American students share notes on SA culture 

Watching this makes me realize that i sometimes take it for granted just how rich our country is in culture.

I'm crossing my fingers we all know and appreciate who Sipho Sithole is - what a legend. What a plethora of badges up his sleeve. Damn this man🙂

The lady in white also has such a South African look, she is even educating the journalist most of whom are completely aloof. They are both so grounded. Thank you also to sis Velile who is doing a good job showcasing our country. She is the Dr's wife and has her own lifestyle channel showcasing rural South Africa like youve never seen.

Awakening project for African people in the diaspora, much appreciate uBaba Sithole and Sisi Velile, we proud of you as Zulus , keep on promoting Zulu language to the world 🙌

I am a South African studying in America and when I say South Africa is ahead on a lot of things people don’t believe it and there are way more issues in America than one thinks this is why I always tell people there is no better place than home yes South African has our issues but the direction the people are heading is bright. In order to see that brightness is up to use but I think it’s possible the only thing standing in our way is the government once it show consistency we as a country will thrive beyond belief

I’m a proud Zulu girl and I absolutely enjoyed this. Thank you for coming to South Africa to actually learn about our beautiful Zulu culture and country ❤

I am a naturalized American, originally from East Africa. I spent 5 years in Cape Town, moving between Retreat, Woodstock, Heathfield, Plumstead, Parrow, Muizenberg, Simons Town,... The US is great, but not a paradise or perfect or anything like that. The prob is, not only people in Africa and some parts of Asia and Latin America think of the US as a superior country by all metrics but equally so do Americans themsleves because most Americans don't even have a passport so they have not travel throughout their lifetime!! Not even to Mexico...!!!?? When I arrived in the US I had lived in South Africa and had spent about 7 months in Japan. I could tell a number of things where the US lagged behind in a clear and undisputable manner. And I am glad the professor pointed out about malls. Frankly, SA has some of the best malls I have ever seen in my life, and believe me I have been all over the world. And public transportation wise, Europe and Japan and China are by far better than the US. I wish I could get a way to stay in South Africa again, it is such a fascinating country: the Water Front, Cape of Good Hope, the Camps Bay, Hout Bay....

Yasho leyonto!! Hay ziyakhala ke manje, Girls you'll are not lost at all this is you'll real home, you'll were taken from South Africa indeed . Welcome home daughters of the soil we love you'll so much. Speaking Zulu for you'll is amazing and that's your real language girl. Thank you sir Sithole for doing the great job to our people!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Tatiana thank you for the positive words about our country. You are a deep thinker

10:34 She's soooo humble. I like the way she speaks. You would swear she's from KZN. Her Zulu name is Busisiwe, Busi in short.

I am a black South African this is beautiful to see black Americans coming to South Africa to learn about our culture as black people it is important to know about their roots and what it means to be black and embracing blackness this is good the world is changing indeed

We need Sipho Sithole to come back to Podcast and Chill with these girls for the chillers sake please!!

Nice concept from Dr. Sithole, we need to take more of our languages (sesotho, sepedi, setswana, sendebele and isixhosa to the world etc ). Dr's in this respective languages Dr Sithole has shown you the way, now go and take our languages to the world too. Well done Dr. Sithole.

I am moving to South Africa and this is the beginning of a great cultural migration of young African Americans seeing South Africa. South Africans must also learn African American culture too.

Dr. Sipho Sithole is an incredible mind & cultural representation. His students have a great mind to learn from - I wish him nothing but the best!

It is always beautiful seeing someone from outside Africa appreciating our cultures, given we were brainwashed to worship western culture and reject ours. As a proud Zulu this warms my heart.

How Lovely 🥰 and Congratulations 🎊 I follow the Dr’s Lovely Wife Mrs. Velile! I look forward to learning the language and experience South Africa! 💎🎊🌟🥰💙🩵🩶

Am a Soci-cultural and Behavioral Anthropologist from Nigeria, studied in Nelson Mandel University. The South African culture is very interesting and fascinating, there are a lot of declining cultures accross Africa and we need researchers and writers to preserve our beautiful culture and tradition.

I’m Pedi and in Primary school I wasn’t allowed to speak my mother tongue with my peers but the Teachers could speak English and Afrikaans, I never protested against it I was just a kid so growing up I never used the pedi language consistently I feel like I lost Something that was supposed to be a part of me, It’s more than just a Language it’s my Identity, it’s who I am that was stripped away from me. Sometimes I even Reminisce on How people are viewed when speaking a language, People are looked down at for speaking a black African Language in the Middle class because that language is associated with the stereotype of a Black person from the township I’ve seen the preconceived notions and looks people give my family when they speaking Vernac, I decided to love my African Roots, to love my skin, my KINKY hair my fat lips and “round”nose I’ve taken Classes to help with me learning to speak Sepedi and I finally feel I’m connecting to something that’s just deeper than me, it’s something some people wouldn’t understand but Majority of Blacks would understand.

Dr. Sipho Sithole is our legend. We are so proud of the work. 🎉

Babu Sithole is such an amazing informed man...I once seen him on Podcast and chill platform...he got a of SA historically knowledge Respect!!!!!!!

Thatiyana ... so well spoken ... the voice

Great kids. Truly intelligent and humble

That's the history we need in our curriculums

in tears...sooo beautiful

I'm beyond impressed by Dr. Sithole. The man is super accomplished!

This two beautiful Black girls look like they were born here in Soweto,how similar Black people are regardless where we are born in the world.

Having a travelled the US, it has given more appreciation for my country and I celebrate the things we do get right over here. Hoping more African Americans travel here and walk away with an enriched sense of their heritage.

The anchor was so excited about meeting Americans until she was reminded about the land disposition from our people...and the ANC her excitement was diminished 😊

Jobe Jobe Jobe and Mam Velile Siyabonga ngokuvula abantu amehlo

And then you get some dunderheads from nigeria coming here and insulting us. Thank you so much Americans for the love

As a South African I appreciate these Americans stepping out of their comfort zone to learn about us even, that's something the world needs to do

i wish most Americans or even anyone outside South Africa and Africa can be like this especially when it comes to understanding different cultures like coloureds and the Tyla situation,if people were more open to knowing cultures we all would ve happy

I like the ANC part 🤣🤣✌️

Halaaaaaaala Africa Halaaaaaaala Africans in Africa & abroad, Halaaaaaaala Zulu. Phakama Ndlu emnyana, PHAKAMA! You beautiful, powerful & blessed race you✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Great Job Dr Sithole no Mama Velile🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

I’m coloured and I LOVE the Zulu people 🙌💯

But thy must also teach tswana and other south african languages

That was dope❤ But Newsroom Afrika is compromised unfortunately

Thathiyana mama 😩😩❤️❤️🥰🥰... Wamuhle mntanomuntu.. Aaaaaah!! Suka!!!... Ngyakuthanda mina🤞🏾😩❤️❤️

I like how that American lady said dr sithole❤❤🎉🎉

So this is why AI Data training companies are looking for Zulu AI Data Trainers

Beautiful people🤓

Respect Dr Sithole 🎉 ❤

This was beautiful!

They so blessed they got to meet the king ,us we can't meet the king 😅

We are not priviledges to add This is powerful as I hear her[ beautiful sister] speaking on land reform and seeing her eyes vested with anger at this problem, working with our sisters and brothers from the states can make it easier for us, easier and we can join hands with them to fight police brutality in the states coz they are really unaliving them in the states also to add mass incarceration.

So Americans are learning about our history but its not in our curriculum?

Yabona uNaledi kodwa 🥺😍🤩

Gabela, mthembu abathembu bengabakwabaMvelase, Jobe this is great bafo take us to the world map

Siyabonga Maphitha!!! Muhle umsebenzi wakho.

Maybe some years ago people were referring to what was then called "... isiNguni or Nguni culture" ... it similar to Ndebele Swazi or isiXhosa" all the way to Mozambique Malawi Zambia where there were known as"...Angoni or Ngoni...I really appreciate Prof Sithole.

HBCUs with a proud history Howard University (the black Harvard) and Jackson State from down in the M. Go JSU Tigers and Go Howard Bison!

Yoh. Lona who looks like Nkosazana Daughter is so beautiful

Tatiana told Truth to power We need to speak about a bit more

Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $18,500 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️

Americans that want to migrate to SA need to throughly learn and respect the culture because Africans do not hold back when it comes to their culture.. We're one of the most diverse countries and regions and many wars have been fought protecting our cultural heritage from Western influence so one innocent act can quickly be perceived as a deliberate act of defiance or disrespect if you lack the right knowledge , it's imperative to know that you will first have to white wash everything they have taught you about us. We're highly intellectual and spiritual beings that has kept their heritage and knowledge for thousands of years our social structures are very complicated and extremely rigid

Ppl are mad that they talking about Zulu culture , there's nothing wrong about people of Zulu background being proud... differentiate ppl between pride in yr culture and tribalism

I’d never want to go to America even if it was free

Zulu!!!! ZULU!! ZULU!! ZULU!!!✊🏿✊🏿

Im confused they live far but i couldnt tell they are not south african until they say it but i can tell when i see a zimbabwen that this is not a South African just by looking at them yet they are neighbours.something is not adding up

Wow, PostNet prints documents OTG, amazing. Each country is developed in different ways. And SA excells differently

Mr Sthole. You should visit Qcwetwayo Primary School in Mpumalanga

Thank you

Beautiful people, they give u that woosa feeling

African universities should partner on a wide scale, long term basis with American HBCUs. I'm surprised it's not happening already.

More of this please

Very good thing to do. Also as a Xhosa culture in the country after all

Man it's easy if you look beyond the spectrum of tribe and color South African people are very cool ❤

They are so sweet ❤😊

I thought they'll "the moment we stepped off the plane, the air, atmosphere, the feeling of completeness made feel we are home, where we belong, where we should be". Just a thought though

they so cute😍 tatiana with those dimples 🤣🤣, he should have also brought them to makhubenjalo🤣🤣

Tatiana is so beautiful!

Did the esteemed professor not mention the MFECANE to these two students seeing he is speaking about wars.

Beautiful to see this

wow South Africans well done we have have reputation out there

South Africa is a great country and great continent .Instead of defeating the ends to justice can we please just accept one another and embrace each other instead of the negative comments in an irrelevant platform wich is progressive and has nothing to do with the Negative agenda

in america it makes sense to study spanish as oppose to african language unless u going to be working in an area where zulu is required?.

American by birth, Zulu by blood and I'm here for the comments 🫣 Mfowethu tried to walk in UPS and print a 400 page document. Haibo that's a novel and they are a shipping company not a publishing house. Next time Bra must take the thumb drive to a proper print shop, i.e., OfficeDepot. Man, that was too funny but he's doing a good deed, though 😂😂😂😂

Beautiful

Burst down Thatiyana...🥰😍🤩😘

Thank you Mr Jobe may please take them to Mbombela as well Kruger National Park 🙏

Gape we are th next next usa in currency ❤

Preach!!!!! 10:34 ♥️♥️🇿🇦

As long as they never reach EC where they w5 hear about Xhosa people who held the line for 100years

Tatiana is most American name ever

Guys please Chill, I'm Pedi but still don't understand why you're catching feelings. Embrace your own cultures and love one another instead of focusing on zulus like this. There's a time for everything, your turn will come.

Yes we are the creators

Very great indeed, plus take them to The Revelation Spiritual Home so they can learn a lot about African Spirituality from Dr imboni Uzwilezwe Radabe ❤

oh lucky them, some zulu people that are under the king will never even meet the king....bayeze befe bembona ku TV, then some get to access him so easily. how lovely.
