA, PRASA, the infrastructure, mining, the manufacturing sector ??? .. look to the present day government, all the answers lie there.

God is especially concerned about the Afrikaners. To get more information, read about the 1st Boer prophet Siener van Rensburg's predictions and fact that ALL his predictions came to pass, and some must still. Also listen to the Voice of God, via the 2nd Boer prophet, alive today: Nathan Humbyrd. It just so happens that both these prophets, connected to the Afrikaners / Boers, are the only two modern prophets to have ALL of their predictions come to pass. God is very, very concerned for the Boere (Afrikaners).
This was an illuminating and fascinating topic. Because what is happening in SA is a foreshadowing of what is happening in the U.S. . I remember reading that Marx had a global vision for his ideology, that he realized violence and death would be needed to implement his one thought collective ideology and that each country would have slightly different approaches to the victim/oppressor model. For example, SA has thousands of years of different cultures layered on top of each other. A history of clans, tribes, ethnicities, religions, governments, races. They are all still present in SA culture. That alone must make corruption rampant and impossible to stamp out. The U.S. doesn’t have those problems. The U.S. started with a constitutional republic, Christianity, and most importantly capitalism. But Marxism crept in here too. Maybe after Stalin. Do you think the UN’s Global Equity and Climate Change Agenda 2024, will help a country were the money is pocketed by the government. I have been listening closely to this years agenda and leaders in Africa, who expect the Global North to build an infrastructure of green technology in every developing country. If a country can’t keep the lights on now…(because of layers of corruption)… why would it work for the next generation of technology. Wouldn’t China have to build it? The WSJ, Nov. 30(A7) has an estimate for ‘rich’countries(that is code for US taxpayers), the IMF estimates 2trillion A YEAR for ‘poor’ countries. That is certainly a Marxian global redistribution of wealth. I think the UN is a Marxist institution, and if Trump by some miracle gets elected, I hope he WITHDRAWS from the UN. I look forward to more of your videos on SA.
What i wonder is what percentage of the population is involved in crime and /or corruption? Because i want to believe that the majority of South Africans of any race are good people and are against any type of violence, crime or corruption as it impacts on all of their lives. I believe there is the talent, the skills and the Will to do Something to turn things around. It won't be easy but it's beginning to look like either do nothing and let the country disintegrate further with No hope for the future of the younger generations or time to decide how to work together to save the country and it's people. You will be surprised the amount of support there will be. Because too many people are suffering.
Ja nee! This talk would have been better served in Afrikaans to an Afrikaans audience. He takes thirty minutes to tell us that birds of a feather flock together. All communities do that. The problem is no law and order under our fantastic constitution.
The reason why Homelands which boundaries were established from a historical understanding of circumstance was pragmatic. No individual not recognised/accpted as a member of one of the tribes could settle in a homeland, afaik. I am unaware of any constraints over the governance of the homelands. The idea, separate but equal, appears to strive toward the upliftment of others. Unfortunately, not everyone accepts the opportunities presented, but some do and did thrive under the system. The strength of the South African economy was the crutch upon which others could potentially thrive and participate. At least I think this was the perhaps somewhat naive thinking behind the policy. Could this policy, which is perceived to be unique to South Africa, be a solution to the travails of the failed liberal democratic ideologies, or its ideas being part of a solution? Dare we venture towards a National Socialist dispensation?
Liberal Democracy may work, when the people voluntary submit to reasonable moral rules. Otherwise you are going to need some form of authoritarian government. National Socialism was actually far more liberal than most people think, despite essentially being rule by decree and rule by local functionaries as well as civic groups. Good understanding on the original documents and texts does however help.

One aspect of foreign commentary on South Africas challenges that I find very disturbing is the promotion of racial conflict, particularly by the African diaspora and extremist right wing movements in the western world.
@@fullmetaltheorist in South Africa, in particular there is more of tendency to the left socialist, pushing the same agendas that lead to Zimbabwe's demise. The EFF is the only extremist party in South Africa and even the ANC has two divisions and one of them can be seen as aligned with the EFF's vision.
I honestly think it will take a few generations for all the hatred to go. After that time you will all be able to work together and move the country forward.
It's not possible to live as a minority group in a failed state, because you are surrounded by a hostile environment. I hope other governments will acknowledge your work and your cause. Otherwise you should ask for citizenship in the Netherlands and France. Or at least political refugee status.
Unfortunately south africa is a registered country for peace at the UN, and we take refugees in. The law restricts us from claiming refugee status in other countries. They were very clever to do this and stop us from trying to get out of their incubator.
I understand your concern however think you need to realise that minority in the context of SA is very different to minority in the context of other countries. The minority in SA are not in danger nor are they voiceless. The notion that respected people such as Mr Roets need to apply for political refuge is really unnecessary. The minority in SA actually hold considerable power because they also own the means of production and they drive our economy. So their voice matters and we do actually rely on them to also speak out about the problems the country is facing currently because their voice holds power.
This overview of South Africa's problems was very enlightening for me, but for the fact that closet marxists seem to be a global phenomenon now. One minor correction, at the beginning of your presentation you said that South Africa first came into the limelight at the end of the 20th century, I think you meant the end of the 19th century. A minor error in an extremely well thought out presentation.
It was worth my time listening to your views and as an African from the township I have my issues with the ANC and corruption angers me to the core for it ripps off especially those who has no understand of it's dire consequences but are rather a blind loyal electorate.
Thanks for the show
That Is Why We Should Vote For Patriotic Alliance Who Will Fight For South Africans To Own Their Minerals
@@millanbruce3798The PA reminds me of the EFF. That’s not a compliment
@860924kpbyue Then you clearly blind and looking at all the parties the same because the PA is nothing like the racist EFF nothing like the sellout DA and nothing like the corrupt ANC or The RACIST Freedom Front Plus
@@millanbruce3798 ALL political parties are the same globally (especially in South Africa) with no exception! the partisan system is a problem globally, remember that South Africa belongs to the global community which is mainly controlled by a select few. No matter which party comes into power, it will always be the same until the global system changes. Liberating the people will only happen if or when the true powers that be decides they want it to happen. PA, ANC, DA, etc none of them have what it takes to tackle the global powers.

It certainly is not a compliment to the Patriotic Alliance and one wonders what features are shared by the PA and the EFF.
The butchering of SARS and the removal of Scorpion was the turning point that should have told us where we are heading. It was a sign that ANC wanted to do what ever they want without accountability

Howzit my bra! ❤
Most of my Afrikaner friends have their own businesses, and I think we are just resilient in that way. Must say my favourite clients are black people, they are funny and so optimistic. I think the media & politics puts out a very untruthful picture of how the normal day to day citizen gets along with each other. I would like to see more positive news on the media, but that does not sell I suppose. Hope we can turn this country around, I'm very optimistic about that.
Bless you lady 💯
Good day,
You are so right on your comment.
The question to ask is you deal with so many blacks on a daily basis yet why haven't they killed you? remember you are a boer.
2nd question to ask is why do white people deliberately refuse our explanation? Remember it's our song..
Malema spoke about peace all over the world on that speech and yet the only thing that whites heard was murder.
Those murders are crime and are not unique to farmers. Affriforum took that opportunity to mobilize white people and incite fear on them based on the reality that murders do take place on farms.
Trust me black people have no interest in killing you not even Malema, He lives in a white suburbs, wear white clothes, eat white food, uses the whites phone....it goes on and on... if he kills you he will lose all those.
Malema once made a statement that white people are like trees.... and we know we can't leave without them.
Just because he fights white privilege & racism and threatens to take farms Affriforum placed "swart gevaat" in whites mind...yet they are your clients.. I know it doesn't sound fair to lose the farm you bought.. that's another topic...but Affriforum connected the dots to use this even though it's far from the truth.
The problem is that whites don't often commit such crimes in south africa... they are mainly done by black and being black myself I do acknowledge that.. but that doesn't mean whites are not capable.. Krugersdorp is proof and it was initially believed they were black..
No black person came out and said we will kill boere because malema said so...as a matter of fact all blacks even some whites come out and defended the song...yes it may be offensive to a different audience...why don't you believe us when we sayy we won't kill you it's just a song.
Lastly go do research on mapungubwe it's also on youtube...you'll see you have been lied to about black south african history.. Oragne is doing the same thing..."Mandela don't exist in their history and that is what they teach their children..
Don't always believe what your own teach you... I know when you oppose them they excommunicated you and call you all sorts of names like "Kaff*R Boetie... they tried that with Charles Theron and she said what she said about Afrikaans because the was deliberately forced to joing Affriforum and that aggravated her.. look at the DSTV Challenge Afrikaners are always forces to join even if they know it wrong... DSTV is owned by whites.
They don't understand much. Heavily indoctrinated
@janineswart9313 dream on....
As a black SAn I can tell you that we respect white people very much. Our politicians are the most corrupt fuckers who just try to divide us by reminding us of the horrible past and they are very successful at that
A sobering review of the crisis in South Africa. Thank you.
I live in a street where the majority of the residents are black people, and we came along very well, if there is a problem, everyone comes together and sorts things out.
It is only the politicians with a microphone down they through that make people angry.
Totally agree

The problem is that those black neighbours keep voting for the politicians.
Reading Denys Reitz account of his time in the Boer War at age 17, reminds me that there was no “South Africa” before the 20th century. My grandfather JB Taylor founded the “National Bank” .. the “nation”was the Transvaal Republic. We need to listen to this man and get involved. Dankie Mnr Roets.🌹
Was your grandfather James Benjamin Taylor?
@@stlouisix3 Indeed he was. Sadly he died just months before my parents were able to come back after the war. I discovered his story years later while in the Eastern Transvaal.

Thankyou for that hope Ernst - although many of us are no longer there the love for SA is very strong - alles sal reg Kim!

Great insights. The more complicated a government makes tax, education, government soe's, medicals, infrastructure ect the bigger one hide fraught and corruption.
Thank you Ernst. I really enjoyed the overview. It was plain and simple. Only problem, it was too short. I could have listened for another hour. You have so much wisdom and experience. Blessings to you for all you do🙏
You are too kind. Thank you. I'll make a follow-up about the solution.
Hi Ernst. All the people in Beautiful South Africa just want a kind, considerate, foregiving and altruistic Government where people feel safe and comfortable in their day to day lives. Most people want secure employment and a secure place to live and something to look forward to in their lives, whether that is a good education, or just a happy time with friends on the weekends. 🌹
“Most people” ,yes. Unfortunately crime is a problem, so those few people need strict policing, which doesnt happen, so crime is a major problem. Second big problem is poor service delivery which is unnecessary, but difficult to turn around, but no one have tried yet. Third is the corruption from good people?
We cant live in a dreamworld.
Yes, and they just want to be left alone to get on with it!
Congrats, Ernst, for your tireless Public Service! Your long-lasting activism really makes a huge positive difference! Baie dankie!...
I honestly think that BBEE was the beginning of the grab. Politicians ( aka Poser), was given first dibs, and then tenderpreneurs came along and politicians demanded a slice of that pie, and the demand for pie slices just got bigger and bigger...
You can see this happening in the US, Australia and so on where minority community are running things to the detriment off the communities. In the
US, liberal cities run by black mayors have become dens of criminality...No consequences for crime.
A good honest rundown of true history of South Africa.
A balanced, educated, well documented and most inciteful talk. You have knowledge and a way of looking in a broad perspective of how politics ie. the people in power have the ability to maneuver situations to suit themselves. Please TALK louder and more often to make our people and all institution aware !!!! We must talk and oppose injustices. South Africa is suffering from "Reverse Racism" promulgated by the government and by the eff. Keep talking , Ernst Rood , we need you.
I lived in Mozambique for 17 years and close to SA and SAfricans. We use to dive in Bazaruto, Moz, a lot of friends from SA, Rhodesia's and Portuguese in Santa Carolina, until 1977.

As a black South African i think it is important to start rebuilding by VOTING ANC OUT OF POWER AND NOT ALLOW EFF TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE ALREADY DESTROYED SOUTH AFRICA
Very interesting video. The ANC seems to be profoundly rotten to the core. The corruption, and incompetence has made a huge mess. Some ministers are incapable of even looking coherent in interviews and they defend policies that make no sense at all if the priority was anything other than protecting endemic corruption. It's sad to see what has become of South Africa. This is a timely warning to other countries, including New Zealand, where out current governments actions has some real similarities with the ANC.
So there is a party you trust can solve the issues?
Definitely in Australia too.

Nevermind, the true history as we are well aware, will never be forgotten, because that is the absolute TRUTH. There never was and never will be a rainbow nation. That was just a figment of mandela's wild imagination.

Outsourcing I think is the reason for the failure. What is our options? Is it just but to vote for the lesser evil?? Witch party would be "The Lesser Evil" ?.🤷
@@lelanieilerd0030 which party would Jesus vote for 🤔
As a black parent I can tell you that even our history is not told properly. My children often come home and question what the teacher or textbook says . They are able to do that because as a parent I decided to be in charge of what they learn politically . I want my kids to know the truth so my kids also know about political figures such as Delarey and other political factors which shaped where we are today. It may be controversial to some but I feel its important for children to learn about all political figures and understand why they are lauded as heroes by their communities even if media or society doesn't recognise them. So with that I say visit both black and white monuments , museums etc.
Well packaged. And so true.

MAYBE - because it seem your are a little shy in the department of intelligence -

South Af'a is a complex country because of its size and it really rare and remarkable number of very different, distinct ethnic groups.
One very important item not mentioned, although obliquely, is the role of excellent education amongst Afrikaners. Attaining an excellent education was of the highest priority amongst many Afrikaner families. It is essentially education that divides South Africans - not politics. As when any person is well educated, they have the cognitive filters to see through the paranoia and falsehoods promoted/stoked by - let's get down to brass tacts - intellectually lazy politicians. Therefore having excellent educational institutions that are blind to political influence, is vital towards building a citizenary that have an independent personal identity outside of state influence and state dogma. Education frees the mind from becoming captive/enslaved to propaganda and state control. Education is the foundation stone of individualism of mind and purpose. Many African families see the value in a good education and are therefore far less influenced by state and party politics; and in this lies the future of South Africa.
Its too late. After 30 years we should see the fruits of education. The chance was there 30 years ago, but now the country is to weak to turn the education wheel. Maybe 5-10 years the country completely collaps in its former structure.
Most Afrikaans parents invest a lot of energy and time plus discipline re their children. This is a lesson others could learn from. Yes its hard with parents struggling to find the basics.
Vote wisely for those who have a proven track record. You dont have to be best friends but working together will achieve much more.
Unfortunately, the education quality has been dropped and education has very little funding (the budget is huge but the actual spending is minimal) so South Africa is unable to produce enough well educated people to create an educated majority.
I think the biggest mistake we made is having MPs be from party selection. Every area of South Africa should have an MP. I agree South Africa has gone through a lot of the social challenges that other countries will still face. A functional multi cultural society is one where we acknowledge our differences and work together using each other's strengths. We aren't there yet but there's already some examples where goodwill + good governance is enough to send a community in the right direction. The next 5 or 10 years are probably going to be tough but there might be great things on the other side if we can hold on.
we the other countries have already faced this , SA is late to the game , we are still in living memory of the racist crap that SA was and so are those in SA , now you have to find a new way , good luck
"A functional multicultural society is one where we acknowledge our differences and work together using each other's strengths" No thanks! it is not working it is more of a problem than a solution. Orania is working perfectly there is no racism, no unemployment, no corruption etc why do you want to go back to a system that is not working?
South Africans are not interested in multiculturism because it is not that important it is out of fashion, so forget it and start managing this country.
the only solution is consociationalism and pillarisation. When communities admit their differences and create their own institutions
A functional multi cultural society I can't see. Look at Northern Ireland, Belgium, and many other countries where whites can't live side by side because of religion or culture. Not ever going to happen here. Orania is the only way out. Cultures need to group together.
@stevensmith797 who the f are you? What do you know about SA?
Very insightful especially your comment about hope. I would like to add my 2 cents. I believe what creates hope is faith. Of course, as a Christian, that faith is based on the Bible and God's word. What many seem to fail to notice is that as atheism increases in especially the western world now, the more "wrong" things seem to go. This is not new, if you look at the Bible and historical/archeological evidence you will realize (especially in the old testament and ancient history), that the theme seems to be consistent with a lack of belief, a greater focus on self-pleasure and self-importance; and the eventual misery that this causes which of course results in some self-reflection and an increase in faith until things become good again and the cycle repeats. It is interesting to see this happening in the modern age and with the internet in almost real-time.
Those who are still supporting the Springboks should realize that, by doing so they in effect support the racist quota system and therefore also the principle behind BBBEE, EE, EXC and the allocation of water rights based on race. So, when they come to take your house, your pension fund, your business, savings, private school, private hospitals, medical aid fund etc. you should be jubilant because your support was an integral part of making this happen...
The ANC is already using the success of the Springboks (and the lie of the "rainbow nation") and specifically the success of the quota system as the reason for the full implementation of all the other racist laws...
The blacks have much stronger principles than the whites, NONE of them supported the Springboks during apartheid...
I agree 100% People of all races and faiths should be asking themselves: 'What lies beneath the public façade and how do my actions contradict or support my stated beliefs and my sense of morality?' In the final analysis it is what the individual does that defines the individual. Talk is cheap, and keyboard warriors are a dime a dozen.

This was such a brilliant break down. I am so sad that I am currently looking for ways to get out of South Africa because I love my country and I know how wonderful it can be here. Unfortunately, I wake up daily to news of murder, hijackings, robberies and assault and I can't sit around and wait until my family and I become a statistic. Law enforcement is a joke, service industry doesn't understand customer service and today I read that 2500 of our prisoners were set free to make space. It's not a way to live. It isn't fair.

The ANC is simply bad fruit that fell from a tree that bears bad fruit. Can we identify the tree?
As a black South African in my early 40s I have experienced both “Apartheid- black oppressed rule” and now “The democratic rule which is not properly run” I fully agree the governing party ANC has taken advantage of this to enrich themselves through corruption that has gotten out of control while the poor still suffers almost the same as during the apartheid times, the majority of South African ( Blacks & Whites) condemns this and are trying hard to deal with this that’s why the ANC support is steeply declining at the polls. On the other hand there’s also the reality of the effects of Apartheid towards the population it is big it cannot be down played as Roets is doing - black peoples still lives in horrible conditions because of Apartheid and yes also because of the Current corrupt government. To the rest of the world listening to this, it would also help to also listen to the other side as well so you can get the clear picture of what’s happening in the country. I fully agree as a country we are not in good state now, things are not well at all, but it’s because of both the current government and the previous Apartheid system combined, not just one. Thus these two has to be dealt with. Unfortunately he will only speak for his people, hence I suggest you get the other side as well to have a better understanding, and make a proper conclusion.
Absolutely! No point not speaking about the ill's of apartheid. It has to also be mentioned, also what happened before apartheid with colonialism. Horrible acts where commited by whites to the other races in South Africa. But yeah, first things first is we need to all become independant from the state and build our communities and have its own systems like whats happening in Orania and a few other "black" & "white" townships around the country which is the point of this video but yes! absolutely history cannot and should not be ignored, we must never forget about the suffering in this country

Enjoyed your talk from South Africa - watching from Canada. I have just watched a video on you tube which I suggest you watch it is called "Chasing Freedom". They visit Johannesburg and Cape Town which they think are world class cities. They are Afro Americans and had nothing but praise for your country and cities. Canadians and maybe the rest of the world know very little about SA and are not very interested in your problems so you have to paddle your own canoe. They in fact think Afrikaans is a black tribal language. Extreme liberalism in Canada and the USA is causing extreme political problems here so you are not the only ones with problems. The Biden family has taken 50 million in bribes - has allowed uncontrolled cross border immigration of 6 million people into the country so changing the very make up of the States. So lets say that each country has its own problems.
I think as a non academic that what you need is a change of government in SA - a government that appreciates the virtues of capitalism and gets away from Globalism.
I think it is treasonable allowing everything in from the far east and not making everything you need yourselves. Do you need that screw from China when half your population is unemployed?

One of the greatest tragedies in South Africa is the lack of appreciation and understanding of the Gospel message by those who are conversant with scripture.
Spiritual legalism has taken the place of the glory and liberty offered only through the Gospel!
The focus is around, not only the 10 commandments, but also the Torah, with the Message entrusted to the apostle Paul taking a back seat!

Thanks very much Sir Roets for the history. Sir, South Africans just need a better life for all that was promised in 1994. We still talking inequality for citizens in South Africa, unemployment by the majority who suffered the most in the past, no decent houses but shacks for the majority. If I may ask, Were the decisions taken in 1994 supposed not to benefit every citizen but some? So, Sir, if everything was done right in 1994 I don't think we would be where we are today.

He considered voting something that only the wise should be permitted to do.... i.e. assuming that everyone would make rational choices and therefore pick the most capable leadership has always been a fallacy.
Popularity contests never result in a choice of the most capable, most moral, etc.
Just as we would never democratically vote for pilots for obvious reasons..,. popularity and emotions should never factor into such important decisions. These choices have to embrace a meritocracy; where the most capable and most skilled pilots are chosen, irrespective of their immutable characteristics e.g. sex, race, religion, ...
South Africa could have succeeded if voting remaining along racial lines, and separate leadership was chosen independently to represent each race group; a select leadership that would then have equal rights irrespective of population, and they would then pick a leader for the country, province, towns, etc. and then those chosen leaders would then pick their administration, etc.
What about the frog's in the pot ?????
Dankie Ernst, welgedaan,!
It was very interesting everything you spoke about, because it was very informative. I would like to hear from you the other side of the story about the oppression that was inflicted on those the Africano met in that land, in the context of existence itself. I appreciate your power of analysis, please educate me on the whole situation without any string attached. Thanks !
Why can't the public vote for an organisation that can benefit the country as a whole? How can a incompetent party keep the reigns for so long?
He won't as always
Well explained!!
As daar n Swaziland 🇸🇿 kan wees en n Lesotho 🇱🇸 dan kan daar ook n plek wees vir ons as afrikaaners.
En wat van ons Boere?

Ja, Suid Afrika!
Dankie Ernst ❤
Very good analysis
I am a afrikaner. My ancestors ducked up by not giving blacks a fair chance to get a good education.
Haha hulle het geleenthede gekry, en kyk nou hoe ernstig vat hulle opleiding en onderwys noudat hulle die sirkus bestuur.
So, what Mr Roets are saying, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that the ANC has up to now, not been the governing body of this country, but are in the process to reach the democratic revolution as to be the ones in power in SA. So, my question is just then, so who is the current leader of SA if not the ANC?
The world's ruling elite who runs countries by proxy is running your country. If you find that hard to believe, just look at what's happening in Niger etc. It's been like that for ages. There is a world war brewing because of that, between the east and west.
Why are you pessimistic about the future? We are the Rainbow Nation! We have learned how to live with each other like no other county in the world. It makes us strong! Forget about the hippocrates and their lies. Listen to you hearths and be good to each other.
I wish more people had your positive, peaceful, mindset. Alas, we have too few.
The Springbok rugby team is a good example of what we can do together.
Thank you.Thank you. Thank you.
"The crisis in SA"? So there is only one crisis?
There are many, many crises in South Africa. Every bloody thing is a crisis.
One man one vote once. After that draconian rules,
Thanks for this Ernst.
It would be very interesting to ask black South Africans of all economic classes and ages if they actually understand what communism entails. I'm betting that very few understand what hardships communism in SA would mean for them
But we in a capitalist state and we still suffering.
@vamangcobo7344 because your living under a socialist government who has denied you decent education, jobs, Healthcare partly because the government is stealing all the money for themselves. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I think I speak for many when I say we don't care who sits in government providing the country runs effectively with equal rights, without this rampant corruption, crime and blaming whites for everything that's wrong under a democratic and fair rule of capitalism to ensure there are jobs, and manufacturing and foreign investment.
Who destroyed SAA, PRASA, the infrastructure, mining, the manufacturing sector ???
.. look to the present day government, all the answers lie there. Whites are not your enemies... the current government is everyone's enemy, no matter who you are.
We know very well what it entails..we also know very well how evil the Capitalistic system can be
@@bluecouchpodcast24 depends on which evil you vote for...
@@vamangcobo7344You are suffering because the anc and their cadres took all the money. They couldnt care less about your sufferings. You voted for them and thats what you got. SUFFERING
Well done.
Well said.
What crisis? I stay in Soweto please inform us.
Go find it out yourself
You are so used to live in a failed state with the worst economy that you don't even realize it. It has an impact on every South-African citizen, including you. For some reason it doesn't bother you at all, clearly you don't know any better.
😂😂😂😂 SARS is the governments only success story 😢😢😢
lmfao
Ek kan nie die lewe nou verstaan nie alles is vir my net verkeerd dit voel vir my God het ons vergreet ek weet nie of ons vir God vergreet het nie ek is te dom om te verstaan God moet help ADB .❤
Kom ek help jou verstaan: Ons het 'n vals gelofte afgelê net voor die Slag van Bloedrivier. Ons het dit nie nagekom nie.. Punt. Nou het Die Here ons aan ons vyand oorgelaat. Net dit.
God is especially concerned about the Afrikaners. To get more information, read about the 1st Boer prophet Siener van Rensburg's predictions and fact that ALL his predictions came to pass, and some must still. Also listen to the Voice of God, via the 2nd Boer prophet, alive today: Nathan Humbyrd. It just so happens that both these prophets, connected to the Afrikaners / Boers, are the only two modern prophets to have ALL of their predictions come to pass. God is very, very concerned for the Boere (Afrikaners).
Two words for the Criminal Syndicate: Foxtrot, Uniform.
Agreed!
2024 is our 1994. The time to re write the failures of the governing party and forced reconciliation with people that never said sorry is now
This was an illuminating and fascinating topic. Because what is happening in SA is a foreshadowing of what is happening in the U.S. . I remember reading that Marx had a global vision for his ideology, that he realized violence and death would be needed to implement his one thought collective ideology and that each country would have slightly different approaches to the victim/oppressor model. For example, SA has thousands of years of different cultures layered on top of each other. A history of clans, tribes, ethnicities, religions, governments, races. They are all still present in SA culture. That alone must make corruption rampant and impossible to stamp out. The U.S. doesn’t have those problems. The U.S. started with a constitutional republic, Christianity, and most importantly capitalism. But Marxism crept in here too. Maybe after Stalin. Do you think the UN’s Global Equity and Climate Change Agenda 2024, will help a country were the money is pocketed by the government. I have been listening closely to this years agenda and leaders in Africa, who expect the Global North to build an infrastructure of green technology in every developing country. If a country can’t keep the lights on now…(because of layers of corruption)… why would it work for the next generation of technology. Wouldn’t China have to build it? The WSJ, Nov. 30(A7) has an estimate for ‘rich’countries(that is code for US taxpayers), the IMF estimates 2trillion A YEAR for ‘poor’ countries. That is certainly a Marxian global redistribution of wealth. I think the UN is a Marxist institution, and if Trump by some miracle gets elected, I hope he WITHDRAWS from the UN. I look forward to more of your videos on SA.
Very good, but what are we hoing to do?
What i wonder is what percentage of the population is involved in crime and /or corruption? Because i want to believe that the majority of South Africans of any race are good people and are against any type of violence, crime or corruption as it impacts on all of their lives. I believe there is the talent, the skills and the Will to do Something to turn things around. It won't be easy but it's beginning to look like either do nothing and let the country disintegrate further with No hope for the future of the younger generations or time to decide how to work together to save the country and it's people. You will be surprised the amount of support there will be. Because too many people are suffering.
Outstanding.
Very true, I shared
Ja nee! This talk would have been better served in Afrikaans to an Afrikaans audience. He takes thirty minutes to tell us that birds of a feather flock together. All communities do that. The problem is no law and order under our fantastic constitution.
The reason why Homelands which boundaries were established from a historical understanding of circumstance was pragmatic. No individual not recognised/accpted as a member of one of the tribes could settle in a homeland, afaik. I am unaware of any constraints over the governance of the homelands. The idea, separate but equal, appears to strive toward the upliftment of others. Unfortunately, not everyone accepts the opportunities presented, but some do and did thrive under the system.
The strength of the South African economy was the crutch upon which others could potentially thrive and participate. At least I think this was the perhaps somewhat naive thinking behind the policy. Could this policy, which is perceived to be unique to South Africa, be a solution to the travails of the failed liberal democratic ideologies, or its ideas being part of a solution? Dare we venture towards a National Socialist dispensation?
Liberal Democracy may work, when the people voluntary submit to reasonable moral rules. Otherwise you are going to need some form of authoritarian government. National Socialism was actually far more liberal than most people think, despite essentially being rule by decree and rule by local functionaries as well as civic groups. Good understanding on the original documents and texts does however help.
Could you provide evidence to these claims you are making.
Thanks for the video
Fyi it was interesting to hear your views on the UK's Spectator Podcast
While South Africa is deteriorating, the Afrikaner is progressing..
There's a lot to pull out, from this statement
Definitely need lot more time, this is such a broad sweep,...the history of SA post 1994, the Constitution as framed, the NDR and two dimensions of the ANC...philisophy on Identity as Afrikaners within the broader framework of the Constitution and individual identity...truth about prospect of a race civil.war... Where to.start and where to end
I'm from Uruguay, in 2002 my country was a poor country near to the bankruptucy. Nowadays, Uruguay's gdp per capita is a bit lower to Portugal, which it's a western country. Our country can perfectly offer works and citizen safety
Ernist, im very supprised you never commented on the closing of the school.. that is a huge move by a politisised gov department who through the hate would close an entire school for the sake of 4 difficult people.. they want control, and not even children will temper the situation
One aspect of foreign commentary on South Africas challenges that I find very disturbing is the promotion of racial conflict, particularly by the African diaspora and extremist right wing movements in the western world.
Are you referring to the EFF, they are extreme left wing. There is no right winger here.
@@bwarrior6340 No, the right wing folk are foreign and typically westerners.
@@bwarrior6340Extremists on all ends. We should be finding a middle ground.
@@fullmetaltheorist in South Africa, in particular there is more of tendency to the left socialist, pushing the same agendas that lead to Zimbabwe's demise. The EFF is the only extremist party in South Africa and even the ANC has two divisions and one of them can be seen as aligned with the EFF's vision.
@@fullmetaltheorist thank you . i don't understand why people assume some extremist are important. Extremist must not be tolerated
I honestly think it will take a few generations for all the hatred to go. After that time you will all be able to work together and move the country forward.
It's not possible to live as a minority group in a failed state, because you are surrounded by a hostile environment. I hope other governments will acknowledge your work and your cause. Otherwise you should ask for citizenship in the Netherlands and France. Or at least political refugee status.
Unfortunately south africa is a registered country for peace at the UN, and we take refugees in. The law restricts us from claiming refugee status in other countries. They were very clever to do this and stop us from trying to get out of their incubator.
I understand your concern however think you need to realise that minority in the context of SA is very different to minority in the context of other countries. The minority in SA are not in danger nor are they voiceless. The notion that respected people such as Mr Roets need to apply for political refuge is really unnecessary. The minority in SA actually hold considerable power because they also own the means of production and they drive our economy. So their voice matters and we do actually rely on them to also speak out about the problems the country is facing currently because their voice holds power.
@@dinaledi4085speak for your self.
The minority of the minority holds the power.
This overview of South Africa's problems was very enlightening for me, but for the fact that closet marxists seem to be a global phenomenon now. One minor correction, at the beginning of your presentation you said that South Africa first came into the limelight at the end of the 20th century, I think you meant the end of the 19th century. A minor error in an extremely well thought out presentation.
