I'm so glad you mentioned media imperialism! We South Africans are far more immersed in America's culture than America is in any culture other than their own, and it's very sad to see South Africans look up to a Eurocentric nation as the "gold standard" of culture when their own is so rich and beautiful.

Orania is not bigoted their culture has almost been obliterated, this tribe are unique and don't want what little is left of them to be assimilated into the melting pot. They live peacefully and are self-sufficient. They bought that land in a semi dessert remote area. From my impression they are very humble, hard working and industrious. They are staunch Calvinist Christians that also want to keep their integrity of their beliefs. Their separation is not without precedent, many threatened cultures all over the world have chosen to live their own way of life. Rastafarian for example.. Why not go there and find out for yourself before believing the race bating media and their preconceived notions. I guarantee that all you who claim they are an enclave of bigot's have never gone there. Start opening up your minds to embracing all different people without prejudice. If you can't embrace them leave them in peace.

If you really want the most holistic experience of South Africa i would suggest you visit all the 9 cities of each province. You will be blown away by the absolute contrast in people, culture, way of life and environment. I told myself that if i never get the opportunity to travel to another country again i will be fine with that as this country has so much to offer. Looking forward to watching all your videos.

It reminds me when I was young in 2000 and lived in London for a year. Even back then, there was this perception of Europe being this magical place where everything just works perfectly, but when you get there, you realise there are problems too, and the culture is a lot more different than I had imagined. Though I'm a white Afrikaner, I found I had more in common with the black immigrants in London than the white natives. it's really worthwhile to live in a different part of the world at least once in your life. It broadens your perspective, and it really teaches you to appreciate things you used to take for granted. Europe was a great place to visit, but I will never be a European.

Unfortunately alot of people have their guards up and are not willing to open up to one another because of various reasons. But, we do know how to care for one another. Crime is an issue that affects many BUT the vast majority are good people. The poorest people are the most humble people. Racism is alive and well BUT not on a massive scale though. Speak to people and see how they warm up to you once they start trusting you. Lastly, there is so many things to do in Cape Town, you could literally just ask anyone lol

Four years ago I temporarily relocated to Central Europe after quitting my job and that was majorly uncomfortable but it came with peace of mind. Now we've permanently emigrated to the Netherlands and I will say this is different knowing the permanence of it, this time around I'm learning the language, trying the food, trying to follow politics and even pop culture - I will say, in order for one to fit in and allow a chapter to unfold - you have to completely immerse yourself, especially when there are major cultural differences. All the best. You're doing great.

Excellent video. I think you'll be quite surprised by Durban and Kwa-Zulu Natal (I'm from that neck of the woods) and even wonder if we're in the same country. Cape Town is quite unique in SA because of how "international" it is, and is part of the reason I stayed after I moved. The race thing as a social construct also resonates with me. I look Indian but I technically have some European heritage on my mother's side. She's "Anglo-Indian", meaning a mix of British and Indian if she were in India, but here in SA she's closer to "coloured", even though she marks Indian as her demographic. If you were to meet her she could even pass for a well-tanned white person. But as for myself, I see myself as a mix of all things and the colour of my skin is the last thing I think about. I always like to joke that I was born on the internet.

My husband is from Cpt and we’re thinking of moving there to be with our family who are there. Having spent lots of time there I totally agree it’s somewhere with incredible diversity. Not without its challenges but with common sense a beautiful place to be

I'm impressed by how you navigate identity with no confines by exterior biases. It's powerful to see you evolve. You epitomize the progressive generation of genZ. The future we are excited about.

In Durban we have a lot to offer from wild to beautiful beaches and scenery,. You need to visit Maxis Lifestyle in Umlazi to experience township vaabs. Umhlanga is the greatest of them all. Visit our coastline beaches along indian ocean. Bluff is also a beautiful suburb. Zimbali coastal resort will blow you away. UShaka marine world has the biggest aquarium in Afica. Moses Mabhida will help you jump for fun. There is a lot to do in Durban. Don't forget to visit Florida Road ❤😊

Dear Jared, welcome home! Ulapha eMzantsi Afrika, usekhaya ngoku - jy is hier in Suid Afrika, jy is nou tuis - you are here in South Africa, you are home now! My father used to say that the greatest education is to travel - but he could only travel via books, as he was in internal exile during the apartheid years. I have been abroad several times, and I became convinced that Cape Town is indeed a special place. This is a brave thing that you have done, and it can become a lonely venture. I am impressed with your sound insights, especially on media imperialism and the social construction of race, the latter which still very much bedevils our beautiful, multilingual, multicultural country. If ever you are in need of a (South African) home cooked meal, my family and I would be honoured to host you. I was in media (radio) for more than three decades, and am now an itinerant academic. My wife is a former Occupational Therapist turned Pastor, my firstborn son is an Attorney-at-Law, my secondborn son is a Business Manager, and my lastborn son is an IT and Film and Media graduate. Our ancestry is as diverse as yours, but it is rooted in Africa, so there would be much to discuss. Once again: Wamkelekile, welkom, welcome!
