What caught my attention on Teledata, was all the stolen vehicles and considering it was March 1989 and now October 2023, nothing has changed regarding theft here in South Africa and the recipe is still the same. !🤨🤔😏
I liked the new National Anthem of South Africa, made as a medley recommended by former president Nelson Mandela. The medley was made to reflect the rainbow nation of a diverse South Africa since 1994. The medley has "Nkosi sikeleli Afrika" on the first half in Xhosa and Zulu (first stanza) and Sesotho (second stanza); and "Die Stem van Suid Afrika" on the second half in Afrikaans (third stanza) and English (fourth stanza).
I noticed that a lot of the people in the credits of the sitcom were mostly English, as was the continuity announcer, with no natives. I could easily be in England.
@@DQUACK They meant the track after it, the one playing while the clock was shown. It's probably an internal track that is not released to the public, and so has no name or info.
Interesting to see how the national anthem had been "toned down" compared to a few years previously. In the mid-eighties it was sung (either in English or Afrikaans) with the words at the bottom of the screen with a backdrop of the South African flag flying against a blue sky, with (IIRC) a few shots of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. No pretty flowers or animals. And I doubt that the Rev. C. K. Paul would have been invited to do the epilogue.
No, that service was only available on TV1(which later became SABC2). Teledata, for what it was, was ahead of its time...we don't have an equivalent service on DTT because smartphones made these types of services (Red Button) redundant.
@AmongUsFan3845 Teledata is the South African equivalent of CEEFAX, which began operations in 1974 and shut down in 2012 on the BBC. SABC started Teledata in 1983 and ceased operations after SABC extended to 24 hour operation in 2000.
@@SigmaRho2922 You could still pick it up until 2017 on SABC 2 Edit: The music in the background of teledata was actually audio that was being broadcast from Good Hope FM.
@@FamtechVideos Yes, the Philips tv I bought in 2006 came with Nicam stereo and Teledata. By that time the pages were barely being updated and the service was all but dead.
@@stickytapenrust6869Странно, можно было ввести государственную монополию на ТВ вещание и цензуру на антиправительственные материалы, в том числе и направленные против аппартеида.
