The memories just flood in. The adverts just take me back to simpler times 😱

[@write123wright2]

These kind of clips are so vital to the high school history learners. Is it expensive to organizations such as the SABC to keep such records?

[@rahmehomevideos]

I wish they'd digitise and release their archives. Tried to contact them many times during the 2000s and 2010s but never got a reply. So it looks like we're stuck with whatever small bits people like us can find on old VHS cassettes :(

I enjoyed this. Nostalgia. 😍

[@damonblade3195]

When the news was at least halfway accurate

[@jonnyOysters]

Super interesting. I was only between the ages of 3/4 in 1997. So I was into everything but news at the time lol But It's quite fascinating to go back and see how much has changed and not changed.

[@napomotshumi8905]

Do you have any old home videos from SABC 1

[@rahmehomevideos]

Not much, just bits that are left over on the end of home video cassettes... but will be uploading anything else I find!

[@caseclosed9342]

Didn’t know about that North Korean guy shot….

[@debeerpaul]

Ah the heydays of the Arms deal.
