as a white south african , the similarities between the apartheid regime and nazi ideology is STARK even down to the word baas (ive only heard baas and madam) it reinforces the ideology of one "master" race. Also the reservations, bantustans, were directly inspired by US colonialism and manifest destiny
Unsurprisingly, the similarity is now more obvious than ever between Zionism, Nazi ideology, and any apartheid regime. They all stem from an ill, hate-inducing notion that a group of people is superior to another.
@@ruthtrentwood3374 A lot of white South Africans are racist though ... I am Colombian mestizo and have traveled and met a lot of people and many white south africans are racist ... I've met many many black SA and they are always warm welcoming while white are usually more prone to make friends with other white people and avoid people of color.. I guess changes is harder than what you expect ..and agree with what people wrote change came only with pressure, guerrilla fighting and international opinion been against Apartheid ..
Thank you South Africa for suing Israel in international Court for the genocide they're committing. It makes so much sense that South Africa is the one bringing these charges against israel. May truth and Justice and not political agendas Prevail there
As a Somali I am proud that my homeland supported the South African resistance to apartheid. I'm saddened by the xenophobia experienced by my fellow Somalis in South Africa but I will always support my fellow Africans in the struggle against colonialism and oppression.
@@ThembaNyikanyikaIts quite unfortunate to refer to someone like you as an AFRICAN or even Human!! Do you know the number of illegal immigrants living in America, Europe and other parts of the world? Have they been killed by these respective countries?? so what's so special about SA?? Bro stop being such an ignorant bitter hateful soul towards your own fellow Africans that were supporting you, when white people were oppressing you under apartheid!
When they say white people just marched, didn't work, and have money that isn't earned, this is just pure ignorance, white people busted their asses there and brought their knowledge in that parts, they were digging for gold with black people, that part of Africa wasn't civilized, black people were living in mud huts, it is essential to acknowledge that colonization introduced advancements like food preservation, medicine, and infrastructure, contributing to the prosperity of many Africans and saved millions of lives, contributed to the population boom in Africa. Now many black people can't get their own thing started there, their farms for example fail because of lack of cooperation, knowledge and sheer will to make it happen, while white farmers sussed, they get blamed and murdered: 10 000 of them were murdered in cold blood and tortured, this genocide of white farmers is still happening. Don't forget many black people entered Europe and within generation they are called British, while black people can't accept white people living in africa, who were there for centuries, And they resent white people for their communities, but if you look at education and crime statistics it's worse in black areas not because of white people, the government that is black isn't helping its people, how can white people be blamed for black families having 10 children while not having any resources to feed them, take care of them, school them etc which of course breeds more disenfranchised bored criminals or drug addicts. Also people naturally want to be with people who look like themselves and this is how communities form, they tried the "force association" but immediately there was trouble, black men were raping white women and robbing people, this is why towns like Orania sprung, where they absolutely won't take in black people, because there is so much violence, why, well race is a huge factor people can't seem to overcome, and black people really like to blame the white man for all of their ills because it takes away the blame for their own shortcomings.
@@DinoBryce you must be a white south african enjoying that lavish life huh? i too would be mad when the people my government has been oppressing would try to do the same thing to us. like i enjoyed watching you suffer and living in the home you forcefully had to leave
For some reason, while watching this video, tears uncontrollably flew out of my eyes. There is a horrible uniqueness to the type of pain you experience when you witness and live the elimination of your people and then that of others.
As a South African I think the world doesn’t understand why we’re so Pro-Palestine but it’s simply because we share the same struggles And not to mention the fact that Apartheid was friends with Israel So obviously The Republic of South Africa will be friends with Palestine Not to forget the words of Mandela our freedom is not truly achieved if Palestine is not free
Remove all borders worldwide and see what happens. Whats happened now is that the economy is overwhelmed and every gov department is collapsed and bankrupt in SA, not to mention EUROPE and the USA and Canada too. Turkey too. South Africa has more than 14 million illegals draining all resources. Great hey. locals are killing them en masse. Tribalism has now replaced apartheid and is 10 times worse. Ask the ANC about it when they murdered 24 000 Zulu men , women and children in 92-93, merely for belonging to a non Marxist party. Civil war is now imminent with 60 % unemployment.
You down playing the Apartheid used to exist in South Africa by calling the Palestinian Issue as Apartheid‼️ there is not such Apartheid in Israel ‼️ in Israel are 1,8 Million Arab Muslims living they have top jobs! they have politicians in Israeli Government! They are in the IDF! there are judges in courts! did have the South Africans such privileges during the Apartheid⁉️ No‼️
I am white South African but grew up in an English speaking area. We wouldn’t humiliate people of colour like that. I had heard the word “baas” but not “nooi” it’s the first I am hearing that word. I fought for the oppressed. I do the same for Palestine now. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
@kunupinyana I didn’t ask to be born where I was. Ironically enough an African lady said that to me in London so I asked what she was doing in Europe. That shut her up. Imagine telling that to a person of colour in Europe they are not welcome. You’re a xenophobe and no better than the racist settler oppressor.
He was talking about the point when the settlers arrived. Our identities at that point was based on our Africanness. When we chose to use Blackness as a political identity, it was to self-determine who we are in the face of oppression.
And that is why the mainstream media should always be consumed with the greatest skepticism. I always wondered why Palistine is still in conflict with the Israelis to this day. It's disgraceful that the full truth, is not laid out for the whole world to know, but only Israel's side, of course very sympathetically portrayed, is told.
In South Africa, Black people are also called Kaffir (Not to be confused with Arabic Kafir, which means disbeliever) as yet another degratory term. The apartheid faced by Blacks on South Africa is strikingly similar to Palestinians on the West Bank.
So blacks are facing apartheid? All thanks to the ANC. It's been 30 years now...in 2024, and the ANC's popularity has dwindled to an all-time LOW! WHY? Because they are hypocritical. They lie. They cheat. They steal. They are corrupt. Our country has a dysfunctional elecricity system. The coffers are drying up. Black people still live in squallor. Infrastructure is crumbling. The ANC does not know how to look after its own people. But it is at the forefront fighting for Gaza. 1000s of kilometres away. And yet at its own doorstep, its people suffer. This country is the murder and rape capital of the world. The most HIV infections. But it wants to fight for Gaza! STOP fighting other people's battles and CLEAN UP the f*&#$ mess you made!😡 Let Gaza fight it's own battles, for crying out loud!!!!
Thanks for your video, it is well produced and gives a voice to people that is important. I do, however, think that the perspective provided is one-sided and some of the narratives are only partly true. If you want to read a book that attempts to illustrate a balanced perspective I can recommend a book called "The covenant" by James Michener. I myself received schooling during apartheid as well as after, first I was taught a biased perspective on history as told by the Afrikaners and later a perspective biased in the other direction. Both of these forms of brainwashing lead to lots of unnecessary friction between our different races. The mentioned book tries to explore the stories from all sides, Khoi-San, Xhosa, Zulu, imported slaves, French settlers, Dutch settlers, English settlers and Imperial British rulers among others. The book helped me think outside of my existing framework and I think it could help you too, and perhaps you can find additional useful parallels between the different nations.
Black people weren't allowed to resign either my gran worked for a Jewish family that would pay her in food when she ran away and started working for an English family that atleast paid her she was fetched a few days later by her previous employers, my mother was quite antisemitic because of what they put my gran through. But it was the unfair legal system people just took advantage and a lot were victims of indoctrination
When Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan, us bengalees faces similar segregation from them. Treated as second class citizens, barebone budgets, higher cost of living, less percentage in government jobs and the army although we were the majority. Thats why we swore an oath after we freed ourselves. We are with Palestine, we were with South Africans and we will always stand against Apartheid and colonialism.
And you should tell us if you discovered why this is continuing. After all the colonialism ended in over 60 years ago. South Africa has been a democracy for 30 years and had a first world infrastructure and the best economy when Nelson Mandela's ANC came to power.
Im a south african muslim Indian from Durban and i was born at the end of apartheid, i come from a family that fought against apartheid and we only heard stories and watches classified tapes that were stolen from.my aunts car about what was done to the freedom foghters and the 'black' people during the apartheid era! Thank you for this series its brilliant and i hope this opens the eyes of many people who have even a bit of humanity left in them to fight against apartheid israhell!
Black Palestinian people are treated very differently and badly by their light skinned counterparts. Sone even say they are not Palestinian. This Palestinian vs Isreal war is nit a fight for black South Africans. They should stay out of it. Because these Arabs Palestinian people don’t treat black Arabs in the gulf any better. They are treated very badly
Sadly true. Many dark skinned Arabs are descendants of African slaves & still carry that stigma. Even in Palestinian controlled areas they are often second class citizens. This idea that they are not "human" was clearly seen in the brutal murder of Tanzanian agricultural worker Joshua Mollel by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7. It is heartbreaking to see this lovely man begging for his life but the Hamas brutally stabbing him & then shooting him in the face before they stole his body back to Gaza. Horrific.
True Arabs are very racist but any wrong/evil should be called out and it would be downright malevolent for us to have had apartheid and defeated and allowed apartheid to be a practice elsewhere in the world with regard to humanity.... also Palestine helped SA in its liberation so we definitely owe them
It is important to show the story of the Palestinians to the world but more important than that is to make the Palestinian people aware of their rights and the bright future they can have without apartheid bc at the end of the day it is Palestinians that should fight for liberty. Thank you for the great video!
I am a white Afrikaner. I'm particularly moved by what Jacob says about his grandparents and I wish I could apologise to him for centuries of "baasskap" because I don't think enough of us have actually said sorry.
Don't apologize for colonialism which is something all peoples are guilty of but apologize for apartheid which is the defining moment of White South Africans against Blacks/Brown peoples... you're just as much native to SA as any Black is... it's just certain ills that were done and Afrikaners aren't the cause of this... the British (those👿👿👿😈) are literally the ones who architected apartheid and polluted Afrikaners with their racism (apartheid is found only in British colonies such as the US/Australia/New Zealand/Canada/Palestine/Israel) this isn't a coincidence... the British owe all South Africans/Namibians/Batswana for causing the racial problems afflicting them today
the green pass is so similar to the ID passport (also green) that Palestinians now have to show it alongside their passport to even pass (only work, medical, or education allowed) Will be forced to not enter or arrested if they don't have it
we had them in Canada too. my mother's grandmother used to visit her cousins on the reserve and would sometimes be gone for weeks because she couldn't get a pass to get out. But the cousins never got out of the reserve except for her funeral.
@@rosestewart1606 dang that's just horrid. I had to deal with this type of stupidity of green passes when I visited Palestine so I can't imagine the pain of having to wait for an unfortunate opportunity like that. I'm so sorry...
I still have my mother's green dom pass from the apartheid era , I can relate to all that were said in this documentary experience from my childhood🇿🇦😢
Its weird how one land, with similar peoples can be so different from one side to another. One side is prosperous and deals with hardships and natural disasters in a pragmatic, united way, and the other is governed by corrupt self-serving politicians who do not serve their people. I'm of course talking about the Dominican republic and Haiti.
This is exactly what is happening in South Africa too. This video is pure propaganda which ignores the facts and current causes of economic "apartheid" caused by the black elite government and its cronies.
I truly feel for Dominicans 🇩🇴 😢 who found themselves having to pay the price for France's mistakes/transgressions... no one deserves a fraction of what the Dominican Republic has been through and the world must be informed of all sides of the story before sympathizing with the so-called "poor Haiti" which committed numerous monstrosities against the DR which they are yet to account for but even acknowledge but instead the Haitians pride themselves in it and spit in the Dominicans' faces
@@jonye7511Not really... SA is a country with its own unique position and history and all of its peoples helped to make SA what it is today... a mongrel civilization along with its sister tribes... The story of La Hispaniola is very different in that it's literally the tale of two different Empires and their babies which couldn't be any more different and how literally France doomed Hispaniola by creating an exploitative slave colony (present-day Haiti) with an already established country with a people who had a culture/history/demography similar/interconnected to that of Cuba and Puerto Rico... no country deserves what the DR has been forced into by France and its failure child Haiti
"South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white!" Human dignity, the achievement of equality and the advancement of human rights and freedoms, non-racialism and non-sexism are all ideals built into the Constitution of South Africa. This was the dream after the abolishment of the inhumane apartheid system, which should make everyone who voted for the white supremist NP( national party) feel remorseful - saddened by the ignorance born out of anxiety to be overpowered by a vast black majority and also determination to protect their European heritage and culture but more importantly, the hard fought for freedom - threatened by majority rule. The Afrikaner history will show severe hardship under British rule, which resulted in the uprise that lead to the Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902) during which 1000's of women and children died from starvation and disease in British concentration camps. I would call Apartheid a desperate attempt of selfpreservation, but still condemn the system. On various platforms today I have heard people of all races say, were our beloved Nelson Mandela alive today, he would not vote for the ANC. The minority white sector (7.3% of society) is being excluded, discriminated against in many sectors of public life - a reverse kind of apartheid and not condusive to a healthy society. Eg: BEE: Black economic powerment. South Africans suffer under the rule of the democratically elected African National Congress (ANC) with corruption and double standards being the norm. South Africans have for decades been subjected to empty promises and repetetive idealistic rhetoric, using the narrative of past endurance under the apartheid system as a means of cohesion andñ influencing the voting population. The expected upliftment through business opportunities only resulted in benefiting a selected minority: e.g. BEE (Black economic enpowerment) is a system whereby black business is favoured by the state, granting tenders to black- owned co's, excluding other races in South African society - exercising a control not on par with democratic law. The ANC government, expected to be leading the previously disadvantaged people into a new future, is not leading by example with obvious self- enrichment and advancement of civil employees who are often incompetent and not always qualified for the positions they fill. Many thousands of black millionairs were created since the start of democracy in 1994, with the abolishment of the apartheid system and the institution of "one man one vote", whereby the vast majority of black voters, which constitutes 81.4% of the population, has kept the ANC in office as the ruling party until the present day. This, while children in the country die from malnutrition and starvation. SAM- severe acute malnutritian and starvation under children in SA - especially in the Eastern Cape. Furthermore, privalent in South African society are: low levels of education, child head families, teenage pregnancies, high unemployment levels throughout the country (out of a population of over 60 million, 16.7 million people are out of work), which ultimately add to problems of alcohol and drug abuse and high crime levels. Domestic violence and violence against woman and children have become a scourge. With a mostly incompetent police force, people have to rely on private security providers - unaffordable by the vast majority of citizens. I believe the average South African to be good at heart with a strong conviction for freedom and justice, but appearances are often deceiving.
We must not forget that apartheid South Africa and apartheid NAZIsrael cooperated in many sector : weapon manufacturing, nuclear weapon, spying, security, economy. No wonder this 2 racist oppressive colonial regimes look so alike.
the wealth gap is getting wider wider between settlers in South Africa and the native africans. The apartheid doesnt end. It needs full decolonization; reparation; and wealth redistribution.
Do you also refer to Americans and Australians as “settlers”? Calling white South Africans “settlers” is hate speech. And if you actually knew what was happening in South Africa, you’d understand that it is the ruling ANC that is wrecking South Africa.
@@SirKaisonMost of what you said is true.... but let's not downplay apartheid's role in the current state of SA... the ANC aren't the only ones at fault here... much of what happened during apartheid continues to and will continue to plague SA as healing takes much longer to achieve than the healing of the wound
Thank you so much for what you’re doing for covering this vital material and the necessity of its dissemination. I find it fascinating and extremely enlightening. I am curious to know what the current mentality is of the current South African white population. And if you haven’t, perhaps you’ll consider speaking to some of the White residents to get an idea of what their mentality looks like today within relation to the rest of the South African population. Thank you.
Couldn’t find the time to interview at least one “white” South African? What a way to dehumanise white South Africans. Many whites actually want South Africa to prosper for all that live in it.
@@zahedamohameds8359False Afrikaners were the prime recipients of British imperialism after the diabolical British took over SA from the Dutch so false... also Britain is also the one that polluted Afrikaners with apartheid ideals and architected apartheid (which is what the British did in the Americas to Blacks) so Afrikaners have a story to tell like anyone else
Psalms 105:23 Naturally it's the land of Ham as well as the land of Canaan or Israel; ancient Israel were people of color with different texture of hair, some straight,wavey, curly, thick curly to kinky. Whenever Alexander and his generals took over history drastically changed.
There's quite a few inaccuracies here: When the Dutch arrived in 1652, there were probably only about a million people in the entire territory that would become SA. Thus a vast and 'empty' land with small pockets of habitation. There were no Xhosa speakers in the Cape, but Khoi herders and San hunter/gatherer peoples. My ancestor was a French religious refugee who was settled in the Cape by the VOC. My ancestors (European, Malay, Bengali and Khoi) had already been living in the Cape for more than a century before the first Xhosas started migrating into the Cape colony. So for the ex-MK to proclaim that the Cape was Black (Xhosa-speaking), is just a straight up lie. Also, after 3 centuries and 15 generations, I consider myself indigenous African. It serves the racist Black elite to refer to 'The Whites' as settlers and colonialists - You can't be either if you're naturally born here and they do it to turn us into perpetual 'foreigners' in the country of our birth. Saying that SeaPoint is 99.9% White is also untrue. Maybe it was that way back in the 80s, but it's been a lot more diverse for ages! I suppose one can't spin good propaganda around the actual truth.
In other words white Americans, after living in America for more than 5 centuries, are now indigenous Americans as you call yourself "indigenous african " ? So why the apartheid your white parents instituted a segregation where it was Cristal clear written on public Europeans vs Natives ( aka Africans ) I saw another post during apartheid where it was written : Beware of natives. 😂😂
The reporting lacks balance, with a clear attempt to blame white South Africans for all of the country's issues. The reporter didn't interview any white South Africans to include their perspective, which dehumanises the entire group. White South Africans were also constantly referred to as “they” in the video. Not cool. How does re-opening these old wounds help alleviate poverty? Seriously. We all know who’s f*cking up South Africa in 2023 and it’s NOT “white” people. The ANC fears nothing more than whites and blacks working together… South Africans should never lose sight of the rainbow nation ideal. 🇿🇦
In the video, some interviewees express a desire for retribution, aiming to punish white South Africans for historical wrongs. As someone born after apartheid, the idea of being held accountable and punished for my ancestors' actions feels absurd and counterproductive.
@SirKaison I see. So why are contemporary German people still paying France and other countries H**tler destroyed 🤔? Should current Germans be accountable for the wrongs of their parents during H**tler regime ?
The healing always takes much longer than the wounding, and we still have a long way to go. I believe in the rainbow, but we need to grow up fast, and set an example for the world, under present circumstances. We all believe in, and will continue to strive towards one nation and equality for all our people. I personally pray for one united Holyland, for all its inhabitants, and for monotheists across the world. We have our small role to play in South Africa, but God's own country should set a greater example than us. When our brothers and sisters are lost, we band together to find them, and bring them home, and when they've gone astray, we should band together to show them the way, and bring them back onto the path. 🙏🌎🕊️
A great book, Coloured, how classification became culture. Written by Tessa Dooms and Lynsey Ebony Chutel. We all need to write our stories, to process the past inhuman history. The pass was called a “domm pass “. The thought , just inhuman.
It's essentially the same in the US and Europe frankly. I lived in all 3. Its economic segregation which is inherently racist. The economic segregation in SA defines 1st versus 3rd world conditions just like Brazil. A paradigm shift is required with decentralization of power.
Great video! Hopefully Israel/Palestine becomes a better country when the world comes to its senses - one where prosperity is shared and not one where Jews continue live off what they have stolen and Palestinians to fight for better lives.
They did this to the Indians of america they succeeded. They did this to the Aborigines in australia they succeeded. They did this to the Maoris in new zealand they succeeded. They did this to the indigenous South Africans they fortunately theoretically failed. They are doing this to the Palestinians lets not let them succeed.
The Europeans did civilise them though and although alot wasn't good. These former colonies are much better places than they were before. It was also mostly people from the colonised country who were fighting the other tribes with help from the coloniser to free them from slavery, war and cannabilism. Some good, Some bad.
@@Pebb5 no they did not. all these colonies had billions of dollars of wealth stolen off of them. you're no better than the colonialist if you are defending him
It takes more than 30 years to change a society and a larger group of people living standard after being oppressed for so long. It's not like the entire country was poor and came rich together. Second- Mandela did an overall shit job. Freedom fighters should rule after wining. It's tends to always go bad. He could have done so much more. The hard issues of land for example could have been forced more, so by 30 years things could have become stable. SF needs a major change which is becoming harder and harder when the black elites have joined in the theft.
While I agree, it needs to be remembered that if SA had nationalised land, it would have come under American sanctions like Cuba, Venezuela, etc. Previous revolutionary governments had been able to rely on the USSR as a trade partner to bypass the sanctions, but the USSR had just collapsed
Exactly. What is the point of blaming white South Africans for the past if they don’t have the power to change the present? It’s counterproductive. Beside the Western Cape, whites lack political power in South Africa. The ANC fears nothing more than whites and blacks working together.
You’re not supposed to be there and the only reason you are is because of your barbaric ancestors , so LEAVE. You can’t heal a wound with the infection still hanging around.
True but mentality must change on both sides... plus apartheid's curse cannot be downplayed... it will continue to plague SA for generations to come... South Africans need to come together and talk to each other instead of building up hostilities towards each other and making generalizations about each other... SA was built by both Blacks and Whites (which created a new race representing both races) and need to respect each other and help each other because SA doesn't belong to just one group but all of its Native populations which includes Whites, Blacks and Brown peoples together
I never thought that i would live to see the struggle become real for the advantaged minority groups. NO groups will be able to avoid the burn of what is coming. Luckily for the disadvantaged majority we live the struggle and know how to make something out of nothing.❤ Very interesting times ahead.
@uncivilized I get a little confused with this with this story. If Palestine is being recognised as a state by other countries, how then are you saying that the West Bank / Ramallah is apartheid. When you fly to South Africa, what passport did you use, Palestinian or Israeli? I hope you are not offended by my question.
Black South Africans have been free for 30 years. Their leaders have enriched themselves at the expense of the people who continue to live in abject poverty. Only those connected to government are wealthy. Especially the original first peoples (descendents of the khoisan) are marginalised now.
@@snoopcelev1590 tokenizing some palestinians is one of the smartest moves of Israel and it's deliberate you can read about it in plan dalet they always planned on letting 20% of the rich Palestinians to live in between them
Can't compare Israel/Palestine to South Africa. The Jews are the original people of Israel. In fact, Israel is the only country in the world which inhabits the same land, speaks the same language, has the same capital and worships the same God as they did 3000 years ago.
How I Pray your guides could all, where necessary, be HEALED of the 'bad' which was experienced in varied degrees and circumstances, across all races in this country. As are worse scenarios now escalating in other counties! There are many millions of us who stood together for a NEW SOUTH AFRICA and will continue to do by the Grace of GOD - despite betrayal of those we trusted to govern us - the Judas faction whose purpose has a history of self seeking despite the immeasurable cost to THE PEOPLE of our country. Their recent 'history' is as detrimental to the well being of our citizens as was that which many of us stood against under 'apartheid'! Do not use propoganda of ill intent to further foreign agendas against the God fearing people of our beautiful land. It is filled with the nicest and kindest, heart worthy intelligent, peace loving, 'ordinary' people, many in exceptionally difficult circumstances. Thankfully there still are such decent people in many other places in the World. Do not make a mockery of TRUE 'freedom fighters'. They were and are NOT terrorists. TRUE Freedom Fighters use 'weapons' of another order. Those are invincible. So sad that during a visit here the 'investigation' itiniary seems not to have included time to enable meeting many, if any?! Be fully aware and seek the Alive and Well Spirit of our country's REAL people who are from among all 'races' of our united South Africa. Those are not prepped or fuelled by hateful indoctrination from their varied past 'histories' of one sort or another (as some were then too, to the detriment of our country!) despite the endeavours of manipulators with foreign agendas. Those agendas are as obvious as the Writing on the Wall - and that Writing is a warning 'To Them.' ❤
I find it surreal that two Black Nguni man standing on District Six claiming our ancestors as theirs and ignoring Coloured struggle in our city and our homeland to a Palestinian. Talking about erasure and colonisation. It's kind of weird.
Not a full picture. No interview with any Khoisan - the true indigenous people of South Africa. In the same way, the Arabs are not the true indigenous people of Northern Africa - the Copts of Egypt, the Berbers of Algeria, Libya, and Morrocco were there long before the Arabs invaded and colonized those lands. The Japanese are not the true imdigenous people of of Japan - the Ainu are the true indigenous people of Japan.
How Israel is an Apartheid exactly? There are 2 million Arab Muslims live in Israel with FULL EQUAL RIGHTS. The other Palestinians live in Gaza and Judea and Sameria are living under Palestinian authorities, not Israelis. Now you can maybe say they’re not allowed to travel freely to Israel. Well, this is because some of them choose terror and Israel doesn’t want to let them in. Now you can say they are stuck in this places and cant go anywhere. Well, this video shows Palestinian who travel abroad. Amazing. The jews (unlike white africans) has really strong claim for this land and there are million evidences spread along this land to prove it
You are delusional if you think non Jews live with equal rights in Israel. What strong claim? Some book written by a white man? 90% of Israelis are from Eastern Europe
@@TheBoneruner "90% of Israelis are from Eastern Europe" - NO! Almost half of the jews in Israel are from the ME > "A 2018 statistic found that 45% of Jewish Israelis identified as either Mizrahi or Sephardic.[15]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews
The Palestinians to which Salem belongs to are not exempted from racism to my utmost surprise! I meet some Palestinians with their Arap brothers who tend to be just as racist towards blacks as the Israelis are towards them so, please save us the ordeal and deal with the Israeli racism with your fellow Arap brothers as well.
Talkig out of your ars of course, we have whole Arab nations of consist of blacks! many Arab nations who have over 60% blacks all same rights we even have black sheikhs... so you spare yourself the humiliation and lies!
Firstly, that doesn't justify the colonialism, oppression, occupation, and apartheid by Israel against Palestinians. Secondly, I've never met a Palestinian who is racist, there are dickheads from every nation and I'm sure there are some Palestinians who are racist, just like how some South Africans are xenophobic towards Somali, Ethiopian and Nigerian immigrants in South Africa. That doesn't change the fact that all nations deserve freedom and self determination.
@@garethmartin6522 My observation was more on where the apartheid term doesn't fully capture Palestine's plight as they have a separate country and a (fully Palestinian) government already. Your comment was to do with similarities in the SA-Isrseli rhetoric (I believe)
They do have a huge common factor. The Same COLONIZER. And during apartheid years, Palestine aoded south Africa despite itself being under occupation. I get your point though.

After 5 years of school only about half can figure out that 24 divided by 3= 8. South Africa’s maths and science education has again been shown to be among the worst in the world - second last - according to the largest ever global school rankings. Municipalities Of the 257 municipalities in South Africa, a full 66 have been declared dysfunctional by the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta). Treasury cautioned that 151 municipalities are on the brink of collapse. State Owned Enterprise Please articulate the financial health and managment of these couple state owned enterprises. • South African Airways • Denel • South African post office • South Africa Broadcasting Corporation • Transnet • Eskom Corruption Corruption and international perceptions of corruption in South Africa has been damaging to the country’s reputation and has created obstacles to local and foreign direct investment, flows to the stock market, global competitiveness, economic growth and has ultimately distorted the development and upliftment of its people, this is not limited to the last decade, its far deeper than that.
There are SOUTH Africans of all color, culture and language, are trying to put the past behind and learn to live together. Im Cape Town we see many getting along. There are those that continue to have a victim mentality. Parents are the ones who can change of course of these conflicts by encouraging their children to respect others that are different to them. None is perfect and all the decorations are different but the cake is still the same underneath. We all have challenges and tragedies and supporting and encouraging one one, being empathic goes a long way to bring hope and healing to wounded hearts.
I am also tired of this. It clear the ANC failed us just as the previous government. This black lives matter mentality does not fly in South Africa. I really dont feel white people are out to get me. As much as prejudices exist. Our problem is corruption not racism.
True.. True. I was so glad in 1994 when BLACK AFRICANS could take over SA, like happened in Zimbabwe. Now 2024, these 2 countries have grown (?), no stealing of fumds for housing (?), no corruption (?), yes????
as a white south african , the similarities between the apartheid regime and nazi ideology is STARK even down to the word baas (ive only heard baas and madam) it reinforces the ideology of one "master" race. Also the reservations, bantustans, were directly inspired by US colonialism and manifest destiny
How did some whites in South Africa end up getting rid of this supremacist mentality? Your insight can prove helpful to the issue in Israel.
Unsurprisingly, the similarity is now more obvious than ever between Zionism, Nazi ideology, and any apartheid regime. They all stem from an ill, hate-inducing notion that a group of people is superior to another.
@@ruthtrentwood3374my guess would be that the supremacy wasn't viable anymore because of international pressure
@@ruthtrentwood3374 A lot of white South Africans are racist though ... I am Colombian mestizo and have traveled and met a lot of people and many white south africans are racist ... I've met many many black SA and they are always warm welcoming while white are usually more prone to make friends with other white people and avoid people of color.. I guess changes is harder than what you expect ..and agree with what people wrote change came only with pressure, guerrilla fighting and international opinion been against Apartheid ..

Thank you South Africa for suing Israel in international Court for the genocide they're committing. It makes so much sense that South Africa is the one bringing these charges against israel. May truth and Justice and not political agendas Prevail there
As a Somali I am proud that my homeland supported the South African resistance to apartheid. I'm saddened by the xenophobia experienced by my fellow Somalis in South Africa but I will always support my fellow Africans in the struggle against colonialism and oppression.
Agreed! We must snuff out xenophobia in our country. It's a horrible legacy from a people who know what oppression and discrimination feels like.

@@ThembaNyikanyikaIts quite unfortunate to refer to someone like you as an AFRICAN or even Human!! Do you know the number of illegal immigrants living in America, Europe and other parts of the world? Have they been killed by these respective countries?? so what's so special about SA?? Bro stop being such an ignorant bitter hateful soul towards your own fellow Africans that were supporting you, when white people were oppressing you under apartheid!
We were granted asylum as refugees and many Somalis were living in south africa before 1994.
being from this country, makes it super easy to see parallels with Palestine
Even as a tourist to Israel/Palestine, it is clear a 2-tier society exists.
When they say white people just marched, didn't work, and have money that isn't earned, this is just pure ignorance, white people busted their asses there and brought their knowledge in that parts, they were digging for gold with black people, that part of Africa wasn't civilized, black people were living in mud huts, it is essential to acknowledge that colonization introduced advancements like food preservation, medicine, and infrastructure, contributing to the prosperity of many Africans and saved millions of lives, contributed to the population boom in Africa. Now many black people can't get their own thing started there, their farms for example fail because of lack of cooperation, knowledge and sheer will to make it happen, while white farmers sussed, they get blamed and murdered: 10 000 of them were murdered in cold blood and tortured, this genocide of white farmers is still happening.
Don't forget many black people entered Europe and within generation they are called British, while black people can't accept white people living in africa, who were there for centuries, And they resent white people for their communities, but if you look at education and crime statistics it's worse in black areas not because of white people, the government that is black isn't helping its people, how can white people be blamed for black families having 10 children while not having any resources to feed them, take care of them, school them etc which of course breeds more disenfranchised bored criminals or drug addicts. Also people naturally want to be with people who look like themselves and this is how communities form, they tried the "force association" but immediately there was trouble, black men were raping white women and robbing people, this is why towns like Orania sprung, where they absolutely won't take in black people, because there is so much violence, why, well race is a huge factor people can't seem to overcome, and black people really like to blame the white man for all of their ills because it takes away the blame for their own shortcomings.
As a South African, I support Israel finally getting freedom from its oppressors.

For some reason, while watching this video, tears uncontrollably flew out of my eyes. There is a horrible uniqueness to the type of pain you experience when you witness and live the elimination of your people and then that of others.
As a South African I think the world doesn’t understand why we’re so Pro-Palestine but it’s simply because we share the same struggles
And not to mention the fact that Apartheid was friends with Israel
So obviously The Republic of South Africa will be friends with Palestine
Not to forget the words of Mandela our freedom is not truly achieved if Palestine is not free
Another similarity is that SA today have terrorist leaders same as Palestine
You guys are amazing. Thank you for standing by our brothers in Palestine

Apartheid wrong in South Africa wrong in Palestine
Remove all borders worldwide and see what happens. Whats happened now is that the economy is overwhelmed and every gov department is collapsed and bankrupt in SA, not to mention EUROPE and the USA and Canada too. Turkey too. South Africa has more than 14 million illegals draining all resources. Great hey. locals are killing them en masse. Tribalism has now replaced apartheid and is 10 times worse. Ask the ANC about it when they murdered 24 000 Zulu men , women and children in 92-93, merely for belonging to a non Marxist party. Civil war is now imminent with 60 % unemployment.

Incredible video. You work so hard and it shows. Free Palestine. I'm wishing the best for you under this fascist government.
Brilliant piece of documentary! I wonder it should get 1 billion views!
Props on a clear and effective thumbnail and good video overall you do people justice
And that is why the mainstream media should always be consumed with the greatest skepticism. I always wondered why Palistine is still in conflict with the Israelis to this day. It's disgraceful that the full truth, is not laid out for the whole world to know, but only Israel's side, of course very sympathetically portrayed, is told.
In South Africa, Black people are also called Kaffir (Not to be confused with Arabic Kafir, which means disbeliever) as yet another degratory term. The apartheid faced by Blacks on South Africa is strikingly similar to Palestinians on the West Bank.
So blacks are facing apartheid? All thanks to the ANC. It's been 30 years now...in 2024, and the ANC's popularity has dwindled to an all-time LOW! WHY? Because they are hypocritical. They lie. They cheat. They steal. They are corrupt.
Our country has a dysfunctional elecricity system. The coffers are drying up. Black people still live in squallor. Infrastructure is crumbling.
The ANC does not know how to look after its own people. But it is at the forefront fighting for Gaza. 1000s of kilometres away. And yet at its own doorstep, its people suffer. This country is the murder and rape capital of the world. The most HIV infections. But it wants to fight for Gaza!

True
Thanks for your video, it is well produced and gives a voice to people that is important. I do, however, think that the perspective provided is one-sided and some of the narratives are only partly true. If you want to read a book that attempts to illustrate a balanced perspective I can recommend a book called "The covenant" by James Michener. I myself received schooling during apartheid as well as after, first I was taught a biased perspective on history as told by the Afrikaners and later a perspective biased in the other direction. Both of these forms of brainwashing lead to lots of unnecessary friction between our different races. The mentioned book tries to explore the stories from all sides, Khoi-San, Xhosa, Zulu, imported slaves, French settlers, Dutch settlers, English settlers and Imperial British rulers among others. The book helped me think outside of my existing framework and I think it could help you too, and perhaps you can find additional useful parallels between the different nations.
Salem thank you for listening and being so present through this video. Wish this video was longer 😊
Black people weren't allowed to resign either my gran worked for a Jewish family that would pay her in food when she ran away and started working for an English family that atleast paid her she was fetched a few days later by her previous employers, my mother was quite antisemitic because of what they put my gran through. But it was the unfair legal system people just took advantage and a lot were victims of indoctrination
When Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan, us bengalees faces similar segregation from them. Treated as second class citizens, barebone budgets, higher cost of living, less percentage in government jobs and the army although we were the majority. Thats why we swore an oath after we freed ourselves. We are with Palestine, we were with South Africans and we will always stand against Apartheid and colonialism.
I lived in Africa for 3 1/2 years and nothing has changed...actually things are even worse!
Where in Africa?
And you should tell us if you discovered why this is continuing. After all the colonialism ended in over 60 years ago. South Africa has been a democracy for 30 years and had a first world infrastructure and the best economy when Nelson Mandela's ANC came to power.
Thank you for telling their stories so beautifully ❤ I’m what we call a ‘born free’ and I’ve learnt a lot from this video!
Im a south african muslim Indian from Durban and i was born at the end of apartheid, i come from a family that fought against apartheid and we only heard stories and watches classified tapes that were stolen from.my aunts car about what was done to the freedom foghters and the 'black' people during the apartheid era! Thank you for this series its brilliant and i hope this opens the eyes of many people who have even a bit of humanity left in them to fight against apartheid israhell!
Black Palestinian people are treated very differently and badly by their light skinned counterparts. Sone even say they are not Palestinian.
This Palestinian vs Isreal war is nit a fight for black South Africans. They should stay out of it. Because these Arabs Palestinian people don’t treat black Arabs in the gulf any better. They are treated very badly
Sadly true. Many dark skinned Arabs are descendants of African slaves & still carry that stigma. Even in Palestinian controlled areas they are often second class citizens. This idea that they are not "human" was clearly seen in the brutal murder of Tanzanian agricultural worker Joshua Mollel by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7. It is heartbreaking to see this lovely man begging for his life but the Hamas brutally stabbing him & then shooting him in the face before they stole his body back to Gaza. Horrific.
True Arabs are very racist but any wrong/evil should be called out and it would be downright malevolent for us to have had apartheid and defeated and allowed apartheid to be a practice elsewhere in the world with regard to humanity.... also Palestine helped SA in its liberation so we definitely owe them
It is important to show the story of the Palestinians to the world but more important than that is to make the Palestinian people aware of their rights and the bright future they can have without apartheid bc at the end of the day it is Palestinians that should fight for liberty.
Thank you for the great video!
When Palestinians fight for their liberty they are called Terrorists anyone who helps is sanctioned by Satan USA
I am a white Afrikaner. I'm particularly moved by what Jacob says about his grandparents and I wish I could apologise to him for centuries of "baasskap" because I don't think enough of us have actually said sorry.
You're a great person we need white poeple like you in this country going forward. May God bless you and your family.
Don't apologize for colonialism which is something all peoples are guilty of but apologize for apartheid which is the defining moment of White South Africans against Blacks/Brown peoples... you're just as much native to SA as any Black is... it's just certain ills that were done and Afrikaners aren't the cause of this... the British (those👿👿👿😈) are literally the ones who architected apartheid and polluted Afrikaners with their racism (apartheid is found only in British colonies such as the US/Australia/New Zealand/Canada/Palestine/Israel) this isn't a coincidence... the British owe all South Africans/Namibians/Batswana for causing the racial problems afflicting them today

Its weird how one land, with similar peoples can be so different from one side to another.
One side is prosperous and deals with hardships and natural disasters in a pragmatic, united way, and the other is governed by corrupt self-serving politicians who do not serve their people. I'm of course talking about the Dominican republic and Haiti.
This is exactly what is happening in South Africa too. This video is pure propaganda which ignores the facts and current causes of economic "apartheid" caused by the black elite government and its cronies.
Very similar to south Africa as they have great wealth disparity caused by a different elitist group in power.
I truly feel for Dominicans 🇩🇴 😢 who found themselves having to pay the price for France's mistakes/transgressions... no one deserves a fraction of what the Dominican Republic has been through and the world must be informed of all sides of the story before sympathizing with the so-called "poor Haiti" which committed numerous monstrosities against the DR which they are yet to account for but even acknowledge but instead the Haitians pride themselves in it and spit in the Dominicans' faces

Thank you for sharing.
"South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white!" Human dignity, the achievement of equality and the advancement of human rights and freedoms, non-racialism and non-sexism are all ideals built into the Constitution of South Africa.
This was the dream after the abolishment of the inhumane apartheid system, which should make everyone who voted for the white supremist NP( national party) feel remorseful - saddened by the ignorance born out of anxiety to be overpowered by a vast black majority and also determination to protect their European heritage and culture but more importantly, the hard fought for freedom - threatened by majority rule. The Afrikaner history will show severe hardship under British rule, which resulted in the uprise that lead to the Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902) during which 1000's of women and children died from starvation and disease in British concentration camps.
I would call Apartheid a desperate attempt of selfpreservation, but still condemn the system.
On various platforms today I have heard people of all races say, were our beloved Nelson Mandela alive today, he would not vote for the ANC. The minority white sector (7.3% of society) is being excluded, discriminated against in many sectors of public life - a reverse kind of apartheid and not condusive to a healthy society. Eg: BEE: Black economic powerment.
South Africans suffer under the rule of the democratically elected African National Congress (ANC) with corruption and double standards being the norm. South Africans have for decades been subjected to empty promises and repetetive idealistic rhetoric, using the narrative of past endurance under the apartheid system as a means of cohesion andñ influencing the voting population.
The expected upliftment through business opportunities only resulted in benefiting a selected minority: e.g. BEE (Black economic enpowerment) is a system whereby black business is favoured by the state, granting tenders to black- owned co's, excluding other races in South African society - exercising a control not on par with democratic law.
The ANC government, expected to be leading the previously disadvantaged people into a new future, is not leading by example with obvious self- enrichment and advancement of civil employees who are often incompetent and not always qualified for the positions they fill. Many thousands of black millionairs were created since the start of democracy in 1994, with the abolishment of the apartheid system and the institution of "one man one vote", whereby the vast majority of black voters, which constitutes 81.4% of the population, has kept the ANC in office as the ruling party until the present day.
This, while children in the country die from malnutrition and starvation.
SAM- severe acute malnutritian and starvation under children in SA - especially in the Eastern Cape.
Furthermore, privalent in South African society are: low levels of education, child head families, teenage pregnancies, high unemployment levels throughout the country (out of a population of over 60 million, 16.7 million people are out of work), which ultimately add to problems of alcohol and drug abuse and high crime levels. Domestic violence and violence against woman and children have become a scourge. With a mostly incompetent police force, people have to rely on private security providers - unaffordable by the vast majority of citizens. I believe the average South African to be good at heart with a strong conviction for freedom and justice, but appearances are often deceiving.
This was a fantastic video
We must not forget that apartheid South Africa and apartheid NAZIsrael cooperated in many sector : weapon manufacturing, nuclear weapon, spying, security, economy. No wonder this 2 racist oppressive colonial regimes look so alike.
the wealth gap is getting wider wider between settlers in South Africa and the native africans. The apartheid doesnt end. It needs full decolonization; reparation; and wealth redistribution.
Do you also refer to Americans and Australians as “settlers”? Calling white South Africans “settlers” is hate speech.
And if you actually knew what was happening in South Africa, you’d understand that it is the ruling ANC that is wrecking South Africa.
@@SirKaisonMost of what you said is true.... but let's not downplay apartheid's role in the current state of SA... the ANC aren't the only ones at fault here... much of what happened during apartheid continues to and will continue to plague SA as healing takes much longer to achieve than the healing of the wound
Thank you so much for what you’re doing for covering this vital material and the necessity of its dissemination. I find it fascinating and extremely enlightening. I am curious to know what the current mentality is of the current South African white population. And if you haven’t, perhaps you’ll consider speaking to some of the White residents to get an idea of what their mentality looks like today within relation to the rest of the South African population. Thank you.

Excellent video 👌🏾
There's quite a few inaccuracies here: When the Dutch arrived in 1652, there were probably only about a million people in the entire territory that would become SA. Thus a vast and 'empty' land with small pockets of habitation. There were no Xhosa speakers in the Cape, but Khoi herders and San hunter/gatherer peoples. My ancestor was a French religious refugee who was settled in the Cape by the VOC. My ancestors (European, Malay, Bengali and Khoi) had already been living in the Cape for more than a century before the first Xhosas started migrating into the Cape colony. So for the ex-MK to proclaim that the Cape was Black (Xhosa-speaking), is just a straight up lie. Also, after 3 centuries and 15 generations, I consider myself indigenous African. It serves the racist Black elite to refer to 'The Whites' as settlers and colonialists - You can't be either if you're naturally born here and they do it to turn us into perpetual 'foreigners' in the country of our birth.
Saying that SeaPoint is 99.9% White is also untrue. Maybe it was that way back in the 80s, but it's been a lot more diverse for ages! I suppose one can't spin good propaganda around the actual truth.
In other words white Americans, after living in America for more than 5 centuries, are now indigenous Americans as you call yourself "indigenous african " ?
So why the apartheid your white parents instituted a segregation where it was Cristal clear written on public Europeans vs Natives ( aka Africans )
I saw another post during apartheid where it was written : Beware of natives.
😂😂
The reporting lacks balance, with a clear attempt to blame white South Africans for all of the country's issues. The reporter didn't interview any white South Africans to include their perspective, which dehumanises the entire group. White South Africans were also constantly referred to as “they” in the video. Not cool.
How does re-opening these old wounds help alleviate poverty? Seriously. We all know who’s f*cking up South Africa in 2023 and it’s NOT “white” people.
The ANC fears nothing more than whites and blacks working together…
South Africans should never lose sight of the rainbow nation ideal. 🇿🇦
In the video, some interviewees express a desire for retribution, aiming to punish white South Africans for historical wrongs. As someone born after apartheid, the idea of being held accountable and punished for my ancestors' actions feels absurd and counterproductive.
@SirKaison I see. So why are contemporary German people still paying France and other countries H**tler destroyed 🤔? Should current Germans be accountable for the wrongs of their parents during H**tler regime ?
@SirKaison, it is unbelievable. All my comments are being deleted 🤣🤣
The healing always takes much longer than the wounding, and we still have a long way to go. I believe in the rainbow, but we need to grow up fast, and set an example for the world, under present circumstances. We all believe in, and will continue to strive towards one nation and equality for all our people. I personally pray for one united Holyland, for all its inhabitants, and for monotheists across the world. We have our small role to play in South Africa, but God's own country should set a greater example than us.
When our brothers and sisters are lost, we band together to find them, and bring them home, and when they've gone astray, we should band together to show them the way, and bring them back onto the path. 🙏🌎🕊️

The problem is that some new settler situation is brewing in cape town.
It takes more than 30 years to change a society and a larger group of people living standard after being oppressed for so long. It's not like the entire country was poor and came rich together.
Second- Mandela did an overall shit job. Freedom fighters should rule after wining. It's tends to always go bad.
He could have done so much more. The hard issues of land for example could have been forced more, so by 30 years things could have become stable.
SF needs a major change which is becoming harder and harder when the black elites have joined in the theft.
While I agree, it needs to be remembered that if SA had nationalised land, it would have come under American sanctions like Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
Previous revolutionary governments had been able to rely on the USSR as a trade partner to bypass the sanctions, but the USSR had just collapsed
The current white generation of SA is not to blame. One day African will be great. But mentality must change
Exactly. What is the point of blaming white South Africans for the past if they don’t have the power to change the present? It’s counterproductive. Beside the Western Cape, whites lack political power in South Africa.
The ANC fears nothing more than whites and blacks working together.
You’re not supposed to be there and the only reason you are is because of your barbaric ancestors , so LEAVE. You can’t heal a wound with the infection still hanging around.
Are they sharing the wealth and resources? If not, they are to blame.
True but mentality must change on both sides... plus apartheid's curse cannot be downplayed... it will continue to plague SA for generations to come... South Africans need to come together and talk to each other instead of building up hostilities towards each other and making generalizations about each other... SA was built by both Blacks and Whites (which created a new race representing both races) and need to respect each other and help each other because SA doesn't belong to just one group but all of its Native populations which includes Whites, Blacks and Brown peoples together
I never thought that i would live to see the struggle become real for the advantaged minority groups. NO groups will be able to avoid the burn of what is coming. Luckily for the disadvantaged majority we live the struggle and know how to make something out of nothing.❤ Very interesting times ahead.
What about the disadvantaged minority who is still disadvantaged now even though they are decendants of the original people of southern Africa?
Free Palestine from apartheid
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
@uncivilized I get a little confused with this with this story. If Palestine is being recognised as a state by other countries, how then are you saying that the West Bank / Ramallah is apartheid. When you fly to South Africa, what passport did you use, Palestinian or Israeli? I hope you are not offended by my question.
I strongly believe that one day, just like the black SouthAfricans, Palestinians will also be Free 🇵🇸✊🏼
Amandla ✊🏾🇿🇦 🇵🇸
Black South Africans have been free for 30 years. Their leaders have enriched themselves at the expense of the people who continue to live in abject poverty. Only those connected to government are wealthy. Especially the original first peoples (descendents of the khoisan) are marginalised now.
@@jonye7511You totally missed the point of this comment 😂
@@jonye7511 who are the descendants of Khoisan?
@@duchesstyra Pls dear help me to ask him😅
You are right. The Indian population has been precious. We had the honour of having Gandhi stay in SA first a few years. He loved it.
And exactly the same can hapen in Palestine. One state... and the jews have the money. But still better than today.
yes, this is exactly what's happening in palstein right now.
Were there black supreme court judges?
@@snoopcelev1590 no there is millitary court for Palestinian which is more harsher this
@@snoopcelev1590 tokenizing some palestinians is one of the smartest moves of Israel and it's deliberate you can read about it in plan dalet they always planned on letting 20% of the rich Palestinians to live in between them
The South African government should spend more time complaining about Israel and less time fixing the electricity.
Your channel is Gold 💛
Fre free palestine
From Hamas and toxic religious fanaticism.

The best video I've seen on TH-cam in years. Thank you
Wellt the calling of young kids master and madame is also a thing in latin america, seniorito/a.
Great video

Can't compare Israel/Palestine to South Africa. The Jews are the original people of Israel. In fact, Israel is the only country in the world which inhabits the same land, speaks the same language, has the same capital and worships the same God as they did 3000 years ago.
How I Pray your guides could all, where necessary, be HEALED of the 'bad' which was experienced in varied degrees and circumstances, across all races in this country. As are worse scenarios now escalating in other counties! There are many millions of us who stood together for a NEW SOUTH AFRICA and will continue to do by the Grace of GOD - despite betrayal of those we trusted to govern us - the Judas faction whose purpose has a history of self seeking despite the immeasurable cost to THE PEOPLE of our country. Their recent 'history' is as detrimental to the well being of our citizens as was that which many of us stood against under 'apartheid'! Do not use propoganda of ill intent to further foreign agendas against the God fearing people of our beautiful land. It is filled with the nicest and kindest, heart worthy intelligent, peace loving, 'ordinary' people, many in exceptionally difficult circumstances. Thankfully there still are such decent people in many other places in the World.
Do not make a mockery of TRUE 'freedom fighters'. They were and are NOT terrorists. TRUE Freedom Fighters use 'weapons' of another order. Those are invincible.
So sad that during a visit here the 'investigation' itiniary seems not to have included time to enable meeting many, if any?! Be fully aware and seek the Alive and Well Spirit of our country's REAL people who are from among all 'races' of our united South Africa. Those are not prepped or fuelled by hateful indoctrination from their varied past 'histories' of one sort or another (as some were then too, to the detriment of our country!) despite the endeavours of manipulators with foreign agendas. Those agendas are as obvious as the Writing on the Wall - and that Writing is a warning 'To Them.'
❤
I find it surreal that two Black Nguni man standing on District Six claiming our ancestors as theirs and ignoring Coloured struggle in our city and our homeland to a Palestinian. Talking about erasure and colonisation. It's kind of weird.
Not a full picture. No interview with any Khoisan - the true indigenous people of South Africa. In the same way, the Arabs are not the true indigenous people of Northern Africa - the Copts of Egypt, the Berbers of Algeria, Libya, and Morrocco were there long before the Arabs invaded and colonized those lands. The Japanese are not the true imdigenous people of of Japan - the Ainu are the true indigenous people of Japan.
How Israel is an Apartheid exactly?
There are 2 million Arab Muslims live in Israel with FULL EQUAL RIGHTS.
The other Palestinians live in Gaza and Judea and Sameria are living under Palestinian authorities, not Israelis.
Now you can maybe say they’re not allowed to travel freely to Israel. Well, this is because some of them choose terror and Israel doesn’t want to let them in. Now you can say they are stuck in this places and cant go anywhere. Well, this video shows Palestinian who travel abroad. Amazing.
The jews (unlike white africans) has really strong claim for this land and there are million evidences spread along this land to prove it
You are delusional if you think non Jews live with equal rights in Israel. What strong claim? Some book written by a white man? 90% of Israelis are from Eastern Europe
@@TheBoneruner "90% of Israelis are from Eastern Europe" - NO! Almost half of the jews in Israel are from the ME > "A 2018 statistic found that 45% of Jewish Israelis identified as either Mizrahi or Sephardic.[15]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews
The Palestinians to which Salem belongs to are not exempted from racism to my utmost surprise! I meet some Palestinians with their Arap brothers who tend to be just as racist towards blacks as the Israelis are towards them so, please save us the ordeal and deal with the Israeli racism with your fellow Arap brothers as well.
Talkig out of your ars of course, we have whole Arab nations of consist of blacks! many Arab nations who have over 60% blacks all same rights we even have black sheikhs... so you spare yourself the humiliation and lies!
Firstly, that doesn't justify the colonialism, oppression, occupation, and apartheid by Israel against Palestinians. Secondly, I've never met a Palestinian who is racist, there are dickheads from every nation and I'm sure there are some Palestinians who are racist, just like how some South Africans are xenophobic towards Somali, Ethiopian and Nigerian immigrants in South Africa. That doesn't change the fact that all nations deserve freedom and self determination.
Most well read people know this but the producer of this video ignores that fact. Who is "adeeb" ?
The difference I see is that Palestine & Israel are two different countries. South Africa is only South Africa
Except the very point is that SA made the same false claim about the Bantustans.
@@garethmartin6522 My observation was more on where the apartheid term doesn't fully capture Palestine's plight as they have a separate country and a (fully Palestinian) government already.
Your comment was to do with similarities in the SA-Isrseli rhetoric (I believe)
@@AdvocateSpirit But they do NOT have an independent government at all, because it is controlled by Israel.
They do have a huge common factor. The Same COLONIZER. And during apartheid years, Palestine aoded south Africa despite itself being under occupation. I get your point though.
@@zahedamohameds8359 Is the coloniser Britain? I know they were in both lands (all lands to be honest)
The apartheid period lasted 46 years, in 1994 apartheid ended, it's 30 years down the line but didn't hear where and how South Africa has progressed over this period and how life has now improved for those that were oppressed
Electrification:
1987: 30%
2023: over 94%
Labour dependency ratio:
1994: 380
2019: 251
For every shack built post 94, 10 formal houses have been built.
In 1998: 340 people dependent on every nurse.
In 2019: 194 people dependent on every nurse.
In 1991: 44 white engineering graduates for every ONE black one. Today there are twice as many black engineering graduates as white ones (white number having grown too.)
In 1990 HALF the urban population was in slum.
In 2019 it's down to 20% of the urban population(despite massive urbanization and mass-migration over the last 30 years.)
In 2023 8% of the country's OVERALL population (both internal & foreign migrants) lived in informal shack dwellings.
In 2001 18% of the SA population was in multi-dimensional poverty.
In 2019 6% were multi-dimensionally poor.

_On the other hand a sluggish and corrupt government, which has been performing exceedingly badly over the last decade._
@@agrid2608 Electrification
At the end of 1994 Eskom had total assets of R47. 4 billion, revenue for the year was R15. 4 billion and net income was R2. 3 billion
At the end of 2023 Eskom had total assets of R827 billion, revenue for the year was R204 billion and net loss was R20 billion, net debt R423 billion
Unemployment
South Africa is not just in the top five highest unemployment rates globally, its sitting at number one, at 33%
Public Healthcare
There is a private and public healthcare system, public healthcare is managed by government and funded by taxpayers. There was no lack of funds, yet public healthcare is beyond broken. There is no way to articulate public healthcare decay, its best to check into a “facility” and experience it personally.
Education System
According to the OECD, South Africa's education system ranks 75th out of 76 mainly rich countries. 27% of students who have attended school for 6 years cannot read. After 5 years of school only about half can figure out that 24 divided by 3= 8.
South Africa’s maths and science education has again been shown to be among the worst in the world - second last - according to the largest ever global school rankings.
Municipalities
Of the 257 municipalities in South Africa, a full 66 have been declared dysfunctional by the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta). Treasury cautioned that 151 municipalities are on the brink of collapse.
State Owned Enterprise
Please articulate the financial health and managment of these couple state owned enterprises.
• South African Airways
• Denel
• South African post office
• South Africa Broadcasting Corporation
• Transnet
• Eskom
Corruption
Corruption and international perceptions of corruption in South Africa has been damaging to the country’s reputation and has created obstacles to local and foreign direct investment, flows to the stock market, global competitiveness, economic growth and has ultimately distorted the development and upliftment of its people, this is not limited to the last decade, its far deeper than that.
There are SOUTH Africans of all color, culture and language, are trying to put the past behind and learn to live together. Im Cape Town we see many getting along. There are those that continue to have a victim mentality. Parents are the ones who can change of course of these conflicts by encouraging their children to respect others that are different to them. None is perfect and all the decorations are different but the cake is still the same underneath. We all have challenges and tragedies and supporting and encouraging one one, being empathic goes a long way to bring hope and healing to wounded hearts.
Finally a south african with common sense
I am also tired of this. It clear the ANC failed us just as the previous government. This black lives matter mentality does not fly in South Africa. I really dont feel white people are out to get me. As much as prejudices exist. Our problem is corruption not racism.
Still dreaming.
Victim mentality? Who has the victim mentality?! The white colonizers right?
True..
True. I was so glad in 1994 when BLACK AFRICANS could take over SA, like happened in Zimbabwe. Now 2024, these 2 countries have grown (?), no stealing of fumds for housing (?), no corruption (?), yes????
Apartheid is very well alive in the USA as well. In most metro areas it’s very visible.
😂😂😂😂
The President of SA need to fight first to liberate the native South Africans before the ICJ
Lots of holes in this documentary.
