As white south african i went to work in England just after school for 2 years and I could not get along with those people or place. My grandparents wanted to know why Im going to away to an foreign place away from my people. So yeah not always a popular opinion but we really do believe we are African.
You are South African,you are born here,this is your home, all your life,its the only home that you have known all your life.so stick to it and don't allow people to make you feel less South African.you are 100%🇿🇦❤
When I was in the Eastern Cape, uBhuthi wam made my mom, dad and myself beautiful isiXhosa outfits and everyone loved it. Most people said "bakhangeleka bebahle kakhulu", so we were looking super cute ❤🇿🇦
The cultural appropriation part is so true. I think in America its seen as disrespectful coz there are systems that profit off of it without knowledge or acknowledgment. In South Africa we genuinely want to be involved and understand your culture. We celebrate each others cultures and differences. its what unifies us. The attire Afrikaans farmers wear, is like the national farmers uniform now and no one is stealing it, we all know who it belongs to, same goes for music, phrases, trends, they just become part of the South African symbol.
As a Boerenooi I would just like to say that everytime I bona a Xhosa, Zulu, Sotho, Afrikaner, Tswana, Venda, Swati, Couloured or Venda farmer in that boerboel looking farmer wear, I take a moment to appreciate it, because yoh, our South African men be looking fine in those broekies. This tannie appreciates it.
@janinedelange1299 and this is the typical response from a South African, its to say "haibo, you look good". And I agree Tannie, they do be looking good 😍💯😁
I was in the USA for quite a while many years ago. Listening to what you're saying, to me it means that they are as ignorant now as they were then. Some things never change 😆. Hai shame, ne?
The reason for no student loan debt is because the government pays for the majority of students in higher education. For low and middle income families. Most South Africans seriously don't appreciate this government initiative and have to leave the country and understand the struggles of young people in places like the US to appreciate it. The funding from government is called the National Student Aid Funding Scheme. All you have to prove is that you can't afford University tuition and the government pays all your tuition fees including for books, laptops, WiFi and internet, transportation and accommodation and a meal coupon for 3 or 4 meals a day. This lady unfortunately has little knowledge but she is atleast trying.
You forgot to tell them that in South Africa, we call it a family meeting when our President address us on tv, and we call him Uncle Cyril. 😂😂 ( im not a big fan of him, but I thought this is something that's only South African)
Spot on! My daughter is 7 and that's the only way she knows him as. During loadshedding she would say - oh no! Uncle Cyril switched the lights off again! LOL😆
Hello Miss Hutchinson. It’s wonderful to see you here. You look familiar. Did you go to MPS? I may have taught you life skills decades ago. Seeing you online makes me so happy. If you from the ridge - this makes me smile. Be blessed. PS December brings a feeling of connection and happiness. Historically our parents received bonuses so once a year you received a little more. Some years the houses were painted internally and parents purchased us clothing aka Christmas clothes. Dressing up on Christmas Day was like a fashion show. We went to church because Christmas was about Jesus. We connected to o family and friends and even those who had less than us could come over to your home uninvited for a meal. Ubuntu was practised. Be blessed and thrive where you are and hold true to your roots.
No I don’t get offended by people wearing cultural clothes from my tribe instead of if I go to a wedding I try to wear clothes from whatever culture the bride and groom come from and also with heritage day I try to wear an outfit from a different culture every year
Another interesting fact about South Africa is that when the Springboks are doing well, we're doing well. The country's vibes are based on our rugby team.
Chatsworth! Knew you were a fellow KZN girl. You should try this ice breaker over there and explain what it means! (Forgive I may not type it right) Amatombazane amanje awasapheki njengo mama babo, uphuzu jenga baba babo! I made a few Zulu ladies laugh with that and then I tell ones like "Siyabonga Emabodweni" to our tourists. 😇
my family has been here since at least the early 1700s, maybe earlier... in the same valley. The USA probably has 3 times as many Indian people, but Durban is considered the largest population of indians in one city outside of India
Durban has the largest population of people of Indian descent BORN outside of India and not necessarily MIGRATED..America has a largest population of people of Indian descent who actually MIGRATED there from India and they not necessarily born in America..but I could be wrong
USA is at least 8x larger by land size, has 6x the population and 6 time zones. South Africa is pikinini in everything but the spirit of togetherness...when we need to be😉

My brother,never let ANYONE make you feel like you not from here,the devil is a liar ❤🇿🇦💯
You are South African. You're born here your roots are here. We might not be the same colour but we are one.
You are South African,you are born here,this is your home, all your life,its the only home that you have known all your life.so stick to it and don't allow people to make you feel less South African.you are 100%🇿🇦❤
Why is it hard for them to grasp? Don’t they refer to white people in America as Americans?
You are from Mzansi and it is your home

Its not only education. So many things r good in South Africa.
And corruption is holding us back.

Or Papa, when we want an extra holiday 😂

@@thulanintunja3349 pretty sure I'm right.
Actually, it's Kaiser Chiefs. When the team wins, it boosts the economy..
@@maropenemphasha5403 the springboks win world cups genius. If any sport boosts the country's economy it would be one where we are actually good.

This makes a lot of sense, yazi? I've always been confused by this theory
Durban has the largest population of people of Indian descent BORN outside of India and not necessarily MIGRATED..America has a largest population of people of Indian descent who actually MIGRATED there from India and they not necessarily born in America..but I could be wrong
@@bluecouchpodcast24 I think durban is about 1.5 million, and USA 4.5
@poepflater 4,5 born or migrated ? Remember USA imports alot of Indians to it's industries
Yohh, your vocab is sooo American influenced, accent, mannerisms and all, how long have to been there?
Your Accent should be given a name...its like a cocktail of accents

No I don't get offended when pple explore my culture. But I'd probably be offended if they started making money out of my culture.
That’s understandable.
