It pains me to
See the condition of some structural houses the people reside. While in other areas people thrive and live on the fat of the land. I love that the people have a heart of gold, genuine and sincere in coming together.
he is a zimbabwean
African Tigress i love your vlogs very interesting and intelligent too that’s what i watch you. i like how you didn’t speak more concerning that Biafra of a thing it’s complicated. what they are passing through in the country is sad but i tell you its better not to talk about it let them speak for themselves. Enjoy girl 👧
@@yesohyes9198 thank you 🤗
African tigress don't mind the idiots and uneducated individuals insulting you .some of these t guys they don't have a passport they don't know Africa all they know is these mukukhus mxa
This Zimbabwean tour guide really knows the township and its people more, it seems like he had got a very good relationship with the community folks
Why wouldn't he? Most of the people in Masiphumelele are Zimbabweans.
@@r.mariano8118 relax nothing good about Mugabe education mate. If the education was that good why are they not developing their own country instead they run away to become general labourers in neighbouring countries?
@UC3A3_Vhc9DBXsqKX94OXhHg How can he be Kenyan when he is talking pure shona. He even said to the Zimbabwean old man who is a vendor "home boy".
So sociable
@@mzee5533 As a south Africa yourself what are you doing to develop South Africa or what has been your contribution towards it's development?
I don't see a black human being as a foreigner in Africa. I am an SA citizen and i learned a lot of things to people from Zimbabwe and other countries. My business is successful because of their advises.
we need to appreciate South Africa for taking care of our brothers and sisters from other African countries 👏🏽👏🏽
They don't when they get comfortable they feel entitled and demand.
Well that’s none of my business
That's shows we are in motherland
The difference between the rich and the poor is shocking in this country
African Tigress this is good job. you are brave indeed that's why you stole my heart I follow you everywhere you go your vlogs are inspirational and emotional too. May God protect you all the time happy to see my brother with you
I'm south African and I'm impressed by my Zimbabwean brother there he is a leader indeed, God shall fulfill what you are chosen for.
Just to help the narrative: Most people living shacks aren't poor, they're just there because they wanna stay near to town. They have big homes back in their villages. That's why december or holidays those places (shacks and townships) becomes empty and boring.
@Khomotso Mmoko. Thanks for explaining that reality. I never knew.
Interesting
TRUE they pretend to b poor to get handouts such as blankets food school clothes stationery sanitary towels government grants, free electricity and water. etc. Most of them have Capitec bank accounts. Chq their balances. U will get a surprise. Watch the hairdos and branded clothes. The coloureds across the road r desperate and poor. Hence the violence.
Context brings a whole new level of understanding. I love it when someone brings insight on something l am only experiencing at surface.
@@hawasattar2241 the coloreds gave up their Ancestral lands to the white man. Hence why they have no where to go back to. The northern Cape and western Cape is full of rich lands. Yet they oppose land expropriation.
South Africa and Zambia is my favorite countries in Africa.I'am looking forward to be back in Durban South Africa in March of 2022.I haven't been to Cape town but definitely will visit soon.Thanks for sharing.Georgia USA.
Learn more about South Africa . Skip Cape town . They tried to make it look like Netherlands , then France . then came the British , tried to make it look like Britain . Now some people want to make it look like Carlifonia .
@@lekholokoelekotsoanamoloi9593 it is often voted by international magazines as the most beautiful city in the world. you should visit and enjoy the beautiful beaches and mountains
This looks more like an informal settlement than township. Beautiful people. Don’t know about safest township in SA but I’m glad they look out for each other
It's very safe you can walk at night and nothing will happen to you

South Africa is truly a unique African country. One cannot fail to notice the city planning that is put in place when looking at streets and buildings no matter how poor the neighborhood.
Africa will unite, it's in process, the times are changing, it's Africa's time again, Africa is the future and the Europeans know it. Excellent video. 👍🏽
At who's expense does this one sided one Africa come about,south African maybe?
It's almost a year going Tru comments. I am so blessed to see they are people who are there to support the idea of peace. It is my dream to get in to people's lives and unite them. I really need great support and guidance.
Authentic Real people taking care and looking out for each other Very very eye opening enjoying this journey with you African Tigress you bring the RAW footage Its good to see other side of Township 👍🏽👏🏾😘
The two guides plus the other gentlemen are great people and I appreciate them. I am happy to see South Africa from a different perspective, away from what is portrayed in the media. When doing interviews, you need to be more engaging, not COLD. As a Kenyan, I can say the government can learn a lot from S.A. in terms of how it manages informal settlements.
This is the vibe I’d love to see all over Afrika…the lovely attitudes…l can imagine South Africans, Namibians, Zambians, Ethiopians, Kenyans etc living together all over the continent, not just SA. A true Afropolitan continent. The sooner this happens, the better. Then we build from there.
Just that freedom to decide l want to go to somewhere as far as Ethiopia just to live and experience for even a year or so then move to Djibouti for another year. Then Mauritius.
I truly appreciate that you are not rushing to tell the story of Cape Town, it is complex and layered.
This is a common story of entry job migrant workers trying to make ends meet in the city while some of their families back home never fully grasp their everyday struggles.
Great work
Well said @Lebo. It's the migrant's thorn in the flesh. ie managing expectations of folk back at home..
Thanks AT for showcasing the other side of Cape Town.Salute to the male tour guide.He can switch from English to Xhosa and Shona easily.Also you may think u are in Zimbabwe,Shona speakers everywhere
I like the community spirit of this township. The community can do farming on the land at the back. This place has potential. Great video!
I love how people genuinely care for each other in this hood. It seems like everybody know each other. My kind of community. Some of us live in big cities surrounded by millions of people and yet were are lonely because no one talks to each other in big cities and God forbid if you fall into hard times because no one will help you. Your guide Teddy has a heart of gold and he is giving back so much to his community by helping those kids. I do hope he becomes the president of Zimbabwe one day and fulfil his dreams!
It's one of safest Hood in capetown ...we live as one family ....
Thank you for giving as an insight to how others live. So good to see people that are living together in peace. Would love to live in such a caring community, where everyone seems to know one another. Also impressed with the cleanliness.
This is so beautiful they're very caring about their community
I love this..I have always felt that outsiders see it when we are wrong regarding foreigners without taking into consideration the socio-economic hardships that are the real problem. As much as it is unacceptable how SA regards our African brothers and sisters on the other hand, as a country we need to be seen where all is well in terms of welcoming foreigners. This segment should be an eye opener for many of our detractors. I am praying that we will overcome the difficulties and hope that other African countries will do likewise to other African brothers and sisters who might find themselves in foreign African countries.
Majority of African countries have refugee camps, they will put them in a camp
Not many of those camps and not much help from those few countries either.
thank you a lot it is a blessing to have such people in our lives .
Generally, people in townships, more especially in informal settlements, take care of each other. Many talented people come from there. Unlike us in the suburbs, we mind our business. At some stage, we don't even know some of our neighbors. I miss a townships life.

Thank you for showing this side of SA bland also dispelling the idea that South Africans can't leave with other African fellows. In the next township visit, get a South African to tell and show you the local perspective as well.

Wow 💯 better than kibera in Nairobi ..... that’s not a township sisi .... that’s what we call informal settlement ..... beautiful woman out there
This should not be compared to Kibera. She should show us Khayelishta
@@hk254lyt8 Precisely, a slum for a slum, not a planned settlement. Kibera is an illegal settlement that should not even exist in the first place on government planning. Plus there are worse slums in Africa yet people dwell on it because of the lies about its population giving it the misplaced largest slum title. I know some dimwit will try argue about this. I cannot even compare the squalor there to that of slums in water I've seen around.
Thank you for this awesome tour. As a whitey I havent seen township this close up. All looks very organised and good, and full of colour, character, laughter and positivity. Would love to spend the day there and paint. Love to hear your chat. Afrikans must unite. No matter where in Africa we come from, or what is our background.

That's what we need, from our african brothers people with pure good intentions.
I'm confused by these comments 😶 why would other Africans think that South Africa has no porverty? I mean common sense should tell you that we've only had 27 years to build for those who were previously disadvantaged and that means we are still building. And we've achieved a lot, maybe not enough but there's progress.🤷
If African countries who've had democracy way longer than us are still struggling then why would you think that SA doesn't have underdeveloped areas? Come on guys
I see a lot of our fellow Africans take pride when they see black South Africans struggling some are so happy to see that there are places like siphumelele settlement. When they see a nice area like camps bay or other places they will be like no black people stay there it's only whites or white people develop mzansi it's sad
@@siyanomagqwathekane3581I saw that too.
what i do not understand is why they get confused when they do not see black people in those areas in the first place. To me it's like asking why a certain African country is not as developed as the UK or the US. 😵 IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
I mean, the fact that we were oppressed should obviously explain why we don't have generations of wealth collected at the expense of others🤷 I honestly don't get it.
@Thabiso Maila Americans (not all) look down on Africa as a whole because it’s a lot less built up compared to the USA. It’s like African Americans think they’ve made it in life and Africans are lazy and backwards to do the same to their land. I guess that’s how some SA’s come across aswell that they look down on other African nations because they are not as built up or westernised as SA 🤷🏾♀️
Because south africans on social media like to boast you would think it’s a developed country
@@hk254lyt8 you're Kenyan and you hate when people say south Africa it's far developed to compare other Africans including your country...I know you very well, you are the one and other fellow Kenyans than Nairobi its developed and best in Africa, when people disagree with you and tell you that cape town and Johannesburg are far better than Nairobi then you start mocking black south for no reason...
So a poor township with shops,internet Cafe,restaurants, community halls ,parks for the kids paved roads and houses that cost 200 dollars add that with free public hospitals ,and we surprised every second person interviewed is a african migrant.
....More informal shack settlement, than actual township.

Thanks AT for showing the other side of life in cape town. South Africa is a work in progress. In 27 years SA has achieved a lot but more still needs to be done. The part you were in is an informal settlement not a township which is just 15% of SA. Townships are formal settlements with brick and mortar houses, street addresses, and so on. In some countries SA townships would be lower middle class areas or upper working areas, depending of course where you are in the world. Most people who live in informal settlements are migrants from outside our borders and Sans from rural areas searching for employment. The government has built 4 million houses for poorest of the poor for which the recipients did not pay a cent. This has drastically reduced informal settlement to just 15%. The government is continuing to build free houses for the poorest of the poor, but increasing influx of migrants from the rest of the continent is complicating the formalization of settlements because some of the migrants are demanding all the privileges that are reserved for Sans and taking the government court demanding the same privileges as citizens. That being said, informal settlements in SA enjoy amenities such as tared roads, access to electricity, access to clean drinking water, free clinics, employment, sport facilities, free schooling. Clean drinking water is not even enjoyed by the rich in many African countries and access to good health care is a privilege in many African countries. Those people may be poor today but in few years they will climb the social 🪜. That is why those people do not dream of going anywhere but to work hard to change their fortunes. Again that is why many Africans would rather stay in informal settlements in SA than stay in precarious situation in their countries. As for xenophobia I think your visit to our country has opened your eyes about the Sans. Which side of the fence you choose aftet this exposure is up to you. We are still an enigma in Africa, no one cares to understand us but quick to misinterpret and condemn. We will never beg to be accepted but we ll continue to live our lives.
Juis broer juis
You soike truth to power.
I'm blown away by your coverage of this country. Good job. Thanks a million.
Next visit rural South Africa life. You ll find homes better than Camps bay and Sandton.
This is a great content and sure this will go viral. You have done amazing in south Africa and hope to see you blow bigger with this.
Only just come across this eye opener. Wonderful and inspiring people. I am a white westerner living in the UK. One of many thing this brings home is a sense of the scale of migration to SA from other African countries. I was aware of several million Zimbabweans but had little sense of the numbers of 'economic' migrants absorbed by SA. It put's to shame the current furore in the UK over a relatively small number of migrants attempting to enter the UK by perilous crossings of the Channel or any other means.
We visited Cape Town in 2019 and did a tour of Khayelitsha led by Uthando. I like to think the visit was educational, and not voyeuristic of patronising. Conditions in Khayelitsha seemed on a level above Masiphumelele. Leads to the question what is the difference between an informal settlement and a township? I guess a township is recognised by public authorities so in theory it has access to public resources - water, electricity, sewage, etc. For a week we stayed in the western comfort of Nordhoek - it's hard to believe Masiphumelele was less than 10k away showing the stark contrasts and gaping inequality of SA. That conditions might be so much better than the slums of origin of many of the migrants does of course not excuse the situation,
I realise now I cycled alone on the main road past Masiphumelele, If I am honest I recall being nervous at the time but must say I faced no hostility at all. I hope I can make this journey again and passing solid buildings that the community deserves.
PS I have subscribed to AT and look forward to the journey
Thanks African Tigress for this great video. Interesting, informative, motivational, one of your best. You really do post great videos.
There are more foreigners than South African 🙈 I never realised just how many of our African brothers & sister stay here
It would be great if you bring information on public platforms based on facts. Please tell us where we can get that information on the internet?. Thanks in advance
@Thabiso Maila people living in shacks in such dangerous areas instead of their country but if anything bad happens to them. South Africa gets labeled as xenophobic
@Thabiso Maila it's difficult with South Africa's economy & unemployment rate. I do think we should accept our African brothers & sisters but to live here more than 5 years? It's too long. There should be a time limit & they should pay extra tax.
@Thabiso Maila leave Kenyans out, we love our country and we have peace.Very few Kenyans are interested in migrating to South Africa, we are busy building our country and making it a better place to live.
@@WammyOnDe I visited Nairobi and mombasa full of Indians,Arabs and Somalians and they are controlling Kenyan economy...slums in south Africa are much better than slums in Nairobi...
Thank you too Sister Masiphumelele for leting me to know some of outside countries of my Continent of Africa whilst I am sited here in Mozambique, I wish you all the best.
Obviously, Africa must unite in order to have a chance in the fourth industrial Revolution. Uniting doesn't mean anywhere in the world- the removal of literal country borderlines. It means encouraging and stimulating intra- African trade. The competition that would result from this, is going to encourage Investors/producers/ capitalists to go into the production of secondary finished products in order to maximize their profits. That could only mean more jobs and development for everyone eating at the table.I 💯 agree with your tour handler.
Its so sad because others don't see it
@@talenttutai449 humans are already wired to Keep their thought process in the same space around their visual periphery. Simply, what they see, is what they comprehend. To think further than that is hard work for many. Glad you understood which my comment meant.
@@kuuku006 hopefully one day the whole of Africa will realise the benefits of United Nations 🙏
Capitalism won’t save Africans. Capitalism is actually what is draining the continent dry and keeping a huge chunk of the population poor. Capitalism needs poverty to survive
Phenomenal content African Tigress. [ I am binged watching your South African videos, and I subscribed.] As an Western, frequently Capetown is shown as an opulent, upscale, Caucasian vicinity. However-I immensely like the intimate communal business mentality of this township. Looks like each proprietor take care of each other. However- the downside is theft and what poverty incurs.[ Like how dude talked about societal ills like: the carnage and xenophobia.] South Africans are ebullient warm folks . God bless that Zimbabwe man in his future presidential endeavors.
Very inspiring. I like the vision of a united Africa without boarders. Its the only way forward for the motherland.
B/S !!Chaos will not Stand/ Unite with your People First and Fix your Country's Problems, Before you TALK of the Unity of HUGE CONTINENT of AFRICA !! Okay It is Waaay TOO Big and Complex for YOU !! LOOK at ETHIOPIA /Sudan/Congo/West Africa never Ending Conflicts.
I didn't know that United States of Africa is meant that a little piece of Africa SA, will be the place where the continent will come to with their families to stay. Call Cape Town Africa once and for all. It looks like Uganda and Ghana already.
Great, then the whole of Africa can migrate to (United States) of South Africa.
Thank you! I enjoyed this video. Your tour of this township was enlightening and encouraging. Our brothers and sisters have a lot of hope where the opportunities seem to be nill. I will contact this beautiful couple to support the wonderful outreach they are doing.
Fascinating .I worked in S Africa during Apartheid (the BAD OLD DAYS) and i visited 2010 Capetown - amazing changes.The biggest problem is of course crime/safety,but,with the Attitude of you guys in this video you will win through.Bless you all.
This is Nairobi's equivalent of Mukuru slums but a little much better than Mukuru, although the Kenyan government is now determined to demolish the whole Mukuru slum and build better infrastructure and housing in it
Oh no, Kenya slums are not to be measured with this. Kenya mukuru are far worse and starvation among those people. Kenya government is doing nothing to help even the closest neighbors eg South Sudan Eretrea or at least Somalia, Kenya never help any country that way.
@@rainbowtrust6347 You must be very clueless about Kenya.
Actually, Mukuru is ILLEGAL. So the demolition is the end of it but some will attempt to rebuild shanties. People there had built on a road reserve. Culture of impunity at play.There is no way any government can provide roads, sanitation etc for places that should not be existing in the first place and are not planned! All planned development in Kenya has all amenities including lower income areas and legal slum upgrades. Anywhere without this is just an illegal settlements that needs to be brought down without fear or favour.
I really enjoyed that from the USA I hope he become A leader one day he will clean up things good video keep up the good work I watch you all the time Love you

Wonderful work you have done in this video. Love, peace and unity.
Great and informative footage of our country in Masiphumelele.... Thank you Sista!
I think the starting point to unite is to refrain from calling each other "foreigners"
@Themba Mabuya. True talk. We are brothers and sisters first.
Then have one currency and no visa requirement for visiting each other
Thanks AT for showing the positive side of South Africa.
@AFRICAN TIGRESS thanks so much for showing this.
It is nice to see such good community spirit. When images of Black Townships in SA are shown they are always very negative focusing on crime and xenophobia - what you show here is the hospitality of the local SAns living alongside other Africans despite what little they have.
Great video well represented by the next President of Great Zimbabwe.
Your kinds are Zimbos. I kinda instantly picked it up when on the video intro when Steady was speaking. Then i heard, "maiguru", "sekuru" then he greated someone on the streets in flawless shona. I love the vibe of that place. Its got such a lively pulse
@Earthly Citizen. 100%🎯. The vibe is really peaceful.
Okay. Now I'm changing my views on South Africans. They're not as xenophobic as they're usually portrayed, if all these Africans from other countries can be living in peace like this. Thank you South Africa for treating our brothers and sisters from other African countries well.
😅
There are provinces that are Xenophobic,there r nice ppl as much as there r bad ppl,you just have to know that not all South Africans r Xenophobic but there r those who r Xenophobic.
@@spicefix_cooking ...Unfortunately this was before the rise of Lux's Dudula, which has already tarnished the image of SA again. But I still have hope for SA.
I see a lot of vitriol in the comments. I noticed some non South Africans are gleeful at the fact that such a rich country like South Africa has slums and South Africans are claiming it is majority foreigners (from Africa) who live in those slums.
We need to stop this internecine wars. As an African I know for sure that people who live in slums have rural homes whether South African or foreigner. What we need to do is push our respective governments to lift the rural economies so that people will not have to flock in cities looking for meager jobs and end up living in squalor.
Even USA have slums
then you will be destroying food security becuz cities most are built on the least fertile soil
@andrew ngumunyu. 100%🎯. Couldn't agree more. The rural/urban migration has to be dealt with. Some decent jobs and other opportunities need to keep rural communities positively engaged.
honestly speaking, To have large number of poor people from all over African countries is not good for many poor south African, that's the reason you end up having so called ' xenophobia' because those poor south African end up fighting for same resources with another poor person from another African country, someone can say " live together ,you're African " , what about Biafra citizens live in Biafra and south African live in south Africa, if Zimbabwean build Zimbabwe there will never be a need for Zimbabwean to travel to SA...even in issue of crimes, several weeks ago, Zimbabwean guy arrested for killing about 7 south African women, how should south African respond when crime is exported from another country ?, if crime is committed by south African then you can say" is south African problem " , another guy speak about united Africa and another guy from Nigeria see himself as Biafra not as Nigerian
Some are really here pushing crime. Last year 4 people from Zim mind you 2 were women were arrested in Musina carrying bowbs. They were going to blow an ATM.
Crime knows no nationality you must know that.
Thank you we are being taken for a poes
You said mouthfull most African countries are poor ,South Africa ain't rich either but it just better that is one thing other African countries don't understand they think SA is rich
Great to see a more balanced view of South Africa.
More informal shack settlement than township.
Also literally no basis for claiming this informal shack settlement is the "safest" township in the country.
This is what I want people to also know about us we still have a long walk to freedom South Africa has different faces we are not only cities but we also have rural areas where there is zero discrimination or xenophobia
Can't advise my worst enemy to visit SA. Aside the tremendous crime rate, poverty inequality, SA is the world's capital of HIV and AIDS
You black SA are the only slaves remaining on earth
Thanks African tigress for this beautiful video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your channel is amazing. I keep learning new things about Africa. Keep up the amazing work🏆⭐👏🏾
About time, I last visit SA back in 1998 after Nelson Mandela was freed, I fell in love with the country and I realised that South African people are so fortunate that they don't need to travel out abroad as they have everything they need in South Africa whereas other African countries they had to go abroad for survival, I said to my British friend who came with me to visit SA that all African countries should unite in love and peace, be free to travel inter within African countries. Oh, I cannot wait to see that my dream will come true one day! African countries will become ONE country wealthy country in the world and no passport or visa is needed.
Passport is forever needed anywhere on this planet. We need it

Thanks African Tigress... Your CZcams channel is a modern and practical expression of Pan Africanism. Your tour guide for this episode where also inspirational. Asanteni Sana
Karibu ❤️
This place brings back memories from 2008. Visited an orphanage there. Great people doing great things. It's electric.
This man's energy and love for Africa and her people is infectious. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing your journey! This is amazing 🤩!
There are people earning as up to R30 000 living there but they just choose to stay there...coz they support their families in the Eastern Cape
Am one of them 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@AFRIKAN WALKER. Thanks for sharing that knowledge, so we appreciate the people more. We certainly should not judge o book by its covers.
This is facts, never underestimate people from informal settlements. Some do have money, they have mansions in the rural areas
My cousin who is a taxi owner stays in khayelitsha has about 8 taxis and can afford a proper house but chooses to stay there because of the township environment😂😂😂
@@X-ManGuy Makes sense same applies to Kibera in Kenya. Some are actually not poor and the area itself is a booming economy in itself even though it is an illegal settlement. Government even built them homes but some have rented them out and gone back to the shacks. The dynamics of these slums/informal settlements are not simple/straightforward. I see people throwing words on slums and I am like I wish they got the full picture. NGOs even lie about Kibera statistics just to get funding, and show the worst spots to paint a pathetic picture or use old clips and photos.
Even after watching the video some people are still missing the point! Why can't you just see how united and happy most of these people are?
exactly
I love these blogs. I learned so much about South Africa. Thank you Am a Jamaican living in Canada.
Thanks a lot for this content, I appreciate so much. I do love South Africa from Côte d'Ivoire.
That brother and sister are leadership
Beautiful township friendly south Africa 🇿🇦😍
Another great video. That Zim young man spoke the truth about African unity. It’s a must!
We must unite in Zimbabwe or Kenya good idea.
We must unite in Rwanda.
🇿🇦🇧🇩 I Love My South African Xhosa Wife Nocwaka Ngoqo and My Children More Then My Own Life Event I can't survive whiteout Them please just tell them to visit me in Bangladesh As Soon As Possible please 🙏
South Africa, the US of Africa! Thank you SA we know you are facing problems of your own but most of you are still welcoming
Such a good insight for surrounding communities. More work is needed.

Love you too
I use to stay there 12 years ago i almost didn't go for 10 years i miss there
what a warm feel all round. They gave you a royal welcome.
Did you hear the guy from Biafra talking about Xenophobia? Thank you African Tigress for Africa and the whole world can see that South Africans welcome foreigners and live with them in harmony. This township of Masiphumelele has people from all over the continent, Ghana, Biafra, Nigerian, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Lesotho, etc. You will never find that in any African country.
Africans love each other so much. We do have our tribal differences which is bad but hopefully it will get better. I have seen this in The Gambia 🇬🇲 in their second capital Serrekunda different African and Caribbean nationalities living as brothers which makes me a proud African. The future seems good.
@@rabdujaiye7941 Nice to hear. Where are you from?
The Gambia has Africans and the rest of the diaspora from all over living and working together.
@@mola3845. Nigeria and you?
@@rabdujaiye7941 from Gambia but currently in Europe.
African Tigress 💪🏻, you are one of a kind..showcasing our beautiful motherland Africa..
The side of South Africa they don't easily show. Thanks a lot.
Wow! From Malawi you in Masi now.bYou just pass by my place.
I love this.
Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The tour guide awesome he's a genius 👏🏾
Interesting place with beautiful looking people. You are correct, love is the foundation. One answer is the children. Teach them writing stories, exercise, chess, creative skills and they'll be leaders...The mountain looks so majestic. I love this video. 🌞 🌎 🌙
