Well we can turn those 5hrs...to cosy hours, tell each other scary stories and take time out from technology for a bit ..... It really doesn't bother me lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

All the more reason to stay put & solve our problems. Look @ our fellow Africans drowning in distant seas while running away from home. There's Dudula wherever you go. It's worse for Black Africans. Eskom is ours to fix. If we run away who do we expect to fix it? I'd rather shiver in the dark eMzantsi than face racial discrimination in faraway lands or dr9wn in the Mediterranean sea.

Lucky you for knowing which stage it is on. ESP updates the changes every 5 minutes..

Loving Your vibe Bro , that's how I feel about SA

I'm back home and having a blast

Cant agree with You more, be strong and brave the storms of life. I'm in the same boat , can't wait to come back home , I'm in Australia but miss the South African skies 😊

Add to that the history of racial oppression.

There’s no place like our country. I am based in Germany , however SA is the best

I love hearing stories like this. We have a beautiful country with beautiful people. Yes we have our challenges but which country doesn't? With many more positivity, love and wise choices at the election ballots, we can and we will overcome. I love you my SA people ❤️

@@MrUtnab yes South Africa is the best with Money 💰 but without income is not Best

@@mjjaguar8854 You rather prove my point. Two cleaners who come in once a week is in no way comparative to the full time domestic helper who usually lives on the premises and works from morning until night cleaning a home in its entirety, preparing meals, feeding pets, and looking after children, who is found in even an average income South African home. Artificial grass instead of real grass because artificial doesn't require tending and the associated costs and time. The last time I hired a nanny, which was 10 years ago the going rate was £180 -£250 a week for Mon to Fri 8-6 including two nights of babysitting a month. We also had to provide high quality room and board within our home, an ensuite room, not some sub-standard domestic quarters. Weekend work was paid hourly as an extra and nanny means nanny, no house work included outside of preparation of children's meals. My gardener costs £12 p/h. Nursery fees are not free for 25 hours a week, that's an outright lie, unless you are getting some sort of state handout as a single parent, and even those kinds of benefits have been severely reduced in the best case scenarios or abolished entirely, in the worst case scenario, since the conservatives came to power in 2008. One certainly can have servants etc and live a life of relative ease in the UK, but you have to be wealthy to do so. Unlike South Africa where labour is so cheap that every Tom, Dick and Harriet can afford to hire some poor poverty waged soul to wait on them hand and foot. That's the truth of the matter.

I have always cleaned my own house, dug my own garden and raised my own children

In other countries, people are fully capable of taking care of their own properties and children. That’s not a downside, unless you are inept. No offense, but you kind of just made South Africans sound pretty disassociated from reality. At least the ones who take advantage of the extreme inequality in your country so they don’t have to do chores. Just a reminder that countries without extreme inequality is a good thing. South Africans must lack lots of life skills.

@@marigoldbeam5475 A fulltime maid is not found in an average income home and they cost you much more than you think.

We have freedom that woke New Zealand can never offer you. Someone l know there told me" in New Zealand you don't live, you only exist ".

Yes there are some going back from NZ to SA, but they are relatively few. I know maybe 50 people who have gone to NZ. Some have moved on. Some moved to Australia, some to Canada, but only 3 went back to SA.

Come home, this is our home

@@cccmmm1234 The statistics are up to 400,000 have returned which is quite a few. This is a statistic from several reliable sources.

@@siphesihlesiphe1120 Who said it was? Apparently you missed the part where I said I can't relate to other Africans missing home. Meaning I recognized South Africa as a separate country. I was speaking of Africa collectively , which South Africa was a part of last I checked.

True for some not all. I for one cannot do what they did. Sounds like they made it big there in the space of 2yrs. I mean it just sounds like they already had money before they left and maybe even had a house to come back to. Not the same for everyone

Really? Have you been to the rest of south Africa? Because the local economy like secunda us growing massively. I from that part of the world. Our crime is in proportion to our population.

Asia was not a bright idea...no wonder you came back...in fact..you had to come back because your visa expired !!!

We’re voting them out in 2024.

.....yes, the corruption and greed is a sickening reality and gov. acknowledges facing triple challenges.....poverty, unemployment and inequality. Well, after 29yrs these situations should have improved as they have had time and money to make a difference, especially the latter, despite the wretched quota systems......shame on anc......

75% of Nigeria?! I wonder where you got that 1

Sometimes it is better to keep quite than to embarrasse yourself by showing how stupid you are. Which whole of Zimbabwe is outside Zimbabwe? What you should know is that Zimbabweans only go out to work and to do businesses then come back home. Go to Zimbabwe and see if there is no people. As for south africa there are more than 5 million south Africans living outside as permanent citizens

Ask me I stayed 5 years in Sao Paulo Brazil and travel many parts of Brazil.Sorry to say quality of life and infrastructure is by far better here in SA

My family left for Australia many years ago due to crime and the general degeneration of the country. They will never come back. My daughter left in Oct also due to crime as well as no work opportunities because of her skin coulour. They are sò happy and doing sè well. They will never come back. My youngest daughter and husband also on their way. They can not wait to get onto that plane get leave the lawlessnes and destruction behind. When they are all there I will be the last remaining relative so I will be able to join them there. I love my country but hate the covernemt and what they allowed to happen here. Total lawlessness and not to mention them being the sole reason none of the parastatals work anymore causing havoc with the infrastructure and general wellbeing of the country and citizens. I will miss my home. But I will never miss the mess the government causes us to live in. It is shamefull how they drive people out. But the serious lack of foresight, planning, accountability and logic when it comes to decision making makes life untenable in Soutb Africa

Ive been in Vietnam for 4 years. I was home for the first time 2 months ago and it was amazing being back home. But SA cant beat the affordability Vietnam offers

Well they've made up their mind..I wouldn't come back either given the opportunity to live elsewhere. Visiting, yes but living here no it sucks

Well, we are not talking about those people are we? This segment is about those who went back HOME

@@alicegauteng2358 well im talking about those people

Sometimes that is just bravado- if they are happy where they have moved to, that’s great. But there are costs to pay.

We need to stop illegal foreigners from coming into the country and then start dealing with all these challenges.

Corruption is part of the entire globe, even in the European Parliament : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsWog7l8zLnMnGQ.html

Totally agree with you on that 👍🏽

True. I always say in SA we have visible crimes..jacking, break ins, robbery etc. In NZ, UK, US.... Its more sophisticated crimes which can be covered by some sort of schemes... paedophilia, fraud, underground gangs are way more there than in SA. So I agree with you completely.

Well said.

Amen.

You hit the nail on the head man! My family is abroad and they say if you all the work yourself theres no reason SA will ever be worth it to come back

@@sherwinaugustus74 That's why I want to leave SA so bad and go to a first world country where I can make something of myself, can't do it here when all I get is small jobs and little money... and I was born in a first world country btw but I lack the finances to go back...😭

Brilliant idea. We only want Patriots in SA. The rest can go on a very expensive round trip. We'll welcome them back home. Looking at the UK, Michelle Mone is alledged to have stolen £29m for PPE Covid contracts. One person, over R600m. That, happening when the average UK person has to decide whether to eat or keep warm during winter. The electricty is so expensive. Think some peoples version of the Western world is still anchored on the period of 1990's/2000s geopolitical landscape but they don't realise that the world has shifted underneath their feet.

I'm surprised you mentioned BEE as the reason to leave when the unemployment stats are overwhelmingly in favour of white people. That BEE you're talking about is normally prevalent in Government, SOEs and the private sector who do business with Government.

@@404Learning not true my husband is a specialist diesel mechanic. He was let go due to covid and he could not get a job . Went to interview after interview and they told him sorry we have to employ a black person . Every single company has a BEE score . If your BEE score is not up to par you don’t get the big contracts at the mine . The job does not go to the person who is the best qualified but to the person who’s skin colour is the right colour .

The truth is there is no future for any kid here regardless of color

@@lion_nation that's an extreme negative view. BEE pushed white people towards a self-sustaining culture, this is why the top 100 companies are white owned and there's a huge start up culture in Cape Town, ANC corruption is pushing black people towards the same way, there's a huge hustler culture growing in our communities hence why there's a wave of progressive black people who have begun to embrace the start up culture. This wave of black progressives are key in voting the ANC out, which we have started to see anyways. So, I disagree with the notion that there is no future here. Open your eyes and see what's really happening and block out the noise.

I live in SA all my life. Never knew someone personally that experienced these issues either. Guess it’s about where you stay and who you know.

@@tedxwill interesting.....so where did/do you stay?

@@seanwelch1503 In Johannesburg North (Midrand/Fourways area). Then again, ask someone in Hillbrow, Johannesburg; Cape Flat, Cape Town etc. You’ll get a very different answer. Same goes for the UK I have heard. People in Northern England may share a different experience to that of your friend. Of course SA is more dangerous than most places in the world (on paper/statistically). But the rest of the world won’t give you the full picture, just have to observe the nuance.

Out of curiosity, the 17 victims how many of those were murdered and by whom? I am 45 yrs & have lived in SA all my life I know 1 person who was murdered, while the rest died of other means..

@G T Mngadi Khwela 3 were murdered, 1 was shot and survived, others were held up by gunpoint and had their vehicle or other possesions stolen. These were not petty crimes, if I counted petty crime as well the list would be endless. But as I pointed out in my original post, everybody's story is different....PS, Why do you want to know who did the murders?

That's a small blimp on the radar. I saw teh crime stats of nz and Australia. Shocking for white people. People from abroad want to live here, ì know I live in Cape town

DA is working hard to get Western Cape off the eskom grid. Move to WC when you come back. So many incredible places to live down here

The world is a lost cause no S.A alone.

Michelle Mone is alledged to have stolen £29m from UK tax payers for PPE during Covid. This whilst people are struggling with high electricity bills. The average person has to decide between eating or keeping warm during winter.

@@dot510 So true, and only those who have not traveled think other countries are better than theirs. Western countries don't hang their dirty laundry in public so we don't see their dirty news. For example, in the US many states have no age limit for marriage, and you have many states where 12 year old are married off with so-called parental consent ( mainly white Christians), in South Africa we call that GBV, but no one speaks about it.
