Raised in Exile (Part 1) | Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja - Episode 7 | Season 1 

Wow, thank you all so much for such an amazing show! The gems I picked here are priceless! I also grew up in exile in Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania and now I understand why I make friends so quickly and can move to any part of the world and adapt. Wow!

Wow, it's so wonderful to hear my home village Mochudi mentioned here and the role we played during the struggle of South Africa

Lebo you doing Lords work. I absolutely love your channel. You are a great interviewer, keep it up . ❤️

I’m in the US and South African . Gosh I know the feeling of receiving South African goodies. It’s feels like Christmas

I love hearing my maiden name properly pronounced ❤️

This hit home, like for the first time I feel free that I'm not alone

Omg, I live in the UK and what he described was exactly what I've seen and felt whilst living here. I crave the feeling of sand. I crave seeing it, smelling the soil when it rains. Here none of that ever happens really. Theres is barely any areas with soil or sand. Unless it's a wild park or like the beach. Touching the soil only really ever happens of you are privileged enough to have a garden with soil in it.

Its Lebo's energy for me

This has been so interesting to watch. Ausi Relebogile is so right, society has a tendency of glamorizing the concept of exile. I think it's quite an injustice to the life experiences of people such as our guests over here. It just undertones the struggles that they also had.

Leaving a register Fr another beautiful topic 🎤🏆🌹Lebo u r winning

This provides such amazing insight and perspective into a time that some of us don't quite understand. Thanking the show for the topic and a huge thanks to the guests for sharing your experience with us.

Wow! Thank you both for sharing your stories. I was enthralled from the jump. We need more of these perspectives. I cannot wait to watch part 2!

I honestly thought that Lebo Mashile just loved the American accent😂😂😂I didn't know the reason behind it.

Woow, I can relate to how he feel about sand, I am in the US now and I miss the sand back home in Namibia, it’s the ground is cover up by grass, pavements and roots. I miss walking barefoot in the sand. It makes me feel connected to the earth, I miss the feeling of sand under my feet, I miss the sound of the rain when it hits the actual ground.

These guests get it.

Awesome topic you guys👏🏾

Thank you so much, I live and raising my child in a foreign country- it may not be exile but there are some things that I am drawing and learning and being conscious of for her. She misses home so much and adapting to a new country. The weather part I totally agree with it.

You are better than Oprah!! I love your show.

Lebo's talk about South Africans in America reminds me of 1996. I was in New York and I managed to get an invitation to the embassy to celebrate freedom day. I was amazed by the poverty and the suffering of some of the South Africans who were living in there at the time.

Demet, i glamorized exile, going to netherland, uk, usa, i mean...
