Was capturing some old home movies from VHS & came across some old programs recorded from SABC 1 & 3. The first lot I estimate is from about 93 & the second half are probably from 96 based on the Musica advert where the year is mentioned. The nostalgic amongst us will enjoy.

@caramazzola2399 I was born in 99. I have no idea how it was in the past so I make a habit of asking everyone. Black white Indian and coloured. And they all say the same thing. The only issue back then was the police brutality. Otherwise everyone was seen to. Propaganda is the reason we hate eachother so easily. Simpler times were in the past because technology has ruined life as we know it. If you can't see that as a world wide truth then you live with blinders on
