I watch this every couple of years and it always makes me cry. Pl do an update of everyone featured in this doccie, and also interview a new crop of Stellies students. Thank you for making important films like this Dan!! (from a Coloured girl who just visited Stellies on a trip to CT once and felt invisible)
This is embarrassing. These poor students lives are altered because of this behaviour. I hope we can take this in and make serious changes here and everywhere in SA.
Guys this is criminal and inhumane! How is this happening in our country, how are these institutions allowed to exist and thrive? And the government is part of the problem! It's sick! Afrikaans should never be the language of exchange in education system. It must be spoken by its people in the same way as other African languages and not be forced on anyone! Ramaphosa sits there with his nose while young people are abused in an environment where they should feel most comfortable! Wow!
Stellenbosch University lures people of colour with bursaries and scholarships but when these people experience these social problems they turn a blind eye.
Afriforum could work at fixing this but as much as they help the minority. What is holding them back from fixing this minority for being lack students.
I'm watching this in 2024 after headlines of an alleged "House of horrors" it strikes me that there's a literary reference that has become something of a meme from the comic book Watchmen where a character who experiences time non-linearly but all at once speaks about events both past and future as present. Apropos of nothing, then: It is 2015, I am watching a video about racist incidents at Stellenbosch University. It is 2022, there is a news story about a racist incident at Stellenbosch University. The year is 2024, evidence has come out about racist practices at Stellenbosch University. It is 202...
Stellies sounds like a shit show but I'm English not in a million years would I sign up to classes taught in Afrikaans ...why do these people choose stellies in the first place ?
But why do you guys even apply to this blady school, coz you will not change anything. By the time you finish your degree you would have lost blackness and need a lot of therapy.
@@UnknownUnicornPoop who am I to tell you what to do....I made the comment to highlight that.. racist, pink supremacists are still there.... whether you wanna go there it's up to you...and to add Pink supremacists are allover SA..
Cape Town in general has red flags all over when it comes to racial profiling!! I feel we need a president who can take decisions and force change. 30 years into a so called democracy, we shouldn't be discussing racism!!
As a Stellies student currently, this really opens my eyes to the social problems that many people experience and that I have never noticed. Being on the privileged side of the equation shelters you from the reality that many people have to live with, and it's a sad fact many people don't want to notice or acknowledge. I'm sorry, for anything I have done or said that contributes to the continuation of these prejudices, and I personally promise to do and be better.
If I had gone to Fort Hare University and encountered people speaking Xhosa, maybe even more than just an occasional word or phrase spoken during a lecture, do you think I should have whined about how the university (that I applied to enter, knowing full well what languages I'm likely to find in use there) used languages they've used for decades that I can't understand? No, screw that, that would be on me.
I have doing research in higher education in SA for the last 8 years and these stories are just the surface of the dehumanization and violence. I watch this documentary at least once a year and teach with it. thank you so much for this documentary.
Stellenbosch was established with one idea in mind...to foster and expand Afrikaans language education.. to study at Stellenbosch is a free choice, these students knowingly enrolled at an Afrikaans University, without being able to speak or understand the main language of tuition. Now they are somehow transformed into victims? The University should better screen their prospective students for Afrikaans language ability.
DEFINITELY watch this video below after this one above : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eqKAGfWnuOs.html Contraband, ask yourself what did your video leave people with? Gloom and anger? what does the other video (1.3 SU Stereotypes: Racism or Culturalism) leave you with? hope and happiness? Was the contraband video a propaganda piece then? does it help or harm?
Don't worry brothers and sisters, we will get ahead, we will get our country back, no violence needed but we will get our country back. We WILL get rid of the ANC, we WILL get rid of the establishment.
Equality should be the forefront of an educational institution. My heart goes out to all my fellow students Who have been racially abused. To be honest....I have come across a few people of Afrikaner decent who are plain down racist and use the word coolie openly. I am not one to generalise though...as I may have come across a few rotten apples that aren't a fair reflection of an entire group. It's just sad that it's 2020 and we still gotta deal with this....
I am so shocked that it's four years later and things have not changed much. I was in a club a few months ago and I was dancing with a black guy, and the people in the club were mainly white and Afrikaans - like me. They made rude comments about us, blatantly. And especially towards him. It's so fucking rediculous - white people need to do better. I can't imagine the suffering that POC experience every day. The least that white people could do is to mind their own business. We need to do a lot more - but just at the very least.
Tjo....I can't believe we still have people like this in this day and age.Young people...like kanjani?I live in the beautiful KZN and I am just battling to comprehend what I just heard.May the great Lord bless all of our heart-broken and angry hearts.I must say this video has made me not want to set my foot in Stellenbosch.ai ngeke.....umuntu ufunda njani ngama translations? umhlolo nje lowo.

14:40 Please. There is no such thing as human races. When talking like that, you reinforce the whole race-ism base pillar. The Afrikaanse people are just a group of people, not a race. Even their ethnity is the same as the dutch/middle Europeans. As postcolonialists still benefiting and keeping alive the whole racism system (not everyone, but as whole society) they don't even deserve to be have Afrika in their name. And they don't deserve to be called a "culture" which implies "worth conserving" as long as the key element of that is still the oppression.
Thats why indonesian threw out the Dutch completely after ww2 tho cost a lot of economic loss but gradually getting back the economy through the natives, otherwise it will turn out like SA today. altho percapita indo still lag behind but gdp wise we are larger than our former coloniser ... So Good luck guys with those biatches that still basically colonize SA economically ... There will be time when you can empower your native africans society independently and become their strong competitor in economy.
this documentary speaks levels i for one don't want to waste my time dealing with ignorant people who are fighting to so hard to protect a language that is dying out
