Just so you all know...for those of you who does not know the TRUE history....in 1950 South Africa was STILL a British colony. South Africa only became a republic on the 31st May 1961. We still answered to the king of Britain in 1950.

My grandfather was born in ‘45 he grew up around this time. I am deeply saddened that there are people in these comments who think it was all puppy dogs and sunshine back then. My grandparents worked so hard just to have opportunities that their white counterparts were freely provided with. My grandfather had to suffer degradation and contempt simply because of his race (something I also experienced personally when I attended school in a predominantly Afrikaans area). It seems that some would love for things to “go back to how they used to be” forgetting that as bad as things are now, they were never good for some, and in other cases were far worse. My grandparents were born into a world where they expected nothing more than being a working class for the “superior whites“, all while being forced to be grateful that they were part of “the civilisation of savage natives”. Imagine how that must have felt. Today I am a university student about to complete my degree in fine arts, something my grandfather could never have dreamed of. South Africa today is not a perfect country, in some ways it is terrible and yet I count myself privileged to have been born here and to have my stake in this beautiful land.

The entire Zulu nation has praised the apartheid system. Don't accuse whites of oppressing your black ancestors just because you are unable to keep up with whites in the economy. You suffered because you cannot compete. Whites never get things handed to them. You certainly are not qualified to speak on behalf of whites like that. You are the architect of your own poverty.

Honestly spoke to people who didn't even know apartheid was a thing until Fw de klerk said he was gonna end it. If you think whites in SA are racist you clearly don't understand what apartheid was. It was a fake reality that good people believed and lived with. Hence why they voted to end it in 1992 when asked (go google 1992 referendum) That being said, whites miss a country that was well run, powerfull, and effectively perfect to live in. When they see how pathetically the ANC fails to do anything or how the people are blantantly fed lies and propaganda about how "evil" white people are then obviously they would wish for the past. Even back then black people had better homes. They had no rights which everyone agrees was awfull, but they had food and even medicine

An interesting fact about historical South Africa is that the white population was fairly large, maybe larger than many people know.........at one time, it was 20% of the country, just the white settlers and their descendants. Which suggests South Africa wasn't that populous at one point, and the black population has grown a lot in the last 70 years.

Idiots. P.S it’s not big or clever to bring Wars into the argument, the USA is a vast country with massive reserves of men and materials so you can afford a bigger military than most countries, there is no comparison that can be made, and if you insist on bringing war into it we can examine the Americans War records, I would be happy to educate you on that nasty little point.

metal matter, why the personal attack, all I did was express my opinions, but you decided that the only way you could reply was with an insult, not a very good one, but still an insult. Have you been to any African countries recently? I haven’t but my South African relatives have, and they say it’s a shit hole, Rhodesia is in the middle of what can only be called a mass murdering spree, the coloured people are exterminating the white farmers, and so many other African nations are in turmoil and/or civil war over natural resources, gold, diamonds, oil, copper, and most importantly to the USA uranium, don’t get very far building and maintaining nuclear weapons without it. India might have a space programme but don’t have running water and sanitation for a large proportion of it huge population, India’s railways are the oldest and most overcrowded in the world, and all the time they are in a stand of with Pakistan over some strip of land only they care about, even threats of using nuclear weapons, Bangladesh is the poorest or close to the poorest country in the world, with little in the way of any infrastructure, Uganda is still trying to recover from the reign of Idi Amin, or should I say the rape and repression of Uganda, Kenya is trying hard to stop the poachers destroying the last of the wild elephants rhinos etc, a situation not helped by American Big game hunters I might add, even Kenya struggles to feed cloth and support its citizens. Zimbabwe has only just got out from under the thumb, sorry fist of Robert Mugabe and his thugs that kept him in power. Rwanda Burundi, the DRC (democratic!!!! Republic of the Congo) are always involved in skirmishes, battles and massacres (mainly between Tutsi and Hutu tribes) I could go on but it would take forever. Let’s turn our attention to the USA who at present have a President impeached, a nation divided by racism, gun crime is rife, homelessness soaring, veterans being denied treatment for various problems like gulf war syndrome (doesn’t exist according to some of the hierarchy) PTS (it’s not PTSD anymore, at least not in the United Kingdom) leadership that denies climate change and just want to keep pouring millions of tons of pollutants into the eco system, and citizens that don’t know how to walk, it’s always jump in car, even to go to the local shop (store) again pouring pollutants into the air and everyone else’s lungs, a political election system that allows a person to be elected President even though they didn’t get the most votes, I believe it’s referred to as the “popular vote “, that’s a clever system, allowing the less popular person into office....NOT. A country founded on gaining independence by employing mercenary tactics, you would not have won that war without the French mercenaries, your lucky they didn’t turn on Washington after our defeat, and if we hadn’t already been at war with the French you DEFINITELY wouldn’t have won, America was also founded on the mass murder of the indigenous people, the native tribes that were all but destroyed and herded like cattle onto reservations and repressed, even today they are seen as inferior, but in actuality they are the rightful owners of the lands we call the USA, not the settlers or migrants but the indigenous people. Again, I could go on all night, but it’s not worth it, I am probably writing to someone that dutifully follows the American way of “USA,USA,USA, and so on” without a thought for anyone except “USA,USA,USA,USA,” oh, one last point, who really killed JFK????? CIA, FBI, drugs cartels, Russians, Cubans, the Bush brigade, or just some lone American, failed by society, and killed the best president the USA and the world has ever seen, but of course he had to go because he was trying to “make America great again” (sound familiar) he was trying to bring down the walls and divisions not build one wasting resources that could be used so easily to build schools, hospitals, welfare programs assistance etc etc etc. Ok, that’s me finished my rant, for now, let’s see how you respond, with a valid opinion or counter argument, or just plain old personal insults, and if it’s going to be an insult a) come up with something better than your original one, and b) DILLIGAF. Have a nice day.

The British were to slow, too stupid to understand that "God's country" was a stupid illusion and that they should have done more for education and democracy and not idiotically assume anybody would accept apartheid that long. I was there in 1963 and it was quite clear that it was going to fall apart. I wish the country and people all the best. PS. your babbling about the Americans makes no sense.

For anyone who's watching this and thinking "some things were better back then, everything is so bad now", just remember that this is a PROPAGANDA film... They're not showing you the people getting beaten for walking on the wrong side of the street or the awful working conditions of, as the film puts it, "non white" people. Things were not better back then. It's easier for government to provide for their people of they only view 'their' people as a portion of the population, not everyone who lives in the country. It's very easy to complain about our government as they are now, but consider the mammoth task they had on their hands. Consider how they had to readjust an entire nation in a finite amount of time, while still struggling against the systems they tried to overthrow. Apartheid may have ended but it's effects haven't. Even the current electricity crisis harkens back to the apartheid Era equipment being adopted. Bottom line. Don't be fooled by jolly music and pretty pictures and think that things are worse now.

That is of mixed European and native origin" That is to further say the descendants of African and Asian slaves brought here by European settlers- many of whom fathered slave children by the women they enslaved. 11:40 "To a large extent they form the working class of whatever district they live in" What a coincidence! 11:54 "In the old days, the farm labourers danced on the grapes... singing old Cape songs...but those days are gone forever" You mean slavery, baas? Also, love how virtually every mention of "the people" or "South Africans" is implicitly talking about white people. Which checks out for a European settler colony, I guess.

When & where has the British empire atoned to people of Bengal for its "share of horrible actions" there? The US for its share done against Indigenous North Americans? Any of the European empires to African people across the continent and the diaspora for just the transoceanic slave trades even?

Being mixed~Hawaiian~Asian, I answered ‘probably never,’ as I was not the least bit interested, actually insulted, if I had to declare to be an ‘honorary white,’ on the visa application, in order to enter South Africa. Needless to say, the uncomfortable silence was deafening, as everyone squirmed in their seats.

Now many have erected shacks in the back yards and rent them out or have gone back to their former shack homes and rented out the who house.

Shanty towns were torn down and proper houses were built. Go check out any housing in a formal black area built by the pre-94 government, it is miles better than anything built post 94! It was built to proper standards! This is basically true for anything, comparing pre and post '94. Give the Devil its due, pre 94 could plan, execute within budget and to proper standards and maintain whatever was built. Post 94, is there for all to see. The other day a book from the same era crossed my path. Pictures of the all black universities built in the 1960's and 1970's until '94. In Venda, University of the North (Turfloop), in Kzn, ... World standard and quality infrastructure. It was absolutely beautifull, perfectly maintained. Was it used to uplift, enable, skills development? If I remember the slogan was 'liberation before education' shutting down those who chose education, very often violently, leading to many black on black deaths for choosing education.

Whites were settled in South Africa more than a century BEFORE the Zulu arrived here - this country was built by Europeans - and is now being destroyed by Bantus. Stop believing the narrative that the corrupt, communist, ANC spews. The Bantu had their own lands - where they were far happier than in today's South Africa. Forced "diversity" is a disgusting perversion against nature.

they can carry on all they want ; harking back to when they were in power for a brief time frame . history reveals them as the intruder - our ancient kemites warned us about them eons ago . they are the tamahou , created carbon beings . they have no claim to south africa or any part of the world , including EUROPE. their motto , by deception, we shall rule . It is because of their subversion , one example is the use of communist marxism , tavistock mind control , etc that the fabric of a once godly and highly afvanced people have been eroded to the point of no return . unfortunately, this pandemic is their latest reset . they will be totally in charge again come next election . these are the end times which the ancient african prophets of the holy scriptures have been warning us about .

So much kak in this comment section. So many times, I thought I should comment but already too much said. Too much hate. Too much misunderstanding. I'm one of those, supposedly privileged, "whites". Born in the 70's right here in this magnificent piece of the world. My combined bloodlines go back to pretty much every source, from ancient North Africa, Tunisia, Malta, Egypt, etc as well as Holland , France, Ireland and England. I guess I should consider myself lucky but I don't. You see... I had no idea, as a child, what was going on. I never discriminated and was raised to be respectful no matter somebody's background. Only to judge anyone on their actions here and now. I certainly never, knowingly, benefitted from someone else's hardship. What a wake-up adulthood has been, finding out there was such a downward spiral starting. Albeit from "liberation". Once I was old enough to vote, I proudly welcomed "democracy". Like millions of other South Africans, I am still waiting for it to arrive. We went from a system that oppressed the majority to a system that oppresses everybody, democratically of course. All smiles and waves to the foreign countries who helped force the issue and then bailed. No training. No transition period. No supportive advice and nurturing for these new rulers. Just, there ya go, now you da boss, bye. The pendulum swung and those, gifted with a thriving economy, in every sense of the word, clicked straight into oppressing, neglecting and lying to those that voted them in. Have done ever since. How or why the majority is satisfied with this "liberty" is something I will never understand. I mean, they must be satisfied, right? They keep voting for a party that has ruined this country to the point that not a single comparison between now and "before", isn't yet more evidence for their greed, corruption and general ineptitude for the task of running a country. The poor are poorer. Unemployment is higher than it has ever been. So are inflation and crime. The qualified brains that should be lifting us to new heights, if there were any positions for them, are all fleeing in droves. Our borders are a token and undefended line in the sand over which an endless stream of "liberated" refugees streams in daily because even this shitshow is better than what an extra decade or two of the same thing did to their "bread basket". We have a cabinet almost twice as large as the next biggest globally and still the economy is in tatters. Still the army is a shadow of what it was and our police force constantly have their weapons stolen, whenever they aren't writing off police vehicles or taking bribes. Govt institutions like Eskom, Spoornet, SAA, Post Office etc etc are all broken bottomless pits, needing cash they should be earning to fix problems they should not have. All this while they earn more per month than the average citizen earns in a decade. I could go on and on but you get the picture. My question to everybody that commented here, forget about going back in time. That is narrow minded and silly. We want... we NEED to move forward - I'm sure all sane people can agree on that at least. So the question is, how long are we going to allow the ANC to keep oppressing us? They do not have our interests at heart. If they did, the prisons would get more than half the cabinet immediately. So how long before we tell them that we, as a diverse nation of dissatisfied citizens demand that they either step aside and let real democracy take over or we as a single nation demand a referendum to remove from power those that cannot do the job they are handsomely paid to do? A true meritocracy, where honor and ability are rewarded. Where failure is not forgotten and forgiven for a Streetwise 2 and T-shirt.

Those foreigners that rant on about how prejudiced or racist we were, never lived in South Africa during Apartheid...Never having the threat of losing by means of theft or destruction that which was built over time through sheer honest, hard work. "Swart Gevaar" was a worrying aspect of our lives because we were the First World minority and anti-communists who preferred not to be swamped and dominated by Third World people's in our own country. We needed to maintain certain control for our survival AND the country's prosperity. Upon perusal of the current state of affairs, I rest my case.....

It does exist in that it is the form of English spoken in SA. It is predominately British English but there are many foreign words borrowed from other languages. Notable from Afrikaans like Braai (BBQ) and Bakkie (pick-up truck). It is on par with Australian English, Canadian English, US English and many other versions.

Yes, the short term used by me had the potential to be missunderstood. The intention was to express that english is not 'the white language' of South Africa, as many seem to think. And while I agree with your assessment that SA english speakers mostly sound like british such, it also means they hardly have a typical sound of their own, like fx ozzies or kiwis.
