People have been complaining about beach crowding since Eons before we knew who Lady Sparrow was. 😁
The ridgeback is a indigenous dog from Rhodesia a country to the north of SA at the time.
actually it originates from the Cape.
It comes from South Africa, not Rhodesia.
You are talking about the Rodesian Ridgeback...
This is mostly about Western Cape, actually Cape Town and surroundings.
The Western Cape needs to be independent.
How wonderful to live in those days.
Clean and safe nothing like today.
I'm sure it was "wonderful" for white people and terrible times if you weren't white.
@@mlungisikhambule8194 Well this comment has nothing to do about race. they were just stating facts that it was cleaner and safer in the general community. Sadly the country has become dirtier and unsafe for the general community and citizens. The currency has also got worse... on the 15 March 1982 South africas rand was better than the USD as it was R0.72 for 1 Dollar. Now it is R15 to the dollar. These are all Facts, nothing to do with race.

22:00 " Capetonians are surrounded by beaches, and none of these are crowded" .. I wonder why...
"Whites only" signs all over.
Domkop...Because Black and Coulards were not allowed on the White Domkop Beaches !!!
I wonder if we will ever build this country as clean as that again. Hopefully the ANC remove their corruption and racism
Will never happen in a million years it's gonna be the same for millenias if the people of sa don't vote for change
south africa will never be the same ever again. i think the sooner you accept that the better. this country was nowhere near as perfect as you might like to believe.
@@chulumancoditala6018 If people only tried to make this country better it would be improved incredibly fast. A mindset like yours is the reason SA is crumbling

South African Europeans have never been united as this video makes it appear. Dutchmen have always been separate from other non-Afrikaner populations. BBC videos make that evident. Americans have been quite cut off from other Europeans (including British) since their independence.

@@DraconZa The Whites have been building the economy since 1652. The NP took over in 1947 and excellerated it to become a Super Power. In 1994 it is on the throes of being decolonised and Africanised and ever since we're to the point that we back to using candles.
Funny. My mum would be in primary school. My father in highschool. They would be losing their homes shortly afterward. My grandfather would lose his job for holding a tape measure, because jobs using tape measures were reserved for whites. The cruelty and horror hidden under the fake polished veneer of progress. What a blessing the change has been.
and do you hold this against the existing white people in SA ?
Sounds like a tall tale. Perhaps your grandfather lost his job because of stock shrinkage due to his use of the tape measure. It is indeed a blessing for some that stock shrinkage became the norm these days.
PS. Both of your parents must have been titleholders in District 6, as legend would have it?

Oh rubbish they weren't more prosperous, the nazis that ran South Africa at the time looked after Europeans only and to hell with anyone else.
@@maureenjackson2041 They weren’t Nazis, and the current government is doing exactly what you said, but against whites. They care about blacks only and to hell with everyone else. The farmers are tortured to death and aren’t even allowed to leave, the politicians openly call for murdering them and they have fragmented society so much that no one trusts each other anymore and everyone has to live behind high walls and hire private security. And on top of that, the infrastructure is decaying and the economy is collapsing. So yes, it was more prosperous back then. It was the only country in Africa that was considered first world. But not anymore.
Also, they don’t seem to care that the Chinese are buying up the country, that’s fine somehow, but when whites do it, it’s horrible. Only shows how racist this current government is.
What country is this? 🤔
I think it's South Africa but I could be wrong 😂
The Khoisans
It's amazing what's possible with the right people in charge.
Way better than it is now
jacob kanal for you back then ja
Mtombo Potelwa do you think that the country was much cleaner and Well run?
Obviously way better for someone of european extract, who could easily understand and love themselves therefore take pride in who they were, because every aspect of political, economical and social policies reflected their way of being and doing things. Every other native or non-native culture was absolutely stripped of its essence, vilified at best or obliterated in general. So yeah! understandably way better!
Wrong black live in mansion and drive porch...... So it is better
It's funny, those that say life was better then for whatever dumbass reason forget that those people in power were so twisted they got other races to hate each other. After that psychological treatment, why are you surprised about how people act today... all they knew was how to make it anyway they can when there is no other choice...

NOPE DEFINITELY AFRICANS, JUST WHITE AND BROWN AFRICANS, FACT OF LIFE👍👍👍👍👍
We are European Africans…just like African Americans.🤷🏻
Why is this comment section so racist? South Afrika was only as prosperous as it was because the whites were benefiting from the labour of the others. That's it. If you call the Apartheid era prosperous as well as "the good old times" please just remember why cities such as Cape Town were so "nice".
Also, the whole film is nothing but propaganda and in no way represents South Afrika as a whole. The film is meant to convince the international community that apartheid, in fact, isn't so bad (the whole apartheid thing has always been seen sceptical by the US and countries as such).
Well said. It should be called apart hate
Although mostly true, in this part of SAs history apartheid has not really materialised into what you know it as. That will only come later.
@@CobusLaubscher thanks for the warning
Cobus Laubscher yeah sorry I’m not exactly sure when things such as the groups area act or something of the linke was enacted but the racism definitely existed before it as well as the exploitation of the cheap labour.

The worst time in South Africa for South Africans
The *BEST time for the SMART South Africans. :)
A note to the many (not all) of the ignorant commenters. Apartheid was not instilled till 1961, eleven years after this film. Britain left SA in 1961. The blacks were not indigenous to South Africa. They were brought in over decades from other African countries. The tribes did not get along and Apartheid was begun. Sadly birth control could’ve easily been implemented with incentives given in exchange for a “snip”. Today you have an human disaster of over population.
This film shows a paradise unequaled anywhere in the world.
An un-evolved population has taken over today and of course the paradisic SA is long gone.
It’s deadly to go there now. President Trump has called it a s..t hole, and he would be right.
It’s shameful that this is gone.
In fact "apartheid' was only an extension of the racial segregation practiced under the British colonial regime. Milner and Lagden were the masterminds, as you can read here :www.kznhass-history.net/files/seminars/Breckenridge2004.pdf
"Apartheid" appear first in an election document of 1948. The year 1961 bears no relevance for "Apartheid". It's the year South Africa became a Republic. It left the British empire not the other way round.
David Bell The irony of you calling commenters ignorant. The blacks were in SA for millennia before the whites, despite your wishful revisionism. All the wars fought in South Africa for centuries must have been between whites and non-existent blacks. according to you. The archaeological evidence of black settlements all across the country, centuries before European presence seem to be another inconvenient fact.
If we were taken from other countries than please show me one "other African country" that speaks isiZulu, IsiXhosa, and all other South African languages.

@@channelfree8557 africans are not indigenous to Europe. Still there is a massive popualtion of black people in Eurorpe, they get the same rights as white people, so same thing here.
@Joepie De poepie Thats an oversimplification- If the world belonged to everyone South Africa wouldn’t have such an unequal distribution of wealth. It hurts your feelings to be told the land you colonized doesn’t belong to you, but racism is a lot more than having a wounded ego. It effects every aspect of ones life and can determine your livelihood. Too many Africans are suffering because europeans decided they wanted to steal South Africa for themselves. Their presence alone has been at the expense of the natives of Africa. Now THAT'S racism.

@@babazi Yes, the bantu's presence is a twisted tale. so we have to rely on written record. When Vasco da Gama rounded he cape in 1497 the first bantu he encountered was near the Limpopo river, the current northern border of South Africa. The first contact between whites from the Cape of Good Hope and the migrating bantu only took place almost 300 years later, in 1776, north of the Great Fish River in the area the British named Kaffraria. The bantu areas were incorporated into the Union of South Africa and the bantu population exploded ever since, as you can see from the charts in this article: www.politicsweb.co.za/news-and-analysis/on-the-origins-of-racial-settlement-patterns-in-sa
@@wimkotze7744 history written by the enemy will never be believed by me. Vasco the European invaded Africa. He wasn't invited.

@@babazi Vasco de Gama did not invade Africa, he was on his way to India. The invaders were already settled in Sofala from where they, the Arabs, traded the "free moving" bantu as slaves.
