I went south africa to visit my sister and we went on road trip from Johannesburg to Pretoria and from Pretoria 700 km drive to semi village where my sister works as a doctor in a hospital located there, i was blown away by the infrastructure. That was the first time i enjoyed road trip. I usually get sick.
That sounds like an incredible experience! South Africa's landscapes and infrastructure can be truly breathtaking. It's great to hear that you had an enjoyable road trip, especially considering your usual motion sickness. Exploring new places with loved ones can be so memorable! 🌄🚗
14:06 The bunny chow is a dish that originated from the Indian community in SA. As far as I know it's made from a quarter loaf of bread hollowed out and filled with curry and was popular among migrant workers as an easy lunch option.. Is popular with everyone now.
OH I didn't know this day will come- really really reccomend to watch other videos of theirs - I was trying by the way to learn to pronounce the Clicks in Xhosa- so far the letter Q is pretty difficult 😄I am weirdly instantly interested in South Africa after watching Trevor Noah
Hey guys, Very informative and well done information about South Africa. Beautiful people and the landscape of the nation is something unique worth visiting the country. Thanks,
Load shedding, which refers to the intentional shutdown of electricity supply to certain areas during periods of high demand or low supply, can indeed vary in duration. In some cases, it may last for 2 to 3 hours, as you mentioned. However, during more severe energy crises or unforeseen circumstances, it's possible for load shedding to extend beyond that timeframe. The duration and frequency of load shedding depend on the energy demand and supply situation in a particular region or country.
there's never been no load shedding that lasted from 6 am to 2 pm. If you dont have power for more than 4 hours chances are there's a mechanical problem somewhere.
Speaking as a Namibian/South African, this travelogue is astounding, virtually flawless. There are only 3 points which could be fleshed out: (a) Indian people were 'imported' to South Africa as indentured labourers from 1860 onwards. This history is tragic and those who suffered it should be honoured by mentioning the starting point. Ghandi lived in South Africa from 1893 until 1914 and formed the first Indian political organisation, the Natal Indian Congress (NIC). (b) The people self-identifying as Coloured are more than 'a mixture of Black and White'. The lines of descent (Extensive ethnic diversity was alluded to subsequently in the video.) are Khoisan, European/White, African and Asian or more specifically, with regard to the Western Cape, colloquially referred to as 'Malayan' but meaning Indonesian. (c) The Afrikaans language contains several Indonesian words. The Muslim people in the Cape Coloured Community, formerly known as Cape Malays, use many Indonesian words and phrases. So, although Indonesian is no longer a spoken language, what remains of it will never die out. (Perhaps I'm biased but to me, albeit largely depleted, this is more an indication of linguistic survival rather than something which is dying out.) Regrettably, I have to end off on a rather unkind note: It's better when presenters make pauses for interjections, rather than maintaining a running commentary, 'speaking over' the video they're showing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the outro! 😄 If you have any other feedback or requests, feel free to share them. I'm here to assist and make your experience enjoyable! 🎉
Africa didn't have boarders before colonization. So it baffles me how they say the Bantu population isn't "native" to South Africa just because they apparently came from the North 🤔 it's not like they came from the middle east. Anyways. Great reaction as always. Can't wait for you guys to visit the country 💓
The Bantu Migration Theory is nothing but a theory, one that is inconclusive. So inconclusive that it heavily relies on linguistic mapping of Africa which itself is inaccurate. Native South Africans are an hybrid of hunter-gatherer, pastoralists and agro-pastoralist people.
That's fascinating! It's wonderful to see how the national teams are named after significant symbols of the country. The Springboks and the Proteas are both meaningful and represent South Africa's rich culture and natural beauty. 🇿🇦🏉🏏
January and February is the best time to come visit…if you have limited time…just simply visit Cape Town and explore as much as you possibly can in your short time. There are many beautiful places to stay when on vacation but my recommendation as a top level medium would be Green Point. If you search for it on a map you will see that it is one of the best locations to spend a vacation as everything is within walking distance or a very short Uber trip to most popular spots in and around the Atlantic Seaboard.
Thank you for the fantastic tips! January and February do sound like ideal months to visit. Exploring Cape Town and staying in Green Point seems like a great idea, given its convenient location and proximity to popular spots. I'll definitely consider your recommendation when planning my trip! 🌞🏖️
@@royalreactionaryYes. From December to Feb is when we have summer and our beaches are world class (Im not bragging). And it is festive season and new year season so many activities can be enjoyed.
South Africa got independence in 1910 but it was under white minority rule where black South Africans were being segregated, in 1994 is when South Africa got black majority rule
Yes correct I read it more after this video. You are absolutely right. South Africa gained independence in 1910, but for much of its history, it was under a system of white minority rule known as apartheid. Apartheid enforced racial segregation and discrimination, oppressing black South Africans and denying them basic rights and freedoms. The apartheid era officially ended in 1994 when South Africa held its first democratic elections, leading to the establishment of a black majority government under the leadership of Nelson Mandela. This marked a crucial turning point in the nation's history, as it began a new era of democracy and equality for all South Africans. 🇿🇦✊🏽
I love, love love being South African, Cape Coloured.....and live in the most beautiful city in the world....Thank you guys for showing my country by the way I love India....I'm a Bollywood die hard fan.
Here is a fun fact the Afrikaans language is the youngest language in the world only 150 years old and also only spoken by only 7 till 10 million people 🙂.
18:40 when the Dutch East India Company set up shop in South Africa, they started a slave trade into the Cape Colony. Coloured people of today are basically descendants of these enslaved people and the Indigenous people the Dutch persecuted and put to work on their farms. At least a quarter of all the enslaved people brought to South Africa by the Dutch were South Asian- especially from Bengal and South India. Almost 30% were from East Africa, another 25% from Madagascar and around 20% from Indonesia. They just skipped over that 200 or so years of South African history in this video.
JSE is buzzing with activity. Right now, things are bad because of loadshedding and the politics of Russia SA relations and US disapproval of our hand-off approach to Ukraine war. There's another stock exchange in Cape Town. Lookup AltX.. its like the Nasdaq I'm certainly invested in the JSE. Try EasyEquities without broker
It's essential to acknowledge the historical context you mentioned. During the colonial era, many Indians were brought to South Africa as indentured laborers to work on sugar plantations and in other industries. Their living and working conditions were often harsh and exploitative.
Aare punjabi bhai aur behen. I sm mallu but South African. I am in my mid 50s but lived in India. Bhai aur behen, how come you speak so indian but l8ve in the UK? I too lived there..and visited. You in South Hall? There I heard only Punjabi

The national rugby team is called the Springboks, and the national cricket team is called the Proteas, after the national flower.
Just wanna say our rugby team is No 1 from winning 4 world cups

Loadshedding is usually 2 to 3 hours no more than that.

White people don't read history, because it paints them very dirty.. they write history. They make it up as they go

@@teejaymclegend There is no inaccuracy in linguistic mapping and what about archaeological and genetic mapping?? (Ref Wikipedia for reading lists)

Leon Schuster has very funny movies too. Very comedic. Many of us grew up watching him👍🏽

The Indians were cheap labour on the sugar plantations... Gandhi went to protest in Durban for better human rights...
