      @@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL . Thank you for the video. I pray that we don't lose this spirit of Ubuntu. Yes it is shocking whenever I come across a rude person, like I once did but then, I take into account their background. Please tour within our country we have enough to offer . Some things are under lock and key , however as black people this is our "home". We can be bold to enter whatever space the constitution allows.

    Yo! Mr Jones, this one was emotional. I felt that. I think watching your family through UA-cam has made us really appreciate this country, with all it's short comings. It doesn't seem so bad after all.

I do this a lot when i'm anywhere else in the world, i will still choose this country over and over again. I wish people could step out of South Africa for just a week or two, then they will learn to appreciate what we have. We need to do right by this beautiful country, we owe it to this country and ourselves. Thank you the Jones family for being authentic. Amen❤🧡✨️✌️🎊

    Thank you so much y brother for speaking for speaking sooooooooo HIGHLY of y country. THIS IS SOOOOO EENCOURAGING AND EDFYING. Some of us focus on negative aspects of SA but of course you are showing us the greatness of our country and the potential we have as its people who experienced some of the things you are reading about in that MADIBA’s book as well as those displayed in the apartheid museum. We did experience them from the EUROPEANS whose descendants are still living with us in this country. African Americans and us South Africans experienced similar oppression of over 300 of slavery(ours happened through Europeans invasion of 1652 until 1994) with visible effects of such cruelty legacy in poverty & other challenges you see on black South Africans. Thank you so much my brother for these powerful words of encouragement as well as offer to assist. We love you beautiful family so much and very excited that you are living among us and INDEED ONE OF US FOREVER. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

    • @kgosiking4228
      @kgosiking4228 4 місяці тому +1

      Look for a hotel in Rosebank , wont go wrong in Rosebank, everything you need will be in a walking distance among the leafy plush and safe streets, with an Awesome shopping mall in the vicinity, And Hyde park another great mall close drive by distance, Sandton Nelson Mandela shopping square is close too, but also driving distance

    • @MosesMatsepane
      @MosesMatsepane 4 місяці тому +1

      Rosebank, Sandton, Waterfall, whatever you do, don't book Johannesburg CBD. You can visit the CBD for art museums, and hipster spots, but don't stay there. You won't have access to the latest, newest, flashiest and coolest things South Africa has to offer.

    Sorry for what you went through in the other country, nobody should go through that, Dude would probably be out of business by the next day if it happened here . There is always gonna be an ignorant person that is racist, even here in SA, I just thank God it is not common here, All my years having lived here, all my life, gone to different schools, had friends and dated people of different races and have never experienced racism, Not saying it wont ever happen but if it does i will at least know it doesn't paint an accurate picture of a lot of interracial experiences on a daily in SA.. we have truly come a long way as a country.
