The World Is F@cked (Why We Are Staying In South Africa) 

100% agree

So true. We out here trying to take care of our families

This is a lie. Discrimination is IN us all. The politicians just tune the volume up on what is already there.

Exactly!

Please…the ppl of SA also keep it alive. Don’t just blame politicians. Multiculturalism does not and will never work. Keep lying to yourself if that makes you feel better.

Come back to Sunny South Africa, where we have the sun, beach, rugby, braaivleis en alles wat lekke is :-)

I know what you are going through. We emigrated in 1993 and I was so homesick. But hung in there for our children's sake. In 2001 I went back to SA, but it was no longer the country I grew up in. Perhaps it's different for people born in new millenium

Home is where we all belong. We might have our problems as the nation of South Africa, but we are much greater than our problems. We have much more good than bad and a lot to be grateful for. It's heartwarming to hear from you♥️

Aahhh...come back Sister. Your roots are in African soil. Your soul belongs in Africa. Don't be restless. Come back HOME ❤🎉

@@PMZInternational-le6rk Thank you for your great comment 🤗

You can say that again ❤🇿🇦

+1 back from NZ

So you left to new Zealand because apartheid ended and now you want to come back? I think there's no place for your kind here.

May I ask why? Is it the cost of living? Crime?

It's tough having to clean Ur own house, mow the grass wash Ur car. The weather is shit. Making friends is tough and inviting other cultures to a Barbie just isn't a braai. Their bush is green and wet and windy and frozen. Ja, rather put up with the 3rd grade nonsense here, it's kak but exciting

Robben Island..same here 😄

🤣🤣🤣🤣 classic

😂

Amen, have the same feeling - I love my country and people

I've spoken to many, MANY Europeans in South Africa, and every single one of them have expressed nothing but praise and admiration for this country. Thank you sir! 🙏🏻

Being in the tourist industry in SA, we have tons of Europeans coming here to look to settle here. Especially Germans who reckon the US has decimated Germany with their ideology! They all reckon the EU has no future.

I was born England 63 came to Africa 66. Zambia, Rhodesia Botswana here in 77. U can't live elsewhere once lived in Africa. The bush gets into you. The indigenous population can be absolutely horrendous especially in SA but gets better north. Black governments are all the same failures. Other than that, let's braai

...did you know that South Africa is a third world nation?

@@spencercourtis9371 Did you know that SA was a first world country 80-90s. In fact we had so much advanced tech and systems ahead of alot of other spaces, all run by 6 million whites and gaining so much momentum that the secret societies had to fck up and break the fast stranglehold begining to overtake Europe and USA. We owned 50% plus of the majority breweries world wide, fck u Budweiser. Our SAA was voted best airline. Our military and equipment were being sold to far flung Floyd. Our rds were the best maintained. Mnet was fast catching up to the best. Our digital growth was phenomenal after TV introduction. Which by the way was invented by a Scotsman living here and refused by the Dom afrikaaners, for good reason. Yes, we know it's third world and seriously about to become 4th . Rhodesian dollars were worth more than the rand and in 1980 you paid 1-60 u.s. for one rand. Do me a favour , ask somebody a question you have no clue about and Ur mother might fix u.

Fact !!!

We actually want you to go back there. You call Africa a shit hole, don't you?

Bless your heart.

Britain was ok then compared to now I've been here 20 years half my life and my favourite times were from cape town

@@CarmenVanreenen-t4b Time to come back :-) I was there for 3 years and it was too much... love Cape Town.

Worst summer ever, enjoy!

You are doing the right think, I lived in the uk for 10 years and hated every second of it.

No sunshine and the people are as cold as the weather ❤😂😊

That place is a real shithole

Horrible place....

You are naive show us any government around the world that is not corrupt not that we condone corruption 🤔. But we are tired of this broken record 😅Gogo/grandma from Soweto South Africa. If there is Corruption there's a Corruptor. Who has the money to fund Corruption the Black's or the White South Africans. Just do your sums. We must direct the Corruption to all of us. Stop bribing the government officials you people with money then corruption will disappear. Corruption isn't a one way street as you try to depict it. We are all involved and responsible for the Corruption.

I think we're still going through a hellscape right now

We have been in the fire for along time.

@Ravishrex1 I am talking inferno. The only way to change the country is through some radical change. Those who stand to lose will fight back.

@dandre3504 it's all relative. Depends on what you compare our situation with. Yes, it is bad compared to the past 20 years.

@@lebo3793 objectively we can say we're going through fire right now and though it stands to reason that an ultimate breaking point is supposed to bring about change its not guaranteed. Zimbabwe and Venezuela are good examples of that. We can only hope and pray for good leaders to bring us out of the mess we're in and I think the pressure we've had to ensure for 30 years under the anc has brought enough will for people to want to do better.

Truthful statement.

Absolutely. It's OK to travel overseas, but live there permanently is different.

I always get frustrated how Europeans and Americans don have freedom, even in what they call democracies. As a South African, am used to my liberties in my country and I can't imagine living with the restrictions in Europe and America. And as South Africans, we love our freedom and we are always ready to fight for it. I definitely wouldn't survive outside of my country ☝🏾😂😂😂

@PMZInternational-le6rk I worked in the States for a year, and as an older South African, was the level of control when compared to here. Australia and NZ are even worse as I discovered during an extended visit. Within chaos is freedom! 😁

So true, South Africa is one of the best and cheapest countries to live in

A wise decision ,good for you Louise 🌹

Been back 2 years myself. I still cant adapt to SA. In the 4 years I was gone it has deteriotated significantly. I get their point. But my experience is not what is being said on this podcast

They don know out there what it means to be African. We have our issues, but we are more blessed than one can imagine. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

In 1999 I went to Angola for business. I was so traumatized 😫 by the way of life there in Luanda the stench to such an extent that when I arrived in the then Jan's Smuts Airport kissed the ground and vowed not to complain about South Africa again and I haven't. South Africa 🇿🇦 is the best and I have traveled all over the world except Australia. Let's make it work and stop being haters for South Africa 🇿🇦. Love South Africa 🇿🇦. Thanks for promoting patriotism we need more people like you. If you travel you will open your eyes to new ways of life. Gogo /grandma from Soweto South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤😂😊

@@maureengarrine4682 don't be so r@cist. The stench is most likely because the population doesn't have access to clean water to bathe in or to luxuries like soap etc. You have no idea how privileged you are. 1.3 billion people in the world don't have access to clean drinking water.

African you are not bur South african indeed you are. A Namibian can be Japanese but never asian no matter for how manu generations he have been there. Your ethnicity will always stay with you: european. Whites in Africa do not know what it is to be african. Same for arabs in North africa.

Jy weet jy praat kak.

South Africa is fine as long as you make over $2000 a month. If not its a pretty tough place to live.

Have you seen the top 4 political parties? You are not overcoming anything. Only a rich person would say this.

That's because you live in a bubble protected with high barbed wire. It's like saying are safe in the middle of Ukraine because you have a bunker and patriot system.🤣 Does the majority have access to bunkers?

@@jw841it’s not just about money

Which European country do you live in? What's changed?

Also keen to hear what’s changed

Lets hope you are in your country and don't get confused

@@RINASZ?

@warren1743 Absolutely Warren.

❤

Eloquently stated! Love you, my Brother South African.

Strange that the people who are the centre of the problem are complaining bitterly about the outcome of their invention.

EU's energy crisis is due to the Russian's invasion of Ukraine. The EU is so beholden to Russia and the only way to go is 'green'. I agree immigration is a problem but how do we stop these civil wars in these countries so that people do not need to flee. One way is for the West to stop selling them weapons. However 'bad' Europe is painted its still great to live in a place where your basic needs are met and where there is performance base employment. Obviously things are not perfect... it's wonderful to live in SA if you are rich for everyone else it's a miserable existence.

Amen..... drill baby drill....

Exactly.

Well I'd say green energy makes a lot more sense in South Africa than elswhere, due to the favourable weather conditions. But overall I agree, an over-reliance on green tech to solve the energy crisis is definitely not advisable.

@@teresalouro1615 stop with the white western guilt, they would buy from China, Russia, Iran, it's their problems.

I'm albino with an engineering degree and can relate.

Lots of opportunities 'throw at you' (by agents scrambling for those commissions) How many are actually real offers and did you get a job?

We all super excited, we definitely staying

Well, it's only because of the euphoria around the DA/ANC romance that favours your people and disadvantages the black majority. It wont last long and you will soon be packing again🤣🤣🤣

​@@0761ZoRO economic growth will result in more job opportunities for black South Africans as well.

Great thought. I just wish more felt like that. I certainly do. Go well. 😊

Absolutely. Ordinary South Africans - across all divides - are great people. It's politicians who are dividing our beautiful nation.

I love my country but the municipality suck people dry with tax for this and that.

At least you are patriotic!

Amen fellow carer🙏🏻 Would NEVER live in UK permanently!

Lol you're crying about racism yet you made black South africans endure for millennia I'm sure they feel like crying

Typical 'Irish' thing. Even if you move from Dublin to Cork you will be called a 'blow in' for ever and a day

Come home. Life is to short to stay where you are miserable.

Please come back, you'll be welcomed with open arms.

Come home. Your heart is in Africa, not that damp, miserable, cloudy hole.

So many are..

Your honesty is valued, South Africans don't have a problem with living abroad, they have a problem with abroad countries not giving them the same life they have here, which is clearly a lavish life so they get butt hurt and move back lol.

I would encourage you to remain in the Netherlands for your autumn years, regardless of how much better South Africa might be doing by that time. I find it selfish that someone would abandon a group project and then expect to reap its rewards along with those who actually stayed behind to work on it. It is also a further slap in the face of every patriotic South African that your return is conditional.

@@delaneycloete5920beautifully said, I agree.

Thanks for this comment- I’m in the UK and definitely had to ‘downgrade’ but there are benefits- as you mention, not having a constant adrenaline rush and, especially as a woman, the fear is debilitating. Had serious PTSD when I left SA the first time to move abroad- 2 family members murdered and a colleague - but I do miss Cape Town!

@@chillyman7340 exactly. Some people just return home to access cheap domestic workers. Lots of privileges being a middle class SA in SA which you will definitely not have in the ‘West’

I am in the same boat. I went to the UK and hated it. People are miserable there and overworked

You are a Zimbabwean not a South African. Go back to Zimbabwe and fix the mess you created.

@@runningman2989 I can attest. Coming home in the next 6 months.

​@@Stormer-Europaif you have a name like Europa you're probably a white supremacist, I don't believe there is a place for people like you, you being white is already being on thin ice, but I'll pretend you aren't, I will not however, overlook you being a white supremacist.

I'm a Zimbo. While there is currently no hope, if that country (Zim) kicks out those bastards holding everyone hostage we will very easily overtake SA. Why? No culture of entitlement, no endless strikes, no political violence, peace loving, non-violent people, educated population, and oodles of potential currently stifled by ZANU PF. Unlock that and Rwanda will look lie a joke... as amazing as it is.

Please don't come back. Africans are dead set to take their (our) country.

The fact you listen to people like him says it all, you're not a south african, you're a European as you've been saying since before 94, you're not from this place, and I want you to remember that.

As a South African Indian who won't qualify to live in Orania I have to admit they have the right idea and are doing well.... the lesson to learn from them is that they are doing it for themsleves, look at the community side of it and the non reliance on governemnt. We can all build such communities based on other common principles that keep the community devoted to a common purpose, they use their Afrikaans culture we could use something else.... don't throw the baby put with the bath water just because they make it Afrikaans only and we equate that with race...lets not dismiss the success story that we can learn from, if you listen to them with an open mind u will see that it's not about race but culture.... they don't let in non Afrikaans white people either so it's not race but culture.... let's take the lesson and leave out the racism....

@@The_First_Sean I will listen to people like him the proof is in the pudding, go see how well that place is running and business booming..

​@@The_First_SeanYes the rainbow nation experiment worked OK until the powers decided it was better to divide and rule.

Byron and Roman clearly both have money and I'm sure it's quite a lot of money like more than the average South African. This factor takes a lot away from their argument and what they are saying, in many cases it's hard to take them seriously but they still do make good commentary.

You must find your own way in life and definitely NOT count on politicians to do that for you. If you do that, you will have to live off scraps they throw at you for your vote. Vote DA therefore. No gov do everything right but let the WC be your example how to get most things right.

Cost of living in UK is high compared to SA. Even in 2003 when I visited there. Yes making money in pounds makes sense but not spending those pounds. Maybe if on lives there permanently, there may be cost benefits from government perspective ?? Ex-colleague who went there confirmed not easy to buy houses. SA is value for money, if only we can sort politics out.

That's true but that also helps SA , more people with money coming back gives more opportunities for others that have nothing to start something

​@@thomasVA9707 Good point.

Getting ridiculous now.

Still cheap as chips

It's because we're still paying homage to the dying dollar. It'll get better under a BRICS system. We need more productivity though!!

They mean SA is cheap compared to Europe

Yep, people say crime is the biggest issue in SA, yet it's the easiest to fix imo, just with a non-ANC majority government

France is full of Baizos/White Left. Which makes it difficult to ever fix.

😂😂😂any country who has an indigenous population from Africa, Pakistan, Muslims etc migrating in, has serious problems. However, if you had paid attention to the ruses of the secret societies you would know why they allowing it. Breaking down Caucasian culture by mashing is part of the plan. Wake up

Shouldn't Africa be for the Africans?

That's tru

@@LukeRev480 I understand nothing has changed for the indigenous Africans!!!

Do you think possibly Apartheid has done irreparable harm to the natives? Conversely, what colonialism has done to a number of peoples around the world!

@@markranger-latham1467 I think apartheid was horrible and was never right. But if you thinks it’s got anything to do with what is going on right now you either don’t know what is going on SA or you’re an idiot…

@@markranger-latham1467 Well South Africa is one of the most developed if not most on the continent...

My plan is exactly as yours, im gonna work in aus for 15 years to boost my retirement with the better pay and also if the kids want the opportunities but then I'm most probably back to retire here in SA. No way ill go to UK, USA or europe, no fkn way, i got an opportunity in canda as well but i don't want it. I do like australia but SA is just the best, just look at the people, friendliest people ever, no religious problems although we are religiously mixed, we only got idiot politicians 😂😂😂😂

You know SA will always embrace you no matter how long it takes to come back. We are South Africa and nowhere else is like our home in SA

Ek sal in my land Suid Afrika bly lekker weer, braaivles, di mense is vriendelik, n mens sien so baie emmigreer, maar na n tyd kom hulle trug, hulle kan ni aanpas om verskeie redes, maar Suid Afrika bly di beste land om in te bly ons het ons probleme, maar so het elke ander land ook. Dis ook baie duurder oorsee, ek kies Suid Afrika 100% elke keer

It's only good money if you convert it back to rand. To live the equivalent of a South African middle class lifestyle you need to be very wealthy in Germany.

@@AapVanDieKaap That is why so many South Africans move back to South Africa, is because they don't have that much privilege abroad.

Germany is in slow motion collapse. Along with the EU. What we see on MSM is not what's going on, on the ground so to speak. Will be interesting once conscription becomes law, how many parents or youngsters will be willing to fight and die. Maybe better to head far flung places to avoid the bang and try ride out the fallout.

The word "privilege" has triggered my response so i hope you dont see it as an attack. Rather my experience. A lot of people make their own privilege and it's uncomfortable for me to even say this because it's every woman's right to have a child or not, but having worked for the past two decades plus for a state hospital in a department who's patients are pregnant there were many things I realized. Most moms were single or hadn't completed their education or were still doing so. Or living at home. Didn't work etc. My question is, why so many unplanned pregnancies. Surely, if we're so poor and underprivileged, how are our living conditions improved by having, sometimes, more often than not, multiple pregnancies - but the most i saw was 10 children and the other 14. Imagine If those children attending school and noticing what other children from 2-children families have, they will no doubt feel envious or underprivileged. How much does it cost to raise a family, to provide housing, food, and clothes, medical care, transport, entertainment. Again, I repeat it's every woman's right to have a child but i think the timing of having that child is important. I don't want to explain myself ad nauseum for others to see the bigger picture and the correlation between family planning and privilege but it's there. Privilege is something we can create. No child asks to be born in poverty because it will surely lead to being underprivileged.

You must have been in New York, California, Illinois, or one of the east coast states. There is plenty of freedom everywhere else in the US

It's a safe and clean country.

Recently saw a RU-vid video of a couple, one German and the other Kenyan. The German wishes to live in Kenya but his wife, the. Kenyan prefers living in Germany.
