I am South African from KwaZulu Natal Province and a Zulu speaker. Busi seems to have represented us well in South Korea 🤣🤣🤣 Zulus speak their language anywhere lol. I remember speaking Zulu in Thailand lol
That is not true. Lobola was historically set by Chiefs depending on the economy or availability of cattle. That is why Nguni tribes went on cattle raids. The wealth in cattle was most pronounced for lobola. In KZN, when the British took over, the British Magistrate set the lobola terms at Regional level, depending on the wealth of people and as cows were taken by whites, the lobola terms were adjusted to less cattle and other items. Otherwise people would not get married.
Drop your flag 🇺🇸 It’s a long one, but I hope you enjoy it. I really had a fun time during this interview styled video! Living in Korea you will meet wonderful ppl from all over! ❤🎉 Much love to #SouthAfrica from #America

As a Cape Coloured South African,I explained to my white daughter in law,you my gal is now of my tribe,you belong to us...don't mean ever disrespect or love your own parents any less, she loves it.
Seriously just like Africans are One but have different tribes with aspects of different cultures, The coloureds too are a Tribe in their specific countrys of Birth I Africa. They are all one Africa just a tribe called, Coloured, mixed, molattoo etc etc workdwide
@tombimashri8149 you've hit the nail on the head. Coloureds are indeed a creole ethno-cultural group, representing the multi-generational blending and fusion of diverse racial and cultural populations into a distinctive and unified identity. This process of creolization is a fascinating aspect of history and culture, not only seen in Coloured communities but also in various creole populations globally. Similar creole populations can be found in Africa, such as in Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Mauritius, and St Helena. Additionally, creole communities have flourished worldwide in the Americas, Brazil, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The shared experience of creolization involves the amalgamation of African, European, and often Native or other influences, resulting in unique cultures, languages, and traditions.
The difference between West African and Southern African bantus is that the West are the loud and proud cousins whilst Southerners are cool , calm and quiet until alcohol dilutes our blood. Marriage customs are basically the same with nuances like the bride has to point out whom her husband to be is during lobola ceremony ( Nigeria through to S.A. ). It's a bantu thing. Clapping hands whilst greeting visitors and curtseying/kneeling is expected in order to show humility ( observing protocol ) and hospitality. There's not much heads up when one visits, otherwise it's not a "visit " but an "appointment" and that's not "ubuntu." We will acknowledge you as many times as we meet you and genuinely ask after your well being before getting down to business on hand. A built-in empathy gene, still working in us. You revealed the true meaning of lobola ( to thank avazali " literally birthers a.k.a. parents" for the phenomenal bride ) and many miss the symbolism.
@@ZAR_72 I think he meant west bantu like Congo and Angola, and some African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Mexicans are of west bantu descendant through slavery
@@Justafox305 Ok I get you. It's just that people get it confused saying Bantu come from West Africans based on false European scholars. I believe that Bantu and West Africans are related for sure, but I don't believe the latter birthed the former. This is coming from a Bantu man based in South Africa whose oral history passed down by the elders speak of North and Eastern part of Africa. West Africans probably came from the same North Eastern region, and this would make us brothers/cousins but not parent and child. Bible example: Judah and Levi are brothers. Levi is not Judah and Judah is not Levi. Judah is Israel, but Israel is not Judah. Israel is the father and Judah the son. With this example, even if West Africans gave rise to Bantu (as Europeans claim), West Africans would still not be Bantu. Bantu would be considered West Africans (in origin), but West Africans would not be considered Bantu. Israel is not Judah/Jew. The Bible examples are just examples, not saying black people are Israelites and also not saying black people are not Israelites. I don't know, so take it as an example
Shirley forgot the Indians in KZN which is the highest population outside India..great video n plese do more videos like this..u have gained a South African subscriber 🇿🇦
Mkhaya, why don't you mention Pretoria, with its Paliamentary buildings, n so many other places n in the Eastern Part, Mpumalanga is also a place of more attractions ie. The natural views n the Kruger National Park
Ask her if she ever went to the zulu ball, zulu parade in new orleans, or the bantu festival in chicago for ppl of bantu dna to connect. (African Americans- with our west bantu ancestors of the bakongo and mbundu tribe), Congo and Angola ppl (modern day bakongo and mbundu) , and South Africans , all unite.
The other big cities that people don't know a lot about in South Africa are: Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth(now known as Gqeberha), Pretoria, Nelspruit(Bombela), and Umtata
Thanks a lot to my sister there, whenever I’m asked about a country within a country of South Africa all I ever think of is Lesotho, ESwatini never cross my mind!!!
Actually, Johannesburg is more famous than Cape Town. It’s also the richest city in Africa. By far. Cape Town is like Miami , Johannesburg is like New York. No ways is Miami more famous than New York. Also Cape Town is very small compared to Johannesburg.
Growing up I thought Americans are all smart, educated, intelligent, wise until I had a debate with them physically and on social media that's when I've realised they are the same as us Africans. The only difference is the culture and languageaccent. The media made us to believe lies
To be honest some families are not too hard with lobola, you give what u can afford and promise to pay later and the rest of the marriage process goes on. Thd symbolism of lobola ix for families to know each other, no family wants to give away their daughter to people they have not seen and assessed.
Lol. It's interesting you mention lack of discipline in South Korean schools in one breath and then mentioned how respectful the students are in another. I guess you don't have to beat on or yell at students to get respect if it's already embedded in the culture?
And when Seila says Coloured ppl have their own accent, "askies" is a good example, 'cause it's from Coloured Afrikaans. The "proper" formal word is "ekskuus", but everyone uses "askies" now.
Nigeria has a version of lobola called bride price the only difference is instead of money and gifts alone Nigerians pay with food, goats and money, I know this because I actually dated a Nigerian woman and I even moved to Nigeria but we didn't work out so I moved back to SA, if you want a man I'm also willing to move to South Korea I'm just putting it out there in the universe 😂
Coloureds people come in many different colours, some just like these 2 ladys seated here., some coloureds anr darker skin it all depends if they were asian/Black mix or other
The Xhosa tribe are quite similar to the African Americans. The way we carry ourselves, speaking our mind, always ready to rumble lol, no nonsense, brave, political(Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Trevor Noah), talented singer(very soulful), quite loud or outspoken, not to mess with the women, open minded.
@@siyancede5241 Mmm mmm mm mhh that's xhosas for you, i know your comment doesn't have an ill intent but i think it's about high time as Africans we become proud of our heritage the black Americans we look up to so much they wish they know about their ancestry and thina what do we do we look down to our cultures despise it deep down we feel it's primitive and unnecessary but that's our true power as Africans and we should cherish it, but i know your comment was meant to be humorous so i am not bannishing you or anything
I'm a South African black male living in Cape Town and you two are such a lovely duo. I think the South African lady generalizes a tad too much. Some of the things she said were a little uncomfortable. Such a shame she could've represented.
Mjadala mkubwa (great discussion)! First, Black people in the United States should drop the term 'Black American' and pick an African (Bantu) name for the (collective) group, e.g., Maboma ('many villages' < Kiswahili). The "Black American" term does nothing to denote that the associated person is of African origin. In fact, the term "Black American" sounds like someone who is classified as an appendage culturally , ethnically and philosophically to the American, the name that the white colonizers, who founded the eventual United States, gave themselves. Perhaps Black people ought to embrace their African heritage and identify as Bantu. Just keep it simple. The African culture in the US is based on this geo-ethnic background. The rest of the African Diaspora is pretty much Bantu as well. Everyone needs an ethno-lingua-cultural reference for themselves which references the 7 major areas of culture: ethos, economics, politics, creative arts, social organization, history and mythology. Put all of the greatest talents, achievements and narratives from past and present under the banner of the new name. Though the group is based in the US, having a home and affiliation in Africa is part of the birthright as well as a conduit for economic and political leverage in a mzungu (white) dominated country (United States). The group should state that they are Africans. This creates proper order. Second, develop an Africa linkage/engagement plan. Multi-level engagement w/ Africa is the basic solution and path forward for African-Americans. Just thinking outside the box by a Bantu passing by!
@@bonganibophela2819 African linguists disagree in regard to your saying that BANTU is not African. There is a great, short book entitled 'The Bantu Spring' (by Sizwe Mabanga). It's only 40pgs.
@@bonganibophela2819 There is good reasoning behind other niger/congo africans calling themselves "bantu" and remember many of our tribe/clan names are giving to us by our admirers,enemies or rivals
@@bonganibophela2819 The name Africa was giving to us aswell by the Colonizers we are not even sure what the name means,atleast the name "bantu" we can trace similar words in our languages (Batho,Bantu,watu etc) we use which proves we had contact with other Niger/congo or "Bantu" people and even share an ancestry
Why, is it because Black is a racial classification invented by a White man?. I will also argue that we also need to get rid of the Bantu classification because it was invented by a Nazi German linguist called Wilhelm Bleek. Some will also go as far as arguing that Africa is a name given after a European.
🤷♀It's because the word is associated with segregation during the Jim Crow Law era, in the US. It's not so offensive it's just a term not commonly used anymore as some prefer African, Afro or Black American - I, myself not offended as my great-grandmother still uses it - It was just a first hearing the word outside of the US. 😂
Linguists are people like you and me so if the first linguist twisted the meaning fopr whatever intention we must just agree? As I said in the Zulu language " muntu" - person "Bantu" -people, Sotho language "motho" person "batho" people. This is an obvious twisted translation but there is a lot where if you understood both languages you ask yourself how did they get it so wrong but most people don't question just take it at face value.
I am South African and my fellow South African is talking absolute rubbish about the electricity blackouts. The national utility is generating less power than before 1994 who it is distributed to is not relevant. This is down to incompetence and corruption.
And supply. The power supply wasn;t meant to supply the whole population. Only 10% of the population. There was load shedding in Soweto since the 80's. And the population exploded after 1994 too. You're throwing out the baby with the bath water. So much so I'm willing to gamble that you're white saying all this.
You are talking nonsense. ESKOM produces far more electricity than the apartheid Era. Get some education. Corruption and all but there's far higher numbers than there was then.
Eskom is delivering electricity to 96% of the population after 1994, before 1994 it delivered only 16.7 % to whites, Indians and coloureds. White racist government was the most corrupt government go and check Info Scandal, the Stellenbosch Mafia, boere mafia and so on, those make the ANC government look like angels.
Dont let Catherine fool you. All South African yts are racist including her. She's definitely never been to a black home in SA. The only black people she knows are servants: the black woman who is a maid that cleans her house and cooks and all. And then the other black person she knew was the black man who is garden boy.
Great chat ladies....the topic on ethnicity...totally no no....madam has defrenciated the Race groups in SA rather than the ethnicity...ethnicity has got to do with the groups of people withing each race groups exampl amongst the Race Black you would get ...the zulus, pedis, vendas, xhosas, amongst the indians you would get the hindus, telegus, muslims, urdus, tamils etc ....oi oi
madams explaination on ethnicity totally wrong, she explained race instead ie whites ,blacks, coloreds and indians. ethnicity got to do with the different groups within each race like blacks would have the zulus, pedi, vendas and indians would have hindus, muslims, urdus, tamils etcetera

Lobola is quantified with cattles not Sheep or goats. The are no similarities between Nigerians and South Africans.

Eskom is delivering electricity to 96% of the population after 1994, before 1994 it delivered only 16.7 % to whites, Indians and coloureds. White racist government was the most corrupt government go and check Info Scandal, the Stellenbosch Mafia, boere mafia and so on, those make the ANC government look like angels.
The one talking rubbish is you, the beautiful South African sisi was on point.

Dont let Catherine fool you. All South African yts are racist including her. She's definitely never been to a black home in SA. The only black people she knows are servants: the black woman who is a maid that cleans her house and cooks and all. And then the other black person she knew was the black man who is garden boy.
Nope you are wrong
You are talking bs, just because you hate South Africans doesnt mean yoy have to make up lies about them.
Great chat ladies....the topic on ethnicity...totally no no....madam has defrenciated the Race groups in SA rather than the ethnicity...ethnicity has got to do with the groups of people withing each race groups exampl amongst the Race Black you would get ...the zulus, pedis, vendas, xhosas, amongst the indians you would get the hindus, telegus, muslims, urdus, tamils etc ....oi oi
Yes you’re right but luckily my friend knew what I meant. My mistake
madams explaination on ethnicity totally wrong, she explained race instead ie whites ,blacks, coloreds and indians. ethnicity got to do with the different groups within each race like blacks would have the zulus, pedi, vendas and indians would have hindus, muslims, urdus, tamils etcetera
She made a mistake,Eswatini is sharing borders with Mozambique
