What they are singing in the end is actually a medley of old Cape songs. The original full song seems to be forgotten. I can vaguely remember the old people singing a fuller version when I was a kid.

Firstly, the original Alabama of Cape Town was a small sailing vessel that traded between Saldanha Bay and Cape Town often carrying a cargo of reeds used for thatching or bedding. Hence the words "Nooi, nooi, die rietkooi nooi, die rietkooi is vir my gemaak om daarop te slaap". Secondly the Alabama was, as correctly stated, a vessel of the Confederate States during the American civil war. The vessels she attacked were all ships of the USA merchant fleet so her activities were not indisicriminate, but focused on shipping of the Northern States. Her crew did not necessarily benefit from her activities. She was moored in Cape Town harbour at one point, hardly the actions of a pirate.

Amazing video! Thank you!

Well researched!!

Love this

Wow thank you,im here in uvongo

Kim, Dion and Alistair...and the rest of the team...keep up the good work... Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us...

Desde Buenos Aires muy buen video.nuestros origenes musicales en parte somos agradecidos a Africa.

Wow! Am I glad to have stumbled upon this video. I have always been a great supporter of the Cape Minstrels and love their type of "happy" music. Kim, to you and the team who made this video, a big thank you from this ukulele playing fan Happy Tweede Nuwejaar.

Lovely! Thank you … passing it on 👏🏻🤗💙🌷

Beautiful place as West Coast towns go, but I've never seen so many unfriendly people in one place. Definitely not a nice, small friendly town.

I want to move now, kkk. Thanks for a great video

Just watched a local Indonesian "true story" ghost story channel about a naked male ghost which haunted a Moslem religious school whose penis is as long as 3 meters. Immediately I thought perhaps a tokoloshe got lost in Indonesia hahaha....

Thank you for this beautiful documentary of Kalk Bay. I feel quite homesick now. Aroha from Aotearoa.

You are so wrong Schaapen island is in the Langebaan lagoon. Dassen island is just off the coast at Yzerfontein😮

Awesome thanks guys.

Its a curse here in NSW Australia

Maybe, by 3023, Capetonians will have learned something about pronunciation. Wonderful what they do to Tikoloshe, Llandudno, Brackenfell and, of course, Thibault. Anglophones just cannot help themselves. They won't even try, sadly.

So interesting, never knew about these mining adventures !

Hello my name is tyren eksteen and yes im family of Fredrick "eysle" Eksteen ive now i have a story for you my family sold the house many years ago not sure how much money was it sold for tho but i do have information that might lead clue hunters back to the manor in Fredrick's dad's diary (yes he had a diary) he wrote he left money on the property for his family to find leaving only a riddle " with the house light's shine and the gate's close only the key of gold can fined the door" now i can not confirm or deny this story i lost the book but i can provide conformation if anyone is interested now i might have another idea where the gold is kept there is a old celler on the property where a worker went missing 5 months before Fredrick fell with his horse friend i have no clue where it could be only that it's somewhere outside the manor

From my understanding, there is a painting in Den Haag that depicts Jan van Riebeek pretty much as he appeared on SA banknotes. for a long time.😊

This is a terrible representation of Kalk Bay. Please learn your history.

God bless SA, I am moving to CT next year 😊

@5:56 you mention the Acacia trees. Do you know which species of Acacia this is? You also mentioned traditional healers using it for medicinal purposes. I could not find any information about this online and was hoping you could tell me more about how this medicine is used or for what purpose. I am doing a personal investigation.

DONT BE FOOLED- I had my car carjacking and stolen there recently and was taken for a 1 hour drive around Cape Town by 3 men armed with knives- all they got was R300 . May look nice but there is organised crime in that area. What about my car you may ask, well SAPS Bellville South impound lot is refusing to release my vehicle, because they have a reputation there for stripping or selling stolen vehicles.Do not allow SAPS to take your vehicle under any circumstance. Tourisst avoid this area.

Just loved it...well done guys

👋👋👋👋👋👋, very informative

The majority of people is SA don't have this history of tracing 5 generations in one huge farming property unfortunately.

Wow! So interesting. Thank you, guys 💖

Eeerh ja ne. If it wasnt for forced removals, My family would still have had a house here. Now, some white asshole has it

What a delightful video! Thanks you guys!

Love the videos, just a correction, the building of the Kramat Sheikh Hassan Gaibe Shah is called a Maqaam, the person buried is called the Kramat

"Hello" from Prince Edward Island, Canada. This was a wonderful video. I really enjoyed watching it, and hope you do more. Thank you.

Thanks Dion and Kim for interviewing a "Michelin Star" chef in my opinion 🙏🏽. People over the world uses Cass's recipes. Mr Jowa Abrahams was my "sir' as we would call teachers/educators in the 70's at Athlone High Senior Secondary.(Science and PT). Mrs Cass was displaying her culinary skills way back then.. Jowa's brother Sugary also had unique culinary skills. Mr Jowa Abrahams is a senior citizen today , but back in the day he was a briiliant rugby player and member of Primrose Cricket club. . A top team in the premier league after my team Victoria Cricket Club, (SACOS teams ) 😁. (my late father in-law Ian, was honored as Life president status). Hence we had a sweet/bitter taste on the sports field.. God bless the beautiful souls of Mrs Cass Abrahams and sir Jowa Abrahams 🙏🏽👊🏽

Good to see Cass Abrahams... Legendary.. Untapped Source of Knowledge and Wisdom... Such a Humble and Graceful Lady.. Thank you WTG for this Installment..

Thank you for an insightful interview

Great whistle-stop tour!

Well I'll be... To think I used to drive this road twice daily, and had'nt a clue; Good story! It's nice to see my old home again; and yes the weather can change quick sticks!
