It’s deeply in-bedded into them and their systems! I went to Joberg, Soweto and Durban and visited the different areas,townships and suburbs, spoke to so many people,coming from London I was Shocked by what I discovered! Only 31% of the black population has access to a phone! The ones that have one usually can’t put credit on it! Only 41% of blacks have a flushing toilet! Longer load shedding hours in the black areas compared to white areas! But, even within the black areas, there’s Hierarchy amongst them and that surprised me! The segregation will never end because the government is still working against it by making it financially difficult for a black person to move to a white or coloured area! Even many white South Africans who left SA after -94 Still says that white and black can’t live together! Well, it Works Fine in London!
Hi NewAfrica, nice to see you are making podcast, but have you completely stopped the documentaries or you post them somewhere else?
Hi @odohib8798, we’ve had quite a bit of change behind the scenes, but we’re working hard to bring the documentaries back to you (they take slightly longer to produce, especially now) so do please bear with us! Once we’ve published our next documentary, we’ll be moving the podcast onto a channel of its own 😊🙏🏾
I hope things improve in South Africa, I've heard it's a wonderful country
Our democracy only turning 30 this year btw
Huge fan of your work, but I really hope u bring the documentaries back
This was a very interesting conversation and I really enjoyed listening.
Answer is yes, economically and racially
Love from Cape Town. I wish I had met you when you were here.
People tend to want to live among their own communities. Its why in the UK you will get asian areas ie Pakistanis. Also, there is white flight.
?? Where in the UK would this be??

God I fucking wish...
Shame on you for buying subscribers.
Eh?? Where did you get that from? 👀
@@NewAfrica my channel was subscribed to you without my doing, you have over 350k subscribers and very few videos. All your videos have low viewcounts. It is very clearly bought subscribers, or a bought account.
@@leelandlagasse6517Lol, respectfully sir/ma’am, you are categorically wrong, and while your claim is libel, it’s oddly flattering at the same time. We’re very proud of our organic growth over the years, and it’s a testament to our large but tight knit subscriber community. So I’m not sure how you ended up here, but re you subscribing ‘without your knowledge’ is it possible our newer, less engaged, content has confused you, and you haven’t actually come across some of our older videos and subscribed after watching those? I wouldn’t call our channel views low (is 2.6million views on a single video classed as low nowadays??), but feel free to take it up with CZcams & their algorithm if you take issue with how quickly we’ve grown 🤷🏾. As a wise man once said, don’t hate the player, hate the game.
I love how everyone praises cape town when it is infact a white created and run city . The leadership has always been white and the demographics have always skewed towards white people . The best city in africa is white . That should tell you everything you need to know about africans
uuuggghhhh but muh white devils, white bad, black gud
Sort your own country out first!
But Callum, sir, we are NewAfrica…all African countries are ‘our own country’ 😣
@@NewAfrica I mean the British woman!
@@callumbush1That’s awkward…I’m the British woman 😬. NewAfrica is actually my & my husband’s channel, nice to meet you 😅. I’m originally from Ghana and definitely agree that Ghana has many issues of its own that need sorting out…but since this episode was about Lesotho & South Africa (also my countries 😉), it’d probably have been even more awkward if I randomly started talking about Ghana and its woes halfway through the conversation, don’t you think? 😅
@@NewAfrica oh my apologies I thought you were some Brit preaching to Africans!
@@callumbush1😂 no worries at all Callum, it’s a fairly thick British accent to be fair. Thanks for watching 🙌🏾!
Segregation is Irrelevant. The issue is do the Africans have the land and power.
wait till you find out what segregation entails (To be plain, it includes cutting off a group from resources and thus power, relegating them to be second class citizens and making wealth-building and true autonomy nearly impossible.)
@@osedebame3522 if this a legacy issue from apartheid the question is how has it lasted till now? either by the ANC instilling nepotism into the government, rendering it too incompetent to solve the problem. Or as some my suggest, a secret cabal of of wealth Boers pulling the puppet strings to keep blacks segregated... either way I believe a NewAfrica Docu-series is in order!! ;)
@@osedebame3522
My point is even if many get "included" , the problem is the whole system is made to keep most Africans land and powerless.
Must free the land and seize control of resources and distribution.
Otherwise people will fall for "nothing burgers" like seeing a few Africans with nice homes, jobs, cars etc..... and think the problem is we all need to just work harder.
And the colonizers just need to give us jobs and allow us to live next to them.
