Yep you right about Americans using SA for clout,I think South Africans will click on anything said South African and will comment.
True hey 😂😂
Bcoz we are such a proud nation
We r not ignored
Why’s mara vele? 🤔Entlik, si thandi izinto eh Mzansi ai suka 😂🤣
Bro he is the first 😂
Mansa please embrace being the blueprint for Americans reacting to South African content. You’re the OG, so big ups 🙌🏾
True my gee
That Fire La was doing the reactions way before Mansa, but I’m not taking anything away from Mansa and I’m a fan of both
I kinda agree with you on the chat about Amapiano. 2019 Piano was and still is iconic but you need to listen to more Amapiano artists 🙂there’s Stokie, Jaivane, Mdu TRP, Sam Deep and many others, outside of Kabza, Phori and Kelvin. Tiktok really ruined the genre because now the whole genre is being judged based on music that’s released to suit the demands of tiktok and the international audience. Private school Piano is where it’s at🫶🏽
And the chakalaka slander?? Ngizokushaya shame😭😭 People prepare chakalaka differently so hopefully you’ll give it another try.
Akashawe 😂😂ngeke phela nge chakalaka
Like who makes chakalaka sweet though 😅
I don’t blame him 🤭
Tshepo is a legend
We see a lot of Americans here in SA now and we believe that you are the one who showed them that Africa is not a jungle
Shout out to you baba
Pedros is what Nandos used to be before they went international 😂😂🤣 Pedros fyre!!!
I tried Pedro's for the first time recently...blew me away😊
As a South African.. I appreciate your honesty, no need to apologise at all 😊😊
You paved the way for these guys to start to react South Ahh!
But we instantly tune in when there is being talked about us & most of them notice that so they now jump on the wave.
You're correct about Americans using our name for clout on social media but they're not alone because that's what a lot of Africans are doing as well.They all will throw our name into things that have nothing to do with us because they know that attracts a lot of interest.But you're the pathfinder on this one,big up.
Hommie was doin' it before anybody else - he started it xD.
Who are "Africans"?
@@kaykay5605 Who are Americans?
About African people not all we love our South Africa 🇿🇦
People come from other countries from within Africa because they appreciate South Africa…. Of course they are those who do bad but most like South Africa and talk good about the country
I agree Mansa.
Sotho and Xhosa are most loved by any tribe of men in SA
True
Correct
Facts
Facts 🥰
That's not fact😂😂, is just opinion
Don't be afraid to mention the issue of loadshedding bro. It's the worse experience for any tourist visiting the country because most are not used to power cuts.
As a South African, thank you for your honest opion. We know you are not trolling, you are just being honest.
Chicken licken is well marketed, in the 80's most of their outlets were placed next to taxi ranks and train stations. Chicken licken spend time and effort on marketing. As for Americans reacting to South Africa I did pick up on that and most of their reactions are not genuine, most of them flooded the scene after your night out at Tanzania club.
So true.
SAns🇿🇦 are very Patriotic , most content creators realized that putting SA in their videos makes SAns to watch videos. Its not only Americans we had Africans too who never been to SA giving their opinion on SA and SAns reactions. Sometimes the topic it's not Even about SA but SA will be added on just for content and the caption will add SA as bait. We know genuine CZcamsrs and those pushing views, one thing is certain thou we quickly get bored😂 "siboreka masinya 😂"
You have truly seen us as South Africans and not just talk about it. We love your genuineness. And SA peeps love honesty. And hey.... Everything you said was really from true understanding of this amazing place. Thank you for the giggles and seeing you explore SA. And definitely food options are not as great here like in the US. I love that you fully understand each province differences in culture etc. It's so refreshing to hear an actual real opinion. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
😂 this guy is just saying everything I've been thinking lately.
We understand bro and we been with you all the way, we know where you coming from, as for all these other people; we don’t know but you always been genuine with us and our country. Much love bro 🇿🇦
😂😂😂YEBOOOH! Mansa my broo everything you just said some of us needed to here🤞💯👌THANK YOU 🤝♥️
Your right Amapiano is not the same anymore. 2019, 2020,2021 were the years amapiano was fire 🔥
You're right, a lot of Americans are now making videos about south Africans just to get their reactions. Thank you May May, we only recognize you.
Fake reactions 😢
You are right about chicken licken baba. I completely agree, I know that South Africans looove it but honestly I've even stopped buying it.
Fr, it doesn't even make top 5!
Bruh for me chicken licken just has the best ice cream and that's about it.. anything else is just ehhh
Dont like it either
It's too salty
It reminds me of my old grandmother home made chicken on her bad day😂😅
I guess these aren't unspoken truths anymore.
But the Chakalaka chat is wild
It's different you passed our vibe check and now we love you like our own
06:40
😭 no ways, pap + Braai meat + Coslow & chakalaka 🔥 it's supposed to be spicy not sweet
Mansa, your opinion is valid and approved. I agree with most of what you shared. 😅Where is the merch my guy?! I need a hoodie set from you.
The reaction channels popping up overnight is so crazy and I kind of blame SAns because they take the clickbait. It's easy to see the strategy and lack of genuine reactions. These guys just don't have the love for SA and its people like Mansa over here
It depends on you also. I enjoy the American family vlogers also.
Who in South Africa made Mansa sweet chakalala, we need to talk because it's supposed to be HOT & SPICY
bruhh i’m curious about that too cause ehh💀😭
Baked beans
The sweet taste from Chakalaka comes from carrots and baked beans. Carrots are naturally sweet, hence Chakalaka will always have that sweet taste even when is hot 🌶️.
The opinion about Xhosa and Sotho women being the most beautiful women in SA is a fact🔥🤣
Thank you bro, I also feel like we lack options when it comes to fast food. Even food from restaurants is limited. there are restaurants that sell variety of food but they limited
Remember that the food available in any country is dictated by the palate of the people.There are many food varieties out in the world but some would not be popular with us.
@@sthe_zar6341 why are we not thinking deeper about it vele?
Scandinavians, Italians, Germans, Japanese etc. will also mostly have limited options for Americans, simply because they only have to cater for their own people, who love their local food because their palate is used to it.
American has every culture represented in sufficient numbers for it to be viable for many of those cultures to influence the local palate, but ultimately black Americans will still return to their typical black American food which makes sense to them but maybe not so much to us.
It’s the trade off you make when you choose to live in a foreign country. Most of us adjust to what’s eaten wherever we are, some of us just don’t get used to American food when we live there.
Personally, I found indigenous German food closer to our traditional food in how they cooked it (nothing overdone) and loved eating it, as well as their version of the KFCs and McD’s.
Have never taken to American food at all, too artificial, which makes it hard for an American to adjust to real food. At some point their palate will crave the chemicals, excess sugar and salt and the preservatives.
On behalf of Sotho Women, I just wanted to say thank you! 🥰
Agree with you mansa, but give chakalaka a chance.....and yes you paved a way for most of Americans to react on South Africa videos ..... But we know that you genuinely love us, and we love you and you are one of our own bra.....we will always support you....stay safe an Good bless you Mansa❤❤❤
Don't hate a person for speaking his opinion, just offer him something to speak facts. Remember he is not criticizing but sharing current situation.
I am a proud Mosotho woman living in Canada, and I may not agree with you on some points but you awright❤
Amapiano is the best Gift given to Us by God 😎Amapiano saved me from the 2 year lockdown In Australia . It’s a healing vibration we need right now🎉
Pedro's >>> Nandos🥳 finally someone said it
1. Your take on amapiano ✔️
2. Your take on Durban music being the best ❌( lower the dosage boi)
3. Chicken licken is definitely overrated ✔️✔️✔️
4. SAn are hella fly✔️✔️✔️
5. American YTbers using SA: pot, meet kettle
PS: also a foreigner but from the mother land
Your opinion on number opinion is👎🏽,I kinda agree with Mansa but not totally..You don't wanna mess with Durban talent, Durban artist & it's music move faster & differently than any other province than I totally to defend to everything I got.Durban and it's artist/music have created movements that would suffocate your criticism about whatever you disagreed on... I'd like know which answer is correct & which answer were you expecting from mansa with regards to choosing his best artist & music from the country.
@@RoyalsanWorldI feel like Soweto (JHB) and Sosha/Mamelodi (PTA) made the best music in SA... just my take 🤷♂️
@@RoyalsanWorldthe last hit i know from dbn was umlilo
You're so right bro, I totally agree with you and don't apologize. I'm Xhosa 😂❤️👌
The hesitation before the amapiano segment was so real😂 but you're absolutely right
I Respect you in how you have embraced our Country you educating alot with this Content fam we ROCK WITH YOU HOMIE
Honesty helps the improvement, we already knew most of what you said my G, but i hope we can improve
It’s not that deep just opinions nothing has to change because of my opinions 😅
Your unpopular opinions are really not bad at all, some points you are making are quite valid.
Thanks for showing SA some love.👊🏾
Dawg That Xhosa click!! I'm Proud Of You!!! 🇿🇦✊🏿
On Durban music being the best i kind of not know. I think what makes confusion is that Youll find Zulu in almost all the music genres, even non Zulu musicians sing in Zulu not their languages.
Would like to see you react to Maskandi one day 😂😂😂.
You've learnt a lot about South Ahhh these years 🇿🇦 🔥
I agree on the food part, it's been frustration for years as a South African
My Ugandan friend always makes the same comment when he visits these parts. Perhaps the traditional foods from the various ethnicities should come back to improve the varieties...
I agree with you my g; when it comes to clubbing, women, I mean, I’ve stopped going out every weekend with my girl, it’s really not healthy for a relationship and one gotta have a lot of self control for real…
You are speaking the honest truth with the Amapiano chat! Nowadays I find myself listening to 2019-22 amapiano. But this happens when a genre gets commercialized and I get thar honestly. Now heats a few and far in between.
Lol as a xhosa woman i appreciate that❤
Hayke thina bendikhangela ke comment🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@NwabisaMvuthuluka-ku4ld ewe kaloku 🤣🤣
As Ndebele/Pedi Girl...I Agree Xhosas Are Beautiful.... Even the Charisma...I love my Xhosa Tribe....oh god 🥺❤️🔥
Nqo kaloku
Creme of the crop thina kaloku😅😂😅
Every 3 months, I clock those air miles for a taste of South Africa's vibes. From the urban hustle to the serene countryside, I've got the 411 on this place like it's my second home!
Now, let's dish on SA's diverse food scene - it's a culinary rollercoaster! Fast food here? Next level! More options than your fave streaming playlist, and the flavors? But hey, not every spot hits the right notes. Chicken Lickin? My lady and SA squad are on board, but this food critic silently opts out.
And speaking of vibes --- Amapiano! It's not just "like" house music; it's the heartbeat of the house scene. It is a sub sub sub genre of house mixed with exotic SA vibes.
Mansa, you need to explore more. There are all types of restaurants in SA. Greek, Asian, Italian, Portuguese, African. Youived in CPT, there are all sorts of sea food options. Seafood boils are an American thing so it will never be the same.
No stress, we aint gonna cancel you. I dont think Chakalaka or Chicken Licken are overrated, i think the issue is the inconsistencies, depends on where its made, when chakalaka or Chicken Licken is good,it is really GOOD ! But anyway, we still love yah 😊
True that
Actually you have the same sentiments as most south Africans I know including myself
When you focus on one attribute of a specific group, that group starts overriding that specific attribute to the point where it becomes a nuisance. It’s like when the Zulu men were being “low-key praised” for being ignorant hard hard-headed men. The Zulu men started overrevving about that thing till it started smoking. That’s what’s going to happen to Xhosa women after listening to this clip about their attitude.
I hate this truth though
You are the OG Mansa.You and TRSA started the movement. We respect you for loving us SA❤❤
Mansa saying he is a retired groovist 😂 I feel you on the toxic culture, especially when it comes to loyalty in dating
We cook a lot in South Africa, we like home made meals. We don`t eat out that much maybe that is why we do not have a lot of options out there.
Love your honest bro! Keep going
I appreciate this post❤❤Honesty appreciated.(coming from a young Sotho woman😉😌)
I've also followed you since 2020 and I am so glad to see how you have evolved. I remember when you reacted to the Casper vs AKA beef and how you held back on negative opinions and legit did your best to not pick a side, so glad to see how far you have come. 💯 For staying kind and respectful my g, love all round.
Side note: You are probably the only American who can get away with the things you have said here 😂, anyone else who did it would probably be doing it for clout
Mansa remember another problem in South Africa is inequality
Most of "us" cant affort gourmet sophisticated foods
So Nandos and Kfc cater for all of us
Its those in Cities with very good chefs that get to enjoy different foods, and can afford
And also as a chef I can comment that the South Africa is only starting to learn dining culture now. So the country is still being introduced to all these different cuisines. Something that the US has fully embraced and is thriving in
@@boitshepomoloto1677 Yes absolutely 💯
Hope it will encourage some variety in food in restaurants, But again I've watched too many episodes of "Kitchen night mare's by Gordon Ramsey too long Menus are a disaster
I do wish each province to have its own kind of menu not get same thing the entire country 😕
Nah! We eat what we eat and we love it and do not desire US level of variety, nor do we need it. The US has every country’s culture represented in sufficient numbers for it to have access to the various cultures and foods. We are a much smaller country, recently emerged from a backward boerestat style country.
We are content with our food choices, as are Germans, Italians, Japanese, Koreans etc. content with theirs.
We cannot expect to satisfy the palate of people who eat just about everything all the time, including a lot of fake food and food that has a ton of sugar and a ton of chemicals.
People who love clean, real food without forced variety will be happy with the “limited” choices we have. They will adapt to our ways and our food and culture and live happily ever after.
PS:
Most South Africans probably have no opinion on Chicken Licken, simply because they have not eaten it in decades. Coz we eat what we eat and food is not an adventure to the majority, just something we do to keep our bodies alive and functioning.
@@boitshepomoloto1677I think because of the inequality and affordability...we are force to enjoy our homemade meal......Our salaries dont allow us to frequent the restaurants on a regular basis
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Groove culture has ruined the dating scenes fr. also your comment about chakalaka!? sir take that back. . . . . . . . . . . yessssssssss hon the house music opinion. Its the beeessssstttttt!!!!!!!!!! “maybe because i am getting old”🤣 . . . . . . . . i am with you on the 3 step and Durban opinions as well.
You did not lie about the groove culture and Sotho wonen, sir.🤝
Amapiano, Gqom, 3 step, etc. are subgenres of house music. We first mastered traditional house music before we started creating subgenres. That's why you find it so good.
You are right about fast food options. We dont have much options compared to the US. I really don't have much interest in visiting the US, but I would just to try all those different foods.
1:27 I agree. I often find their chicken to be salty. I only like their wings.
I'm South African and everything you said in the video are actual facts. Lol especially when you spoke about amapiano and chicken licken😂😂 Deep house\ house definitely is the best. Regardless though, we love you Tsepho! Come back home, we miss you.😢
You started the Americans reacting to SA, CZcams wave.. Legit 😤😤😤🔥🔥🔥
I agree with most of your opinions. Tiktok has been both a blessing and a curse to amapiano. Great songs only trend for a week and are often replaced by a dance challenge. Amapiano artists feel the need to keep up with trends and I don't think it's necessarily a bad business decision. The problem is that the genre loses some quality as artists release multiple EPs per year. Soon, the genre will run out of ideas. They are already remaking old songs and most of them are a direct copy/paste with some drums but one might as well buy the cassettes and listen to the original songs.
No country on earth perfects house music like SA... zilch! As for Americans using SA for clout I don't see an issue with it. In the world we live in sometimes survival is of the fittest and adaptable. I don't care who reacts to SA but I am glad they are reacting because that is more power to SA. Sometimes we ask CZcamsrs to react to our stuff just like people asked Mansa to react to SA videos back then.
I live in Cape Town & yes it is the best place in South Africa 😍. Also totes agree - Chicken Licken is overrated 😭😂. Also representing Tswana/Sotho women 🫠.
Love the honesty of this vid Mansa, thank u. And for your next video I would like to hear you great in Afrikaans Xhosa or even Zulu 😀,let's ee if u take that challenge
Totally agree with you mansa❤️❤️❤️
What music genre is slapping now ??? 🤔
Edit: okay house ✊🏽
Capetown i agree, i love it ❤
This guys invested a lot bieng in south africa, now he dope, and SA is influencing other countries now, great job fam
Durban is the party Capital of Mzansi, it makes sense most of the music we consume on the groove scene is from ka daar.
On Point!!!!! ❤❤❤
that chicken licken one was a real hot take
😂😂😂😂😂😂 “thats just me” omg 🤣. . . you are not lying though.
Not only for you Mansa 2020 to early 2022 amapiano was the realest amapiano 😭 I’m glad you noticed that too 🙌🏾
I think i speak for all my fellow south africans when i say we lowkey agree w you on Cape Town being the best City in S.A.🇿🇦
Lol nah u dont speak for all of us
@@jonasmaseko9194 which city better then cpt?
Jozi of course
@@jonasmaseko9194 phambene
I agree with You about Pedros, Chicken Licken,The current Amapiano. The 2018-2021 Amapiano was Elite. Still is! House will forever be undefeated for sure! I won’t fault the current Amapiano though because one thing about SA. We move on quickly to another a genre. I won’t be surprised if another one is currently being cooked.The Click bait is definitely a chat for another Day 😅!
I agree with all the things you said Mansa especially about Chakalaka 🤭😂😂
On point, especially about reactions
on amapiano, I agree with you
Deep House Music and yes, you're 100% spot on, Durban is the best when it comes to musical talent. Not taking away from other cities, South Africa as a whole has great talent when it comes to music, but Dbn stands out.
80% of the musical hits are from Durban.
Cape Town still takes everything else besides the music 👐🏾
10:22 I agree 100%. We were doing house music before amaPiano. Amapiano got inspiration from house music hence it's fair to describe it as a sub genre of house. House music has always been the standard genre.
I honestly found it hard to listen to piano, Becouse I listened to a lot deep house.... There are Hits I heard from amapiano I liked.... But House Music... Baba🥵🥵
Lols house music bangs😭
As far as groove goes,PTA and Joburg are the best, Cape town is good cause you'll feel familiar with it coming from USA, as for Amapiano, the best catalogue starts from when Kabza and Maphorisa dropped the "SCORPION KINGS"🤝
I agree with most things you said. House music is 100% the best sa music❤
I don't know what happened with ThatFireLA but I think he deserves the same credit you guys are giving Mansa in these comments. They surfaced around the same time but something happened with bro over the previous year or so
True, I wonder what happened to him
As a South African i will say the best gandhara music is Lekompo and Amampiano right now. Limpopo is take over check out Shebeshxt, Makhazi, King Monada, Master KG, Sho Madjozi i know i might be bit bias because all those artists i mentioned they are from Limpopo but look out for Shebeshxt the next big artist in South Africa.
You poked me at the chakalaka 🙆🏾🥵
Me too because most of our chakalaka is spicy not sweet 😂
You're 99% correct Mansa, Amapiano used to be very very good, gals 😂 actually depend on ones preference hey shout-out to us Xhosas✌️, i hate Chakalaka 🤮 ey Mansa you're right in everything my guy✌️✌️
One thing you must know about SA is that we believe in freedom of speech, its ok that you feel like that and as you said its your opinion,some of your points are valid for aslong as you are not judging us.
You best believe🇿🇦 we got that bond Mansa
i actually thought it was going to be bad but tbh some of this stuff is actually what ive been telling myself
I agree with Amapiano, also 2017-2019 Amapiano was the best
As a Zulu woman I agree with Xhosa and Sotho women being beautiful, I'd say Tswana though instead of Sotho
Also the groove culture is too much, I don't drink, and I always have to answer why I don't drink alcohol it has become annoying honestly.
Just from experience at Nandos. If you sit down there's a lot more sauce available. I also had experiences where my Nandos were dry when I took a takeaway.
I just landed in SA definitely going to explore everything you said 🇿🇦
Wecome
We followed you years back not because we agreed will all of your opinions but because we like your content and we like you as a person. i had a rare privilege to meet you in Braam with Nota and we talked a bit. like any other relationship we will see things different but that will never translate to unfollowing or cancel culture.... i feel like the Cancel Culture is not African...... we embrace diversity and difference. Lastly.... we were expecting you to come to Podcast and Chill with MacG and Sol Phenduka and the Ghost Lady.... man we appreciate you keep pushing...
