Good memories, I disagree, nothing before 94 was good. The apartheid government caused lots of suffering to the black communities. Is that what you call good old days?
I believe we can make South Africa and Africa as a whole a better and more developed continent with lower levels of poverty and stronger advancements. But in order for this to happen, we really need to sort out the issue of racism, self hatred and be willing to re educate ourselves and the future generation and the values we need to instill in our communities and society as a whole. To some this may seem like an impossible or daunting task. The truth is however, as a species we have not even begun to tap into our true potential. These are the values I will be teaching my children. Regardless of whatever backlash we may receive for pushing for positive change and rehabilitating our nations, we need to push forward with compassion and honesty and have the sense of direction that great people are made of. I am very excited about the future of our continent. Love you all, Patriots. God bless Africa 🤗🙌🙏
Well there is the problem of ethnic population general IQ levels. A group of people with an average IQ of 85 should not be in charge of a group with an average of 100.
@@erhenry20011 I believe this transcends beyond IQ alone. The system or standards that determine the integrity of governance is not sustainable if pride in ones country and ALL fellow people who live in it cannot be celebrated or appreciated. We are living in a world where division is promoted and rewarded whilst unity is strongly frowned upon. It took a pandemic to make people realize how much they depend on each other everyday. Society is based on quantum principles yet we were taught to believe it is each for themselves. For as long as we allow evil to thrive, truth will never see the day of light. The question now becomes, what is the truth and do we have the courage to be honest to ourselves enough to want to make a difference based on the truths we hold or will we accept our current reality as a norm?

Why is afrikanas being banned? I am not even from there but the level of racial disparity even after the end of apatthid seems pretty high. In Canada, both English and french are official languages and french is specifically very encouraged to be learnt. I find it hard to understand why people are fussing over a language existence!
@@nimbo9492 Afrikaans is not banned. It is one of our eleven official languages. English however enjoys to be the medium of instruction in almost all our tertiary institutions. Apart from the apartheid system of governance, the afrikaner community has led this country with distinction. It is regrettable that post 1994 most afrikaners took a backseat. The biggest curse of SA by the devil is that the world has never witnessed the best of SA working together in : governance, sport, Science and technology, disaster & hunger relief management, Christian fellowship, etc. Things are changing for the good though at a snail's pace.

@@brianmuvuti2102 Apartheid is still here. Just turned around now. Just moved to other people in revenge. Exactly the same. Only difference is that in the 80's load shedding did not exist. The Rand was nearly as strong as the dollar. People had morals back then and South Africa was a developed country. Potholes didn't exist and roads and infrastructure was properly maintained. People in charge was fully trained experts and not like today anyone taken from the streets. ANC was incompetent and broke a country that was working properly into the rubbish that it is now. Plus they applied revenge Apartheid by sacking people with proper qualifications with poorly educated people for the sake of "affirmative action". They should have started democracy without trying to revenge and keep the qualified people in their posts

(Similar thing happened to me) i got accepted into a white private school in which i did grade 8-11 (term 1) there.

APARTHEID is the reason the country is stuffed up (we are getting much better tho, but could have certainly been great).

We could have truly lived in harmony and shared each others cultures... but dont worry there is still hope ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STOP THE RACISM AND JUST TRY AND GET ALONG WITH US (TRY AND GET INVOLVED AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT YOUR PEOPLE DID AND BLAME IT ON US)
@@jesse_n good point Jesse, I like the optimism. In the end corruption and laziness need to be fought for this country to turn around.

Stability, safety and clear relax regulation breeds successful business. Maybe the low Rand value can be used to the advantage of the standard of living just like china did. Job programs like the post office need to end too, in Western countries same day door to door delivery is possible for cheap. This makes every business function better.

We elderly, I am born in the aerly 70s, remember SA as white, due to the system. As it has changed considerably that country has become less exotic. Same with 70s central Europe compared with today. Diversity sucks.
I was going to ignore your comment and pass it off as just another angry uneducated type but it was just too good to ignore. Your first point about "that" being an excuse shows how emotional you are. It is common knowledge that during apartheid, South Africa was under international economic sanctions therefore restrictions were put on their financial transactions including their currency trade. This meant that the Rand was worth absolute shit outside the South African borders, to the point that the apartheid government abolished the financial rand exchange rate system and basically set up their own rating system which they could determine themselves how much it is was worth. So when you see the rand/dollar exchange in the 80s, just know it's total bullshit. If the Rand/Dollar exchange rate was as good as you say it was, trust you me, the apartheid regime wouldn't have ended when it did. The fact that the SA economy was worth dog shit at the time, brought about pressure to the government to begin steps to end the damn thing. When you say "you and your type fucked it up" I don't know what you mean. I'm not in the financial business so I can't tell you how I'm responsible for anything. "My type" however well you have to be a bit most specific because when you look around at all developing countries particularly commodity countries you will see that their economies/currencies are not doing well at the moment (explanation for this will take forever but fill free to do your own research). "Feel free and pull the RACE card.. YOU will never be us. YOU will NEVER get to our standards and our levels." - Well I can't help you here as this is a journey of healing that you and only you must take. Best wishes

Even though our country descends further into madness, there was no moral justification for the Apartheid system - and anyone who argues otherwise, needs to examine that concept. However, what has transpired under the current leadership is absolutely shameful. Unfortunately, we were all fooled into thinking the ANC was the only legitimate liberating party, when in fact - there were others, but they did not suit the West. So here we are. Either way, I've not time in my life for black South Africans who would preach war, nor for those white South Africans who would have us believe this country was something of a paradise. It was....but for whom? Surely, with all we have learnt, with all we know from history, there has to be a better way than what we're facing now?

Is this really 1987? To the best of my research, this is the 8 o'clock news on 12 December 1986. Source from Video: The Australian Rebel team played against EP on 12,13,14 December 1986. They lost to SA on Wed. 10 December 1986. Only thing that throws me is the Long Weekend reference. However, I think it is the long weekend associated with 16 Dec and the start of Christmas holidays in SA. Sorry for being so pedantic, but I just love this historic stuff. So thanks for the video post and if you have more, please post them all. As a side note, I had about 2 weeks before I had to report to Valhalla for Nation Service in Jan 87. :) Cheers.
Hello yes it is, the rest of the news I had to edit out because of time. There is a part where PW Botha addresses the nation and wishing them happy holidays for December 1987 and also warning South Africans against the ANC and what they are planning to do. I will upload that as well. Keep well...
Remember South Africa has a huge manufacturing and export sector, most economists agree that the optimal Rand strength is about R8.00/$1.00. Anything else is either too strong for exports or too weak for imports.
I was born in 1987 😬 I had no idea what apartheid was... my parents never spoke about it. As a “coloured” person, didn’t know what racism was. Racism is something that your family instill within you and this needs to stop. Once that has been achieved the country will be able to move forward.

Well there is the problem of ethnic population general IQ levels. A group of people with an average IQ of 85 should not be in charge of a group with an average of 100.
@@erhenry20011 I believe this transcends beyond IQ alone. The system or standards that determine the integrity of governance is not sustainable if pride in ones country and ALL fellow people who live in it cannot be celebrated or appreciated. We are living in a world where division is promoted and rewarded whilst unity is strongly frowned upon.
It took a pandemic to make people realize how much they depend on each other everyday. Society is based on quantum principles yet we were taught to believe it is each for themselves. For as long as we allow evil to thrive, truth will never see the day of light. The question now becomes, what is the truth and do we have the courage to be honest to ourselves enough to want to make a difference based on the truths we hold or will we accept our current reality as a norm?
Thank you for your input and I hope that you are all well during these times 🙏

Why is afrikanas being banned? I am not even from there but the level of racial disparity even after the end of apatthid seems pretty high. In Canada, both English and french are official languages and french is specifically very encouraged to be learnt. I find it hard to understand why people are fussing over a language existence!
@@nimbo9492
Afrikaans is not banned. It is one of our eleven official languages. English however enjoys to be the medium of instruction in almost all our tertiary institutions. Apart from the apartheid system of governance, the afrikaner community has led this country with distinction. It is regrettable that post 1994 most afrikaners took a backseat. The biggest curse of SA by the devil is that the world has never witnessed the best of SA working together in : governance, sport, Science and technology, disaster & hunger relief management, Christian fellowship, etc.
Things are changing for the good though at a snail's pace. The church as the body of Jesus Christ will lead that unity between the two races & SA shall be a blessing unto the whole world. We request for all your prayer supports because at the moment we are our own enemies.

Only difference is that in the 80's load shedding did not exist. The Rand was nearly as strong as the dollar. People had morals back then and South Africa was a developed country.
Potholes didn't exist and roads and infrastructure was properly maintained. People in charge was fully trained experts and not like today anyone taken from the streets. ANC was incompetent and broke a country that was working properly into the rubbish that it is now. Plus they applied revenge Apartheid by sacking people with proper qualifications with poorly educated people for the sake of "affirmative action".

Hmm interesting to know where the Rand/Dollar exchange was than compare to the huge difference we have today
Ever heard of currency manipulation?
I was going to ignore your comment and pass it off as just another angry uneducated type but it was just too good to ignore. Your first point about "that" being an excuse shows how emotional you are. It is common knowledge that during apartheid, South Africa was under international economic sanctions therefore restrictions were put on their financial transactions including their currency trade. This meant that the Rand was worth absolute shit outside the South African borders, to the point that the apartheid government abolished the financial rand exchange rate system and basically set up their own rating system which they could determine themselves how much it is was worth. So when you see the rand/dollar exchange in the 80s, just know it's total bullshit.
If the Rand/Dollar exchange rate was as good as you say it was, trust you me, the apartheid regime wouldn't have ended when it did. The fact that the SA economy was worth dog shit at the time, brought about pressure to the government to begin steps to end the damn thing.
When you say "you and your type fucked it up" I don't know what you mean. I'm not in the financial business so I can't tell you how I'm responsible for anything. "My type" however well you have to be a bit most specific because when you look around at all developing countries particularly commodity countries you will see that their economies/currencies are not doing well at the moment (explanation for this will take forever but fill free to do your own research).
"Feel free and pull the RACE card.. YOU will never be us. YOU will NEVER get to our standards and our levels." - Well I can't help you here as this is a journey of healing that you and only you must take. Best wishes

Even though our country descends further into madness, there was no moral justification for the Apartheid system - and anyone who argues otherwise, needs to examine that concept.
