Ricky its true, you havnt even scratched the surface. Think about it. You currently live in the smallest province (state) in the country with all of Joburg and all over Pretoria and surrounding areas. That is the smallest province. Provinces like the Western Cape, Northern Cape, KZN and Eastern Cape are bigger than countries. The Eastern Cape alone is as big as England the country which is actually ridiculous if you think about it. There are hundreds of towns and many more cities to explore. The good thing about SA is the road network infrastructure is connected throughout and boasts the 8th largest road network in the world so you can drive anywere on a perfect national road(Thanks SANRAL).
"Madiba" is a term of endearment and respect used to refer to Nelson Mandela, particularly among the Xhosa people of South Africa. It comes from his clan name, which is "Madiba." In South African culture, it's common to use someone's clan name as a sign of respect and affection. So, when people refer to Nelson Mandela as "Madiba," they are acknowledging his Xhosa heritage and showing reverence for him.
Another awesome video, thank you to you both for sharing the beauty, the vibe, the people, the culture, and of course our great food of the Motherland, our home and yours too.
The movement of our BA brothers and sisters to South Africa is really so so so emotional. You spiritually feel something when they talk about moving down to Azania. Welcome home...
Hello Ricky great interview. Looking very professional I like how you set that up. Looking like ABC news . I think you have a calling for reporting the news. Journalism! Great job!
I spend 10 months i Cambodia honestly when i got back to SA my mother said i was so skinny. I am back home for 1yr and i am looking so much brighter and healthier. We blessed
Evening my dear,I love this Xhosa lady. I am Xhose too. I would love to take you yo Eastern Cape, where Nelson Mandela was born,a beautiful part of the country!
I really appreciate it your interview. You gave so many descriptive details of South Africa. Where to stay which you did thank you. Makes me wanna go and see what you saw.
I also feel the Americans from the south are just more friendly and intergrate easier. And u guys know good food. Southern Charm and hospitality is an actual thing
Madiba is Tata Mandela's clan name not nickname. Culturally as a sign of respect and endearment instead of calling someone by their name we use their clan name.
The resemblance to Xhosa tribe is strikingly evident. Mandela gene definitely. I mean you can put a Zinzi Mandela next to her and definitely would pass as sisters. Very interesting. 🎉 She sounds very happy and content ❤🎉
Food is a bit extreme in the States, it ranges from incredibly sweet to incredibly salty. America does have a lot of amazing and delicious food, but it’s incredibly expensive. There’s a premium to pay if you want high quality food over there.
This is actually one of the most underrated questions you will ever get. Brilliant question. Answer: Nelson Mandela is a descendant of the Thembu Tribe (The polygamists), an intermediary Tribe with both Zulu and Xhosa lineage and linkages. The cultural identity and practices of the Thembu are appropriated from both Xhosa and Zulu cultures yet their history which is often described in their clan names shows strong historical ties with the Zulu tribe. The Xhosa and by extension the Thembu people have strong historical ties largely as a result of intermarriages with the Khoi and San people. (Abathwa) in Xhosa. Some of the features of that interaction find expression in language, physical( phenotypic ) features and cultural practices. Nelson Mandela for example exhibited eye features that strongly resemble those of Khoisan descent and to show what a strong feature it is, those small eye features are also found in his kids, grand kids and great grand kids. So the short answer to your question is that it's highly likely that there is some Khoisan blood in his veins because Nguni men found Khoi and San women extremely beautiful with their small eyes, small waist and enlarged buttocks. The Khoi and San also had light complexions compared to the Nguni tribes and all those features were exported to the Nguni tribes over generations. These features are now common for most South African women irrespective of tribe but especially coloured, Xhosa, Thembu, Zulu and Sotho women.
@@luthovellem865Wow! Thanks for the short lesson in Thembu ancestral history. I am Zulu, and I didn't know about the relationship between the Zulus and the Thembus. The Xhosa speaking group is very interesting, it has many distinct groups, some of which moved from the current day KZN during the Shaka era.
Nelson Mandela once took a DNA test himself, this was televised. most ethnic groups in South Africa has the same Khoisan DNA. This is proof that one is connected to the land. First nation peoples. I did my DNA too, I also have Khoisan DNA
For a moment l saw Zinzi Mandela in her.
OMG Miss Beverly looks like Mama Winnie Mandela !! The DNA has not lie

True. And it was Tswana people in those regions.
Madiba is Tata Mandela's clan name not nickname. Culturally as a sign of respect and endearment instead of calling someone by their name we use their clan name.
Trevor Noah is also xhosa
If you got a dollar for each time you said Yes Mam, you’d be a rich man 😂😂
This is a Xhosa sister right here.
You can see it huh
The resemblance to Xhosa tribe is strikingly evident. Mandela gene definitely. I mean you can put a Zinzi Mandela next to her and definitely would pass as sisters. Very interesting. 🎉 She sounds very happy and content ❤🎉

How is the weather in November
Beautiful going into the summer months
You should also go to The Craddle Of Human Kind when you come back.
Beverley you remind me of Madiba's wife Winnie Madikizila Mandela, you look like her. That means you have Xhosa ancestory.
Thank you, what an compliment and honor 😊
@@beverlydoecke7190 google Winnie Mandela young pictures, you will definitely see your reflection in her

She is Xhosa like Trevor Noah
Another great
Marking the register
❤
Please forgive my ignorance, but does being a descendant of Khoisan peoples mean that you're related to Nelson Mandela ?
She just means she has Xhosa DNA in her.
