      Just because you don't know or hear something for the first time or don't know about or were not exposed to does not mean someone is correct. Brilliant guy but he got a lot of stuff distorted or did not elaborate them correctly. But this is surely a guy you can have a conversation with.Very exposed.

    This podcast was one of the best, ever. Thanks Ricky so much! But, what I don't get about SA is a lot of African Americans (with money, like me) would love to come and support S A but the visa process (unlike Ghana, which is booming with AA's) makes it hard to get in. To get there is an FBI check and it takes a good amount of money. I can understand caution for good character, but, AA's with at least one million rands on hand, and R345 600 a year in retirement are rejected. If a visa is created to aid African Americans to come to South Africa (johannesburg) to live, buy, create and invest more could come. I would even sell my beautiful home and buy one there. Thank you and your guest again for an outstanding podcast. Michelle

      True. As a South African I did not know how the visa rules look like. But blame the USA goverment too. We South Africans can't come there without a visa.
      But we can visit Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba, Agentina, The British Virgin islands, Brazil by passport only. I as a black South African it is also difficult for me to visit the state's because of your country Visa restrictions.
      The two governments bureaucracies has to be blamed. America is sceptical about us South Africans.

    Great interview. I like seeing different aspects of our country from different people. About the American entertainment, I can only speak on what I remember about black American TV specifically. It was banned in SA because it gave black people a picture of and a hope for comfortable, affluent, happy black families (e.g.: The Cosby Show, All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Family Matters were all banned) so when we finally had democracy, we lapped up every single black family comedy we could consume. Anything they played at 7pm during dinner time we would all sit and watch as a family. It became part of the ‘rainbow nation’ PR along with SABC 1’s “Simunye, we are one” slogan. We were really inspired by what we could have and how we could live. First we watched the Cosby show, then Family Matters, Living Single, Martin, The Bernie Mac Show, Hanging with Mr Cooper, City Guys, The Steve Harvey Show, Fresh Prince… literally everything post 1989 we watched daily at 7pm!

    Hi: I wanna differ with him concerning him saying, The word "Rainbow nation" is miscospeting people that we South Africans has no problems.
    The Rianbow nation is in simple terms that we are people with different colours, languages, cultures and e.t.c. It does not talk about our problems.
    Nelson Mandela was saying that sothat all of us must see ourselves as one Rainbow. A rainbow is united in its colours. I don't know were does this "problems"thing comes from.
    Nelson Mandela wanted to unite all south africans people, But some white people thought they will loose their superiority.

      @viudelaan 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I agree with the guest speaker; The Rainbow Nation metaphor is used to describe our diversity on a superficial level, assuming that we all became one equal nation in '94. However, it fails to recognize that we did not all start on an equal playing field and our need to heal and overcome our problems, such as inequality, that still persist along racial lines.
