We Sold Everything and Moved to South Africa | 12 months Later!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- A follow-up to the most watched video on this channel so far. Previously I spoke about how we sold everything and relocated to South Africa half way through 2019. In this video I catch you up to how we're doing a year later. I discuss life on the farm and how we've adjusted and what our plans are for the future.
I also go through a few of the fruity comments from the last video and address some question that we've been asked over the last 12 months.
For this to all make sense please watch the first video here:

Stay safe. I'll never leave SA, I'm staying with my 3 small kids until the bitter end. Whatever end that may be.

Well said Tom. Stem saam
Until the bitter end Tom😂. Such a South African spirit sending love💌 .... what a potential in abundance this country is
Awesome 👌🏽
strange any person of history knows what has happened to the indigenous people of SA,, there and many other places... Yet when the indigenous get the courts and use them against you like you have done by force, death and guns.. You feell type of way .. Strange
Hi Dale - I came back home to SA 6 years ago having spent 28 years in Switzerland. Switzerland is a beautiful country, but it was never "home" for me....... there's something about Africa that just gets under your skin and stays there - for Life 🌺🥰 Enjoy our beautiful, wonderful, quirky country - for all her problems (and face it, every country has their problems) SA is quite simply: uniquely special 🥰🇿🇦🌺
Nice one !
It's called GEES. Mixture of guts, jolling and Brandewyn en braaivleis.
I hear you
Wish I knew what you guys were talking about
This is so sweet!
Lived in South Africa for 25 years from the UK...I am in Australia at the moment where I have been for the last year. BUT I'm terrible homesick for my adopted country and am planning on returning next year... A very special country regardless of its problems
Youre Nuts "Matie..."
I live in the Caribbean. Paradise, right? But I so much want to be in South Africa. We make that long trip every year and have to tear ourselves away to go back to the Carib.
Home is where the heart is.
So true. It is very special indeed. I hope you have a wonderful trip next year.
TAKE YOUR CROWN 👑
Yes return please
I love people coming back to SA. It's so encouraging. Thank you
I came back 7 years ago and have just seen things go from bad to worse. The government doesn’t have a clue. They are not aware how they are being robbed by CCP. Safety is another issue altogether. Fortunately we have private security that is better than the old Flying Squad. They have to be. We can export this talent to California. But wait . The CCP is there too.
ua-cam.com/video/TyVUiINb4Os/v-deo.html
yes many blk indigenous and diaspora with degrees and knowledge are returning.. it is only fare for them to claim their birth rights.
I take my hat off to you mate, I’m moving my family back to SA end of this month after living in the UK for 15 years, every single person moving back helps build that beautiful country👍👌
Thank you for that! I hope your move has gone well! SA has the most incredible potential with a few big hurdles to navigate. Just keep smiling bro, it’s a bit of an adjustment after living in the UK. All the best!
Mooi! Welkom terug!!! Biltong wag!
Dont come back ...Biggest mistake you will ever make..
You must move back and help take the country back from this useless ANC.
Stay in the UK man, SA is f*cked! Sincerely, currently living here...
I'm currently based in Mauritius and trust me, even with the looting that shocked us all a few weeks back, there is no place like home SOUTH AFRICA. I miss the friendliness, the spontaneity of my people, the laughter and the food. I miss EVERYTHING about home!
We hope you can come back soon. 🙋🌞
I also miss SA, but we’ve been living in NZ for 20 years now and it’s the best thing we ever did for our kids. They’ve all got fantastic jobs and income now. I have no regrets and all I expected to happen in SA is now taking place.
@@shazzza9444 yes, my friends love their town parade, with the highlight being more Massport lawnmowers than sheep, beats the Kaapse Klopse any exciting morning.
Good thing you didn't have a business in KZN because many people lost years of sacrifice in one day and many have opted to take the insurance pay out and leave.Be happy youre in Mauritius....
Fozia do come back and help rebuild SA we miss you out here too. Peace!🇿🇦
We moved here from Guildford in the UK in 2007. Despite the problems it's still the best thing we ever did!
How did you keep the women close to you safe?
@@IvanAkinfiev Simple common sense. No different to most other countries really.
ua-cam.com/video/TyVUiINb4Os/v-deo.html
You can live in South Africa in a very peaceful way. It is a mindset. Get up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, listen to the birds, smile at strangers, enjoy the sun, get rid of your TV, ignore politics. It is a blissful life.
Hanle de Beer wonderful comment!! Thank you so much!
I still live in the UK and your advice is needed here too. So much so that I’m planning my return 👍
You hit the nail on the head!....Attitude of Gratitude.
I wake up in the morning and think how lucky I am, just look at what is going on in the USA and UK today.I would not trade this place for theirs despite the nonsence here.
@@stoicwarrior346 I moved from UK to SA and love it here, cannot imagine moving back to the UK.
What a great comment I agree with you. 100%.
I'm from SA and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. It has it's problems but most countries do. I love this place so much!!!😱It's crazy tho🤷♂️

We left the UK 17 yrs ago after 8 yrs there. My wife is French and insisted on coming here and not England and not France. Best decision. Love every min

Enjoy your stay and ignore the Haters...God loves us all regardless of our race.He will protect your family from all the negative energy and bad intends..Stay safe in SA
What a beautiful and heartfelt message!
Yes very nice message
Amen!!! Welcome home!!! Eff are bullies and not to be taken seriously!! We are a nation full of love for one another and satan can't stand this!!!
South Africa. Our beautiful country
Beautiful comment ! Lovely. Well said. The radicals are on the fringes, far left and far right. The centre always holds. Love between people will prevail.
Just what I needed to hear Dale as I am returning back to SA after 10 years in the UK. Thanks for sharing & give us an update.
You are 100% south african. We will stand with all that embrace south Africa you could have stay where you are or you could have moved to any other country in the world but you choose south Africa. Welcome back. You are positive with your family.

There is hope for our land.God watches over all of us. We pray for peace in our land🙏🏽🇿🇦
There is NO hope for SA
If you have to "pray" for peace in South Africa, you are as stupid as a fence post.
I pray for our leaders.
you must pray and act sitting and writing comments wont fix it :) God be with you guys staay safe

I am living in USA .I moved away 12 yrs ago and my homesickness grows every year.I daydream every day that I had the means to go home 😪
ua-cam.com/video/TyVUiINb4Os/v-deo.html
I’ve been in South Africa since 1972. My father was brought here by Highveld Steel, Witbank. Leaving SA has never been part of my vocabulary or thinking. I have been seriously considering of late. Medical being one of my motivating factors.
Same here. 1975 brought out with parents by Consol Glass. I've got my sons out . There's no future here and the idea that ANC will be replaced without a civil war is a fantasy. If you need to stay in Africa try to get into Botswana
@@LucyLane07 I would have agreed with you on the civil war statement a few years back but the youth of SA is our hope as they totally see things differently and the ANC is losing their hold on these young ones to which one might say they’ve had to prove themselves to the youth but failed them dismally. This is where other political parties need to strengthen their value proposition to the youth of SA to actually see a different vote and a changed nation. The youth of SA can change this country they need the right guidance as already they have no loyalties to the ANC and it’s government and that is promising.
ua-cam.com/video/TyVUiINb4Os/v-deo.html
@@LucyLane07 show me a country whith a bright future ?
I totally agree with you that we have to vote differently and we have enough of them!!!!!!!! our country is blessed and has everything so if we can adjust that, we will be the best country we have ever been!!!!!! Thanks Mate!!!!!!!!
Who are THEM ???
ua-cam.com/video/TyVUiINb4Os/v-deo.html
I will be so glad if more people who have moved abroad will come back to South Africa again. It such a brain drain with all of our highly skilled people who had,or plan to move overseas. No country in the world is without problems.
Thanks so much!! I’m glad to be back 😊
My wife and I moved to the UK a couple of years ago and I must say the UK is safe but sometimes the economics just don't make sense. We have questioned if we made the right decision but we are planning to stay for at least 5 years and then review everything. For me the saddest thing is seeing some of my fellow South Africans moving their all savings here and use the same savings to try n get by here. We have no doubt that we will end up somewhere in the southern hemisphere. We also are planning to buy a holiday apartment in SA somewhere along the KZN coastline.
Good luck Freedom, I wish you all the best in the UK for now. It's hard to know unless you give it some time. It is extremely expensive for South Africans to live purely off savings in the UK, unless you have major cash. The interest rate there is so low that it's hardly worth putting it in the bank, so your savings grow very slowly. At one stage I was getting 0.01% interest on a cash ISA I had.
Copy and paste these comments everywhere. Ppl think its better in these first world countries moving from South Africa. Its a huuuge sacrifice. Its expensive and the Zar currency is very weak. Yiu can live a great life is Sa...life is still cheaper. Ofc the major issues are there like Eskom and crime..but atandard of living is still great.
Hi You are welcome to come to KZN. That's where I'm from.Weather is stunning esp winter.
You won't regret. All the best

Thank you for being so positive about our wonderful country and calling yourself a South African. You will succeed. In South Africa you allways, on a farm, make perimeter roads, to be a bullwark against veld fires. Make it right around the property an then, depending on how big the property is, slash the area in half with another road.

Hi Dale, thanks for the video upload, I’ve been following religiously, I currently live in Hastings, England. Me and my partner are moving to South Africa once our house is finished, I’m black and she’s white, and she’s a teacher, she’s just had enough of England and so have I. I’d like to say ignore all the negative comments, South Africa is for every race, I face racism here in England but I don’t put it to heart because everywhere you go on earth these’s good and evil. One day South Africa will prosper, governments change and I’m certain The old people’s club (ANC) will be voted out soon
shoemans82 thanks so much for your comment!! I’m sorry you’ve experienced racism there in the uk. We lived fairly close to Hastings so I know the area. Very glad you’re following along. Please let me know if there’s any questions I could answer and all the best with the move!!
I'm from South Africa you more than welcome to come here with your family hope you'll enjoy
Welcome back home!!! This is where you belong!!!!
God bless
Keep dreaming....
Hi Dale, worry not about the negatives, SA is a great country, that's why all West Africans are here and African Americans just love this country, welcome home Dale, take each day as it comes, by the way good luck against Italy in the EURO2020 final, hope you watch.

Looking forward to cast my vote against this embarrassing government. ANC is an embarrassment to our country. Actionsa looks promising.
Is that Herman Mashaba ? If so I agree with you. And also Makhozi Khoza, is good. Together with the DA they can pull this country right.
@@roybean7166 yes it is Herman.
On ground level action SA is not helping the struggling independent ward counselors but instead wants to run over residents of the community who want to make a difference within their own communities, in short he is doing on ground level what every other political party is doing.
The moment a political party comes and endorses the local community members who run independently then we know we are on the road to success.
But yes, actionSA is certainly the better evil in my opinion although as a mlungu i still think COPE and FF+ are the best we have, but sadly racism stops our masses from voting objectively.
This is africa and us who were born here belong here and we will fix and build this continent once we realize who our real enemy is.
Nah ActionSA is for DA

You win some and you lose some when you live in SA. Yes the riots showed the worst of South Africa, but they also showed the best. The speed with which communities came together to defend property (and in many places seemingly impossible combinations of white farmers and taxi drivers side by side), and then to find and distribute food, and then to rebuild the supply chain was quite remarkable.
I was in the UK when Lee RIgby was stabbed to death on a busy high street, and what struck me was that so many people stood and watched or filmed it on their phones, but not one person actually did anything (okay, eventually an old granny tried to intervene). And the London riots in 2011 lasted 6 days, wile the SA riots only really lasted 2 days - why, because the SA communities stood up for themselves.
Eventually we recover, as the fanatics on the left and right lose out. The centre always holds.

I would say being in south africa in this pandemic and yes there is alot danger to but there is alot of freedom in south africa and the looting last month I would say that in a time of trouble we stand together no matter wat race love my country

I am a South African and all I can say is that we love those who love us. We welcome people who comes to our country to build. Keep in mind that negative comments could be from those who are not even South Africans. God is reforming SA, join us in prayers. I travelled the world and I tell you that there is no better place like SA other than political discourse that attributes to poverty and crime. I trust that God is in control and all will settle down in due time. Welcome to South Africa Broer!
Thank for the video bro, i am planning to relocate so South Africa as well i am looking forward to it. My family in south Africa has finalized a land claim in Barberton area. The plan is to build a cabin and live off grid.

We moved from the Garden Route to Joburg, and I was very nervous initially after hearing about the crime etc. But I'm loving it - the people are friendly, there's less racism than in the boere dorpe and Cape Town, and it was amazing how communities came together in the recent riots. We are hoping to retire to the KZN South Coast in the years to come, and sad that our son is contemplating emigrating to New Zealand, where the biggest crime is jaywalking apparently. I would miss SA, her people, her quirks, her scenery, her vibe, once she's in your blood, that's it!

Hi Dale if you have got a farm , invest on saffron, In South Africa, saffron (sometimes referred to as “red gold”) retails for as much as R250/g (or R250 000/kg). The hefty price tag is attributed to the labour-intensive harvesting methods followed - from picking the flowers to removing the threads - which is all done by hand
Thanks for the update mate. Good to hear you guys are keeping your chins up in this highly forgettable year. Your video raises a ton of questions but not for public consumption.

We are looking forward to having the likes of yourself and family coming to add value to our fight against inequality, poverty and poor governance in our lovely country.
Be sure to drive around and gaze at our beautiful mountains, busk in the beautiful sunlight and watch our amazing sunsets while sipping the finest wines made locally and sleep peacefully knowing that you're indeed home.
Welcome
Nice one !

this is so refreshing... people willing to invest in a life in SA. i wish you all the best. keep going!
Crime on farms and small holdings is not something that should be flippantly dismissed by stating that you have neighbors who feel safe to have around. Three of my neighbors who live around my residence were brutally attacked before anyone could raise the alarm. And there are countless instances like mine here in South Africa. The golden rule here is have as much security as you can afford, keep vigilant, and go about living as normal. It can be very safe living in South Africa so long as you never take on the attitude, "It will never happen to me." My cousin's husband was murdered in front of her 5yr old daughter when he tried to resist a home invasion. However, even though this maybe the case, still, a great many of us are committed to make this country rise from its painful past and walk towards the kind of future that benefits anyone who chooses to call Africa home. Walk safely......
Remember Rhodesia. South Africa heading down the same road. Pamwe chete.
Hi Dave, thanks for your comment and I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m sorry that you experienced that. It’s an absolute tragedy when stuff like that happens. My heart really does go out to those folks. It’s a fine balance to stay vigilant and also relax and enjoy the beautiful country of SA. I really appreciate your comment. Thank you.
When the crime actually affects you personally and your loved ones, that is when people decide they have had enough and move to greener, safer pastures. Ask any ex pat SA here in NZ.

I am not South African. I like geopolitics(as a hobby), and you life experience perfectly matches what I came to visualize through reading my own analysis. Unfortunately, I have not been able to hold a conversation long enough with a South African. Some seem to be blinded with prejudges and others do not even know about the economic crisis currently happening. They have many problems and challenges to overcome but after 27 years of reign, but is it obvious than a government ruled by the ANC has little to no chance to help the country to do so. Instead, it is one, - not to say the main -, factor of South Africa economical and social downfall.
How could anyone not be aware of the economic crises? & yes, the corruption needs to be dispelled
Wow you sound arrogant.
Truth is we have to keep bringing up all the problems only in the hope of making things better for everyone.
This country is awesome if you are rich and well educated. If you are poor and uneducated, then you are on your own.
This is the first time I have seen your video and my first instinct was Wow you must be crazy then I was filled with admiration for your courage and I am so glad you era here. The whole world is upside down at the moment but I love my country and feel sure there are enough sensible people of all colour to make South Africa wonderful again. Good luck.

Great update! Lots of good points well put. Love following your journey, cannot wait for the five and ten year updates!!
michaelranderson15 thanks Mikey! I could use some of your ideas around here! Wish you guys could visit!
Agree re the harvesting of water. In SA today one must be as self sufficient as possible, water and solar and be connected with your neighbours by swopping products. But it is a good life.
OMG I haven't even watched your video yet and i am stumped, that title alone makes me feel so bad for you, i am sure since this came out in December you must be regretting your decision to move here with your family
I wish we could reach Our Potential ,A Nation Blessed with Competents but Governed by the most incompetent people ...Wish we could sort it out and start to rise above all the Political Nonsense..God Bless South Africa 🇿🇦

We will be happy to have you. Farmers are exactly what SA needs more than anything else. Happy relocation journey and best wishes for your new home and career in my homeland 🎈 My wish for my country 🇿🇦 is that government must step up and help all farmers financially, and bring back all the farmers that were chased out of the country, and protect them by all means. They are very important in everyone's lives and best economic to the country. Farmers should not be suffering things like water, electricity and mobile usages in the farm because this is for the country. More food factories can be reopened and operated again and people can be hired again.
This important gesture needs government to prioritize and step up and help /protect farmers from miserable criminals by all means, because this is what all people need, FOOD and JOBS. Please talk to government and God bless you and protect your family. Wishing you good luck and results. 🌾🌈😇🙏
What you sow you shall reap😉😇 Light always prevails💖🤗 We are the change to make the world/our country a better place
Very brave to make a big move but even more tenacious to take up farming on a small holding. A colleague of mine moved to a sheep farm and it very nearly broke him until he got control of it. Unless you cater for niche markets, it's hard to make a dime. Our organic produce supplier came from Germany about a decade back and they are eventually thriving with their direct farmers market App, so there is light and prosperity at the end of the journey.
Thanks so much. Yes, I’m learning how tough it is to make money from a farm. Right now I’m fortunate to have a job online which pays the bills. We’d never make it financially if we were relying only on the farm.
What I've seen in the comments really hurts , political leaders have driven us apart from the relationship we were trying to build as a nation since 94 and they know as long as we're fight each other and not keeping our eyes on whats important they'll continue stealing from us,I really wish we could just come together and be united.i wanna have a braai watch rubgy drink with my Caucasian brothers without any discrimination between us .
Love my country SA. Will never leave. With Land Expropriation Without Compensation and New Gun Bill to remove our legal firearms , failing economy, failing electricity and other basic services, crime and corruption anyone wanting to come back home or immigrate here is taking a HUGE RISK of loosing everything. We are heading towards another Zimbabwe and Venezuela.

Hi Dale, fellow South African (of Indian descent) here. I am currently working in the Middle East, having been unable to find permanent employment in SA. I was earning R3500 as a passionate, qualified teacher being paid by the SGB. So I was really 'forced' overseas. My heart yearns for home however, having taught there for 6 years. There is no place like SA and our people. Like you, I agree that our multicultural country has the potential to be great, if all people just start seeing/voting beyond colour, for a better life. We are actually a mini-USA but with better weather 🙌. God help South Africa to realise its potential without constantly poking the wounds of the past. We have a terrible past, yes. But healing & growth can never occur if we keep looking backwards. My people came to SA as slaves but we did not let that define us. It took many generations but we uplifted ourselves. We South Africans are a work in progress. It cannot happen overnight but with education, upskilling of people and a determined work-ethic, we can turn this country around.

Welcome Home and hope all your dreams come true for you and the family...It is a great country and we'll get the right government one day. Don't give up on your hopes and dreams.
That's a very racist thing to say........so the apartheid government was the right government. You should've hidden your sickening racism by saying we'll get the right government cause the apartheid government took advantage and abused black people only and this government doesn't care it's shitting on everyone who's not in the inner circle.
For your information I wasn't being racist. never have been...I voted for the ANC now but look where we are??? Please don't always bring apartheid into everything, not everything is about race.
@@Katelyn1959 Sorry on my part for being insensitive and calling you racist it's just that I've never had a government that works for me because it was the apartheid government and their crap and now it's these ANC fat-cats but in your comment you stated that "we'll find the right government AGAIN" not having known a right government in SA in my lifetime I quickly assumed you meant the former apartheid government sorry for jumping to conclusions.
@@nkululekonduli4318 no problem apology accepted you right we never have had the right government but hopefully we will one day soon in the near future....

Good luck, we're planning to go to Canada as my one son stays in Vancouver, this is a 💩hole! I am 65 and grew up on a farm in the Free state and you cannot be outside after 17:00 all locked up! Those carefree days here are over and the latest in natal and Gauteng is only the beginning! Ask anyone and they will tell you that either a family member of friend have been attacked 😢
Hasta la vista Roelien, at least one thing is certain Canada, will never be Rugby World Cup champions...three times and the sun will become a pale, brief visitor.
@@petes9524 haha !! Well said.
@@roybean7166 agreed, dankie Roelien..ons gaan, jou nie mis nie. Ons sal, hierdie 💩land regruk binne kort.
@@petes9524 🤣🤣🤣
@@petes9524 Come to NZ and support the real Rugby World Cup Champions. Lol !!
South Africa is a great country indeed, I pray that one day we look beyond our races and love one another because we need each other. I hope you are still enjoying your stay in our beautiful country.
Be safe man, you and your family and try not to pay much attention on the negative comments!

You made the best move and the best decision 👏🏾 🙌🏾
Good times coming ..hold the line.
Very encouraging to know there's people who's gathered new hope and return to and coming SA. Anyway what's the benefit to the world if you stay in an affluent space on earth where you could've contributed elswhere where skills are mostly needed? Imagine Musk stayed or returned in SA? Beter yet imagine he set-up a SpaceX unit in the Karoo. Besides what do we need here except for skills? Skills gravitate more skills.
You are welcome to stay for all generations after you. God blessed you.

There is no place like home. Keep going. Don't let some sick people deter you or your family. In God we Trust. Nothing like living on a farm. It's the best for our children. Country belongs to all.

And how do you all feel this week? I've spent the last 4 nights alongside members of my community fighting to take back the streets of Durban. Appear to have chased most of the slavering horde back over the ridge & confiscated quite a bit of loot 👍
Wow Dave! That is terrifying to hear. I’m sorry you’ve been through that! Please be careful out there!!

Well he sounds South African so he's one of us now.
Ja. That's what I thought when I first heard him talk. What? But he sounds South African!!! What does he mean "moved to South Africa"? You already belong Mr. Dale!
Brother no matter what you always gonna get negative response but take the positive ones and don't delete the negative it will make more stronger every time you look at it. South Africa is for all South Africans, Black, Couloured, White and Indian. We as citizens needs to be United as one because in our days you can choose to be racist or not be racist. It's a shame to our country down because of corruption... All the best man and God bless you.

South Africa will never never change its so sad corruption is the problem to the tax payers and to others ........ you got it
I moved to Australia 40 years ago, the best decision I ever made. Living through a genocide is not on my to-do list
I hated Aus.
What genocide? You've been listening to too much right wing propaganda......
you live on a locked down island owned by China…might want to look in the mirror
Those who build and make stand strong against those who steal and brake...good verses evil.
We must work together build our country
South Africa is the best country in the world. Enjoy it.
Woop 🙌🏼
I read a quote from a Jewish survivor of Nazi Germany, and the man was talking about the many discussions of Jewish families pre-WW2 (so late 1930s, early 1940s) regarding people who thought things would turn out okay, and others who were adamant that immigration was the only option. It read something like, "the pessimists ended up living in New York with a suburban home and a pool. The optimists ended up in Dachau". If you're a minority in SA, there is no future
Just calm down and enjoy the show
You a brave man. Pray God you are not butchered...
We pray you are not butchered too.
Living in UK for 3years, not easy
Yes we know that it's beautiful 🇿🇦 are you able to leave your daughter's in your yard without supervision..
Absolutely! That's why you invest in a safe and healthy environment for you and your family. Every country has crime, good neighborhoods and bad. No difference here. Strange question Cecilia. Can you leave your kids unsupervised in your yard?
I used to promotel south africa internationally a lot in the past especially to americans, I don't anymore . I'm demotivated really...ran out of good things to say about my country
South Africa has some of the most beautiful naturally beauty in the World all you need to do is open you eyes and you will notice it.
We live in a democracy, we can vote in a better government.
@@roybean7166 Not going to happen bro. The ANC are here to stay.
