The colored people of South Africa are the most genetically mixed people in the world, with genetic heritage from the Bantu, Khoisan, South East Asian, European and Middle Eastern. Mitochondrial DNA studies have demonstrated that many maternal lines of the Coloured population are descended from Khoisan women. As a consequence of Apartheid policies and despite the abolition of the Population Registration Act in 1991, Coloureds are regarded as one of four race groups in South Africa.
Thank you and welcome to Afroartista Films. The Coloured community has a rich history that dates back to the arrival of the first Dutch settlers in the 17th century. These settlers brought with them slaves from Indonesia, Madagascar, and other parts of Africa, and through intermarriage, a new mixed-race population was formed. The Coloured people were considered a separate group from the white settlers and the indigenous black population, and were subject to different laws and policies under apartheid.
About twenty percent of the Coloured speak English as their mother tongue, mostly those of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Virtually all Cape Town Coloureds are bilingual. About 13.5% of the South African population, around 7 million people, speak Afrikaans as a first language, making it the third most common natively-spoken language in the country. This is the language that most Coloured people speak. It evolved from early Dutch spoken by the first immigrants from Holland and despite obvious similarities with Dutch, it is today considered as a distinct language. Here is a sample of the language.
Coloureds are mostly found in the western part of South Africa. In Cape Town, they form 45.4% of the total population. The various subgroups of the coloured people are the Cape Malays, The Griqua, Cape Colored as well as any other mixed race broadly labelled as others. Cape Coloureds identify as black in every other country besides Namibia. The reason is because the racial classification in other countries is different from South Africa and Namibia's racial classification and other countries don't have the racial classification "coloured".
The Coloured community faced significant challenges throughout history, particularly during the apartheid era. They were denied many basic rights and faced discrimination in areas such as education, employment, and housing. The end of apartheid in 1994 brought significant changes for the Coloured community. They were no longer legally classified as a separate group and were granted the same rights as other South Africans. However, many Coloured people still face economic and social challenges, particularly economic inequality, Education disparities, Health disparities, Housing crisis, racial discrimination, Political under-representation and violence and crime.
Despite these challenges, the Coloured community has remained a vital and vibrant part of South African society. They continue to make important contributions to the country's culture, economy and politics. They have played a prominent role in the country's music, arts, and sports, and have produced many notable figures such as Alex la Guma, Trevor Noah, Peter Abrahams, Abdullah Ibrahim, AKA rest in Peace, Sho Machozi, and Zola Budd among many others. The Cape Malay coloured people are responsible for one of the most vibrant South African subcultures which can be seen in their unique Afrikaans dialect, foods and entertainment.
In conclusion, the Coloured people of South Africa are a diverse and resilient group that has played a significant role in the country's history and culture. They have faced many challenges throughout history, particularly during the apartheid era, but have remained a vital and vibrant part of South African society. It's important that we continue to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of the Coloured community, and to work towards addressing the on-going challenges they face. Thank you for watching and see you again.
Trevor is not Coloured, he is mixed race. People still don't understand Coloured, that's why the stupid comments, even from Black South Africans.
We never said trevor is colored
He's mixed race But classified as coloured in South Africa
According to the law of the land , a person of mixed race is termed coloured , going back to the apartheid unchanged race classification laws . Therefore Trevor IS COLOURED !
in SA coloured IS mixed race - it is simply another term for it....
Agree 👍
I'm black South African 🇿🇦 at a younger we were given so many misconception about our coloured brothers and sister up until I was old enough to judge for myself and discovered that they such welcoming and warm hearted ❤❤ people plus eish they have very good looking women yesesss😂
YES. 👏🏻
Mixed Masala ! 😁
Yes, we've got beautiful women.
They're not your brothers they're half breed abominations fathered by white males. You should be disgusted by them
They're really dope❤
They look so much like Brazilian people! Brazil has a lot of mixtures like that too.
South Africa is just as mixed as Brazil
@@stezano430. But more Brazilian identify as Black.
@@stezano430 no south africa is not as mixed as brazil brazil is 45.1% mixed race and south africa is 10% mixed race
@@jusadude186no more Brazilians identify as negro not black more brazilians identify as pardo
But way more beautiful
Coloureds are an ethnic group, and isn't based on skin tone, just because Trevor Noah and Sho Majozi are mixed doesn't mean they are Coloured, they identify as Black..Trevor will most like say he is Xhosa because he grew up in that culture...
Actually Trevor identified as
BI-RACIAL , he rightfully acknowledges his white ancestry . I don't get why black Bantu south Africans want to force coloured people to call themselves black !🤔☹️
Thank you, coloureds are an ethnic group, Trevor Noah is a bloody fool.
Coloureds same as the Afrikaans have a great sense of humour.
Trevor Noah isn’t colored
Trevor Noah can be who he WANTS TO BE. If his SWISS father had married his Mum he would also be here in Switzerland like so many other Swiss coloured children like my sons.
Hayi! Seriously :Half Swiss, half Xhosa is not black.
For those confused about the Coloureds & their distinction between Blacks or simply 'mixed race' people's, I'll give a summarized description below. For context, I lived in/around Cape Town for about 5 years, my wife/in-laws are all Coloured & I've studied their history at some length:
Coloureds are a distinct ethnic group predominately in the Western & Northern Cape and as far east as Port Elizabeth. They had a couple independent republics further east at the time of the the Afrikaner great trek as well called Griqualand. Their African admixture was typically Khoi/San, not Bantu. In Cape Town they might wellhaven Malay ancestry as well. The Malasian influence on cuisine spread universally throughout the Coloured people in South Africa as well (TONS of curry).
Culturally they have no tribal affiliation, unlike Bantus or Bushmen, have been largely westernized for centuries (similar to Mestizos in the Americas) & practiced Christianity since their ethnogenesis in the 17th-early 18th century. One of the first governors of the Cape Colony, Simon Van der Stel, was actually a 1st/2nd generation Coloured. The city of Stellenbosch outside of Cape Town is named after him. Linguistically they're responsible for largely altering the Dutch language unto what became Afrikaans, which is spoken by them and the Afrikaners (boers) as their primary language.
Partially due to their shared ancestry with the Afrikaners & co-mingling with them since Dutch arrival to the Cape, they've lived in the same communities as them, though in different neighborhoods for centuries. They do not consider themselves 'black' for all of these reasons, nor does anybody else in South Africa. Blacks, until quite recently, lived further east & north from the coloureds. If you ever visit Cape Town you will notice very different phenotype & cultural differences between Coloureds and the Bantu blacks who live in the city. Now somebody like Trevor Noah is mixed race but not Coloured. Reason being is that his mother was Xhosa, his father was Swiss, he grew up in a black township of Soweto in Johannesburg & spoke English & Xhosa. He did/does not have the cultural, linguistic, regional & the ethnic heritage of being Coloured.
In fact, in certain areas like Mitchell's Plain & the adjoining black townships like Philipi, Nyanga & Khyletshia, there can be quite a bit of racial/ethnic tension, particularly where these areas bump up against each other, largely due to issues of crime. Politically Coloureds vote contrary to the large majority of the black population as well, and when polled on the subject, tend to favor secession of the Western Cape from the rest of South Africa. Hope that helps.
This should be pinned.
Very well explained., 💕
100% , well said !👍
📍📌📍 the comment
Very good...
What you left out is that under apartheid we not deemed to white enough, and now under ANC we are not deemed to be black enough, therefore the racist discrimination continue. Have the new racist employment laws? Yea, that one.
And what you don't seem to know is that BEE (black economic empowerment) actually includes all races that were oppressed under apartheid, indians ( e.g Guptas) including chinese. You probably don't know your politics as usual. You still want to follow your master after why not because they classed as second class citizens while blacks were classified as third class citizens so at times your confusion is understandable. Btw both my paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather were 'coloureds' so i don't really have issues with coloureds but they don't seem to care about understanding SA politics. You've just exposed that fact in your comment.
Its seems YOU dont understandstand SA politics.IF it is the case about BEE why is there a race cassification on all goverment application forms.???? In fact on all employment application forms??????@@clementmpushe5957
Funny how Coloreds would die than be associated with Blackness, and then still claim that Blacks do not want to associate with them
Proud to have coloured people in my family ❤
Proud to Afrikaaners in my Family... I keep telling them it translates to African. and they blush
Afrikaans are not red- blooded Africans,quit lying
Afrikaans translates to what? Afrikaaner trnslates to what? you speak Afrikaans naaier? nee so hou jou beck ma se poes@@EmmanuelBediako-yg8ne
You Didn't mention Wayde Van Niekerk , he is a coloured
They also forgot Youngsta CPT
Yes I too am proud to be coloured but why portray all couloured as gangsters and rappers.Pls show the world who the decent and cultured couloureds really are too.proud to be S.African.
So if you’re a rapper you’re not decent?
I agree , I'm so tired of coloureds being portrayed as a bunch of good for nothing, uneducated , gangster thugs.
& they didn't portray all coloureds as rappers : gangsters.. she mentioned that we made sport, entertainment & political contributions.
Think U need watch da video again haha
Don't want to be called Black but can take Black culture like rap and if you never read "The Willie Lynch letter I am posting it in the comments about how the white people divided us by giving the lighter skinned Blacks ( that they raped their mothers ) more privileges than the darker Blacks. I am disgusted that anywhere on Earth there are still people so proud to be what they used to call all Black people in Amerikkka ( colored) we rejected that in the 1960's with " I am Black and I'm Proud " and Black Power. So sad to see they can end Apartheid but can't take away the Apartheid mentality. GOD willing Julius Malema will bring you to your senses. There is no such race as colored, come to Amerikkka and parts of Europe and they will see you as the N-words.
@@aubreeriley818 As black American I totally understand ursulavanleeve. Rap is one part of youth culture but people overly place that rap dynamic on an entire culture when the parents wouldn't even identify with that. Show the foods, dances, folklore etc don't put some kids throwing up gang signs as someone's entire culture that's ignorant especially when most rappers are talking about drugs and sex. That's not how you dignify your people.
Correction:
Just because you are mixed race, does not mean you are Coloured.
Trevor Noah is NOT Coloured.
Trevor is definitely coloured !
@@yardhe7290 that's a different coloured. He's not cape coloured.
@@jasonvoorhees6152 I agree , I think Trevor meant to say he's not Cape coloured . According to the law of the land , all mixed race people are termed COLOURED .
Yardhe in the South African context he is NOT coloured.
In the Apartheid era, Trevor Noah would have likely been classified Coloured, but because a non-native in-colony culture & Dutch (Afrikaans) linguistics became the basis of the Coloured label, a person who is of mixed race today would not likely define themselves as coloured if not part of the generally Afrikaans (Dutch) -speaking culture.
Its not just a colour it's a culture too.
We are all the colours therefore it's all about the culture.
@justjoey6939
But it's your country and in your country your culture suffices. In the U.S. our Black American Culture suffices. We really don't care what you call yourselves in your country. Leave us out of your equation. We stamped the names of the COLONIZERS OUT and we are not reintroducing that word here for anyone! As long as we treat you with respect that should be all you should be concerned about with Black Americans.
@@adrian100 What color are you ?
What color ? Green,Blue,Red,Orange or purple,what a stupid label, vestiges of apartheid
Trevor Noah doesn't regard himself as Coloured. He's a direct black/white split which is different.
I can regard myself as a dog but im human 😂😂 point is his coloured.
Direct black white split is not even a thing 😂😂
Apartheid law labelled all mixed people COLOURED. You're not special
@dairealtalkmetmoux6575 No he is not coloured, he is mixed race, a direct off spring of a black and white person, same like in my family
@@Marysmmiiith Most white Europeans have no idea that "Coloureds" in South (and Southern) Africa denotes a new racial subcategory of people who have emerged over the last 4 centuries and are a mix of black, khoisan, Indian, Malaysian and white in varying degrees. My wife is Cape Coloured whereas as I'm white Afrikaner.
Trevor Noah is not coloured lol! He identifies as biracial.
Coloureds of South Africa are like the Mestizos of Latin America. Their physical appearance, cultural practices and languages are mix of various influences whether its indigenous, colonial or from immigrant groups.
They’re more like African Americans….
Thats what we are 😂 we are a mix of european and native admixture
As a Meztizo (Half Spanish half indigenous from Joaca) Los Angeles, we do not resemble the colored people of SA.
@@EdwardSeeto i was not referring to the physical appearance. i was referring to the similarities on how the mestizo and coloureds came about.
Gotcha Chris.We look more like Hawaiians with our fair/olive skin ,light eyes wavy hair,it's why I hang out on the big island.That and the blue water fishing!
Some mixed people dont go by colored but choose to go by black and their tribe name. Not all biracial people in South Africa automatically identify as colored. My cousins are biracial and identify as black and Zulu
Good, that name needs to be banished.
@icilmaa I don't think they want to do that.
I think that comes down to social circumstance, I do identify as coloured but I feel like circumstantial because where I'm from there are people with darker skin then me, some of them are of African decent, some are from Indian and evens Indonesian decent but they are identify as coloured, our country is so diverse and that's what makes it so great, coloured is a proudly South African product🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@racerray3693 Coloured was created by Europeans as a label and category. What gives them the right and power to tell people how they should be identified?
Who cares bra, that happened, it's done, who in the world isn't feeling the effects of European Colonisation, are you gonna hold the crimes against humanity at that time against the victims then you should you should hold yourself accountable as well🤷🤷🤷
We all suffered under the same government let's not forget those who fought for our freedom regardless of colour
Is the background track for me,😂😂😂 brother got barrs awe.
Here after Tyla controversy!
This is 1 mixed race culture(respect). In Namibia there is another 1. A smaller group called Baster, derived from the English word bastard. They moved from De Tuin in the Western Cape in the late 1870's and bought farmland from the Nama people( sub tribe of the San formerly Bushmen). They called their new home Rehoboth. We are farmers and builders by trade.
They are an attractive people that's for sure(women, talking about the women😊) and I actually studied with a young lady from sa as an undergraduate. From what I hear she's doing quite well bless her heart. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Do you believe that orange Africans exists. We have proof of the existence of orange Africans on this channel
With that name, you are either a male that's Black American or Afro-British with the default acquiescence to Mixed women. How commonly typical!
The men are attractive too
@@idontgiveafaboutyou I guess, I love the women, especially after baring witness to them during my first visit.
I'm a colored person and I like watching videos about South Africa even though I live here. I've had this idea for a long time that I would like to make TH-cam videos about the issues that affect coloured people. Many videos are about the American perspective and mixed race people who are half-half. I see the black pride, but I've always wondered where is the coloured pride?
More COLOUREDS need to trace their ancestral roots .
So many don't realise they are direct descendants of the FIRST NATION people .
The United Nations has recognised and affirmed the Khoi/San as the only true indigenous people of SA .
Thus the black Bantu Nguni tribes are all mere migrants in the land of the Khoi and San .
The FIRST NATION and their descendants are the sole custodians of the land , this places the many so called coloureds above and ahead of the black Bantu imposters , who's indigenous homeland is north of the Limpopo river , up to the Congo !
Yes, please make a genuine SA video, we need them & see if you can get your family tree on it, there was so much toesmeerdery here in SA.
@@GodsWillShallBeDone-xt5id what's with this obsession of trying to make everybody black ??? Why ?
Concerning Mandela , it's interesting to note , that he very likely had Dutch blood !
@@yardhe7290and being mixed as you are, you are furthest from being a native in our soil. You know well that your ancestors is made up of malasian , asian and indians who came as slaves as well as european who cane in ships . so dont get ahead of yourself. You are way more foreign than the "bantu" people you speak of who are more related to the khoisan than you will ever be. Go get your land from outside the soil of africa if you will
Trevor Noah is not from the community you describe, his mother was Black, his father is from Europe and they had an illegal child, he was raised in the black community during apartheid and they had to hide him at all times. Read his book, it's marvelous, it is literally called "born a crime" lol. Any who I'm Canadian, but, this is basically my genetic make up described in the video, my family passed easily for white and has for generations, we just don't show anyone our palms back in the day, total give away with wider pigmented palmer lines.
Correct, Trevor noah is part Xhosa and Swiss if I'm not mistaken. He's not Coloured just mixed
In South Africa he would be categorized as coloured. All mixed persons in South Africa are lumped up under Coloured. Not Culturally though.
@@HisFinEco coloured are mixed foo
@@africaine4889 Yes, they are mixed but not all are visibly mixed. such as Benni McCarthy, also from cape town but looks like a typical "black" African. It is the same when referring to black Americans, Some have light-colored eyes, and straight hair, and 95% of all black Americans have at least 15-20% European ancestry. Therefore they are technically "mixed" but they are just called "black" for example Barack Obama. Being coloured is more of a culture in South Africa. Many mixed people in South Africa are not coloureds culturally, like Trevor Noah, he is more Xhosa than anything.
@@AfroArtistaFilmsYes, he would be called coloured at first glance but at further inspection, they would differentiate between him and a coloured person.

Waggou. Sho Madjozi nd Trevor Noah being coloured?? You might wanna check in w them on that
The Coloured community in the Western Cape is a diverse group of people with multicultural roots, including indigenous African, European, Asian, and Southeast Asian ancestries. The term "Coloured" refers to individuals who are of mixed ethnic origin and is a socially and politically complex issue in South Africa.
The Western Cape province has the highest percentage of Coloured people in South Africa, making up approximately 50% of the population. The community has a rich cultural heritage, with influences from various civilizations, such as the Khoisan, Dutch, Malay, and other African tribes.
In recent years, the Coloured community has faced challenges, such as high levels of poverty, unemployment, and inequality. The SA Genome Project 2021 aims to address some of these challenges by providing genetic research and data to improve healthcare and social policies for all South Africans, including the Coloured community.
The cape coloured community was largely formed around the Khoi tribe , and to a lesser extent the San . Inter marrying with the black Bantu Nguni tribes was very rare .
I always thought that people of India were referred to as Coulered in SA. This video describes them more so as Creole.
They are called Indian in SA
SA has race groups black white coloured Indian asian
@@nuhaasedick29 Not Asian don't lie
@@lindokuhle80 what are you talking about. You have clearly not filled in forms where the options for race come up. What do you think Chinese , Indonesians etc are called here
Travor noah is not colored. He is biracial. big difference
Seriously we don't care...get a grip.
The separation between white and coloured did not happen immediately as this video suggests. No white Afrikaner is pure white. The first Dutch settlers mostly came without their women and married Khoisan. It was the French Huguenots running away from religious persecution who were the first to come with all their women and also with a strict version of the Calvinist religion. Why apartheid was so stupid is that many families have members in more than one racial category. Some even in 3! The Coloured Xhosa have not been mentioned here either. Of mixed race they speak Xhosa as a first language and Afrikaans as a second language. The real situation is even more complex than this video makes out. I will not bore people with the complexities within my own family. Long Live South Africa! Long Live Africa!
This isn't about the Afrikaner, though. The world treats them (you?) as white, the system treats them (you? )as white so that's what they (you?) are, regardless of a miniscule percentage of KhoiSan DNA. I'm sick of whites forever inserting themselves (yourselves?) into the conversation whenever we talk about Coloureds.
This is kind of insulting to Coloureds with the skolly rappers and the narrator's ridiculous pronunciations.
The beautiful and mazing community and people that added another shade to my life. I am so grateful!
I see south africa cricketers and the audience in the stadium when there match is held. They are all of different colours supporting SA, so I always have wondered the reason.❤
Wow! I'm stunned to learn that the word " Colored" has a specific meaning of the ethnicity of these beautiful race of people. I've learned something new today. Love from this African American from the states. I hope to visit Cape Town soon.❤
Thank you for being so accepting and kind with your words. As a Cape Coloured I see a lot of similarities and contrast to the AA community and it scares and excited me at the same time.
@@adrian100 You're welcome brother. I've always been interested in South African history and culture. I'm planning on visiting soon. I'd also have to find a guide. May I ask, what makes you feel scared about African Americans?
“Beautiful” lmfao
We love African Americans long time.
I'm coloured from Cape Town and don't identify as "Black". You should get your facts straight. We are not Black and never will be. Ek is 'n bruin mense en is trots daarop. I do not have the same cultural background as the black tribes. We do not share the same food, music, etc. Maybe you should speak to us "Coloureds" before you post something like this.
Their women are the most beautiful people I have ever seen, their men can be scary and aggressive as they like to live like gangsters.
As Trevor Noah once said and I quote,
"When a coloured says I love you till death do us apart, they mean it , you try to leave ...they can kill you for that "😂😂😂😂.
The San people are also the only original inhabitants of Southern Africa
Not true , the KHOI together with the San are the only true indigenous people of SA . It's all the black Bantu Nguni tribes that are not indigenous to SA .
@@Yardhe ok the Khoi and the San
@@Yardhe thers like 13 other tribes that got killed off or fled then the khoi n san joined i went into my history n found out im korana
The most creative cursing and insults you will ever hear in your life. '
Basically in Apartheid South Africa it was West European Whites at top, followed by Coloureds, then South East Asians, Then Desis, Then Khois, Then Sans, Then Bantus at the very bottom yeah.
This is one type of coloured...not all coloureds are the same. Depends where they grew up, what education they received etc etc. Bad representation by not showing more examples of different class coloured people. #notAllColouredsAreGangsters.
Zola Bud is not colored....correct me if I'm wrong.
She was.
Glad I ran into this video. As a Black African born and raised in the United States, now residing in South Africa since 2016; I was always confused and curious with the term, coloured.
I'm just as confused with the term Black and White 🥴as far as I know, you cannot describe or label human beings according these terminology or profile... it's stupid and confusing to say the least 🤔
@@basheerwilliams4895 On point. People want to strip their moer when you say Coloured but White and Black is ok. 🤔
Are you saying you're confused about the term black and white in South Africa?... because you do know they use that too along with coloured 🥴

Awe....very proudly Cape Coloured..
Can you link the song, or atleast tell what the name of it is?
Such beautiful people ! ❤

Puerto Ricans and Brazilians too🤨👌
Trevor Noah is not coloured. He is mixed race. Big difference.
I usually enjoy learning from this channel but the inaccuracies and all out incorrect information on this video have made me doubt all the others I have watched.
Edit: Disappointed!
As a person who grew up in Eldorado Park, this is a really kak video with a lot of misrepresentation and conjecture. It is very myopic in the views expressed and misses the vastness of coloured life, culture and heritage and all the shades and influences in between. Julle kan sommer sien ek was in die Engelse klas, ne!? 😂🙈😭 Awee! Have a great day. Shap, shap👍
2:37 The other coloured subgroup are the Basters of Namibia
You've seemed to have missed that coloureds are made up primarily of Khoi and San people and then cape Malay. The Khoi and San people predate the arrival of European traders, colonizers and slave trade. The Khoi and San are the brown indigenous ancestors of the coloured you're refering here (Griguas are but one of many tribes). Malay are the second most dominant ancestors brought to South africa by the colonizers from Indonesia. European, then Bantu, and others then follow as ancestors to the coloured nation as referred to today.
"Coloured" was a term introduced during apartheid and all non- bantu, european, indian people were placed under this umbrella term.
The Khoi and San have been fighting off western traders and colonizers since the 1400s and have been fighting them until apartheid placed them under the coloured banner.
Cape Malays and all other under the banner of coloured have been fighting against discrimination and prejudice long before apartheid; and these groups face the same challenges today, however structured under a indirect and more politically acceptable methodology.
Afrikaans was also created by the Khoi and San translators predating the vast settlement of dutch.
Khoi and San are still around, alive and contributing to society in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana - but are still viewed under the lense of Apartheid as "Coloureds" with NO recognition of their history, contributions and ancestory.
That said thanks for focusing on our community and people.
Tawedas, Gangans!
And dont forget Eastern Cape , bethelsdorp, Uitenhage , Adelaide, Aberdeen ,Graff Reinet, Kirkwood ,Despatch, Colchester,etc...But colored are mixture of European , Malay indian , Indian ,Chinese, some Japanese, and sone mix Jews, greek, Spanish, indonesian , british and Khoisan or bantu bloodb depends who your grandfathers or gradmother ancestral lines come from😂.
Now that apartheid is overt you want to revert back to khoi😂😂.puss%^s😂😂😂
In fact, afrikaans sprouted it roots long before colonisation as the Cape was part of the spice route to India. Ships would anchor and dialogue ensued. Over years a level of communication had already sprouted.
@lailahyt1572 you've discribed every human on the planet, no one race has the genetics of 1 source. Coloureds in the context of South Africa and the history of the apartheid categorical term describes mostly San, Khoi, and then Malay, etc in order of established land ownership and community development, in cultural and tribal context not European colonial context. Coloured is a kak generalistic, approximation term for "in the middle of black and white". Mixed race, mixed origin, mixed culture is specific, appropriate, considerate and more respectful of us with these origins and ancestors. The hard part is for those who do not know their ancestorial origins due to violence and misplacement of the past. There are winners and losers of every battle, and as long as theirs a race, there's a war - "coloureds" have strong and rich history, and those who stem from San, Khoi, and Malay have ancestors who've been fighting colonial and western appropriation long before those textbooks in the classroom elude to. Recognition and history must be taken not given.
Cape Coloureds and coloureds in other parts of SA are quite distinct groups....
Coloured here and proud to be😎
Dankie, ons is ook vir jou Suid-Afrika
Never knew Zola Budd is cloured. Something new here. Can someone explain ? . Roy b ,CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
Trevor Noah is not a colored. When did that happen. 😂
He's NOT coloured
Can you please tell me what this song's name is and who the artists are?
Colored for realThis is what black Americans were called in America in early 1800s. You did not have to be mixed to be called colored. It’s extremely amazing to see Africa adopt a derogatory name for a group of people Even the word black is derogatory but people seems to like these brandings instead of being called a human being extremely sick to me
Yes indeed, this is the limitation of language and history. I wish there were better terms for coloureds in SA and blacks in the USA but the culteral divide is too distinct... What else can we refer to an afrikaans speaking brown skin african with no tribal cultural connections and european/asian ancenstry as?
And in the US we can't really just refer to the dark skinned ancestors of slaves as simply african when they have a completly divergent culture...
So we are left with these ugly childish colorbox terms... That keep getting us in childish arguments
So true. They embrace it also because they were deemed better than the original blacks. Because they have white fathers or a drop of white in them. Sadly thats the lie that these settlers came here with to confuse all non whites and divide the people. So they dont want to be calked black mainly because of the apartheid teachings and the preveleges that came with being a "better" black. Its ridiculous but thats why they embrace it bwcause it was better than being a black
Yea. A lot of countries adopted our bs that we have here. Australia too
waaa - zola en trevor was nog nooit kallit nie
Beautiful People. Beautiful Women They Got.
Please Who Is The Artist? And The Track? I Love It Even Though I Don't Understand A Thing, I Just Love The Flow And Rhythm.

This song is sooo funny 😂😂every Coloured knows December "ek Gan nie by die huis slaap nie" Coloured people are so entertaining by default 😂🇿🇦
we are like the hispanic people in america.. we'd be considered dominican there rather than mixed or black.
Yes you are like the Hispanic, Franco, Luso etc. The more used term is Mulatto
Coloureds, are to be classified as different and separate to this fairly new classification as mixed race. White and Indian, is 'mixed race', Chinese and White, is mixed race ... ANY race, together an indigenous BLACK race in any country, would produce, COLORED.
And im white, but grew up in a mainly coloured town. Learned to speak afrikaans from coloured people. In pretoria white people told me i speak Capey , not afrikaans . Roy b, CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
ekse whats the name of that opening track? that track moer 🔥
Sarah is not Coloured she's mixed her mom is black her dad is white. To be Coloured both your parents must be Coloureds
Our national treasure, very friendly people but unfortunately drugs and lack of jobs have affected them negatively
Alot them could pass for my cousins and sisters and brothers
To put it into context coloureds would be like Dominican and us African blacks like Haitians, with all the trappings and discriminations it comes with.
Dominicans are of differents colors, whites, blacks and mixeds.
@@carlosmendezmedina1504Coloured people also
Neldon Mandela is not Coloured. Im xhosa and Nelson is Xhosa. We both from same area in tbe Transkei. We also both have khoisan in our dna.😊 A lot of the socalled Coloured are just black people who turned coat.
Nelson Mandela had a Griqua/coloured grandmother . The Griqua are predominantly KHOI mixed with Cape colony slaves from Malaysia and Africa , plus whites also intermixed , married and settled with the Griqua people . Therefore Mandela's Griqua grandmother was sufficiently mixed to make Mandela a coloured . I agree that many blacks played coloured during the apartheid days .
@@yardhe7290 that would mean that his family is not from the Transkei (Qunu). I don't believe that to be the case. What is Griqua. By that I mean how are the so-called griqua different than any other tribe in South Africa that is indigenous? If what separates them from blacks is admixture that isn't from Africa then they are just Coloured people. If they are truly Africans then his mixture is not different from that of my husband which is Xhosa and Sotho. In my case Mpondo and Mfengu.
@@mamadeebuildsahouse Mandela was definitely from the Transkei , I don't know what confused you . I've noticed many blacks are very confused about certain terms they use .
For example : African ;
An African is a person or people born on the continent of Africa ....
Be they white , coloured ,Indian or Bantu .
If they be BORN on the African continent , they are African .
Another word misused is INDIGENOUS : the original , first , earliest initial ,most ancient , are used to describe the indigenous people of a land .
In SA the true and only indigenous people are the Khoi and San . The United Nations affirmed and declared the Khoi and San the FIRST NATION of South Africa under the rights of indigenous people .
The Griqua are therefore African by birth on the African continent , second descendants of the Khoi and San , the first nation people .
Griqua along with the Khoi ancestors have all been officially classified as coloured by the whites and now also by the blacks .
The black Bantu Nguni people are all migrant invaders from central Africa . The Griqua Khoi / coloured are the rightful custodians of the land . Their birthright as the FIRST NATION people makes them preeminent against any false claims of another race or tribe .
@@yardhe7290 I stopped reading here: "Another word misused is INDIGENOUS : the original , first , earliest initial ,most ancient , are used to describe the indigenous people of a land .
In SA the true and only indigenous people are the Khoi and San . " this is made up to suit white people so that they can feel good about stripping indigenous people of their land. This narrative was developed by whites for benefits of whites.
@@mamadeebuildsahouse a tribe is not an admixture, but a social structure - the Griqua are not a tribe, but an admixture of native and various newcomer ethnicities. They could identify themselves with any tribe they feel the closest to. So having a Griqua grandmother is not a contradiction to coming from a certain region (like Transkei) or to identify with a certain tribe (like Xosa).
Proud to be coloured
What coloured sub group?
PROUDLEY CAPE COLOURED GIRL..YASS!!😎🤗😑😏
Trevor Noah is an honorary Coloured, but Zola Budd is out of place in that list. I don’t think Sho Madjozi considers herself Coloured, but like Trevor she is also half-Black half-White
Trevor Noah would have been coloured if we still in apartheid
But today coloured people have a culture that Trevor Noah is not part of
That's why there are many mixed race people in South Africa today that are not coloured but other cultures
Sho madjozi and trevor are the same thing, biracial. Both born to black women with white fathers. They both don't consider themselves colored
Sho Madjozi found herself in the company of coloureds when the pic was taken🤔🤭
Track is fire
Since when was Zola Budd coloured?
Eh! Since when?
They look Brazilian, Dominican republic and american Creole people
Yes
Outside of South Africa,I rememebrred meeting many colored people in Europe and living in Canda in particular in Ontario,Canada
Who is the women in the pic holding her neck
Its like the "Creoles" of Louisiana
Yes
Ive heard something like that from a couple on youtube,she said something about the way us coloured cook and creoles lol.
What's the name of the rapper?
Zola Budd is white Trevor Noah and Sho Majozi are black.There are many successful coloured people Benni McCarthy,Patricia de Lille,Alex La Guma,Jonathan butler,Chester Williams,Bryan Habana the list is endless.
Awesome video! Trevor Noah isn't from Cape Coloured descent though. Although he is mixed race, His father is northern Europe and his mother is Bantu. (I think she is Zulu)
Trevor's mother is Xhosa
Multigenerational mixed people. Both parents are descendants of mixed ancestors. Mixed people having mixed children for GENERATIONS. Similar to Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 Dominicans🇩🇴, Brazilians 🇧🇷, and other parts of Latin-America but with their own culture of course and different admixtures.
@MulattoHistoryChannel @mulattovanguard
but their ancestry ius mostly african
@@darrenmanuel509 wtf are you talking about? Colors are literally 50% European 50% African. Others are even more mixed
are u retarded .the european admixture in coloureds is only 26%, african americans have 24% idiot. Its at the same rate. Provide any logic in how u thinbk that european men in the cape colony had relations with native and slave women than native and slaves had amought themsleves and each other . The male population in the cape colony wass less than 20% european , and natives and slave men made up more than 80% Which explaiins why the paternal lineage y-chromosome observed in coloureds( passed down father to son) is 48% African(Khoisan/nguni/bantu/west african/mozambican/madagascan) and their maternal lineage was up to 70% african (mostly native khoi/xhosa women) Explaining why the avearge coloured is 68% african@@krazyjnva2up2down55
This is an extremely emotive subject in South Africa simply because of apartheid legacy!
Nevertheless, anyone with admixture outside of Africa isn't pure African in the same way that any admixture that isn't European means the person isn't pure European.
However, all Southern African nations: Zulu, Sotho (Pedi, Tswana & Sotho), Xhosa have Khoi and San admixture especially Sotho and Xhosa.
Xhosa, Sotho and Zulu have click words that are San & Khoi language. Coloured don't have click language or words in their language, but the Europeans did brutalize, enslave and dessimite Khoi to create the coloured bastards.
At any rate, Southern African are light in complexion not beause of Europeans, but because of San and Khoi. Our eyes look Khoi because of the Khoi admixture. Lesotho.🇱🇸
What confusion ! Africa and Europe are continents , NOT races .
For example , if a black person is born and resides in Europe they are technically European
even though they are racially black . The same with a white born in Africa , they are technically African , though racially white .
The black Bantu Nguni people are all migrants from central Africa . They are not indigenous to SA . The KHOI AND SAN are distinctly different , by culture , religion , history , ethnicity and language . They've been distinguished as BROWN people . They are the only indigenous people of South Africa . They are the FIRST NATION the rightful custodians of the land . SA is the land of the Khoi and San !
Millions of so called coloured people are descended from them , thus placing the COLOUREDS above both black and white .
You and your apartheid anthropology about central Africa Bantu! What nonsense! Europeans ancestory makes you European. It doesn't matter how long you've lived in America or Australia for. African ancestry makes you African even if you were to taken to Europe or America as a slave a thousands years ago, you remain African or European. Go and peddle your claptrap somewhere else! Lesotho.🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸
Blackman is "technically" European because he's born in Europe. Most probably because some European man said so therefore it must be the case! Absolute utter gibberish! Shameful nonsense! Lesotho.🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🤦♂️
@@yardhe7290 bastards are not even the descendants of Khoi or San. First nation, lol! Please peddle your apartheid anthropology somewhere else.
@@yardhe7290you are confused! Your ancestry is malaysian, indian, dutch, german all that. You are not places above Amy white, your forefathers and certainly not above black. We are black, both bantu and khoisan alike amd have far more similarities as one , Africans, two , blacks than you as a colored have with the khoisan people. Even if you had a drop of khoisan, it qould not make you any more khoisan as you are european. Not at all. You need to hear the truth and stop misleading yourself. A drop of black blood doesn't make you black as that works in america but the coloreds here dont apply the same rule. Neither does a drop of khoisan make you khoisan. You are as foreign as your ancestors
And you will notice too that the proper coloured people are fine and slim boned beautiful people. They are a unit all on their own. And most friendly sometimes gangsta people in our Country. 🎶🎶🎶
In America we call them Mulungenon
Yes, but isn't that only in Western Kentucky?
We do or we did?
There were (are?) two types of 'coloured' people. (Under apartheid) they were (are?) referred to as 'cape coloured' and 'other coloured'. I lived in S.A for six years during the apartheid era around jhb and my wife was 'other coloured'. We lived in a coloured community.
The coloured peoples, tribes, Nations, languages, cultures, religions, and families of South Africa are so diverse that they may differ from each other.😮😮😮
What's the name of the songs in this, video?
FYI. Zola Budd is not a Coloured.
do a DNA test on Zola and you may be surprised what is in there.
🤣😂Heaven forbid!! They have re-classified Zola Budd 🤣😂 The whites can have her back, thank you very much 😁@AfroArtista Films please ensure you do proper research
@@kimbozw1808you can do that on anyone, but that does not make them coloured and Zola deffinately not coloured. 😂
Song is: Grammadoelas - KRO-Barz
That's the problem when people interacially mix too much to the point that they have no culture, no language of their own and no great ancient African ancestors to seek guidance and spiritual help from. Its really sad being a so called 'coloured' 😞 😢
Eqch petson needs to decide which race to get back into. Personally, I would go back to my African roots. That's what my grand parents did and I am proud that they chose well 👏
There is no problem with mixed race people. The only problem is you thinking you can define who we are and what we have accomplished
but they have their own language, afrikaans
Coloureds have their own culture etc...culture doesn't only mean killing animals and wearing spandlas
Ok
South Africa would be incomplete without Coloureds, I don't care what anyone says.
Reminds me of Mexican or
Puerto Rican
the word Bantu is insult to south africa
why? Bantu is referring simply to a certain ethno-linguistic grouping. The Bantu people originally come from western-central Africa, but migrated into other parts of Africa, arriving (peaceful and as aggressive invaders) during the 18th and 19th century in southern Africa.
@@riccardodececco4404That is ahistoric revisionism.
In linguistics, the word Bantu, for the language families and its speakers, is an artificial term based on the reconstructed Proto-Bantu term for "people" or "humans". It was first introduced into modern academia (as Bâ-ntu) by Wilhelm Bleek in 1857 or 1858 and popularised in his Comparative Grammar of 1862.
As a proto-population it refers to an ancient agro-pastoralist population which blended with hunter-gatherers to form Southern African indigenous populations beginning millennia ago.
Certainly not in the 19th century.
@@agrid2608 it doesn´t matter were a term is coming from as long as it helps to differenciate ethno-linguistic differences. "Neanderthal" or "Cro-Magnon" could also be called "historic revisionism" since we do not know how those people called themselves. And then there are historical sources, and one is allowed to wonder what make these historical sources such a fuss about the wars (and genocide) the San suffered from the invaders. Surely, just another "revisionism"....
@@riccardodececco4404 Your statement was wrong, anachronistic & ahistoric and my reply pointed it out, so your response is irrelevant to what I said.
What the Dutch and British genocide of the San foragers had to do with it is even more irrelevant.
@@agrid2608 easy peasy - just accuse others of being "anachronistic" and "ahistoric" without any reference to facts and historical events - just my kind of humour....
In Zim there are many
South Africa have over 5 million coloured people that are multiracialy mixed and also a lot of biracial people that are not coloured
The way you started the video with “settlers” and “intermixed” that definitely waters down what actually happened. We should know by now invasion and colonialism isn’t a good thing.
What is important is the heart of a person, we all belong to God pink or red
