@@i-vlog1994 It's almost like blaming somebody for the actions of another person is wrong, fullstop.
That also goes for blaming all White South Africans for Apartheid.
And anyway, it's definitely not White South Africans making hell for the Black people there right now.
And if White people DO leave or all get killed in South Africa, mark my words that De Beers WILL leave and so will a lot of other industry.
It will become Zimbabwe.
Winston, do you see parallels between the ANC types in Johanesberg and the "leadership" in big "D" cities like Flint and Detroit here in the U.S?
Winston, if you start a gofundme to get your parents out I'd gladly contribute.

"they didn't know how a revolver works" reminds me of the story of Rhodesian soldiers finding FALs with iron sights set to 1000m because their users thought it would "shoot harder".

I keep hearing stories of people holding the mag and shooting full auto to hit something 50+m away...
Maybe, we should supply them with sensitive explosives. LOL.
I remember reading about that. Turn it up to 11!
I'm surprised they knew how to adjust the sights
Same thing happened with the AK’s in the Middle East lol. And I don’t remember what force it was that got ahold of m16s/m4s but they held the forward assist down to get more accuracy when in reality it was grinding down the bolt carrier
I visited Joburg a couple years ago. The day after I arrived, I decided to go for a stroll around the neighborhood. I remember thinking it was odd that there were so many barbed wire fences in an otherwise pristine and normal looking neighborhood. I thought "hmm must be remnants of pre-apartheid days". Then I noticed that I literally had not seen another person traveling on foot for the past 45 minutes that I had been walking. At that point, I started to feel uneasy. But my naive self just thought, "maybe people just dont like to walk around here". I eventually got to a cemetery and wanted to walk around inside (I have a weird fascination with cemeteries), but the person at the front wouldn't let me wander without a guard escort. He said there were bandits who liked to hang around near the back. In hindsight I feel like I was lucky to have returned home unscathed.
Bro..
Work on your situational awareness.
@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 lol...yeah i def should.
Same thing,I used to walk around Rondabosch CT in my naivety thinking this is a nice area and wondering why every house had 7ft spiked walls and heavy-duty electric gates,apparently house break-ins are very common and in a lot of cases involve rape and murder.
I have to tell you, there is nothing better than taking a stroll in places you dont usually go, even if it's dangerous, you always have a story to tell, ahahaha.
1 month later... are you still living there? Anything happen? Updates?
I can’t imagine the raw rage I would feel if my mother was ever subjected to what you’ve described. Any amount of fear I would have would be drowned out by sheer rage.
Yup, she's not even my mom and my blood is ready.

Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

Does your brain only operate in twos or are you able to understand that one situation being less horrible than the other doesn't equate to the first being a "good" situation. There IS severity involved. There can also be other options as opposed to the two presented.
You people really need to work on your logic. It's embarrassing how primitive your reasoning skills are.
Every white South African I know, including myself, has an "I escaped being murdered" story 😢
Well, there's also a lot of black people that got murdered by white people in South Africa. Just saying.
ah yes the TOLERANT communist africans !!!
I'm born and raised Chicago west sider, white. I have quite a few of this type story. In fact, I was so used to massive danger I left Chicago and became a war zone resident first in Central America and then the Mid East, because it seemed safer. I followed those years up with 17 years in the US Army Infantry, which also seemed quite safe compared to my city of birth.
It's just sad to think of all the ones who we don't even know because they weren't so lucky. Such a travesty.
except those who didn't escape...
I never get tired of hearing this story and I often come back just to watch it. My mom grew up in Mozambique and Malawi and she heard of things like this occuring to other Portuguese people. I have yet to visit Africa, really do want to go one day but stories like this and others always keep me very wary. Thank god your dad is such a badass and that Napoleon was around.
I'm glad to hear you're trying to help your parents get out of South Africa. Every day they're risking their lives.

Living in South Africa, you always have to be on your guard, no matter where you are or what you're doing. I rarely go out alone as a woman because I just feel unsafe. Here, it's common to invest in firearms for self-defense, but there has been stories of the government wanting to change the law to prohibit firearms for the purpose of self-defense... Nothing makes any sense anymore. Can't wait to get out after I finish my studies.
I would fucking swim to Europe if I lived there. Fuck that. I can't imagine imagine being a white woman there
dont wait to finish your studies, get out ASAP. Your life is more important than school
Your colonizer go back to uk South Africa is for black people enough colonization
if you relax then you pay the tax
@@alpark3024 well, I wouldn't say that. You don't know her situation. To me, it sounds like it's unsafe, but if she's almost done with her study, it wouldn't make sense to waste all of the time and money she put into it if it's not so dangerous that she hasn't been harassed sexually many times. Just likely enough for her to want her to leave. However, I don't know either.
I’ve lived in South Africa and I’ve got plenty of stories of escaping and observing death. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in Joburg or Capetown the danger is very real.
I am from Germany and after all you have told I really cannot imagine how people can live with all this constant fear and danger. It is just unbelievable to me.
As South Africans we have normalised it all and adapted to be on constant high alert. We live behind bars and gates and walk with panic buttons and some guns. We do not carry handbags unnecessarily and keep our cell phones out of public eye. We shut all windows and doors by sunset and are in constant communication with family if we leave home. We don’t trust anyone that is black walking down our road after a certain time. Even my black neighbours don’t trust these Tsotsis or mparaparas. They will kill you for a cigarette!
You and all of Europe will be dealing with the same within a few decades if you don't stop the never-ending flow of mass immigration. You combine that with the unhinged racial politics...... this will not end well.
Germany is not as safe as it once was. The third world migrants are also a problem in Germany.
You'll be living the same way soon
With the millions of Africans being granted asylum in Germany you will be feeling it soon
I lived in Randburg, Johannesburg until 2001 in exactly the way you described: 2 meter walls, electric fences, 24 hour security, iron bars, spiked fences, the lot. However the ultimate security measure was to simply pack up and leave. Haven't been back in 20 years....
I tried go and had a failed immigration and landed back in Joburg with no money and only my handbag.
I was almost killed in SA as a baby, thankfully my father managed to escape the boot of a car. I'm happy to be in the UK now.
I know loads of white South Africans in the UK, their stories are very similar to Winston’s, or know people who have experienced it. Glad you’re out. My SA neighbours have just got UK citizenship
Yes I know lots as well. Whites are targeted so heavily and the gov doesn’t protect them anymore. Very dangerous place for whites
It’s crazy cuz media is completely quiet about this
Your father is a ninja 🥷
Well youre very welcome here and I'm glad you're safe 🙏
I currently have a dog who has protected me from an attacker and probably saved my life. She gave me the essential moments I needed to gather my wits (and gun) to defend myself. The guy she rushed will never have the same use of his right hand again, which subsequently played a role in later apprehending the mislead youth that broke in. I will never have a companion that I value as much as her. She’s more on guard than ever now that we’ve got kids running around that she loves. Dogs are incredible, we are very lucky to have evolved with them the way we have and to be given such loyalty. Glad Napoleon was there, and hope he was spoiled until his finale moment.
I grew up in South Africa (Born 1973, left thanks to my father taking us to Australia in 1984
My wife and also lived in RSA for 42 years and managed to move to Melbourne where our kids live. Best move ever, like being in a different universe. Suggest your parents try and move, will cost them and as above will take over 4 years. With his gardening knowledge he could easily star an gardening business, as I did. Good luck to them and happy to give any advice. Peter
Zimbabwe also, it was like the writing on the wall
My family moved to Zambia when I was a little girl. My father was responsible for building residential schools for the UN. He had to leave the country when his mother died. Our guard tricked my Mom one night, and the power to our home was cut and they attacked us. We survived, although my mom never fully recovered from the emotional trauma.
Where in Zambia did you have that experience? We don't have high crime rate problem in Zambia.
Was the attack in SA
@@mwanakaaba1721 The attack wasn't in Zambia as the story suggests
Very sad to hear about this happening to your family. Back then it was not known, as European people were misinformed by leftist leaning propagandists' mumbo jumbo hakuna matata when in reality is can be a dangerous place. Not all countries, not all regions, but a considerable part of the continent is like that so one has to be well informed. I would never bring wife or kids in any African country, there is too much danger. These societies are "under construction" so there where all is quiet and peaceful can see a sudden eruption of extreme violence. In Africa only European men of higher testosterone levels and right wing political views can survive - those who treat the locals with "distant respect" and from a superiority position, these are the ones respected by the locals. The rest will be eaten alive. In most African cultures there are no "equal relations", you are either on top or to the bottom. So as a European man since I am the most responsible I'd rather be on top than be to the bottom having to deal with irresponsible men and criminals.
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 how would you know?
As a fellow South African, I can tell you we go through ALOT when it comes to crime. It's so common that we almost normalize it when we talk about it.
Well as an American who can read demographic statistics in my own country I can see why everything is so bad over there. Hopefully we can awaken to the bleak reality that is to come.

As a white male native of Detroit, Michigan, I can related to your experiences to a certain degree. Even Detroit hasn't yet reached the level of anarchy and chaos seen in SA, but the violence and culture still changes you.
I started carrying a pistol before I was even legally allowed to, and as soon as I turned 21 I attained a license to carry. I take my gun to bed and place it on the counter when I'm in the bathroom. I wore body armor in some places, and I wasn't even associating with criminals; I was attempting to become a police officer. You adopt new behaviors, such as looking over your shoulder every few seconds, walking in well-lit areas, parking so that your vehicle faces the street so that you can escape easier, and using your environment to help you. I would refuel my car while watching the windows to see the reflection of anyone sneaking up behind me. Same with shadows in the daylight.
Also, in Detroit it was, and probably still is, common for black residents to "punk" white people, and you often have to not show fear or they would attempt to rob or hurt you. I once had to stand in front of a muscular black man who looked like Terry Crews. He was a head taller than me and wouldn't let me enter a store after my black friend went inside first. I had to demand he move so that I could enter. He smirked and moved aside because I didn't show fear, even though I certainly felt it.
Even today, when I travel to very safe places, small towns where family live, I cannot let my guard down. People will ask why I'm looking over my shoulder when walking near a vacant field, why I back my car into parking spots and under light poles, even when no one else is around, or why I never sit down with my back facing the door; it's a part of me.
Is "around blacks, don't relax" a global slogan?
@@bellinghammond as an oakland california native, absolutely.
You make it seem as if “black residents” aren’t commonly harassed by the same demographic you mentioned. Whites are victims in inner cities but to claim your experience is unique as a “white man” in Detroit is unhinged and I can tell you have many racial biases you gotta work out!
@@bellinghammondNo. In saner countries in Asia it's still "No Blacks Allowed"
Dude what are you even saying you just sound like you’re trying to equate yourself to Winston to sound tough. You sound like a person with a weak personal identity and your trying to take Detoits reputation to sound special. I don’t even believe you are from here. I’ve lived here my whole life and never owned a gun and most people don’t. Mayor Duggan is white and is popular because he was a political outsider who isn’t corrupt unlike most mayors of the past 50 years. He managed the city through a bankruptcy which cleared its debts not on the backs of residents or pensioners. He put money from the budget surpluses back into city services and had a friendly state and federal government partnership to get big projects financing aid and tax breaks. Crime hit a 50 year low in 2017, there’s new business downtown and in the neighborhoods, new streets lights, garbage pickup on time, schools have been reformed works in progress better. There’s a reason why all of the cities with the top murder rates in 2021 are cities from the south or border states it takes good governance from local, regional, state & federal to address systemic problems. Bad governance in America hides behind populist rhetoric it uses race and culture wars as tools so greedy politicians right and left can run corrupt governments and blame it on the other. Bad governance combined with systematic lack of opportunity breeds crime. I grew up in Oakland County until the .com bust of 2000 I lived in the second richest county in America. Most auto manufacturing jobs were outsourced but the white collar jobs running the companies remained and so did all the STEM jobs required for automated manufacturing and upgrading car’s computer systems grew. There was a boom in the 90’s in downtown and the burbs called automation alley. Getting back to bad governance American manufacturing lost out during the Cold War in part to a political strategy employed by the U.S. to fight communism. Countries like Japan and West Germany and any U.S. ally were allowed free and unfettered access to the American market for their products. If they made good products at a competitive rate the nation’s middle class boomed, Japan and to a lesser extent of impact South Korea didn’t reciprocate with free and unfettered access to their markets for US industrial products. US industry was arrogant and lost out to foreign competitors that we’re playing for real against the established giants but currency manipulation and protectionism gave Japan and countries that used the same model an unfair advantage. This coincided with a change in power in the US financial system during the 80s where junk bonds were used to finance takeovers of US & British industry where parts of the companies that weren’t making money were cut like r&d or workers benefits. As were jobs in the US because a change to stock price driven model of operation made huge profits for the financial sector those who have become known as venture capitalists now. I’ve vastly oversimplified and haven’t even gotten to China yet however having a sustainable economy with strong fundamentals is important and it’s something that the west has been outsourcing to our detriment. China was allowed to join the western sphere of influence and despite the best efforts of the CCP a market economy independent of the state was established. Outsourcing our manufacturing to China was the end of a long road of missteps with many shades of nuance and good and greedy intentions, transforming China by engaging in free trade for example. The results at home of trying to just ride the US consumer market ie the greatest economic engine in history didn’t bring any new money into the game domestically for the middle class. The same thinking that said we can keep building sprawling suburbs with no consequences for the region as a whole and it will be an economic driver was extrapolated and used at a greater scale with subprime lending, junk bonds for you average Joe. This kind of bubble economics we see it at its most extreme in China but it’s practiced here in the US too. There’s a lot of people who got screwed whose family was middle class and they followed the right path and found themselves and their city and state in an economic downward spiral. The feeling of neglect and mismanagement which unfairly for those who use it now in populist politics (although it takes generations to undo generations of harm) did start to change after the Great Recession. I’m even more encouraged now that China and Russia have showed their hand with Covid hording and the war in Ukraine’s economic blackmail the importance of having domestic supply chains is now a huge priority. But a lot of damage has been done and the electoral system especially gerrymandering puts the extremes of both parties forward because the parties design their districts. I’ve been extremely pleased with the results of the 2022 elections in Michigan and Arizona where Gerrymandering was banned by ballot initiatives in 2020 the most radical candidates lost and those in power have to appeal to the middle to win and stay in power. That means more common ground for making policy decisions and is an important step toward deescalating the polarization of politics.
Bro, I grew up in SA and you reminded me of many events that my family and friend experienced. My Brother is still there and it's shocking to hear some of the new statistics, esp robbers\murderers actively choosing to enter homes on a sunday afternoon so that they KNOW everyone is home. A very chilling difference in strategy.
God bless your brother to get safely out of that benighted place in Jesus' Holy Name, Amen!
Hope he has a yard full of BoerBoels mate.
I cannot imagine the feeling of working with a crew you KNOW would murder you instantly if they had the chance. Fucking hell I get why so many people are leaving SA.
Most house invasions, and consequent murders and rapes, are inside jobs in South Africa. People working for a household, or who know the family, usually are the ones that organise the robberies and murders. There were some individuals that relayed the information who did alot of the independent investigations a couple of years ago. They basically conveyed that it is not a good idea to hire anyone that works at or close to your home. Essentially you cannot trust anyone. Even the people you help to feed their own families, tend to be the ones who at a drop of a hat, would have you and your children murdered for your phone... Alot of it seems strange to people in well functioning countries, but it truly is the norm in South Africa. And the South African government works very hard to hide its horrendous track record from the world. Especially with independent groups like the IRR having found that more than 80% of all ANC government officials, have been implicated in some form of corruption. It truly is a disturbing and disgusting organisation. Mandela was the exception, not the rule.

It's yet another "leftist" success story! I really enjoyed my time living in RSA (Joburg). One thing that I noticed, was that it would/could be quite easy to convince yourself that there was actually very little risk to your person. Everybody came across as so friendly and approachable. I always had a memory of my time visiting Zimbabwean pals from University in Harare, a guy that was the brother of a friend (a Shona Zimbabwean chap) told me about his time working in RSA. He used to go to a bar after work and really enjoyed spending the night there but was advised by one of his workmates, that he should always leave the bar by 8pm. After several weeks of leaving at 8pm, he decided to ignore the advice and stay later, it was at that point he noticed a different crowd were in the bar. At one point in the night, there was an altercation and one guy had the shit beaten out of him, he was then put on his knees and a gun was put his head. For some reason, the gun continually misfired. My friends brother never went back to that bar again and said that it was so easy to convince yourself that things were fine.
re 1st 6 lines - the wh ppl voted for bl rule as they put avoiding rcsm top in priority, so they got what they voted for
My family escaped South Africa. We were smuggled out of the country...my mother, my brother and I. I remember being hidden under a blanket in a car, then on the plane we were loaded before the passengers and hidden throughout the flight. I will always be grateful to the people who put their lives on the line to save a white woman and her two children (I was one of the children). To the staff of the airline (I won' mention which) they saved my life and the lives of my mother and brother. We owe our lives to them and I think about them all the time and all the people that set up that network to get us out. Even the ones that were bribed to be human and do the right thing.
To a small child of 10 with an overactive imagination it was an adventure, looking back though, I am sure that it must have been terrifying to my mother.
Without going into too much detail we escaped and fled up Africa and ended up in Bahrain to be reunited with my father that my mother had been estranged from.
South Africa was always 'dog eat dog'. So incredibly beautiful, but so cruel and brutal. As a child, almost lost my life twice there. Sometimes I think that I was incredibly protected by some divine force, because I 'should' have been dead. I learned about racism, I learned that because I was white, there were those who would kill me, even though I was child.
we definitely need more details

@@NDKY67 Wrong, whatever you experience in Peru was in Peru and not the other 11 South American countries for you to title it as such .. Why put a continent in a negative light just because you had a bad experience in one country. Your title will discourage people who want to travel to that part of the world..

Hey Winston, I’m Cape Town born but lived my teen years in Rhodesia. It was the norm for families to have male African staff usually living on the property and I got on well with our staff so much so that I would share their pap and yama with them. They told me how they would get given all the luxuries that white people had when the government changed. When I asked how they were going to pay for all these luxuries they looked at me in bewilderment because whites didn’t have to pay! If they wanted water they turned on the tap and if they wanted light the turned on a switch. The didn’t believe me when I told them that these services were not free until I showed them the monthly bills. Still, they believed the promises made by the political leaders and look where it led them.
Typical story. Greed, stupidity and evil leads to the persecution of the whites and the poverty of everybody else

That is the same something for nothing mentality is resulting in a Tsunami of Africa arriving in the U.K. Give me.
We lived in Midrand in Johannesburg on a plot (large piece of land) not far from where you lived I'm assuming. My dad's an electrician and the guys that worked for him had our house broken into while we were away one weekend in 2002. The dogs were poisoned (they survived) and they stole all the vehicles he used for his business and loaded them up with all our belongings, even the curtains were taken.
We found out it was an inside job so my dad fired all of his workers and told them if they ever returned he would kill them. The guy actually got a gun and wanted to come and shoot my dad the day on which he gave them their severance pay but one of the other employees tipped my dad off and it was prevented. What was telling was that only one guy came back asking my dad if he could stay and he said he had nothing to do with the crime. He still works for my dad. No one was ever caught for the crime
It turned out the guys had been using the petrol cards and the company vehicles to run their own electrical businesses over weekends as well. My dad's business went bankrupt and we had to sell our house due to financial reasons and the fact that there were gunshots nearly every night from break-ins all around our neighborhood.
Sucks to hear that. What a bunch of assholes
Sounds horrific 😮
Apartheid is essential in Africa.
Damn that sad. At least one worker was honest.

I met an older man from South Africa in the small town I grew up in, in Eastern Washington.
He owned a small laundromat so I’d ended getting to know him fairly well.
He had some crazy stories of his own to tell.
He saw the writing on the wall early on after the ANC took over and got the hell out.
I’m looking forward to hearing your father’s adventures!
If ever I've heard a story of divine intervention, it is the events of this home invasion, from your mum insisting you go to school, to the gun not firing, to your dad coming home and deciding not to go inside immediately and always going around a corner and so evading the gun men.

No mainstream medias talking about SA here in the UK so thanks to you Serpentza , we know what's going on which is quite horrendous.
Aye it's shocking. It's practically a genocide and the BBC has nothing to say
The chattering class everywhere doesn't want to look at this reality. it doesn't fit with the narrative of colonialism, hegemony and blah, blah, blah. It can't face the fact that the "Rainbow Nation" is as real as unicorns.

Couldn't pay me enough to visit anywhere in Africa. Some of these stories remind me of visiting my family in Honduras/El Salvador... Refuse to ever go back there again either. I'll happily stay in the US and spend my time vacationing Scandinavian countries and Japan.
I listened through all of this, and living in safe, tiny Norway, it's almost unbelievable that such a thing could happen to anyone. Where I live, even if it is a neighborhood with a lot of people in difficult life situations, it's pretty much safe to keep the door unlocked, and I just lock it during night-time because I have some neighbors that just come busting in without bothering to knock and don't have the social IQ to understand I prefer to invite my guests instead of them inviting themselves. Specially the part with having to wear a gun, having armed guards, all the security etc. is so far from reality here. Even when people were rarely do armed robberies against gas-stations and similar, it's with fake guns, soft-guns or whatever they are called, and they are often simply not believed, and have to go away without any benefit from their crime, and also get caught. ANYWAY, I really felt bad for your father, and I subscribed to him and you the same time. I wish your parents could come live here, although it's close to the arctic, almost non-stop night half the year, so probably not the kind of place someone used to African climate would like. :)

Hope you will also help to inform people about all the brutal farm murders - the farmers and their families being tortured, raped and murdered for no good reason. We are still living in SA but the crime is getting out of hand. We live in Centurion, Pretoria and last week alone had 3 burglaries in one street in one night. Due to the constant loadshedding (no electricity) the people are more vulnerable in their homes. Loadshedding is due to the extreme corruption at Eskom - our energy provider. They have sindicates working at Eskom that is sabotizing the place - they are aparently connected to the ANC government so nothing gets done about it. The previous head of Eskom had to leave the country, he did write a book though. So that would also be an interesting topic. So we deal on a daily basis high levels of corruption and violent crime, dysfunctional and corrupt police, hours of loadshedding , millions of unemployed people living on social grants and the tax base getting smaller because so many educated people leaving. O yes and then SA and Russia becoming big buddies while the USA not so happy about that. If they impose sanctions on SA , i think that will be the last straw and even though we want to remain here, we will probably have to leave SA if we can.

I have lived a very sheltered and comfortable life, however I am not naïve because my family in France especially those who were lived through the world wars … Your stories are important to know … because too many people here in North America believe communism is good.. it isn’t
I don't think that many people actually think communism is good. Hell, where I live, next to the university town of Iowa City, you get a lot of what you might call "far left" types and I've seen a few people say they're communist or "Marxist Leninist" or whatever. But they're far from the majority even of people solidly on the left of the political spectrum.
It isn’t but our universities are teaching our impressionable youth this madness. Marxism is rampant now… our world needs a nuclear war to reset…
Isn't it unpardonable to be this clueless, stupid and sentimental??
The USA left-wing media paints the whole struggle in South Africa as being black (good) vs white (evil). Life is rarely so uncomplicated. Thanks for explaining things for us.
They’re trying to do that here
everything in america is presented as Black and White because the media think everyone's too fucking stupid to understand any different. That's why America is such a fucking shithole and will never be satisfied.
In my country, Holland, they even refuse to take in white SA refugee farmers. The biggest racists nowadays, are the white leftwing wokeidiots and the blacks themselves.
It sounds very complicated in South Africa without black and white.

Originally from the states, I've lived in Mexico City for 4 years and although i live in a safe area this is not the case in surrounding areas. Unfortunately I made a habit of driving on iosolated roads in the mountains, such a beautiful and pristine area, almost magical at times. About a month ago I found myself in said area on a sunday afternoon, decided to park and look at the map as opposed to driving around doing it. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and a guy was going for the door, i didn't see the gun. I put the car in drive and boom, I got shot. Was only a small wound, the bullet ricocheted off the dashboard, went through the steering column and hit me on my left bicep. A lot of blood but very little pain.
I learned a lesson, listen to advice about no-go areas and ALWAYS stay on guard and alert.

I followed many of your reports about China. Having lived most of my adult life in South Africa , having seen the South Africa before Mandela and his communist cohorts came to power and the aftermath of more than 20 years of misgovern by the present ANC government I can endorse every word you spoke. Interesting : when I attempted to write a more direct and descriptive version of my comment about the negative activities of the ANC government and its effect on all of South Africa CZcams seemed to have prevented me from doing so.
There are always a few key words or phrases it will catch after twenty seconds or so. To avoid that, have a copy of your comment somewhere and replace those key words with more innocuous counterparts. And reload your comment in another tab after a minute or so (right-click or middle-click the timestamp) to see if it stuck.

what did you like about the governments before Mandela?
how were their economic policies of the predecessors able to prevent what happened with the ANC?

Honestly the only really huge problem about it was the racism/segregation other than that there was probably corruption and stuff like other governments but now the corruption has increased this is mainly one of the reasons the poverty rates have increased these increased poverty rates have lead to more people leading to crime and that is one of the many reasons why this government is kak
Wow a white apartheid supporter who follows serpentza
Meeting a guy who grew up in South Africa (and becoming good friends with him) was wild. It made me truly realise how messed up the world is even in places you don't think of as 'dangerous' or 'sh*tholes'. How much danger most of the world lives in is crazy. It was also enlightening hearing about Nelson Mandela from a South African, instead of the school system. Funny how he was always portrayed as a hero, and then every South African I've ever met considers him a terrorist, and talks about him with more disgust then I've ever heard an American talk about Bin Laden.
Are they white people who say that cause they usually hate him
He was a terrorist. He just objectively was. Doesn't matter what your cause is, if you use violence in pursuit of a political goal that categorically makes you a terrorist. The mainstream portrayal of Nelson Mandela is pure grade A horse shit.
Or you know, it could be the situation and ANC of Mandela's time is different from the situation now, it's one of those things that are pretty complicated as to how things got how they are. When you look at how they treated the Black Africans, and how hard they wanted to hold to that, of course there would be a lot of propaganda aimed at that opposition that gets passed down through generations, especially in the face of the failure in SA over so many years, makes it easier to believ that. The problem is that's too easy, and the situation is so much more complex that that.
@@YouAreStillNotablaze Mandela was an interesting guy. He was a Marxist, but he didn't seek to govern South Africa as a Marxist or communist country when he became the leader. Of course he wasn't perfect, I mean he even named a son or grandson after Muammar Gaddafi! (As a tribute because Gaddafi had helped finance the ANC when they were still considered a terrorist organisation, as Gaddafi did with a potpourri of terrorist and insurgent groups across the world)
South Africa is both dangerous and 90% shit hole in developed areas. It shouldn't surprise anyone
