We pay higher income tax (45%) than most countries in the world. Tertiary education is free to citizens coming from families with a combined income of up to R29000 ($1650). Healthcare is free in government healthcare facilities.
There is struggles with regards to jobs in South Africa, today, unemployment is at the region of 30%, around 1 million graduates are unemployed but majority of these graduates are in the humanities and very few in the STEM fields, it is relatively easy to find a job in the STEM fields than the humanities. One of the biggest challenges facing South Africa is it's constitution, why?, it protects property rights, that in itself is good but the land that was brutally taken from it's indigenous people by the 10% of the citizens who are European and own70% of the land, this land is for settlement, farming, tourism, mining etc.... so, the constitution is now holding it's indigenous people hostage because for them to invest do not only need a business Idea and starter capital but they also need the land, land much of them do not have because the 10% of the population have it and now they have to employ majority of the 85% of the population, we need land for startups, farming, mining, tourism, investment into the housing sector, etc.... So, South Africa is very imperfect and a lot still needs to be done but if you compare it to all of Africa, Eastern Europe(excluding Russia) most of South America, much of Asia and South Africa beats them all.
As South Africans this country is the only Africa we know and it's about time people from across the continent stopped saying thos country is the Europe of Africa.We are an African country and whatever they see here they can build back in their home countries.They need to move past this mentality of associating development with Europe.We are not even happy with our country rn now but we stay to fight to make sure it becomes a better country for all of us 🇿🇦✊🏾.
The rest of Africa isn't developed cause the have no industries to generate money, most depend agriculture which actually isn't enough for better infrastructure
As a South African I have travelled to many African countries and I may say I'm so blessed to be a South African. There's no place like S.A. Even when I go to overseas, I'll be homesick.
I have never heard of a Ghanaian being arrested for anything Iligal in SA. It's only who falsefy their qualifications and have to be deported. In SA most of our teachers were Ghanaian especially in the Eastern Cape. Big up Ghana.
@@roynique5218I like Ghanaians I know two Ghanaian doctors unfortunately one passed away his surname was Atakora. Ghanaians are calm and you barely find them doing the wrong things well not everyone but majority.
17:56 -18:02 That's how most South Africans feel, especially since the country was built on traditional homelands. This is another reason why South Africans are so protective of this country. The country is literally an amalgamation of homelands, our forefather's homelands.
I like his honesty. I also like him because he is Ghanaian. Ghanaians are not problematic. They ate very peaceful and they obey the laws of the country where they are. They dont sell drugs, scam people etc
@@thenjiwedayimani232 That is true my sister drugs are killing our Country and we as south Africans we need to act and fight It.. And I know we can trust me🙏🏿🙏🏿
We just buy the narrative to brand black leadership as corrupt no matter how much they try. They tried their best and we didn't appreciate as white controlled media branded them corrupt. Zuma once said "ABANYE BENU BAYI KHALA" coz he knew what was coming.
As South African we found comfort in our own land. And honestly what we perceive as poverty is nothing compared to other African countries. Sometimes we forget that we are Africans, we refer to fellow Africans as Africans.
I always say I am happy I was born poor in SA coz I would not have been able to succeed in any other African country coz at least we have a chance even if your poor in SA.
There is a lot of competition for jobs between South African s and foreigners especially low end jobs. Reality with migration especially illegal migration strains economy systems, migrants compete for jobs when they cant find one they partake in crime...much like the immigration in the usa or anywhere in the world
We paint a picture because in the Zulu Culture it's very important to know your ancestry in order to know who you are. Growing up our parents call us by our tribe/clan names (which is usually names of our ancestors) in order to preserve the history and it has been so since since. So when you come to the Zulu nation they will want to know your name and your father's name eg: if you are Simon and your fathers name is Adam, when they see you they will acknowledge you and your ancestry "hello Simon son of Adam". That's how we preserve our history. Background is very important❤️
From an employment point of view. South Africa has jobs but in certain sectors. I and my sister had jobs before we even graduated. My one sister and I are Software Engineers and another one is an accountant. My cousins are Attoneys and Economists all have had jobs since Varsity. It's all about what you study.
Ghanaians and Kenyans are wonderful people, we do get along very well with them. Ghanaians are so respectful. SAns have Ubuntu but if you come with your shenanigans we will sort you out. We love our country
First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for his kind words and appreciation of our beloved country, South Africa. It warms our hearts to know that he has found beauty in our landscapes, admired our infrastructure, and appreciated the warmth and hospitality of our people. His positive experiences undoubtedly reinforce the unique and diverse charm of our nation. South Africa also is the African country that has many African migrants compared to other African countries, and we currently have migrants mostly from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Congo, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Somalia. We do have migrants from other African countries in West, East, Central and North Africa but the countries that I mentioned above have the highest number of migrants in South Africa. It's also easy for foreigners to find a job in South Africa than South Africans, and majority of foreigners living in South Africa are working. His admiration serves as a reminder of the treasures that South Africa has to offer, and it encourages us to continue working towards building a better and brighter future for our citizens and visitors alike. However, I also believe in the importance of honesty and transparency, and it is only fair that I share some of the challenges we are facing as a nation. Like any other country, we are not without our problems, and one of the most pressing issues we are confronting is higher unemployment rate, higher crime rate and corruption among our leaders. Crime, unemployment and corruption have been a significant obstacle to progress, hindering the proper allocation of resources, diverting funds meant for public welfare, and eroding trust in our institutions. While we acknowledge these issue, we must also acknowledge the efforts made by many individuals and organizations to combat crime and corruption and strengthen accountability in our government. It is heartening to hear his positive experiences in South Africa, and we hope that our nation's beauty and the warmth of its people continue to leave a lasting impression on him. We also encourage him to engage in meaningful conversations about our challenges, as it is through understanding and collaboration that we can move forward as a nation. Once again, thanks to him for his kind words and genuine appreciation for our country. His perspective and observations provide valuable insights for us to reflect upon and inspire us to work collectively towards a better future. One Love Afrika. ✌🏾 💘 😻 💜
As a South African it's hard to find a job, we survive by hustling while there's the working class. It is a great country yes, we have a problem with foreigners that go against the law to make ends meet.
Let's be honest people who struggle to find work either don't have matric, or have a qualification in a saturated field of work or is because of the systematic racial glass ceiling in the private sector or the nepotism in the public sector or they have a criminal record
@ayandagwele8389 I earn more than that living in joburg but it's not enough at all. I don't have kids and can't afford any time soon. It's easier for foreigners coz they don't have roots here it's all temporary. For us we get ripped of by tax, insurance, medical aid, utilities, electricity, housing costs etc....
@@PrincessVelaryon don't get me started on the rising price of electricity while not getting what you pay for cos of loadshedding...that said though, we still love our country and pray daily things will change to realise our full potential as a country cos we are a beautiful people and you can travel the world but there's no place like home
As a person who has traveled and lived in a few African countries my p.o.v is that in most African countries people work to survive; whereas in SA people work to live. South Africa is truly the Rainbow 🌈 nation. We as South Africans take a lot for granted. Amazing lifestyle, culture, food, weather and a dancing nation❤
Listen, this guy made sure to bring all the facts okay! We don't call ourselves "proudly South African" for nothing that's why most of us don't think of leaving because history has taught us to always fight for our home and not run away from it which is why we're so overprotective. We may not have it great but we definitely have it good here and may not even see it sometimes❤
I am from the Ivory Coast. I love South Africa. We are africains. In fact Miriam Makéba the freedom fighter singer The Diva used to live in Ivory Coast in exile. We adore her till today . RIP MAMA MAKEBA.
Namibia,South Africa and Botswana are the only African countries that give a monthly grant to their older citizens and also to the disabled and their children as well
This Ghananian guy is one smart and open minded African who moved to South Africa. Before judging the people know about about them first, where they come from as people! This guy is telling the truth, West Africans actually hate their countries. I once seen one Nigerian tweeted "in my next lifetime I would like to come back as a European, even if I can be a train in Europe" then I knew how much they hate their countries.
Besides the ones in professions and 'traditional careers', a lot of African foreign nationals here in Mzansi are self employed (tuckshops, barbers, welders, carpenters, etc) and then a huge portion is in logistics and construction and that's where most xenophobic attacks are usually directed because (open secret) they take the jobs below minimum wage hence companies prefer them than natives... in the same breath, the unemployment rate for the youth is very high, and graduates do struggle to find jobs in their preferred career fields, especially after Covid. As a result, the government has been encouraging entrepreneurship by increasing funding for SMME’s among a lot of other attempts.
It's just modern day slavery and they don't listen to us when we warn them before they come. It's a trap..labor laws unfortunately don't favor illegal immigrants.
South Africa is a place of extremes and you can't really capture it in one sentence or word. To African immigrants, it's a mind blowing place overall because it is in many cases much better than home, but to locals, there's considerable hard ships. Not bottom of the barrel, but it gets tough
South Africa is not perfect, we have a lot of issues here. But we have good and welcoming people, unfortunately some people take advantage of that and may do bad things which can rub South Africans the wrong way. Nonetheless we love having other Africans in our country. Unfortunately unemployment is high due to unemployment and government's corruption and the global economy problems caused by the pandemic amongst other things. The informal sector has been growing rapidly pushing the unemployment rate higher, as people in the informal sector are considered unemployed. Capetown has better and more job opportunities than anywhere in the country because a different political party is in charge of the western cape province.
When foreigners come to South Africa ,they take any job ,any salary they get exploited now bussiness people want to hire foreigners only because they are not"expensive" if I put it that way. Now that causes a problem with South Africans , that all employers do not want to hire South Africans because we "know* our story, we won't settle for anything , same with at work place if you are South African you work with foreigners,they will always be "spies" agree to everything even when you can clearly see that it's not part of your job .they are just scared to face and fight for what is right. That is the situation we are facing as South Africans
It is the same issue black Americans say in America but another reason might be that South Africans are not qualified for the Job . There is a stats that say that a lot of black South Africans don't go to university or don't finish university . This will also put foreigners ahead of you guys
Lies South Africans are very much qualified for many jobs in different fields many of our graduates are sitting unemployed with their degrees at home because it's easier to hire foreigners because of their cheap labor
@@albah289 The jobs being talked about aren't scarce skill job. Every country has mechanisms for allowing a needed person, if a local person cannot be found. That's not who the general flood of people coming to SA are.
@@albah289 that is not true, a lot of South Africans are educated , for example if a lady does hair and charges the amount , a person would rather go to a non South African hair salon because mostly they will do your hair and you will negotiate what you want to pay"bargain" but with South African ,that is not the case ,it is what it is,it's either you can afford or you can't afford
South Africa the land of the free, hustlers paradise. Like He said it's very rare for south Africans to move to other African countries ,we visit for holidays not for job opportunities. We rather move to America,Europe or Asia for job opportunities. Finding a job in SA is easy it's just people think the first month as a job seeker you must be employed in the first month as a seeker it's possible but at times you have to wait a lil longer. But some people give up on the way and say the are no job opportunities.
People who are unemployed in south Africa are people who decided to go to fields that are already overloaded with skills , or are semi skilled ( also overloaded) if people studied courses like medicine, teaching(maths and science and accounting), computer science and other courses that in demand people would actually have jobs but alot of people just do useless courses. You cant go and study admin and expect companies to demand your skills.
I studied computer science but im still jobless...So dont...bottomline we are jobless even with those degrees...thats the price we pay for the transition to freedom...but im not discouraged
I like this guy as a South African. Yes we do find comfort in our home and striving to make it better. I'm grateful that he understands the protectiveness we have about our environments, i wish we can collaborate with other foreigners like him inside the country to find other ways to legal to solve our issues and project on business matters. For instance he has something i might need from Ghana and i have something he may need here. I'll talk to him. Thank you for the platform
In south africa job opportunities for low end jobs are scares and there's alot of competition between Natives and the foreigner and companies would rather hire foreigner bcos they take below minimum wage and it frastrates citizens and causes alot of tension between foreigners....just recently there's a big war in the trucking industry bcos companies hire foreigners instead of south africans...as a results there's been over 21 trucks burned in a week due to these acts by companies...
What this man is saying about South Africa is true. I am a Siuth African by birth, & I know what he is saying. But the reason why it is hard for South Africans to get jobs is because the African guys from other African countries are paid less than the minimum wage & so most of them are getting the jobs.
It's always nice to hear our fellow Africans speak about our country in a positive way because most of the time South Africans complain a lot. As for jobs it's not easy at all. It depends on what you have studied and the connections you have. I would love to relocate for better opportunities.
Jobs are defs hard to find, with foreigners not really because most of them don't have proper documentation or expired so most employees exploit them by not paying minimum wage for starters, & many other benefits they should be getting but are not, and these employees know that they won't take them to CCMA because they're not here legal in the first place.
Purchasing parity to cost of living means after dollar currency conversion you still basically have to multiply the amount times 5, so a basic salary of R 20 000 is not $1 000, but rather closer to $ 5 000, or even more.
He made an error a teacher salary entry level is R38000. He mentioned R20000 because foreigners are being exploited they take anything because they are desperate.
I myself am proudly from Mzansi (South Africa) and while alot of people will continuously compare us to other more poorer nations and after having spent 1 year in Democratic Republic of Congo/a few months in Mozambique and a couple months in Zimbabwe its not that difficult to see how fortunate and blessed we are to have what we have in RSA thank you for the continued coverage on RSA @TheDemouchetsReact
You see, because he's Ghanaian he thinks it's wonderful cos his country is doing less... However, as a South African and according to the standard of living we grew up accustomed to, we feel not enough is being done. So we're still a great country which is why people flock here, we're comfortable in comparison to other countries in Africa and even the East of the world... However, we can't possibly be happy with some things that we KNOW could be better cos we fought too hard and lost families for our land...
It would seem that many of the problems in other African countries could be solved if the people did not migrate and made a concerted effort to improve their own countries. How is it supposed to get better if everyone runs away? 🤷♀️
As a South African I would say yes South africa has it own issues like other countries but it is doing better than other African countries almost in all aspects yes other Africans call SA Europe of Africa....Yes South africa is faced with unemployment but if you work hard enough you get a job and available jobs require scarce skills
1. South African systems are the best. 2. Finding job is difficult, hence we want the government to curate the number of foreigners in companies so that citizens can have a fair share.
Hello… love you guys… there are South Africans who went abroad and are working there… & still a lot of us who want to work abroad… but most South Africans want to work the country so that it becomes conducive & bearable to live in… so South African struggle has made it possible to have hope in the country and the good constitution that we have… we feel protected by theconstitutiom & we the citizens can hold our leaders accountable… & because we were able to get through the worst we believe that the best is yet to come
Ghanaians and Senegalese. ...re the best ....very disciplined and respectful....you can never make me hate them...i respect people who have self respect and morals...❤
South Africa 🇿🇦 is the only country in Africa that is developed in everything. So many foreigners flock to our country to look for better opportunities compared to where they are coming from in Africa and we are the calmest warm individuals. ❤
As I'm writing this I'm at work and I don't even think of relocating. Yes I wish I can go visit other countries or continents but a month will be too long for me. I respect those who leave their place.
He is right, the systems we have in South Africa a great, but the issue is that the economy has not been growing enough for the past 10 years to create enough jobs for the growing population, thus a lot of us are jobless.
I love this Ghanaian guy. I have a Ghanaian friend, well she's a South African because she was born here. Ghanaians are very nice, principled and intelligent.
We can never call it the Europe of Africa because like any other citizen in their motherland, We know our struggles and to us it seems as though it's on the same level as other countries. E.g. As South Africans, we complain a lot about 2-4 hours of power cuts forgetting other countries can go days to weeks with no power. We may be the real Africa but it doesn't feel like it.
South African jobs require you to have an excellent grasp of the English language. If you speak good English, finding a job will be easy. You need to sell yourself to get a good job and most companies value experience. This is true whether or not you have a college degree.
The fact that he mentioned that South Africans are always comfortable in their country /Province is so true. The 3 months I had visited the US were too much, I was always counting down and couldn't wait to come back home. I was really home sick. I never ate pap( mealie /corn meal). I really missed home like crazy. Honestly, SA is home and it's the best country in the world.
As a South African I agree with Bra from Ghana, the systems works however the employer's will find a way around it and overlook South Africans for foreign cheap labour and not to adhere to minimum wages, there are scarce skills where qualified people have been employed and mininal job Bus / truck drivers waiters cleaner's also with Graduates the economy is skewed along race and African South Africans a miginalized. It not his fault that he sees things the way he sees them, he is right I can't say he is incorrect, one Thing about South Africans we are a frighting nation maybe not for our generation but the next generation to be liberated economically
SA is like the America of Africa, the grants are not enough but they do help to put food on the table. When it comes to employment people from outside countries take so much of that, as they are willing to accept pays below their means and South Africans know their rights and will not work for a pay that is below their means. So most companies consider outsiders because they pay them low and get more profits. Unemployment rates are high in South Africa for South Africans. I have a master in business and still after 4 years I have no job.
The fact is that. If you come from outside of SA you can easily spot opportunities in SA . The infrastructure allows businesses to Prosper. And people adopt easily to anything new. Unlike some other African countries where you start something new and end up being disappointed because people prefer what they are accustomed to. Its bery easy to see opportunities in any African County but the reality is . that country may not be up to that speed and you end up closing down. SA is good for any type of business
It's the People in the Government that mess up SA but other than that everything is fine.If the government can create jobs for the youth & graduates,A lot would make sense
Governments do not great jobs, that's not primary objectives of government. Government role is enable an environment that encourage investments that will create jobs.
Our mindset is different we dont see ourselves as the Europe of Africa infact Soug Africans secretly despise Europeans the standard of the country does not even please us. We even pursue dream infrastructure sold to us in T. V. I have traveled the world and it makes me appreciate.
Most South African have never seen another African country, most South African have never seen their own country, I am one of the lucky one's having traveled, most South African have no clue how good they have it.
SA has the highest unemployment rate in the continent, as for low end minimal job seekers, I think they definitely have no place. As you heard when reality hits they take the left route, We got a whole show TV on the fight against drugs and almost all the people caught there are African immigrants especially Nigerians...
You guys have a serious drug issue, highest in drugs in Africa and highest in HIV in Africa, number 1 or 2 with the highest unemployment rate, these are one of the key reasons for the high rate of drug abuse and HIV in South Africa. I don't understand why you guys want to put the blame on less than 5 million of the immigrant population
Who buys the drugs?... that's why there is still a major drug problem in South Africa...because they don't want to address the real issues...its easier to blame other Africans... People only buy a product where there is a market... how come Nigeria doesn't have a hard drug problem?... because the market for drugs is not there... Nigeria's drug is creativity... Nigerians prefer that..hmmmm
@GhanaMusicFactChecker Nigerians might be less in than 5 million in numbers but the damage they're causing is huge.. their also part of many South Africans problem..
@@polymath_sa9745 5 million is the total immigrant population not just Nigerians, and I believe you guy cause more damage to yourselves than Nigerians. As we see there are a lot of Nigerians doing legal businesses in S.A. majority of people doing drugs in S.A are South Africans, more than 70% of people doing drugs are South Africans
To all African brothers and sisters, keep it in mind that a Home is not where you stay but where you belong. me staying 10 years or more in America won't make me an American. kids nowadays are in search of their AncestryDNA mostly in the US, its painful coz their ancestors never left their homes willingly but were taken by force. now kids are in search of their roots.
People from other countries are the ones are ware likely to get a job then South African citizens because employers take advantage of the fact that they are in need , e.g salary expectancy for truck driving for a South African citizen is somewhere 15k and above , but for foreigners any amount for em is okay because They came her searching for a better living
Like any other country if you are a citizen it's hard to find a job but easier for the outsiders ask Americans and Europeans and Asians even Nigerians it's always like that
SA can't be compared to Europe or USA citizens of those countries got opportunities to 2-3jobs, with single unit digit Unemployment rate. SAns will never understand the excuse of Africans running away from their countries to be modern slave's because that reduce our MW which our ancestors she'd blood for
The gentleman is speaking in comparison with other African countries! SA is not without its problems, we South Africans cry because we can see the decline in the last few years but others still see us as having it good! even when we do move to other countries (i’m one of those) we go back home because we have it all, just a few serious governance problems that could be easily fixed if politicians were serious about betterment of people’s lives and cheap imported labour doesn’t help things.
The schools are free for those who don't afford until university they also give food at schools especially villages schools, we get child support grants until the age 18 ,disability grants, old people grants starting from 60 years, foster care grants for kids who don't have parents until age of 21
Hey guys. South Africa has a very high youth unemployment. Thats a fact. Even with a degree people are unemployed... The issue is that when people study they don't check if their field if study will get them employed. Alot of fields if study are very saturated, hence the unemployment. There are many that require alot of people but very view citizens study in those fields. For example our military and navy just last month were looking for 4000 new recruits per division. You study, get housing and get paid but...very view young citizens apply. We need teachers, nurses, civil servants, our municipalities are understaffed but these jobs are not as desirable... There are jobs ,we just don't have enough skilled labor to fill them. People in S.A also don't like to have to relocate for work, we expect the opportunities to come to us. This makes things very difficult because you need to be flexible as a job seeker...go where the work is...
In SA scarce skills pays a lot of money e.g an IT specialist with experience you will be employ with immediate effect and payed handsomely, A lot of students goes to university and study wrong degrees, Study mathematics ,. Science, Commercial and technical skills, Chances of finding work are highly
We the best in Africa.... i don see myself leaving South Africa (home).... sometimes i feel like as south Africans we not Africans we complete different but we are Africans
@GhanaMusicFactChecker I'm South African and I don't really see myself as African, the only things that make me African are the fact that I live here and my skin colour. But the way I live and the languages I speak are not African
@@rowen42069 what language do you speak and what race are you? and what do you see yourself as? if you are black then you might be one of the people that Malema talks about, people that have inferiority complex, the white people in S.A has left a generational scar on some black South Africans over the years that passes from generation to generation
Just in a summarized juxtaposition, South Africa is to some extent similar to USA... We're a hub, a major one at that in our respective continent and global positioning... You will find every African and global citizen whether small or big numbers, as is the case with Nigerians & the British (those being a fair number coming out of their respective countries) but you will find every nationality stationed here...
I am SA graduate living abroad, due to not finding a job. The problem sometimes is that most jobs require experience, so that's why it is difficult for fresh graduates to get a job. But also, South Africa produce quite a lot of qualified people in science, medicine, engineers etc.. but there isn't jobs for us all, and that's why we leave, that's why I left. So that's a good and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it.
@@Eta544 earning R20 000 Rand a month you can have a nice big house and a car. I know alot of school teachers who earn R20 000 a month and are living great lives. There children are learning in private schools. Usually it's government jobs that pay people that money and upwards and we all want government jobs, every South African wants it. The problem is getting hired
For us South Africans we find it hard to get jobs due to the fact companies/organizations prefer employing foreigners/illegal foreigners as they are exposed to cheap labour and the employers take advantage of their desperation for jobs as back in their home countries find it hard to get by due to poor governance.. Illegal foreigners don't have a say even when they're payed nothing even being mistreated because they're threatened about being deported nor arrested. Our government signed a bill that instruct employers to pay workers a specific minimum wage that is fair to employees. For example if the minimum wage is R4000, a South African will not accept to be payed bellow that minimum wage, but a foreigner/illegal foreigner will accept R1000... Who do you think the employer will employ between the two individuals? Employers take advantage of illegal foreigners to evade registering them to a system called UIF. UIF is (The Unemployment Insurance Fund contributes to the alleviation of poverty in South Africa by providing short-term unemployment insurance to all workers who qualify for unemployment related benefits. The Fund is financed by a dedicated tax on the wage bill.) We don't hate foreigners who come here to help us build our country especially if they provide scarce skills that a South African can't do,l. If you're here illegally and disrespect our citizens and rule of laws, we will show you how our ancestors and parents fought apartheid.. We won't even care about being brothers and sisters.... #WEWILLDIEFOROURCOUNTRY
As much as we have our own struggles, we have functional systems. We have high yiuth unemployment but like he said, we have systems and they are working. If you are a South African or legally in the country you can be located hence you'll think twice before you commit a crime but if you unknown (undocumented) which most of our brothers and sisters from the continent turn to do because of the cost for paper work and pertiance.
Actually amaXhosa fiercely faught the colonial wars way before amaZulu. You need to watch the funeral of amaXhosa king Mpenduli Sigcawu. Mr president C. M. Ramaphosa explains in details the plight, the courage & fierceness of amaXhosa warious. That is not to take away the glory of amaZulu for their own conquest but amaXhosa dealt with the worst cruelty from colonialsm yet emerged one of the best if not thee BEST African tribe not only to have survived colonial wars but faught fiercely ( lost in some aspects, but have surely won) and are still as fierce as ever. The narrater should learn about the Xhosa kings/ Chiefs like Maqoma and how at the begining of all this African nightmare they worked in solidarity with the Khoekhoe kings to fight the enermy.
In my experience, relating to jobs. Certain job markets are over saturated, so that leads to people with qualifications, not getting jobs. A good example is IT. The market is filled with 1 or 2 criteria, meanwhile IT has "hundreds" of different criteria that are basically empty and in high demand, BUT those are fields that nobody wants to go into. A friend of mine earns "according to him", 7x more in his field, than the guys in the saturated fields, because his field is in such high demand, that the company he works for, will pay him anything just to stay with them. I'm a network technologist, and I'm without a job at the moment, coz my filed is super over saturated
I'm watching this video from my shack thinking, when shall we get our land back because the current government has failed us so dismally. Other wise thank you for your personal views.
What is one good fact you know to be true about South Africa?
We’ll go first. THE PEOPLE GROUPS. We love the diversity of the people.
We pay higher income tax (45%) than most countries in the world. Tertiary education is free to citizens coming from families with a combined income of up to R29000 ($1650). Healthcare is free in government healthcare facilities.
The system is good but the application is failing
There is struggles with regards to jobs in South Africa, today, unemployment is at the region of 30%, around 1 million graduates are unemployed but majority of these graduates are in the humanities and very few in the STEM fields, it is relatively easy to find a job in the STEM fields than the humanities.

So, South Africa is very imperfect and a lot still needs to be done but if you compare it to all of Africa, Eastern Europe(excluding Russia) most of South America, much of Asia and South Africa beats them all.

I'm a Cameroonian student at Wits and this is a powerful statement. I'm so glad you mentioned that
I am from Cameroon and I agree with your statement 100%. It could not have been better stated.
❤ 💯
❤❤❤
The rest of Africa isn't developed cause the have no industries to generate money, most depend agriculture which actually isn't enough for better infrastructure
As a south African 🇿🇦 i can tell u that we don't like to be compared with any other country but we just want to be ourselves
True 💯 it doesn't matter the country, just don't compare us
Mgabadeli
100% right we HATE being compared to any country. When the whole world goes east, we go South.
As a South African I have travelled to many African countries and I may say I'm so blessed to be a South African. There's no place like S.A. Even when I go to overseas, I'll be homesick.
Our currency is strong
ive been hearing this from many friends and people i know who've traveled out, that's interesting
@@lindelwanothandongcobo8863 yeah second after Pula in the region
To all Ganians living in South Africa. you guys are doing a great job in respecting our laws and being less problematic. we appreciate it
One love respect❤❤
I get respect in Germany sometimes just by the name yeboah. Apparently there's was a ghanaian called yeboah.
I have never heard of a Ghanaian being arrested for anything Iligal in SA. It's only who falsefy their qualifications and have to be deported. In SA most of our teachers were Ghanaian especially in the Eastern Cape. Big up Ghana.
@@roynique5218I like Ghanaians I know two Ghanaian doctors unfortunately one passed away his surname was Atakora. Ghanaians are calm and you barely find them doing the wrong things well not everyone but majority.
17:56 -18:02
That's how most South Africans feel, especially since the country was built on traditional homelands. This is another reason why South Africans are so protective of this country. The country is literally an amalgamation of homelands, our forefather's homelands.
I like his honesty.
I also like him because he is Ghanaian. Ghanaians are not problematic. They ate very peaceful and they obey the laws of the country where they are. They dont sell drugs, scam people etc
Exactly dear, you have earn my respect❤❤❤.
True Ghanaian is in SA strictly for a clean business
@@thenjiwedayimani232 That is true my sister drugs are killing our Country and we as south Africans we need to act and fight It..
And I know we can trust me🙏🏿🙏🏿
South Africa is really ahead, we're doing good but we were going to do better if the people in the government Weren't corrupt
Yes man
I agree 💯👍
WE aint good bro
Julius Malema is the right person for the job so let's vote for EFF next year.
We just buy the narrative to brand black leadership as corrupt no matter how much they try.
They tried their best and we didn't appreciate as white controlled media branded them corrupt.
Zuma once said "ABANYE BENU BAYI KHALA" coz he knew what was coming.
As South African we found comfort in our own land. And honestly what we perceive as poverty is nothing compared to other African countries. Sometimes we forget that we are Africans, we refer to fellow Africans as Africans.
I always say I am happy I was born poor in SA coz I would not have been able to succeed in any other African country coz at least we have a chance even if your poor in SA.
There is a lot of competition for jobs between South African s and foreigners especially low end jobs. Reality with migration especially illegal migration strains economy systems, migrants compete for jobs when they cant find one they partake in crime...much like the immigration in the usa or anywhere in the world
We paint a picture because in the Zulu Culture it's very important to know your ancestry in order to know who you are. Growing up our parents call us by our tribe/clan names (which is usually names of our ancestors) in order to preserve the history and it has been so since since. So when you come to the Zulu nation they will want to know your name and your father's name eg: if you are Simon and your fathers name is Adam, when they see you they will acknowledge you and your ancestry "hello Simon son of Adam". That's how we preserve our history. Background is very important❤️
From an employment point of view. South Africa has jobs but in certain sectors. I and my sister had jobs before we even graduated. My one sister and I are Software Engineers and another one is an accountant. My cousins are Attoneys and Economists all have had jobs since Varsity. It's all about what you study.
Ghanaians and Kenyans are wonderful people, we do get along very well with them. Ghanaians are so respectful. SAns have Ubuntu but if you come with your shenanigans we will sort you out. We love our country
One love.
First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for his kind words and appreciation of our beloved country, South Africa.
It warms our hearts to know that he has found beauty in our landscapes, admired our infrastructure, and appreciated the warmth and hospitality of our people. His positive experiences undoubtedly reinforce the unique and diverse charm of our nation.
South Africa also is the African country that has many African migrants compared to other African countries, and we currently have migrants mostly from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Congo, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Somalia.
We do have migrants from other African countries in West, East, Central and North Africa but the countries that I mentioned above have the highest number of migrants in South Africa.
It's also easy for foreigners to find a job in South Africa than South Africans, and majority of foreigners living in South Africa are working.
His admiration serves as a reminder of the treasures that South Africa has to offer, and it encourages us to continue working towards building a better and brighter future for our citizens and visitors alike.
However, I also believe in the importance of honesty and transparency, and it is only fair that I share some of the challenges we are facing as a nation.
Like any other country, we are not without our problems, and one of the most pressing issues we are confronting is higher unemployment rate, higher crime rate and corruption among our leaders.
Crime, unemployment and corruption have been a significant obstacle to progress, hindering the proper allocation of resources, diverting funds meant for public welfare, and eroding trust in our institutions. While we acknowledge these issue, we must also acknowledge the efforts made by many individuals and organizations to combat crime and corruption and strengthen accountability in our government.
It is heartening to hear his positive experiences in South Africa, and we hope that our nation's beauty and the warmth of its people continue to leave a lasting impression on him.
We also encourage him to engage in meaningful conversations about our challenges, as it is through understanding and collaboration that we can move forward as a nation.
Once again, thanks to him for his kind words and genuine appreciation for our country. His perspective and observations provide valuable insights for us to reflect upon and inspire us to work collectively towards a better future. One Love Afrika. ✌🏾 💘 😻 💜
As a South African it's hard to find a job, we survive by hustling while there's the working class. It is a great country yes, we have a problem with foreigners that go against the law to make ends meet.
Yes those who sell drugs
Let's be honest people who struggle to find work either don't have matric, or have a qualification in a saturated field of work or is because of the systematic racial glass ceiling in the private sector or the nepotism in the public sector or they have a criminal record
The problem is that south African companies prefer foreigners because of cheap labour
And the employers gaslight the foreigners into working in harsh conditions coz they are not "lazy"
True. Just look at this guy for instance, he's thinking a 20k salary is wonderful... While It's peanuts in the economy were in !!
@ayandagwele8389 I earn more than that living in joburg but it's not enough at all. I don't have kids and can't afford any time soon. It's easier for foreigners coz they don't have roots here it's all temporary. For us we get ripped of by tax, insurance, medical aid, utilities, electricity, housing costs etc....
@@PrincessVelaryon don't get me started on the rising price of electricity while not getting what you pay for cos of loadshedding...that said though, we still love our country and pray daily things will change to realise our full potential as a country cos we are a beautiful people and you can travel the world but there's no place like home
@ayandagwele8389 True and we have come far in only 28 years
As a person who has traveled and lived in a few African countries my p.o.v is that in most African countries people work to survive; whereas in SA people work to live. South Africa is truly the Rainbow 🌈 nation. We as South Africans take a lot for granted. Amazing lifestyle, culture, food, weather and a dancing nation❤
Listen, this guy made sure to bring all the facts okay! We don't call ourselves "proudly South African" for nothing that's why most of us don't think of leaving because history has taught us to always fight for our home and not run away from it which is why we're so overprotective. We may not have it great but we definitely have it good here and may not even see it sometimes❤
I am from the Ivory Coast. I love South Africa. We are africains. In fact Miriam Makéba the freedom fighter singer The Diva used to live in Ivory Coast in exile. We adore her till today . RIP MAMA MAKEBA.

Kenya does too.
Dumelang my beautiful couple I love you do much 🇿🇦❤️👈
I always say other African countries reallydont hate us but envy us, it just come as a form of hate
This Ghananian guy is one smart and open minded African who moved to South Africa. Before judging the people know about about them first, where they come from as people! This guy is telling the truth, West Africans actually hate their countries. I once seen one Nigerian tweeted "in my next lifetime I would like to come back as a European, even if I can be a train in Europe" then I knew how much they hate their countries.
I like the complicity and love between you two. Beautiful couples
😊 thank you
Besides the ones in professions and 'traditional careers', a lot of African foreign nationals here in Mzansi are self employed (tuckshops, barbers, welders, carpenters, etc) and then a huge portion is in logistics and construction and that's where most xenophobic attacks are usually directed because (open secret) they take the jobs below minimum wage hence companies prefer them than natives... in the same breath, the unemployment rate for the youth is very high, and graduates do struggle to find jobs in their preferred career fields, especially after Covid. As a result, the government has been encouraging entrepreneurship by increasing funding for SMME’s among a lot of other attempts.
It's just modern day slavery and they don't listen to us when we warn them before they come. It's a trap..labor laws unfortunately don't favor illegal immigrants.
Big for the brother for speaking the truth.Secondly it is truly a blessing to be born in South Africa.
South Africa is a place of extremes and you can't really capture it in one sentence or word. To African immigrants, it's a mind blowing place overall because it is in many cases much better than home, but to locals, there's considerable hard ships. Not bottom of the barrel, but it gets tough
South Africa is not perfect, we have a lot of issues here. But we have good and welcoming people, unfortunately some people take advantage of that and may do bad things which can rub South Africans the wrong way. Nonetheless we love having other Africans in our country.
Unfortunately unemployment is high due to unemployment and government's corruption and the global economy problems caused by the pandemic amongst other things. The informal sector has been growing rapidly pushing the unemployment rate higher, as people in the informal sector are considered unemployed. Capetown has better and more job opportunities than anywhere in the country because a different political party is in charge of the western cape province.
We call it Mzantsi but other Africans call it the Europe of Africa
When foreigners come to South Africa ,they take any job ,any salary they get exploited now bussiness people want to hire foreigners only because they are not"expensive" if I put it that way. Now that causes a problem with South Africans , that all employers do not want to hire South Africans because we "know* our story, we won't settle for anything , same with at work place if you are South African you work with foreigners,they will always be "spies" agree to everything even when you can clearly see that it's not part of your job .they are just scared to face and fight for what is right. That is the situation we are facing as South Africans
It is the same issue black Americans say in America but another reason might be that South Africans are not qualified for the Job . There is a stats that say that a lot of black South Africans don't go to university or don't finish university . This will also put foreigners ahead of you guys
Lies South Africans are very much qualified for many jobs in different fields many of our graduates are sitting unemployed with their degrees at home because it's easier to hire foreigners because of their cheap labor
@@albah289
The jobs being talked about aren't scarce skill job.
Every country has mechanisms for allowing a needed person, if a local person cannot be found.
That's not who the general flood of people coming to SA are.
Couldn't have said it better
@@albah289 that is not true, a lot of South Africans are educated , for example if a lady does hair and charges the amount , a person would rather go to a non South African hair salon because mostly they will do your hair and you will negotiate what you want to pay"bargain" but with South African ,that is not the case ,it is what it is,it's either you can afford or you can't afford
South Africa the land of the free, hustlers paradise.
Like He said it's very rare for south Africans to move to other African countries ,we visit for holidays not for job opportunities. We rather move to America,Europe or Asia for job opportunities.
Finding a job in SA is easy it's just people think the first month as a job seeker you must be employed in the first month as a seeker it's possible but at times you have to wait a lil longer.
But some people give up on the way and say the are no job opportunities.
People who are unemployed in south Africa are people who decided to go to fields that are already overloaded with skills , or are semi skilled ( also overloaded) if people studied courses like medicine, teaching(maths and science and accounting), computer science and other courses that in demand people would actually have jobs but alot of people just do useless courses. You cant go and study admin and expect companies to demand your skills.
So true
Yes it's True!!!
well said
Exactly. Teaching and law is also starting to get saturated as well.
I studied computer science but im still jobless...So dont...bottomline we are jobless even with those degrees...thats the price we pay for the transition to freedom...but im not discouraged
We love you too family 💕💕💕 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 we can't wait to host 😘 you 🤞👌
I love Ghanaians, wish to visit Ghana❤️🇬🇭
come december
I like this guy as a South African. Yes we do find comfort in our home and striving to make it better. I'm grateful that he understands the protectiveness we have about our environments, i wish we can collaborate with other foreigners like him inside the country to find other ways to legal to solve our issues and project on business matters. For instance he has something i might need from Ghana and i have something he may need here. I'll talk to him. Thank you for the platform
In south africa job opportunities for low end jobs are scares and there's alot of competition between Natives and the foreigner and companies would rather hire foreigner bcos they take below minimum wage and it frastrates citizens and causes alot of tension between foreigners....just recently there's a big war in the trucking industry bcos companies hire foreigners instead of south africans...as a results there's been over 21 trucks burned in a week due to these acts by companies...
I love you guyz and your reactions❤ from SA
Much love, fam! Thank you for your support!
There,s free housing system. Skills development and its about time we appreciate😊
My beautiful Family, SA loves you guys. Looking forward to see you touching your motherland soil.mega love
My African brothers and sisters from the continent should learn to fight for their rights
What this man is saying about South Africa is true. I am a Siuth African by birth, & I know what he is saying. But the reason why it is hard for South Africans to get jobs is because the African guys from other African countries are paid less than the minimum wage & so most of them are getting the jobs.
Exactly, employees always option to pay less money.
It's always nice to hear our fellow Africans speak about our country in a positive way because most of the time South Africans complain a lot. As for jobs it's not easy at all. It depends on what you have studied and the connections you have. I would love to relocate for better opportunities.
Jobs are defs hard to find, with foreigners not really because most of them don't have proper documentation or expired so most employees exploit them by not paying minimum wage for starters, & many other benefits they should be getting but are not, and these employees know that they won't take them to CCMA because they're not here legal in the first place.
Purchasing parity to cost of living means after dollar currency conversion you still basically have to multiply the amount times 5, so a basic salary of R 20 000 is not $1 000, but rather closer to $ 5 000, or even more.
Exactly. R2000 is decent in South Africa because of the Purchasing Power. You can have a bond R7000 and a car of R4000 and still have enough to live.
He made an error a teacher salary entry level is R38000. He mentioned R20000 because foreigners are being exploited they take anything because they are desperate.
I myself am proudly from Mzansi (South Africa) and while alot of people will continuously compare us to other more poorer nations and after having spent 1 year in Democratic Republic of Congo/a few months in Mozambique and a couple months in Zimbabwe its not that difficult to see how fortunate and blessed we are to have what we have in RSA thank you for the continued coverage on RSA @TheDemouchetsReact
You see, because he's Ghanaian he thinks it's wonderful cos his country is doing less... However, as a South African and according to the standard of living we grew up accustomed to, we feel not enough is being done. So we're still a great country which is why people flock here, we're comfortable in comparison to other countries in Africa and even the East of the world... However, we can't possibly be happy with some things that we KNOW could be better cos we fought too hard and lost families for our land...
I Second everything..I love SA.. 🇬🇭
It would seem that many of the problems in other African countries could be solved if the people did not migrate and made a concerted effort to improve their own countries. How is it supposed to get better if everyone runs away? 🤷♀️
As a South African I would say yes South africa has it own issues like other countries but it is doing better than other African countries almost in all aspects yes other Africans call SA Europe of Africa....Yes South africa is faced with unemployment but if you work hard enough you get a job and available jobs require scarce skills
1. South African systems are the best.
2. Finding job is difficult, hence we want the government to curate the number of foreigners in companies so that citizens can have a fair share.
Wow this is amazing...I really appreciate guys..
Thank you so much for this...@ The Demouchet...❤️😘🙏🏽😄
The little things that we take for granted.
i wish you guys can get chance to come over to south africa to see how everything 🙂
It's true that in South Africa many young people are jobless. The system is not as good as we want it to be, but compared to other African countries.
Akon said it well on Drink Champs. "Just because its more developed then rest of Africa people think it's not part of Africa"
Hello… love you guys… there are South Africans who went abroad and are working there… & still a lot of us who want to work abroad… but most South Africans want to work the country so that it becomes conducive & bearable to live in… so South African struggle has made it possible to have hope in the country and the good constitution that we have… we feel protected by theconstitutiom & we the citizens can hold our leaders accountable… & because we were able to get through the worst we believe that the best is yet to come
South Africa is a diverse country anyone will enjoy it .
Ghanaians and Senegalese. ...re the best ....very disciplined and respectful....you can never make me hate them...i respect people who have self respect and morals...❤
South Africa 🇿🇦 is the only country in Africa that is developed in everything. So many foreigners flock to our country to look for better opportunities compared to where they are coming from in Africa and we are the calmest warm individuals. ❤
As I'm writing this I'm at work and I don't even think of relocating. Yes I wish I can go visit other countries or continents but a month will be too long for me. I respect those who leave their place.
You American's is from South Africa 🇿🇦 you are our people Taken from here to America
He is right, the systems we have in South Africa a great, but the issue is that the economy has not been growing enough for the past 10 years to create enough jobs for the growing population, thus a lot of us are jobless.
I love this Ghanaian guy. I have a Ghanaian friend, well she's a South African because she was born here. Ghanaians are very nice, principled and intelligent.
you both look more South African, especially my lady looks more zulu. and Tshonga lookalike💯
We can never call it the Europe of Africa because like any other citizen in their motherland, We know our struggles and to us it seems as though it's on the same level as other countries.
E.g. As South Africans, we complain a lot about 2-4 hours of power cuts forgetting other countries can go days to weeks with no power.
We may be the real Africa but it doesn't feel like it.
South African jobs require you to have an excellent grasp of the English language. If you speak good English, finding a job will be easy. You need to sell yourself to get a good job and most companies value experience. This is true whether or not you have a college degree.
The fact that he mentioned that South Africans are always comfortable in their country /Province is so true. The 3 months I had visited the US were too much, I was always counting down and couldn't wait to come back home. I was really home sick. I never ate pap( mealie /corn meal). I really missed home like crazy. Honestly, SA is home and it's the best country in the world.
As a South African I agree with Bra from Ghana, the systems works however the employer's will find a way around it and overlook South Africans for foreign cheap labour and not to adhere to minimum wages, there are scarce skills where qualified people have been employed and mininal job
Bus / truck drivers waiters cleaner's also with Graduates the economy is skewed along race and African South Africans a miginalized. It not his fault that he sees things the way he sees them, he is right I can't say he is incorrect, one Thing about South Africans we are a frighting nation maybe not for our generation but the next generation to be liberated economically
SA is like the America of Africa, the grants are not enough but they do help to put food on the table. When it comes to employment people from outside countries take so much of that, as they are willing to accept pays below their means and South Africans know their rights and will not work for a pay that is below their means. So most companies consider outsiders because they pay them low and get more profits. Unemployment rates are high in South Africa for South Africans. I have a master in business and still after 4 years I have no job.
people who fought those wars are not only ancestors, but our grandfathers/mother fathers/mothers... luckily my fast is still existing
The fact is that. If you come from outside of SA you can easily spot opportunities in SA . The infrastructure allows businesses to Prosper. And people adopt easily to anything new. Unlike some other African countries where you start something new and end up being disappointed because people prefer what they are accustomed to. Its bery easy to see opportunities in any African County but the reality is . that country may not be up to that speed and you end up closing down. SA is good for any type of business
It's the People in the Government that mess up SA but other than that everything is fine.If the government can create jobs for the youth & graduates,A lot would make sense
Governments do not great jobs, that's not primary objectives of government. Government role is enable an environment that encourage investments that will create jobs.
@@AustineAKI think that perhaps that is his point that they aren't doing it sufficiently? 🤔
Our mindset is different we dont see ourselves as the Europe of Africa infact Soug Africans secretly despise Europeans the standard of the country does not even please us.
We even pursue dream infrastructure sold to us in T. V.
I have traveled the world and it makes me appreciate.
I have been in South Africa, almost 14 years , no job opportunity in South Africa, South African themselves no job
We are South and we Africans, African is one even our nation anthem say it all God bless Africa not just South Africa ❤
Most South African have never seen another African country, most South African have never seen their own country, I am one of the lucky one's having traveled, most South African have no clue how good they have it.
South Africa's strength is in its diversity.
SA has the highest unemployment rate in the continent, as for low end minimal job seekers, I think they definitely have no place. As you heard when reality hits they take the left route, We got a whole show TV on the fight against drugs and almost all the people caught there are African immigrants especially Nigerians...
You guys have a serious drug issue, highest in drugs in Africa and highest in HIV in Africa, number 1 or 2 with the highest unemployment rate, these are one of the key reasons for the high rate of drug abuse and HIV in South Africa. I don't understand why you guys want to put the blame on less than 5 million of the immigrant population
Who buys the drugs?... that's why there is still a major drug problem in South Africa...because they don't want to address the real issues...its easier to blame other Africans... People only buy a product where there is a market... how come Nigeria doesn't have a hard drug problem?... because the market for drugs is not there... Nigeria's drug is creativity... Nigerians prefer that..hmmmm
@GhanaMusicFactChecker Nigerians might be less in than 5 million in numbers but the damage they're causing is huge.. their also part of many South Africans problem..
@@polymath_sa9745 5 million is the total immigrant population not just Nigerians, and I believe you guy cause more damage to yourselves than Nigerians. As we see there are a lot of Nigerians doing legal businesses in S.A. majority of people doing drugs in S.A are South Africans, more than 70% of people doing drugs are South Africans
@@albah289total of 15 Million immigrant foreigners not 5 Million
Im going to subscribe to that guy channel..he is open minded
To all African brothers and sisters, keep it in mind that a Home is not where you stay but where you belong. me staying 10 years or more in America won't make me an American. kids nowadays are in search of their AncestryDNA mostly in the US, its painful coz their ancestors never left their homes willingly but were taken by force. now kids are in search of their roots.
People from other countries are the ones are ware likely to get a job then South African citizens because employers take advantage of the fact that they are in need , e.g salary expectancy for truck driving for a South African citizen is somewhere 15k and above , but for foreigners any amount for em is okay because They came her searching for a better living
I will never go to any other African country am happy here at home South Af.
Like any other country if you are a citizen it's hard to find a job but easier for the outsiders ask Americans and Europeans and Asians even Nigerians it's always like that
SA can't be compared to Europe or USA citizens of those countries got opportunities to 2-3jobs, with single unit digit Unemployment rate. SAns will never understand the excuse of Africans running away from their countries to be modern slave's because that reduce our MW which our ancestors she'd blood for
Ramaphosa want to please he's investors. Julius Malema will fix this problem
The gentleman is speaking in comparison with other African countries! SA is not without its problems, we South Africans cry because we can see the decline in the last few years but others still see us as having it good! even when we do move to other countries (i’m one of those) we go back home because we have it all, just a few serious governance problems that could be easily fixed if politicians were serious about betterment of people’s lives and cheap imported labour doesn’t help things.
You can’t tell me all Americans graduates have jobs.
The schools are free for those who don't afford until university they also give food at schools especially villages schools, we get child support grants until the age 18 ,disability grants, old people grants starting from 60 years, foster care grants for kids who don't have parents until age of 21
IM A SOUTH AFRICAN IN MZANZI I WISH OUR SYSTERM CAN SPREAD AROUND AFRICA
It goes deeper than that.
Hey guys. South Africa has a very high youth unemployment. Thats a fact. Even with a degree people are unemployed...
The issue is that when people study they don't check if their field if study will get them employed. Alot of fields if study are very saturated, hence the unemployment. There are many that require alot of people but very view citizens study in those fields. For example our military and navy just last month were looking for 4000 new recruits per division. You study, get housing and get paid but...very view young citizens apply. We need teachers, nurses, civil servants, our municipalities are understaffed but these jobs are not as desirable...
There are jobs ,we just don't have enough skilled labor to fill them.
People in S.A also don't like to have to relocate for work, we expect the opportunities to come to us. This makes things very difficult because you need to be flexible as a job seeker...go where the work is...
In SA scarce skills pays a lot of money e.g an IT specialist with experience you will be employ with immediate effect and payed handsomely,
A lot of students goes to university and study wrong degrees,
Study mathematics ,. Science, Commercial and technical skills,
Chances of finding work are highly
We the best in Africa.... i don see myself leaving South Africa (home).... sometimes i feel like as south Africans we not Africans we complete different but we are Africans
We not afrucans??? Since when we are very africans unless ur white south african, but as for us bruh we african african
so being African is associated with Negativity? i thought South Africans are one of the most proud people to be Africans in Africa?
@GhanaMusicFactChecker I'm South African and I don't really see myself as African, the only things that make me African are the fact that I live here and my skin colour. But the way I live and the languages I speak are not African
@@rowen42069 what language do you speak and what race are you? and what do you see yourself as? if you are black then you might be one of the people that Malema talks about, people that have inferiority complex, the white people in S.A has left a generational scar on some black South Africans over the years that passes from generation to generation
@@albah289 I'm coloured and I speak Afrikaans and English, culturally I'm alot closer to Europe and even Asia than to Africa
Just in a summarized juxtaposition, South Africa is to some extent similar to USA... We're a hub, a major one at that in our respective continent and global positioning... You will find every African and global citizen whether small or big numbers, as is the case with Nigerians & the British (those being a fair number coming out of their respective countries) but you will find every nationality stationed here...
I am SA graduate living abroad, due to not finding a job. The problem sometimes is that most jobs require experience, so that's why it is difficult for fresh graduates to get a job. But also, South Africa produce quite a lot of qualified people in science, medicine, engineers etc.. but there isn't jobs for us all, and that's why we leave, that's why I left. So that's a good and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it.
Earning R20,000 a month is not great and if you are educated and well qualified you can earn way more outside SA. So I understand why you left.
@@Eta544 earning R20 000 Rand a month you can have a nice big house and a car. I know alot of school teachers who earn R20 000 a month and are living great lives. There children are learning in private schools. Usually it's government jobs that pay people that money and upwards and we all want government jobs, every South African wants it. The problem is getting hired
Anglo Zulu War to fight Apartheid interesting
For us South Africans we find it hard to get jobs due to the fact companies/organizations prefer employing foreigners/illegal foreigners as they are exposed to cheap labour and the employers take advantage of their desperation for jobs as back in their home countries find it hard to get by due to poor governance..
Illegal foreigners don't have a say even when they're payed nothing even being mistreated because they're threatened about being deported nor arrested.
Our government signed a bill that instruct employers to pay workers a specific minimum wage that is fair to employees. For example if the minimum wage is R4000, a South African will not accept to be payed bellow that minimum wage, but a foreigner/illegal foreigner will accept R1000... Who do you think the employer will employ between the two individuals?
Employers take advantage of illegal foreigners to evade registering them to a system called UIF.
UIF is (The Unemployment Insurance Fund contributes to the alleviation of poverty in South Africa by providing short-term unemployment insurance to all workers who qualify for unemployment related benefits. The Fund is financed by a dedicated tax on the wage bill.)
We don't hate foreigners who come here to help us build our country especially if they provide scarce skills that a South African can't do,l. If you're here illegally and disrespect our citizens and rule of laws, we will show you how our ancestors and parents fought apartheid.. We won't even care about being brothers and sisters....

As much as we have our own struggles, we have functional systems. We have high yiuth unemployment but like he said, we have systems and they are working. If you are a South African or legally in the country you can be located hence you'll think twice before you commit a crime but if you unknown (undocumented) which most of our brothers and sisters from the continent turn to do because of the cost for paper work and pertiance.

Actually amaXhosa fiercely faught the colonial wars way before amaZulu. You need to watch the funeral of amaXhosa king Mpenduli Sigcawu. Mr president C. M. Ramaphosa explains in details the plight, the courage & fierceness of amaXhosa warious.
That is not to take away the glory of amaZulu for their own conquest but amaXhosa dealt with the worst cruelty from colonialsm yet emerged one of the best if not thee BEST African tribe not only to have survived colonial wars but faught fiercely ( lost in some aspects, but have surely won) and are still as fierce as ever. The narrater should learn about the Xhosa kings/ Chiefs like Maqoma and how at the begining of all this African nightmare they worked in solidarity with the Khoekhoe kings to fight the enermy.
True. I'm Zulu i can confirm that to be true.
In my experience, relating to jobs. Certain job markets are over saturated, so that leads to people with qualifications, not getting jobs. A good example is IT. The market is filled with 1 or 2 criteria, meanwhile IT has "hundreds" of different criteria that are basically empty and in high demand, BUT those are fields that nobody wants to go into. A friend of mine earns "according to him", 7x more in his field, than the guys in the saturated fields, because his field is in such high demand, that the company he works for, will pay him anything just to stay with them. I'm a network technologist, and I'm without a job at the moment, coz my filed is super over saturated
I'm watching this video from my shack thinking, when shall we get our land back because the current government has failed us so dismally. Other wise thank you for your personal views.
