No place like home. When I moved to South Africa from the UK in 2008 I was psyched to see so many people who look like me. I will never leave, my spirit is freer here and I'm not considered exotic.
Cebo88 ❤️
Welcome home bro✊🏾
welcome home man
A black colleague told me the same thing about Atlanta.
@@jonlenihan4798 Atlanta is toxic it's still in the U.S. and still too many cursed people running around and the govt experiments on our people who live there. Get a clue please.
One thing I love about this channel is that he doesn’t
fabricate things. He show you what its really like and shares great information
about his destinations.
You def look South African, u blend just right in
Samuel kings Right???!!! Looking like he could be my cousin named Vhuyo/ Mandhla or Themba or something. Lol
He actually does look South African
Omg I thought the same thing
He don't look nothing like me and I was born in Durban 🤣
@@callumbush1 he doesn't have to look like u, different looks in SA :)
I grew up in Durban. Thanks for visiting and vlogging Durban. Shout out from France👊
Lets goback and build up
I grew up in durbs too and also now live in france...not many south africans in france
I'm zim but greetings from neighboring Germany
@@jonathan1391544 really, where exactely ?
6:45 Guy- "NguRubber Man. A man of a miracle. Indoda ebhala nangezi nyawo"
Random spectator -"ekade yagcin' ukugeza"
Guy-"Ngiclean ngiclean, bheka" LMAO, I wasnt ready
I did not expect that comment about ukugeza😂😂
Ey ngake ngahleka 😂😂😂😂
That killed me too bruh 😂
😂😂😂😂 that part is hilarious
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Jermaine for your video! Always interesting to see the places you are visiting and to hear your thoughts. The pipe on the beach is used as part of a project to replenish the sand which is being washed away by the waves. Unfortunately the project has not been very successful. Beautiful weather! Thank you! Thumbs up!
You are so happy there. Thanks for another great video.Peace out.
Yo you went to Africa by yourself, I’m totally going to Africa after watching this video
If you interested to visit or move to SA, checkup @TheRealSouthAfrica TH-cam channel owned by USA expats living in SA. They will show you SA u didn't know exists. They will help you with your bookings/VISA. You can also email them at info@therealsouthafrica.com
Finally a place where you're not made to feel like an "outsider". Sadly, we get the "outsider" vibe even at home in the US. It sounds refreshing to be there!
When are you moving there?
@@holgerd5242 It's not really that easy to immigrate places - not sure if you're aware? But you shouldn't have to move to not feel like an outsider.
Unfortunately brother we didn't walk in we was kidnapped and brought in so that's one of the reasons why we don't feel at home cause it's not our home
@@dwillis55dw Slavery is evil and the victims of slavery suffered terribly, no doubt about that. You, however, are not a victim of slavery. Your ancestors may have been, but not you. Actually, by being born in America, you have been given opportunities that the descendants of those who stayed in Africa can only dream of. Do you honestly believe that you would have been better off by being born in Africa?
@@private9260 If being part of the majority in your country is the only way for you to not feel like an outsider, I guess you should start applying for citizenship in an African country, Liberia for instance. You can start out by reading this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberian_nationality_law
Wow country got more more more beautiful homie love it jeremaine my friend
Thanks bro for showing the world my hometown Durban. Most people think Cape town and Joburg is the start and end of SA.
That big black pipe is used to make the beach wider... a dredging ship sucks sand from behind the waves and places it onto the beach to rebuild the erosion of beach sand... we have had massive storms and our beaches in Durban has lost its width, essentially threatening the roads and buildings along the beach front...
I been a Durbanite for decades born and raised and never bothered to learn more about how beaches are maintained and the movement of sand. You have just made me want to know more. 😇. Ussualy the comment I often see from white people are always about how blacks are messing the beaches.
@@jeffnyoka4904 True that my friend.. It is often forgotten that during the 60's 70's and 80's us whites actually listed and loved black musicians including Bony M, Hot Chocolate or had mentorship figures in TV programs, like Mr T from the A-Team... or even enjoyed listening to Bill Cosby on the radio and on TV.... division is a way for "them" to control us as a Nation.... Have am awesome day further...
Oh nice, thanks for the info :O
I'm from Durban and I actually used to work at Surf Riders. I love your videos dude, super awesome.
That was so exquisitely awesome , the Father and Son acrobats - I hope you have them some money in honor of their talents 👑
I’m glad that felt like home! Finally, u went to motherland bro! As usual great 👍 vid! Thanks 🙏
Real Talk! እውነተኛው the motherland lol...
It's the motherland of the Khoekhoen and San, not the Dutch or Bantu.
@@chimnchom7493 so you show up in videos made by black people just to insult them. I hope you find peace.
That was scary and cool at the same time with those acrobatic moves...
Im really loving your vlogs.. thanks for showing us the real 'black' side of Durban and not the touristy areas. Im going to be in J'burg and Durban, march this year and I cant wait.
From a whitey ....hey awesome inspiring .. helps me get back home ..from the east... laugh if you must... I wished ... I was black in my home town of Durban ..if i can get back ..one day..
Yo Durban is my hometown make sure you try out durban bunny chow they have vegan option also.but be careful walking around with that camera of your. but i wish i was in SA i was gonna take you around to visit Victoria embarkement,Eyadini,Oribi gorge,Umhlanga ,Gateway mall,Phezulu safari,Drankensberg,Nelson mandela capture site.
Will you take it easy with such stereotypes
All those places & no Shaka Marine World? and its like less then 1 kilometer from where he is.
@@koalabear9110 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
He should come to bluff il take him around.
But i was made to think Durban is Indian owned and controlled by Indian population?
I'm sad that it's now that I see these awesome videos. I'm happy bra that you visited RSA. You're welcome and I'm sending huge hugs to you that's our African way of greeting.
Enjoy watching your globe 🌎 trekking videos.
I hope to see you in Angola next we are one of the fastest developing countries in Africa
Wow you are so beautiful!
DEATH TO THE MPLA
And I hope to see you in Durban😍
It's very cool of people to leave stuff in boxes. Nice way to be thoughtful to others. I'm sure the girl that doesn't buy her own food and eats from the boxes must have found away to pass it forward to other travelers. I'm going to think about how to pass kindness to others in a hostel or airbnb (kindness from the host) forward... ;)
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing...
Im glad you enjoyed. Made me miss Dbn sooooo much
I love you for this Jermaine!!! This has made me feel so much closer to home♥️
Loved your explanation about how good it feels not to be different! Thanks.
I'm from South Africa, Durban 😁. Theres so much more to see here.
Like Gateway , Pavilion , Umhlanga Rocks
I was missing home and looked for videos of Durban. Thank you! Cannot wait to go back. Glad to hear you enjoyed Durban.
You don't look foreign at all.
Yeah I literally subscribed cause I thought he's from S.A too, but it was on a video where he was talking about the US n how they run oil
AstronautDreams his accent is clearly American
@@c0t556 looks jackass not sounds
I swear I see you in TH-cam comments at least once a day
That "this is Africa" at 05:50 Sounds like you were waiting for something like that to happen... Sounds very anticipated
4:50 that’s the same thing Jermaine told that Swiss girl 😂
😂
He misses her 😂
More from the SHOWMAN from the beach.Loved it....Very talented...
👍💯 Welcome to the Motherland!
U look right at home bro.... glad u finally got to the Motherland😁
Alicia Cody motherland... lolll
@@chimnchom7493 racist pig🐷🐷🐷🐷
sphephelo sokhela bro stfu I’ve bet u have never even been to Africa
@@chimnchom7493 I'm a ZULU from south Africa DURBAN north(Inchanga) so what are you talking about?
Putchie what’s funny? Blacks feel at home in Africa just like every other race feels at home in their own continent/region. I think we can all still be on friendly terms, have good trade, tourism, working abroad but still keep the native culture.
You didn’t even have to see the best side of Durban , but still enjoyed it ... that’s how amazing this city is
You’re home. African is home, where we belong.
Wear a cap for a day. It will. 'train' the stray braids..speaking from experience
So true. I brush my hair back off my forehead, no part, I'll wear a hand band after washing it for a while.. and bam.. take off headband and hair has gotten the idea of how to stay/shape
6:57 "eKaate ya gcini ukgeza" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol South Africa happy souls 😁😂😂😂
Really great footage I seen today
6:39 he says to you "keep filming my brother, I've got a lot of tricks to show you" but sounds friendlier in Zulu
Thank you for the translation :)
Yebo
Africa home of the big black pipe
No wonder the women got smiles on their faces.
@@kgaoletsaDNA0 wat did Robert Mugabe say.."we not gays" Africans
Oh and I do plan on moving there next spring hopefully. Thanks
Tx bro, I'd have shown you lots for nothing my man. But I am so happy you did your own walk-tour, far best in order to experience a place ur visiting. Tourist routes are exactly that.
I'm pretty sure that pipe is part of the sand pumping scheme.
The beach sand along that coast tends to drift Northward (longshore drift), so on the other side of the harbour mouth (the Bluff) the tendency is for the sand to form a sand bar across the channel. (There were a few shipwrecks right in the channel in the old days, just because of that bar. It was something feared by sailors.)
The first solution to the problem was for the harbour authorities to build the two long breakwaters you might have seen if you went all the way up there. So now Bluff sand gets deflected out into deep waters, and doesn't become a problem for ships, and dredging at last became more lasting, instead of one step forward, two steps back (especially in storms - you'd be shocked at how Huge the seas get round Durban when the weather turns rough.)
Problem with this solution to the problem at the harbour is that longshore drift continued North of the channel. So the Southern beaches were being gradually scoured away, and were becoming narrower just as the number of beachgoers was increasing. So enter the sand pumping scheme. They pump sand/seawater slurry from the Bluff side of the channel, and pipe it to the Southern beaches (there are apparently a few outlets, some of which have fallen into disrepair in more recent times). The beaches you see are much, much wider than the original natural beaches.
Oh and in the other video you were wondering why people only swim in certain places? Because they're only allowed to swim there. The life savers swim out to the backline in the morning, and figure out where the rip currents are. All along the coast there are periodic rip currents that will pull even the strongest swimmer out to sea. If caught in one, don't try to fight it. You can't win that fight. Any swimming you do must be aimed parallel to the shore, and not landward, and I think it might be safer to just wait. Because the current doesn't exist in a vacuum. At a certain water depth, it circulates round back to shore, so if you just sit there and let the fishes nibble your toes for a while, the same current that dragged you off will bring you back. Or let go of you, and allow you to swim back safely (just aim for the people - they're in the safe spot.)
Between Durban and Cape Town which is safer.
Love your videos of your visit to my home town Durban! You are a natural with the camera...and btw I grew up in Durban and yes its not like Europe with masses of tourists, our secret.
Bro fully wearing a Gucci bag I’m SA😂
you should learn Zulu ,that we be super cool
Come to Cape Town bro, You can stay with me for free,
I just want to say, it's so awesome to see a man so welcoming and kind to his brother. May God bless you and keep you :)
Hey yo been seeing your video's ever since I've subscribed thanks to Jermaine
6:42 "ekade yagcina ukugeza"
I’m from NYC my gf lives in Joburg, she buys weed out there and smokes it up. I can’t wait to get there this year. We getting high all day.
10:10 True brother , I live in Durban and I'm sure I would've walked past you without even noticing you're not from here.
@Bashie Nashie its zulu lol
I think you chose da wrong hotel .. Durban has some of glamorous hotels
So clean compared to US cities
I live close to durban and have been going there for many years - not as clean as the video shows - the centre CBD is very dirty and has many drug problems. Beachfront area is very beautiful tho
Jason Steyn yep, but Johannesburg is much cleaner compared to Durban
Barbara Garden even compared to Europe streets
@@jimjerry1525 Definitely. I live in London and was in Pretoria and Durban over the summer. They are much cleaner cities than London.
Jason Steyn I don’t know what American city the guy has been to but the major cities are clean
Awe J' Bru...you remember the Dude that asked you if what you got there was a Go-pro or something.....in the part where you're filming the "Miracle/Flexible man and his son Phila...." By the beach....that was me mannn and had no idea you weren't even from around (Leave Side You Were A TH-camr.).....you looked and soundes like someone from my artsss campus....bigupssss🤝👍✊🤝🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm vegan so it's good to know it's vegan friendly in case I ever go.
Cool hair style 😎
👏🏾twice! Bazokuphuca leyonto oskhotheni. Bruh wake up.
Wow that's so cool, BTW that supermarket u where in "superspar", is in fact a German market. It mean super save (save money). They also exist here in Germany under the name Tegelmann :)
6.57 Peformer: Indoda ebhala nangeyi nyawo...Lol..Spectator: ekade yagcin' ukugeza....kwaaaa
Easy Dick 😂
Hayi wena sugeza😁😁😁
@@donttextanddrivegm642 lol..Ndigeze ngokwenza nton sana?
This video made me miss home 😭😭😭😭
The beach is the tourist area😂😂
Jermaine go to UShaka Marine World!!! South Beach...u can walk
Dude you have to go tk umhlanga it's so nice it's a town in durban
This city gives me a lot of, la/mami vibes, except way cleaner streets, no smog, no ads or billboards, and the beaches definitely look cleaner too
Welcome bro... It's strange to look at my hometown on screen like this... not sure if I like it or not! I think I'm just used to it... hope you had a great time though.
True
Keep traveling to countries Africa and explore it. I love this videos
It reminds me of a hostel in San Diego were I once stayed a night ut I forgot the name of it
No one will give you looks, because you are your roots from
YOUR ACCENT IS DOIN IT DOIN IT DOIN IT WELL
I come to gigs at that hostel in the courtyard and my friend worked there. Crazy small world!
what is the name of the hostel ?
@@lekholokoelekotsoanamoloi9593 Use to be called Banana Back Packers.
Thank you 🙏🏽
You look cool. Hairstyle's awesome🤩 You can try yourself as an actor easily I bet. Thank you for an awesome vlog, that really hurts to hear some things you say about how different it feels in Africa in comparison with back home. My Israeli friends originally from Russia and Ukraine said only going back to Israel makes it feel like home without that even slight but always undercurrent hostility and notice who you are, and constant putting up with usual jokes, stupid abusive phrases ingrown into the language, up to really badly dangerous attude among someone who doesn't have highest IQ. That makes me so frustrated and angry people have to experience that. There's no place like where you can find and feel your roots, that gives you strength, reload and a eagle's point of view. Great vlog! And thank you for your point of view and your way of thinking, that's precious.
My hometown. Now I miss home watching this video! 😭😭. am really curious about the place you slept at...what's the name? Looks good and decent.
Can't beat some bok on the braai mate!
MELANIN WITH MELANIN....SOME PEOPLE HATE WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE...MELANIN.....OUR GIFT FROM THE UNIVERSAL CREATOR...BE SAFE JERMAINE.
Thanks for coming to my city
Are you going to any other countries in Africa? Loving that you're "home".
dude durban rocks nice video i enjoyed it
Kigali, Nairobi and Dar Saleem is next for you.
Dude, i need you to come back to Durban asap. You haven't seen as much as you could have seen. The nighlife, the bush, the hoods, the safari and all. Just hook me up when you come back i will take you all around the you will enjoy much more that in this video
email: thami.duma@gmail.com
how was surf riders- vegan burger- we get that and the shroom burger all the time. So how was it...honestly
That heckler at 6:53 😂😂😂😂
Good shit Jermaine.
bro am nt sure abt your bugdet bt they are many nice places that u could have went too in Durban, except south beach,. e.g south coast casino, gateway shopping center, pavillion mall , moses mabhida stadium, ballito, zimbali.
Cool beans
Love Durban. What area would you recommend for an active older sister from NYC . LOVE MY PEOPLE😁😁😁
What type of lifestyle would love to live here ? There is everything.
Why is your name Durbanite ?
My home town ✊✊✊🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
And yo got to gate way mall for some shopping there is also Starbucks and Krispy Kreme it’s close to where you stay
why people in africa live happier than usa?
The us can be oppressive not even just for black people.
South African people are SUUUPER cultural and chilledddd
Happyness is a state of mînd.
@Brad Smith lol I wasn't aware how unhappy we all were. Lol I highly doubt the accuracy and legitimacy of this report
@Brad Smith that report isn't a fact, nor is it accurate. Name 50 people you know who participated in that survey? I mean what parameters did they use, was every demographic from every part of SA included? Besides the fact that European standards vary from that of African, judging by what they looked at on the reports its catering more for a European market. Nothing on there about living an outdoor healthy lifestyle, taking walks to the river, fetching water and cooking over an open fire. That report is subjective if anything so no booboo, not facts. FYI, if you're unhappy.... No one is holding you prisoner here.
Big black pipe , pumps sand from the Harbour to the beach.
What is the name of the hostel you were staying? Was it through airbnb?
Omg omg omg how long are you staying !!! I want to meet you so badly
Jermaine where do you get this hostels online?
Simphiwe R The me of his one is Ambassador House Check it out on Google
It's called Curiocity.
Curious...Do you get vaccinations when you travel?
That hostel looks nice. I dont know if I'd want to stay there or a hotel though. I'd rather stay in a hostel if I was on a trip with a large group of friends
Looks like a really nice hostel.
