Attempting to leave Zimbabwe - will they let me go? |S5 - Eps. 86| 

💯

When engaging with the border guards they all seemed to get the same feeling so many of us. This Lady is such a charmer, always with a laugh and being most respectful.

@@johnelewis203 Absolutely!

Flirting u mean Sorry thats too much

@@glywnniswells9480 Not professional at all.

She should be appalled at the boarder waiting for goods from SA to help the Zim people.

@@donaldbarber5160 totally agree. That border crossing looks horrendous. The levels upon levels of bureaucracy and stamping and passport checking seems needlessly excessive and arbitrary. People trying to justify the existence of their jobs? I suspect so.

@@jordanaus75 That happens at almost every border around d world, Noraly is showing d process 4 d first time this season. Check out d border crossing vids from previous seasons.

I think everyone is in complete and utter awe of Noraly. I know I am.

It is great that you provided the translation. You have made the episode much better with your comment!

Thank so much you take me rounds Africa I hope you will take us rounds other countinet

he's south African

This week is dubble what you see here...now the trucks blocked the way here at our border post.... some truck drivers are already in line in S.A now for 10 days !!!! Feel so sorry for them...... Zimbabwe is holding up all these trucks ....only a few a day .... get to go But So nice to see my border post on RU-vid. ....

Hope to see her again ❤️😍

That was the first time I've seen her acting even slightly flirty. That guy was trying to shoot his shot but she has heard it all before I'm sure. She is a great ambassador for the riding community. I'm always amazed/confused by her lack of helmet hair?

I don't know... He seemed kinda creepy to me.

@@AdmireM Everyone has their creepy line. She was in absolutely no danger. I'm sure she gets much worse several times a week. Well...I AM in the USA where sexual harassment isn't a disqualifier for Potus. So my point of view might be skewed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not even remotely like he was. Had a buddy that would flirt with a Nun and lots of time...it worked. Not me.

@@gailtaylor1636 Did Noraly say 'Love you long time' when she left the Casanova SA police officer? That is what I heard.

@@saigonnais That's what I heard too. She has a sense of humor.

That might also be described as sucking up. Effective but it works.

nic bike

That laugh of hers has probably saved her life on more than one occasion

Decision seconded. Much relieved.

​@@alanfoster6589 It's 2400km from Maputo in the South to the Pemba in the north where the insurgents are. She could have crossed from any point on the Moz/Zim border and would have been at least 1000km from the insurgency.

@@MartinMenge Certainly. I have a friend in Pakistan who keeps telling me how safe it is to visit there. Another in Lebanon. Noraly has taken plenty of risks in her travels. One has to pick and choose...and apparently she needs to be back in S.A. for something special, so visiting Moz was out anyway.

Yeah easier to say where you've been than where you're going...

😊

I had a minor stroke so my riding days are over ( maybe) . But I had a great run raced for 8 years rode from Chicago to Key West on many trips...so I'm good. I loved all 26 of my motorcycles and feel lucky to have had them.

That’s just it. It puts you in the moment.

The only thing missed was too little time spent in the Cape. Cape Town alone can soak up 2 weeks of travel before you leave the city. It's the best place on earth.

Danke dass du here bist

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Noraly is a "World Treasure" and she is sharing her travels with all of us. She's truly a gem for sure.

@@michaelsmorenburg-writer8480 I think many might disagree with that..

@@haydonditchburn2194 Why? CT is truly the most beautiful city on the planet.

How bad is the situation up there?

😂 I see what you did right there . I think there was an invite for the Brits to come back to Zim .

😀

@@lekholokoelekotsoanamoloi9593 imagine if this was true😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

As long as the line is for these trucks I'm thinking it's going to be days before they get in.

This is why they built the Kazungula bridge. Bypassing Zim altogether

Like Dover.

That's bietbridge for u. Eish

Such a pity u didn't go to Kariba

@@BrassLock Kipling also never actually saw the Limpopo.

@@BrassLock Sorry don't remember but heard it decades ago. He spent a lot of time in the Cape, was in Kimberley and Orange Free State where at some rail siding was shot at by Boers during the war.

@@BrassLock That is so true he must have used "poetic license" for sure. I once heard or read that Kipling once stayed at the just opened Willoughby's building (which now houses the National Art Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo) when he was in Bulawayo. I can't find my source as well so it is possible that he never actually saw the Limpopo river.

Of course people tend to be a lot kinder to beautiful women travellers as can also be seen on many parts of this video. She also knows how to compliment discreetly. So guys should not expect smooth border crossings all the time in my opinion.

Probably it's her unique, calm personality that surprises the officials at border crossing and the many checkpoints.

She just laughs her way through the borders

And in this part of world there is no man or woman riding motorbike. They are surprised to see.

She don't… You probably talking about what you do… She do the opposite… She just are natural and speak to them like they are family or friends. Don't lie, manipulate or act extra nice and slimy. Try it sometime, and life gets easier. Customs officers will see straight through bullshit, if you try anything. Then you get a lot of problems, because they think you are hiding something from them. They are usually right.

@@Gismo3333 If you’re not planning to follow our wonderful host to Africa on a motorcycle, I have no desire to respond to you. But if you are, I hope she actually see’s this comment and indulges us all in what it’s really like.

She's not speak talking anyone. She's naturally polite and friendly. People respond positively to that than fake politeness. Across Africa, good manners and respect are a currency that everyone responds to, regardless of their status or authority. You can get a lot done by simply being polite and showing genuine good manners. It's not "sweet talking", it's having good manners.

I think she's caught in to an unwritten rule when dealing with uniformed folks. Acknowledge their presence, and this descalates the situation.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing "Is she going to be able to get through?" and she just gets through like a boss!

thats the gopro field of view if Noraly's is the same as my hero5 its 3mm focal length which makes things you pass seem much closer than in reality.... but it still looked tight!

My mind thought she gonna stuck between the trucks

I'm a biker and even I was holding my elbows in as she went through that gap - proper squeaky!

@@dragonoffski4501 I was waiting for her handlebars to hit one or the other.

same and in this one I also particularly liked the song track, so uplifting!!!

Maybe it is high time they rebuild the railway line. I wonder how many days those poor truckies have to wait in line there.

@@breitie804 most of those tucks are through to malawi/zambia/congo. That's why you see that road being widened

Some trucks are now at the border more than 10 days!!!! To go to Zimbabwe . The trucks are 7 km from the border. 3 Km from the nearest town Musina .... waiting . They are now dubble and the road is blocked. Hard to be a truckdriver

@@sa777 I have great respect for truck drivers 🚛🚚 The situation at the border must be difficult & stressful. Hopefully the border will ease up the restrictions & passage will be more smoothly soon. Sending Aloha from Kauai, Hawaii 🏝🐬⛵️

I loved that music to... did not know it .. you spared me the search on internet... so thank you for naming the artist... very.. very happy with it..

Andy has it right people in all cultures recognize a good soul instant love. Thanks

Funniest thing Noraly has said so far LOL!!

As a Zimbabwean I can assure you it gets old after a while lol. I only go to the highlands for a month max then go back to Harare.

You should visit during the wet season, November to April but then you may not be able to get through the dirt roads but the landscape will be amazingly green and wider waterfalls

@@Wesley-ls5wh speak for yourself. As a zimbabwean who has lived abroad for years, l would prefer living in the Eastern Highlands than hararr or the city.

You should visit the Vumba Mountains in Zimbabwe

Looks very orderly, considering the scale of work that is done IMHO!

@@thearchibaldtuttle Its a little chaotic to be fair but hopefully it will become more orderly after the handover.

Hahahayayayqyayaay

Welcome back to SA Noraly!!!

@@tinkiehattingh947 What is the title of the lovely soundtrack? Can you please inform. It suited for the road, definitely.

@@bonkowar l read someone said the musician is Tim McMorris

The border is being rebuilt by a private company to improve the operations hence the construction work. The handover is under way.

@@shumbamutasa Great, thanks for the clarification. I did notice the new road construction as she rode in.

@@phillip1115 Yes there are a lot of detours. The road is being repaired but this is phase 1. Phase 2 is dualisation. As you can see this route is very busy.

But Cyril is a Police doing his job,that's not time to flirt with women,that's unprofessional.

I would have watched a 15 hour video… And I still wanted more…

It was fun because it's nearly empty, only open to commercial trucks. It's a he'll on earth when it's fully operational.

It must take the truckers a week to cross the border.

Right. I noticed people don’t comment on that…it must be extremely normal to delay their incoming supplies. I couldn’t either.

That was used in South Vietnam. Full metal jacket.

Couldn't believe she said that.

@@advandersnoek6280 said with 🙄🙄🙄😄😄 not to his face though 😂😂😇😇

I'm old us navy sailor went all over the South pac., never thought I would hear her say " Love you long time" I laughed my ass off.

I did a double take as well. Not sure of her meaning behind it, if any?

These people are incredible! They bring all the goods they are needed to all different parts of the world and they have to wait hours and hours for to pass! Salute and a big thanks to all these lorry drivers ♥️🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼you are amazing ♥️🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Truckers Rock!! 🚚🚚🚚🚚✊

Truck driving is a unique experience, Im glad i had the experience driving them for a while as I learnt alot about myself and life. Unfortunately people are often in a rush and forget that trucks are far bigger than their cars etc and take lot longer to slow down. you get really awesome instincts at predicting what people in cars will do before they do it to avoid squashing them when they jump infront of you! Funny enough its usually the same people who complain when their items arent on the shelves or deliveries are late lol Bikes are usually alot more aware because they understand how easily they can end up in a body bag, so they are usually as aware of their surroundings as a truck driver to avoid accidents :)

@@jamie.miller.inspiring As both truck driver AND biker I can confirm your remarks are spot-on !!

She speaks to people she never meet, like she meet an old good friend. Of course… then we come back in the next video with 10 more people. That had been super fun. 10 mill viewed on the video. Because then Noraly would be happy like little school girl, first day at school.

@@Gismo3333 Yes, and I've also noticed that the Africans, they are always friendly and treat you like a friend, even when you're a complete stranger, and a foreigner. I never see that type of friendliness when traveling to other states here in the U.S. Everyone is stuck up and scared of strangers.

@@trevorjameson3213 Try go to the south. Maybe Mississippi… Down there they are really friendly, I have heard. But never been there my self, not even been to America. I would like to go to South America. Looked so nice down there, in the video's with Noraly & Dhanno. But it is so stupid expensive to send a bike. And its not the same renting a bike. Like to have my own bike.

@@Gismo3333 ​ @Trevor Jameson In Africa they normally look for bribes. The Zimbabwean border posts are legendary for demanding money or you sit there forever. Then there are many roadblocks where more bribes are demanded. There was a video on the Internet where a black guy was pulled over at an army roadblock. He was wearing a camouflage T shirt and was shot in the head and left on the side of the road.

@@JackSmith-ou1dg u must be a South African.

I agree😃 Well-said!

That is not correct. Zimbabwe is not South Africa's largest trading partner in Africa neither is it the second largest. South Africa's largest trading partners in Africa are Botswana, Mozambique & Namibia in that order.

Trading partner and dumping grounds are different things altogether. Zimbabwe is the biggest trading partner of SA the rest are consumers of SAn products.
