You are a battle hardened soldier, the way you defend this country deserves thousand praises. You have set the bar very high for the AAs who would like to relocate to SA. We will use your family and Blantons as a yard stick for people who should settle and build a future with us. Thank you again for choosing SA you could have chosen any other country.
Very true. We pray that they, and their children, live very long and happy lives here. They have certainly put in the work and done their best to learn and adjust to the flow of this country and let IT be their teacher about itself.
@Firewall of Facts ouch, that hurt 😊 The two situations are not the same as I’m sure you know, however South Africa has been welcoming AAs who choose SA for years especially post apartheid, and will surely continue to do so, one hopes. Never say never though!
Totally agree on the education aspect. My daughter, from SA, is studying in New York, and she is often shocked at the level of general knowledge and lack of critical thinking. I could be wrong, but this is her understanding 😊
No not wrong. There has been a systemic plan to dumb down the populace in the U.S. starting with Reagan in the '80s. Republicans understand that if the population was to educated they wouldn't buy the BS they were selling. First things they stopped funding were physical education and music. Two subjects that increase one's ability to think and reason.
You’re not wrong, I fight people about critical thinking too. The people that run our education system said they wanted a nation full of workers not thinkers and I do see that method working extremely well in the US.
Very interesting points you made here. Currently living in UK and have met a few SAs who move here thinking when they get here they will do well. Unfortunately quite the opposite happens. I'm proudly SA and I know deep down that SA is where I want to end up.
I couldn't last 5 months in the UK, I was in London & Luton, It was a hell hole for me! It's even worse that I arrived in the month of October! UK was a huge letdown for me, fortunately, it was 15 yrs ago!
Thank you Brother Asad, 💯 agree. I am one of those people who will always speak positively about my country SA, I love it. It's my home, and you are right, every country has its own issues.
I love you guys even more. Your political analysis of SA is on point. Indeed, South Africans needs to patriotic and learn to appreciate the beauty of this country.
I was telling my family the same about the murder and crime rate here versus South Africa. I'm glad you brought this up. Gun violence in the US is out of control, and you won't hear about the everyday mass shootings in SA like in the US. 💯
Woow!!! Great content. As South African we are learning how to love ourselves. Apartheid system did not only mess with physical tangible things but also our mentality as black people. We are a young democracy that is growing in leaps and bounds. We are proud of what we are achieving everyday but it's still not easy. We are very resilient (I guess that's just the nature of blacks) Please do visit rural South Africa and see how our villages are turning out. Some places you would swear you are in Kayalami, only paying next to nothing to live there.
SOLDIER !!! Also you were spitting nothing but FACTS in this vlog. Especially about us South Africans. We complain about our country but we don’t know how much better we are living compared to most African and South American and Caribbean countries. Love the new estate y’all live at and yep looks like the same estate Cassper lives at. I was once at one of his house parties dope guy I’m sure he would love to meet y’all. See y’all in May! RANDS IN BLACK HANDS!
Hey Asad. Banking(investment) has a lot of money, the bonus you get sometimes buys you a range rover cash. Doctors at private hospitals, IT specialists, Artisans, engineers, actors and people who are behind the scenes. These jobs really makes people afford all these things
SOLDIER!! Y' heard me. I love you guys I so wish and hope that this joy, peace and happiness you are feeling last you a lifetime in our beautiful country South Africa. 🇿🇦 Shouting you out all the way from the south in Richards Bay - KwaZulu-Natal
I just love you guys so much, keep on preaching to us, even Kevin Hart told us that we are portraying our own country too negatively, and tourism is one of key goals but we are not marketing ourselves currently.
I can't speak to the marketing budget of the SA gov't however I can tell you SA is marketed in the U.S. The two nations that visit SA the most are the U.S. and UK. I see billboards promoting visiting SA all the time.
We or sad Boers that want to see black people fail, the funny thing is most people fall for it especially how they the propaganda media channel like enca "stratcom media" always focusing on negativity.
@@zipporahyourexplorer4891 Well since i'm visiting in October with TRSA, that would make the statement I made 'last year' accurate correct? Next year will be the permanent move. Be sure you have all of the information
I’m from Los Angeles I just visited Tanzania Kenya Uganda Rwanda South Africa Ghana and Nigeria and loved them all. Joberg was great so was Cape Town very beautiful and Durban the people were very friendly. Everything u said was spot on bc crime in the inner cities here gets crazy sometimes, I plan on moving to SA or Uganda/Kenya. SA has all the amenities of the US and much cheaper. I tell all Africans to stop talking bad about their countries bc u are really reinforcing white supremacist talking points, deal with the issues internally but propaganda is HUGE, so be mindful. Love your channel family u just got new subscriber.
Hi Family u right SA have 95.33% Literacy Rate and US on average 79% and 21% of adults are illiterate. President Mandela requested that the youth go back to school. Because education is power and no one can take away your education
@@lozi4163 I feel the same way about most U.S. metrics and have said so often. For instance the level of violence in the U.S. Much less other important things like healthcare and education.
I don’t understand why put down the US to lift up South Africa? South Africa can be great with out this ridiculous statistic that don’t mean a thing. How can a country of 52 or 55 million compare to a country or 400 million? Big up and respect to SA, but your insecurities showed up in this comment.
@@soulrebel2006 USA government does anything to put down Africa,I get were you coming from and I honestly think we need to ignore America but the people who put down USA have a good case, USA government is committed to show Africa in a negative way itself, why defend it? The government of USA doesn't even think black people are equal to them just like the damn white people we have here
Hi Uncle Asad & Aunty Adrienne 🤣🤣 I love the new titles. Anyway, I didn't know that I needed this video. I love how you guys speak about SA. I pray that you remain this way. I also love that you do acknowledge that this isn't a perfect country, but you also acknowledge that no country is perfect. I used to be this positive about SA, but I think I started to focus too much on what the naysayers on mainstream media and on social media say, and started to focus on the negative. So thank you guys so much for reminding me of the beauty of this country. Keep up this energy. By the way, I have followed you guys since the A-Team, and I do not regret it 😂😎 Love and light!
Thank you guys for creating a nice video. You welcome home, S Africa is your home, and Africa is your continent welcome 🎉🎉🎉 we are proud you 😂😂😂 soldier
Preach brother Asad, Preach! Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def was complaining about the same thing, South Africans complain too much. They need to travel more to realise how great it is to be in this country. Good job Doc and aunty Adrian 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
keep up the good work , the weight thing is a motivator for me, i need to lose weight as well. coming from california we lived a modest life and made decent money and was still not living the dream, but better than most. the taxes was crazy.
This conversation should be happening around a fire 😂😂😂 it’s entertaining and educational at the same time. Always a great joy to hear from you guys. 🤍
Beautiful estate 🤩🤩.I'm a soldier lol I watched to the end.🤣 I want to give a shout out to Dennis Barnes from your hometown of New Orleans. He broke the US college record. Accepted into 125 colleges and universities and up to $9 million is scholarships!
I laughed when you had the " cop pull up behind the black man psychosis syndrome kick in". It would really be hysterical if it wasn't so true. I know cause I was illegally pulled over at least 10 times in the 15 years that I have been driving. I have since, for economic reasons, sold my car and stopped driving. The money I save from the illegal revenue collecting ticket scam, car repairs and outrageous insurance cost I can now come to check you out in SA. Peace and love
Thanks, Dr Asad for changing my perception about our country SA. I will start to love this country SA. We grow up knowing that America is the land of milk and honey.
It's really interesting to hear your perspective of America, because we were always under the perception that America has the money and the jobs and all that, but it's interesting to hear that similar to South Africa, the experience is dependent on economic status. If you have money it's great, if you don't there is still crime and poverty, and poor schooling. Like South Africa is an amazing place to live if you have enough money to live in safe neighbourhoods, afford private schooling and private healthcare, as well as Jojo tanks and solar panels or generators. But if you don't have money, it's really tough. And it's interesting to hear that America is pretty much the same 🤔 I'm sure I read the other day that Chicago has a higher murder rate than Durban?? But like you said, it's not something that's really talked about.
Soldier!! I just finished it. I’m from Detroit and now live in Tampa. I can easily say both of these cities are high on crime but like you say, the perception of USA is it’s the gold standard.
You don't have to move US, I had to let go my Construction career, to study Forex, sooner I ll be earning Dollars while I am in my beautiful South Africa 🎉❤
I am so happy to find ya'll! Yes, I watched all 35! I'm from Lake Charles and it's been my dream to visit Africa and I've considered relocating. A lot of research is involved and the reasons you've listed for moving to S. Africa are the reasons why I would choose S. Africa. The infrastructure, the diversity with the feeling of belonging because you are in Africa, the ability to stretch my dollar, and on and on, and I can get a job! I've loved listening and watching and I've subscribed. I'm about to watch the rest of your videos! I appreciate what ya'll are doing! Thanks!
Uncle Asad please reach out to Podcast and Chill with Mac G because while I love their show, they really don't have a good perception of our country. I would hope you could share some of the ways that you think SA has a better quality of life than the US.
@@asadelmalikphd You're definitely no small fry, remember you're a Witsie BIG deal...they probably haven't heard of you yet or we haven't suggested you to them yet. They'll contact you, trust me.
Good to see one of our own having come back home. I know SA still has some way to go in terms of development, equal opportunities for all, security, etc, BUT home is home, That's the feeling AAs need to have as their pillow every night...
If you invite more black americans who share similar views with you to move to Africa, then we can build a safe haven for every black person in this world. We can reclaim the land and economy; and give every African some dignity where s/he lives in the world
I sent this to my wife and told her y’all funny like the younger version of Rick and Cynthia from the Black Address of The Gambia channel😂 Shout out to yall💪🏽 *EDIT: As I kept watching I noticed y’all referenced them😅
My faith in God doesn't allow me to curse my country. I always bless and pray for my country. I declare by faith what I want to see, prosperity,peace, safety of women and children etc. One thing for sure we always get what we say. I'm a soldier 😅
Tell them Brother Asad! Am right now in Washington DC, has higher murder rate than Jo'burg or any city in SA. At one time it was the Murder Capitol, before it was taken over by Chicago.. Keep preaching my Brother and my Sister.
brother asad. you are living the life with the most beautiful woman god has created. sista adrien. humblE, smart with a whole humour. Peace• love• respect 💦💨🔮
Hey doc, nice video. The cost of living in the US has risen, and listening to Biden announcement for a shot at reelection, I was like why 😅. In a few years, I believe the US will be in worse condition. SA is doing good by hooking up with China and Russia, and with plans to form their own currency similar to the Euro, SA may be a power house. I made well over $150k last year, and honestly, it doesn't feel like I made that much. It seems like in the US, we are spending our money on bills and getting out of debt while SA, you don't have to worry about what you spend.
How to lie through stats. At a personal level 47 years old as a south african living in 2 biggest townships South Africa I haven't experienced murder around me in my whole life. Stats are questionable.
Oh and by the way, I forgot to type "soldier" cause I watched all the way to the end 🤣 And yeah that 14 000 murders and driving over dead bodies on the N1 is hilarious 🤣🤣
Dr.Asad your right we are missed up as far as always looking over our shoulder this what the West has done to us. I enjoyed this video you always make me laugh. Please do a stand up comedy. Yea, it's never ending cost in the States.
All along we saw it as honesty and just being truthful but I get it now. Thank you, I'm one of those that talk about the bad happening in this country.
Glad that you have decided to highlight this strange South African psychosis of negativity. My take is that it originates from white South Africans’ anxiety over their place in society and it filters through in our media which black urban elites (myself included) have accepted unquestioningly. Travel and interaction with people like yourselves has awoken me to this subtle game being played on our young society.
I didn't realize Black South Africans took this stuff seriously. Sorry to hear that. Though I guess it's not surprising. I think that this is pervasive across the world outside of Western Europe and the Anglosphere.
I am a South African and I while heartedly agree with this statement. White South Africans have a crazy amount of paranoia and anxiety and it filters down society because they own the media so the way things are reported is very lopsided.
Youvare so right bro, I hate the way we can see through this. We just sing along like parrots, copy catts like monkeys. When they say the country has gone to the DOGS. They are calling us dogs.
Guys like Dr Asad and the Blantons are actually unwittingly helping us more than the are helping African Americans. South Africans will begin to value the country better.
Thanks for a positive video of Africa and you are correct on S.A. having higher literacy rates than the U.S. I long for the day when ALL African nations nationalize their resources. A nation's resources should benefit the entire country not simply the individual who owns the land. And for the record, I watched the entire video SOLDIER ......LOL
@@asadelmalikphd Uncle Asad. Maybe a topic for research at your institute, when the leeves broke from New Orleans and aftermath and measure put in place since.And how to setup a disaster management organization. Durban is going to have more flooding in the future due to climate change.
I live in LA and $600,000 was a 2 bedroom 1bath ranch. I was at the gun range the other day and some older guys were saying in Malibu they are having a problem with erosion. The filling everything in with rocks and concrete. I'm from Kentucky and you can get a remodel house in the hood for under $100,000. Prices are going down but now you'll be penalized for having good credit for purchasing a home. They are changing how the finance house's now.
In terms of the helper situation you saw , in my experience a lot of the older helpers tend to be like grandmothers or aunts to the kids , With me for instance the helper we had when i was a kid even today feels like we are related and she's my gran, and you know how grandmothers are with their grandkids.. they treat them more special than they treat their own kids, lol that helper probably would've even wanted to carry her down the stairs and the kid refused , exactly how grandmothers are with their kids a lot of older helpers are like that with the kids they look after here .
but of course there are also those families that treat their helpers like slaves. Some don't even share crockery with them. Those snobs can easily require helpers to carry their kid's heavy school bag.
@@lindazondi3321 yup there are those too But that happens everywhere around the world too its not a South African unique thing.. . I was speaking on what i have seen mostly from the older helpers from my experience and the families of people i know and how we relate to those helpers today who mostly are like family, for instance there's this other old lady family friend from soweto who told me about some family that lives around where i live in the north that she used to work for , she was treated so well she just wanted to go and see them, said she hadnt seen them in so long, so asked if she remembers the streets and i can drive her there and hopefully they still live there, we found the house , and the kids she looked after "adults now" were so happy to see her the one daughter cried , and now they pay for 1 of her grandkids school .... so i personally just speak on the family like dynamic with our helpers .. as for the bad treatment i cant relate but pretty sure happens everywhere not just in SA
Very educational ❤love your content my people, we blessed to have y'all in SA, keep doing the great work u doing...I soo love both of you and your family❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Asad I am a black South African myself, the cars that you see people drive here, they make me feel bad for my life all the time. I just keep telling myself that is just credits just so that I can cope. I work in Riverclub, a suburb behind Sandton, trust me, is bad
Dr. Malik you are so right....everyone driving Mercedes and coming out of apartment complexes like Greenstone estates. But I found out that most of those people are struggling to pay it off. That or fraud. Didn't realize you were from New Orleans. I just gravitated to your accent and the way you carry yourself. Born and raised in NOLA here. We need to collaborate sometimes. I have property up there in Joburg and Capetown. Man why you left USA we need people like you!
You are a battle hardened soldier, the way you defend this country deserves thousand praises. You have set the bar very high for the AAs who would like to relocate to SA. We will use your family and Blantons as a yard stick for people who should settle and build a future with us. Thank you again for choosing SA you could have chosen any other country.
Salute
Very true.
We pray that they, and their children, live very long and happy lives here. They have certainly put in the work and done their best to learn and adjust to the flow of this country and let IT be their teacher about itself.
It looks like they are all choosing SA though... just my observation
@Firewall of Facts as long as they don't bring their problems here it's fine... just come and shut your mouth
@Firewall of Facts ouch, that hurt 😊
The two situations are not the same as I’m sure you know, however South Africa has been welcoming AAs who choose SA for years especially post apartheid, and will surely continue to do so, one hopes.

No different than those that want to "make America great again".

Why SA ? we came to Live the Dream with no stress and great infrastructure. the people are great and the food is way better and less TAXES

Good to see one of our own having come back home. I know SA still has some way to go in terms of development, equal opportunities for all, security, etc, BUT home is home, That's the feeling AAs need to have as their pillow every night...
Soldier! Loved it.🤗
Just discovered your channel like an hour ago and already a subscriber, I love it here
Welcome aboard!
I'm soldier....Ya'll Heard me?! LOL - love this guys - I can listen to you all day!
Bam bam bam
Casper wont mind. he is a pretty nice guy!
You should take your youngest to Blueberry Beacon at the Blueberry square in Johannesburg. It's a fun restaurant where kids get to be kids.
If you invite more black americans who share similar views with you to move to Africa, then we can build a safe haven for every black person in this world. We can reclaim the land and economy; and give every African some dignity where s/he lives in the world
First time watching and I really enjoyed the long video while working👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Greetings uncle Asad and aunti Andriene,you are one of a kind beautiful Black family.

*EDIT: As I kept watching I noticed y’all referenced them😅
Thank you so much for this segment, again, informative, thought provoking, entertaining and more. Love from the Garden Route.
My faith in God doesn't allow me to curse my country. I always bless and pray for my country. I declare by faith what I want to see, prosperity,peace, safety of women and children etc. One thing for sure we always get what we say. I'm a soldier 😅

Tell them Brother Asad! Am right now in Washington DC, has higher murder rate than Jo'burg or any city in SA. At one time it was the Murder Capitol, before it was taken over by Chicago.. Keep preaching my Brother and my Sister.
You always lovely every time, never a dull moment witg this family. Love you lots still and forever ❤️
brother asad. you are living the life with the most beautiful woman god has created. sista adrien. humblE, smart with a whole humour.
Peace• love• respect 💦💨🔮
😂That part when you guys thought you getting stopped by police 😢 it was so sad yet so funny 😂😂😂
You are my neighbours. Kyalami Hills my area.😉
Hey doc, nice video. The cost of living in the US has risen, and listening to Biden announcement for a shot at reelection, I was like why 😅. In a few years, I believe the US will be in worse condition. SA is doing good by hooking up with China and Russia, and with plans to form their own currency similar to the Euro, SA may be a power house. I made well over $150k last year, and honestly, it doesn't feel like I made that much. It seems like in the US, we are spending our money on bills and getting out of debt while SA, you don't have to worry about what you spend.
Man I can’t wait to take my wife to Africa.
We coming this summer for about two weeks.
Ya heard me😂
Thank you for opening my eyes on what to say and when about South Africa. I was so negative about my county. Love you family.
How to lie through stats. At a personal level 47 years old as a south african living in 2 biggest townships South Africa I haven't experienced murder around me in my whole life.
Stats are questionable.
I watched the whole the thing I love it❤️❤️ it felt short.
❤️
Oh and by the way, I forgot to type "soldier" cause I watched all the way to the end 🤣 And yeah that 14 000 murders and driving over dead bodies on the N1 is hilarious 🤣🤣
Bam bam bam
Dr.Asad your right we are missed up as far as always looking over our shoulder this what the West has done to us. I enjoyed this video you always make me laugh. Please do a stand up comedy. Yea, it's never ending cost in the States.
All along we saw it as honesty and just being truthful but I get it now. Thank you, I'm one of those that talk about the bad happening in this country.
Yes Family, thank you so much for choosing SA and stay blessed and safe
Luv luv luv you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad that you have decided to highlight this strange South African psychosis of negativity.
My take is that it originates from white South Africans’ anxiety over their place in society and it filters through in our media which black urban elites (myself included) have accepted unquestioningly.
Travel and interaction with people like yourselves has awoken me to this subtle game being played on our young society.
I didn't realize Black South Africans took this stuff seriously. Sorry to hear that. Though I guess it's not surprising. I think that this is pervasive across the world outside of Western Europe and the Anglosphere.
I am a South African and I while heartedly agree with this statement. White South Africans have a crazy amount of paranoia and anxiety and it filters down society because they own the media so the way things are reported is very lopsided.
Youvare so right bro, I hate the way we can see through this. We just sing along like parrots, copy catts like monkeys.
When they say the country has gone to the DOGS.
They are calling us dogs.
Guys like Dr Asad and the Blantons are actually unwittingly helping us more than the are helping African Americans.
South Africans will begin to value the country better.
Cars are a big status symbol in SA. People could even be buying a second hand one, 7 year down payment with a balloon payment

Soldier, very informative Dr Malik 👌🏾
Preach Brother, your 100% correct they speak from a place of emotions and u gave them facts.
Thanks for a positive video of Africa and you are correct on S.A. having higher literacy rates than the U.S. I long for the day when ALL African nations nationalize their resources. A nation's resources should benefit the entire country not simply the individual who owns the land. And for the record, I watched the entire video SOLDIER ......LOL
Love the walk and talks!❤ shout out to the BAG family. Soldier 💯 yaherrdme

@@asadelmalikphd Uncle Asad. Maybe a topic for research at your institute, when the leeves broke from New Orleans and aftermath and measure put in place since.And how to setup a disaster management organization. Durban is going to have more flooding in the future due to climate change.
I live in LA and $600,000 was a 2 bedroom 1bath ranch. I was at the gun range the other day and some older guys were saying in Malibu they are having a problem with erosion. The filling everything in with rocks and concrete.
I'm from Kentucky and you can get a remodel house in the hood for under $100,000.
Prices are going down but now you'll be penalized for having good credit for purchasing a home. They are changing how the finance house's now.
Brother Asad, where have you been man. We have missed you on these streets. Great to see you beautiful couple again. 😊
In terms of the helper situation you saw , in my experience a lot of the older helpers tend to be like grandmothers or aunts to the kids , With me for instance the helper we had when i was a kid even today feels like we are related and she's my gran, and you know how grandmothers are with their grandkids.. they treat them more special than they treat their own kids, lol that helper probably would've even wanted to carry her down the stairs and the kid refused , exactly how grandmothers are with their kids a lot of older helpers are like that with the kids they look after here .
but of course there are also those families that treat their helpers like slaves. Some don't even share crockery with them. Those snobs can easily require helpers to carry their kid's heavy school bag.
@@lindazondi3321 yup there are those too But that happens everywhere around the world too its not a South African unique thing.. . I was speaking on what i have seen mostly from the older helpers from my experience and the families of people i know and how we relate to those helpers today who mostly are like family, for instance there's this other old lady family friend from soweto who told me about some family that lives around where i live in the north that she used to work for , she was treated so well she just wanted to go and see them, said she hadnt seen them in so long, so asked if she remembers the streets and i can drive her there and hopefully they still live there, we found the house , and the kids she looked after "adults now" were so happy to see her the one daughter cried , and now they pay for 1 of her grandkids school .... so i personally just speak on the family like dynamic with our helpers .. as for the bad treatment i cant relate but pretty sure happens everywhere not just in SA
You are being ultra defensive....
My favorite family❤!
Superb Convo 🧡🤎💛
Hugs 🤗
Very educational ❤love your content my people, we blessed to have y'all in SA, keep doing the great work u doing...I soo love both of you and your family❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Asad I am a black South African myself, the cars that you see people drive here, they make me feel bad for my life all the time. I just keep telling myself that is just credits just so that I can cope. I work in Riverclub, a suburb behind Sandton, trust me, is bad
😆
First time on this channel, and I subscribed right away. Love you guys ❤️
SOLDIER!
I am glad you are enjoying your new space.
Thanks for sharing the scenery. It's giving me ideas.
Bam bam bam
Soldier, I heard ya! ;-)
🤣🤣🤣soldier.
So Netball is a woman’s sports and South African is hosting netball World Cup later this year in Cape Town. From 28 July to 06 August
Bam bam bam
Lol! I watched from start to finish😅🤣
Dr. Malik you are so right....everyone driving Mercedes and coming out of apartment complexes like Greenstone estates. But I found out that most of those people are struggling to pay it off. That or fraud. Didn't realize you were from New Orleans. I just gravitated to your accent and the way you carry yourself. Born and raised in NOLA here. We need to collaborate sometimes. I have property up there in Joburg and Capetown. Man why you left USA we need people like you!
What up my brother?
SOLDIER. "You heard me"!
I love this Family ❤
Thanks Doc that was eye opening - perception is everything
Soldier 😂
