    Fun fact: I speak Setwana, I have a Zulu speaking friend, Xhosa speaking friend and a Pedi speaking friend and we mostly communicate in our respective languages and we understand each other.
    When South Africans speak sometimes, one sentence can comprise of about 3 of our 11 official languages.
    I always find that fascinating 😁

    We were in SA this past Christmas and New Year. In the last 20 years we have visited SA about 12 times. Visited the mall of Africa for the first time as well. I'm very familiar with Sandton, never leave Joburg without visiting that area. We have visited almost every game reserve along the East coast from Northern KwaZulu-Natal to Pietermaritzburg. Did the Mpumalanga day trip and visited Dullstroom, Pilgrims Rest, Bourke's Luck Pothole, Graskop and stayed over at Kruger for two days before heading back to Joburg and then driving back to Maritzburg.

      I am a white person living in this awesome country my whole life. Half of the white people left after 1994 after apartheid. I have been in many countries but there is no place like home. We have a lot of challenges, but you can be anywhere and start a conversation with any person black or white. It is normal to greet people as you pass them even they are we are all strangers. This is part of black culture. The open verbal and physical racesism and profiling of black people in America is appalling to all of us to witness. Al the ‘Karens’😄 In South Africa you will not get away with that. We call it hate speach and two white ladies landed in jail by just calling nack peole names. People get away with criminal behaviour in the form of overt racesism in America because they know they cam get away with it. My heart breaks for African Americans and other minority groups. We also have a lot of racesism here, but because we have a law called hate speach. You see very little open display of that. We need our brothers and sisters from America to come back to your home soil and help building this beautiful continent. You will never have to teach your children to fear the cops or being attact by whites. Thank you for a good side of my country❤️

    I just discovered your channel, it is awesome. I'm a marketing consultant in Jozi and few months ago I was tasked with promoting a book adopted by government here in SA to build a new city called Luther City which is based on African American history. It has a planned shopping square called Malcom square and a park called Rosa park. The idea is to encourage African Americans to relocate here while making sure they dont miss the culture and history they built in the US. The President mentioned the book and its contents in the recent State of the nation address. It was one of my favorite projects. I love to see this, South Africa, and Africa really has potential if we work it while enjoying it.

We tear up for this side too for Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, George Floyd and millions of Black Americans (people that look like me too by the way) murdered by the police every year. Life is complicated for the Black soul everywhere. Colonization and Apartheid is still crippling millions of Africans and South Africans - heavily.
