      It's such a weird thing to try to explain to non-South Africans in any sensitive kind of way, especially as a white person. I just normally say mixed race - but for many many generations, forming a distinct cultural identity. But even that doesn't feel adequate, because it kind of erases the San/ Khoi, not to mention the Cape Malay influence (especially on the food)! Afrikaans is after all mos "Kitchen Dutch". ❤🇿🇦

      Unfortunately in order to unit a country, you need people willing to forget the past, and not use it as an excuse to push blam on others to cast the light off of you, secondly people need to recognize that south africa was not the land of the blacks but the kois and other tribes that were wiped out by zulus and last but not least stop punishment of companies being forced to give half your company away under the terms of bbe and trying to take land away from farmers the just maybe you can unit a country but that will never happen oh and maybe stop saying that we don't have sufficient people of color blacks in our rugby teams and cricket teams, don't see alot of of other races being excepted in the soccer teams.

      Yes it's not a South African thing, but it's EXTREME in RSA the level of brutality is insane. And sadly we have gotten so used to crime that we rather blame the victim nowadays. Why was she there, why was she wearing that etc. It hit me even more when a girl whom I have met before made headlines in RSA when she was murdered and raped. That made me realize even more that it can happen to anyone.
      Yes there's crime everywhere, but I never realized what "freedom" really was until I got a scholarship to study in Europe. I used to walk at 3am alone to go catch a bus to catch a flight. Travelled around all by myself without being able to speak the languages. I did so many things that wouldn't be safe for me to do back home. I've seen kids as young as 8 taking the bus/cycling/walking to school by themselves etc. That's what is normal not the way we live in fear at home. We are simply used to it, but it's not one bit normal. Not being able to stop at a traffic light at night is not normal same goes for needing violent dogs and high burglar bars. I don't understand why rape and such brutal murders are so common in RSA. My personal opinion is that the one place one should feel safe and secure, should be one's home country.
      I love RSA, but we really need to do better.

    • @MrBlurbman

    So the reason why our internet feels slow and expensive to the rest of the world is because we are so far away from all of the international servers. So our data needs to travel far distances using undersea cables to reach the hosting server and then travel back. This is improving however as more international companies are placing servers in South Africa to replicate data with international servers.

      That could actually be German as well. "Ja nee is' klar" ("yes no it's clear") is something you'll hear quite often here. So I guess that similarity as to do with German and Afrikaans both being germanic languages. They are really close. Actually they are so close that I, as a German, can understand a little written Dutch and a little written Afrikaans.
