South Africa: A New Mayor | ARTE.tv Documentary 

10:21 the main problems here as in the rest of Africa, is obesity and lack of discipline

my grandmother, mother uncle, aunt, nephews--all speak Zulu fluently!!

You are right , not only Zulu. Other South African languages are spoken by white people where ever they are. Some white people speak Sesotho or Venda fluently.

They a lot of them in the Eastern Cape

I met a white guy in the Eastern Cape who spoke to me in Xhosa and I couldn't understand him cause i'm Zulu

Quite right. My child grew up in this area and speaks fluent Zulu as did his father.

Thanks for explaining to us.

Spot on. If he wasn't part of DA and had his own party I would vote for him.

That's true. Even the mindsets would have been different. We would not be competing on the basis of the colour of our skin.

Agreed, unfortunately, we can't change the past. We can work together now, though, to build the future all of our children deserve.

Congrats Chris I am behind you.

Wilsonvusimuzi1 I saluut you somuch you have the brainstorm thank you that is what you all need to fix the broken country together and get succesfull to leave in hamony together you standing stronger team with this Mayor God may procted you all there 🤗🙏🙏❤

The people of South Africa needs clinics. How many clinics has been burned down by the people of South Africa? I only know about my local clinic in Numzamo, near Somerset West.

@@Deontjie Deontjie i think the people in South Afrika they dont see dangerius of all these destroying Clinic which themselvers needed they keep on following EFF which is calling for Violences and damaged building sociëty which cannot be build up with one day this is terrible naïevelingen thank you for reaction

​@@lebraa9233wtf are you fucking failing to say bruh??! And why the fuck are you spacing twice and using letters not used in english??!?!?!?!

Nice to hear it. I hope it continues!

We had Tyrone Green In Gauteng, Krugersdorp! He was just as amazing as Chris although he didn’t speak an Venecular

May your people be protected against an ANC /EFF hi-jacking they love chaos and disorder.

Well I've just watched this, and I live in Germany! So it's definitely getting spread out! I'm so excited for next year, and really hoping the beautiful country of South Africa gets what it deserves.

The only person, really? You see a white person speaking zulu and now you think they the only option😂

He is a good leader tho hopefully he plays a bigger role in the country

Been saying this, my generation (Post Apartheid babies) will be the one's to change this country. Once all the old bastards running this country die out and the 90's and 2000's take over. It'll be a new south africa.

Too much power in a short space of time can invite jealousy. He must first earn even better results at grassroots level

Tribal leaders are very corrupt. All they care is money.

Ronstochler I saluut Chris Pappas with his whole teambuilding Leaders a Mayor for human being with Heart for people as i understand how happy their are with his members and non wealthy so thanks fully with the his helping hands imagine that ingreably thank You for reaction 👍❤

💯 Exactly

@@nomthimalunga7880 nomthimalunga7880 Thank you for your reaction together in peace better future its important SA is beautifull continent in Afrika stay safe 👍🙏❤

I agree except, as a South African I think we can do without tribal leaders. Seriously it's time to get past the whole tribal thing in South Africa.

if I may suggest: hang around Zulu people more often and only speak Zulu, you will learn it that way.

@@LethaboMatseke I have indeed started working with a Zulu speaking and have picked up some phrases.👍

@@EMFRocks now that's effort right there brother 👏👏👏👏👏

Please learn. You’re missing another world and a chance to connect to people

The propaganda video worked on you I see. The agenda is US control of South Africa. We will never join with US+UK colonialists and their illegal wars. Never.

He has found the secret to success - SEVERVE the people with honesty and dedication. ANC miss the ploy on that one and have for nearly 30 years.

Botswana is a great country too. my only problem with it is that it is land locked.

Hello. We are very proud of him too.

no wonder your leaders are busy funding asians and whytes with your tax monies, instead of empowering indigenous people....shut the pfck up....your diamonds, tourism, retail and beef industry is WHYTE AND ASIAN OWNED.....so gtfoh...

@@sararichardson737 its great because whytes and asians own botswana....lol

​@@fin2-em2mfNo, that's South Africa. Your group destroys everything it touches thanks to the ANC.

True

i understand that older black people would not want to vote for a white man because of the past, but what about younger black generations? would they vote for him do you think?

@@lm_b5080 Absolutely! I'm in the under 30 demographic and run a small local business. What he has done for black youth owned businesses has been a boon, opening doors for funding and facilitating free business development programs. These were unheard of in the old leadership, and the little opportunities that were available only benefited those who had special connections to the leadership. Along with igniting a sense of pride in our culturally diverse community, he has revived our sports and tourism sectors, which were previously neglected by the old administration. In short, despite the decades of damage and inequality that still need to be reversed from the old guard, there is a glimmer of hope in the horizon. We are tired of being guilted for not supporting a failing party still holding on to it's past freedom-fighting past. There is a great sense of a need to move on from all the race politics and get things done interms of economic development and service delivery. That's where the majority of young black voters are as we head to the polls next year!

@@lm_b5080 I would vote for him

I had a friend who grew up in Natal Midlands and spoke isiZulu before she spoke English

Don't lie.

@@mazibukomail it is not a lie

@@mazibukomail I have Indian friends from Isipingo South of Durban who speak first language Zulu second language English... Know your country

a nice anecdote from our youth in natal is that when english and afrikaans kids play together they speak zulu to each other :)

apartheid justice is what is needed....until then

Really ????

​@@truth-Hurts375they are falling for the same nonsense all over again... The DA did this before with Helen Zille in the beginning when she was kissing so many Black people and pretending to care about poor people only to bask in her privilege later

@@truth-Hurts375 yes

@@truth-Hurts375wait till he has a fire pool before you question.

What do you have against the DA, what about the EFF or ANC...?

If things become politicised the ANC and EFF might try interfere because Papas is DA member@@RU-vidGlobalAdminstrator That's the risk if the DA puts the spotlight on uMngeni. Nothing against any parties, Jacqui is just pointing out the danger.

Yes I hope the DA leaves him undefiled

@@RU-vidGlobalAdminstrator political parties in general are problematic.

@@stanleyseiti1317 true his heart and work is set in making a change. I can already tell that he is weighed down by the theatrics of political battles. He doesn't say it in many words but you can tell.

Certainly, especially doing that clicking vowel in their language. 🙂👍

he definitely grew up in d culture

Every immigrant group interested in cohesion or politics should speak the native language of the area they settle in, Rishi Sunak in Britain doesnt get credit for speaking fluent English.

@@khaltsharivist365 SUNAK doesn't give a stuff for the poor, this guy seems to help the poor ..

He most likely grew up with it and spoke it from childhood

May the Almighty protect him please💔😭

Awe the nymz

Absolutely this shows us that we are one and can make it if we change our attitudes and embrace each other.

As a 30s man from Norway, it's interesting to learn a bit about SA, and your thoughts. Takk.

The corruption and incompetency of ANC led government has not helped at all but let’s not pretend that the problems of inequality and relative deprivation are 29yrs old. It’s not like domestic infrastructure like water, sanitation, electricity, housing, quality education etc were widely available. These are centuries old problems which were deliberately engineered, and will need sober minds to take deliberate measures to fix… not this let’s all hug trees and let bygones be bygones. The fact that they voted this man to be mayor it shows that majority have no malice. Unfortunately the Mayor even if he had the best intentions is in the wrong vehicle for that. Democratic Alliance does not believe in redressing these historical injustices in particular denial of access to facilities and equal opportunities by the previous apartheid government.

Thank you, that is the message that needs to echo throughout South Africa.

Do you know that the City of Cape Town under the dynamic leadership of Mayor Geordin Hill Lewis is spending 75% of its budget this year on uplifting and building infrastructure in previously disadvantaged areas of the City like Khayelitsha and Philippi? What is the ANC/EFF doing other than making our country and people poorer? See " Budget comparison confirms Cape Town delivers the most for the poor while offering ratepayers value for money ", Giordin Hill Lewis, Daily Maverick and, " Cape Town breaks all- time record for municipal infrastructure spending ", Cape Business News.

It's pretty awesome, hey? He's gifted😊😊😊

It's more about greed and corruption than jealousy. He's upset those that used to benefit from corrupt tenders.

Kahle kahle I'm amazed too, and they forget that you can not change inherent problems over night He has done such a great job, his sincere and not misleading with empty promises His a good lad 👦 👏 I'm appoled by negative comments

We need to start looking past skin colours. Good or evil is in the heart and soul of a person it is not stuck on their skin.

@@eenigheid3186 That's how we should elect our leaders now Someone who has good intentions and interests

@@buyimncube2588 Could not agree with you more. The ineffective float into senior leadership positions. Great for their egos and but does zero for supplying them with ability they lack to do the job. Even worse taxpayers pay their salaries .

Vote DA in the upcoming Provincial and National elections so that this incredible man can become Premier of KZN and bring jobs and prosperity to the whole Province!!

Western cape is full of them

Do you know that the City of Cape Town under the dynamic young leadership of Mayor Geordin Hill Lewis is spending 75% of its budget this year on uplifting and building infrastructure in previously disadvantaged areas of the City like Khayelitsha? See " Budget comparison confirms Cape Town delivers the most for the poor while offering ratepayers value for money ", Geordin Hill Lewis, Daily Maverick and " Cape Town breaks all- time record for municipal infrastructure spending ", Cape Business News.

Yes, exactly! As the Springboks have shown us, we are much stronger as a nation when we work together!!

Please👏👏

Please vote from overseas in next year's election! You need a valid ID and SA passport and can register online if not already on voter's roll.

What's up with that vile flag?

Yes, indeed! This is one of the most insightful comments I have read on this Documentary!

Anc is embarrassing

The DA has many inspirational young leaders!! Do you know that the City of Cape Town under the progressive and dynamic leadership of Mayor Geordin Hill Lewis is spending 75% of its budget this year on uplifting and building infrastructure in previously disadvantaged areas of the City like Khayelitsha? See " Budget comparison confirms Cape Town delivers the most for the poor while offering ratepayers value for money " Geordin Hill Lewis, Daily Maverick and " Cape Town breaks all- time record for municipal infrastructure spending ", Cape Business News.

When you want see what suits you then you will compare this work done in rural areas of KZN to the services being provided in the overcrowded areas of cape town where ongoing urban migration puts severe strain on the budget and resources.

Mayb they mainly govern in white areas, cause they were voted for by those people...

70% of the Westen Cape budget is towards rural and under developed areas. Considering cost in major Cities are much higher this should be 60:40 and not 30:70. I also only heard amount the Cape Town or it may be the whole of the Western Cape, not sure but the principle applies. They are doing more than we get to hear about

Truth is the DA does not want to expand cape Town there was a report from iol about it. Secondly SA is an economy of migration plus Capetown gets money to build housing but they divert it to keep the city being a play ground for the elites

Rubbish if that was the case why are rural areas specifically black ND coloureds areas look like hell holes

Why is it impressive? It should be the norm!

@@thembakhumalo-li7bl Yes! Like its also the norm for indigenous Africans to have command of the non bantu languages. We can speak any language

@@zedianerkatwishi3930 i dont see any black people being applauded for speaking english.....

voetsek......nothing impressive about that....

It would be great for you because it's a white man.

@@vicferrmat4492 Not everything is about race.

​@@vicferrmat4492why must you be racist

​@@vicferrmat4492 Identity Politics is keeping us divided and mistrusting of one another ( like apartheid). Mandela and the Springboks have shown us that we are much stronger as a nation and get much better results when we work together to fix our problems!!

Yes, South Africans must vote for the future of the rainbow nation, not political parties that purposefully divide us with hatred!!
