Pretoria: Living in the Land of Apartheid
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2023
- South Africa has had a turbulent history of occupation, discrimination and violence against the black population. With the ANC in power and today in the post-Mandela era, the roles have been reversed. We see a true 'Black Economic Empowerment', in which the black people are favored in terms of housing and employment. The white middle class is slowly slipping into poverty, resulting in violence, excessive drug and alcohol abuse.
Barber Shop South Africa tells the story of this impoverished white middle class who decides to isolate himself from the outside world and settles in strict religious communities in the countryside.
Adri (36) is the white female hairdresser from Filadelfia Ark, a community West of Pretoria. She cuts her hair on a chair outside her bungalow. Her customers appreciate her gentle approach and visit her for an enjoyable chat. Filadelfia Ark has an almost paradisiacal setting, with lakes, animals and an outdoor dining area, but the community exudes a story of fear, exclusion, poverty and religion.

I'm Xhosa I pray oom dirk to be blessed with more gold of heart n fruit for the survival of the people. Go's bless godspeed
Nkosi madaughter, sala kahle.
You a sellout for praising people that call u the K word
Oom Dirk is racist. Pray for that first
@@nknthatguy4704 I understand what you say and agree he is racist. But this was allowed by Mandela and anc. So we need to have dialog about this. To move on build a great south afrika without anc black or white but we all south afrikans
True 😢
As a white south african this is called holding on to old ideas. Good that they are helping each other but change can only come about through intergration. They are stuck in a time loop. Broke my heart to hear this type of language and ideas. And i dont mean afrikaans i mean the derogatory remarks about our people. We still got a long way to go. Glad they have a place to feel safe sad they missing out on a wonderful united culture.
It would help if the government wants to accept our help. How many times have old engineers volunteered to help Eskom with the power issue, just to be turned away because of BBBEE? Unity works both ways, and you are right about one thing... we have a long way to go.
Sad😢😢
I don't blame them
I'm very proud of them
And I hope you and I as black people who like complaining all the time... to learn from them
This only proves one thing,the Afrikaners are still very constructive race,they can take a vacant land and turn it into a town ,but blacks have an entire country inherited from Whites and they have successfully destroyed it.
What struck me is how clean it is. There is no litter. Shows you it costs nothing to keep things clean
It’s genetic
@@AustrianPainter14😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@AustrianPainter14because this is not their land, they are under someone who own this land or farm,so they hv to go by his laws

What does that have to do with Europeans keeping a place clean? You guys don’t keep anything clean.
I'm 24 years and live in The Orchards, a suburb in the northern part of Pretoria. I've seen poor and destitute Afrikaners in Pretoria North and Pretoria West especially, where some live in informational settlements and are addicted to drugs and alcohol. But I've never seen or heard of Filedefia Ark; it's my first time seeing it, but I'm honestly not angered by its existence and the people who live there.
I mostly feel pity for their living standards and ignorance to live amongst all South Africans of different races and backgrounds, as its causing them to be stagnant in all aspects. Obviously, Oom Dirk's got animosity towards the ANC government at the beginning of the new democracy for integrating black people into the economy and industries to empower them, but I dont think all those white people just got poor once the ANC got into power. They had to have been poor already towards the last years of apartheid, due to a number of factors, whether it be inequality amongst white people, single mother run homes, addiction, etc.
I also do get what Oom Dirk says about how other white people and the churches have failed them, because some, if not most wealthier Afrikaners living in the North and East of Pretoria view those poor Pretoria West Afrikaners as "white trash" and different from them, so they aren't helping their fellow people either and sort of see them as failing to improve their living and economic situation, when its actually capitalism doing its job in favouring the rich.
The good thing is though is these Afrikaners don't represent all Afrikaners, as do the wealthy ones. They dont even in believe in South Africa, so I see no point in trying to reason with them to stop being racist as the elders are too far gone. The young ones can change and if they can get into a good school, go to uni or get a job, they'll realize that how they were raised isn't helpful for them and society at large and we are stronger together when we see the humanity in each other and work towards a common goal 🤝.
I am a South African, black as we are called or described, I am very impressed of how Oom Dirk is helping the poor afrikaaners speaking people in his farm. I so pray that people who are financially well off must come forward and do more to many economically and socially struggling people. However I have this to him , teach people or say true things about Yeshuah, and observe the true Shabbat according the Bible, love. Yeshuah died for all not for certain nation or tribe. The only way to can remove the curse on people is to be honest and love one another, apartheid is evil and satanic, and everyone who practice it is of the devil.
Why would they? when black people call for their death and open want to destroy everything they are built.
Heart warming how 1 man can give a little community hope. Thats all we need in the end. God works accross all boundries and races we r all his children.❤
Help is op pad, Oom Dirk!
This documentary is very touching.
Let the political uncertainty simmer down after the National & Provincial Elections.
Once again, I assure you Man Of God, HELP IS COMING THERE SOON!!!
I really love my Afrikaans people God will bless me I'll make sure I bless them
Only God can bless, as for these junkies bible gives them direction, and the few racists i guess you can't win over everyone...
I'm Afrikaans. I find it hard to reckon with. We've done so much evil. We've committed so many shameful acts. Why should God look kindly upon us? What does our belief mean, if we don't practice it?
I agree no place for racism either way. There are good and bad people in any race, we are individuals. Jesus loves us all.
Thank you for the farm owner to help these people
I was touched until I heard Kaffir...
Same😢
Me too and being called a dangerous nation
Julius has said far worse things about us, my dear, but I do agree that THAT word needs to be buried. The same goes for the struggle song "Dubul' ibhunu". Only way the nation will heal. Less hatred toward each other.
I was touched until I heard "Yeshua". Stupid false cult: it doesn't help to save the skin if you destroy the soul. False prophets suck.
Same here.... And claim to be Christians 😢
This makes you be Grateful for what you have. May God Bless you abundantly. This is a dream of mine to help those who can't help themselves. ❤
Ongelooflik !!!Dankie dat daar nog Afrikaners is soos oom Dirk 🤗
23:43 “A crocodile has its pride it won’t eat kaffers”. That is so sad can’t believe people are still holding on to the colour of one skin in this day and age there was no need for such racial words.
Nice white name, Why not African ?
How do you feel about "kill the Boer, shoot the farmer" - chanted by someone holding to the colour of of his skin. Is that racial slur justified.??? This man is a boer protecting the lives and integrity of impoverished white people, that you may not believe exist - do you not think the cookie crumbles both ways, none of them being right, but both entitled to their racist opinions.
They're so disgusting. You'd think people would grow and accept change but alas here we are .
Exactly they're so disgusting
Agreed - it's hard to listen to. Having said that the last four years (during the pandemic) have taught me that people are very easily brainwashed when they are afraid. A common enemy always bonds people together. It's not right but it's how humans are.
The only way forward is to accept differences and respect others...
True
Amen
True but they don't want that even if they're poor they still think they're privileged.

This people worship me with their lips, but their heart are far from me. My prayer is for one united south africa where both the white live together in harmony, where the color of your skin does not determine your social lifestyle. A country where black is no better than white or vice versa, a country where everyone sees that we are better together, not against each other.
Vertel dit aan die swartes ens vra sommer vir Malema of hy nof ten gunste is van die blanke Afrikaner.....hulle kan dit in een aand doen. Daar is niks verkeerd met die mense se christenskap nie.....niemand is perfek nie. Waar kom jy aan jou oordeel van hulle?
Dankie my oom. jy doen groot werk
White themselves can never take to be reduced to black people level.
You are not welcome here 🇷🇺 you can't have a peace of land here for free no can't go like that viva Julius malema
You already have it you fool. If your disappointment is with race and kan ask the ANC who took away Venda, Transkei, Bophuthatswana ao's land. The goverment is the biggest land owner in the country - why don't they distribute. The EFF professies white genocide which we know will spread to INDIANS and Coloureds. Maybe your problem is that you were surprised by the fact you have to actually work for anything and it is the SA Government, in conju junction with the Chinese ripping you off?
Respek Oom Dirk dat oom mense help.🙏
Karma is real thing, sometimes the table turns and everybody got to experience the other side of the coin.
I don't think it's fair to blame all white people for the apartheid regime...I mean as a coloured person this sort of lifestyle independent of the government seems like a dream...I don't trust the government for shit.
I agree!
23:43 asseblief moet nie sê julle is Christene as julle so praat nie.
Daar is absoluut geen rede vir die rassistiese taal nie.

I see a lot of pity in the comments.
This is one the few great things you'd find on internet. A camp of both refuge and rehabilitation that is neither a mental hospital or prison. These are not just whites who got poor but whites who got troubled by addiction and other things. Sometimes, being away from so much and being with people who have similar problems, such as yours, can cure you . Thank you, Dirk Van Vuuren, for what you're doing.
I wish we had camps like this for our troubled youth (Amapara kanje) junkies
I don't like some of their attitude, though. However, we are all disappointed about how South Africa is.
Most of these white people will probably be dead in a few years time.
I am from New Zealand, and I hope to visit this amazing country soon. I have been fascinated by the political and social situation in SA since 1976, when our national rugby team visited SA.
Visit n massive trash pile, getting sent to jail for defending yourself against numbers 2:1 who are armed, meet each and every damn mafia in the world here, get harassed by Metro police, clinch your bag to prevent it being stolen, lock yourself up while the sun is still shinning, stand amazed at the technological wonder of a country who produced weapons and exported during the cold war whilst at the same time waging a war....this institution can't built its own attack helicopter, drive IFV into the sea leave it overnight because sappeurs are incapable of retrieving it....@#$ what do you want to see? What is fascinating about it? Taking Israel to the ICJ whilst a party openly at rallies call for the genocide of white people...who coincidentally can't get work anymore due to the ANC's racist labour laws. Working at your desk....next to your mouse a 9mm. Yes the land is beautiful - and that beauty you can see in your own country.
Don't come, we don't want you. thanks
It is their own unwillingness to release their resentment towards non-whites that causes them to feel like they need to live like this. They are not hated / victimised / ostracised by the rest of the population. There are plenty of Afrikaans communities living as normal South Africans.
I don't believe that they should be pitied any more than the average South African - who is inevitably facing a variety of struggles. If only they could see past race and understand that we are all in this shit together.
That being said - I am glad that they have a place to go where they can feel safe. And I wish them all the best.
You mean the governments resentment with their 119 race based laws excluding them from a country they built, when they landed in the Cape in 1652 as documented by the Portuguese the only people living in South Africa were bushman and not bantu tribes - a typical ignorant statement from an arm chair view of the world. You say there are plenty of communities living like normal South Africans - so why not name a few of those communities?
@@DJ-st4rs Excluding them from what exactly? Because I still see over 80% of the white population making up the top 10% of wealth, employment and opportunities in South Africa. Somehow the 20% or so who fail only fail due to "exclusion"?
Lol were bushmen 😅
@@DJ-st4rs how are they excluded! They dont want to be included! Come on there is plenty of afrikaans people living well in South Africa! Yes crime is high but its not greener on the side.Think they would even accept an English speaking person in their tribe? They would not! They are victimising themselves!
Yes! I agree!!!!
May God bless you Oom Dirk. I pray that God gives you more strength and wisdom to continue to do his good work. I speak life, blessings and prosperity on that farm.
Lol what a joke
came across this by accident. well done Meneer. went to your website and i am impressed with your work. keep it up. im hoping to donate/assist in the near future. god bless

Im an 34 year Old Afrikaans Boy...And this Was Very Difficult to Watch, But I couldn't stop Watching
I also found it hard to watch.
Same here. I immigrated to the Netherlands and to watch those left behind suffer like this is quite hard.
@@ArnoSnyman007 It's difficult to watch because they share the same skin color as you, right?. Black people suffer more in S.A. I left for Asia three years ago, and it pains me to see anyone struggle back home, irregardless of color. In S.A, black people govern while white people control the economy. Why can't they find a way to make it work?
I fully understand the anger but I'm sure there are also black people who want to live the same way in piece an harmony. Please when recording your videos try stay away from hatespeach it only shows that South Africa will never change. Love all making it to survive in these brutal times
Armoede is oral. Poverty prevails amongst all race groups in SA. Laat ons hande vat, van dorp tot dorp en mekaar help. Let us reach out and rebuild the lives of those in need! Dankie Oom Dirk!
I truly appreciate oom dirk work. But for the old man living in a trailer calling us blacks kaffer and baboons jackals . Wow I can never forgive that. I still wish to visit this farm to come contribute my good. Under humanity. Not skin or anything. Because in the end we human. What makes us suffer is the definition n pride of skin tone .
Wanna appologize on his behalve but rather not that's innexcusable.
@@user-kk4lw4mr6i he was wrong about his words. But I came to think about it after. Kinda of forgave him. Because he old and he grew up in that Era. We probably have black people calling white people bad names. We need to have conversation about such topics. Not the bs tutu Mandela gave us. Only way to win both society's come out acknowledge past and talk even anc will lose that day. Anc doesn't want a rainbow nation like thy claimed. Listen to them . But appreciate your respect and time
Exactly what I thought but Forgive him for yourself. In my comment above I mentioned it !
I fully agree with u. In my language which is Setswana, it is said " tshwene ha i ipone makopo ", which means that a baboon does not see that it is a baboon. We forgive him, it is how he was taught and he is paying the price of poverty as the results his racism and apatheid.
@@johnnymohane4494exactly no pity for these fools at all 😂 you get what you put into the world . I've been around old black folks but they don't act like that???
I feel for them but why are they so racist😢They need to check their hearts...
Black South Africans should know all too well what discrimination toward your people can do to you. It has effected these people more than people like me in highly demanded industries. It still doesn't compare against the acceptable racism being shown towards the Afrikaner post-94'. "Dubul' ibhunu" was deemed not hate speech just the other way. Julius is a prime example on how racism towards Afrikaners are acceptable. It is only expected from the Afrikaners not to be racist anymore, but not the majority.
With that said, I do think people should just stop being so nasty to each other. People should bury these hateful words and songs. Otherwise it will eat us up from the inside.
@@ArnoSnyman007 White people hated black people even before Apartheid, "Dubul' ibhunu" is a song that was borm from the hate white people had for black people. White people need to look t themselves in the mirror because they are the sorce of their own problems
There are HUGE problems in this country. BUT if you worship Jesus our Creator there is no place for negative and Rubbish Talk. WHY mention the K word numerous times. Its NOT necessary and inflames others.. So WHY do it ( To Inflame others !!!)
Die k woord is net die waarheid
The word K, which is will always be mentioned as long as it is used against anyone. We contained our peace by not responding in a negative way against the poor old man who used it, Kaffers, and swartness, bobejans,so and so, however we are loving and civilized nation which is not easily provoked by negative utterances of an old failed, hopeless ,angry, full of hatred and demon possessed man .
You hear what they are saying and feel sorry for them, but then you listen to what they are saying and feel indifferent.
I can speak afrikaans and the language and their beliefs are outrageous. These people will never be satisfied with anything other than their old racist apartheid lives.
I dare you to live with the blacks a week, and see how you think. They are not like us... I promise you. Don't judge these people, before experiencing their burden.
Most ignorant comment in the history of comments. Cry harder!

What annoyed/amazed me is the heading of the video. Should it not rather be White Squatters. White under privaleged or anything else. What is the video about. Keeping the slogan APARTHEID alive or the challenges the people are facing.
I love how they all do their bit within their community. Everyone has a role and every role has a purpose.
I’m 45 and I’ve been out of South Africa for 24 years now. This has been very confronting to watch…… my heart bleed for my people 😢 it’s heartbreaking.
You’ll be shocked! I’ve lived here all my life and honestly on the daily wherever I go I can’t help but think how clean and nice everything looked 15+ years ago. There is litter everywhere, grass and landscape around roads are not maintained so it looks like a jungle, potholes then crime etc. Rather be happy you got to get out of this sh*thole.
Come and take them so that can also go back where they coming from

I feel relieved for the assistance to the poor Boers in SA now discriminated.Greetings from Costa Rica
Whose discriminating againts the boers the majority of black people are living like this while the minority of whites are rich
The Boers in SA are not discriminated against. They are just not favoured anymore. The loss of priviledge often feels like oppression to the entittled. There is much higher poverty levels and unemployment levels among black people, but somehow having a few poor white people is looked at as discrimination. Just shows the entrenched racism in people's minds
That's junkies, the property owner helps them rehab.
There's no boer being discriminated in sa
@@Carlosbnker there is no denying it. There are 119 racial discriminatory laws against white South Africans. Just the other day, my one old colleague told me that my previous employer decided that they will no longer employ or promote white South Africans. I wouldn't call that not being discriminated against. If this happened in Europe, you will not hear the end of it.
They live better than those living in shacks in Alexandria which I believe there’s less of violence, everyone is entitled to work but not to get up in the morning and smoke nyaoepe. A village without taverns every corner. People may laugh at them but they honestly live better than fellow brothers and sisters living Tembisa with blocked toilets and trash compounds by the roads

Hello from Italy 🇮🇹
Sometimes poverty and brainwashing, is hand to hand....These people are full of hate, you cannot kill hate with hate.
True
Try living with very aggressive and angry nation that is always blaming whites for what is happening to them today ,and the government that brings this against whites by telling them a bunch of lies that they made up ,if you think it's so wonderful come and live here ,you'll be looking over your shoulder continuesly I guarantee you.
Where's the hate it's resignation, the 1 or 2 who hate are old and indoctrinated by aparth&d
I think this is true. It is evident from some of the statements made and language used. In no way is hatred a solution. Since you are from Italy, the piece that you might be missing is that in previous years and especially during the Apartheid, each side was born and raised to generally dislike and mistrust each other. It was part of the older generations' upbringing and even their education. And it has been passed down in certain generations, especially in pockets of communities where there hasn't been much integration. Fortunately, for the majority of South Africans, we have managed to integrate and, in doing so, understand and respect each other better. I fear for those on either side that haven't had that opportunity because that's where hatred and blame festers. On a side note, there's a lovely book translated by a South African author, Dalene Matthee, that records Italians coming to South African to farm with silk worms. It's called Mulberry Forest. If you can get the book, I think you will find it very interesting.
It's fair to say that, and I tend to agree with you, but sometimes your views are shaped by what you have experienced. If you and your loved ones had been raped/murdered/ stolen from and discriminated against by a certain race group, you might find yourself developing a dislike for that race group.
Its not a matter of black and white. Its a matter of good or bad. I appaude what this man is doing for his fellow people. I would join him in his endeavors but i am in the Eastern Cape.
The Uncle is doing great work!! God bless him and every one on the farm! I totally agree with his statement: criminals are ruling the country, both white and black, and its the reason of growing criminality rate among general population and source of growing poverty, both black and white population. Only repentance before God is the only solution. I would also like black leaders doing the same kind of work for the black poor, the same kind of charity. Is there such?...
You do find small areas that do, but not like this. The government is riding on the good will of Mandela, while robbing the country blind. They don't care about those in poverty.
The difference between the Afrikaners and the African population is that the Afrikaners has always believed in helping themselves, whereas the Africans always want the government to help them, which they clearly are not doing. This is no criticism, just stating the facts. If the Africans can have that same 'can do' mentality, you will see South Africa flourish.
I left for Asia three years ago, and it pains me to see anyone struggle back home, irregardless of color. In S.A, black people govern while white people control the economy. Why can't they find a way to make it work?

I feel sorry for these Dutch people stuck in Africa. They will probably have to leave Africa eventually, and return home to Europe. A very sad situation, because they didn't personally choose to live there. It's based on things that happened hundreds of years ago.
Really? Maybe you have not been paying attention - Europe is over, you will be minorities in Europe in 20-30 years. When they arrived in the Cape in 1652 there was not a single black tribe in the Cape, only bushmen - they met the first black tribes in 1785, 580 miles North East when the tribes invaded South Africa and chased out the bushmen, the bushmen were the first to arrive in South Africa, then the Europeans and then the black tribes. The Xhosa kings list is only 290 years, the last black tribe known as the venda entered South Africa in the 1660s, when the whites arrived, so did many of the black tribes - if you or anyone doubts, go read the diaries of Vasco Da Gama which recorded where they found the 1st black tribes, not in South Africa but in Mozambique.

After watching this whole documentary, I completely understand why these people are where they are. I thank oom Dirk for taking these social rejects in and keeping them isolated from the civilized world.
South Africa is no civilized country. They are more civilized on that farm than any township you will ever see.
This camp is definitely on the radical side. Regardless of your race this sort of mindset won't change our country for the better. I understand these people are troubled outcasts that can't assimilate anywhere else, and most people would agree that this sort of lifestyle is not a solution for the country's problems
How can they claim to be godly if they're so racist and divided and see black people as less than? They pray with their mouths but not with their hearts. Does it not make prayer meaningless then? This video was a bit much. The country needs to move forward together. Not divided. This won't help anyone.
wake up
I pray God bless all the people of the world ❤
Many black South African faced the same situations , mostly in the villages. The only solutions for them was to travel to the cities every day to look for a low paying jobs. They would buy a weekly bus tickets to clean people's houses and do gardening jobs. The first bus that leaves the village to the city is at 3am in the mornings, and people are still using that bus to this day. Only black people wakeup that early in the mornings and worked for that small salary.
They had no choice because they needed that little money. People who lived close to the cities, never wanted to those jobs. Today they are victims and marginalized.
you really have the wrong end of the stick
This is beautiful too much. I wish all of you the best.
A very "grown up" response from you, seeing the good and the bad, but focusing on the good. Thank you for that, we need more people like yourself.....
Wonderful man,Oom Dirk these people on his farm are truly blessed.
I am a follower of Jesus myself, but in the New Testament, for example, there was the black prophet Simeon among the apostles and the man who carried Jesus' cross was probably also black. There were many black people in Israel. The eunuch to whom Philip preached the gospel was from Ethiopia, so he was also black. There is no place for racism in the Bible
Thats a lot of garbage, you say probably because your mind is black, we know what the apostles looked like we have their paintings from ancient times found on the ceilings now on display - if there is no place for racism in the bible why does the entire bible focus on one people? The same people who Christ told his apostles, I have come but unto the house of Israel, the 12 tribes of Israel taken into captivity - the entire bible is about God separating the sheep from the goats - Dont worry, you will have to live with them in Europe
There were more black people involved that meets the eye! The wife of moses was Ethiopian too!! Afrikaans people are of Western European stock! Many centuries prior to European colonisation, the Western Europeans were an insular people! They were not really aware of the world.After being christianised they imagined the biblical characters to be just like them in race! That misconception was ingrained in the Western European mindset and carried through! Most biblical characters and nations were not blond hair and blue-eyed people! Yes, over the centuries, cultures have mixed, especially with the imperialistic roman empire ! I believe that even Jesus was darker skinned .If you look at the Middle East today, you have a spectrum of skin shades! Even the Ethiopian queen visited Israel !And many more! These people need to be educated!
It nevause of HARSH discrimination against whites in this country, eg BEE, that those whites have no future anymore!! They must look after themselves 😡
The black people in Isreal were the Canaanites ,which was actually there before Abraham and his family was told by God to leave his home in Ur and to the land Canaan ,blacks are originally from the Middle East not from Africa as everyone thought ,it was through invasions of many countries into Isreal after the crucifixion of Jesus ,Jews and Canaanites were sold as slaves to the European countries ,and even England
Racism is something been taught. Even Moses sister was punished by God by being racist against Moses wife
Hoekom apartheid? Die oom kan help wie hy wil. Wonderlike werk wat hy doen. Ek hoop daar is n kerk. Dankie oom
Looks so good but I can't understand anything, if I put the captions on I can't see it.......I very much wanted to watch this.
What a cliche
Good work intertwined with hateful slogans ..
Mag God ALMAL in hierdie kamp seèn. Amen 🙏 🙏
That pendulum swing is harsh. They didn't see that
It will swing back again, It's called History.
Mag God jou seen oom Dirk
i would love to visit this place
god bless you
If he gets into your home with weapons. He does not leave.
Their racist remarks and thoughts will keep them poor. Welcome to the real world.
But at that age who wants money ? You don't think Logic
Exactly 😂no pity for these idiots . How can you hate the natives of a country that you live in ???
What racist remarks. "Racist" is the only word you know. Is Malemma a racist for calling white genocide or a prkphet of the new african dawn where he will in any event oppress your own people. Roll up your sleeves, help your peopls and stop talking nonsense.
eish i thought i was the only one hearing the BLATANT racist remarks, and then for Oom to also be racist so blatantly really dampened my mood to the whole documentary.....sad
@@thabondabambi4927 yebo thabondabambi --- what I write is with love for all people but something special for the black folk. Please read and I hope you understand what I am saying without prejudice. What keeps the black people poor is (a) their obsession with "racism" and (b) "apartheid". If you look at the townships built in the years of apartheid what do you see? Proper brick houses with water and electricity in a yard. If you look at the white suburbs what do see - rows and rows of high storey two bedroom flats. Why is this? It's because the white people did not own land, they could not afford renting houses and could not afford travelling to work - so the flats were built near the station or city centre so they could walk to work. Afrikaners where not employed by English companies that is why so many ended up in the civil service. The war we fought on the Angolan border was to protect Namibia people from being murdered by SWAPO and communism. We did not fight the MK. Blacks enjoyed job projection - at Iscor (Mittal) black people could not loose their jobs because of technological advances that could do the work with machinery. I paid for my own studies - night classes quarter past 5 till half past nine. Where are the houses the ANC promised? The state hospitals are so bad we went to collect my mother in law with a broken hip after 4 days when I dokter had still not seen her. I discharged myself from hospital because the nurses had an attitude aand did not assist me. Is this racism? In the apartheid years there were 3 black republics - Venda, Transkei, Bophuthatswana - each had their own armies, police, universities and was founded on ancestral land. What happened to these republics - the ANC destroyed them and blame the whites for stealing land. You do know that the government owns the most land in the country - why don't they distribute it, why don't they pay the young black youth a wage to built houses on this land. Instead they murder the farmer's, murder the whites, murder their own people. If Julius Malema call for the genocide of white people....is that racist, criminal....what does he want. Do you realise that the ANC has destroyed every SOC and NCA in this country. They take Israel to the ICJ for genocide but profess it themselves. You know why they did this? South Africa is bankrupt broer - the ANC has no money. Somebody, probably Russia and China paid them a lot of money to do this so now they are smiling again. Did you get any benefit? I want to ask you - do you really think the white people does not know that blacks, indians and Coloureds talk about about whites in racist terms? Do you know how much the blacks hate Coloureds and Indians? Do you expect that once all whites have been killed or left there will be peace between blacks, coloureds and indians? So my dear brother, blacks are beautiful people with beautiful traditions but you have been blinded by politics. It is a tradegy. God bless you and your family. 👍
Mathew 20 verse 16 this is just one of God revaluations 🙏
I happened upon this "documentary"..was confusing for me...
But if u happy, then Glory to God most high.
Stay blessed
There are days when I feel the world on my back and life feels like a heavy slog but then I see how others battle and I feel blessed beyond what I believe is possible. Bless this community our dear Lord. SA can improve and prosper as a rainbow nation. Our politicians want races to hate each other in order to stay in power so propaganda is working very well in SA.
I am a black South African woman and I believe in God. I think from the comments we are promoting division. My question is, what is different between black and white people? There are still more black people who are struggling with life. I am not saying that this people deserve what they are going through but to categorise it on a certain group is to say that it is fine for the other group to suffer. It is until when we can come together and unite against the unjust of the nation to find solutions where we can live the life that God created us for. I am challenged by the fact that it’s like there are people who are born to suffer while others are not supposed to suffer and I don’t know who said that? Don’t get me wrong. No one and I mean no one is supposed to suffer in any place. If we can look at the reality and the number we can see that it’s not about a specific group. We are God’s people and He love us all the same. It is until when we stop categorising ourselves and placing ourselves in groups that we will see life from the creation.
Wow❤😢

Met God alles is goed
Which europe country are these people ancestor come from? And which langunge are they talking about ...?
From holland, speaking afrikaans
They mainly came from Dutch heritage but also German and French and slaves from other parts of the world. The language started as Dutch but eventually branched out into its own language called Afrikaans.
Not European.....African whites
Ek hiul in my hande en bid vir Oom Dirk vir crede en vir elke persoon saam met hom en sy famielie mag YHWH hulle almal seen
Good to help people in need but do not preach rassism.
Wat ek waardeer is dat dit so mooi skoon is by julle hou dit so asb.
seen en hou almal veilig. wonderlik om te sien hoe mense na mekaar kan kyk en ondersteun.... dis nogals n trane trekker die storie. Hoop almal kry hulle stukkie geluk
I'm surprised at the amount of blindly positive comments on this video.
What he's doing is kind for a lot of people, I have no doubt that he is changing lives. But there is so much racism behind his motivations - it kind of overshadows a lot of good feelings about it. I feel like that settlement is an echo chamber for racist sentiments, and people blaming BEE for their circumstances.
The truth is, in any society, there will be poor people of every ethnicity. Many of the people in Filadelfia Ark were alive and adults during Apartheid, and it seems that most of them weren't educated and probably weren't well-off beforehand either... But now, they just have an excuse for it. Not sure why this documentary is spinning this weird narrative.
(Reference: Myself, as a white person in South Africa)
Thank you so much, It's important to recognize and discuss the potentially racist motivations that may be obscured by acts of donation or the use of religious texts like the Bible. These actions can sometimes serve as a veneer for deeper prejudices or discriminatory agendas.
I feel the same as you, these people are the ones who make black people think all whites are racist, I'm tired of trying to prove I'm not racist, I'm tired of being called racist, I'm tired of black people treating me as a racist. It's because of these people. How are we supposed to get respect from other races if this is still going on, they still living in the past.
Great doccie! i think they need a new hairdresser thought 🤣
God Bless
People live like zombies, but it's better than on the street, probably 😢
