    Not many people know this, but a " Passion gap" comes from slavery. Many slaves back then removed their front teeth as a way to take control of their own bodies as you can imagine during slavery our people weren't in charge of their own bodies. All the people in the video are coloureds and yes, some people have alot of gold in their teeth some have the caps and some have 1 full gold tooth or two on the left and right sides. My dad had a gold tooth and a gold slit my mom only had a gold slit. These days youngsters are moving away from the gold and putting those diamond studs on their teeth

      hard to believe even coloureds dont know how the gap began.....I think coloureds were affected most by apartheid because they are totally lost about their history than any ethnic group in SA. We need to reeducate them. Shems they are so lost.

    Actually all those people in the video were in fact part of the Coloured label.
    As you can see it's a broad vague cultural label.
    And as you can see, it includes a range of African to Asian spectrum of people.
    It is NOT a singular ethnos/race.
    It was basically the label where the Apartheid government put those "in-colony" people of colour who couldn't speak an indigenous language (generally spoke the establishment Dutch: Afrikaans), as Apartheid classifications were supposed to be on a cultural basis.

    • @christofferraby4712
      @christofferraby4712 11 месяцев назад

      The Dutch and British rulers only wanted their subjects to speak Dutch or English.
      Afrikaans developed into a language in its early precolonial stage from European sailors and indigenous khoikhoi trying to communicate in the 1500s and early 1600s.
      The second stage was the intermarriages between white working class laborers, with khoikhoi and former slaves from India, Malay islands, Madagascar and Mozambique. The Hugenots(French Christians) immigrants who came to the Cape for good to escape persecution also intermarried with the previously mentioned groups.
      These peoples all developed the Afrikaans language in the southern tip of Africa.
      They used Dutch as a written language until Afrikaans developed into its own written form.
      Many of the white Kneg(indentured servants) who married women in the Cape were Flemish sailors who worked on Dutch ships.
      This explains why Afrikaans is very similar to medieval Flemish with a strong Khoikhoi, and Malay influence with smaller influences from old French, and later on small English and Sotho and Nguni influences a couple centuries later as well as other smaller influences.
      Dutch and British colonial rulers whose homes were in Europe did not want to develop a new language. It was multicultural populations who lived permanently in Southern Namibia and the West coast of South Africa who developed Afrikaans.

      1) That's a nice little narrative (based on 20th century institutional Union of South Africa nationhood narrative building), but the reality is that Afrikaans is 95% Dutch and the remainder largely other European like German etc. with a *tiny* sprinkle of words from the Dutch East Indies (e.g Piesang from Indonesian).
      Also a tiny sprinkle of words come from native languages like "kudu" which comes from Xhosa "iqude" which evolved from khoekhoegowab. (largely a moribund "Latin" in SA)
      But these words in Afrikaans are so few and far between, that it's as ridiculous to define the language by categorically, as calling English "based on Japanese", simply because a few words like Tsunami are used.
      Afrikaans is a Dutch dialect.
      2) By the way, my original comment above was actually about the group label Coloured, not language, and as established in point 1) Afrikaans is the SA establishment's Dutch dialect, which was its only mention in the original comment and remains factual.

    It was also done because they wanted to drop their value so they wouldnt be bought as slaves..if you look at the yellow pages in Cape town you will find surnames of the months...like January February and so on these are descendants of slaves these these slaves were bought in these particular months. So your name was john and you were bought in November you became John November

    I never knew this, we learn everyday. I've been told the reason most Coloureds from the Cape don't have front teeth is because of too much fish, particularly snook fish because of the amount of salt it has. guess that was a lie.
