  • South Africa has had a turbulent history of occupation, discrimination and violence against the black population. With the ANC in power and today in the post-Mandela era, the roles have been reversed. We see a true 'Black Economic Empowerment', in which the black people are favored in terms of housing and employment. The white middle class is slowly slipping into poverty, resulting in violence, excessive drug and alcohol abuse.
    Barber Shop South Africa tells the story of this impoverished white middle class who decides to isolate himself from the outside world and settles in strict religious communities in the countryside.
    Adri (36) is the white female hairdresser from Filadelfia Ark, a community West of Pretoria. She cuts her hair on a chair outside her bungalow. Her customers appreciate her gentle approach and visit her for an enjoyable chat. Filadelfia Ark has an almost paradisiacal setting, with lakes, animals and an outdoor dining area, but the community exudes a story of fear, exclusion, poverty and religion.
    Barber Shop Episode 6 - Pretoria West / South Africa
    Director: Luc Vrydaghs
    Producer: Emmy Oost

    How can they claim to be godly if they're so racist and divided and see black people as less than? They pray with their mouths but not with their hearts. Does it not make prayer meaningless then? This video was a bit much. The country needs to move forward together. Not divided. This won't help anyone.

    I am a South African, black as we are called or described, I am very impressed of how Oom Dirk is helping the poor afrikaaners speaking people in his farm. I so pray that people who are financially well off must come forward and do more to many economically and socially struggling people. However I have this to him , teach people or say true things about Yeshuah, and observe the true Shabbat according the Bible, love. Yeshuah died for all not for certain nation or tribe. The only way to can remove the curse on people is to be honest and love one another, apartheid is evil and satanic, and everyone who practice it is of the devil.

    I'm 24 years and live in The Orchards, a suburb in the northern part of Pretoria. I've seen poor and destitute Afrikaners in Pretoria North and Pretoria West especially, where some live in informational settlements and are addicted to drugs and alcohol. But I've never seen or heard of Filedefia Ark; it's my first time seeing it, but I'm honestly not angered by its existence and the people who live there.
    I mostly feel pity for their living standards and ignorance to live amongst all South Africans of different races and backgrounds, as its causing them to be stagnant in all aspects. Obviously, Oom Dirk's got animosity towards the ANC government at the beginning of the new democracy for integrating black people into the economy and industries to empower them, but I dont think all those white people just got poor once the ANC got into power. They had to have been poor already towards the last years of apartheid, due to a number of factors, whether it be inequality amongst white people, single mother run homes, addiction, etc.
    I also do get what Oom Dirk says about how other white people and the churches have failed them, because some, if not most wealthier Afrikaners living in the North and East of Pretoria view those poor Pretoria West Afrikaners as "white trash" and different from them, so they aren't helping their fellow people either and sort of see them as failing to improve their living and economic situation, when its actually capitalism doing its job in favouring the rich.
    The good thing is though is these Afrikaners don't represent all Afrikaners, as do the wealthy ones. They dont even in believe in South Africa, so I see no point in trying to reason with them to stop being racist as the elders are too far gone. The young ones can change and if they can get into a good school, go to uni or get a job, they'll realize that how they were raised isn't helpful for them and society at large and we are stronger together when we see the humanity in each other and work towards a common goal 🤝.

    This is one the few great things you'd find on internet. A camp of both refuge and rehabilitation that is neither a mental hospital or prison. These are not just whites who got poor but whites who got troubled by addiction and other things. Sometimes, being away from so much and being with people who have similar problems, such as yours, can cure you . Thank you, Dirk Van Vuuren, for what you're doing.
    I wish we had camps like this for our troubled youth (Amapara kanje) junkies

    It is their own unwillingness to release their resentment towards non-whites that causes them to feel like they need to live like this. They are not hated / victimised / ostracised by the rest of the population. There are plenty of Afrikaans communities living as normal South Africans.
    I don't believe that they should be pitied any more than the average South African - who is inevitably facing a variety of struggles. If only they could see past race and understand that we are all in this shit together.

      Black South Africans should know all too well what discrimination toward your people can do to you. It has effected these people more than people like me in highly demanded industries. It still doesn't compare against the acceptable racism being shown towards the Afrikaner post-94'. "Dubul' ibhunu" was deemed not hate speech just the other way. Julius is a prime example on how racism towards Afrikaners are acceptable. It is only expected from the Afrikaners not to be racist anymore, but not the majority.

      I think this is true. It is evident from some of the statements made and language used. In no way is hatred a solution. Since you are from Italy, the piece that you might be missing is that in previous years and especially during the Apartheid, each side was born and raised to generally dislike and mistrust each other. It was part of the older generations' upbringing and even their education. And it has been passed down in certain generations, especially in pockets of communities where there hasn't been much integration. Fortunately, for the majority of South Africans, we have managed to integrate and, in doing so, understand and respect each other better. I fear for those on either side that haven't had that opportunity because that's where hatred and blame festers. On a side note, there's a lovely book translated by a South African author, Dalene Matthee, that records Italians coming to South African to farm with silk worms. It's called Mulberry Forest. If you can get the book, I think you will find it very interesting.

    I am a black South African woman and I believe in God. I think from the comments we are promoting division. My question is, what is different between black and white people? There are still more black people who are struggling with life. I am not saying that this people deserve what they are going through but to categorise it on a certain group is to say that it is fine for the other group to suffer. It is until when we can come together and unite against the unjust of the nation to find solutions where we can live the life that God created us for. I am challenged by the fact that it’s like there are people who are born to suffer while others are not supposed to suffer and I don’t know who said that? Don’t get me wrong. No one and I mean no one is supposed to suffer in any place. If we can look at the reality and the number we can see that it’s not about a specific group. We are God’s people and He love us all the same. It is until when we stop categorising ourselves and placing ourselves in groups that we will see life from the creation.

Many centuries prior to European colonisation, the Western Europeans were an insular people! They were not really aware of the world.After being christianised they imagined the biblical characters to be just like them in race! That misconception was ingrained in the Western European mindset and carried through! Most biblical characters and nations were not blond hair and blue-eyed people! Yes, over the centuries, cultures have mixed, especially with the imperialistic roman empire ! I believe that even Jesus was darker skinned .If you look at the Middle East today, you have a spectrum of skin shades! Even the Ethiopian queen visited Israel !And many more!

      The difference between the Afrikaners and the African population is that the Afrikaners has always believed in helping themselves, whereas the Africans always want the government to help them, which they clearly are not doing. This is no criticism, just stating the facts. If the Africans can have that same 'can do' mentality, you will see South Africa flourish.

      Really? Maybe you have not been paying attention - Europe is over, you will be minorities in Europe in 20-30 years. When they arrived in the Cape in 1652 there was not a single black tribe in the Cape, only bushmen - they met the first black tribes in 1785, 580 miles North East when the tribes invaded South Africa and chased out the bushmen, the bushmen were the first to arrive in South Africa, then the Europeans and then the black tribes. The Xhosa kings list is only 290 years, the last black tribe known as the venda entered South Africa in the 1660s, when the whites arrived, so did many of the black tribes - if you or anyone doubts, go read the diaries of Vasco Da Gama which recorded where they found the 1st black tribes, not in South Africa but in Mozambique.

      @@thabondabambi4927 yebo thabondabambi --- what I write is with love for all people but something special for the black folk. Please read and I hope you understand what I am saying without prejudice. What keeps the black people poor is (a) their obsession with "racism" and (b) "apartheid". If you look at the townships built in the years of apartheid what do you see? Proper brick houses with water and electricity in a yard. If you look at the white suburbs what do see - rows and rows of high storey two bedroom flats. Why is this? It's because the white people did not own land, they could not afford renting houses and could not afford travelling to work - so the flats were built near the station or city centre so they could walk to work. Afrikaners where not employed by English companies that is why so many ended up in the civil service. The war we fought on the Angolan border was to protect Namibia people from being murdered by SWAPO and communism. We did not fight the MK. Blacks enjoyed job projection - at Iscor (Mittal) black people could not loose their jobs because of technological advances that could do the work with machinery. I paid for my own studies - night classes quarter past 5 till half past nine. Where are the houses the ANC promised? The state hospitals are so bad we went to collect my mother in law with a broken hip after 4 days when I dokter had still not seen her. I discharged myself from hospital because the nurses had an attitude aand did not assist me. Is this racism? In the apartheid years there were 3 black republics - Venda, Transkei, Bophuthatswana - each had their own armies, police, universities and was founded on ancestral land. What happened to these republics - the ANC destroyed them and blame the whites for stealing land. You do know that the government owns the most land in the country - why don't they distribute it, why don't they pay the young black youth a wage to built houses on this land. Instead they murder the farmer's, murder the whites, murder their own people. If Julius Malema call for the genocide of white people....is that racist, criminal....what does he want. Do you realise that the ANC has destroyed every SOC and NCA in this country. They take Israel to the ICJ for genocide but profess it themselves. You know why they did this? South Africa is bankrupt broer - the ANC has no money. Somebody, probably Russia and China paid them a lot of money to do this so now they are smiling again. Did you get any benefit? I want to ask you - do you really think the white people does not know that blacks, indians and Coloureds talk about about whites in racist terms? Do you know how much the blacks hate Coloureds and Indians? Do you expect that once all whites have been killed or left there will be peace between blacks, coloureds and indians? So my dear brother, blacks are beautiful people with beautiful traditions but you have been blinded by politics. It is a tradegy. God bless you and your family. 👍

    Many black South African faced the same situations , mostly in the villages. The only solutions for them was to travel to the cities every day to look for a low paying jobs. They would buy a weekly bus tickets to clean people's houses and do gardening jobs. The first bus that leaves the village to the city is at 3am in the mornings, and people are still using that bus to this day. Only black people wakeup that early in the mornings and worked for that small salary.
    They had no choice because they needed that little money. People who lived close to the cities, never wanted to those jobs. Today they are victims and marginalized.

    as a black man in this country ill say this there is no reason for any race group to live in isolation like this, and statistically more black people are victims of crime than any other race, so there is no targeting of specific races like any other country its about those who have and those who dont when it comes to crime, its no longer about race but more about rich and poor in our country and the only way for us to rebuild is together as a nation and not breeding racism in isolation, there are those who contribute to the betterment of a nation and then there are those who refuse to join society
