As an 84 year old dublin born and bred dubliner but widowed 5 years ago i welcome you to my country and thank you for coming and being so positive in your comments. Hope that in years to come you will look back on your relocation as the best decision you ever made. Welcome David Mccabe dublin
Hi David as a fellow dubliner living in dublin ,that's a lovely message, I hope your doing well
You are such a good person for welcoming these people to your country. God bless you and your family. Love south africa ❤
Im Spanish and I moved to South Africa 4 years ago and I’m still in love with this amazing country
No country is perfect. You have good and really bad places in all countries just like where I live here in the UK. Things are really falling apart here...just don't recognise this country I've called home now for 23 years...it gotten from worse to worse over the last 13 years it's so sad.
Peace of mind, safety, security and quality of life matter most in my opinion.
Happy for you.
I love the free feeling of public traveling in UK and the architecture, the way of living is the best..nothing like S.A

Why?
We moved to Ireland from South Africa in February 2020, with our teenage son. It was the best decision ever. He often thank us for that, because he has opportunities that he wouldn't have there. We miss the sun and the heat, but Ireland is beautiful and the people have made us feel so welcome. We are also so grateful for being safe.
The feeling of being able to actually sleep, safe in your bed is something that we now take for granted. Our children have a beautiful future to look forward to xxx
Delighted you are all happy here. We Irish need people like ye. You are so welcome . God bless all of you 🙏
😅 wishing you all the best my sister, God 's children always win
White South Africans are welcome in most other countries, just not in their own country.
Best decision you made! The situation in South Africa has become worse and worse with robberies, hijackings etc. My husband and I also left South Africa with our 3 children aged 6, 8 and 12. We emigrated to Sydney, Australia. I immediately got a job as a Legal secretary and my poor children became “latch key” children as my husband went back after a few weeks to ‘consolidate’ his business. He only returned after nearly 2 years, sneaking his new mistress into the country with him! He left me and our children for this woman. However, after 2 years they broke up but we never reconciled! Over the years I brought up the children on my own as he never ever visited them or even enquired about their wellbeing!! But we survived!
Wow that is some story, more power to you, best wishes
Wow… l hope you got rid of him. Now you live in a nanny state, all the best.
Such sad story….. men are no longer real men
I'm so happy for you. I think you should try and convince your parents to come ass well just to help out you know
@@Enlightenment246And where do you live?in a cave?😂
Hi from SA, yes corruption & crime is really bad but such a beautiful country, i will never believe that it can't be fixed. Could cry bitter tears when I think of what it was to what it is now but there's always hope 🙏. May you & your family go from strength to strength & be blessed in all you do. Beautiful vid
@ronnykenny3965,
It can and it will be fixed as soon as we unseat the ruling criminals. This will be their last term.
The Lord is about to officially give us our promised land. A lot will change. He will give us peace on all sides, the peace that flows like a river. The days of crime and violence will be our past nightmare.
Loved Ireland. Lived there in Dublin South. Travelled to work on the Dart, You dont have to be there for 800 years ( as you do in England) before people will talk to you. Shambles in the North. Hopefully the whole idiocy will depart and the country can be one again. Property.. ouch...lots of government corruption still....soft stuff.
@fisstudies320 I couldn't agree with you more. I am so hopeful for South Africa, the Lord will surely turn it around.
From Africa Light to Africa Dark, it is Africa after all !
Kudos to you - great attitude of gratitude - it will get better - hou aan - well done to you you all - I left Rhodesia in 1981 with my wife and two suitcases - I hear you and your struggles.. proud of you..
You were both very responsible for ensuring your kids have safety and a future. We returned to Ireland after 24 years in the UK roughly around the time you guys made Ireland home and Ireland is such a wonderful place to live...yes some problems like everywhere but overall a great life, particularly for kids. Good luck to you both and try and get a cheap Spanish holiday...the Irish sun break 😂
I think a new dawn is on the horizon for ALL of the Irish people and our amazing culture . Both Catholic and Protestant
My sister and husband, plus there 2 boys, made the same move, in 2020. He got a job, she played housewife. Same story, had to walk the kids to school 3km? They couldn't afford a car at first. They also rave about Ierland. Goodluck and God bless!
I am 50 , moved here , 2 years ago with a suitcase and a bike. So I Can relate. Well done
Lots of south Africans living here these days. A very welcome addition to Ireland.
Why
Yes, .. they're far more decent people and highly productive, unlike those third-world imports.
You are very welcome in Ireland. The country needs more good people like you. Safety is so important and your kids will thrive, they will be very well educated and earn great money and with your attitude you will be a great success too. Welcome, delighted to hear at the end that you are happy.
Really enjoyed this real life story. I emigrated from Ireland in 2004. I hope things go great for you there.
True grit, that's what you have. I take my hat off to you. You've made the right decision and I don't think that you are irresponsible at all. If I had small children I would have done the same thing. You've made great strides in four years and just think how far you will have travelled in four years' time. Keep up with your shining spirit,
One of my good friends, Capetonian, went there too. Best move he ever made. Don`t worry about the shoddy weather: you`re a hop, skip and jump from Spain, Portugal , Greece, etc. The absence of fear is difficult to explain to those who haven`t experienced it!
An Algerian man I worked with absolutely loves it here, says "Ireland is so peaceful" we are blessed indeed, hopefully we can keep it that way.
What a lovely family. Best of luck to you and yours
Don’t leave Ireland is a great ould place with kind gentle people.
My family left Ireland in 1969 to go live in Australia. It took 5 weeks then to get to Australia on the Italian liner the Angelina Laura. We actually stopped off in Cape Town, South Africa on the way to Australia and my mother got the best cup of tea since leaving Ireland. People were mostly leaving Ireland then and not immigrating there. I hope you and your family find happiness in Ireland.
Your story will resonate with most Irish people because so many of us have relatives who had to leave Ireland in the past in order to try and make better lives for themselves-known as ‘the Diaspora’. Thankfully that day is gone-although some people still choose to do so-but we can empathise with people who come here now. I have relatives in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA and the UK and that’s typical of most of us. Welcome to the Irish weather! Cycling or walking home in the lashings of rain and gales of wind was par for the course during my schooldays-still is work/shopping wise as a matter of fact as I’ve never had a car. Well done on what you’ve achieved so far and no doubt there’s a lot more to come in the future. You should be eligible for citizenship in a year or so if you choose to go that route-all doors across the EU open up and because of the Common Travel Area between Ireland and the UK, that jurisdiction would also be accessible for jobs, living etc. I really enjoyed hearing your story.
From one mom to another, your patience never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks so much for this video - it's really nice to hear an overview of the whole experience over the years.
(And I love the description of C... as "the flu that got out of control"!)
Thank you so much! xxx
Love your story and your determination to make a better life for you and your family. I can relate to some of that. I am Irish and Live in Australia , left home at 15 to make a better life ,
All I can say is.... You made the best decision... Ireland is magical... I loved every minute I was there. Enjoy!
Is that because you lived for free whilst the tax payer subsidised it
@@bernese1004 I was there for a week on holiday. Where I come from nothing is for free. I work and pay my way. So the answer is no. Have a lovely day. 👌🏻
@@bernese1004You drunk again?

We're SA's living in Ireland too, way up in the North-West in Co Donegal. We've had a really difficult journey as well, but like you, we're also just so thankful to be here, safe and sound.
My family came from Donegal and I was born in England.I’ve been to ZA 8 times. And love the country and all the people .However you have done the right thing .Living behind fences and 24 hour security and the constant fear of crime is no life .I hope you love your new home ,sadly poverty drove us away ,look after our ancestral home .☘️
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing. We haven't been to Donegal yet... I've heard it is beautiful!
@@clario2178 I only just saw your message, 3 weeks later. Thank you for your kind words. Best wishes to you and your loved ones 🫶
@@impromptuimmigrants Beautiful indeed, but it's also a different vibe. People are just a little more calm and relaxed here. I hope you're able to visit Co Donegal one day. Take care and keep warm! 🌻
A very successful immigrant story, I’m delighted that it worked for you given how determined you were to make better lives for your family. Hopefully you will be able to get citizenship soon.
IRL is richer with you and your lovely family. Personal security is something we takenfor granted, until it's not there.
Welcome to Ireland. We need more people like you and your family.
Do we really need more people though ? I disagree,.
We do need people like this family - we will be a better country for it@@jamie2186
You South Africans are lovely hard working normal people. Unfortunately fanatical Irish republicanism wants to destroy their fellow Irishmen because they are Protestants .
@@jamie2186we absolutely do, they are hard working and aren't sitting on social welfare , Irish people have been emigrating for 100s of years we know what's it's like to not be welcome , they are adding to society and paying there way
First of all, I have to comment on how amazing your intro is. Wow, you really seem to be very creative/artistic, I could never produce such elegant videography but, I can appreciate it.
I'll be honest, I was afraid that you were going to say that you didn't like Ireland and that you thought it was a mistake, phew..... It was a lovely honest and insightful video. There are two things that I really don't like about Ireland, 1 - The Weather and long winters. 2 - The high cost of living. However, I think you have made an excellent choice with respect to your children's future. The education system and career opportunities here are top notch and this will continue for the foreseeable future. Hence the high cost of living but we are now a rich first world economy. And your children will be well balanced, grounded, kind and have a good sense of humour ! Because of you guys but also because in general we are like that here ;-)
Well done to you and your husband for being so brave to make these sacrifices for your children. I've met a few South Africans who have done something very similar to what you guys have done. You were so vulnerable with such little financial backing, but you guys are so so rich in talent and attitude. In my opinion, we are very fortunate that you choose Ireland to re-locate to.
Now can you please let us win the Rugby World Cup ?
May you and your family enjoy many happy years in our beautiful country. ☘️
eyes watered watching this thinking of all us Irish who had to leave our birthplace in search for opportunity's and a decent life to now seeing yous come to Ireland i hope yous find what your looking for here god bless
Hey Bronwyn! Your lovely Saffa voice is so soothing to listen to! And I love your text on the screen during the noisy bits 😂 we are in Ireland 7 months already!!
I lived in the uk for 7 years to get my passport and was very happy to leave and come back to SA. I travelled to Dublin and Belfast and although I enjoyed the holiday, the weather and culture was not for me.
South Africa has its problems but I’ve actually lived my best life since returning and have not been subject to any crime or horror stories that some may have experienced. I travelled a lot when in Europe but there’s just something about the lifestyle, culture and people that I just never gelled with. I always felt like a foreigner and that it wasn’t my forever home (despite trying my hardest). Moving on is fine if it’s for a better life etc but I’ve been back here for 10 years and it really boils down to making the most of whatever on offer and shinning where you are planted. There would have to be a very good reason to up and move again after this, I’m just glad I had the opportunity to live abroad to appreciate what I have now and not to get taken too much with other peoples journeys and lives.
Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your journey. I just love hearing how immigration (and return to SA) has changed your perspective. I love what you said about making the best of where you are. Had a sneak peek at your channel, looking forward to seeing more videos xxx
Welcome (again) and congratulations, you'll remember these strugges and they will help get you through whatever tough times that may arise in the future. I've always enjoyed your videos as an Irish person its always good to see an other view, we take things for granted sometimes. May you and your family have all you need going forward.
Hardworking and peaceful people are always welcome 🙏 ❤
My heart went out to you, watching your video.We are children of this soil,and no matter where we go,our hearts are here.I ask God to bless you and keep your family safe and well.
Ireland needs young motivated people to come here ,it's great to see it .
Ireland needs to keep its own young motivated people from emigration enmasse, unfortunately our incompetent Government have destroyed the place.
I want to migrate to ireland
That's very true as well, the housing situation is disaster . @@ailinofaolin8897
@@ailinofaolin8897sadly Ireland is being destroyed. It’s actually heartbreaking to see how it has changed.
Ireland and it’s people are wonderful. I left SA for Uk (10 yes) and now Australia. Was a tough rough road . But kids are safe and we are settled . Pray for SA and Ireland
And here we in SA are praying for the UK, Ireland, Australia, etc etc etc etc
Thank you for your prayers
Why did you not stay in the UK? I mean, 10 years is enough time to acquire permanent residency there, and life's good there, with all the luggage it comes with.
How do you like Australia compared to the UK? We're currently in the UK but thinking of moving to a warmer climate country.
We lived in Ireland for 11 years, but moved back to SA when we retired. You’re young you can make a great future for yourselves.
I was so curious as to why/how this video went viral as I watched, but then you started singing "The Wheels on the Bus" and everything became clear!!!!! Kisses and hugs, sweet lady!
Lovely to hear your story of leaving SA. We moved to North Ireland in Oct 2017 from Zimbabwe and it has been the best thing for us to do. We feel the same greatfulness and kindness of our new country. We are working as domestics in a Belfast hospital and enjoying the experience. Blessings to your dear family xx
Our family left Zim too, we are in UK ❤ 🇿🇼
Delighted to see you making a success out of your move. A brave and courageous move moving to another continent! I suspect one the reasons for your move was for the betterment of your children. Irelands towns.are great places for kids to grow up. We are a very expensive country and its a struggle for many of us so , Kudos to you and James for hanging in there and making it work. Hopefully ye will get a little holiday soon. Best Regards.
Hi guys, aka II , just found your channel. I have been living in Galway this past plus 15y. Hope you're enjoying the Irish welcome and making the most of valuing the Irish culture. Galway is a stunning place to bring your children up. Blessings ( Go Bokke!! & the Caltic Warriors Ire) God bless your family
As a South African Granny, I am in awe of your resilience and determination. With your attitude and outlook I see only luck and happiness in the future. God bless Ireland and their generous people. Visiting U K in a couple of weeks where I hope I will be in a technical position to buy you that coffee. Your family look lovely, go well
Ireland is a dif country to UK. Lovely sentiment though. ❤
Thank you so much for your brave story, you got to look back at some great years and i'm hoping you'll get some great years to come to you. I wish you all the very best and looking forward to you next videos.
The spirit of the Boers is always welcome in Ireland. ❤
Good honest People like your family who want to work and contribute to society are very welcome in Ireland 🇮🇪
Hmmmm ..little racist implication there johnearle....tutut..you actually sound like a Brit 🤣🤣
@@haripriya748 Not racist but sick of working and paying high tax in Ireland to contribute to the upkeep of immigrants who claim social welfare and get free housing .
@@johnearle6667I am Irish John Earle..and I contest your assertion...but hey racist is as they are
Thank you for watching x
Your story sounds so similar to ours. We left Jhb, SA in June 2017 and moved to Ireland. Not an easy journey, but here 6 years now and loving every minute of this beautiful country. Made some lovely friends here. South African and Irish friends. I got my 10 year residency stamp last year and can now start getting my paperwork together to apply for citizenship. Can't wait to have that. It's not easy. I left my Mom behind, 8 months after my Daddy passed away. So really hard to leave her, knowing she is all alone now. But, at the end of the day, I had to make big plans for my little family. A future for my son. A better life for us. And I'm glad we did.
Times are hard now but you’ve done the right thing ZA is going one way sadly,spent some great days and nights in Cape Town 🇿🇦🇮🇪
My son still moved to Ireland in 2021 with his British passport. He had no problem to settle and get a job immediately. He loves Ireland it is his grandmother's homeland so in the future he will be applying for Irish citizenship. Good luck to you guys as a young couple you have made the best decision.
Hope you get the chance to visit him often and enjoy our little country.
As a British passport holder I'm thinking of doing exactly the same thing!
You’re very welcome here. Such a positive addition to our communities South Africans. I watched as I saw the mistake part and had to know what we’d done wrong 😳
You and your husband have inspirational levels of GRIT. That journey to settle here sounds so hard and admire you guys for persevering.
Ireland is a great country to grow up in. Yes, it's expensive and the weather is fairly cold and wet but we are blessed.
Brilliant choice for your family, esp the kids. Hope you have a long and happy life here.
🇮🇪 ❤ 🇮🇪
Keeping just putting one foot in front of the other. Don't give up. You are doing the right thing...recognising the small joys of family time.
Delighted to welcome a lovely family like yourselves. All are much needed, thank you so much.
You are so fortunate to be in Ireland ☘️ its so tough here in S..A. being from Irish descent, I am so wising myself in your shoes, enjoy and feel safe and loved by the beautiful Irish people and country 🙏💚👍🙏
These people came here to work and contribute positively to society good luck to them
Out family moved to Ireland in the mid 2000’s for a year . It’s a beautiful place (weather aside) good people , safe, fresh air, clean and orderly. Can’t ask for more if you are moving to a better place. Downside- tough property ladder to get on to and not much to do compared to other major cities. All round a great place
You’re very welcome in Ireland .. hope everything works out for you and your family.
Congratulations. Well done. My son did the same to the UK. It's so hard. Good luck with the future. SA Cape Town 💓
An old IRISH proverb:
May the road rise with you
EISH....Storm Isha...(i'm an Irish born -Dublin - that lived in SA for 30 years,including military service schooling etc). I live in the North of Ireland which currently still unfortunately is part of the UK..but a United Ireland is closer now....WOW 200 euros..WELL DONE MAN!...and better a cold dark Winter than a life of load shedding and family security fear in SA.
It’s amazing what you do when you know your children future is at hand.
I was back in ireland the first week in September visiting friends in co. Down.
I spent three days in Dublin, like you said every country has their issues. But one of my Irish friends was going on and on how bad Ireland was. I just listened and I explain to him all of the problems he’s discussing is going on throughout Europe and the United States. I have friends that just moved back to Ireland because they don’t want their kids going through shooter drills.
I’m so glad you guys are doing well and the kids are thriving. Also some of the best universities in the world are in Ireland.
It’s amazing what we do to make it opportunities for our children❤
But, there is high racism in Ireland.
@@youme1414that's hardly unique to Ireland.
@@youme1414 how are you determining “high racism” one particular incident does not define a society. It seems anecdotal . Like any modern society there are issues. But a small group of agitators on the right does not define who the Irish people are.
@@youme1414rubbish! Concern for high migration due to flailing infrastructure is not racism!!
@@youme1414 @youme1414 Clearly the majority of ppl in Ireland are not racist though. We are the only country in the west to not have any main political party pushing a racist or anti-immigration rhetoric cause that sh*t doesn't fly here. 😊
Céad Míle Fáilte - and congratulations on your bravery and resilience in making such a big leap of faith. We do whatever it takes for the sake of our children.
While born in Ireland I lived for a number of years in Zimbabwe, spending a lot of time in South Africa - and really struggled to re-acclimatise back to Ireland due to the weather. Sea swimming solved it (you’re getting wet anyway).
Saffers bring a genuine friendliness, braai culture and love of rugby with them - so Ireland is a great choice!
We made a similar journey 25 years ago from Zimbabwe. No regrets.
Hi from cpt! Your story is impressive, so brave. Kudos to you guys. Hang in there 😊
Dear Lovely South African family in Ireland. I watched with memories flooding back of when my South African wife and myself and our 1 year old moved to Ireland from Germany. I then commuted every week Mon-Fri to work in Germany while my poor wife stayed alone with our son. She was a trooper and despite all the hardships, she managed it poor soul. We Love Ireland. My mother is of Irish descent and Ireland has twice in my life extended a hand, to allow me to get myself out of the gutter. We salute your resilience...when I arrived in German from Cape Town, I had enough for my tiny hotel room, and enough to eat McDonalds each day for the first month. So kudos to your husband being the vortrekker for the family and succeeding, and what with C virus in all that midst. My goodness. Not to mention the housing shortages that we as a family experienced there, having been evicted twice as the house was sold from under us. Again, our collective hats off to you. We pray you have a nice holiday and spend more time together as a family. God bless.
Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your story. I just love hearing immigration stories, and yours is amazing. True grit and determination!
Congratulations, your bravery and determination will be rewarded. Well done!
I've been to Ireland. The people are lovely. The weather no so much, but it's a beautiful country. 🍀
Hello from South Africa, being here for a 29 years, but now things are change, (you know hou it is now), you made the right choice, no mater hou hard it was, it will be only better, and better,. I have been in a similar situation with my family migrating from Russia 29 years ago. I wish you all the luck in the world.
A great story of dedication to follow your hearts! I agree: we always need to just do it. It works out when the heart is the compass. Well done and it's a great way to live authentically and show your children that everything is possible! There are always good people around to help when needed! God Bless!
I am an immigrant to Ireland and I agree this country steals our hearts. The people are AMAZING, it's worth being here and enjoying the beauty of the country in which the fairies are held in high regard! ;-)

Ps if interested in comming to the Burren west of Ireland on a short break
To my modest farming home with more animals than a zoo
kind regards Sean
That was the best move you could have made for your children. We did the same thing we left SA in 2008 and moved to New Zealand. We ( me, wife and 2 daughters) just had our clothes and a bit of money with us. I had to find a job and find one in the form of farming. This was a big challenge as I had no farming experience, luckily the farmer I worked for was a very patient man and he learned me everything about farming. The great thing about farming was the free housing. I later studied through my employer towards an agricultural diploma and never looked back. We are now 15 years in this country and I didn’t go back to South Africa yet. I will never go back to SA again New Zealand is for us home now and the weather is actually pleasant, never too hot and never too cold. The scenery is spectacular and we think we stay in the most beautiful country on earth. I am so happy for you and your family that it did work out for you and at the end of the day it is the best decision that you could have made for your children. Wish you and your family just the best. Hope you still support the Bokke.
200 million Irish scattered around the world… glad a few are able to come back to their ancestral home☘️🙏✝️
200million....😂😂😂
Not 200, stop the embellishment.
I hope all of them move back to Ireland. That is what the world is saying now.
You don't really look happy though or maybe you still settling in I guess...That excitement isn't there...
And your proof I’m embellishing is ? There are just in America alone that 100 million have Irish dna … do the math…
Ireland is a grand wee spot! Left SA in 2000 to come to Ireland and have not regretted a single day.
Thank you for sharing your story, you are such a brave couple. ❤
You are very welcome to Ireland I hope you feel at home here it's very difficult to make a living here but it's a very safe place to bring up your little family
Hi Bronwyn , I love your story, very inspiring. I trust that your new found country will bring you and your family great joy and happiness.
Ireland is lucky to have you. You have the determination to succeed. Fáilte!
You are very welcome in Ireland. I've met some other South Africans living in Ireland and we both love rugby so we get on great immediately lol.
Thanks.. your video is wonderful..peaceful and welcoming..for your honesty ..perfect presentation..
Continue to be brave and strong. When you watch your children grow up you will know how right your choice was! I’m from SA and am now in Australia. Like you, arrived with nothing but have made a wonderful life here. Love the honesty and openness of your video ❤
What an inspiration! You people are the best definition of focus, determination and purpose. Best of luck
Thank you so much for watching
Welcome to Ireland and your new home near the sea :-)
You are amazing parents that only wants the best for your children. We envy you, from another 🇿🇦
Wish you all the best.
Very brave my girl. So happy for you guys. We also left SA in the 80s and as you say it makes you stronger. We are back in Cape Town now though after a long trek. Australia then the UK and back to SA.
Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your journey. Proper round trip that one! I love stories about how people returned 'home'.
Welcome to Ireland, we need people just like you in our country.
Thank you so much for watching
Moved to NZ last November. It was tough, but the LORD was so good to us.
Thank you for sharing that with us ☺️
I have a school friend now living in Ireland. Working as a nurse. She left SA on her own and apart from complaining about the cold, she is enjoying it. Wish I could get a job there, I'd also leave SA.
Congratulations and Good luck with your journey! Brighten your corner, where you are! :) Love from your compatriots
Hello old school friend, stumbled across this video, good to see you, love your story. Well done, immigration is not easy. Been in New Zealand 7 years now with my 2 children. Enjoy life in Ireland 💚
Hello my friend!! Wow, 7 years already! How time flies!! Hope you and your children are well! Sending lots of love xxx
Delighted to have you and your family in Ireland wishing you continued success and hope you will continue to be happy best wishes from carrick on suir tipperary
Great to see a real addition to to Ireland .. People who will be of benefit to our Country...
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment.
Totally agree ❤
I was born in England and moved to Ireland with my mum and dad and my siblings where I would have spent my formative years in school etc, then my dad and mum who were both Irish decided to return back to Ireland which was the best decision for us because where we lived was starting to get dangerous with breaking etc and we've never looked back.

It's good folk like you's that come to Ireland to make a better life for yourself that in turn makes Ireland a better place. I hope it all works out for you and your's.
Love watching your videos. You made the right decision as SA has definitely become worse in the last couple of years. I recently lost my husband and am busy selling my house and will then be moving to Navan, County Meath to live with my Son and Daughter in Law and family. Have visited Ireland a few times and love it and the people are great. My Son came over for his Dads Funeral and was horified at the grocery prices and fuel price. I cant wait to get there.
Stay strong .Hopefully things will get better.
