Africa has so many problems and with many problems you need solutions which creates opportunities. The problem is Africans don't want to build but want something that is already being built.. I for one will never leave SA when SAns are hungry and unemployed but the land is empty and soil fertile . SA is capable to feed SAns!!
@@ThabangMkhwanazi Sorry but don't bank on the American and European e-commerce and podcasts. They only accept people who will do their bidding and agree with their talking points ONLY, nothing at all that will lift up Africa. If Africa wants to succeed they need their OWN free market, not mix in with European as the IMF banks will take all of your money. That's the reason why Africa struggles. Banks hold all the African money in Europe.
@@suezcontours6653 if they use us, we can use them too. That's why I mention the need for a united Africa in the video, we're much stronger together than as individual countries. Look at the European Union (EU) for an example.
Only white SAns leave SA to go and work in other african countries. They have jobs especially in mining and securiy in others country. They were plenty in vodacom in my country. And they arr still plenty in the mining and securoty field. I always asked myseld why these SA companies accross africa never hire bkack SAns but only white SAns. White SAns are also the only ones that we see in touristm in other african countries. I saw them in Morocco. Tunisia. Tanzania, Kenya, Egypt, Senegal. But that is not.only black SAns , other africans also usually dont visit other african countries.I also met them outside of Africa( whites). Still on tourism. Met them in Australia, Europe, Asia, South america and north america but never black SAns.. Where do black SAns travel for leisure out of SA?
Exactly ! I felt the same. To my surprise Europeans also feel the same. We have a very relaxed environment and receptive people. Example, hotels in Europe and America don’t offer what SA offers as far as food is concerned. People are stressed in the streets of Europe. We laugh, chat even in trains.South Africans are resilient even in difficult conditions. South Africans share anything, there’s still humanity. The list is long. We still have people in the whole Africa. More than SA, I will never forget Nigeria.Nigerians in their country are very good, trust me, they are very warm. Don’t judge Nigeria on migrants. Those people don’t give the right picture of Nigeria. I love Nigeria, as a country and its real people. I can write a book about Nigeria, very good and warm people.
proudly South African and I dont see myself leaving Mzansi for any other country in the world. South Africa is my home and I will die in the borders of SA
For me as a a proud South African 🇿🇦. Traveling to other countries is something I want to do just for me to see how other people survive in other countries cause I I do believe Traveling helps you learn and expand your mind. But to be honest SA is the best for me and our country has so much potential and am seeing some people in our country who are starting small business and making money online. This makes me get more excited about how country will be like in years to come💙🇿🇦. Proudly South African 🇿🇦
I agree, traveling does expand one's mind and we get to learn about other cultures and people. Traveling for fun is great, but there's just something about SA🇿🇦🙆🏽♂️
For sure South Africans can't be compared to SADC counterparts. Only south Africans involved in big projects with good salaries can live in Mozambique. Mozambique is good for a holiday specially Reveillon ( end of the year) in Ponta Douro or other beautiful Beaches it's a good experience. Since 2016 our economy dropped down and life is tough here , I was still young when my family moved definitely to South Africa and I refused to leave this country the life was good for all who went to school but now I'm struggling to survive. I think we should stay and figt in our countries instead of jumping the fence to South Africa although my parents argued that we had South Africans ancestors
Well done. So pleased there are more people like me who believe SA could be the next economical hub of the world. I would to spend some time with you one day just to learn more of your philosophy. Kind regards Louise CPT.
Yes to traveling-No to immigration for me. In addition to opportunities in SA, it’s easier to thrive in your birth country than a foreign one. We can open businesses and bank accounts, have access to business loans, bond for our homes etc… Our culture is also so amazing too, ppl are generally happy, friendly and easy going. I just love SA and Cape Town👌
It’s very easy to open a bank account in another country. Also all the successful foreign nationals in SA should be a message to you that immigrants possess a different perspective that also allows for them to see different opportunities for success. Sociological studies confirm this worldwide and call this dynamic “migrant advantage”
Much respect to South Africans! I’ve never come across them anywhere in the west. I heard that there’s a tiny number of them working in the oilfields of Alberta and they never stay too long. I guess if you guys never ran away during the brutality of apartheid why would you leave your country now. You have great food, lovely music, amazing culture and beautiful women. Leaving for the west will be a betrayal for all you have suffered. The memories is Steve Biko, Mandela, Watarada and all your brave heroes must not be disrespected by running away. I hope Nigerians will learn from you guys. So much potential lost and so much cowardice in the face of their fellow compatriots. Nigerians blame power cuts for them leaving for the west. Pathetic lots 😅
Well, someone just had to tell the truth! It makes no sense to suddenly feel so pressured to leave my country because of problems, when the word problem is what I was born into in 1984. Surely it can't rattle me now! Thank you James.
This vlogger made a well-reasoned content. And you also noted another obvious reason "...if you guys never ran away during the brutality of apartheid why would you leave your country now" and I'd add a ? at the end for you. But why not leave your comment just positive instead of dragging in Nigerians to thrash and call them Pathetic lots? SAns have good reasons, as enunciated by the vlogger to not leave their country, and I wouldn't leave if I were a SAn, but does that mean that other nationals should do same? Chinese, Indians, Arabs are all over the world hustling, while America and Europe are also all over the world destabilizing nations and plundering their resources. SA businesses are in Nigeria. As a Nigerian who left Nigeria and Africa to school, learn and equip myself, I am planning to extend my business to Africa, starting with Nigeria, SA and Kenya and this vlog has added to my notes on SA. So leaving Nigeria makes me pathetic Mr James Jon? My compatriots back home in Nigeria are not doing as badly as people like you want to paint them; 1. Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa and built by black people, 2. Nigeria leads Africa in tech, banking services, entertainment, and many more and competes with the best in the world. 3. Nigeria is both self-sufficient in auto manufacture and even exports to other African country; from everyday cars to luxury cars and coaches. 4. Nigeria's Military Industrial Complex is self-sufficient and builds military hardware that covers land, sea and air defense and offensive needs which even European countries patronize alongside AU, UN and other African countries. 5. With the completions of the Dangote Refinery and Fertilizer companies, biggest in Africa and ranking globally, together with the planned massive push into Agriculture after taking out the West-sponsored destabilization groups, Nigeria's GDP will hit a $Trillion within 10 - 15 years. Can you boldly tell me, James Jon, where you are from and what you are doing that Nigerians can learn from?
@@isoryte201 Keep deluding yourself. A country where 70% of its people leave below 1 dollar a day. Stop romanticizing the country it is nothing but a shit hole. 50,000 women die in child birth a year in nigeria. that is the equivalent of 500 Boeing 757 crashing with pregnant women alone and you tell me that is a great nation. nigerian resources is a cash cow for its corrupt and immoral elite. The worst part of it is that the oppressed population have no intuition to analyze their own situation and seek for a solution. The mentality of the nigerian is; "yes I am oppressed but I am waiting for my own chance to become rich and oppress other less fortunate people". Which country in the world would criminals invade a school and cart away 500 girls and keep raping them day in day out. criminal gangs use nigerian banks to transact ransom money from kidnap victims. nigerian banks are a conduit to launder corrupt and stolen money from the treasury to foreign offshore accounts. Dont get me started with the Police
@@jamesjon1500 The lies and venom of a man who's not proud of his country to mention it nor proud of himself. For every figure you contrived in your head and dropped here against Nigeria, the stats show actual figures 10 times less. It'd help you to get some education to know how to read and get facts, and carrying so much anger is not healthy. If you are looking for 50,000 deaths records in a year, you can check gun deaths in the US as well as Opioid OD just to mention a few. And in same US, Nigerians are the doing better than any other ethnic group, including Americans, Chinese, Indians, Koreans, you name them. Canada will even be by a bigger margin, if they carry out such research. If after surviving all the attacks and chaos the West has thrown at Nigeria , Nigeria still remains this strong, we cannot wait for Nigeria's next chapters and they are looking very promising - the emergence of a black African superpower. You're welcome
@@isoryte201 Nigeria has nothing to be proud of. No social welfare for poor and desperate people. No emergency services for health or crime or any other desperate situation. Every single amenity or policy that has made human life liveable and dignified is lacking in your horrible hell hole. The most coveted city in the country and so called centre of excellence has been adjudged the worst city in the world. I live in the north of the country and kidnapped people are still in captivity a year after, while their abductors still communicate with the families of their victims negotiating ransom. your president is the poster boy of Nigerias dysfunction. running to London to treat ear infection. You should be ashamed of yourself glorifying mediocrity. Nigeria deserves no respect in the comity of nations. it should be shunned and ridiculed to high heaven. Stupid!
I have met many South Africans who have never even been to my home country Lesotho which is crazy cause Lesotho is located inside South Africa. I spent 45 yrs in America, living and working mainly in Los Angeles and the Entertainment industry and 3 yrs in Europe and traveling is a very great education and l would not have changed those experiances for the world. I now luve in both Lesotho and South Africa and will be using my contacts in Los Angeles and Hollywood to help build up my country and South Africa. I am working on getting my US celebrity black friends in Ameica to market themselves here cause we have over a billion black people in Africa as opposed to only 40 million in America
Thank you, we highly appreciate people like you, the content creators because we learn a lot from you guys. I tell you my TV is now RUclips because I get to choose what goes to my ears. And I am happy that content creators are emerging in SA. BIG-UPS.
South Africa is home man. No matter how hard it is at times I would rather be here than else where. Yes we have alots and and lots of problems and other Africans mock us about them, but we will never leave, we have never done massive migrations in the past or in the future, we stand on this land, we live on this land, we will fight for this land and we will die on this land. uMzansi wethu, our home.
i noticed that too bra🙇🏽♂️🤞🏽 i'm glad there are channels that bring this knowledge to other people who had no idea that these things are happening in South Africa. I've been seeing youtubers being dragged for bringing "american ideas in SA" but they keep growing nevertheless. About Africa being the biggest leading economies, we will reach there. I hope so🙏🏽
Africa as a whole is much better than it used to be, look at counties loke Rwanda and the strides they have made. Human rights can be violated anywhere, even in western countries.
Africa have no time for humanity, it's not prioritized and it's an obligation to necessity and is very limited. The only part of Africa that has humanity is SA, and it is so much abused by people coming from countries who have no time for humanity. SA is carrying loads of heavy bags of other African problems, and forgot to take care of its own people and country. SA people and government are depressed by other countries and other African countries endless moaning and neediness, and they're drowning. SA are working disrespectful border jumpers day and night and they don't get time for break. SA is loosing much money by this nonsense.
@@rainbowtrust6347 I think we need not forget how we attained our democracy. It was an African fight, to a large extent. Now we need to find ways to curb illegal immigration in the country, but allow all legally qualifying individuals to trade in the country. Let's not forget that what goes around comes around, we may need our African brothers and sisters one day. Especially now with rumors of terrorists trying to attack our country. A united Africa is more powerful than a divided one.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi my brother I understand you very well. The only thing I'm against is the abuse of our democracy by others. I think we have done more than enough humanity to the point that our nation is forgotten. Everyone including myself feels like our struggle wasn't for us, to start helping everyone come out from the darkness days of the previous NP government. It just serves anyone coming in from day one. People who have it all, all along and decided to do whatever they thought was best for them. All of them from over 65 years down to 42 years of their freedom. SAns didn't know what freedom is like, and didn't even go or flood to those countries see how it's like to be free. But as soon as we have it here, and trying to get things together, there and there we were joined by all of them, before the chance of getting the lands, what they have for a long time in their countries. And didn't have even a chance to build or finish building our homes and make money for ourselves for various purposes like creating businesses. Mhhh umm, they are all massively come down to grab whatever they lay hands on, to the point of becoming cheaper labours so much that we are blocked our way from employment. And of course no employee will say no to anyone who believes slavery. And SA limitations of living keep on decreasing every day. Not because they wanted much more salary, because they were many things the wages are supposed to meet their demands eg bills, schools necessities, food, transportation, house rates and medical assurance. That is when all the hell got loose, when our government didn't see fit for SAns, the beneficiaries to deserve the decent living conditions of earning what they work for. And allow all these so called investors in SA to punish them by denying them employment. So they decided to cut them out and employ the outsiders. And since everyone so called investor coming to SA is already introduced to foreigners already. Especially at this time of Ramaphosa, who's like he has made a deal with the devil. To think that, the only thing good for SAns is to be granted with R350 for the hungriest of the poor people. Instead of at least R3500 earned salary of the those people . People who were always been workers in SA even before this democracy hell for them that is meant for richer to be the millionaires, and the poor to be the poorest and laughing stock of those who just came in and enjoy the sweat of real South Africans. So I can as much as tell you now, I am not convinced and never will I ever be accustom myself to be undermined by the system that I have scars of the history, and my father didn't enjoy jail and my brother never applied to be cut off from his school days in his younger age to help my mother raise us. Me, friends and cousins to endure batons, teargas and rubber bullets and many other died, and all that don't sit well with me, and scratching my head trying to figure out where to start with what. As for listening how good foreigners do, how rich our most currupt president and president who sleeps on matrasses and sofas packed with money. And we people must cheer them THEM nooo, we are hurting because nobody is hearing us. We have nothing, we've became peasants in our own country not by choice but by dumb damn selfish suppressing to SAns democracy. Yes I have nothing to lose what I already lost to grabbers and no need to teach or convince me. Today our country is ragged and crime is 1000 % times worse and poverty on its best while murder has become like a part of our culture, and the country with no limitations to immigration, and no seriousness in justice system, and worse in everything. A country who lost its identity and dignity by allowing foreign criminals to hijack infrastructures, destroying anything they see, touch, as well as hijacking economic resources by force. What kind of democracy is that. From the whole world, It happens only in SA where its people are turning to leave their beautiful homes to where they will just get a peace of mind. Since anyone allowing this country to be filled by non SA citizens, just because your expectations are to have problems to fight for, or to seek another asylum. We must just forget everything because it's like we'll never experience fights over this country, because you won't fight the same way this second time. This country is as good as lost to your favorites foreigners. The only thing you can worry about when this country is run by these mafias, your rich presidents and families, rich people and Europeans will be all gone. And SA peasants will be polishing your foreign bosses and other foreign presidents and ministers snuffers of white powder. Search other countries in southern Africa democratic constitution eg Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia even Zimbabwe etc and maybe you'll realize that SA is a laughing stock in Africa and abroad.
@@rainbowtrust6347 you raise valid concerns my brother. Immigration needs to be checked, borders need to be properly guarded and only legal immigrants must be allowed into the country. But we also need to look at what we can do as the people to provide for ourselves. We cannot depend on the government precisely because they are failing us. What can we, the citizens do to make our lives better? Any suggestions?
When I look at Africa or Nigeria, I used to see so many problems that was inundating. Now I’m at a place where I have realised that my perception was the problem. Where there are problems, there are opportunities to proffer solutions and make money as a byproduct. Developing economies have so much potential for the locals to tap into before the multinationals swoop in. I’m not in Nigeria at the moment but where I’m has given me so much opportunity to learn. The next stage is to model it in my beloved Nigeria. Education is never complete without travelling. Seeing a place on RUclips or via traditional media even movies is no where as accurate as physically experiencing it in person. There is no place like Nigeria; I love and hate it😂 To each his own. Peace!
I think as Africans we believe the propaganda by the West that Africa is diseased and poor, that there are no opportunities. While they come here and loot resources that have always been here but we've been blind to them. All of Africa has potential, especially if one looks deeply in their own backyard. We're more alike than we are different, with similar problems and opportunities. We just need people who'll stop complaining for a minute and start doing.
Born and raised in Soweto, later lived in Johannesburg. Now living in Durban. What I've learnt is that when you repent and change your attitude, your situation changes. I don't agree that there are a lot of problems in South Africa. There are a lot of solutions, changing our attitude is important. Plenty of opportunities. I appreciate the blessing God gave to me, I appreciate my surroundings. I'm grateful to be a South African. I thank God. No need to move to any other African country.
@@kingc6175 conspiracy theories and excuses I think. No one's holding a gun to our heads at an individual level. We just need to make better choices. I believe each one of us can change their lives for the better if we so choose.
Yeah the opportunities in Africa are waaay bigger. The west can give you really high salaries but The opportunity to build amazing companies for your self is drawing me back to Africa. So many problems to solve means lots of opportunity. I'm a Zimbabwean living in NY, and working in the Fintech sector. I've recently started the process of moving back home but will live between southern africa and new york for the forseeable future.
Come back, use the skills you have learnt, solve problems you see in your nation and neighboring nations and build legacy businesses that will outlive you. Africa now is your time!
@@ThabangMkhwanazi The Machine learning market for example, is about 20billion globally now. Its projected to grow to $209 billion within the next 7 years. That is a MASSIVE opportunity for us. We should be pushing for these types of courses to be taught in school.
Yet millions of them are coming to south Africa why would I go to their countries they not giving us that interest of going to their countries I will not
As someone who has travelled to a number of African countries I always see white South Africans. Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda ,Zim, Mozambique etc. Never see black South Africans. Im sure there's a strong black middle class in SA but for some reason they just don't travel to other African countries for holidays. Anyway would encourage people to travel if they have the means. Youll become so open minded and have some out of this world experiences.
You are right. Our fellow black South Africans brothers still think South Africa is the best place to live but that is not true. I believe SA is still the best place for an unemployed person because the government protects the people, but opportunity for black people to have a good life are even scarce
@@gangomane840 that's not true though. There are plenty of opportunities for people here in South Africa. I'm sure you love Mozambique with all its challenges right? Same with most South Africans, we love our country deeply. That's why some people even say hurtful things, it's a defense mechanism, they are trying to protect the country they love so deeply, even with its flaws. South Africa is blessed, our people need to make use of the many opportunities we have here. The thing is, we don't need to move to other countries for opportunities. The people here know that, it may be laziness or sometimes lack of knowledge that cause them not to succeed, but they see and know they can succeed here.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi You are right my friend. 70% of my family are south Africans I know South Africa very well. I never advise any south African to come and live in Mozambique because I know the challenges but what I say is that you need to travel to see what is taking place in the neighborhood countries, whites are not crazy when they approach, you guys think you are the best but when you come to Maputo and see the black people medium living class you will change you mind. Whites are taking all opportunities in SA
@@gangomane840 Most South Africans love to travel, that won't be an issue I think. It's migrating that's hard for us. But I'll definitely come to your country and other countries on the continent. I've heard how beautiful Maputo is from my Mozambiquen friends who have offered to bring me over that side.
That is the will to serve Africa whetever you are rather than run to developed countries for your own good only. Whole heartly support what you said, opportunities sre here let us encourage and support young people to stay home and improve our own evonomy. Continue developing Africa wherever you are.
I'm jamaican but I don't think the older leaders will unit Africa the younger generation will older leaders are like old slow computer there mind set is backwards
The younger leaders seem to be affected by the biases and attitudes of the elder leaders too. It's going to be tough uniting Africans, I'm finding that out as I try. We need to reprogram ourselves by actually working together instead of pointing fingers at each other.
Only if we willing to see each other's view and stop being jeleous of each other. I was watching an African American RUclipsr reacting to Nigerian wedding, I left a beautiful comment. I went to an African American reacts about South Africa in RUclips again and in the comments things other African countries say about us is absurd then I ask myself will I be supporting an Nigerian person in RUclips who stay in Nigeria No. The one who stay in South Africa I 100% support their Chanel because of the positive things they say so if it always negative you not going support that.
South Africans are like Zambians when it comes to migration. I think the biggest reason for South Africans not to move or explore other countries is Tribal. South Africans feel confident and comfortable when they approach you as Zulu's, Pedi's, Tswana's etc. Once a South African is singled out they tend to have a difficult time to adapt and they feel vulnerable. That's my assessment.
Tribalism in South Africa really has no impact, well atleast where I'm based. Johannesburg is filled with all kinds of nationalities, yet people co exist well together. I think we don't move because of the strength of our economy. Not that we don't have problems, they are many. But one is still able to start from scratch and build something because economic conditions still allow for it. No wars, no sanctions, we can trade with everyone and are able to self determine in that regard. Even with all the problems, South Africans love their country. All races and all the tribes, we share the love for our country. That's my assessment.
South Africans are not as tribal as other countries. We get along with all groups and intermarry, and most of us speak more than two languages. Even with all the problems we have, we still have a better economy and the highest standards of living compared to some African, Caribbean, middle eastern, and Asian countries. And moreover, we love our home!
@@ThabangMkhwanazi hey guys I didn't say we are Tribalistic NO NO NO. What I am saying is we feel stronger and confident when we are on our own as a tribe and around other South Africans
Look at the opportunities I mentioned in the video, choose one, follow me and I'll keep sharing ways to make money and hopefully that'll open our minds to new possibilities.
Proudly SOUTH 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 ,Proudly SOUTH AFRICANS ,how do I leave a world 🌎 class country and go and crowd people in their countries ,SOUTH AFRICANS love their country so much that they won't trade it for anything ,local is lekker.,
For me as a patriotic South African going to another country is a true definition of being unpatriotic and a sell out. I can travel for vacations to other countries but not to stay there. Love your country, there's no place like home.
lol sometimes people do well in other peoples countries than theirs, look and the Forbes top 10 list you will discover that 75% of them are immigrants or children of immigrants. Doing what's best for you and your future generation is not selling out.
Thabang I see here in the comments there is a lot of misinterpretation of the msg. Anyway I am one of those South African, who has traveled to a couple of other countries, but I love my country 🇿🇦 I don't see myself migrating to another country. I love my people, the environment. There is no place like home
Wonderful discourse and excellent progressive reasoning. Exactly why Africa needs to be led by young leaders, not the dinosaurs you see everywhere in Africa.
But my believe it's explore other countries opportunity in order to grow and see how other competitors perform their everyday production in businesses,, which will give us a mind that we build lagacy business not jus SMME as our government told us .... Let's put Africa first
Let's put South Africa first! Some people are travellers, others stay at home. SA has a good balance of both. We have some of our people all over America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, but they always come back home.
Thank you so much. This is an inspiration to me as I am finally done building systems for my new revolutionary e-commerce and delivery business. Now seeking for Angel Investors
I hope and pray for the realization of a UNITED Africa and economic emancipation in my lifetime 😭❤️🙏🏽 We could be the powerhouse of the world but here we are, the epitome of poor 💔
Never leaving SA. SA citizens tasted prosperity & know the possibilities in SA...we see a future for all the SA races. Other African countries think in a smaller vision....they are still in the war mode to keep the dreams small.
Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt to name but a few are a positive example of how African countries can advance their economies and create better lives for their people. As South Africans we can learn from some of these countries.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi There's nothing that South Africans can learn from these countries that you've mentioned, they are learning from us 💯 But I understand that you have a channel and must therefore keep your comments politically correct, but this idea that there's anything that we South Africans can learn from Kenya and Egypt, for EG, is a myth.
@@zipporahyourexplorer4891 Are you aware that Kenya for example has over 40 banks? This means the country has opened up the economy to the masses and they have made it easier for people to open their own financial institutions. Try opening a bank as a black person in South Africa, you need R100 million. How do the Kenyans make it so accessible is a question we should ask and hopefully learn from them.
I am a proud black south African and had an opportunity to travel the world.much as i love my country so bad but am tempted to have a dual citizenship of either UAE or Asia.
If you leave a country because it has problems just know that you are NOT solving those problems, and the country will not get any better by you leaving, therefore instead of running away hoping to come back when things are better, it's far much better to be part of the solution, to see the change unfold in your eyes, that is the reason I will not leave Africa, I will however visit other countries to learn new developments happening in those countries.
South Africans wouldn't want to leave the culture of demanding everything from the state, so why would they leave for other countries. There is culture of fear and lack of adventure. The give-me-tbis syndrome is well rooted in the mind of the populace.
Yep, our government does try and take care of its people. Maybe the rest of the continent can take notes, especially regarding taking care of its elderly citizens 🤷🏾♂️ but don't get it twisted, there's a reason we're still the most developed in the continent. Our democracy works and our people actually do have opportunities to explore, so why would they leave?
Most of opportunities will disappear soon . Always remember we are in 4th industrial revolution no more physical labours . For example factories retailers bank tellers retailers filling station addence delivery all this jobs will disappear very soon .technology is taking over . I dont c any business opportunities on lane at moment .
We're in Africa, we're always late to the party my friend. And the industries I mentioned in this video are yet to be explored fully in the continent. Potentially, there are still billions to be made in these industries, both in South Africa and the rest of the continent. We can't just worry about the 4IR without preparing ourselves. To a certain degree, the fourth industrial revolution is a continuation of digitization, and all the industries I speak about are digital in their nature. This means they will be a great stepping stone towards introducing oneself to partake in the opportunities the fourth industrial revolution will bring.
Hi Thabang. I have watched your video. It's quite intriguing and informative and eye opening. You are right inthe areas you have listed. However, a huge majority of youths are not focused, and some are demotivated, lack focus, direction by means of poverty, loss of parents, or single parenting and commonly the living life inthe township. All majority think of when they get data, either, songs, movies, only fans type of apps, Netflix and chill. There are not awakened to what you are saying. You will have to push your messages forward. I only stumbled on you. But I was keen to know what you were talking about. Not to take anything from you. We have a lot of work to do to regain the focus of our youth and tap into these things. Thanks
We can only take the horse to the river, we cannot make it drink. I'll keep sharing knowledge for those that are ready to work. There are challenges, yes, but where there's a will there's always a way.
But Nyasha, don't you think that's exactly what he's saying? Opportunities being missed because very few are eager to take them. And I think he clearly acknowledged the fact that there are problems in South Africa. So the problems you're mentioning are the problems he's acknowledged.
I certainly don't see why ppl think of south africans this way.I am frm the congo and lived in south africa for 20 years.If the congo was in the same state like south africa,I will have no reason to go to the african continent.Its just normal for anyone
I was thinking let me not say anything then reading the comments I was inspired. The news and what you see still play a big role in life generally. The west countries don't seem to accepting of Black people in generally so why would I want to stay there. I can travel but end there. Other African countries I travel quite a few in order to stay somewhere you have to have a connection and when you imagining your life you see I live better than i live where I was. I haven't seen anything better than what I have I my Country. Plus the comments the other African countries say about South Africa it absurd for really I social now why would I want to stay in a place when I will have to shrink who I am I don't see a reason to that. I will visit as I always, only Nigeria I don't think I will ever visit until they can be willing to be respectful to us as South Africans. I respect Nigerians they doing a lot of good but they don't respect other people especially the men. South Africans we do visit but we don't move.
Great presentation, inspiring ideas on what's simmering in Mzansi's kitchen. But truth be said u did dodge the question a bit. I think most Mzansaians are not very well acquainted with the dynamics of their continent.
If you understood what he was saying...you can't say the only Africa to me is south Africa...he said..ITS TIME FOR AFRICA TO TRADE AMONGST THEMSELVES.. WHICH MEANS THE ONLY AFRICA TO YOU AND ME IS AFRICA..NOT ONLY SOUTH AFRICA...

I stayed in Dar es Salam for 2 years and honestly its enlightening being around a thriving society where people actually seize opportunities instead of the entitlement mentality here in SA. Being around people who are focused on bettering themselves and not constantly bombarded by politics has taught me to strive since Im back here in SA and sieze opportunities in the entrepreneur space. So travel if u can it will open your world.
Maybe that's what you needed at the time, but some of us are seizing those opportunities because we're focused. You should change your company, not everyone is entitled.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi The Entitlement mentality I'm referring to sir is the national mentality in SA of dependency on government for social grants etc. Also Im referring to the national pandemic of bad governance and corruption which is constantly in the media and has people dissolutioned that solutions to their well being lies in politics. These negative attributes can bring a nation to an un productive mindset....that's all Im saying.
@@bonganisibeko232 No, you need to change your company. There are many South Africans who are focused and starting businesses. Your problem is only focusing on those who are depended on Government and are controlled by politicians. Trust me, the are many South Africans who don't fall under that category. So change your company as suggested.
Clearly my post flew over people's heads. Ohh well. My point is that while there is entrepreneurs starting businesses in this country there isnt a hive of this activity similar to Rwanda or Silicon Valley Tech hubs especially for black startups in SA. Isolated entrepreneurship is an indication that as a country the focus is on other priorities instead of start up business as solution to high unemployment. Travel abit and you will experience what Im talking about.
Why would South Africans move to any African country? Honestly why would you do that to yourself? Some of these African countries got independence waaaaaaaaaaay back in the late 50's and early 60's, what tangibles have they achieved besides replacing white oppressors with black oppressors. What gets to me is that most of these countries' populace has been stripped off their basic human rights and dare I say dignity. Illegal Zimbabweans for instance have more rights and protection in South Africa than they ever will in the land that gave them birth. The only way I would move to any of these countries is if I secured a generational altering business deal and even then I would be on the plane straight back to Mzansi the day the deal expires. As for Nigeria, I doubt I would even bother looking down if a plane I am on flew over Nigerian territory. I am absolutely not curious about Nigeria at all.
Let's not make this a war against ourselves as Africans because ultimately we need to unite so we can be stronger as a continent. I also said I would not move to any other country in the Western hemisphere because of the opportunities that exist here in South Africa and ultimately in the rest of the continent. I love the fact that you're passionate about our country, but how do you think we can unite for a better Africa?
@@ThabangMkhwanazi We first need to establish the basis of our unity. What are our common interests and what is our ultimate goal? So here is what we do: 1. SWOT analysis of the entire content though I doubt the Arabic north would want anything to do with it. 2. Identity opportunities as you have briefly done. 3. Set targets 4. Measure goals and timelines 5. Determine our competitive advantage as a continent 6. Set out budget for this exercise 7. Evaluation Having dove the above exercise then we can decide on the following 1. Medium of communication 2. Set curriculum that is consistent with what we want to achieve based on our study 3. Unified currency 4. Policy agreements 5. Reconfigure borders to suit our borders. 6. Law enforcement 7. Defense force including manufacturing our own arms etc otherwise we will never be able to enforce policy positions.
@@kingc6175 Bro we simply cannot as Africans keep talking about politics as if we are still in the 60's. It's no wonder we remain so stagnant. At some point we have to take responsibility for our lack of progress. It's not that we are incapable, it's just that we are selfish and conceited as a people. If we don't call each other out who will? The moment other races call us out we are very quick to pull out the victim card.
I will never ever... Move from my home South Africa ...my birth was here and my parents are both 100 percent Xhosa .... And i am proud of my home Soyrh Africa i will never go away ... I went to USA but came back ... Things that are happening there are not good for humanity ... Police brutality ... Being scared of the public servants.... Police ...doctors ...lawyers..politicians..entrepreneurs etc.... The racial segregation .... Its worse in USA ...worse than apartheid....
The one message I'd like to pass down to my fellow south Africans is that keep loving and appreciating yo mother country , they call us lazy and say out country is owned by whites even though a lot of African countries are still colonized through white major companies like shell which owns the whole entire Nigeria, during apartheid no outside African would sacrifice they're lives to even come visit south africa but we as south Africans reamaind coz we know the importance of staying where your ancestors lay , South Africans are too strong even if femine hits south africa I garuanteee you we won't leave S.A coz this is our country and still endure through any trials, tell me why don't S.A ppl who sleep with no food for days never think about migrating 2 Dubai, it's coz we know who we are. We never disregard anything that's ours including our mother tounge unlike some native Africans
Traveling is good it teachs u & the values of many things in ur country. Don’t go out there and live in someone’s country forever not my thing at all. Go and come back and take advantage of your country opportunity
No wars no rebels freedom the economy I's good the only problem is our crime I can invest in another African country but would never leave South Africa
@@ThabangMkhwanazi what I picked up is the South African economic identity is changing from getting a life time job to starting ur own and bieng independent. Multiple income streams and side hustles are becoming a norm
the reason we dont leave South Africa to other countries in the world is because other people from other countries are here in south africa,almost every country in the whole world have so many people running to our country for a better life which in reality is there.examples,indians,chinese,americans,germans,British,nigerians,eithopians,zimbabweans,mozambicans,somalians,pakistanians are all here looking for a better life.
Personally I think this question many confuse it as you are thinking from an employee perspective. Moving or travelling to other countries does not imply you should be an employ. There are many business opportunities that can make you money in other countries. For example Drip and Bathu are not in Africa but have crossed to the other side. How can we support Africans when you don't recognise your own Africans? Charity begins at home. Don't limit yourself to SA only.
This kind of show bro T would get us Africans to understand the chances we have to be great in the world trust me.because so many Africans are just lost and that makes the West to control us.But let's keep talking like this and show the advantage of us working together in Africa one day many will understand. Tnx much sir. One day I will give you some thought or some stuff that I know to add to your good work my sir.Tnx much
@@ThabangMkhwanazi you're welcome my champ. Did you notice that I removed my 2 first comments bro T.I wasn't supposed to do that as I didn't listen to the show. So I did listen and that's a great show I even shared the link with 2 of my friends to watch as well.because we talk about this kind of stuff me and them .one works at a radio so we try where we can to share with our black brother and sister's to open eye's Once more sorry my champ for writing thing's that did match with this great show🙏🙋♂️🙏💥💥👊
It is indeed, I was focusing on the digital economy, so to speak, because there are still a lot of opportunities there on the continent. Africa and farming are synonymous with each other, we need to produce more.
Not true, many south Africans in Zambia , Botswana , Namibia and also mauritius.south Africans also move to America ,Canada , Australia and new Zealand.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi thays what they chose to do. A lot of South Africans moved to Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc escaping the worsening economy and crime rate.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 Well that is not a down grade. Thanks to your people who lead crime in SA, I wonder why there are not millions of south Africans in the zimbo land but the opposite cant be said.
Although I understand the sentiment of "home", we must be careful not to contradict ourselves like this gentleman. How does one trade with a neighbour he does not know? Who do you think would be in a better position to start an intercontinental business, one with lived experience of his extended home or one who has only been confined to a portion of it?? Personally I don't subscribe to limitations given to us by people who are not of this land. When we say we are proud "South Africans", what are we being proud of? Is it not pride in an identity which was not created for our benefit but for our subjugation. Is it not pride in an identity that continues to cause divisions among us, impeding us from doing business together? The Bantu tribe was a small group in modern-day Cameroon some millenia ago, but through our nomadic conquests and migration, we found ourselves all over "Subsaharan Africa". So I think we should lift the mental limits left by our oppressors and start seeing ourselves as Africans first and not be held back by lines drawn at a Conference in Berlin, where no single african was invited.
How do I take care of my neighbor's affairs while I am unable to take care of my own bedroom? How do I travel the continent and create businesses while incapable of growing one in my own backyard? Would you trust a doctor who administers untested medicine? If charity must begin at home then I must solve my own problems first before I seek to solve someone else's. I stand by my words, I want to explore every opportunity in my country first, then the rest of Africa and eventually the world. One crawls before they can walk or run.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi There is a sense in which what you say is true, I respect your choice, but I have to agree with AfroNaut, the risk is that one may box themselves in. Hear me out. In almost every country in the world it is disproportionately the foreign nationals, immigrants, that are more entrepreneurial, who establish businesses and who happen to spot opportunities better than the locals despite being more economically disadvantaged. Perspective acquired from exposure is what allows them to do this. Many of these people have never owned or established businesses in their own countries of origin so I disagree with you in a sense. Some come with nothing and yet they prevail. Sometimes you to start elsewhere to overcome the limitations you have back home and recognise that as a foreigner even in any African country you have a certain privilege or advantage that you might not have back at home. I fear that, inadvertently, you may unwittingly reinforced a very South African perspective that is quite limiting, I can guarantee you that budding white South Africans have a very different mindset.
@@rigbyrigbone5407 I hear your perspective, the key to my suggestion is that you can start with nothing and build your way up. For example, you can use your phone to create content, grow a following on RUclips, get monetized. Now you can have access to sponsors, money comes in from the RUclips partner program, sponsors and now you can build your own product or sell your services. After some time you've made enough money to invest in a farming project or something along those lines. This is just one example. I don't have to move anywhere for that to happen. It's about recognizing what you can do where you are with what you have. There are other examples I'll create content on to help people get started and grow.
South Africa is a term given to the region, our pride doesn't come from that name, it comes from our cultures and our roots in this region. That is our identity. Also what rubbish is that? Bantu a small tribe in Cameroon in year 1000 AD? Who taught you that lie?
A company like Amazon coming to South Africa shows how much we lack in development, once they have solid bases here, it'll be hard to enter the market. Competition will be rife.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi Yea, that is true, however since these are big companies with billions in their portfolios entering the market once they've set will be tough like you said their companies are already matured, lots of jobs & opportunities will be created yes but in the long run will it allow for new companies to form or just be a tumor like the oil companies in Nigeria, or lead to what you said about more consumption and less production... I'm happy to see the country being put on the map but I feel like most of the youth here plays around a bit too much, as for me I'm into e-banking which is also one of the leading Industry in the continent. I do hope this will serve as a productive call.
@@jaguarkeke we need to prepare. Those of us that have some knowledge need to execute. Timing is really important, we need to try and educate each other and take advantage of these opportunities. E-banking you said, what is it about?
I think it’s simple most of them don’t want much & are not people that wants different experiences in life. But it’s ok as long as u are fine with what u have good 👍 😊
I'm Mozambican although my ancestors were South Africans. I do recognize that South Africa is the bigest economy in the region but I'm woried because I notice that since the Apartheid era until nowadays the rich people in SA are whites and the blacks ( I have many families in South Africa) still live outside the big cities and run no relevant or small business. In Mozambique many invensters are white South Africans and I ask why black South Africans never show up and the answer is the same, they think the neighbors are very poor and have nothing to with them. My brothers sincerely, Africans are so close now that I think in the next 20 years if our south Africans brothers don't change their mindsets are going to be the poorest people in Southern Africa.
I doubt that we will be the poorest in the region or even on the continent anytime soon. I think the perception that only white people are rich in South Africa is false. Granted, our white counterparts, even though they are the minority, they still have an economic advantage over black people given their historical economic advantages. But if you're on the ground, there are a lot of great black owned businesses that are on the rise. We've been free for only 28 years as black people in this country, we're still young in this game, but the moves that we've made are great when compared to some democracies on the continent. But I know that South Africans need to open their eyes to continental opportunities because we can accomplish way more as a united Africa than as individual countries. I state all those opportunities on the video. I think we need to educate each other about our different countries, and to explore, but to suggest South African black people will be the poorest on the region is far fetched really.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi You are right Democracy came later in SA, but I think black South Africans are read to invest or seek for opportunities in other continents even america and Europe as Nigerians, Ganians and Kenians( specially Kenians are taking over the world) . South Africans still believe that living in isolation can go beyond, guys even Here in Mozambique ( a poor country) is full of Nigerians, Burundeses, Rwandans and all people of Great Lakes. Dare to come and visit me in Maputo one day you will understand what I mean. These guys are getting rich trough our countries opportunities and I think we should learn from them
@@gangomane840 I will come to Mozambique and I will visit many if not all our African countries because I believe in African unity. But there are opportunities right here in South Africa that have not even been explored yet. Maybe I'll come to Mozambique to establish a branch of a business that's already working here in the near future. The point is, we don't need to leave the continent to massively succeed. Mozambique has its challenges, but it has its opportunities too. That's the case across all the continent.
Actually many investors in Mozambique are public investments. I know those companies. Wyte South Africans are the western missionaries, their source of investments is equally as the same western investment in your country hence I dont believe in this wyte South African thing. You are basically Asking black South Africans to compete with the west, something that not only your generations failed but your ancestors as well. Black South Africans have achieved more than all Africans in a short space of time, instead of been proud of us, ofcorse you look for something else as if your own people have done better.
@@gangomane840 MTN which is the biggest mobile company in Africa is operating in more than 18 companies in Africa, that is just an example. Mozambique gained independent before us, please name me one big company your people built which is traded across the continent
But South Africa is not by far the same as Zimbabweans provided that we remove all the European investors because what's sustaining our country is the European investors, then how do you investor in South Africa. Because whatever we investors in goes outside of the country.
We have white people of European descent who are South African. Our economic climate is conducive for investors. Why would you want to remove any investors?
But if w keep the current president w wll b forced to move out as many skilled workers r doing lately the more they leave the more south africa go down nd the more ramaphosa gets rich
We give these politicians too much credit. It starts with us, the masses, what are we doing at an individual level? Governments are messing up all over the world, depending on them is a waste of time.
There are so many south Africans in other African countries, is that when we go to other countries it's always work related, expanding company's branches, we don't just go for job hunting and corruption, that's why is unrecognisable especially by people who don't proper research
I understand global business and it's OK, however there should be African owned companies that's leading businesses throughout the continent. If there are more multinationals within Africa than African companies then we will be in an unfair position business wise and money wise. Support black owned. In SA, Rands in Black Hands -Dr. Asad
Facts. But sometimes we have to get those Rands from multinationals as capital, then establish those black owned businesses. I'm working on something in the online education space, but it'll probably take 10 years to bear fruit. So we start where we are with what we have, and we play the long term game.
I feel that those that are leaving SA because of political turmoil or any other related problems are cowards, imagine if those who fought for our freedom have opted to leave SA? where would we be now?
The richest Black man in the world, Aliko Dangote, lives & makes his wealth in Nigeria. From there he has been expanding his businesses to other African countries. Yes, Africa is still rich but Africans are the ones who make the continent poor for ourselves.
Africa has so many problems and with many problems you need solutions which creates opportunities. The problem is Africans don't want to build but want something that is already being built.. I for one will never leave SA when SAns are hungry and unemployed but the land is empty and soil fertile . SA is capable to feed SAns!!
We really need to produce more than we consume, there are opportunities here in SA and indeed on the continent. I love your attitude 🤞🏽
@@ThabangMkhwanazi Sorry but don't bank on the American and European e-commerce and podcasts. They only accept people who will do their bidding and agree with their talking points ONLY, nothing at all that will lift up Africa. If Africa wants to succeed they need their OWN free market, not mix in with European as the IMF banks will take all of your money. That's the reason why Africa struggles. Banks hold all the African money in Europe.
@@suezcontours6653 if they use us, we can use them too. That's why I mention the need for a united Africa in the video, we're much stronger together than as individual countries. Look at the European Union (EU) for an example.
South African do move. My mother is one of them. She moved to Malawi.
Only white SAns leave SA to go and work in other african countries. They have jobs especially in mining and securiy in others country. They were plenty in vodacom in my country. And they arr still plenty in the mining and securoty field. I always asked myseld why these SA companies accross africa never hire bkack SAns but only white SAns.
White SAns are also the only ones that we see in touristm in other african countries. I saw them in Morocco. Tunisia. Tanzania, Kenya, Egypt, Senegal. But that is not.only black SAns , other africans also usually dont visit other african countries.I also met them outside of Africa( whites). Still on tourism. Met them in Australia, Europe, Asia, South america and north america but never black SAns.. Where do black SAns travel for leisure out of SA?
I am South African living in Canada ( by marriage) and there is no place like Mzansi. ❤🇿🇦❤🇿🇦❤🇿🇦
Home is where the heart is🇿🇦💕
Me too I’m in Alberta no place like Mzansi❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I love my country South Africa but the crime in South Africa is too high more than other countries.
Exactly ! I felt the same. To my surprise Europeans also feel the same. We have a very relaxed environment and receptive people. Example, hotels in Europe and America don’t offer what SA offers as far as food is concerned. People are stressed in the streets of Europe. We laugh, chat even in trains.South Africans are resilient even in difficult conditions. South Africans share anything, there’s still humanity. The list is long. We still have people in the whole Africa.
More than SA, I will never forget Nigeria.Nigerians in their country are very good, trust me, they are very warm. Don’t judge Nigeria on migrants. Those people don’t give the right picture of Nigeria. I love Nigeria, as a country and its real people. I can write a book about Nigeria, very good and warm people.
@@nosiphosobekwa9316 wow, this is eye opening🙌🏾
proudly South African and I dont see myself leaving Mzansi for any other country in the world. South Africa is my home and I will die in the borders of SA
All investors are whites ,in south Africa, your cheating yourselves, in east Africa especially Kenya ,90 percent wealthy owned by locals blacks..
You'll die in mzansi & we shall burst u in uganda 🤣🤣🤣

Low life

Smart move. Make those Dollars, come back home and cash them in as Rands and enjoy the fruits of your labor 😉🇿🇦
thats South African spirit and not Nigerian spirit of running away from home for good and fight to stay in other peoples countries behaving homeless😅
For me as a a proud South African 🇿🇦. Traveling to other countries is something I want to do just for me to see how other people survive in other countries cause I I do believe Traveling helps you learn and expand your mind. But to be honest SA is the best for me and our country has so much potential and am seeing some people in our country who are starting small business and making money online. This makes me get more excited about how country will be like in years to come💙🇿🇦.
Proudly South African 🇿🇦
I agree, traveling does expand one's mind and we get to learn about other cultures and people. Traveling for fun is great, but there's just something about SA🇿🇦🙆🏽♂️
For sure South Africans can't be compared to SADC counterparts. Only south Africans involved in big projects with good salaries can live in Mozambique. Mozambique is good for a holiday specially Reveillon ( end of the year) in Ponta Douro or other beautiful Beaches it's a good experience. Since 2016 our economy dropped down and life is tough here , I was still young when my family moved definitely to South Africa and I refused to leave this country the life was good for all who went to school but now I'm struggling to survive. I think we should stay and figt in our countries instead of jumping the fence to South Africa although my parents argued that we had South Africans ancestors
You're so wise .do that and your eyes will be wide open and you will be proud of yourself. I travel a lot and even your way of thinking will change
Well done. So pleased there are more people like me who believe SA could be the next economical hub of the world. I would to spend some time with you one day just to learn more of your philosophy.
Kind regards
Louise CPT.
God willing, we will meet.
Yes to traveling-No to immigration for me. In addition to opportunities in SA, it’s easier to thrive in your birth country than a foreign one. We can open businesses and bank accounts, have access to business loans, bond for our homes etc…
Our culture is also so amazing too, ppl are generally happy, friendly and easy going. I just love SA and Cape Town👌
I never thought about the hassle of opening a bank account on another country🙆🏽♂️ you make great points 🙏🏽
@@ThabangMkhwanazi it’s rough out there 🥹 thanks for the eye opening content.
@@kuselwaleona6483 my pleasure. And thank you for taking the time to engage 🙏🏽
You make sense mama
It’s very easy to open a bank account in another country. Also all the successful foreign nationals in SA should be a message to you that immigrants possess a different perspective that also allows for them to see different opportunities for success. Sociological studies confirm this worldwide and call this dynamic “migrant advantage”
I love my country to bits, i would travel BUT I WILL NEVER MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
Much respect to South Africans! I’ve never come across them anywhere in the west. I heard that there’s a tiny number of them working in the oilfields of Alberta and they never stay too long. I guess if you guys never ran away during the brutality of apartheid why would you leave your country now. You have great food, lovely music, amazing culture and beautiful women. Leaving for the west will be a betrayal for all you have suffered. The memories is Steve Biko, Mandela, Watarada and all your brave heroes must not be disrespected by running away. I hope Nigerians will learn from you guys. So much potential lost and so much cowardice in the face of their fellow compatriots. Nigerians blame power cuts for them leaving for the west. Pathetic lots 😅
Well, someone just had to tell the truth! It makes no sense to suddenly feel so pressured to leave my country because of problems, when the word problem is what I was born into in 1984. Surely it can't rattle me now! Thank you James.
This vlogger made a well-reasoned content. And you also noted another obvious reason "...if you guys never ran away during the brutality of apartheid why would you leave your country now" and I'd add a ? at the end for you.
But why not leave your comment just positive instead of dragging in Nigerians to thrash and call them Pathetic lots?
SAns have good reasons, as enunciated by the vlogger to not leave their country, and I wouldn't leave if I were a SAn, but does that mean that other nationals should do same?
Chinese, Indians, Arabs are all over the world hustling, while America and Europe are also all over the world destabilizing nations and plundering their resources.
SA businesses are in Nigeria. As a Nigerian who left Nigeria and Africa to school, learn and equip myself, I am planning to extend my business to Africa, starting with Nigeria, SA and Kenya and this vlog has added to my notes on SA. So leaving Nigeria makes me pathetic Mr James Jon?
My compatriots back home in Nigeria are not doing as badly as people like you want to paint them;
1. Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa and built by black people,
2. Nigeria leads Africa in tech, banking services, entertainment, and many more and competes with the best in the world.
3. Nigeria is both self-sufficient in auto manufacture and even exports to other African country; from everyday cars to luxury cars and coaches.
4. Nigeria's Military Industrial Complex is self-sufficient and builds military hardware that covers land, sea and air defense and offensive needs which even European countries patronize alongside AU, UN and other African countries.
5. With the completions of the Dangote Refinery and Fertilizer companies, biggest in Africa and ranking globally, together with the planned massive push into Agriculture after taking out the West-sponsored destabilization groups, Nigeria's GDP will hit a $Trillion within 10 - 15 years.
Can you boldly tell me, James Jon, where you are from and what you are doing that Nigerians can learn from?
@@isoryte201 Keep deluding yourself. A country where 70% of its people leave below 1 dollar a day. Stop romanticizing the country it is nothing but a shit hole. 50,000 women die in child birth a year in nigeria. that is the equivalent of 500 Boeing 757 crashing with pregnant women alone and you tell me that is a great nation. nigerian resources is a cash cow for its corrupt and immoral elite. The worst part of it is that the oppressed population have no intuition to analyze their own situation and seek for a solution. The mentality of the nigerian is; "yes I am oppressed but I am waiting for my own chance to become rich and oppress other less fortunate people". Which country in the world would criminals invade a school and cart away 500 girls and keep raping them day in day out. criminal gangs use nigerian banks to transact ransom money from kidnap victims. nigerian banks are a conduit to launder corrupt and stolen money from the treasury to foreign offshore accounts. Dont get me started with the Police
@@jamesjon1500 The lies and venom of a man who's not proud of his country to mention it nor proud of himself.
For every figure you contrived in your head and dropped here against Nigeria, the stats show actual figures 10 times less. It'd help you to get some education to know how to read and get facts, and carrying so much anger is not healthy.
If you are looking for 50,000 deaths records in a year, you can check gun deaths in the US as well as Opioid OD just to mention a few.
And in same US, Nigerians are the doing better than any other ethnic group, including Americans, Chinese, Indians, Koreans, you name them. Canada will even be by a bigger margin, if they carry out such research.
If after surviving all the attacks and chaos the West has thrown at Nigeria , Nigeria still remains this strong, we cannot wait for Nigeria's next chapters and they are looking very promising - the emergence of a black African superpower. You're welcome
@@isoryte201 Nigeria has nothing to be proud of. No social welfare for poor and desperate people. No emergency services for health or crime or any other desperate situation. Every single amenity or policy that has made human life liveable and dignified is lacking in your horrible hell hole. The most coveted city in the country and so called centre of excellence has been adjudged the worst city in the world. I live in the north of the country and kidnapped people are still in captivity a year after, while their abductors still communicate with the families of their victims negotiating ransom. your president is the poster boy of Nigerias dysfunction. running to London to treat ear infection. You should be ashamed of yourself glorifying mediocrity. Nigeria deserves no respect in the comity of nations. it should be shunned and ridiculed to high heaven. Stupid!
I have met many South Africans who have never even been to my home country Lesotho which is crazy cause Lesotho is located inside South Africa. I spent 45 yrs in America, living and working mainly in Los Angeles and the Entertainment industry and 3 yrs in Europe and traveling is a very great education and l would not have changed those experiances for the world. I now luve in both Lesotho and South Africa and will be using my contacts in Los Angeles and Hollywood to help build up my country and South Africa. I am working on getting my US celebrity black friends in Ameica to market themselves here cause we have over a billion black people in Africa as opposed to only 40 million in America
Africa has enough opportunities for all Africans, if we can learn to unite and work together.

Also basic Human rights are not being prioritized in other African countries
Africa as a whole is much better than it used to be, look at counties loke Rwanda and the strides they have made. Human rights can be violated anywhere, even in western countries.
Africa have no time for humanity, it's not prioritized and it's an obligation to necessity and is very limited. The only part of Africa that has humanity is SA, and it is so much abused by people coming from countries who have no time for humanity. SA is carrying loads of heavy bags of other African problems, and forgot to take care of its own people and country. SA people and government are depressed by other countries and other African countries endless moaning and neediness, and they're drowning. SA are working disrespectful border jumpers day and night and they don't get time for break. SA is loosing much money by this nonsense.
@@rainbowtrust6347 I think we need not forget how we attained our democracy. It was an African fight, to a large extent. Now we need to find ways to curb illegal immigration in the country, but allow all legally qualifying individuals to trade in the country. Let's not forget that what goes around comes around, we may need our African brothers and sisters one day. Especially now with rumors of terrorists trying to attack our country. A united Africa is more powerful than a divided one.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi my brother I understand you very well. The only thing I'm against is the abuse of our democracy by others. I think we have done more than enough humanity to the point that our nation is forgotten. Everyone including myself feels like our struggle wasn't for us, to start helping everyone come out from the darkness days of the previous NP government. It just serves anyone coming in from day one. People who have it all, all along and decided to do whatever they thought was best for them. All of them from over 65 years down to 42 years of their freedom. SAns didn't know what freedom is like, and didn't even go or flood to those countries see how it's like to be free. But as soon as we have it here, and trying to get things together, there and there we were joined by all of them, before the chance of getting the lands, what they have for a long time in their countries. And didn't have even a chance to build or finish building our homes and make money for ourselves for various purposes like creating businesses. Mhhh umm, they are all massively come down to grab whatever they lay hands on, to the point of becoming cheaper labours so much that we are blocked our way from employment. And of course no employee will say no to anyone who believes slavery. And SA limitations of living keep on decreasing every day. Not because they wanted much more salary, because they were many things the wages are supposed to meet their demands eg bills, schools necessities, food, transportation, house rates and medical assurance. That is when all the hell got loose, when our government didn't see fit for SAns, the beneficiaries to deserve the decent living conditions of earning what they work for. And allow all these so called investors in SA to punish them by denying them employment. So they decided to cut them out and employ the outsiders. And since everyone so called investor coming to SA is already introduced to foreigners already. Especially at this time of Ramaphosa, who's like he has made a deal with the devil. To think that, the only thing good for SAns is to be granted with R350 for the hungriest of the poor people. Instead of at least R3500 earned salary of the those people . People who were always been workers in SA even before this democracy hell for them that is meant for richer to be the millionaires, and the poor to be the poorest and laughing stock of those who just came in and enjoy the sweat of real South Africans. So I can as much as tell you now, I am not convinced and never will I ever be accustom myself to be undermined by the system that I have scars of the history, and my father didn't enjoy jail and my brother never applied to be cut off from his school days in his younger age to help my mother raise us. Me, friends and cousins to endure batons, teargas and rubber bullets and many other died, and all that don't sit well with me, and scratching my head trying to figure out where to start with what. As for listening how good foreigners do, how rich our most currupt president and president who sleeps on matrasses and sofas packed with money. And we people must cheer them THEM nooo, we are hurting because nobody is hearing us. We have nothing, we've became peasants in our own country not by choice but by dumb damn selfish suppressing to SAns democracy. Yes I have nothing to lose what I already lost to grabbers and no need to teach or convince me. Today our country is ragged and crime is 1000 % times worse and poverty on its best while murder has become like a part of our culture, and the country with no limitations to immigration, and no seriousness in justice system, and worse in everything. A country who lost its identity and dignity by allowing foreign criminals to hijack infrastructures, destroying anything they see, touch, as well as hijacking economic resources by force. What kind of democracy is that. From the whole world, It happens only in SA where its people are turning to leave their beautiful homes to where they will just get a peace of mind. Since anyone allowing this country to be filled by non SA citizens, just because your expectations are to have problems to fight for, or to seek another asylum. We must just forget everything because it's like we'll never experience fights over this country, because you won't fight the same way this second time. This country is as good as lost to your favorites foreigners. The only thing you can worry about when this country is run by these mafias, your rich presidents and families, rich people and Europeans will be all gone. And SA peasants will be polishing your foreign bosses and other foreign presidents and ministers snuffers of white powder. Search other countries in southern Africa democratic constitution eg Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia even Zimbabwe etc and maybe you'll realize that SA is a laughing stock in Africa and abroad.
@@rainbowtrust6347 you raise valid concerns my brother. Immigration needs to be checked, borders need to be properly guarded and only legal immigrants must be allowed into the country. But we also need to look at what we can do as the people to provide for ourselves. We cannot depend on the government precisely because they are failing us. What can we, the citizens do to make our lives better? Any suggestions?
Thank you for reminding us of the possibilities. Awesome video.
My pleasure, thank you for the engagement 🙏🏽
I want to stay in South Africa and help make it a better place 🇿🇦❤
🇿🇦 We have no other option ✊🏾🇿🇦
When I look at Africa or Nigeria, I used to see so many problems that was inundating. Now I’m at a place where I have realised that my perception was the problem. Where there are problems, there are opportunities to proffer solutions and make money as a byproduct. Developing economies have so much potential for the locals to tap into before the multinationals swoop in. I’m not in Nigeria at the moment but where I’m has given me so much opportunity to learn. The next stage is to model it in my beloved Nigeria. Education is never complete without travelling. Seeing a place on RUclips or via traditional media even movies is no where as accurate as physically experiencing it in person. There is no place like Nigeria; I love and hate it😂 To each his own. Peace!
I think as Africans we believe the propaganda by the West that Africa is diseased and poor, that there are no opportunities. While they come here and loot resources that have always been here but we've been blind to them. All of Africa has potential, especially if one looks deeply in their own backyard. We're more alike than we are different, with similar problems and opportunities. We just need people who'll stop complaining for a minute and start doing.
To each his own my brother
Stop lying, you want nothing to do with Nigeria
@@thabangtladi8057 you delusion is epic. How can you tell my state of my mind? You can’t even credibly infer it from my comment oh child of hate.
Born and raised in Soweto, later lived in Johannesburg. Now living in Durban.
What I've learnt is that when you repent and change your attitude, your situation changes.
I don't agree that there are a lot of problems in South Africa. There are a lot of solutions, changing our attitude is important. Plenty of opportunities.
I appreciate the blessing God gave to me, I appreciate my surroundings. I'm grateful to be a South African. I thank God. No need to move to any other African country.
Well said 🙌🏾

Yeah the opportunities in Africa are waaay bigger. The west can give you really high salaries but The opportunity to build amazing companies for your self is drawing me back to Africa. So many problems to solve means lots of opportunity.
I'm a Zimbabwean living in NY, and working in the Fintech sector.
I've recently started the process of moving back home but will live between southern africa and new york for the forseeable future.
Come back, use the skills you have learnt, solve problems you see in your nation and neighboring nations and build legacy businesses that will outlive you. Africa now is your time!
@@ThabangMkhwanazi The Machine learning market for example, is about 20billion globally now. Its projected to grow to $209 billion within the next 7 years. That is a MASSIVE opportunity for us.
We should be pushing for these types of courses to be taught in school.
Yet millions of them are coming to south Africa why would I go to their countries they not giving us that interest of going to their countries I will not
As someone who has travelled to a number of African countries I always see white South Africans. Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda ,Zim, Mozambique etc. Never see black South Africans. Im sure there's a strong black middle class in SA but for some reason they just don't travel to other African countries for holidays. Anyway would encourage people to travel if they have the means. Youll become so open minded and have some out of this world experiences.
Travel definitely, business definitely, work definitely willing to explore. Migrating, not for me for the reasons stated in the video.
You are right. Our fellow black South Africans brothers still think South Africa is the best place to live but that is not true. I believe SA is still the best place for an unemployed person because the government protects the people, but opportunity for black people to have a good life are even scarce
@@gangomane840 that's not true though. There are plenty of opportunities for people here in South Africa. I'm sure you love Mozambique with all its challenges right? Same with most South Africans, we love our country deeply. That's why some people even say hurtful things, it's a defense mechanism, they are trying to protect the country they love so deeply, even with its flaws. South Africa is blessed, our people need to make use of the many opportunities we have here. The thing is, we don't need to move to other countries for opportunities. The people here know that, it may be laziness or sometimes lack of knowledge that cause them not to succeed, but they see and know they can succeed here.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi You are right my friend. 70% of my family are south Africans I know South Africa very well. I never advise any south African to come and live in Mozambique because I know the challenges but what I say is that you need to travel to see what is taking place in the neighborhood countries, whites are not crazy when they approach, you guys think you are the best but when you come to Maputo and see the black people medium living class you will change you mind. Whites are taking all opportunities in SA
@@gangomane840 Most South Africans love to travel, that won't be an issue I think. It's migrating that's hard for us. But I'll definitely come to your country and other countries on the continent. I've heard how beautiful Maputo is from my Mozambiquen friends who have offered to bring me over that side.
If you like suffering move to another African country...so simple it is.🇿🇦
Lol. If you like murder, rape, drugs, carjacking and cash heist stay in South Africa. So simple it is 🇿🇦.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is true. Most south Africans that moved that side are at top positions for SA companies but everytime they can't wait to come back home.
@@lozi4163 yes, home is where the heart is.

That is the will to serve Africa whetever you are rather than run to developed countries for your own good only. Whole heartly support what you said, opportunities sre here let us encourage and support young people to stay home and improve our own evonomy. Continue developing Africa wherever you are.
You have said nothing but the truth🙌🏾
I'm jamaican but I don't think the older leaders will unit Africa the younger generation will older leaders are like old slow computer there mind set is backwards
The younger leaders seem to be affected by the biases and attitudes of the elder leaders too. It's going to be tough uniting Africans, I'm finding that out as I try. We need to reprogram ourselves by actually working together instead of pointing fingers at each other.
Only if we willing to see each other's view and stop being jeleous of each other. I was watching an African American RUclipsr reacting to Nigerian wedding, I left a beautiful comment. I went to an African American reacts about South Africa in RUclips again and in the comments things other African countries say about us is absurd then I ask myself will I be supporting an Nigerian person in RUclips who stay in Nigeria No. The one who stay in South Africa I 100% support their Chanel because of the positive things they say so if it always negative you not going support that.
South Africans are like Zambians when it comes to migration. I think the biggest reason for South Africans not to move or explore other countries is Tribal. South Africans feel confident and comfortable when they approach you as Zulu's, Pedi's, Tswana's etc. Once a South African is singled out they tend to have a difficult time to adapt and they feel vulnerable. That's my assessment.
Tribalism in South Africa really has no impact, well atleast where I'm based. Johannesburg is filled with all kinds of nationalities, yet people co exist well together. I think we don't move because of the strength of our economy. Not that we don't have problems, they are many. But one is still able to start from scratch and build something because economic conditions still allow for it. No wars, no sanctions, we can trade with everyone and are able to self determine in that regard. Even with all the problems, South Africans love their country. All races and all the tribes, we share the love for our country. That's my assessment.
South Africans are not as tribal as other countries. We get along with all groups and intermarry, and most of us speak more than two languages. Even with all the problems we have, we still have a better economy and the highest standards of living compared to some African, Caribbean, middle eastern, and Asian countries. And moreover, we love our home!
@@ThabangMkhwanazi hey guys I didn't say we are Tribalistic NO NO NO. What I am saying is we feel stronger and confident when we are on our own as a tribe and around other South Africans

Why are foreign nationals running away from their own different countries? The answer to that question is in this question.
But my believe it's explore other countries opportunity in order to grow and see how other competitors perform their everyday production in businesses,, which will give us a mind that we build lagacy business not jus SMME as our government told us .... Let's put Africa first

Let's put South Africa first! Some people are travellers, others stay at home. SA has a good balance of both. We have some of our people all over America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, but they always come back home.

Never leaving SA. SA citizens tasted prosperity & know the possibilities in SA...we see a future for all the SA races. Other African countries think in a smaller vision....they are still in the war mode to keep the dreams small.
Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt to name but a few are a positive example of how African countries can advance their economies and create better lives for their people. As South Africans we can learn from some of these countries.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi There's nothing that South Africans can learn from these countries that you've mentioned, they are learning from us 💯
But I understand that you have a channel and must therefore keep your comments politically correct, but this idea that there's anything that we South Africans can learn from Kenya and Egypt, for EG, is a myth.
@@zipporahyourexplorer4891 Are you aware that Kenya for example has over 40 banks? This means the country has opened up the economy to the masses and they have made it easier for people to open their own financial institutions. Try opening a bank as a black person in South Africa, you need R100 million. How do the Kenyans make it so accessible is a question we should ask and hopefully learn from them.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi I'm glad you're seeing the attitudes that represent the generality of most black South Africans. Such as shame.
Research about the war mode that you mention and see who is behind it.
Because South Africa is rich... What's there to run away from... SA has everything bro
No where is poor. Only poor mentality.
True. Selling of products online and selling of information online is the future. Lot of great opportunities there.

If you leave a country because it has problems just know that you are NOT solving those problems, and the country will not get any better by you leaving, therefore instead of running away hoping to come back when things are better, it's far much better to be part of the solution, to see the change unfold in your eyes, that is the reason I will not leave Africa, I will however visit other countries to learn new developments happening in those countries.
South Africans wouldn't want to leave the culture of demanding everything from the state, so why would they leave for other countries. There is culture of fear and lack of adventure. The give-me-tbis syndrome is well rooted in the mind of the populace.
Yep, our government does try and take care of its people. Maybe the rest of the continent can take notes, especially regarding taking care of its elderly citizens 🤷🏾♂️ but don't get it twisted, there's a reason we're still the most developed in the continent. Our democracy works and our people actually do have opportunities to explore, so why would they leave?

Most of opportunities will disappear soon . Always remember we are in 4th industrial revolution no more physical labours . For example factories retailers bank tellers retailers filling station addence delivery all this jobs will disappear very soon .technology is taking over . I dont c any business opportunities on lane at moment .
We're in Africa, we're always late to the party my friend. And the industries I mentioned in this video are yet to be explored fully in the continent. Potentially, there are still billions to be made in these industries, both in South Africa and the rest of the continent. We can't just worry about the 4IR without preparing ourselves. To a certain degree, the fourth industrial revolution is a continuation of digitization, and all the industries I speak about are digital in their nature. This means they will be a great stepping stone towards introducing oneself to partake in the opportunities the fourth industrial revolution will bring.
Hi Thabang. I have watched your video. It's quite intriguing and informative and eye opening. You are right inthe areas you have listed. However, a huge majority of youths are not focused, and some are demotivated, lack focus, direction by means of poverty, loss of parents, or single parenting and commonly the living life inthe township. All majority think of when they get data, either, songs, movies, only fans type of apps, Netflix and chill. There are not awakened to what you are saying. You will have to push your messages forward. I only stumbled on you. But I was keen to know what you were talking about. Not to take anything from you. We have a lot of work to do to regain the focus of our youth and tap into these things. Thanks
We can only take the horse to the river, we cannot make it drink. I'll keep sharing knowledge for those that are ready to work. There are challenges, yes, but where there's a will there's always a way.
The leaders are the major stumbling blocks.
Can't blame people inthis day and age. It will not serve you as much. It's is an age to step in if someone falls.
But Nyasha, don't you think that's exactly what he's saying? Opportunities being missed because very few are eager to take them. And I think he clearly acknowledged the fact that there are problems in South Africa. So the problems you're mentioning are the problems he's acknowledged.
I agree with him. Thanks

@@ThabangMkhwanazi The level of south africa its even to high.If it was even like Namibia or Botswana or Kenya,I wouldn't see any reason to move
I was thinking let me not say anything then reading the comments I was inspired. The news and what you see still play a big role in life generally. The west countries don't seem to accepting of Black people in generally so why would I want to stay there. I can travel but end there. Other African countries I travel quite a few in order to stay somewhere you have to have a connection and when you imagining your life you see I live better than i live where I was. I haven't seen anything better than what I have I my Country. Plus the comments the other African countries say about South Africa it absurd for really I social now why would I want to stay in a place when I will have to shrink who I am I don't see a reason to that. I will visit as I always, only Nigeria I don't think I will ever visit until they can be willing to be respectful to us as South Africans. I respect Nigerians they doing a lot of good but they don't respect other people especially the men. South Africans we do visit but we don't move.
We need to respect each other as Africans 🤞🏽

I stayed in Dar es Salam for 2 years and honestly its enlightening being around a thriving society where people actually seize opportunities instead of the entitlement mentality here in SA. Being around people who are focused on bettering themselves and not constantly bombarded by politics has taught me to strive since Im back here in SA and sieze opportunities in the entrepreneur space. So travel if u can it will open your world.
Maybe that's what you needed at the time, but some of us are seizing those opportunities because we're focused. You should change your company, not everyone is entitled.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi The Entitlement mentality I'm referring to sir is the national mentality in SA of dependency on government for social grants etc. Also Im referring to the national pandemic of bad governance and corruption which is constantly in the media and has people dissolutioned that solutions to their well being lies in politics. These negative attributes can bring a nation to an un productive mindset....that's all Im saying.
@@bonganisibeko232 No, you need to change your company. There are many South Africans who are focused and starting businesses. Your problem is only focusing on those who are depended on Government and are controlled by politicians. Trust me, the are many South Africans who don't fall under that category. So change your company as suggested.
Clearly my post flew over people's heads. Ohh well. My point is that while there is entrepreneurs starting businesses in this country there isnt a hive of this activity similar to Rwanda or Silicon Valley Tech hubs especially for black startups in SA. Isolated entrepreneurship is an indication that as a country the focus is on other priorities instead of start up business as solution to high unemployment. Travel abit and you will experience what Im talking about.
Why would South Africans move to any African country? Honestly why would you do that to yourself? Some of these African countries got independence waaaaaaaaaaay back in the late 50's and early 60's, what tangibles have they achieved besides replacing white oppressors with black oppressors. What gets to me is that most of these countries' populace has been stripped off their basic human rights and dare I say dignity. Illegal Zimbabweans for instance have more rights and protection in South Africa than they ever will in the land that gave them birth.
The only way I would move to any of these countries is if I secured a generational altering business deal and even then I would be on the plane straight back to Mzansi the day the deal expires.
As for Nigeria, I doubt I would even bother looking down if a plane I am on flew over Nigerian territory. I am absolutely not curious about Nigeria at all.
Let's not make this a war against ourselves as Africans because ultimately we need to unite so we can be stronger as a continent. I also said I would not move to any other country in the Western hemisphere because of the opportunities that exist here in South Africa and ultimately in the rest of the continent. I love the fact that you're passionate about our country, but how do you think we can unite for a better Africa?
@@ThabangMkhwanazi We first need to establish the basis of our unity. What are our common interests and what is our ultimate goal? So here is what we do:
1. SWOT analysis of the entire content though I doubt the Arabic north would want anything to do with it.
2. Identity opportunities as you have briefly done.
3. Set targets
4. Measure goals and timelines
5. Determine our competitive advantage as a continent
6. Set out budget for this exercise
7. Evaluation
Having dove the above exercise then we can decide on the following
1. Medium of communication
2. Set curriculum that is consistent with what we want to achieve based on our study
3. Unified currency
4. Policy agreements
5. Reconfigure borders to suit our borders.
6. Law enforcement
7. Defense force including manufacturing our own arms etc otherwise we will never be able to enforce policy positions.

The one message I'd like to pass down to my fellow south Africans is that keep loving and appreciating yo mother country , they call us lazy and say out country is owned by whites even though a lot of African countries are still colonized through white major companies like shell which owns the whole entire Nigeria, during apartheid no outside African would sacrifice they're lives to even come visit south africa but we as south Africans reamaind coz we know the importance of staying where your ancestors lay , South Africans are too strong even if femine hits south africa I garuanteee you we won't leave S.A coz this is our country and still endure through any trials, tell me why don't S.A ppl who sleep with no food for days never think about migrating 2 Dubai, it's coz we know who we are. We never disregard anything that's ours including our mother tounge unlike some native Africans
Point taken, South Africans are resilient 🇿🇦✊🏾
Traveling is good it teachs u & the values of many things in ur country. Don’t go out there and live in someone’s country forever not my thing at all. Go and come back and take advantage of your country opportunity
No wars no rebels freedom the economy I's good the only problem is our crime I can invest in another African country but would never leave South Africa
Besides moving to another country, Shar else did you pick up from the video?
@@ThabangMkhwanazi what I picked up is the South African economic identity is changing from getting a life time job to starting ur own and bieng independent. Multiple income streams and side hustles are becoming a norm
@@sihlemasondo2898 you're in the right channel, those are my topics👍🏾
the reason we dont leave South Africa to other countries in the world is because other people from other countries are here in south africa,almost every country in the whole world have so many people running to our country for a better life which in reality is there.examples,indians,chinese,americans,germans,British,nigerians,eithopians,zimbabweans,mozambicans,somalians,pakistanians are all here looking for a better life.
Why should they go to countries whos citizens are running away from?
Personally I think this question many confuse it as you are thinking from an employee perspective.
Moving or travelling to other countries does not imply you should be an employ. There are many business opportunities that can make you money in other countries.
For example Drip and Bathu are not in Africa but have crossed to the other side. How can we support Africans when you don't recognise your own Africans? Charity begins at home. Don't limit yourself to SA only.
The heading is misleading
Very positive speech 👍
Feedback much appreciated 🙏🏽
This kind of show bro T would get us Africans to understand the chances we have to be great in the world trust me.because so many Africans are just lost and that makes the West to control us.But let's keep talking like this and show the advantage of us working together in Africa one day many will understand. Tnx much sir. One day I will give you some thought or some stuff that I know to add to your good work my sir.Tnx much
Thank you 🙏🏽
@@ThabangMkhwanazi you're welcome my champ. Did you notice that I removed my 2 first comments bro T.I wasn't supposed to do that as I didn't listen to the show. So I did listen and that's a great show I even shared the link with 2 of my friends to watch as well.because we talk about this kind of stuff me and them .one works at a radio so we try where we can to share with our black brother and sister's to open eye's
Once more sorry my champ for writing thing's that did match with this great show🙏🙋♂️🙏💥💥👊
Things that didn't match I meant

@@ThabangMkhwanazi thank you very much br T
Agriculture is a good venture.
It is indeed, I was focusing on the digital economy, so to speak, because there are still a lot of opportunities there on the continent. Africa and farming are synonymous with each other, we need to produce more.
i would love to travel around the world as much as i can, but move permanently to another country? hell to the power no, Mzansi forever
Not true, many south Africans in Zambia , Botswana , Namibia and also mauritius.south Africans also move to America ,Canada , Australia and new Zealand.
That's good for them if that's what they chose for themselves.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi thays what they chose to do. A lot of South Africans moved to Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc escaping the worsening economy and crime rate.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 it makes sense to go to a thriving economy or a first world country. There's nothing wrong there.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 Well that is not a down grade. Thanks to your people who lead crime in SA, I wonder why there are not millions of south Africans in the zimbo land but the opposite cant be said.
Why can’t South Africans make their own e-commerce
We do. That's why other big companies are coming like Amazon, they see the potential.
Let people improve in their country
Although I understand the sentiment of "home", we must be careful not to contradict ourselves like this gentleman. How does one trade with a neighbour he does not know? Who do you think would be in a better position to start an intercontinental business, one with lived experience of his extended home or one who has only been confined to a portion of it?? Personally I don't subscribe to limitations given to us by people who are not of this land. When we say we are proud "South Africans", what are we being proud of? Is it not pride in an identity which was not created for our benefit but for our subjugation. Is it not pride in an identity that continues to cause divisions among us, impeding us from doing business together? The Bantu tribe was a small group in modern-day Cameroon some millenia ago, but through our nomadic conquests and migration, we found ourselves all over "Subsaharan Africa". So I think we should lift the mental limits left by our oppressors and start seeing ourselves as Africans first and not be held back by lines drawn at a Conference in Berlin, where no single african was invited.
Hate to be that guy but...the Bantu originated in East Africa.😬
How do I take care of my neighbor's affairs while I am unable to take care of my own bedroom? How do I travel the continent and create businesses while incapable of growing one in my own backyard? Would you trust a doctor who administers untested medicine? If charity must begin at home then I must solve my own problems first before I seek to solve someone else's. I stand by my words, I want to explore every opportunity in my country first, then the rest of Africa and eventually the world. One crawls before they can walk or run.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi There is a sense in which what you say is true, I respect your choice, but I have to agree with AfroNaut, the risk is that one may box themselves in. Hear me out. In almost every country in the world it is disproportionately the foreign nationals, immigrants, that are more entrepreneurial, who establish businesses and who happen to spot opportunities better than the locals despite being more economically disadvantaged. Perspective acquired from exposure is what allows them to do this. Many of these people have never owned or established businesses in their own countries of origin so I disagree with you in a sense. Some come with nothing and yet they prevail. Sometimes you to start elsewhere to overcome the limitations you have back home and recognise that as a foreigner even in any African country you have a certain privilege or advantage that you might not have back at home. I fear that, inadvertently, you may unwittingly reinforced a very South African perspective that is quite limiting, I can guarantee you that budding white South Africans have a very different mindset.
@@rigbyrigbone5407 I hear your perspective, the key to my suggestion is that you can start with nothing and build your way up. For example, you can use your phone to create content, grow a following on RUclips, get monetized. Now you can have access to sponsors, money comes in from the RUclips partner program, sponsors and now you can build your own product or sell your services. After some time you've made enough money to invest in a farming project or something along those lines. This is just one example. I don't have to move anywhere for that to happen. It's about recognizing what you can do where you are with what you have. There are other examples I'll create content on to help people get started and grow.
South Africa is a term given to the region, our pride doesn't come from that name, it comes from our cultures and our roots in this region. That is our identity. Also what rubbish is that? Bantu a small tribe in Cameroon in year 1000 AD? Who taught you that lie?
We love our country.
A company like Amazon coming to South Africa shows how much we lack in development, once they have solid bases here, it'll be hard to enter the market. Competition will be rife.
Competition for who? It depends on what you know and how you use what you know. Some of us will make money.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi Yea, that is true, however since these are big companies with billions in their portfolios entering the market once they've set will be tough like you said their companies are already matured, lots of jobs & opportunities will be created yes but in the long run will it allow for new companies to form or just be a tumor like the oil companies in Nigeria, or lead to what you said about more consumption and less production... I'm happy to see the country being put on the map but I feel like most of the youth here plays around a bit too much, as for me I'm into e-banking which is also one of the leading Industry in the continent. I do hope this will serve as a productive call.
@@jaguarkeke we need to prepare. Those of us that have some knowledge need to execute. Timing is really important, we need to try and educate each other and take advantage of these opportunities. E-banking you said, what is it about?
Great idea 💡 👍
🙏🏽
I think it’s simple most of them don’t want much & are not people that wants different experiences in life. But it’s ok as long as u are fine with what u have good 👍 😊
I will travel not as for moving I don’t think I can
Similar to Botswana, whereas in Botswana its 90% of the population that doesn't want to move outside the country.
If it works for you, it works for you. Home is home.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi also it's never greener on the other side. U water your own garden.
@@innocentgoitseone3715 I couldn't agree more, you're spot on 🙌🏾
I'm Mozambican although my ancestors were South Africans. I do recognize that South Africa is the bigest economy in the region but I'm woried because I notice that since the Apartheid era until nowadays the rich people in SA are whites and the blacks ( I have many families in South Africa) still live outside the big cities and run no relevant or small business. In Mozambique many invensters are white South Africans and I ask why black South Africans never show up and the answer is the same, they think the neighbors are very poor and have nothing to with them. My brothers sincerely, Africans are so close now that I think in the next 20 years if our south Africans brothers don't change their mindsets are going to be the poorest people in Southern Africa.
I doubt that we will be the poorest in the region or even on the continent anytime soon. I think the perception that only white people are rich in South Africa is false. Granted, our white counterparts, even though they are the minority, they still have an economic advantage over black people given their historical economic advantages. But if you're on the ground, there are a lot of great black owned businesses that are on the rise. We've been free for only 28 years as black people in this country, we're still young in this game, but the moves that we've made are great when compared to some democracies on the continent. But I know that South Africans need to open their eyes to continental opportunities because we can accomplish way more as a united Africa than as individual countries. I state all those opportunities on the video. I think we need to educate each other about our different countries, and to explore, but to suggest South African black people will be the poorest on the region is far fetched really.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi You are right Democracy came later in SA, but I think black South Africans are read to invest or seek for opportunities in other continents even america and Europe as Nigerians, Ganians and Kenians( specially Kenians are taking over the world) . South Africans still believe that living in isolation can go beyond, guys even Here in Mozambique ( a poor country) is full of Nigerians, Burundeses, Rwandans and all people of Great Lakes. Dare to come and visit me in Maputo one day you will understand what I mean. These guys are getting rich trough our countries opportunities and I think we should learn from them
@@gangomane840 I will come to Mozambique and I will visit many if not all our African countries because I believe in African unity. But there are opportunities right here in South Africa that have not even been explored yet. Maybe I'll come to Mozambique to establish a branch of a business that's already working here in the near future. The point is, we don't need to leave the continent to massively succeed. Mozambique has its challenges, but it has its opportunities too. That's the case across all the continent.
Actually many investors in Mozambique are public investments. I know those companies. Wyte South Africans are the western missionaries, their source of investments is equally as the same western investment in your country hence I dont believe in this wyte South African thing. You are basically Asking black South Africans to compete with the west, something that not only your generations failed but your ancestors as well. Black South Africans have achieved more than all Africans in a short space of time, instead of been proud of us, ofcorse you look for something else as if your own people have done better.
@@gangomane840 MTN which is the biggest mobile company in Africa is operating in more than 18 companies in Africa, that is just an example. Mozambique gained independent before us, please name me one big company your people built which is traded across the continent
Good question 🤔
We must always identify with continental Africa with or with out digital technology.....
We're Africans 🤷🏾♂️
But South Africa is not by far the same as Zimbabweans provided that we remove all the European investors because what's sustaining our country is the European investors, then how do you investor in South Africa. Because whatever we investors in goes outside of the country.
We have white people of European descent who are South African. Our economic climate is conducive for investors. Why would you want to remove any investors?
But if w keep the current president w wll b forced to move out as many skilled workers r doing lately the more they leave the more south africa go down nd the more ramaphosa gets rich
We give these politicians too much credit. It starts with us, the masses, what are we doing at an individual level? Governments are messing up all over the world, depending on them is a waste of time.
His time wll come nd h wll have to answer to all his flops
There are so many south Africans in other African countries, is that when we go to other countries it's always work related, expanding company's branches, we don't just go for job hunting and corruption, that's why is unrecognisable especially by people who don't proper research
Yo please listen to what I say before commenting.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi I'm not saying you wrong I was just stating more reason why it's feels like south Africans are not spreading across Africa
I understand global business and it's OK, however there should be African owned companies that's leading businesses throughout the continent. If there are more multinationals within Africa than African companies then we will be in an unfair position business wise and money wise. Support black owned.
In SA, Rands in Black Hands
-Dr. Asad
Facts. But sometimes we have to get those Rands from multinationals as capital, then establish those black owned businesses. I'm working on something in the online education space, but it'll probably take 10 years to bear fruit. So we start where we are with what we have, and we play the long term game.
I feel that those that are leaving SA because of political turmoil or any other related problems are cowards, imagine if those who fought for our freedom have opted to leave SA? where would we be now?
Fair point. What about those who Leave to explore certain opportunities?
woooow this is profound
Thank you 🙏🏽
The richest Black man in the world, Aliko Dangote, lives & makes his wealth in Nigeria. From there he has been expanding his businesses to other African countries. Yes, Africa is still rich but Africans are the ones who make the continent poor for ourselves.
Mr Dangote solved his country's problems first, then once he had succeeded, he expanded. I think that is the way to do it.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi Dangote is solving not just his country problem but african as a whole. The man is a visionary .
@@hadizamohammed2443 the point I was making is that he started solving his country's problems first, then went to the rest of the world.
@@ThabangMkhwanazi true 👍
