    Salute to the lady for hustling hard out there. She's a bus driver, runs a food stand & contributes to the radio station giving recipe tips sometimes at the beginning or end of her shift at the bus company. All she wants to do is make money. Very inspiring to anybody trying to create something against odds.

    As a expatriate South African of thirty odd years my advice to all immigrants is to start life all over again in a small town and grow with the town, my wife arrived here two years ahead of me and was adopted by the small town folk who made it easy for us to adapt after coming from a big city, good luck and Welkom.

    We immigrated from the Eastern Cape. We are in our seventies and have not struggled to integrate at all. Best decision of our lives. The only advice we would give is this: when you leave South Africa, LEAVE IT BEHIND YOU and embrace your new country's culture. We love NZ, have no criticisms. We cannot wait to become full citizens. Thank you Aotearoa for allowing us to come into this beautiful land!

      In my N.Z. workplace some White Sth Africans considered Maori racially inferior. Many were ex-cops and wouldn't cut the mustard as cops in N.Z. and were accustomed to being Inspectors in S.A. but were merely on the bottom rung in N.Z. They often arrogant pricks who were keen on assaulting other staff and "clients," and sparks would fly if a more senior Maori officer would give orders to an ex-cop Jaape.

They are a very staunch, proud people with a long history and now many feel displaced since the fall of apartheid.

      Wooly Zizi when you have personally experienced the horrors of lived in South Africa, you will have the right to make comments like this. The white people who did well there were those that studied, understood business, worked hard to make a decent income and invested wisely. Since the takeover of South Africa by black leaders, the country has fallen because the Communist driven, extremely corrupt ANC government have plundered everything they can. South Africa Airways has gone into liquidation while it's managers paid themselves millions! Municipalities have gone bankrupt. Hospitals are in serious financial difficulties. ESKOM (Electricity supply) is bankrupted. The list is endless. The government racist BEE (black economic empowerment) has all but blocked whites from getting jobs. As a result, the standards of life has plummeted. Crime of all kinds is completely out of control, the police are constantly being caught for corruption and in some parts of the country unemployment is as high as 90%. Farmers are being murdered daily and corrupt president Ramaphosa says its not happening. Apartheid ended many years ago and the 'majority' now run the show. They have had ample time and opportunity to build the country into a successful nation but they have failed dismally. The results speak for themselves. You go live there for a year and you will see for yourself that what is happening there has nothing to do with apartheid or white rule but everything to do with ignorance, low productivity and creeping Communism. Then you can comment in all honesty. And if you are an ex-South African living in NZ, I'd ask why did you not stay there?

      So could this have been a strategic damping down of white birth rates, as a way of implementing the Kalergi Plan?
      So that the Turks, a temporarily secular, semi-westernized nation could re-infiltrate the eastern end of Europe, because Germany especially was running out of men due to WW II.
      Re-infiltrate just as the Ottomans did in the 1600's, except more stealthily.
      Europe, always the cheapskate, is now pumping a shitload of money (collected from working taxpayers) into the Muslim and African hordes. Unemployable, illiterate, useful only to disrupt civilization and create chaos, just like Kalergi planned.

    "they tend to cluster together" :-) yup there is some truth to that. But part of it is that any immigrant to a new home settles where they land, and newcomers are uncertain of what to expect so seek out ex-Saffers, and that becomes habitual. (We consciously sought to settle where we were not in a Saffer community, but chose wisely and many followed us instead.)
    So few folk have been shot at outside of ZA, so we are commonly a little traumatised and find solace in mutual understanding. I am so 'bleery' happy that I have not had anyone shoot at me in the last 13 years. Auckland is home, it is truly where my heart is.

      I've listened to people of different origin complain about dutch behavior in the Netherlands, while they did not realize my culture was exactly the same. So I got an insight into how foreigners view the germanic behavior. I must say in general it is very misunderstood. People assume entirely different intentions by germanic people than what was actually their intention.
      It is a bit arrogant of anglo-saxons I think to assume that just because you are white, you must perceive the world the same way as them. Somehow they seem to have less issues with say Chinese, Japanese or Indians behaving entirely different.

    One thing to note. They had all left South Africa because of the crime.
    The school age ones were amazed when they arrived that you could walk down the street by yourself in daylight or at all after dark, let alone by yourself after dark!
    You just didn't do that where they lived.
    Yes they did look sideways at our darker skinned people when they arrived, which I think is understandable, given their experiences.

It is difficult to get on the property ladder, also as a new immigrant, if you cannot bring a hefty down payment with you. New homes are constantly being built but cannot keep up with demand. Something else immigrants are probably not told at embassy info evenings is what it is like to rent here. Typically you need to apply online with 2 references and of course they prefer NZ references. It can be hard to get a good place with a responsible landlord/property agent. They are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Expect to pay a lot for a modern build with double glazing and heatpump, in particular in Wgtn or Akl.Auckland prices are through the roof. Renting is tough, for the most part you cannot keep pets. You may get the home filthy with an overgrown, unkempt garden but have to leave it thoroughly cleaned, garden weeded and maintained.You have an inspection 4x year where the property agent photographs every room, the garage, exterior of the house. They want everything clean and tidy, lawns mowed, garden weeded eyc. It is very intrusive. You can find yourself without a home at short notice. The renter has little protection. The law entirely favours the landlord and many Kiwis have multiple houses as investments which they do not maintain or fix. Repairs are often not carried out. The law changed recently such that you are now permitted to hang up pictures but unlike other countries, you are not encouraged to think of a rental property as your home, there is next to no security that you can stay there longer term, there is little you can do to get a landlord to fix anything that needs repairs and the landlord can enter your rental anytime after giving 48 hours notice. I've lived in many countries and nowhere had such awful conditions for the renter. So it pays to keep all that in mind when weighing up a move.

      Also I can't see any political solution to what South Africa is facing today. When wealth is as strongly divided by ethnicity it is very hard to avoid populist politics ruling the day in any country. That will lead to bad government. South Africa is not alone in this. You see the same in South America where they jump from one populist government to another, never getting society on the right track.
      I am sure things will work out in the end. I just don't think it will happen in a generation, which is what will matter for most people.

      @apokalypse 2016 The biggest problem is that White South Africans, because of apartheid could possibly viewed internationally as a White Supremist race of the Ku Klax Klan ideologies.
      The Suidlanders is a White group in South Africa undergoing training in order to defend farm properties which is believed to be under attack by blacks in South Africa. It is not clear whether the attacks is criminal intent or politically motivated.
      Neo Nazi Alt Right White supremist Islamophobia movement is an international movement.
      The Suidlanders could possibly be seen connected to this movement by the European community.
      Therefore i agree with you that it is quite possible that the European world may not want to grant political asylum to White South Africans based on apartheid's White supremist ideologies and the possible link to the Neo Nazi Alt Right White supremist Islamophobia terrorists organization.
      What makes it worst for white South Africans is that Brenton Tarrent the shooter of the Christchurch massacre of Muslims is being investigated to a possible connection to the ALT Right movement.
      If there is a Suidlanders link to this organization, it is definitely not helping White South Africans internationally
      Ernst Roets of Afriforum is presently in USA lobbying for support to stop the expropriating of the farms and Simon Roche the leader of the Suidlanders is also there for. I leave that to your imagination.

      @@zororondigger3778 Actually, if you do some research, you will find that apartheid was a Sunday school picnic compared to life in any other country on the African continent. There is a very long list of violent African dictators, from Austria to Auckland, many of whom committed some of the worst violations of human rights known to mankind.

    I've commented on here before about South Africans. I've known alot growing up in NZ. They are good people... hard workers. I've nothing but good things to say about them but one thing... they're really racist towards each other. When I was with white SAs all they'd do was go on about Black SAs. And when I was with Black SAs all theyd do was go on about White SAs. They have bad blood between them. All I ask is they don't bring that hatred here.

    • @hynjus001

      The racism tends to be context sensitive. You'll notice that black south africans have no issue with white new zealanders. And white south africans have nothing bad to say about maori or islanders. During the 1995 world cup in South Africa, there was nothing but respect and awe for Lomu, for instance.
      As far as I can tell, decades of very bad political arrangements have artificially created enmity between the different groups in South Africa. Politicians, old and new, thrive on a divide and conquer strategy.

    Just came across this CZcams video for the first time...... whilst the video gives a fair reflection of experiences of ex-pat South Africans in New Zealand, the question I have for the producers is....... with reference being made to the 'South African community' I am curious to know if it is only white South Africans that migrated to NZ? Or is this video meant to be only for white South African viewers?

  • @TheKarldb

    A bit odd how this snip portrays only how a certain segment of the South African population is represented. Perhaps there is a more complete perspective to be had ?

    • @chrissmith-td3iu
      @chrissmith-td3iu Před 5 lety

      There is no other perspective. The majority of emmigrants have already integrated into society. These people interviewed are already way past their prime and cannot integrate, thats why they are the only perspective. Most people integrate, get on with their lives and enjoy the opportunities of both the host country and the country they left, both of both worlds. Just because you emmigrate does not mean that you cannot go back and do business, when things get bad you then go back, simple.
