#Zimbabwe #Zimbabwean
I’m married to a Zimbabwean in the uk. She calls all women “sister, Aunty or mum.” I spend my life in confusion. Also the phrase ah is different to ahh and that’s different to ahhh. I haven’t even started.
I had no idea my interview could bring so much homesickness and happiness =). You all are incredibly kind and I'm glad you share my love for such a wonderful place and people!
You're a legend. We hope to see you again.
Never met you but I love you for being honest. Especially how u described the food. 😂😂U really tried the right dishes 🍲
🥰 qumu qethu ugecuqethu. I'm Thomas from zimbabwe I'm Ndebele I love to teach others to know how to speak Ndebele language
Thank u for this interview!
Im glad to be watching your channel and im glad you ate ishwa madora and matemba 🤣😂😂im happy 💃💃
Am not Zimbabwean, but from the way he is describing the food, haaa mdara makanakirwa
Hi I'm from Ghana, but I've always loved Zimbabwe. I've never been there, but somehow, my heart is already there. I hope to move there one day and start a business there and hopefully marry and start a family there. I know, their former first lady was Ghanaian and there's also a street there, named after our first president, Nkrumah. I also follow a few of their news channels on other social media platforms. I'm trying to make as many friends there as possible, before I finally move there. A lot of people try to discourage me by telling me negative stuff, but I never give up. This guy's video has really uplifted me and given me hope.
awesome we are waiting.
I am from Belgium and live in Zimbabwe all I can say is sando dzenyu ma zimbo makapenga :)
Never seen someone so accurately describe living in Zimbabwe
Zimbabweans are my cousins, love from Malawi
Its so sad the love Zimbabweans give is not what we receive when we are in other countries, even in African countries.. I liked the accuracy, phenomenal and exact life of Zimbabweans,thanks for sharing this with the whole world
I just subscribed hahaha who doesn't want to hear this truth about us Zimbabweans.
Zimbabweans hit like if u agree.
Iwe ka why didn't you share this content
I like how accurate you were with your explanations👌
Zimbabwean approval is what you get from me😊
Walking down the road as a white guy in chitungwiza was probably one of the funniest experiences I ever had,people there are so open and friendly, they don't have much but yet they have a smile on there face. Hopefully I can return anytime soon
As a South African I can definitely agree that Zimbabweans are lovely people, so incredibly friendly
I like how he said the classic dish is sadza , chicken and vegetables. Chicken is normally served to honoured guests. You were loved ❤
Ummmmm this guy took time to understand Zimbabweans, l personally appreciate you true description of a real Zimbabwean, that is us for real👏👏
Africa is not a jungle, respect to this man
I've found Zimbabweans to be a lot more polite and respectful than many of the South African locals, also many times they are willing to do more and work harder.
If every person was like this, we would be having a more peaceful earth.
God bless you.
Wow! What a heart warming description of Zimbabwe and its people.Im half Zimbabwean and South African,when i went there for the first time i was actual left with no words,people there love each other like you cant believe.So welcoming and my best was when i went to the shops and i had only one item being used to SA i had to join the queue i ladies said go and pay you cant wait for this long queue with just one item.I was blown away to see such ubuntu.It breaks my heart to see how most of us South Africans treat them but once you step to their country you are are treated with love and respect.Zimbabweans are just one great humans i have ever met.I pray it shall be well in their country so that someday the whole continent should learn a thing or two about the spirit of ubuntu from Zimbabweans.I just love you guys💕
I've never looked my country from someone's else's eyes. It made me cry. Being away from home sucks.
I love how you talked about our food. And the accuracy of your observations is really beautiful.
Thank you. 💕
Absolutely love this video, making me miss home so much, my heart will always belong in Zimbabwe. I love my Zimbabwe and its people. His description is so detailed, feel like he included everything about living in Zimbabwe and being a Zimbabwean.
You're not Zimbabwean if you haven't had a Bucket bath ✨✨it's actually not bad at all
I thought I wasn't going to watch till the end but here I am.
Im trying to figure out if the 21 dislikes are from normal human beings??? Like really!
This was a nice description, thank you!
Am a Kenyan and I love Zimbabweans after hearing their goodness. Great news from our African brothers and sisters
If he is not a Zim guy masquerading as an American , then he really came in with an open mind, something all people need to do . He is so precise...even the pronunciation of local words. Good narrative
Man! You just made me home sick 😀! What an accurate presentation of Zim culture and life! 🙏 !
Can someone give us this mans email , I really want to send him mazoe , or anything that he misses
I'm from Gabon and I have my big brother from Zimbabwe we've been very real close since me met in 2012 I'm from Gabon 🇬🇦 and I feel like we've been brothers for life. I love Zimbabwe music #Gafa I like Winky D, Jah Prayzah etc... #OneLove #OneAfrica
True brother, we hate no one and we welcome everyone from the despised to the esteemed. Zim is a great country
So refreshing to hear someone saying positive things about Zimbabwe.
he's so emotional about leaving Zimbabwe
this man is a saint
Give this guy a Zim diplomatic passport, what an ambassador!!!
When they have daughters in marriage age they call you 'my son in law'. That's my favorite one.
Really, speaking fluent local words of three different languages. God bless Zimbabwe to it's former glory.
My son, there is no other way you could have said it better. You made me smile.🤗
If only everyone was as nice as him. I like the way he complimented Zimbabwe like that👍👍
I love how he spoke with such love and kindness. I'm here in Zim and he made everything so possitive even having no water/electricity. Amazing
He really made my day. He is of rare caliber like the Biblical Joshua and Caleb after exploring the promised land. A million thanks to him and my fellow Zimbabweans for showing who we really are. May blessed nation remain highly favored
Who's this guy? His perceptions are so refreshingly interesting
Gosh now I really want to visit Zim... being from limpopo Polokwane I always get on with Zim folk!!! Incredible people, extremely principled! Arguably the most trusted culture in Africa
How can he pronounce Shona words so accurate like that, l'm shocked. I love this guy!!!!!
I almost cried watching this, makes me see how much I took for granted some of the things that I just see as normal but to an outsider it's a whole experience on it's own. This made me miss Zimbabwe even more
I don't know when this video was done or when he stayed here. But I can safely say that this is one of the most authentic and genuine description of our country 🇿🇼. More often we have these negative comments on our people and how we live. Yes we don't have the best of everything but we try to lead a decent life. We are a loving people. Am glad to see you say such about our country. It really shows how connected you were and interacted with the people around. You had a good experience of Zimbabwe and thank you for having a heart to remember the lives that made an impact on your life during the stay here. From just how he described the events and experiences you can really tell that he lived the experiences. We continue to pray and hope for better days for our people and our country. Zimbabwe 🇿🇼♥️ shall rise and shine. My beloved 🇿🇼
Its awesome to hear some positive feedback about our neighbors!
This guy is literally Zimbabwean now
How I know this guy is Zimbabwean is when he said BASICALLY! Then goes ," am saying basically too much!" 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm Zimbabwean and this was a very accurate description of our food and the mamas and the people in general.... considering all the negative media we usually get it's refreshing to see such a positive description of the country for a change
This is one of the nicest videos I’ve watched in a while and the way he gets very emotional at the end shows how genuine he is. So respectful and I’d love to follow his life story. Zimbabweans are respected by a lot of South Africans where I’m from.
Nice to see someone who enjoyed Zimbabwe, I also like it here
Anyone else watching from 🇿🇼 lol this is low key adorable☺️
Yes you're basically Zimbabwean, need a Zimbabwean name I'll call you Muhluri, a Shangani name for a victor for you've conquered the cultural barrier, you know Sadza, Ishwa, Madora, Covo, Matemba👏👏....
You have caught the 'African bug'; there is no cure. Strangely, you'll find Africa pulsates in your veins 💕
Its great to hear someone speak so positively about our country.... thank you for reminding me that my country is beautiful.
Proudly Zimbabwean.. 🇿🇼
Dude drank undiluted Mazoe kkkkk 😂😂. Had me smiling. Just frank talk from a human to human point of view
If everyone was just like you generally the world would be a peaceful and better place. 🙏
I agree with you, I still remember the day that I went to Zimbabwe to study there at Africa University I applied online and I had to go there but I didn't know how, I found a person in town who went with me to the bus station wish was a little bit far away 👏👏👏👏
You're speaking so softly like a true Zimbabwean. That's how we talk, with a smile, fun and love always
Wow i love this i cant stop smiling...he went in with an open heart and mind and thank you for giving an unbiased opinion on Zimbabwe its very rare...most people have this idea that in Zimbabwe we are backward and all that but you are showing the world the real Zimbabwe, thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for accurately representing Zimbabwe.We are very respectful to visitors and we have always been raised to be that way.This video is everything😀❤️❤️❤️❤️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
We all hate capenta 😹😹 yet we soldier on 💪🏿 tirimo
This so touched me. You have described life in Zimbabwe too well and made me miss home.
Am proud to be a Zimbabwean and thank you for letting our culture known to those who doesn’t, #muchrespectforyou❤️
This was really fun to listen to as a Zimbabwean. There are things we take for granted or see as normal in Zimbabwe like addressing elderly women as mum. I loved this ❤️🇿🇼
Quite a true, honest and good description of Zim... Zimbos are generally loving, humble and hardworking people... We will rise again!
When he is talking he is salivating as well thinking of good tasty food . You have really made me miss home . Thank you.
As a fellow Zimbabwean. I appreciate the positive thoughts....I hope you enjoy every visit in my beautiful country. Thank you
Born and brought up there. Always said the Zimbabwean people of all color are generous and friendly. My heart breaks to see how they have suffered over the years.
You are the first honest person who knows zimbabwe for real we really love you big up
Wow. I think he went to zim with an open mind. In the western world they are bombarded with negative stuff about african countries. In the usa sone eat the rattle snake, coyote which is dog-like, snails, snail like stuff called mussels etc, crabs shell fish !! Dude, come back and sabhuku will give u yiyr iwn stand kwa Murehwa so that u will grow your own organic stuff and raise organic meat.
Yaaaa that's my country Zimbabwe, I love my country even if the economy is not stable now but we are beautiful people
being born as a Zimbabwean is truly a blessing, privlegde ,and an honor l mean l am in the country right now but this guy just made realize that through the good and bad times l encounter in ZIM l am privleged l love ZIM even more now.
I love this man...was expecting for nagative comments just because of just him being white....he is so genuine...love you brother ...GOD BLESS YOU..
We love you too man....maitabasa for telling it like it is
Qumu’qethu gecu’qethu ... My heart ❤️ this makes me miss home so much !! Glad this came up on my recommendations. Thank you for getting to know our beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
So true of Zimbabwe
There's no better country to belong to than Zimbabwe. Keep doing good my fellow Zimbabweans. Proud to be a zimbo. Its unfortunate how we are being treated outthere even by our neighbouring countries. I love my country.
You truly went to Zimbabwe with an open mind and had a good time just doing the ordinary things. I am in Virginia and am from Zimbabwe. I appreciate your review which was intriguing and captivating at a basic level. If you want more of Zimbabwe get in touch with the Zimbabwean community on WhatsApp. What church did you go to Zimbabwe with?
Why is TH-cam not recommending this? Thanks man, this is classic.
This guy exudes genuineness. I was skeptical at the beginning.
Nate is so accurate, I think he can make a good diplomat, teaching outsiders about our beautiful Zim and it's people.
The little fish are like what we call bamba in Jamaica as a child. Love chicken feet.
When i saw the title i was like ohh now what again,but i listened all the way through ,the intriduction and the presentation reflects true Zimbabwean spirit of Ubunt(humanity) thank you so much for appreciating my culture which i miss so much.you truly blended well and am sure you are trully missed there as well.
Thank you for telling the world the truth about our country and our people. The world hates us but one day they will know the truth and love us as you do. May God bless you , brother.
Like this just changed a Zimbabwean's perspective on their country of origin.
This guy is making me miss home😢come backkkkkkkkk
I can't stop smiling either. You've really taken me back home with your experiences.
Never heard a more truthful account of Zim , u were surely in Zim n very honest , we love you too man
I actually really enjoyed listening to our lifestyle..I'm like wow yahh that's exactly what we do..
it's just amazing when someone describes it in that appreciative way
I’m impressed you are very emotional pray for us that we may see you again in a better Zimbabwe
If it wasnt for our economy,non of us would be in these foreign lands suffering.Home is best,l miss Zim always 😭😭
He went and lived in the real Zimbabwe and loved it still. Thank you
I appreciate the genuine love you have for us Zimbabweans. The way you are expressing the love you got from Zim that's amazing. I know we so very welcoming.
I'm From Namibia and never have been to Zimbabwe, but I met hundreds of Zimbabweans in Namibia and South Africa, And I can Truly agree on how Amazingly Friendly they Are.! Wil definitely travel Zimbabwe one day!
Very true, some of my best friends are from ZIM.... lovely country
Wow what a nice and genuine description of Zimbabwe.Thanx bro❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed watching this and thank you for visiting our beloved Zimbabwe, it is indeed a lovely country, you are more than welcome to visit us again. 🇿🇼
When he mentioned the carpenter eyes, just took me back to my childhood, any way you really know zim people kudos 👍to you
If anyone ever asks me to describe zim I'd show them this video!!
This is the most accurate depiction of Zimbabwe a beautiful place with beautiful people 👏🏽
I love this and I love how he is speaking about us with respect even though the culture is different.
