As a black South African I’m really proud of her answers period
Sameeeee
Yep I'm not mad at all.
Low-key represented our country better than I could.
Sho boi
No cap point on
She handled this well. She's not ignorant of the social issues and really did extremely well. Well done, she truly South African.
Still tired of white people constantly presenting all South Africans... Black people do travel too. But yes she's doing well.
I give her credit for her broad answers and knowledge base on the country and its social issues.
Not completely
@@matshadi1999 Then they should get in contact with the channel, instead of eating all the food.
Exactly bro!
We need a similar panel here in South Africa made up of the different cultures...to enlighten us all about our diversity. It will unite us, I think.
I Definitely agree with you.
100%
Unfortunately in order to unit a country, you need people willing to forget the past, and not use it as an excuse to push blam on others to cast the light off of you, secondly people need to recognize that south africa was not the land of the blacks but the kois and other tribes that were wiped out by zulus and last but not least stop punishment of companies being forced to give half your company away under the terms of bbe and trying to take land away from farmers the just maybe you can unit a country but that will never happen oh and maybe stop saying that we don't have sufficient people of color blacks in our rugby teams and cricket teams, don't see alot of of other races being excepted in the soccer teams.
I agree with you 100%
That would be nice
I respect her so much for saying she can’t talk for all South Africans, we all come from such different backgrounds🔥🌈
80% of south Africans are black. It really isn't that diverse

That's so true🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, with all the negativity on most social media platforms this video and its comments are so refreshingly positive. No trolls trying to divide our people but rather respect for each other and their differences. Gives me hope and just such a lekker feeling. Love you SA!!
Real talk 💯
I loved it!
she really represented us well
Love it💞💞💞
Gurrrllll... You represented us so well. Well done ❤️🇿🇦
When she said coloured was an ethnic group unique to SA
I felt that❤️
Ja Nee
Shout out to all South Africans🔥🌈
I get where she is coming from and I agree!
Salute to all my kallits out there!
@@jazoriquewilliams6555 Awe ma se kind
JAJAJAJA, This is not unique to South Africa, many of these people that you call coloured, exist in Latin America, and we call them mulatos, which are people of European and African descent.
These people are found mainly in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the Caribbean Islands.
@@drpepper4818 no. Majority of coloureds are specifically decendant of Khoisan people. Mixed race is not the same as coloured.
As a fellow South African, I really appreciate how well she described and represented our beautiful country😊❤🇿🇦🇿🇦
So far i watched She really Does Explains very well
I live in south Africa but I hate it here
Addiction101 then leave, peace out ✌️
@@ricksonmboweni2309 so right
She did an amazing job
As a South African, I must say, SHE KILLED IT!!! So informative, so in-the-know. Brilliant work, Chantelle!!!!
So the reason why our internet feels slow and expensive to the rest of the world is because we are so far away from all of the international servers. So our data needs to travel far distances using undersea cables to reach the hosting server and then travel back. This is improving however as more international companies are placing servers in South Africa to replicate data with international servers.
Ooh
Thanks so much.
Now I know
Thanks Mf2 👊🏽
Thank you ✨

Thank you so much

"Where is South Africa?"
I get that all the time.
"You go to Africa. Then you go south."
That's a good one😂😂
😂 😂 😂 😂
I like you.
I always explain it like that in University 😂
A lot of Americans ask me: "So what's it like in Africa?" and not "South Africa". They don't know the difference. Also, it's like they expect the animals to run free on the roads.THEY DON'T LMAO
Honestly im just happy that they like took the time to ask these questions. As a Black South African it just means a lot. And personally my fave South African food is probably melk tert or s,khambane(kota)
You call it iskhambane😍 you from the Vaal?
kota chomme yooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! SBWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why did I was this comment, now u just made me want a skhambane eish...it's yum
She is awesome. As a South African I'm proud of her.
Thank you 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The phrase "Yes no" / "Ja nee" is the most South African thing ever and I caught it as soon as she said it 😂❤️🇿🇦
Or as I say it "Ja no" 😂😂
Awe
"Ja nee" that's true
Its "Ja, I know"/"Yes, I know" and the "I" is contracted to make it "Ja 'know".

Chantelle did a great job...you could tell she is very proud of her country and she felt it was very important to respect the dignity of the many cultures that are part of South Africa...well done...thanks for this enlightening video...I am happy for the progress that South Africa is making every day...Gesondheid!!!
I’m here for when Chantelle said: “we were a British Colony for a few years”
And British Sam be there like: 😬😬😬
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m proud of you Chantelle you did a good job in answering the questions about our lovely Nation 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 🌈 ❤️❤️❤️
You can tell she is South African by how she uses her hands to explain 😂😂😂 that is so unique
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mara why le so
Dude💪🏽💪🏽😂😂🇿🇦
She is actually an Afrikaner, which means that Afrikaans is her first language. You can tell by her accent.
Not really. Italians use their hands like crazy.
Irish people use their hands a lot too.
_"Is it because there is always rainbow in South Africa?"_
I can't stop laughing, that's so precious😂
That would be awesome 😂 😂
It's such a big country I wouldn't be surprised if was because there's a rainbow somewhere in South Africa each day.
I do remember some wonderful rainbows after the crazy thunderstorms and the fresh smell of ozone.
i love how well she answered the questions. It's good to see a fellow south african represent us so well 🇿🇦🇿🇦
This was so lovely to watch as a fellow South African. Great representation 🎉 I also learned a thing or two. You rock!
Young lady, I am a Cape Coloured and I must say, you speak with eloquence, knowledge and full respect towards all cultures of our birthplace!
YO POES!
@@deruckuscousins7239 hahahaha true capetonian
Truthfully, I concur.
Same
@@deruckuscousins7239 My broe- Naai man... Calm down with the language!
The love of my life was from South Africa. He used to fuss at my little dog in Afrikaans when he barked too much and I loved hearing it lol. It's been 13 years since he died and I still miss him all the more when I hear that accent :/
I am so sorry to hear of your loss
@Lidor Dimov ❤
The accent makes it better 🤣
But on a serious note, I hope he may rest in peace and find someone you again later in life.
Sorry to hear that ... im sure he was a great guy ... I used to have a fog named vleis(meat) ... I everyone loved when i used to shout ... "Veeeer-leeeis .... Kom heir so !!!!" .... I miss vleis
Sorry for your loss .
Chantelle, you did a great job. My wonderful husband was an english speaking south african . I lived there for 6 years, in Durban and had our 2 sons there. My husband loved his land and all its people and and I loved the south afican in him. Miss him and South Africa very much, so of the kindest most helpful people I met were south african and especially black south africans.
Chantelle explained everything so perfectly 🔥🔥 no bias! Straight up facts!!
And I just love how she said that coloured is so ethnic because she knows that only South Africa had coloured as a race!!!! I love her😍😫❤
I was very happy when she said that too.
It's such a weird thing to try to explain to non-South Africans in any sensitive kind of way, especially as a white person. I just normally say mixed race - but for many many generations, forming a distinct cultural identity. But even that doesn't feel adequate, because it kind of erases the San/ Khoi, not to mention the Cape Malay influence (especially on the food)! Afrikaans is after all mos "Kitchen Dutch". ❤🇿🇦
Such a crazy unique place. This video made me seriously homesick!
I love how respectful Chantelle is🖤🇿🇦
Gal still representing 🥰🌸
She was raised well
It's so weird watching this because I am from southafrica and hearing that this from the wonderful woman just makes me proud to be a southafrican thanks sooo much for telling people that southafrica has and means more than what it is
I enjoyed Chantel's answers; every single one of them! I am a black South African and you showed how truly South African we can be despite our different races. ❤
Thank you to the Australian who said about the crime "so basically like every other country"...finally people realise that crime is not a "South African" thing
@A A What are you talking about. You can safely walk alone in Melbourne at night
Yeah it actually is an African thing
@A A Do you mean Melbourne Florida? Because Melbourne Australia is most definitely safe to walk alone at night.
Yes it's not a South African thing, but it's EXTREME in RSA the level of brutality is insane. And sadly we have gotten so used to crime that we rather blame the victim nowadays. Why was she there, why was she wearing that etc. It hit me even more when a girl whom I have met before made headlines in RSA when she was murdered and raped. That made me realize even more that it can happen to anyone.
Yes there's crime everywhere, but I never realized what "freedom" really was until I got a scholarship to study in Europe. I used to walk at 3am alone to go catch a bus to catch a flight. Travelled around all by myself without being able to speak the languages. I did so many things that wouldn't be safe for me to do back home. I've seen kids as young as 8 taking the bus/cycling/walking to school by themselves etc. That's what is normal not the way we live in fear at home. We are simply used to it, but it's not one bit normal. Not being able to stop at a traffic light at night is not normal same goes for needing violent dogs and high burglar bars. I don't understand why rape and such brutal murders are so common in RSA. My personal opinion is that the one place one should feel safe and secure, should be one's home country.
I love RSA, but we really need to do better.
The problem with South Africa's crime is the level of associated violence with the crime. High numbers of murder, rape and gun crimes in SA makes it considered extra dangerous.
Thank you so much Chantelle for representing us so well. You were sensitive to us as a nation and did not exclude anyone intentionally. I like your perspective, quite refreshing to see
Omg I'm so happy that SA stood out finally it's so nice to have Chantelle explain our country yay I was actually also answering the questions that came on the screen I feel special after this video so yeah also some slang unique words in SA are braai, is it a bad nie, shame, lekker etc. So shout out to all South Africans🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦😍and also south Africans are very kind
Omg she even mentioned Venda. I am a new subscriber. 정말 감동이에요 🥺🥰💯
I just love how you spoke, very honest yet respectfully. You represented all South Africans with Grace, the respect you have for all cultures is honestly astonishing. I can't wait for more content . Will also check your past videos. 화이팅해요~~^^
She said "Underprivileged", I like her so much for being honest.
She is so full of knowledge. She answered every question with such eloquence
Ailín Ó S she really answered very well
"Why is south africa dangerous?" Our l o v e l y government.
I love her. She answers the questions very accurately.
Fun fact:
An average south african speaks 4 languages and understands 8
I only know 2! Haha
Then u get my stupid ass who can only speak Afrikaans and English 😂
I know 15😎

That would mean one language.......there's 11 different languages as explained. LISTEN
This is a well made video. I like how she answered the questions with her impressive knowledge and understanding of our country. Her explanations are both clear and simple to understand for a non- South African. Goeie werk! - Great work! Hope as she suggests another video is done on our diverse foods and cuisines
OMG! I really loved this 😊❤️

I've never seen such an accurate description of South Africa before. 🌈
Facts !!!
Well done. We honestly are blessed to live in a beautiful diverse country. Great weather, great food, great people. Regards from Port Elizabeth.
She forgot to mention how the music in SA is.
But you really did your best to answer and you really tried to like explain how beautiful South Africans unity is. We APPRECIATE that.❤💝🙏
I'm glad she started off saying she isn't representing all South Africans, it's so annoying watching videos like these and people think that one South African embodies all South African cultures & people
I think some countries are homogeneous, so a Dutch or a German person can typically speak for a lot of people. South Africa is one of those countries where its hard to speak for everyone.
I fully agree with you. Her disclaimer is sound
Same for the US. I almost don't want to watch the video after they generalize all of the country
She’s eloquent, aware of her privilege and seems like a kind person. Well done. You represented South Africa well ❤️
tsek with your privilege rubbish, get over it and move on
@@pauljansen6650 youre weird..youre a weord guy

I enjoyed this video! Seemed quite genuine
I loved this so much, it’s amazing to see our culture and lifestyles explained in such a supportive and enthusiasm to learning
Chantelle had me from the moment the moment she said she can't speak for everyone, Same-time-camera I liked , subscribed and klaar hit the bell...

True
"Why do South African accents sound British"
English Sam: *sweats*
Lol we have many many accents! It depends mostly on the first language but most of us sound a little British and we are taught British English in school.
LOL yesssssss he was visibly uncomfortable by the question. Shame😂
We were colonised by the british yo
I’m South Africa and I get this all the time from my international friends
I think we sound more Australian than anything
Good answers Chantelle.
I discovered this channel today and really like it.
You guys are very kind, considerate and good natured.
"Kom gerus en besoek ons land, julle sal dit geniet"
This was very wholesome thank you
I really thought there were going to be questions like "Do wild animals roam the streets in South Africa" 😂😂
I was also waiting for that question. Or " why are south africans always barefoot " 😂
Just in case you're wondering, yes they do😂
And I'm so glad they didn't! Those questions are too ignorant and boring now.
Same here🤣🤣
lol 😆 I actually like those questions because i get to play along
I'm South African, born and raised but i actually learnt a few things from this video. in particular that ZAR and Rand.
ZAR: Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek was the original Dutch name.
Even me...
Same ! 😂👌🏻
😂 you all don't deserve SA
No ways
I'm loving this channel 👌
You definitely represented us South Africans and explained everything so well🇿🇦🔥🔥👏🏾
There is no line more South African than, "Yes, no..." 😂
That could actually be German as well. "Ja nee is' klar" ("yes no it's clear") is something you'll hear quite often here. So I guess that similarity as to do with German and Afrikaans both being germanic languages. They are really close. Actually they are so close that I, as a German, can understand a little written Dutch and a little written Afrikaans.
Folke Hoffmann thats so cool. A direct translation of that into Afrikaans is Yes, No its finished with "is" being translated into "dis" and "klar" being translated into "klaar". I love how our languages connect us in such awesome ways!
@@roy_blake We kinda use it to end a discussion in German. By saying "Ja nee is' klar" we mean something like "end of discussion, you are definetely wrong and you know it yourself!". Like my poor friend tries to tell me that she has a lot of money and I'll be like "Ja nee is' klar. That's why I just had to help you out with money."
@@gideonroos1188 😉 yeah that makes sense too. Actually in that case we could also say "Das seh ich." (meaning "I see that") in German.
We also say this a lot in the Midwest in the USA, and often we say "yeah no." 😄
From a Coloured South African , you guys have to try Koeksisters one of South Africa's best desserts.
, and afval or bobotie for the main course.

They a bit too sweet for me but you talking straight facts💯😂🇿🇦
And koesisters
Jys a koeksister😂😂😂😂
As a Saffa, she did an awesome job representing all of us - it’s a really big country (the Kruger Park is the size of Wales), with a very diverse populace, so it’s hard to generalise - she did great 😊🥰 I am in Durban on the east coast (KwaZulu Natal), and it takes 10-12 hours to drive to the Kruger Park for me, and 24 hours of straight driving to get to Cape Town (could be longer, depends on the route)…It really is the most beautiful country 🌺
I’m from South Africa😍, great to see this content !
South African living in Switzerland and this made me miss home so much.

4. Milk tart
5. Koeksisters, and also Koesusters (two different things, both super yummy!)
6. Bunny chow
7. Gatsby
8. Kota
9. Durban curry, and Cape Malay curry
10. Heck, just look up Cape Malay cuisine!
11. Bobotie
12. Malva pudding
13. Chakalaka
14. Potjiekos
15. Vetkoek with mince OR with polony and cheese
16. Umngqosho (samp and beans)
17. Amasi (not buttermilk, but just as good)
18. Amadumbe (Like potatoes, but entirely different texture and flavour)
19. Ujege (steamed bread)
20. Maroela fruit (famously the base for Amarula liqueur. Just as delicious fresh as fermented.)
Also the practice of chisa nyama/braai - the South African barbecue.

She also pronounced languages pretty well (except for Xhosa).
As a coloured I'm really proud of the way she explained how unique we are 😍💗
Coloured?.. what does that mean ?.
@@juliansearcie1758 multiracial.
Black - white - asian
Black - Asian
Asian - white
Black - white
That's their mix
But there's nothing really unique about the country. I'd say the region, yes. Not South Africa specifically.
Glad you piped up. Mentioning coloured in the UK or US is seen a offensive. I nearly lost my job in the UK referring to me coloured friend in stead of mixed race.
Coloured is offensive in the States.
Shout out Chantelle, this was non-bias, well researched, informative and just a breathe of fresh air you know. You represented South Africans not just the white south africans.
❤️
You represented us so well babe. Well done 👏
