    I'm South African and lived in America for 21 years before coming back to South Africa 17 years ago. I enjoy watching your perspective of South Africa. I think it's honest and sincere. I have to add, living in America all those years, I encountered tons of people who genuinely believe that Africa is a totally cursed and messed up place. Let's hope your UA-cam channel will help shutter such ignorance and uninformed prejudices.

    I think your pallets are used to processed, sugary stuff. In SA we have a sugar tax, more sugar and salt, more money you pay, for health reasons they had to be reduced. 😊You'll get used to it

    Dear Freedom Chasers.
    After reading through comments on your other Videos I can say that I was not aware of what you faced in my country. I believe this is the only video I have commented on.
    So I apologize on their behalf.
    As a traveller, I have come across similar situations but I won't name the country (East African country).
    I am happy that I did not insult anyone in your channel. I thought I was sharing information. I did that in good faith.
    I was also not aware that there were such hard feelings between SA citizens and people from my country.
    I will therefore have to leave the channel becuase further comments from me will not improve the situation.
    Best of luck to everyone following and involved with this channel. Good Bye.

    I am not surprised about the sprite and the coke. If you were around before the stupid ANC and their stupid sugar tax came along coke products was much better. Now all coke products taste like water much less sugar, Smaller sizes and way overpriced. There are other sodas that are half the price and taste better. The only coke product that really still sell well is coke itself. They constantly drop the price of sprite and all the other flavors because it is horrible.

    Hi Freedom Chasers.
    Its nice to see you. I admired your East African Videos.
    I am Kenyan and I know that the South Africans hate to hear that word.
    They said it in the BBC video. The video was about Xenophobia in South Africa and it was done by a South African Lady. I have nothing against the South Africans and I admire some of their leaders. All I want is for them to face this problem head on. As I comment I remember the words of one Martin Luther King. "We will remember the silence of our friends". I can't simply keep quiet about South African Xenophobia.
    Let me explain.
    1. Their (South African) beef with the immigrants.
    Those of us who have read history know that USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were built by immigrants. Some of those immigrants were black people who made the country what it is today because of their labor.
    Even today and in spite of the rhetoric from its politicians the Mighty USA is still welcoming immigrants through its lottery system (Green Card?).
    And then there are categories for skilled people. I know Kenyans who were granted work permits in this category.
    Same applies to Cananda, UK and Australia. Of late the UK has recruited a lot nurses and doctors from our country openly and sometimes using government agencies.
    Now imagine it is South Africa recruiting you from Kenya only for you to be evicted from your house by a murderous mob. Now you understand why other Africans get raw nerves when you talk of your South African experience?. The South Africans are only respecting you because they know you are an American.
    They know this from your accent. Otherwise they will call you Kwere Kwere (you dont talk like them) and chase you around. Maybe not. Ask the other Africans there about their experience.
    The South Africans have legalized militias that can drive Black foreigners from their towns. Not my words. Check out the BBC film. Even the mighty USA has a more decent and humane of bringing our unwanted citizens back home.
    2. Treatment of refugees.
    Among the group they are evicting are refugees. If they don't like them they should hand them over to the UN.
    In my own country we have the largest refugee camp in Africa (Dadaab). Are they saying that they are not aware that there is a UN Body that caters for refugees. Or maybe they dont respect the UN conventions.
    Send the Zambweans and Mozambicans (the ones they want to exit) to the UN. Even Uncle Sam does the same. He has no problem with asylam seekers.
    3. Abit of history.
    During the apartheid days most of us Africans were asked to pay a price to liberate South Africa from Apartheid. We were asked not to import South African goods, not to travel (it was stated in our passports) and some African countries housed South African refugees. Their former president (Mbeki) lived in Tanzania. And the frontline states (Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi) would be bombed regularly.
    The Mozambican president (Samora Machel) paid with his life. Yet these are the people they are harassing? Is it fair? South Africa is the only country with this dubious reputation of allowing mobs (legally) to take over the work of the police and immigration department. What if South Africa goes down and then they end up as refugees again? Who will they go to? Kindly ask them these questions.
