    Another couple from the US i enjoyed seeing! Truth be told, the South is just as safe as the North...SA is safer now than it was a decade ago and things can only get better from here on end. This is your home, settle wherever you feel comfortable.

      Thanks. ☺️Maybe we will share in a video one day how we have applied in our lives 🤔 to enhance stability over the years, especially from an economic perspective in this challenging world, particularly in the ultra-competitive (and sometimes “cut-throat”) society that is the U.S. Such info can be surely useful when applied anywhere else in the world.

    Perfect choice! A true hidden gem, the views are incredible compared to the north. Especially the Glenvista, Winchester hills, Mulbarton areas. It reminds me of Hollywood hills🇿🇦💞

    • @MelAndMe
      @MelAndMe  หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Ya know..☝🏾😄 Oddly, that was the vibe I got (and get) when driving through and looking out over Mulbarton. I think about how we see Hollywood Hills homes in the U.S. in the tens of millions of dollars and the exclusivity of it all. Yet, you have the same type of vibe accessible right there in SA, for the everyday person. By everyday I mean not having to be a “celebrity” or wealthy from “old money”. I realize we still have SO much to learn in that regard, so I will not speculate too much at this point. It is touchable and a real-life experience there, and I enjoy that. It does something for the mind.

      @NtombizodwaZodwa-nr6il I notice this is your second comment to one of our videos of this nature. Your first comment was on another video concerning the relationship between my daughter and I. Is there some issue with you regarding this? You seem to gravitate to that line of “humor”. One thing I do not tolerate is disrespect from people regarding my family, and I do hope you can see how such out of the blue commentary more than once can come off as disrespectful. Take note fam, as I am all for fun, but I also am no joke.

But yes, the previous comment of suggesting I was my daughter’s boyfriend when it is clear I am her father. Then to return with your latest comment. I’m just trying to get a sense of your motivation for saying such things? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Umndeni…I have been in this game a long time with my wife - standing on business as a man, raising a dynamic daughter and son. My “mother” is deceased and I have long stood as a man for many decades now. That’s all I’m saying. Uthando Umndeni. Let’s keep it cool.

    The fact that you have 2 Sundowns jerseys, tells me that you're gravitating towards Sundowns. Being in South of Joburg should not stop you from supporting a Pretoria football team 😂 Please join Sundowns, you will not regret it!

    • @MelAndMe
      @MelAndMe  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have to be honest with you. I am not as big a fan of the Sundowns fluorescent yellow (which I understand is the “home” jersey). Reason is…the color scheme is far too similar to what countries like Brazil (almost exact copy) 🙄, Jamaica, and other Caribbean nations in the Americas wear. 🤔💡Something about us Black people and that bright yellow and green! 🤦🏾‍♂️ I guess it does confirm our interconnectedness as a People, regardless of where we exist in the Diaspora. I did snatch up the yellow after giving up on not finding a Bucs jersey (which ironically I saw at the last second at Studio8, making our way out of Mall Of Africa). 🥴 Well, the stores got extra patronage from me that day. 😄The electric blue Downs piece is the🔥one though. 👌🏾🤤I have had that one for a minute…

      Yes. 😂 They are very much like the Golden State Warriors of the U.S. (or New England Patriots during their many years of runs). Dynasties get a lot of hate. They can always attract the best players because of the winning legacy and deep pockets. It feeds upon itself.

      I will be totally honest with you when I say this. Mel and me don’t do this for subscribers, though we truly appreciate those who appreciate the information and stories we share. We are far more concerned with tapping into the culture and the fullness of the people as we lean into our journey. If the rivalry between football clubs is such to where an individual would take it SO personally to where they have a negative reaction to us and not support our channel, then that is a subscriber I am willing to live without. I am huge on the idea that we should try to operate with a certain level of emotional intelligence. As such, I put a lot of energy into providing context for people in our displays and explanations. Thankfully, we have zero financial motive for this channel, and as such it provides us a certain level of freedom to just be GENUINE with people without the pressures of trying to pull in subscribers to make money. That is most important to us. I can never even remember to remind people to “Like,share, or subscribe” to the channel anyway!🤷🏾‍♂️😂 It further demonstrates the level of importance I personally place onto it. We do appreciate and understand your sentiment though. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿
