You are right Maya, South African economy is controlled by white people. I am a black South african living in Cape Town. You haven't seen anything, Pretoria is far better compared to Cape Town. It's upsetting!
Thank you for telling the truth 👍👍👍
It's equally upsetting that South Africans will never admit this fact, let alone trying to do something about it! Appartheid also don't allow them to think? Come on!
So you can be a minority and still be successful? Imagine that...
Exactly... 💯💯
nobody disputed the fact that South African Economy is in the Hands of the colonizers, Like in Any other country. white folks are direct beneficiaries of the Apartheid. from my knowledge in South Africa the Government is the biggest Employer in the country not white folks. being wealthy does not mean you control the economy. yes they are wealthy and they live in areas they want to live and nobody prohibits black people from coming in.
Leave Wode maya alone ,he just wanted to stir the pot to get subscribers at the expense of SA which was a good strategy, Ghana has bigger issues to worry about SA internal affairs is no business of wode and the rest of africa for that matter, infact only a few weeks ago Ghana made a Chinese man a chief, they literally worshipped a Chinese man and gave him a title ,But he wont talk about that its not good for business. So my advise to South africans leave wode maya alone his not worth the energy. Here the link below how Ghanians worship chinesse.We as black south africans must just continue to uplift our brothers here dont worry about wode blah blah stay focused.

We fail to understand, we are the ones who let ppl treat us this way, because of the way we treat each other
Exactly In plane words we are kind of stupid
Exactly
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that's what they always wanted for black people to all leave. The more and more black people leave the more they take over.. The only way to change this is for all majority of black south africans ( real south africans ) to start internet businesses, invest in forex , bitcoin overseas and build up south African restaurants accross the globe. Chinese people do it but now with the Corona virus and Chinese resturounts going out of business across the globe. South Africans now have the advantage. The whole key is to give each other free information and of how to invest in forex, bitcoin, make money with real estate world wide, start a international business, urban farming, etc. but never give free information to other races of how to make money instead let them pay for the information with developing high paying seminars. the Japanese is taut how to invest in the stock market, do computer science and build international businesses while they're in elementary. It takes an entire village to raise a child, children are our future so The entire key to South Africa's black success is giving each other free how to information especially the rich black south africans need to give free how to information of what they do to become rich and imitate that. One thing that white people hate to see is a lot of black people becoming rich and succeeding in life.

Right on, Angella Roberts. I couldn't agree more!
This is what we've noticed since we came in here!
Let's us know what you think in the comment section!
Thank You
This is real problem of south Africa, when blacks try to fight for their economic freedom they threaten them that south Africa will end up like Zimbabwe..
WHY I SUPPORTED MUGABE (Reason One)
I had promised my friends earlier, that when the leadership crisis in Zimbabwe is over, I shall explain why I supported Mugabe’s presidency. And of course, I stand with him beyond his rule. The reasons I stand with Mugabe are so many that I could write an entire book about, “Why I Loved Robert Mugabe and Loathed his Overthrow.”
But I will give the reasons briefly, and share them one reason per a post. To make sure that you do not get bored, I will try to give not more than five reasons. Here goes my first reason and it starts from where African political leadership begun.
When European colonialists invaded Africa, they discovered two things which worked so well to the advancement of the colonial agenda. Firstly, they discovered that as black Africans, we were physically very strong. Secondly, they discovered that we were mentally or intellectually very weak. The Europeans took advantage of our physical strength to enslave us into working in their plantations for their economic benefit, and even recruited us to fight in their wars. On the other hand they exploited our intellectual weakness by manipulating our minds into thinking that they were very superior and we and everything African was inferior and inappropriate.
They conditioned our brains into thinking that our cultures and traditions were inferior and evil. They indoctrinated us into believing that our gods who were even capable of bringing rains and our traditional medicines which cured us of all sicknesses were inferior and evil. Worst of them all rather, they made us believe that we were incapable of governing ourselves. And so they imposed their governments and political systems on us.
But they made one mistake which costed them the entire colonial project. They allowed an African to get education and travel the world. Education made Africans intellectually strong and travelling gave them exposure and enlightenment.
Education was meant to be a strategy for the advancement of colonialism. Educated Africans were meant to be puppets of the colonial masters. They wanted them to read and write and communicate to influence fellow Africans into subordination to white supremacy. Contrary to the expectation of the Europeans and the west, education made some Africans complete: they were now physically strong and intellectually strong as well.
At this point, by the 1950s, the educated Africans begun to lead fellow Africans into resisting European colonialism and everything that Europeans and western governments stood for. Intellectual strength made them smarter. They saw through the trickery of Europeans and persistently and boldly fought them out of the continent.
As of the 1950s, Africans in the Sub-Sahara led by smart Africans were fighting against Europeans almost everywhere. They were fighting in Ghana, in Kenya, in Tanzania, in Malawi, in South Africa, just everywhere.
In the 1960s, Comrade Sir Robert Mugabe joined the fight against colonialism in Zimbabwe. He had gotten some university education from Fort Hare University in South Africa where he got influenced by the ANC and later worked in Ghana where he got influenced by Kwame Nkurumah. As of the 1970s after spending at least 10 years in jail, guerrilla fighters camping in Mozambique and Zambia, unanimously chose Mugabe to become the leader of the resistance movement.
They choose Mugabe because of his intellectual disposition, trustworthiness, boldness and eloquence of speech. And in 1980 Mugabe finally led his country Zimbabwe into independence. His reign survived until just a couple of days ago.
To me, Mugabe represents a unique crop of political leaders and leadership which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. This was a period of African intellectual revolution where educated Africans had acquired intellectual stamina to stand and protect values of the African people and defend their land from foreign exploitation. Leaders like Jomo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkurumah, Kenneth Kaunda, Julius Nyerere and others were products of this period of African intellectual revolution which gave rise to the spirit of African nationalism.
Mugabe was the LAST MAN STANDING of this generation long gone, of intelligent leaders who created an independent Africa and wanted to keep Africa that way. For that, I supported and loved him.
Wode.. there is no University conducting a course called 'UNITY'.... people just have to learn to get along and work together.. no one will teach us how to get along.. we just have to learn it as it is with other places in the world.. crying and blaming issues which happened a century ago will not solve the problem.. this will keep going and going and we pass it on to the next h=generation as others are getting better.. just look at Asian countries how they are developing.. they use foreigners to guide them..
I doubt that this video will be on TH-cam. No one will except the truth that you are bringing ou.
@@thatlchiponda3368 what is wrong having a better economy.. people just have to look for the way to get themselves in.. many countries are just struggling for better economy..
How can you get a foreigner to be your tour guide, and expect to be seeing the best of SA's black excellence🤷♂️?
Rra, this was in february with world known hostility . he looks very different than the local uMzulu and Belungu. that's one , and being with a woman makes him appear harmless. let's not kid ourselves it was scary for anyone who isn't from SA during that time.
I notice many African TH-camrs do that when they get to South Africa. They interview more foreigners than South Africans. Make it make sense.
Truth hurts 💔 don't gets mad
@@DeeMaine74coz they know how to speak english and chances of getting mugged are low
There are countries in Africa who have had their independence for more than 40 years but South Africa received its Democracy 25years back we (especially blacks) are expected to have alot of wealth. It's a working progress and everyday we are fighting. The standards of living for some black people is better than before. We do have beautiful houses (in the townships & suburbs),we do enjoy some of the luxuries that we couldn't before. We know the history we had.Africa as a whole is struggling with corruption and its holding back its citizens from prospering to a level they should be.
Good picture for the part about Africa
True projections. It took white people 200+ years to build massive economies. It's just been 25 years since independence , though corruption slows the process down , I believe non the less that we are on track to achieving great heights. Might take a while !
@@John_code is this a serious statement ? It wasn't of matter of time, but a matter of means. Africa was looted for its wealth and knowledge.. obviously weakening it, and benefiting Europe immeasurably.
South Africa never got independence. Hahaha South Africans need to travel in other African countries to see what they're missing out.
@@Darubini01TV we not missing out on anything. dont let this video fool you this guy doesnt know what hes talking about. pretoria is for rich whites, joburg also has alot of rich black estates hahah
I visited from the United States and I did experience the segregation but I also experience the Love. The young man at the airport saw my place of birth in my American passport and hand it back to me and said welcome home. I meet up with locals that I met on FB. I stayed 8 days in Cape Town and 8 days in Wolseley and I must say I felt more at home outside the tourist areas. I was w a South African Native so I got the first hand experience of the day to day life there. I was actually looking to buy property in Ceres. I didn’t care if the neighborhood was all white. I was born in Jamaica and you live where you can afford. If they don’t want to be my neighbors, they would have to move. We have to step out of what people expect to be our comfort zone and take chances. I will be going back this year and I know it’s going to be even better the 2nd time. We all need to empower each other as blacks and not separate ourselves according to where we were born.
What love? you were well received because you are American coming with Dollars to spend.if your were black from any other African country you would have been heartbroken to experience more hate from black South Africans
Toni Fergie happy you enjoyed your visit to our beautiful South Africa, and you are most welcome to return as often as you want and even buy property. Yes, South Africans are a very friendly nation if you come with the right intention. I love traveling and welcome being treated with respect wherever I go as I do respect others. As they say; Respect gains respect. And I’m by no means white. I just love people... don’t care what race you are. So dear Toni, you welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦 anytime.
Toni....it's good that you visited SA n you no the love we have for people......so come home n enjoy
@Amdrew Moore Voetsek wena
Which love ,that same person ll not do same fr a Nigerian or a ghanaian even fellow African
There's a growing Black middle class in Pretoria and Joburg and in SA at large, whole estates with 100% Black home owners. This is why I advised you to get more locals on your vlogs. There are Black land owners, Black mine owners, Black farmers, Black wine makers, Black hotel owners, Black private school owners etc. and those numbers are growing. As far as I know, the main theme of your channel is to portray African people as hardworking, developed, not backward etc. so I don't understand why when you get to SA, you're willing to talk about the negatives, and ignore the positives mentioned above... That's the opposite of what you stand for. We all have a responsibility to re-brand Africa.
Do you really want him to lie about what he saw then. He is saying they need to push hard and do more.
those are exceptions to the rule but very few yet blacks are the majority
@@Each1Teach1Tech I don't understand how you go to a suburb that's predominantly White and complain about Whites running the show, while there's suburbs that are predominantly Black, where you can go to and showcase Black excellence?

They are trying to divide people of South Africa. They must leave our fellow white people and they must not worry about us or how we run things in our land. They should rather focus on fixing their countries that they are still struggling even after receiving Independence for Six decades.
They say we are suffering because we leave in townships 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where are they coming from Dubai mybe 😂😂

Their country is shit hole,black South Africa that leaves in township are far better than Ghanaians leaving in Accra,Ghana city is South Africa township
@@comfortedu5115 Ghana city is a south African village , townships are way too cute
@@JahsehXXX03 you are right, have you been to Ghana?
Dude you dont come to a country - one city and make that premature conclusion. That’s an unnecessary generalisation. I am
Half South African, and I have loads of relatives with mansions. I have lived in Pretoria lived in Silverton Ridge and I had many black neighbors with mansions. You must also understand Pretoria is predominately white and it is not the case with the rest of South Africa.
I agree on this
I agree
Exactly and he is talking as if theres no any fancy houses in the townships. You cant talk about entire mzansi after spending just a week or so.
Yaz mft
Sandton mansions are dominating by Blacks
But the area you at is an old white suburb which was built during apartheid so you will hardly find black people as residence, so you ask your driver to take you to places like water fall, centurion where there are estate and suburbs that were developed after apartheid and you will find those area very diverse, am not denying that white people own the economy but things are dramatically changing..
It's as if they deliberately went to the old traditional white suburb and come to this conclusion because all new areas in SA are diverse/majority is Black
True
@@koenawamokone1445 true it seems like they did this ,purposefully so
That's not a rich neighbourhood. Black people in Johannesburg are quite upscale. Leave your stereotypes and go around Sandton or Johannesburg North, then you will see Black South Africans doing powerful things. Pretoria is predominantly white Afrikaner, but the whites in Pretoria typify what's called garbage trash. I saw that white lady in your video who has two plastic bags with her, she is not wealthy looking at all, even though she's expected to be because she was unjustly enriched by apartheid. The South African economy is predominantly in white hands, that's sadly true, but to suggest that Black South Africans are inherently poor and live in poor townships (there are well off townships btw) exclusively is a bit simplistic. Seep yourself into the country, and its dynamics will reveal themselves to you. At this stage you present an interpretation drawn from a narrow perspective. Yes historically the Black man was prevented from advancing, but the Black man is rising slowly but surely, even though apartheid intended for him to be perpetually poor. Also the advantage about being in South Africa is that every poor person has access to free Healthcare and free schooling. It's also one of very few countries in Africa with a comprehensive welfare and free housing system. So it's a country with no absolute poverty and very little absolute wealth. The majority of people fall in the different strata of working and middle class. I hope I'm making sense.
@Unathi Ngunuza stop promoting lies
I agree with you 100% the judgement by the two was made from a narrow perspective
South Africa is the best African country, the diversity, the unity, the development, the infrastructure, the technology and more. All these other African countries know about SA is Xenophobia because that's all they want to know.
The unity????wake up
As a South African I can't support u on the unity part.. We have better blacks here who are the kings and Queens of tribalism and xenophobia. Not forgetting racism
When you aprouch our African brothers to stop selling drugs to.young people or telling him to stop human trafficking you are xenophobic
There's this thing the haters are now obsessed with. They pretend to be South Africans.
@@jimmycaleni4642 So all those Africans you killed were selling drugs? Really?!!!!

Its not a surprise, South African history sets the record straight.
Pretoria is always been White dominated city like Cape Town. Even famous Tesla CEO Elon Musk, grew up in Pretoria. Maybe Wode Maya should've read some history before commenting. Now you'll understand why white minority own 70% of the land in SA. Its only been 26 years post apartheid, things will change with the time.

So they have to sit around and wait like dogs for a bone? This is really pathetic. SA need to take their damn land back. It's about time. Why do blacks just sit around lime cowards and let other people are taking advantage of them like that. This is disgraceful. What kind of a people just so damn weak? You can tell by that guy Woda Maya is asking the question in the car. The man sound like he is being watch. He's damn scared to speak his mind as if someone is listening. They need to grow some backbone and take their land that was stolen from them and stop waiting for the white man to give it back to them. Which is not going to happen.
No chance!! White folks will never give up their economic power.
@@blessedAfrikan217 I'd love to see your dumbass in the same situation and see how quickly you get out of it. Fool.

Where I live we are mixed. It depends on where you are in South Africa. Pretoria and Monte Casino are not representatives of South Africa. And to be honest, there are many places where blacks prefer to be alone because we are different in our beliefs and many other things.

Black South Africans are found in all suburbs of South Africa including Sandton, Fourways, Waterfall, Clifton, Mhlanga rocks, Bishop's court etc. The above are the very top suburbs of South Africa. That place you are pointing is actually a lower middle class surbubs and most professional black South Africans in the main don't buy property in such areas because the houses tend to be too old and the sellers are usually retired old whites looking to cash in for retirement.
If you really want to know South Africa live here at least for 3 years and travel and interact with people from all walks of life not just in the Townships then you'll see the real South Africa.
hehehe LIES wena
Lols my family stays in Sandton and many other blacks. My homie from Limpopo are staying at waterfall, totally confused now lols.
What is Black South African? Do White South African exist? Do Black European exist?
5 of my umcles stay in moningside, Sandton... what are you talking about
TF I lived in sandton for four years I loved it there, and so many of my friends stay in the places you say we as black people don't stay. check your facts before you say foolish staments like these.
First off I’m shocked that you don’t seem to understand why this is the state Wode, if you tried to read up or watch videos available everywhere on the net on real SA history then you’d have known what to expect and even if you were still shocked you’d have said I knew it was divided but didn’t imagine it’s still persists so glaringly. If you’d engaged real Black SAcns, you know the same ones you engaged about what makes them cute, those Black SA women are mostly varsity students in Gauteng province they’d have given you nuanced answers. Of course SA is divided, what did you expect?! Apartheid literally means separate development in Afrikaans. Even though it is changing, that area you’re in right now you’d never been allowed to come in as a Black person unless you were a maid or gardener(yes the gardeners that you see most of now in those suburban homes are not even SAcn now most are Zim, Malawian, Zam, Kenyans etc), more so a non SA Black person as it was a whites only area until about 28years ago! That is apartheid’s legacy. SA is great as you say, you can make your dreams come true but you’ll have to fight white racists trying to close opportunities at every turn but many Black SAcns are thriving and living in those areas you claimed that you’d seen none...I get it you need to make a point so you might fib a bit. actually SA can be quite great but SA is not for everyone who hates racial diversity and working through apartheid legacy of economic and social displacement...that’s what SA is dealing with right now. If you don’t know SA’s history and I’m not talking about you knowing of Mandela, really knowing how Black SAcns were kicked off lands and not allowed to even borrow money from banks to build homes or businesses, then you’ll not have context of why we are here. Of course it’s unpleasant & unjust to have a minority white population owning so much wealth in a sea of Black disenfranchisement in Africa nogal(ask a SAcn what this means) , especially when they got the riches through an uncompetitive oppressive system called apartheid that literally made it law that white ppl will be prioritised economically & supported so they can be better than everyone else. They were given better schools, larger land, money by government to start businesses, of course they are rich now. Most white SAcns live a standard of living equivalent to Western Europe, and of course they are fighting by every means to keep that for themselves. It’s an ongoing struggle. But that’s what we are dealing with in SA, that is why our parents had to fight and some of them and their families died. That is why Winnie Madikizela Mandela is my hero, she fought &might not have been in prison for 27years like her husband but she fought and was jailed several times and longest being about 2 years but she faced the apartheid police herself fearlessly. She lived amongst the ppl and knew first hand poverty. Winnie never left her people, she lived most of her life during apartheid and rest of her life after apartheid in Soweto, till her last days. Her house still stands there, not as a museum but that was her home until her last breath❤️ May she rest in power✊🏽This has not been an easy road to get to for SA and we still have so much fighting to do but this time it’s not going to be guns, we need policy and legal framework changes...as we are implement expropriation of land without compensation bill which will see lands stolen by white apartheid government given to whites and white corporations be taken back through legal means to rightful Black SA owners who’ve been displaced for over a century now. Land Act of 1913 is when most SAcns consider to be when apartheid truly formalised. However this was preceded by many centuries of colonialism by the evil Brits and endless wars & battles where Black ppl (Zulus, Basotho, Phondo nations etc) fought and faced Europeans’ guns when they only had spears& sticks. That’s why lately we (SA) have Trump even shook(he’s tweeted about SA proposed land bill)and white SAcn right wing parties are campaigning in US and Europe to create drama around this expropriation land bill claiming it to be Zimbabwe -style land grabs which it’s far from.The Land Bill will need to pass our constitutional laws and it will be tested as I’m sure white right wingers in SA(they are powerful, DA & VF + political parties are their parliamentary representatives ) will contest it in court…it’s coming. SAcns will fix their issues just not going to be on anyone’s behest. Certainly not based off 2 vloggers who visited for a few days and spoke mostly to non SAcns about what’s going on in SA. Lawrence as much as he articulated decently is not SAcn so he doesn’t have the nuance of understanding the issues...why can Wode not find SAcns to speak to when it comes to these key matters but can find SA Black women to speak to when it’s to talk about what makes them unique...frivolous vs real talk. That’s my gripe with his and Trudy’s visit, came to SA and interacted a lot with that foreign Chinese woman and Zimbabwean or East African taxi drives but yet they claim to have seen Black SAcns in taxis and even went to a whole Neighbourgoods Market with young smart Black SAcns and didn’t engage them on these SA peculiarities &these questions? Even went to Soweto with smart as whip SA guides but didn’t engage them on this issue in their own country?! Anyway be that as it is, this is all apartheid legacy but despite apartheid legacy, Black South Africans are coming through and are starting to own their country, it’s small but it’s happening. Also very incorrect what Lawrence said that that Pretoria is majority white, only 20-22% of Pretoria population is white. Majority is Black& Coloured and quite a sizeable Indian population. This is why Wode needs to speak to Black SAcns FFS! On another note now; this is why Mugabe(as crazy he was towards the end) correctly felt that Mandela sold SA for white system preservation, he and mostly ANC shouldn’t have agreed to a peaceful transition without settling the land& economic ownership issue. Now 25 years after first independent vote, Black SAcns are still fighting to get their land back. Mandela might seem more of a hero for most non-SAn Africans and the world but real Black SAcns know he was too old and maybe too soft and he trusted white SAcns too much. Read up on Biko and Sobukwe. Sobukwe only man ever to be jailed by apartheid and never charged with any crime, they just feared his mind. Read up why Chris Hani was killed in 1993. Hani was killed at dawn of first independent vote ...he was radical, beautiful, smart, military man, socialist and fearless and wanted Black SAns to get their land back first before free vote and he was vocal that he felt ANC and Mandela shouldn’t agree tj terms for peace without settling the land and economic issues. He was general secretary of the SA Communist party which is comrades of ANC and part of the tripartite alliance within ANC along with Cosatu(trade union). we (SAcns)are now slowly learning that Mandela and ANC working with white monopoly capitalists might have had Hani killed cause he was the true Black hero who didn’t want SA to start building its new country on shaky & false terms and agree on election date without resolving what the fight against apartheid was always about...land ownership. SA is complex man, please dig deeper than adoring Mandela foolishly. I don’t hate the guy but he wasn’t the true Black leader he’s made out to be by white media. That’s me on that. To close: Black SAcns are slowly economically rising and they will own their own country but at own strategy not dictated by any vlogger’s whims or sentiment or other Africans who are not any better in their countries where they are allowing Chinese to take their minerals and land just so they get roads& bridges& railways lines...that’s another story which you need to report on. Why are Africans coming to SA when they have supposedly black owned economies& lands back home and come to SA to work for white SAcns& live in shanty towns of SA and squalid city housing? Most Africans in SA are working within an SA econ system run by white SAcns...why is that, if they don’t like seeing economically dominant white ppl & leave their countries with Lebanese, Indians & Chinese running& owning industries there? Why?

Are you in SA can we link up?would love to meet u personally and talk to u if possible
Amen my sister Thandie... Each one teach one
Basically, Nelson Mandela failed SA with his peace driven politics which was there to reassure the whites and others who have wealth in SA. Peace hasn't benefited the people whom are still struggling. Glass ceiling for blacks in a black country. Now watch how many will attack this comment!! We need to wake up black people. Winnie Mandela all the way always.
They are here because they want to survive and possibly thrive through this system that continues to disenfranchise us then call us lazy for standing up to it. Fellow Africans who come here are not concerned about South Africans but have the most to say about issues they dont understand.
Hahahahaha the funny thing is many Africans from out side SA they work for them White, south Africans must take their land back and all foreigners will go back home ,sibethwe ngumoya zihlobo, and I stay in Pretoria north .

Wode, if you go to lush suburbs like Fourways and Some parts of Midrand, you will see a strong black wealth class, perhaps the biggest black wealthy class in Africa concentrated in SA. You should understand Pretoria was the administrative capital of Apartheid SA, and black people are not that into it. Get some context first before you make conclusions from seeing one street in Pretoria 😂

You sound so insecure and defensive just because the reality in South Africa is exposed by Wode Maya and Trudy. South Africans like to hide this part about their country. The truth will set you free. It’s rather shocking and sad that South Africa, a country in Africa the indigenous are treated like second class in their own land. Apartheid doesn’t justify any of this. Same thing happened with Native Americans in the U.S.

@@cecechampion4 We are not hiding nor defending anything. We have an apartheid legacy here in SA. Part of this is because of apartheid spatial planning, segregation.So you think after 1994 we will magically leave together? Black South Africans are making it too. I live a fairly comfortable in the so called white suburbs. Rome was not built in one day. It took centuries of dispossessing us for the whites to reach where they are. We don't need anybody's pity.
I think one big problem is that you don't have south africans showing you around. There's alot of Surburbs that blacks dominate
@DISKI ZA: It does not matter where "blacks dominate" (in terms of living standards), what does matter however is black Africans should be in control of the economy in THEIR COUNTRY and not white people.

@@jermarwilliamson4549 are you crazy many white people make black people rich you are racist bitch
Hi Wode Maya. I think context is very important when you do such videos. There are some questions that we need to ask ourselves before we get emotional and portray a distorted version of reality. We need to ask ourselves the following questions: 1. Why are South African black people the most oppressed in Africa? Why is South Africa the most developed economy in Africa? Why is the African National Congress the oldest liberation movement in Africa and possibly in the world? Why was South Africa the only country that experienced Apartheid in Africa? Why was Nelson Mandela imprisoned for 27 years? Why was South Africa the last country to be ushered into democracy in Africa (if we exclude South Sudan). Why was South Africa only formalized as a state in 1910? Why is South Africa home to the majority of white people in Africa? Why are some of our brothers and sisters from the rest of Africa, some of which got their so called independence in the 60’s and supposedly control their land and resources prefer to be in South Africa than their countries? Which is the richest country in Africa in terms of mineral resources? Which country is the gateway into Africa and why? Is there a Shoprite, Vodacom, MTN, Multichoice (to name a few) in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and the rest of Africa and who owns these MultiNational companies from where? What is happening currently in South Africa in terms of expropriation of land without compensation? After answering these questions, I’m sure we can have a meaningful debate. It is not a coincidence that the whole Africa finds itself in this quagmire. Whether we control our resources or not, whether we control our land or not, White Monopoly Capital will still benefits from Africa. As long as we don’t completely destroy their system that ensures that they loot Africa to maintain European and American economies, we are doomed. Now we are faced with colonization by China and we are still worried about the inequities taking place in South Africa when we should be talking about uniting as Africans so that we can destroy this evil system and set up a system that benefits us first and everyone else second. As long as we see Inequality in any African country as that particular individual country’s problem, we are not going anywhere. We must understand that our struggle as Africans is not against white people but against an unjust system which benefits not only ordinary white people but White Monopoly Capital the most and other races. As long as we don’t tackle the core problem and worry about symptoms of the problem we are fighting a loosing battle. Ask yourself why it so hard for black people to unite while other races are united and maybe you will understand that the only strategy that has ever worked in looting Africa’s resources was divide and rule, therefore in order to win this psychological warfare we need to start there. Total destruction is the only solution and we need to destroy in order to rebuild. Unity is Power! One Africa, One People, One Love! ❤️. Sipho Maduna from Azania 🇿🇦

i did a vlog on this in capetown where i spoke with one of the locals. Her exact words were, 'There is this talk about freedom, freedom, freedom....but there is no economic freedom. the economy is still controlled by the whites. Many of the things promised after apartheid have still not been delivered.'
Judy - Ann Hines Mandela wanted things like this.
@@sowhat1273 back home we hail Mandela as a hero, a great freedom fighter. I was very surprised when I came to South Africa to realize that a lot of the black south africans do not feel this way. It was a very interesting conversation. Do you think this was intentional or was there something else at play?
Judy - Ann Hines Mandela is a satanist like all oppressive devils, he bats for the same team as oppressors and masqueraded as a revolutionary. He was a revolutionary once but that old sellout was the salt that lost its flavor and paraded to us by his master's as an anti revolution puppet and we were duped. He sold the Black Race for a Nobel Peace prize and to be a darling of white people and their media.
So how do you know about things that where promised to us? So you want to tell me in your country you have all things you where promised. I am South African and I have all things I have been promised. 1 we have free housing even if it's flawed with corruption but people get free housing here, free electricity, free water free education. Not everyone will get them but it's there it's just corruption.
@@tsholofeloellenkekana5635 if you read my statement you would have seen that I quoted what a south african I spoke with said... so that question should not be directed to me
What you see in South Africa is the glaring truth. It is the same in all of Africa. Its just South Africa that its glaring. Let me explain:
White people and chinese and arabics and indians actually own most of Africa behind the scenes, they even own the governments and armies and mining. But only in South africa its on the surface for you to see. In Ghana the chinese own that country, in Kenya the whites own that country. The list goes on.
As soon as african countries trade with each other, build their own refineries and mine their own minerals and create their own currency then otherwise things will remain the same.
So on point.... we need to work together for the future of our children.
This situation in S.A is an exceptional one in most cases.

SA has all colors and white country was prioritized by apartheid and that wont go away as fast.

I'm a South African
South Africa changed alot. Standard of living for black folks is way better than back in the 90's. I see progress, like guys change don't happen in a blink of an eye.
that situation is in everywhere , even if come to london you will see black dominant area and white Dominant area, we blacks our life style is different from white thats why they cant mingle ,I think thats the another problem because we blacks are loud and they also like quiet places, thats another fact
The difference is the black dont run the economy in england
uk is diffrent..white people are in the poorest areas....in other areas its mixed...
Let me first say this as a South African middle class, there are many of us staying in these expensive areas. One thing you must understand SA is a middle class dominant cauntry , not so many black people are rich but there are there . 25 years into democracy it may seems slow but progress is there. Many african cauntries decided to be radical about chasing whites, but SA leaders decided to be strategic(like I said it may be slow but the direction is right). I need to make it clear cauntries economy is driven by middle class not few rich people who by the way invade tax. NIGERIA is a typical example. Rather have more middle class blacks then having Nigerian economic system where it's either you rich or poor. I stand to be corrected
This my opinion exactly its better to have a large middle class to drive the economy and pay taxes than to have very rich and very poor. Understandably there are alot of poor south africans but there is room for upward mobility. The one problem that south africans have is that for the longest time we were not entrepreneurial and this is because during apartheid south africans were not allowed to own business apart from the small spaza shop. It is only now that we starting to think to get up and do our own businesses. Look at Instagram its filled with a lot of black owned business, professional looking and employing black south africans. This means in 20 years time we will own our economy as long as we remain proud purchasers of black south african brands and more of us branch into manufacturing. Quick fixes never solved anything look at Zimbabwe people expect 25 years is enough to fix our problem. When we went into democracy we opened up to the world experience steep competition for the little resources we have which put a lot of strain on us especially since a large amount of south africans at the time were not educated properly as well.
@@SabzKhumalo fully agreed with your response, people needs to undestand economy is generational not overnight. Imagine if Mandela used emotions in 1994 instant he used his intelligence, he knew that blacks in SA have potential to run bussiness only in time. And I have seen good results. I'm only running a business not expecting any handouts or waiting for government to expropriation someone's property and give it to me in a silver plater. We see the results of that in many african nations, they are now flooding to the same colonisers they chased because they used emotions to resolve their issues. SA is not perfect but the direction is correct. I wish black people can be more organised and build networks so that we can help each other not hate one onather.
@@africakingkong7921 being to SA doesn't mean you know everything in SA that's where you guys get it wrong, I stand to be corrected on my comments , my logic simple says progress has been made but slow. Economic systems are not build over night but you guys use emotions. Let's work together as African we can make it . Emotions are proven not working that's why blacks can't make it even in the most devolved nations lime US and Europe, yes I understand some problems are systematic but you don't fight system with emotions , you fight it with finding out how it works ad build your own. Chinees took them more than 30 years now they have biggest economies in world after artificial economy in the US. Learn then employment.
Thanks
In Kenya we didn't chase colonizers, they opted to go back to England but some remained. South African whites never left coz they feel they have developed the country and own everything. They feel its their right to stay there
It's called the legacy of apartheid. What was build in almost 50 years of segregation and oppression still lingers.
Correct, and it is not easy to change the mind of a person. I mean look at our SONA debate, instead of writing policies that will work for the people, we are busy fighting domestic squabbles. That is the legacy of apartheid
Whatever the past. The fact is that the tax system in SA is graded so rich whites will pay up to 50% tax on their incomes. This money should be used to empower blacks. Legacy of apartheid aside, I suggest you start holding the black anc government accountable for things like education and supporting budding black businesses.

Since when do Africans own their countrys' economy? There are African countries that are still paying colonial taxes to France as we speak. Ghana was free from colonial rule in 1957, Nigeria in 1960, Kenya 1963 and South Africa in 1994 (Lets talk about inequality in these countries without being blinded by race, for example in Kenya, the top 0.1% own more wealth that the bottom 99.9%). All the countries in Africa have high level of inequality, it is not a unique South African problem (race aside), it is mostly a problem of African countries. By the way, there are many black south africans owning houses in big residential estates, in Gauteng you will find whites are predominant in Pretoria, whereas in Johannesburg its a different story, in South Africa every residential area is different depending on the predominant race, its just a matter of preference. Please dont assume that all black South Africans are doing laundries, it is ludicrous and narrow-minded to say the least especially for someone who just visited the country for a week. 🤦🏽♂️
Johannesburg is not a different story! White ppl are rich dude!

@@walkersmith9764 It is not meant to be hateful. It's because Rich vs Poor is not usually based on colour in other African countries. The disparity between rich and poor is usually between people of the same race. When white people are the richest people in an African country, it is jarring. As a black person visiting from anywhere else in the world, it makes you feel like a victim. Black people from other countries are happy when black South Africans 'make it'.
@@evemason3456 But that is the point. Pretoria is majority white just like Washington is majority black, DESPITE being national minorities and both cities being capitals. Saying you went to stay in an all white neighbourhood says nothing about the many rich black people in both Pretoria and Johannesburg. Is there a slant in many places? Yes: in many old neighbourhoods that already had a lot of white families staying there, but the middle class overall is 70% black and the very wealthy are about 50-50 with the black share increasing every year.

@@georgeskeubou5966 your right
People who visit South Africa, especially those coming from the 1st time must realise that South Africa is not a zoological garden (zoo) of a nature game reserve. People will not stop their daily activities and come out to the streets so you can meet them and act in a particular way for your benefit. First seek information and speak later, because right now, I have lost all the respect I had for you. The audacity of interviewing a non South African about South Africa in South Africa just goes to show why many of our African brothers and sisters remain a social misfit in our country. The key is to educate yourself before concluding and accept that History has shaped South Africa to be very different from other African countries.
South Africa is the youngest nation in Africa apart from south Sudan. Wealth accumulation takes time. Just getting a mortgage itself is a 30 year burden. Trying to get rich quickly leads to tension, jealousy and disillusionment. What's important is abundance of opportunity for those who are ambitious. And I think in south Africa. There is opportunity, could be better but still... I love you all
Exactly Black South Africans are getting there

Lol his channels pooping idk wht u talking about
Your point would have made sense if you were in Western Cape atleast right now you are bluffing ✌❤
He must talk about Old Fadama. You can't compare your Country to SA.
Can we have this conversation after 60 years when we are atleast are same age as the Ghana of today, cause the future of South Africa is still being decided, Africans and others should not hurry us in deciding our future, first you need to understand that South was a settlement not a colonial post, colonialzation happened differently so decolonization will have to happen differently, when other Africans got independence whites packed they bags and went home, cause they had home, whites in SA have been here since 1652, at a pick of Nigerian colonization for example they only had 100 000 whites that's the most recorded all of them still kept linkage to Britain, they didn't settle but where employed by the crown to oversee business in Nigeria, and they where only colonized from 1851 to 1961, but chiefs kept their power, they never hard apartheid which was more strategic than other cases of colonization, 400 years of exploitation can't be erased in 25 years, especially in the mordern world cause we signed peace treaties, so picking up guns against the whites will just result in bloodshed from both sides, but pro- black policies will transform the nation even though to the outsider this my look wrong and slow but for us as South African we have seen blood spill on our streets during the fight against apartheid we don't want that anymore, we are now fighting an economic war, which once its won it will bring our people out of poverty, criticize us at your own peril we will defeat poverty like we defeated apartheid and will remember what you said about us, we don't forget.

South Africa is way bigger than you’ve seen and has many big cities. There is now 70% of blacks who joined the middle class. We really made a big progress and we can do even more to change the status quo.
True, our African brothers try to divide the South Africans on racial basis. The is inequalities on every country in the world. I see they call us cowards but for me a coward is the person who runs away from his problems.
David, the majority of us don't live in those areas, can't afford that life, do not belong in the middle class. Get your numbers right. Yes, you are right, there are many black people joining the middle but it's not enough to even balance it out.
Denying facts is not gonna lead to solutions.
No need to sweep the dirt under the rug.
That makes me happy
You South Africans are weak. You're in Africa and talk like Americans.
A black South African in the township still lives a far much better life than 90% of the people in your country. There're $1m houses in SA townships. This video was made deliberately to taint our country's image. SA still have most black dollar millionaires in the whole continent
Reminds me of my teen years when I went visiting and found myself in such an area, it always felt odd being black. SA and Namibia are quite alike but you enjoy life more in the black neighborhoods even if some say they are not safe. Lots of injustice was done to blacks but there is still hope.
@Ssama MC - nNever lose hope. never abandon the goal of a liberation of Africa.

Most west Africans and east Africans they managed to build their black wealth through slave trading African American in exchange for money and power.
In SA we never sold each other, so we are building our black wealth from the ground.

From what I've read and seen online Durban is 98% Black and they're a mixture of rich and poor there so if you go there you'll see a big difference.
Nonchalant there is a huge number of Black South Africans who are changing their lives but the process is slower than we prefer and our biggest problem is leadership. Pretoria has always been the capital city of apartheid.

@@tsholofeloellenkekana5635 Tell them they won't because they have an agenda against black South African.
This video was done with the intent to express an outsiders first reaction on the superficial racial dynamics and inter-workings of South Africa, but the biggest mistake that was made by these guys was to completely generalise the entire nation based on their own personal experience based solely on one or two regions of the entire country, resulting in them making bold claims like “South Africa is the most divided African country”. Because of this they’re entire survey was completely biased thus rendering it inaccurate, but truthfully speaking South Africa does indeed have its own fair share of issues still prevealing despite the past 26 years of democracy (accrediting to the lack of long-term solutions by the current ruling party) but just making a video on your personal experience and making bold claims doesn’t tell a complete story explain why things are the way they are.
Don’t judge SA on face value. Both blacks and whites coexist well together. In actual fact whites contribute more through taxes and creation of employment. SA has the best infrastructure of all African nations and guess who’s the mastermind?..which is why Africans migrate to SA for opportunities. It might be a bitter pill to swallow for some ...but kicking whites out you leave black South Africans in a vulnerable position. South Africans can work together irregardless of race.
There's a lot that you guys need to learn about SA infact please do visit apartheid museum in joburg south, to understand the current situation in SA you will have to understand the past history of this country. The division of ppl according to their race I was done to achieve what you currently see now.
It was systematically done by the whites to make sure their generation still benefit in the new so called democracy and your tour guy there I have to disagree with him with his explanation. In terms of crime this separation came before 1994 so crime has nothing to do with at all.
SA is not a perfect country. am a South African myself, we see all those inequalities and slowly but surely things will be different overtime. remember SA's democracy is still young, we are still in the process of fixing the wrongs. the thing I can tell you is that young people are overcrowding universities. we not sitting with arms folded, we trying our best, because it's not only for our government to fight, but for anyone who needs to see change. such inequalities need to more time to be sorted out. GOD BLESS AFRICA ✊
I believe in the youth, most governments have failed Africans but change is needed. The injustice done to SA was bad but things will change, all the best to you guys.
Khetho Mvelase well said, Black ppl in SA still have a higher living standard than rest of Africa, that is what is messed up. So even as rest of Africa calls out the inequality against white SAxns, still even poor in SA has a better chance if making it out. That’s the messed up bit. Also we are not even a generation into this new democracy but the strides my others have seen, SA if today is much better than if 20 years ago. It’s not perfect but still a whole lot better to aloe a living as a Black person in SA than most parts of African...that is why SA attracts so many African& Asian economic immigrants

A lot of Africans don’t understand that SA is a rainbow nation. When my cousins came to SA they had the same feeling. Since they opened up the can of worms they have no choice now but to learn all of SA history and understand why certain areas had mostly whites/blacks. I have a bone to pick with all people in the thread saying South Africans are oppressed by whites. NO South African is oppressed at this current time and where you live depends on your economic status or preference. There is the rising middle class of blacks in SA. Rich blacks who simply choose to live in certain areas for their own reasons. The area Wode Maya visited was probably an old Afrikaner area or boer area in Pretoria. Black people don’t care to live there but believe me if black people wanted to live there they could. Black people are FREE in South Africa. In fact, it is foreigners and other races oppressed in SA. When you apply for a job they literally say in application South African blacks first even if they’re not as qualified as you are. Black South Africans have PLENTY opportunities to thrive in SA. Thing is it takes time to recover from apartheid.
Yes is the rainbow nation = to gay nation
@Sis G official - Yes, SA is a rainbow nation (nice Slogan!), But should we keep the economic inequalities stemming from apartheid? All economists know that socio-economic catch-ups take time and above all need radical measures. The reunification of Germany is an example studied beyond the racial question. This is the place to say that South Africa must use audacity and social innovations to successfully reduce the social inequalities inherited from the racist regime.
The current economic rainbow must be a trasisition otherwise it will turn into toxic smoke. Land reform is an urgent problem that requires audacity. Basic education and access to higher education are keys to economic progress, for families whose generations have experienced bullying while the privileged have built up fortunes thanks to the exploitation of the country's natural resources.
However, all of this will take time. It therefore takes a Leadeship that inspires hope and motivation to all its people to move forward.
Every Africans from other African countries want to own South Africa that's why always critisyce black Africans
Most of those black who you saw working for whites are cheap labor from Zimbabwe and they earn slave salaries and kept as pets by these whites. The right question we should ask ourselves is whether Africa stood with Mugabe when the west were united against Zimbabwe and destroyed their economy.
We Africans we find it easy to criticize but can not even unite against colonial masters. Some African countries are still being colonized like Francophones. Research your subject well my friend. You did much good work, just remain objective. You can’t stand in a suburb and all there belong to whites. That show some pre-conceived idea you had before going to South Africa.
