Oh my goodness!!! Watching this video brought back soooo many amazing memories! Thank you so much, Rickey, for speaking with us. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip - even if our interview did occur on our last day in Johannesburg (which was sad overall). We are so grateful for the wisdom that you & Chrystle poured into us. Thank you both for being genuinely amazing people. We can’t wait to connect again when we return. Please don’t be strangers! 💛💛💛
Welcome to the warm heart of South Africa brother !!!..I can see the love this man has for his woman...wonderful !!!!! Come in peace and you will be very happy here.
Thank you so much, family! It is 1000% reciprocal. Eric & I are truly blessed to have one another. Thank you so much for your kindness and for watching! 💛
what stood out for me is how the beautiful couple held hands throughout the conversation. i love to see my people loving each other, growing older and thriving together
The whole thing of our black Americans moving to South Africa is so emotional and spiritual uplifting. It feels like a long lost twins reuniting. Great work Ricky ❤
Our africa Americans brothers and sisters are the key to making Africa great with skills and knowledge they have to help us close this gap that is created. Welcome home fam, we are grateful to have you king🫅and queen 👸
Johannesburg is the New York of Africa ..Literally ..everyone from everywhere is in Joburg ..so i understand why AA fall in love with the city compared to other SA cities
You don't know how it feels like to hear that our African Americans are coming back home we love it. As south africans we understand what happened to our ancestors.
Correction!! They are BLACK AMERICANS .Since there is no European Americans , But White or just Americans. be a Critical Thinker. STOP Following the MOB Psychology narrative.
And as Africans who were born in America, you don’t know how much it means to us to hear you say that. We appreciate you & we can hardly wait to get home. For good. 💛 Thank you so much for watching.
@@Healingsonthere's enough for everyone not to mention hard currency gets invested. You should look at Nigeria and Egypt to grasp what I am talking about.
This discussion was as profound as that one you had with your parents,inspiring for your people back in the US and a tribute of love for all of us here in SA 🇿🇦 and the whole continent.Indeed the bones of our ancestors are rattling in celebration of the very unapologetically proud Africans that you all are. I congratulate them on their decision to learn isiZulu,not just because they'll be able to connect with us but mostly because they deserve to speak a language of their own people,one that has no link to the brutality of slavery and colonisation.I'm very touched by how deep this interaction was,may God bless our beloved country and may He bless you all 🇿🇦✊🏾.
Thank you so very much! Eric & I truly appreciate your kindness. I saw the video with Rickey’s parents so I consider that a great honor. 😊 And absolutely, speaking the language (at least one of them) is not an option for us. If we’re going to live in Africa, we’re going to speak the language of the natives. 💛
Wow brother Ricky! Your technical improvements are leaving the other podcasts in the dust! You are leading the way! Your sound quality is perfect! And the 2 camera views !!!!! Looking forward to read the PhD report.
This couple is one of the best visitor couples youtube has ever given us. I have been watching their videos. So open and honest. I loved their interaction with the great Sipho Hotstix Mabuse, who strangely looks like the husband😊😊. They have given us some great videos.Goosebumps with that sipho moment but i eatched the video before they came here.
Thank you so much! We sincerely appreciate you & your kindness. Sipho is such an amazing person & we were honored to spend time with him while there. I’m so happy you’re enjoying our videos. Please continue to watch. We have great things in store! 💛
yes we do have that village life too, just wanna say i am so proud of you South African brothers and sisters that are putting money back into the villages, cuz yoh so many mansions in villages now, the tuscany style houses too, people really putting money back into their ancestral lands and its a trend to build these beautiful big houses in the villages, lets keep each other inspired , in our beautiful peaceful villages , and to our American Brothers and sisters, lol might wanna look into those villages in SA too, peaceful beautiful living
To be honest you guys look familiar, visit random 3 malls and you are guaranteed to see several people looking exactly like you. I can even name people you look alike. You are home, were you belong, were your roots are at
This was breathtaking one of the best Podcast interview of many from The Jones family. It was so inspiring and informative and Mr Jones your interview skills your questioning skills was next to non it was a joy to watch and to listen and above all this was the best couple well respectful and knowledgable hopefully they are going to South Africa I can safely say Welcome Home.
You know sitting here and watching, I am thinking, this was going to happen one way or the other. Africa is your ancestral land. No wonder you feel at home when you come here.❤❤❤
37:52 please wear it every year on the 24th of September, its our heritage day where we wear them. We wear them to remember who we are and where we come from. Its a public holiday dedicated to our heritage.
@@eyeforafrikaSeptember is a significant month in our history. In Zulu September is "Mandulo" meaning Ancient. It's also a month in which king Shaka died. Some people say it is our real new year.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us. September is important to me too. It’s the month my maternal grandmother (the amazing woman who raised me) was born. September is a beautiful month, indeed. 💛
We love your intro but we changed it.. to "we're trying to keep up with the Joneses" We love you'll and can't wait to meet you all in person!!!!!! Prayfully June Shout out to Raiyne... we love when she is on she is so cute, intelligent. she keeps the family in order (lol), and loves the Lord... A beautiful blessed little girl and R3 is so cute... We pray for you all each day, your family is such a blessing to so many .. Praise God for your ministry
Thank you so much, Sis! It was such a pleasure connecting with you. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to meet you in person too & I’m SO excited for your upcoming trip to Johannesburg! 💛
@@chanteyelliottHI Chantelle. Do you have any channel where I can follow you? Background, I'm white, originally from the UK, lived in S A for years, and have always had a love and passion for Africa. I hate the negativity and would love to hear your views about the propaganda. Many thanks and much respect, Cathy x
Amazing people! Incredible couple! Beautiful from inside out. You are carving a path for the generations that will come after you. All the best with your PhD endeavours and looking forward seeing you making a significant impact in your generation. Welcome home 🙏
South Africa does give a soft landing to the continent of Africa..its not perfect..has its problems (afterall its Africa)..but it does give a tad bit of familiararity )sp) for a majority of Westerners..hence YT folks fill those planes at any given day from Atlanta to the city of Johannesburg (Delta)..theyve been doing it for years..Now its about time Africans from the Diaspora to fill those plane seats...
You have zimbabweans telling black South Africans to learn their zimbabwean language in our schools. The share arrogance from these African immigrants who come to South Africa is the most shocking. Thank you for the love, thank you for the respect you have displayed for us, it's something we are not used to. It's a breath of fresh air Much love to this great couple. Welcome home fam...
Arg man , you don’t always have to put down other nationalities to praise the other. It’s already know in the US that South Africans hate other Africans. You guys keeps proving the right
Wow!! This was absolutely one of the best interviews EVVVVERRRR!! Love this couple, what part of Texas, because I'm in Houston, I need there connection, thank you to the Amazing Jones Family, Ricky you are doing such a great job!! Praise God for this channel❤
Just a tip - when one loves a particular wine(like Chenin Blanc) we identify the particular farm of origin and the year of vintage. Off course you should connect with that farm on the internet ... Many farms export their champion wines ... 🍻
Eric's resilience, is a telling that he was born of the black industrous ancestors of Tulsa. Historically, black people of Tulsa is the first generation of black folks who tought us, it is possible, to rise and become anything that you want be, regardless.
Oh wow!!! I was so touched I watched it TWICE!!! 😅last night and today again.... And I love LOVE the passion in especially Mrs Graham (spelling?) and I really think she should be the spokesperson for the African Diaspora 😂 I do however want to mention that she shouldn't be so hard on the fellow diaporans to learn the language. The vernacular is not for everyone. And I'm sure my black brothers and sisters will agree that respect goes further than learning the language/s. Just come with good intentions, is all we ask. 💖 Ricky, thanks again for being that beacon for the chosen ones to come back home. ❤ See you sooner than 3 years beautiful peoples. 😂💖
I love this 🎉 I am from Cape Town, South Africa... Welcome to South Africa it's such an honour for you all to be here for the longest time I've hated my country and was obsessed with the USA now I don't have a desire to live in the USA anymore I love my country I would just like to visit the USA, I've never been outside of South Africa yet.
Such and enlightening interview - I really enjoyed this one. Do keep them coming, Ricky!!! Veronica looks so much like one of our SA celebs by the name of Gerry Rantseli, very beautiful soul, inside out! Africa is indeed your birthright!
Thank you for providing another great video. I know you are trying to steer away from the “ don’t keep up with the Jones” intro. But I too be anticipating it and ready to sing and dance along. But I completely understand.. thanks again and keep up the good work.
Welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 it your home now. Wishing all the best in moving process when it tough come back to read the comments. We can't wait to have you back permanently. I love the advise you gave to the guy who live in the shacks if he takes your advise you just made an impact in his life, family and community.
I am South African and you are more than welcome, like the US, South Africa is a melting pot of Cultures, Religions, Skin Colors, very friendly people open hearted, but like the US we also got our problems, unfortunately 1% always make life hell for the 99%. Just be wise, stay away from areas you dont feel comfortable, basically, what you won't be doing in the US do the same in Soutrh Africa. I am white and my family has been in Africa for 400 years, and there is something in the air or the water that makes you African, yes, I am African, a White African and I will never be anything else.
First, Ricky, your interviewing skill is nodging with every interview. 💯 I enjoyed this interview a lot. When the lady started speaking, I got goosebumps while I was running an espresso . I got glued to this interview. Before she said she is a communicator I thought wow this woman speak so articulate. She pulls you in. Her husband is a gentle soul. I am just curious to know why no one is moving to Pretoria?
I appreciate that the kind words and yes she was/is amazing for sure and well said about Mr. Eric. That's a valid question, speaking for us, God specifically told us to move to Johannesburg so that settled that.
Your channel is teaching us S.Africans alot about our country, we complain about everything and given so we have democracy right, but if we were to sit and look and research about other countries we are in the equal with a lot of countries oversees Americans moving here and sharing their experiences with both countries is a very great way for us to learn and reduce the complains, learn to speak well about our country I'm in tourism and I had to unlearn speaking bad about my country cause people from Europe would be like oh that's what you call that situation here and they would tell you what they call it in their countries and that's when you realise that media has done alot of damage in putting Africa in a bad light
Omg... Veronica im going to be emailing you again sis, i desperately want to donate to a orphanage upon arrival to SA. You guys are outstanding individuals!❤❤
Loved this couple and their insights!! Driving on the other side is not as difficult as one might think. I made the switch several times decades ago...
I like the fact that Europeans and Americans are telling the truth about South Africa being African best country and better than US in some areas important. I have not heard anything from them about Nigeria
Don't let South Africans enter into a meaningless competition with Nigeria or any other African country! Leave that to the Nigerians, who started the competition! Silence is golden sometimes!😊😊
@@mtshedamarunyane5465 Even with potholes, South African roads are lightyears more developed than Naijas. They have far more dusty gravel roads than most Southern African countries. High crime rate is driven by Nigerians and Zimbabweans in the country. Is Nigeria having equal society? Have you been to Nigeria?
I love your channel so much,❤❤❤ can you please do video explaining the benefits of Nomads or Diaspora in the country they move to ? I only learned of the subject when I got to TH-cam and have been struggling on finding any research on the matter 😊
the most South African thing we will do when we like someone. We give you a Local name. Like our Rugby Hero Eben Edzebeth he is now Elizabedi its out of love and respect and admiration. its the most South African thing we do. cause you get us and we get to share us with you.
I think it is awesome that the sister is doing a much needed dissertation on those inconsistencies. However, what about the inconsistencies in our attitudes about visiting other countries/continents? It seems like assimilation is welcomed and almost expected everywhere else except in the US...Here we must welcome all and ACCEPT all that comes...
This video is amazing... You should definitely come here and become permanent residents... Definitely engaged in entrepreneurships projects... Teaching people how to fish will always be better than charity... However charity is always welcome... People sometimes just need the helping hand and dure those children from Uganda are blessed... While South African has a huge inequality gap, we also have a huge growth potential... South Africa is full of young educated Africans sitting at home... We need more Black Americans to come back home... Share their business accumen and the strength of the dollar... it's a winning recipe... So you have something to come back to...
Yeah the gates and wires and keys to every door, was really difficult for me to get used too. But it is what it is, but yeah I haven't been a fan. Just not used to it as a Native of the US
Oh my goodness!!! Watching this video brought back soooo many amazing memories! Thank you so much, Rickey, for speaking with us.

what a time we had indeed!!! Nothing but love for this family and you already know it wont be our last connection!!! Cheers to many many more!
Please bring them to Dbn/Kzn as well next time to explore more into our country and experience the warm Indian Ocean ❤
Welcome to the warm heart of South Africa brother !!!..I can see the love this man has for his woman...wonderful !!!!! Come in peace and you will be very happy here.
Thank you so much, family! It is 1000% reciprocal. Eric & I are truly blessed to have one another. Thank you so much for your kindness and for watching! 💛
I like how Ricky is not imposing his experiences on his guests. He let them speak their thoughts without interrupting
Yes indeed, it's their experience to share!
Welcome back home my sisters and brothers ❤
what stood out for me is how the beautiful couple held hands throughout the conversation. i love to see my people loving each other, growing older and thriving together
Couldn't agree more!
@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL wow,she is so beautiful and doesn't even look 50yrs. Aging graceful ❤❤❤❤
Wow Tata Sipho Hotstix is a Legend...they were in the presence of greatness...big ups to the beautiful couple❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
The whole thing of our black Americans moving to South Africa is so emotional and spiritual uplifting. It feels like a long lost twins reuniting. Great work Ricky ❤
Thank you kindly and yes it’s a beautiful thing to be back and for others to return as well.
I pray that they all come back home. Especially the ones in the ghetto 😢

She's 50. Wow. She looks 30. Beautiful people in and outside. Loved the interview. Welcome home. Welcome to Mzansi. You gonna love it.
I was going to say 35. She's stunning.
Johannesburg is the New York of Africa ..Literally ..everyone from everywhere is in Joburg ..so i understand why AA fall in love with the city compared to other SA cities
Hahahaha yes indeed.
This sounds accurate
But Cape Town is undoubtedly more vegan friendly among all the big cities.

This discussion was as profound as that one you had with your parents,inspiring for your people back in the US and a tribute of love for all of us here in SA 🇿🇦 and the whole continent.Indeed the bones of our ancestors are rattling in celebration of the very unapologetically proud Africans that you all are.

Please do! I’m excited too! Thank you
Thank you so much! Sadly, there’s not much literature out there on my research topic. That’s why it’s so needed.
Your channel is teaching us S.Africans alot about our country, we complain about everything and given so we have democracy right, but if we were to sit and look and research about other countries we are in the equal with a lot of countries oversees
Americans moving here and sharing their experiences with both countries is a very great way for us to learn and reduce the complains, learn to speak well about our country

Hello, Sanibonani and Welcome hone for real. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Oh sisi, Happy Blated Season....❤❤❤
Beautiful couple and she looks South African too, If II came across them at the mall I'd think they are local..
Thank you, Beautiful! I’m actually Nigerian. But as long as I look native, I’ll take it! 😉💛
I like the fact that Europeans and Americans are telling the truth about South Africa being African best country and better than US in some areas important. I have not heard anything from them about Nigeria
Don't let South Africans enter into a meaningless competition with Nigeria or any other African country! Leave that to the Nigerians, who started the competition! Silence is golden sometimes!😊😊
Potholes, unemployment, unequal society, load shedding and crime
@@mtshedamarunyane5465 Even with potholes, South African roads are lightyears more developed than Naijas. They have far more dusty gravel roads than most Southern African countries. High crime rate is driven by Nigerians and Zimbabweans in the country. Is Nigeria having equal society? Have you been to Nigeria?
We all know South africa 🇿🇦 is the richest development country in the continent
😂😂😂 come on.... This beef is not necessary...
Great interview❤❤❤Love your guests and their insights❤❤❤
Welcome to South Africa Guys.✋
Welcome to SA family

Thank you
My fiance surprised me with Marble for our 1 year anniversary, and I absolutely loved it, totally my vibe🎉
Alright now, Congratulations
the most South African thing we will do when we like someone. We give you a Local name. Like our Rugby Hero Eben Edzebeth he is now Elizabedi its out of love and respect and admiration. its the most South African thing we do. cause you get us and we get to share us with you.
Midstream is situated in Centurion East not the south of Johannesburg
They didn't say it's in the South.
I think it is awesome that the sister is doing a much needed dissertation on those inconsistencies. However, what about the inconsistencies in our attitudes about visiting other countries/continents? It seems like assimilation is welcomed and almost expected everywhere else except in the US...Here we must welcome all and ACCEPT all that comes...
It's about time that narrative about Africa being unsafe
I agree with you. There is much work to be done in both areas. Perhaps I can tackle that one next. 😉 Thank you for watching!
This video is amazing... You should definitely come here and become permanent residents... Definitely engaged in entrepreneurships projects... Teaching people how to fish will always be better than charity... However charity is always welcome... People sometimes just need the helping hand and dure those children from Uganda are blessed... While South African has a huge inequality gap, we also have a huge growth potential... South Africa is full of young educated Africans sitting at home... We need more Black Americans to come back home... Share their business accumen and the strength of the dollar... it's a winning recipe... So you have something to come back to...
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Welcome home, family
Thank you so much, family!
Great conversation!

Beautiful couple..

Stay in joburg it’s genuine it’s not fake like Cape Town and Cape Town is so over priced and

Yeah the gates and wires and keys to every door, was really difficult for me to get used too. But it is what it is, but yeah I haven't been a fan. Just not used to it as a Native of the US
