The ethics of a bribe and why we do it
มุมมอง 1.4Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This video explores the complex ethics of being forced to pay bribes whilst being against bribery. This is widespread in South Africa and we risk building a culture of bribery, as found in nations such as Nigeria and others. In this video, we look at the kinds of bribes people engage in, why they're not seen as equal and how people justify them. From paying off traffic police to bribing for bas...
Doomed to fail: why football can’t keep up with rugby
มุมมอง 55K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The history of rugby in South Africa has set it up well, while the history of football or soccer has doomed it. In this video, we learn how about the reality of the 2 sports and how their trajectories have led to this current reality. PS: Springboks is the national rugby team and Bafana Bafana is the national football team - all men's. #springboks #bafanabafana 0:00 - We’ve got a problem 0:50 -...
Why we all need the Informal Economy
มุมมอง 4.7K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
In townships around South Africa, many rely on jobs in the informal economy to make an income. This is a look at one such job, washing cars, and its impact on the people of a community and the local economy.
Sports Betting: a quiet pandemic
มุมมอง 2K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
We learn about how online betting companies such as HollywoodBets and Betway have become huge in South Africa. We need to talk about the concerns, which go beyond addiction and the Durban July. South Africa needs to implement regulations that work and look out for the youth, who start gambling as teenagers. This video explores this subject and I invite an epidemiologist to share some thoughts o...
Why we have abandoned buildings in the capital city
มุมมอง 48K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Abandoned buildings in the city of Tshwane, aka Pretoria or Pitori. I look at the story of Schubart park, from Apartheid to democratic South Africa. In future, I'd like to do a full-on documentary on this subject matter, looking at urban decay and the impact on people's livelihoods. Schubart Park is a story of social housing and urban renewal gone wrong. It exemplifies the legacy of Apartheid i...

Soccer is boring.
This is too proper 🔥
No cap detected 🧢 this is the South Africa we live in 👎
South Africans prefer to Bribe to get a driver's licence rather than learn how to drive
In God's eyes it is wrong!!! Sin is sin. If you can be trusted in small things, you cant be trusted in big things. Read your Bible
yes!!!
So when does it cross over to extortion? We all know there are some laws and regulations with punishment that really don't fit the supposed crime. For example cannabis, you had law enforcement actively looking for peaceful people in possession of this, then threaten them how they are going to lock them up and you will get a criminal record, contribute to you losing your job, they will threaten you with this, unless they can drive you to the closest ATM, you draw some money for them to make this all go away.
I have a similar experience but different. I was raided while parked. I Had way less than the legal limit to possess but they confiscated it. I’ve decided to never travel with it because they’ll twist it and extort me.
The men's rugby team has white people in the management making sure racism is not practiced Soccer is managed by black people that's why it's slow in progress even though they have the resources
As a man who pays bribes every 2 weeks, I know its "wrong" but I appreciate the fact that our cops don't rush to arrest you for things like breaking the speed limit etc. My car is really fast and if I got a ticket or arrested everytime I break the speed limit, I feel like that would be petty 😂.. I like that we can bribe, but I know and accept that its wrong 😢
Bro flexed on us while admitting to bribery🤣
Good video not saying any sport bad lets help each other
Thanks for this! Bro, that Loyiso Gola clip on “cool drink”, where is it from? 😂
It's from a Netflix film, "Republic of South Ah sh*t". My bad, I should have put the source in the video.
Bribe is not good at all it kills our nation I think we must learn just imagine you don't even qualify for the particular job just because of a bribe you get a job easy 😢 Traffic police department SAPS Municipality jobs those sectors are rotten to the core you can't just apply for a job there you must first find who is the person who give access so that you can pay a bribe that's a shame if you don't have something for a bribe eish thing of a bribe on a serious note kills our country very badly 😢😢😢 let's fight this pandemic thing we are going nowhere with this tendency of paying bribes
I really enjoy your videos. I hope you get much bigger, would love to get longer videos diving deeper into each topic!
Remember kids, if you play dumb for long enough pretending not to know what a bribe is the official that is soliciting a bribe from you is watching their colleague in the next lane collect 3 bribes from other unsuspecting suckers. Once they've asked the question they are on the back foot and you just have to play dumb for long enough for them to get exasperated and chase you away so that you stop wasting their time... Works every time ;)
This! When is your TED talk? I will attend for more life hacks.
Cost of doing business
Eish. What a sad reality
Just saw your video on TikTok and wow, the production quality deserved a sub from me. Please keep up the good work 💯
Good stuff man keep it up
A 13 minute video where you never once addressed the SAFA's vast history of corruption and abuse of power. Rugby, rugby culture, parental attendance at games have absolutely no chance of effecting anything regarding football when the national football association is corrupt at every single level from top to bottom. The money to make actual effective change possible is available, it just dissappears into to pockets of those im charge who face zero accountability for their failures, under performances and misuse of funds.
Hi. This is fair criticism. I deliberately chose to not make this the story of corruption, even though I do allude to it when I talk about "pay to play" and the Danie Jordan imagery. For this video, I was particularly keen to understand sporting culture, how it plays out, what's happening on the ground and its effects on development, before we even get into the systemic issues of mismanagement of funds and so on. I will be doing a follow-up video to this and actually looking at the systemic issues e.g. what happened to the world cup funds for development, and also looking at the people who are currently working on making football better in S.A. I hope you'll stick around for that. I'd be keen to get your feedback.
Rugby is a physical sport , Football is a technical sport . Problem is our Football structures focus more on the physical aspects instead of the technical and tactical aspects . 90% of teams don't play with tactics . Most coaches don't train the team on how they should play , build up , defensive shape , pressing , in possession shapes . All they do is jog , jog , jog , stretch , play few rondos boom training is finished . When it's time to play they be telling the players to do things they never even trained for .
Everyone calls it "urban decay". It's more social economic division. No money for the cost of living. Nothing gets done....
Hope none of you guys mind but I just want to say some(i'm also a fellow South Africa) There are some problems in certain black communities,I live in a just about above middle class neighborhood but I go to black(an underprivileged school),I love soccer,the school has been here for over a hundred years but the school they only had a their first match against another school in soccer a few months ago(2;3 or 4 months ago),this year I joined rugby from football and it was a fun experience,we even played a game against another school,we had two games,one for the under 10's and 11's and one for the under 12's and 13's and I played for the under 12's and 13's nad in the first game we won the and the second game the scond lost the under 10's and 11's game 15-25 but the game I played was for the under 12's and 13's won 85-0,last year in grade 6,I was shadowing a grade 7 student and that student was always with the grade 4's in tye morning and on the passage gate duty and the things I heard a lot from those grade 4's and I mean a lot,I mean cursing,I heard on of thr grade 2's call my friend 'shortie',I mean it,they actually called her a shortie,when the schools practice the school practice for when the school does lost distance,high jump and etc,I forgot what we call it now but we the school goes to play against other school's we always have a advantage and disadvantage,the disadvantage is that when the school goes to play against other schools is that they don't really expect our school to do well but when our school do well they're surprised,the advantage is that the school's opponents always under estimate our school then we do amazing,the school isn't all bad,every class has at least one class party. I hope you guys don't mind me talking about my school for a little bit so bye😅
The football damn there's no room for whites and coloreds and especially in the national team the ruby is mixed and diversed that's what makes them the best ruby team in the world but the soccer lol
The Rugby culture in S.A breeds elite athletes who play for pure competition and pride for their nation. The football culture is much more lackadaisical and the players are more interested in being "superstars" than true elites. Rugby players in S.A play for glory always and forever. The mindset elevates the sportsmen.
Nahh man football should be canceled in South Africa bafana bafana are the most useless team in the world they get paid to lose everytime what kind of a team gets happy just for playing in a tournament when most teams want to win football is a waste of time in south africa bafuna ababtu abakwazi ukujika and forget about the scoreboard #Cancel south african football
I need you to consider the Football governing body too. they are still the same people from when we won the Afcon cup. Rugby Union we replaced the board. why are we not replacing the board of SAFA? i feel if we start there with a board thats neutral. that will run football and work for the PEOPLE not the owners of the teams. than the gap will narrow.
Simple, SAFA and parents are to blame.
Let's be honest we don't have to sugarcoat it. This is South Africa. All state schools gets the same funding across our country. I've been in the education sector for 14 years now. The fact is most white Afrikaans schools are governing the school correctly and properly with no corruption putting the students first. I've given schooling in 2 African English schools and must say the difference between a white school and black school is majorly different from eachother. Black schools are heavily corrupted and the funding goes to pockets not for the school development. Corruption is the key to the failure of these schools. Afrikaans white schools are beautiful clean and respected. The black english school down the road in the same town looks like a place for street dogs. The school is broken down, no windows, weak plumbing. The grounds and sporting facilities are awful. The white school has a swimming pool a gym a excellent sport grounds because white schools have less or no corruption. That's it that's the only reason for these differences aka CORRUPTION.
You keep mentioning history, but during the later part of apartheid the football league was very professional and a lot more competitive and exciting (have a look at footage from that era, packed stadiums) .. Also the fruits of all of that was shown when we won the Afcon and qualified for the World cup 2 years later and again in 2002.. I'm sorry but football was well run in the early years of Democracy because the people cared.. I do agree with the other points you made but it's really simple, football has been run into the ground.
Even their salary is not the same. OK to become a springboks you must be proper developed. They monitor you from primary school to varsity cup. Not like safa cz they don't have structures
No offence my guy you are comparing two different sports, which are run differently, not only locally but internationally as well. Its a dead argument for me because you also have to check the history of both sports to get an odea of how they ended up where they are...
The video is great, but it lacks the most important point in that the money is there, but it does not get to what its meant for. So the culture and legacy argument falls flat and are being used as an excuse. Also the part about the parents involvement. I agree, if the parents don't have the finances to attend football to support the kids then yes, history and legacy has a role. But, this is not the whole truth. I was involved in coaching sports at a very well run public primary school in a rural community that was 50% white and 50% black. The majority of the black parents are absent when it comes to support and giving time to their children. The parents just drop the kids off (in luxury cars) and leave. This was the case with everything, including rugby.
Soccer is a shit sport. Much like Coldplay it's global appeal baffles me. Why on earth would you follow that steaming pile of pussy shit when you've got AFL, League, Union and NFL? Soccer will never be number 1 footy code in any country it already isn't.
No. Some South Africans just have entitlement issues. Expects it to be handed to them.
I hate our 35 year olds - 50 year olds from the townships and villages. Why has no one ever tried to get our leaders to account when it comes to such?
The why? is not that difficult to answer, the solutions is. The domestic leagues' interest is not to better the national team. No one really knows the pathway to become a professional soccer player or how to get into a PSL side. Schools soccer not taken seriously enough. At the end of the Day, the PSL makes enough money not to care too much about change.
Soccer have 200 Federations and rugby have 25, don't be ignorant guys
It's very simple. SAFA is run by politicians who are there to line their pockets. Rugby is run by rugby specialists. If SAFA administrators cared about the sport i beleive Bafana would be dominant in Africa, but we aren't even dominant in SADC. As a sports fanatic and very much in love with football, I'm pushing my son into Rugby coz there's structure in Rugby.
Rugby is a small sport compared to football played by 8 nations. Every country in africa plays football. We have talent one of the problems tho is Development / School Soccer is dead
This is a microcosm of the wider country Rugby is run by largely white administrstors with white players and coaches and is much better run/organised, football is the direct opposite and that is why it failing QED.
Rugby World Cup is played by around 20 countries +_ Out of all those only about 10 have to professional leagues. The comparison is not valid.
Safa 🤦
My family and I was the first black family to move into Shoubart park.. Very impressed with this documentary.
