Being from South Africa, I remember finding it strange when I first found out that having gates around your house wasn't a normal thing in some other countries, because it's such a normalcy here.
My grandmother explained that before the colonial era they actually had two boundaries, the outer boundary with a gate (defers) called legora and an inner boundary called lapa. It seems people traditionally always have had something against people having access to their homes.
Not having a gate/fence is literally like asking someone to come and rob your house 🏠. I don’t think there is a single house in urban areas and townships that don’t have a gate
I always say that if there were to be a zombie apocalypse then South Africans would be the most safe since we all have fences with spikes or barbed wire and our windows are barred. And all of our schools have fences too so yeah, come here when the apocalypse happens folkes.
Bakkie comments were hilarious. We do have metered taxi's at night and Uber services if you wanna take one by yourself , they are also available during the day.
Cape Town has an actual long established bus service called Golden Arrow ( formerly Tramways ). They even operate the City municipality's bus service. That's beside the regular Uber, inDriver and so on.
ya same in johannesburg we have Metro bus and they're really good also Putco, gauteng coaches and gautrain busses. We also have high speed rail(Gautrain.)
The wall around our houses is called “Stop Nonsense” 😅. Those taxis are actually called Mini-bus taxis, there are cabs in cities including Uber and Bolt these days. Then buses we have Metrobus, Putco, ReaVaya etc. Greyhound is no more
South Africans are a different breed of human all together. Species for that matter... Chantelle shoulda shown them the Cape Town gatsby. They woulda salivated themselves
That's really interesting. In Puerto Rico they have "guaguas" (pronounced 'WA-was') that are very similar to your bus/taxis. My grandfather was a guagua driver. And in Nicaragua they have "rosquillas" (pronounced 'ros-KEE-yas') which are made out of cornmeal and we dip them in our coffee. 😀
Perfect selection👌 I loved the reactions of John and Sam. Especially for the gates. Some parts of Sowero have gorgeous fences around the homes there. They sculpt images into the walls with bricks.
Inner city and the surroundings we have metro busses in South Africa and the BRTs and for long distance we have luxury coaches like Greyhound,Translux, intercity, city to city and many more
@@jigglypuff6852 bunny chow was created when the indentured indian labour's first came to south africa. They didn't have any bowls or plates so a loaf of bread was hollowed out and curry was filled in it. It's call bunny chow cos the bread was milk white and fluffy, and when the top part was put back it resembled a bunny's tail
Me watching this video while enjoying my coffee and rusks 😁🇿🇦 Gates, fences and walls are common place for security and privacy, especially in Gauteng. In Cape Town and the Cape it's not as prevalent to have fences/walls around your property
You're wrong there. Lately there is fast bus lanes in Pretoria city. Ariyeng busses. It's a grand lot of busses! Amazing as it sounds for SA, they have their own lane and sheltered bus stops! Quite fancy actually. There are routs that stop at the Gautrain that travels it's routs to Oliver Tambo Intermational and JHB. Some school kids catch these busses from Centurion to Pretoria.
Lol the taxis we have those in Australia - they’re called maxi taxis. But it’s just a normal taxi service, some are customised for wheelchair clients and there’s an electric ramp/lift mechanism at the back to load and unload wheelchair passengers. But they’re great for group outings you all jump in a maxi taxi.
I still remember the older Minibusses...and every guy from the Cape flats was driving a Cadet or Tazz when I was a kid. I do also remember the phasing out of the "butter wagons" (light yellow police vehicles).
There are alot of inner city buses.. in jozi alone you have metro bus , re ya vaya, gautrain bus, putco... and as for taxis if you want a taxi for yourself you can catch a maxi taxi or uber or taxyfy .. pay attention wena mann
@@rudianDC I have to come to the defence of Chantelle. She is the best ambassador for South Africa that there could be. To say she is living in the 90s is nothing but something a troll like you would say and is extremely rude. Things change rapidly everywhere and she probably only gets to go home every two years or so. If you can't say something nice then keep your mouth shut.
We have inner city buses in Cape Town, with its own road that's red called the myciti and we also have golden Arrow in Cape Town, along with taxis, meter taxis, Uber, Didi, bolt and indrive.
I've heard that the bunny chow is probably named after the bania Indians (I hope I spelled it right) who used to take such a meal to work for lunch. That was back in the old days.
the full name is actually a minibus Taxi, 99% of them are Toyotas (either the older Hi-Ace or the newer Quantum). While we don't have intercity busses, In Johannesburg we do have the Gautrain Bus Service. The Gautrain is a commuter rail system in the Gauteng Province, it's considerably safer and more efficient and convenient to use than the existing public rail system. the Gautrain connects Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekuruleni and OR Tambo Airport (also known as Johannesburg International Airport). Busses transport people to-and-fro the Gautrain stations to existing bus-stops all over Johannesburg and Pretoria.
We actually do have busses, There is the golden arrow and MyCiti busses which operates within every city and have designated routes. You can also use a cab if you want to ride alone. Otherwise some people will make use of e-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt. Taxis(mini buses) work like a bus except that they disregard all traffic laws and they can stop anywhere to pick up or drop off customers whereas Buses have designated Stops. Caps and e-hailing will pick you up from your location and take you until your destination.
There are many buses in Durban 🤭 there are CityLiners which travel around the main part of town and the shore. But there are also municipal and general buses which travel all around. The long distance ones like mentioned.
Yeah every house in the suburb I live in and the ones around have high walls and electric gates. My dad added electric fencing (the electric shock kind) on top of the walls a few years ago because we were the only house on the street without it and we were worried ours would look like an easier property to break into compared to others on the street lol
We have rusks in the Philippines but we call it locally "mebiasa/mebyasa" (Spanish-borrowed word) in our region or toasted simple as that and pair it with coffee.
I once passed one of those old, small 1L Nissan bakkies near Gardens in Cape Town and it was completely flat against the road, tires splayed out. Its suspension had broken from the massive heap of building rubble heaped in the back. Lol
Oh, John....Chantelle's rusks are like our biscotti :-). This was a fun video. When we were living in Montana it was normal to see a whole house going down the highway; not a manufactured house but a stick built home that was taken off its foundation to move to another place; your bakkie reminded me of that, Chantelle . They did that with a home we rented for a while after we had moved out. In places where we have lived it's almost unheard of to have electric gates around the houses; in Montana and where we are in Colorado most of the houses don't have any type of fence at all.
We have metered taxis (same as American taxis), Bolt and Uber if you want to travel alone or at night. Mini bus taxis (Toyota Quantum) are more common with black people as they were the transport between townships and town during apartheid, so we just got used to them.
similarly in Turkmenistan when we go somewhere, we have to wait until the car gets full. If you're in hurry, you can only go by paying for four people, but it depends on in which place you're because the situation is different in big cities
In Cape Town we don't use hand signals for taxis. I've lived in Joburg and Durban as well, but Cape Town's taxi routes are far more organized and efficient. You know if you stand on a particular street/road/spot that one will pass going in the direction you want. Just put up your hand and flag one down. The Golden Arrow bus service is also extremely efficient and easy to access in most places.
This was interesting, I didn’t expect it to be that similar to my country, Mexico. We also have the van taxi, we call them combi, it’s not considered a taxi, it’s more like a mini bus, way more affordable than a private taxi. And also the rusks, it’s similar to our roncadoras. And even the bakkies, we have the same over here but more frequently found in the countryside, not really in the cities.
Neat! I enjoyed this! Sounds like South Africa’s public transportation isn’t much better than most of the US’s public transportation. Where I live you have to call several hours in advance and then my city’s public transport will send either a big van or a small shuttle bus to pick you up at your house. And there will be other people you share it with. It then drops you off as close to your destination as they’re allowed to get (at Walmart they’ll drop you off at the front door, at the factory I work at they have to drop you off at the outside gate next to the road). I haven’t seen a gated yard before. That looks very nice! I have some friends who would love to have that! So much yummy looking food!!! I’m from the South in the US, so anything covered in gravy of some kind has got to be good!!! I think coffee and tea were both good guesses of what you dip the rusk into. Those would’ve been my top two thoughts based on the cup. Otherwise milk is the other beverage that people commonly dip types of food into. If it was in a bowl I’d assume it was some kind of sauce or dressing since that’s common. I eat croissants by dipping them in ranch dressing for example. Which isn’t uncommon here for people to do (dipping almost anything in ranch dressing is a pretty common thing where I live). I’d be soooooo nervous to drive a bakkie! Shoutout to those drivers for being able to do that! That’s talent!! Great video! I enjoyed it!
We have Uber, bolt, indriver, didi and other modes of transport. You request on your app and the driver will be at your gate within 5-10 mins, you don't have to wait for other passengers.
Most homes in S.A are gated because of the crime it's only in rural areas where you'll see a house with no fence and gate because it's safer than townships and suburbs. And yo our gates are👌🏽💯
Port Elizabeth has an inner city bus called Algoa Bus, its been there for decades, I used it for going to school. I sometimes choose not to drive my car & take the bus to remind myself of the good old days
So from this video we got to a conclusion that is: Similarities between South Africa 🇿🇦 and India 🇮🇳 1. Taxis - In India we also have Taxis like this 2. Bakkies - Too common here 3. Rusks- In India we use to eat rusks with Tea in the breakfast and it's our basic breakfast that we usually eat☕ 4. Gates - We have Gates but electric fencing is not that common may be you can find it in somwhere like in forest areas maybe for safety.. I don't know about that literally.. Sorry. So I guess Chantelle.. We are quite similar 🇿🇦 🇮🇳 Have a nice day to all members of Pagoda One; Sam, John & Chantelle 😃😃
Technically it is called a combi, taxi is when it is used as a taxi. These newer ones are slightly larger than the older taxis. When they first appeared there was a lot of controversy about their safety. The taxi's as is used in the rest of the world is known as a cab and in SA you need to book them. The hand signs depend on where you hail the taxi.
We also eat rusks with tea(hot milk tea) in Myanmar. The longer it stays in the hot tea, the softer it'll get and eventually cut off on it's own. So it's quite fun to take it out and eat before it breaks and sometimes you'll find yourself sending a rescue boat(new rusk)to save the previous one that you dropped 😁😁
John should show Chantelle and Sam pictures of different city skylines throughout the the US and have them guess what city the skyline is in by giving giving them some trivia questions about the cities. Or have them guess the state by the trivia facts about a city or a couple of cities. For example , Dallas/Fort Worth is the largest metro area in the north central portion of this state. Or Motown is not only the nickname given to of this Michigan city because the American Auto industry was started there. It's also the name of genre of music that got its name from the record company that in the 1960s introduced the world to artists like Marvin Gaye, the Jackson Five, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations , Smokey Robinson , Aretha Franklin and so many other R&B artists and groups of the time.
There's a point that she's missing , the nick name for that type of gate or fencing is "Stop-Nonsense" and their usually found in the Suburbs and Townships as those are crime hotspots and as for the villages we only need a simple small gate so that livestock doesn't enter or exit unanticipated as for the crime if someone tries to break in someone's house or yard the whole community disciplines them until he/she calls the cops and asks to go to jail coz that's better than mob justice Anyway love your videos so much
Chantelle google Areyeng busses and MyCity busses. That is just 2 examples of the intercity busses we use. Here in Pretoria are also City of Tshwane busses. Most municipalities have bus services.
BUNNY CHOW- name derived from "bhaniya" (Indian person generally of Gujarati descent) who sold these foods aka "chow". It's a curry served in hollowed bread which was created for convenience and low costs mainly intended for the "poor" man or worker during the apartheid era.
The Bunny chow name originated in the Indian community of Durban, SA. The name comes from Indian caste known as Banias, hence the name bunny chow. And another fun fact , Durban has one the largest population of Indians in the world, outside of India @Chantelle , we also have Uber, Bolt, and metered taxis for personal transportation LOL and not all bakkies are overloaded like that, its probably a photoshopped picture 🤣🤣

Rusks are a huge thing in India as well
Exactly what I was thinking
We no longer have Greyhound/Citiliner💔
Technically it is called a combi, taxi is when it is used as a taxi. These newer ones are slightly larger than the older taxis. When they first appeared there was a lot of controversy about their safety. The taxi's as is used in the rest of the world is known as a cab and in SA you need to book them. The hand signs depend on where you hail the taxi.
Golden Arrow is a 🚍 bus band
Maybe that's just here in Cape Town
Sam mentioned Narutooooo I'm crying 😭 Sam you are a man of culture. You got my approval for having a great taste in art 🔥
We do have intercity buses, Rea Vaya and Gautrain bus (Johannesburg), Are Yeng (Pretoria). And more
Toyota Quantum’s (taxis) are the fastest cars here in South Africa😭😂😂😂
We also eat rusks with tea(hot milk tea) in Myanmar. The longer it stays in the hot tea, the softer it'll get and eventually cut off on it's own. So it's quite fun to take it out and eat before it breaks and sometimes you'll find yourself sending a rescue boat(new rusk)to save the previous one that you dropped 😁😁
At 04:32 the bakkie is parked at Milnerton Golf Course. I live nearby there in Cape Town.
John should show Chantelle and Sam pictures of different city skylines throughout the the US and have them guess what city the skyline is in by giving giving them some trivia questions about the cities. Or have them guess the state by the trivia facts about a city or a couple of cities. For example , Dallas/Fort Worth is the largest metro area in the north central portion of this state. Or Motown is not only the nickname given to of this Michigan city because the American Auto industry was started there. It's also the name of genre of music that got its name from the record company that in the 1960s introduced the world to artists like Marvin Gaye, the Jackson Five, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations , Smokey Robinson , Aretha Franklin and so many other R&B artists and groups of the time.
We do have inner city buses
I live in Durban South Africa and we have Durban transport buses
There's a point that she's missing , the nick name for that type of gate or fencing is "Stop-Nonsense" and their usually found in the Suburbs and Townships as those are crime hotspots and as for the villages we only need a simple small gate so that livestock doesn't enter or exit unanticipated as for the crime if someone tries to break in someone's house or yard the whole community disciplines them until he/she calls the cops and asks to go to jail coz that's better than mob justice
Anyway love your videos so much
Bran and pecan nut rusks. And the classic buttermilk rusk. #WinterSurvivalKit
Rusk and Rooibos tea🔥🔥
No, rusks and proper tea.
Rusks are similar to zweibach or biscotti, right?
Some inner city bus services would be ria via, arireng and gautrain busses.
Chantelle google Areyeng busses and MyCity busses. That is just 2 examples of the intercity busses we use. Here in Pretoria are also City of Tshwane busses. Most municipalities have bus services.
BUNNY CHOW- name derived from "bhaniya" (Indian person generally of Gujarati descent) who sold these foods aka "chow". It's a curry served in hollowed bread which was created for convenience and low costs mainly intended for the "poor" man or worker during the apartheid era.
The Bunny chow name originated in the Indian community of Durban, SA. The name comes from Indian caste known as Banias, hence the name bunny chow.
And another fun fact , Durban has one the largest population of Indians in the world, outside of India
@Chantelle , we also have Uber, Bolt, and metered taxis for personal transportation LOL and not all bakkies are overloaded like that, its probably a photoshopped picture 🤣🤣
