Driving vehicles IS NOT CULTURAL. It depends on which white industry has an influence in your country. South Africa has British. You obviously have American influence.
Danko. Some people are slow
Just to add on, driving style in Cameroon and most West African countries is French system, this covers all former French colonies. In South and east Africa it's british system.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can't stop laughing it's so funny. OMG.
Kahleni hawu😂😂😂😂 they are culture shocks for real... if you look at the word more in line with economics than with amasiko... the word culture in that context means a way in which things are done within an organisation or institution or region.
wait what, short school dresses are part of their culture? Did you just say that? Its just what the student wants, it has nothing to do with culture
🗣️🎙️No, it's not what they want no is it culture. It's pro Caucasian feminism movement. Feminists also came up with woman's pants/trousers 👖 as a challenge to men.
She should have asked first 😂
The country has 9 provinces and each is quite unique, you must come back and experience them it will give you a more complete picture.
I've been living here all my life, and as far as most of us are concerned there's Gauteng, North West, KZN, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and then Northern Cape/Free state (We don't care about those 2).😅😅😅😂
South Africa is a big country, try to say if you are staying in Sandton, say in Sandton, South Africa. You can't be all over South Africa
There's history behind our women's day. It's not just a public holiday. And we do commemorate. Maybe you just didn't see any celebrations where you were at.
You need to travel around the country to have a proper perspective.
Each province is like a a different state. We have a different climate, culture, languages and people. We are so unique and diverse as a country.
South Africa through your eyes.
Thanks for the experience
Thank you too for watching.😊
when will everybody get over the "shocks" that they experience in South Africa 😳
Ask again
Our women's day celebrated because there was a women's strike to the Union building on the 09 of August back during apartheid, they were striking for women's rights
Which country are you from ?? For US south africans it's a cultural SHOCK to see people in West African countries , especiall Nigera casually taking a SHIT on the side of a busy 'highway '
THIS! STILL SHOCKS ME TO THIS DAY!! THEY DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SEEING SOMEONE SHIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!
It because south African manufacturer their own car we don't import a lot
Lying...no south african car here.south only assembles the German n Asian etc
Nah not Zulu people only instead all black South Africans darling, we in the cities 🌆 for work but at home in the rurals we have cows 🐄, it’s a must have 💁🏽♂️,not all of us are Zulu’s loud and arrogant 🙄.
Lol, okay 😅
Ag shame, did it bruise your fragile ego to hear a Cameroonian visitor who spent some time in KZN mention the mighty Zulus? 😂
Brilliant!
Thank you for taking us on that ride ❤❤❤
We drive on the left because we don't copy everything americans do. We are creative and independent in thinking.
Our cars(right hand drive) and roads system was adopted from the British .
You people really amazed me,botswana, eswatini, Mozambique,lesotho zimbabwe Namibia all do what you saying . You worship/ warship us 2 much.
They don't know us. West Africans have to learn us. While we all do the same things, it is SA they want.
Come back and get more experience I think u were here for 2 days lol
Just stumbled across your page.. have to say its beautiful see South Africa from the perspective of an African traveller.. just makes me feel proud to be South African... hope you enjoyed your stay in Durban my hometown... peace and love
Interesting take you have on our country. Thanks for the visit. I hope you come back 🙂
The toilet thing haven't seen in it over a decade. I feel you learnt about only one Province, the Zulus. There are wealthier Provinces. We have 9 Provinces in total. Visit again ❤
Keeping cows is African tradition. You will also find them in huge numbers in zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, ethiopia, to name a few. If you want to marry a girl, you pay 3 female cows or more to the family. Of course these days they convert that value into money.
You saw cows in rural towns and villages. You were clearly in the countryside of KwaZulu Natal province , you wouldn’t see a single cow in our cities and urbanised towns like Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg etc
In SA we no longer use those toilets where you have to use a lever to flush. They are old fashioned and only in facilities you will find them. Most houses in cities use the ine with a press button. The buttons are usually two, one to flush urine and another to flush faeces.
Only in newly built homes...
My goodness, did u have to use that disgusting f word.
Most countries that drive on the left side of the road have the driver on the right. This includes the UK and Ireland. It is because I is easier to see the oncoming traffic. Also, you went visiting the rural. You can not compare one part of rural SA to the developed parts. Unfortunately its becoming a typical African country.
But SA has always been a typical African country. I think it's developing to be honest.
Social media is showcasing and exposing so much of SA that some people have not seen, especially the privileged who've lived in suburbs all their lives.
Beautifully put together Jabi🥰🥰
Beautiful ☺️ Jabi. thank you so much for sharing
Thank you too for watching.
You need to research our country's vast cultural differences more and travel across the country to understand that where you are is very different to other parts of the country. Happy travels❤
They just rush to do stupid you tube videos without thorough research
Impressed by your consistency Jabi Kety
Cows in Southern Africa is wealth/business, not just traditional nowadays...
Ma'am every cultural group has cows. Where did you travel to in SA?
She's speaking from what she saw😊😊why yall busy being rude
@@henda1538because every cultural group has cows 🤷🏽♂️
These "cultural shocks" are trivial. There are bigger differences when it comes to politics and peoples outlook.
Good 👍🏿 findings 💪💪you are doing well.
Thank you ☺️
It's interesting to see somethings that are just sooo normal, being a cultural shock to other people😂.
Second person I saw who is shocked about potatoes being common😂😂
pls do some more research about black South Africans and cows
Wena your re so full of energy. South African in the making. I wonder what are they saying in DRC
I pray I get to visit DRC some day
Enjoy please post more, tell me more about your restaurant experiences, check Bros or Ocean Basket
When I was a school girl our schools never allowed us to wear short skirts. They even used to send you back home if your skirt was above the knee. These days...😢
there are many countries that drive like South Africa
nice video ❤❤❤🎉
Cattle are an African thing, not cultural thing! What? You don’t have cattle in Cameroon? How is that strange???
I think they are more expensive (to own and 'maintain'/farm`) in many parts of Africa. And goats are relatively more affordable and easier to find and farm. So I think the shock was more how everyone, and not just the super rich, farm cattle in SA
Cattle rearing in east and Southern African regions of Africa is a cultural practice but in other African regions like West and central it’s usually Muslims that keep cattle.
You are real village girl with village mentallity!
Thank you
"Everybody has a cow"😂😂
Courage cheri.
Those students are surely from Buea. Find cam east. U will have alot to say. Keep going class prefect for me❤. Deh is with u
Your culture shocks are not culture, you should have said things that shock me in South Africa, you guys everything is culture even it is not
It was a shock to her. Because it’s not a culture-shock to you it doesn’t make her opinion invaluable.
Come on jabi so you say we have no cows in Cameroon, are you really fucking serious... me I have always thought we have cows all over in This GLOBAL
Britain and Ireland have the same road system
Bathong what is potato soup 😢
Ao tlhe forgive her we know o bua ka mash potatoes.
@@bensedisho ke mo itshwaretse 😂😂😂
Your video is very different, you say that SA drives on the left side, many African countries drive on the left because of colonization, the UK drives on the left, and you never say where you are, Cape Town, South Africa, Durban, South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa, the Johannesburg, South, Africa, santon South Africa, East London, South Africa, Bloemfontein, South Africa, SA is a huge place where are you? I’ve seen hundreds of videos on South Africa and I’ve never seen a cow
lol she said she was in KZN
Interesting
Lol, I don't understand why a toilet flush button would surprise you. 😅Anyway thanks for a nice video
school skirts have to be 4 fingers from the knee , for all school
Even Namibia, 4 fingers above the knees 😅
Nice video sister
The Cameroonian just made me subscribe becauseeee my Chère compatriote 😍😍😍😍😍🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Oh wow! I am happy to receive a subscription and comment from you.💃 I do follow most of your videos, especially the ones you did in Ghana.🥰 Your strides inspires me to keep on.
I have no words😂😂😂
that flushing button is mostly found at old buildings however, old flashing system i think it's better than the new flushing system...its more durable and reliable for public spaces
Okay, thank you for the info.
Okay. Culture shock, electric shock, etc.
Thank you, ma'am.
Our SA fan😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for being our number one supporter.
A good friend of mine is from Yaunde...she is a Bamuleke...
We use the UK road system... same with India, Australia and most of the former colonies(commonwealth) of the UK
Hi Wena you are southafrica 🤭🤭🤭
Ask you are wrong every village have cows..Venda, Polo kwane , Freestate, Natal... Hamaskraal.
The road thing is easy to figure out!!!
❤❤
Potatoes? Who’s family did you visit, a potato plantation?!!
We make our own cars, if you want to import a car you will have to pay tax equivalent the current value of that particular model, this is designed to discourage citizens from importing & support our economy by buying South African produced goods
Hey banna hey banna so driving car on a different side is now a cultural shock?
Eish Thabang behave bro. The whole Africa ba tla mo go rona.
I think you should see more provinces. Your research is not very thorough in some topics
It seems to me you are confused about the word culture. You are confusing Western influence as culture.
Please what is the definition of culture?
@jabikaty2613
Definitely not what you associated with our customs,social behavior, and ideas.
You need to investigate our culture more. Then you'll know what a Western influence is that's frowned upon or questioned by the natives vs their culture.
@@sipnog3528 Still you have not defined what culture is. Please kindly define what culture is.
Nothing cultural about potatoes.
Not sure about the potatoes????
I went overseas and driving on the other side was not a cultural shock because I read a lot and I expected this.
I did read before going to SA but I read mostly about the provinces and tourist attractions. I think that is why I had the driving shock.
I think regardless of how one reads, one is bound to face some shock.
What strange about South African cows 🐄🐮 is that even during the night 🌃 times you will see them roaming the waste area or street chowing pickN pay plastics.
I have never heard of this one.
Our women day has a reason y is on 09 August.. our women had to march to union building fighting during apartheid please make a proper research hun
Europe use the same system
😅 ankr wena you always eat fish us here in south Africa we eat cow meat the whole South Africans stop saying zulus we are the same here in south Africa our cultural food almost the same
Everyone has a cow, really?
I think you visited a very small in south africa. Visit more areas
Thank you my love wish to visit Yaunde sometime.
I have been to Yaounde but I have never set to explore their cultures and tourism potentials. I hope I get the resources to do so one day
@@jabikaty2613 pleasure
You are beautiful 🌹
How are you
What old houses did you visit??? Jeez, old flushing toilets???
How is this a cultural shock. Driving is not culture.
COWSSS😂😂😂😂😂
As a visitor to South Africa, surely someone must have informed you that almost all over the world every country has it's own unique ways of living, dining and travel. As much as you found it strange here, so too do we experience similar experiences in other countries we travel to. It's a case of adapt for your stay and revert to normal back home.
You so beautiful
Journey with Jabi, please do a thorough research before posting because some of the info you just said is not true.
Do why did you come here???
Short dressess are not part of our culture mam. The length of the dress is determined by the strictness of the school and or the circumstances of students. In areas where people don't have a lot of money you may find they can't afford a new dress every year as the girl grows. In other circumstances the students try be fashionable and make their dressess short and end up being sent home by the school for promoting nonsense. Other schools the teachers will undo the seams with scissors to make the dress long as punishment.
If you do say so, but I have seen some wearing short skirts even on TikTok videos, and they don't look poor.
Regardless I wonder why the school authorities allow that length in school. Because there are other societies who also do not have enough money but their skirts are not this short.
That is why I kind of thought it's something they are okay with and it is acceptable.
@@jabikaty2613 The schools don't allow it. It's against their rules. Even though each school sets their own rules they are usually very similar and strict. In fact the ever meddling South African Human Rights Commission are saying it's "too strict" and is infringing on student rights which in my opinion is just nonsense.
As for the young girls that genuinely can't afford a new dress, you can't judge them until you actually understand that it's all they can afford especially in the current South African economy.
Wat content is this
You need to come again you saw a some one's yard not south africa
Ur experience of South Africa is a lil limited different and ignorant....think u need to come back and have a broader experience
You need to do research before making videos this was cringe. Very uninformed
I'm still baffled by the school uniforms
So is it really like a general thing?
And what!
Potatoes as soup Jeez
It seems like so, even when you watch some of their movies you can notice it.
@@nakairuzive hmm that's crazy
@@nakairuzive Thank you for adding more flesh to this.
The schools I went to, mostly it just depended on how long you want your skirt to be 🤷🏽♀️
😅 it was a culture shock for me also when I went to Zambia 🇿🇲 and Mozambique 🇲🇿 how long the skirts were
This is a poorly informed CZcamsr...
Then make your own video. Stop bitching cause you aren’t satisfied with her experience of SA. It was her experience NOT YOURS.
Another boring video
