A bit more complete transcript of Michael's speech in Sun City (thanks to @deserveMjj at Facebook):
Michael Jackson: "We are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society. The children of the universe are without a spokesperson, they are voiceless. We are all touched by the atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child slave labor, educational neglect. We feel ashamed, Angry, Appalled. But there is no action No action.", Michael declares. At the press conference also, he gives an emotional discourse to the people of South Africa: “First, I would like to say, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how happy and honored I am to be here in South Africa. The people here have been so kind to me their love, their generosity, the hospitality has been overwhelming. I mean, I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart, ‘cause I really mean it. And I’m not wearing these glasses to be Mr. Cool, I wear these glasses because they are a facade, so you won’t have to see my tears ... [voice choking with emotions] ... I’m so happy to be here and you all have been so wonderful to me and I want to thank you so much and I thank you for coming to Sun City. I would like to take this opportunity to thank president Nelson Mandela and the wonderful people of South Africa for this gracious, really gracious welcome to your wonderful country. I just love it. I love it so much, I’m looking for a house to buy here [laughs]… I would like to thank the wonderful wonderful (inaudible) and the staff and its hospitality and hosting this conference. And I’m sorry I was not able to play South Africa dates previously, because I was so much looking forward to coming here. But now I am really excited about bringing the HIStory Tour - a brand new show, the HIStory Tour to South Africa. We are in negotiations right now, with promoters now and, but we’re playing South Africa in mid January 1997, in Capetown, in Durban and Johannesburg.

i love you😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😅😅😅😅😅😅🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍🥰🤗🤗🤗🤫🤫🤫🤫
Did he play then there
I mean his history tour happened there?
I am sure people would have been more then happy.
@@SaimaSalim-p7q Yes, he did 5 concerts in South Afrika in October 1997 (2x Cape Town, 2x Johannesburg, 1x Durban).
@@Visionary
I hope tickets were low
As mostly Africans were poor and they would have loved to see MJ performance
@@SaimaSalim-p7q I don't know about ticket prices there, but according to Wikipedia the 5 concerts were sold out (apart from one - almost sold out). So I guess they made it work. In general it was the concert agency (that "employed" Michael) who would set ticket prices depending on the country and the economic situation there.
No artist in the history of humanity had, has, and never will have the popularity that MJ had in the entire world
Never. People say "Taylor Swift". BS. You could go to a remote village in Africa that doesn't speak English, say "Michael Jackson", and the tribal people will start moonwalking (or try to).
@@Styxswimmer Justin Bieber
He no do pass KING SOLOMON
Africa loves mj💖💖💖
All blacc people should love Big Mike
@@ceemuhammad3707 period!
@@Dimmyboos do you have Instagram? You're beautiful 😍
I wish he would've moved to Africa around this time he would've been safe and still alive 🤦♂️ rest well king 🐏💫❤🙏
@Patrick Hollis; you are mathematically right
I agree on every level!
I believe he was planning to move there. It was home. I wish he had been there too. I think he would have been safe. ❤️
The white man would have came after MJ in Africa, like they did in america, because they wanted that music catalog, and finally got it. Just like they got a black person to kill him for it, in america, they could have easily gotten another black person to do the same, in Africa.
@@benx104 it's sad bro i hear you bro it's just fucked up and all these other people talking about how much he ment to them yeah right where were they when he needed them most all he had in life was his 2 bodyguards the nanny his mother kids and also his fans so now that he is gone I still say fuck the tabloids the media and the industry he showed those bastards what a real king is when it comes to this shitty ass business but this world wasn't ready for Michael and it didn't deserve him
That hug at the end is just precious
I wish he moved to Africa, he would have probably been alive, i miss this pure angel Soo much, he indeed did change the world, well God called him to heaven so we can't question God rip MJ😭😭♥️
What a beautiful soul world have lost, can't believe it 2023 watching this as if it happened yesterday continue Rest in peace Michael Jackson.
Anche per me. 16 08 2024
MJ is such a God gift. A wonderful gift from God to humanity. We love and miss you MJ
He was awesomely handsome, and such a great pop superstar!! I don't know how it felt as he was always mobbed by too many hysterical fans!
Love the way MJ hug nelson Mandela so tight
Beautiful human being! It seems other countries could see the beautiful gift of this man, but in the US the evil media, and greedy evil people took advantage of this beautiful soul!
miss you always the king forever MJ we love you
Michael didnot wear any mask there..he was respectful.You can see that he was really happy to be there
Thank you , Great video and great tribute to Nelson Mandela and to Michael Jackson. Visibly emotional Michael Jackson, he really felt as welcome home in R,S,A. people there were so kind and surely if he could, he would have had a much better and respectful life in South Africa then in US.
two great ones for humanity and for music
That hug he gave Mandela at the end.... I am melting...so adorable 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Me coming across this video in2022
Me too
@@nataliapeiris4379 Me too. Now I know why he said he was thinking of purchasing a home there. One must look up the skin disease, vitiligo, to understand just a portion of the pain Michael was in. He did not “choose” to be white. As he stated he was a “proud, black African American.”
Прекрасный человек с чистой душой, любящим сердцем!
Micael jackson ❤💋🙏
I love Michael's hugs ❤❤❤❤
LOVELY MAN! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
There was even Turkish tv reports TRT INT one. Angel Michael!

Hi .I know he also made another speech in sun city but I have only heard part of it .someone has a link for the whole speech ? Thank you . This is the speech I'm talking about :" we are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society. the children of the universe are without a spokesperson, they are voiceless...we are all touched by the atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child slave labor, educational neglect. we feel ashamed. angry. appalled. but there is no action...no"

Que Abraço dois ícones ah o Michael meio Timido porem o Mandela o puxou para o abraço 🤗
마이클잭슨은 언제나 진실했고 언제나 아이들의 아픔에 자신도 마음 아파했는데 어찌 이런 착한 사람을 한없이 괴롭혔을까
마이클 미안해요
우린 당신을 믿으니 그곳에선 평화롭게 아이들과 뛰어놀아요 ❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome 😊
South Africa is not, naturally MJ's home, but America is naturally his home, where he was born and raised, with his ancestors building all of america, not South Africa.
Michael is an African
We miss mandela now in this world
❤️
He seem to really Love Mandela
lol keep in mind this was not barely 6 years since apartheid officially ended, but as you can see, every skin color was genuinely excited to see MJ. As a south african I find that it so intruiging and funny and epic all the same time, I mean if you say it slowly you might get it, "A black man, who turned into a white man and is an otherwise extremely talented performer, goes to an extremely race divided country and everyone is just excited".
Who is here 2024
❤❤💝💗💖💜👍👍
Божий человек !
on this year i was only 3 months old😅
Michael has never denied his African identity as stated in this video at 6:40. 😒
