The religious deliberation about halfway through. South Africa was quaint wierdo ? No. They used to also have those interludes on Australian TV. I remember one of these [ as completely distinct from tele-evangelism ] on a regional TV channel in this same era [ late '70s ] in Australia and the religious theme was about getting things done. So this balding cleric pulled out a circular card with " TUIT " printed on it as if to castigate the concept of seeking reward by rushing things through.
Apartheid was wrong but back then South Africa was a first world country that was the equal to Australia and New Zealand. The ANC have been in power for thirty years now and they turned what was a first world country into a third world slum. How is that a good thing? The road back to recovery for South Africa will be a long and painful one. Getting the ANC out of power will be a welcome start on that long journey.
Well, for what its worth, the same Western nations that forced Rhodesia and South Africa to hand over their beautiful countries to communists, are now headed down the same path. Karma is a bitch.
Nelson Mandela's terrorists. What joy to hear well enunciated English. No dreadlocks, garish lipstick, mangled English or ice cream scoop fingernails or matted wigs
Robert and Jean-Cora Smit died 22 Nov 1977. Most likely a secret police hit. "RAU TEM" sprayed in red was most likely a distraction. Major General Kleinhaus is probably aware that the viewers know he is lying. He is on screen to show or warn people what happens when you step out of line.
I was a aprentist in 1964 And qualified in 1967. As a plumber and was never without a job until 2012. Now a pensioner at 78 Jr's. Old. But unfotunelatly Those were the days.
I was 8 in '77. Todays 'Freedom Fighters' used terror as a weapon back then, so we called them Terrorists. I often traveled SAFELY by bus from Malvern to town during the school holidays to see movies near the Carlton Centre.
What was the name of the English news anchor presenter in the video? There was a long serving English anchor with spectacles who started with SABC in the 1970's and retired at SABC.

@@christobosman5710 Apartheid the world called for separate culture development the world needs desperately today? No, we don't want an apartheid nor a separate culture development. We have been through that we don't want to go back.
@@christobosman5710 We are no longer divided between socialism vs. capitalism. We are now divided between democracy vs. authoritarianism/totalitarianism. Socialism vs. capitalism is a 20th century thing and we are no longer in the 20th century. We are in the 21st century now.
@@marcosjuarez7809 what don't you understand in my comment , the world is in a mess today because cultures differ , certain cultures must be kept seperate , look what happened in Cyprus, look it up and even their was very little difference amongst those cultures, we don't even like the same music and a little thing like that can cause friction , i stand with what i said if the world followed our system in the good old South Africa of seperate culture development the world would have been a far better place to live in today , now proof me wrong with facts that you can back up as the truth as I can do .

Wow I was 10 years old when this was broadcast and when I left school one of my jobs was working in the bioscope in the Carlton centre . I used to catch a train fron Florida to Joburg , was so easy and no problems. I miss my younger days in Florida, Florida Lake , Joburg and Hillbrow. Thanks for the memories :)
I still live in Florida, Madeline just above Goldman, 😊 believe me, it's heart breaking what we see daily now. Entire Goldman street a rotten dump now! No more meticulously arranged jewelry store with velvet lining display in the window.No more shoe stores I think it was Edworks back then, no more Ok bazaars, no more Edgars on the corner.All the big bank branches closed down.It's like taking a drive down to hell from time to time, drugs OPENLY offered to a middle aged woman on the pavement in Goldman now....
They couldn't as Mr Biko was a banned person: in those days, if you were banned as a person you could not be quoted much less represented in any media.
A "behoorlike land" that disenfranchises 90% of the population to the benefit of a foreign minority? A "behoorlike land" where dissidents would be abducted and ruthlessly assaulted until they die from severe brain injury?
And another SABC closedown from 1990. The national anthem film they used is played over a montage of scenic locations of ZA (including Table Mountain). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tMZFlHGiw58.html
I just love the first jingle on the test card after the epilogue: Virginia, the wine for men who enjoy being men, Virginia!🤣 Great memories, I had a few days left of std 5 , thank you.
I found another SABC closedown from 1989 and the national anthem film they used at the time is played over a montage of native ZA birds, flowers, and animals. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-casJyoW-xlI.html
The streets look so clean and orderly and the quality of the newscasters are so much better than what they are today!… It’s obvious that South Africa has regressed tremendously since then.
Rubbish this was all a charade, how did the townships look? Just cause the white areas looked good does not mean the whole of SA looked good. The NP are cowards for only building a good life for only 8 million people instead of the whole 40 million in the country at that time. Anyone can make a good life for just 8 million people nothing special there
Well I agree with him and I do not support apartheid. The ideal thing would have been that the life standards and rights that whites enjoyed were fully extended to blacks and other communities. Instead, the life standards of both blacks and whites dropped after Mandela and Motlanthe, but there is racial equality.
Hi yes they had a Philips vcr. This was before beta or vhs. Tape was square. I ended up sending it to the UK to be digitized as the one person I found in SA who had a machine discovered it was not working when he offered to transfer the footage for me.
@@carolynlewis1903 It's gold. I was born in 1980. So interesting seeing how news was covered around that time. The Biko court coverage is really interesting.
A great piece of history. Lucky you saved it - I presume on VHS. I was born Aug 1977 ! Somewhere I have the first 30s of the opening of the SABC in 1976. Thanks for posting.
