You are most welcome in SA and I love your message and views. The colour of our skin doesn't differentiate us, it's our cultures. The more we integrate, the more we understand and accept each other. Keep smiling people and let's embrace and respect one another. Mooi man!
I absolutely love you Haley. Been following you for a few months on Instagram. I think from my perspective what you don't know you bring is a lens into the Afrikaans and South African culture to look at ourselves and our culture in a total new way. You reflect things to us that we have never thought about in that way, because it's like the fish trying to see the water. And there's lots of humor in that discovery that you communicate in a unique and relatable way. Keep it up and you're most welcome to our country.
Loved this. I think I followed you because I was so impressed at your language-learning capabilities. You even have the accent right. But I love your overall message. I love that you believe in our rainbow nation. And I will always welcome someone like you.
Rugby... Strangely enough... Is the sport where SA is in complete unity. Dis you see the people in the streets in the videos after we win the Rugby world cup. It was amazing!!!!
The last couple of years I've been focusing on the geopolitical trouble brewing and focused more on America than I have my entire life. The one realization, whether right or wrong, I had was that Americans really have a sense of community and TH-cam influencers is like the people speaking up for communities. I followed you because I was hoping we could emulate such an environment here at home.
You are such a blessing!! Yes, I agree…we follow where our Lord leads and do what He says! You are a breath of fresh air in South Africa and for it’s people! I love watching you because it reminds me of how special South Africa and all the people are..! It is amazing to see how you adapt and enjoy the different cultures in South Africa! I am an Afrikaans South African and we have been living on your turf for 27 years!! The USA is where the Lord lead us too and it was not an easy road! We have no family here and we miss them! I love where we live in beautiful Naples, Florida and I love the American people and the different accents like the Southerner’s etc. Keep those video’s coming!❤
Its about time you did a youtube channel keep up the good work and don't worry about the haters I have met Americans who prefer to live in South Africa than America. Your Afrikaans will improve and for an American you speak good Afrikaans. Keep up the good work.
Please ignore anyone that say you are not welcome in SA. Of course you are welcome!!!!! I am living in Europe and yes, like you said, I miss SA a lot, its diversity and its beauty. It is so cool to see a fellow follower of Jesus enjoying SA and also learning some of its languages. Keep posting about SA and your experiences here. By the way, your Afrikaans is awesome!!!
I do have a question for you if you don't mind. We're there any Americans against your move to South Africa it will be interesting to do a video on that if there were Americans against your move to South Africa it will be interesting to know. It's just an idea and yes for a Rooinek I can speak fluent Afrikaans but can not spell proply I can't even spell the king's English properly. But I hope you do more videos please. You one of my favorite TH-cam's I have many. Keep up the good work thanks
It's human nature and it's everywhere in the world, but we can each just try our best to understand and respect others and spread kindness, whatever form it may take. ❤
Amen Sister! I think sometimes us South Africans need a fresh perspective. Also, anyone saying you don’t belong here…there is a very good chance that if they go far enough back they don’t either 🙄🙄🙄 South Africa belong to all who live in it! Also married as a English/German South African to an Afrikaaner…the best 😁
Great video - SA is absolutely beautiful and we had so much to be proud of (had) but now, it's a shithole. We also want to believe it can be better but what would you recommend we do about people finding ways to get past the electric fencing in our gated community to break into homes with pangas and guns while innocent people are sleeping? Also, how do we stop the criminals from lurking in parking lots and then grabbing peoples handbags? Oh and the farm murders? It's out of control. It's gone too far. The good people are leaving.
I thought you were famous 😂 weird seeing your yt with so few followers 😮 but us South Africans love you…. The negative people are just jealous they aren’t home
@@heyvandermerwe ok... Cute! I'm just wondering if you won't attract more viewers or connect with the audience more of you look at the camera. Love your hair by the way!

The memes part is so true. My son said one day that the best comedy in the world are in the comment sections.😂
Aaaah love this video! 🙌
@@esmereldamalan9149 thank you!
Eish! The division in SA I'm hopeless if it'll end😖
It's human nature and it's everywhere in the world, but we can each just try our best to understand and respect others and spread kindness, whatever form it may take. ❤
@@VusiMatlala-k8x we’ll get there. 🤍
@@maruskaehrensdorfer yep! One person at a time. One decision at a time.
Interesting approach .. 💫🌈have subscribed.. bit of an echoey sound..maybe your hotel room? Next one from under the bedspread perhaps 🤣

Ek het groot geword in Kinross en bly nou in Limpopo en ek stem saam dat niks by die Bosveld se mooi kom nie.
Amen, well done

You are so in your grandmother's house.
@@DN-kz7xl I just have grandmother style. 🤣
@@heyvandermerwe Nooo🤣
@@DN-kz7xl would it help if I tell you it’s cooler in person and we get tons of compliments on our style? 😩🤣
Don't turn the comments off. Ignore the haters or don't read the comments.
@@Francoisdp82 that’s much easier said than done!

@@daniellemetz1433 I’m not famous at all! Just a bit of a following on Insta. 😊
Hoeveel 'vd Merwe' grappe kry jy op 'n dag? Of is dit iets vd verlede? 😜🤭
✝️
Do you know that you're not looking at the camera during recording? I'm sure you do... Just thought I'd ask.
@@DaleenBienks Ha! Yes, I’m looking at myself to see that I don’t look a mess 🤪
