JAJAJAJA, This is not unique to South Africa, many of these people that you call coloured, exist in Latin America, and we call them mulatos, which are people of European and African descent. These people are found mainly in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the Caribbean Islands.
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.
A lot of Americans ask me: "So what's it like in Africa?" and not "South Africa". They don't know the difference. Also, it's like they expect the animals to run free on the roads.THEY DON'T LMAO
Wow, with all the negativity on most social media platforms this video and its comments are so refreshingly positive. No trolls trying to divide our people but rather respect for each other and their differences. Gives me hope and just such a lekker feeling. Love you SA!!
Thank you so much Chantelle for representing us so well. You were sensitive to us as a nation and did not exclude anyone intentionally. I like your perspective, quite refreshing to see
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". ❤🇿🇦 Such a crazy unique place. This video made me seriously homesick!
The love of my life was from South Africa. He used to fuss at my little dog in Afrikaans when he barked too much and I loved hearing it lol. It's been 13 years since he died and I still miss him all the more when I hear that accent :/
Sorry to hear that ... im sure he was a great guy ... I used to have a fog named vleis(meat) ... I everyone loved when i used to shout ... "Veeeer-leeeis .... Kom heir so !!!!" .... I miss vleis
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.
I'm glad she started off saying she isn't representing all South Africans, it's so annoying watching videos like these and people think that one South African embodies all South African cultures & people
I think some countries are homogeneous, so a Dutch or a German person can typically speak for a lot of people. South Africa is one of those countries where its hard to speak for everyone.
Thank you to the Australian who said about the crime "so basically like every other country"...finally people realise that crime is not a "South African" thing
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.
The problem with South Africa's crime is the level of associated violence with the crime. High numbers of murder, rape and gun crimes in SA makes it considered extra dangerous.
Honestly im just happy that they like took the time to ask these questions. As a Black South African it just means a lot. And personally my fave South African food is probably melk tert or s,khambane(kota)

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.
Folke Hoffmann thats so cool. A direct translation of that into Afrikaans is Yes, No its finished with "is" being translated into "dis" and "klar" being translated into "klaar". I love how our languages connect us in such awesome ways!
@@roy_blake We kinda use it to end a discussion in German. By saying "Ja nee is' klar" we mean something like "end of discussion, you are definetely wrong and you know it yourself!". Like my poor friend tries to tell me that she has a lot of money and I'll be like "Ja nee is' klar. That's why I just had to help you out with money."

When I was abroad, I met a person who argued with me that South Africa 'cannot possibly be a county', and called me a liar the entire night. I never thought I'd ever question my nationality😐
I'd tell them to give me a fucking break 😂😂the fuck they meant SA can't possibly be a country? Where did they think you lived then? On the edge of a rock? 😂🤦🏻♂️
I enjoyed Chantel's answers; every single one of them! I am a black South African and you showed how truly South African we can be despite our different races. ❤
Just a correction. Pretoria’s name didn’t change. It’s still Pretoria. Tshwane just refers to the broader metropolitan area within which Pretoria is situated.
@@bensenzo In 2021 Covid Delta Strain happens my bru, it's like when shit happens, but from your lungs not your ass. well actually it does happen from your ass too come to think of it... But still no name change
Chantelle, you did a great job. My wonderful husband was an english speaking south african . I lived there for 6 years, in Durban and had our 2 sons there. My husband loved his land and all its people and and I loved the south afican in him. Miss him and South Africa very much, so of the kindest most helpful people I met were south african and especially black south africans.
Omg I'm so happy that SA stood out finally it's so nice to have Chantelle explain our country yay I was actually also answering the questions that came on the screen I feel special after this video so yeah also some slang unique words in SA are braai, is it a bad nie, shame, lekker etc. So shout out to all South Africans🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦😍and also south Africans are very kind
Glad you piped up. Mentioning coloured in the UK or US is seen a offensive. I nearly lost my job in the UK referring to me coloured friend in stead of mixed race.
I'm really proud of her as a South African bc as a coloured myself I didn't think she would add us in there as say such nice things about us but she knew her facts and I really liked her
South Africa would be nothing without our coloured community. The most straight talking nation in the world. And the best tasting fish meals on the planet...
@@johnlaw5762 you mean that they ARE the SA culture … they are the fruit of the land, they can move on from the past of white Dutch colonisation and the genocide of natives and segregation and racism and etc and then if the racism is tackled, there can be a united front
I’m here for when Chantelle said: “we were a British Colony for a few years” And British Sam be there like: 😬😬😬 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m proud of you Chantelle you did a good job in answering the questions about our lovely Nation 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 🌈 ❤️❤️❤️

How times have changes in 2 years: according to WIKI Noun. Zaza (plural Zazas or Zaza) A member of an ethnic minority of Iranian origin in eastern Turkey.
When she said she was south african and moved to Korea, my first reaction was "Nice, she got out." But seeing how proud she is about SA is refreshing. It can be a very negative place but it really is beautiful if you can look past a lot of the issues holding it back. We live in a beautiful place and I wish appreciating that was more wide-spread
@@bensenzo those not of South Africa shall never know for thou has not lived to see what it is like. Jk. It's just that many people prefer other countries, especially when it comes to universities/education. And just that other countries seem more interesting. I may still be saying bullshit tho, I may be south african but I'm no expert
This is a well made video. I like how she answered the questions with her impressive knowledge and understanding of our country. Her explanations are both clear and simple to understand for a non- South African. Goeie werk! - Great work! Hope as she suggests another video is done on our diverse foods and cuisines
Good answers Chantelle. I discovered this channel today and really like it. You guys are very kind, considerate and good natured. "Kom gerus en besoek ons land, julle sal dit geniet"
Thank you Korean Billy for creating such a great interview for South Africa, we all really appreciate what you have done for are country and thanks to you, the rest of the world finally understands that South Africa is a strange but beautiful country filled with great people.
some South African foods and snacks: snacks: Biltong, nicknacks, Droëwors, Rusks, chappies, corn nuts (and of course) ZOO BISCUITS!! deserts (some sweet snacks): Koeksisters, melktert (milk tart), malva pudding, lemon meringue pie, peppermint crisp (fridge) tart, coconut ice, (cape) brandy pudding. savoury foods: bobotie (basically mince, spices among other things and prounounced as Ba-bwo-ti), potjie, Chakalaka, wors and pap (pap is a maize sort of porridge, wors (or Boerewors) is south african sausage that is usually braaied, if you are wondering pap is pronounced p-u-p and Boerewors is pronounced b-o-ra-v-o-r-s), Bunny chow (hollowed out bread filled with curry), vetkoek (fire baked or braaied type of bread, I don’t know how to explain it hahah, pronunciation is f-e-t-c-o-o-k), and we love sweet and savoury pastries! (this is definitely not the whole list of foods, but I’m not going to list them all, please reply with anymore foods you can think of!)
You missed Potjie! (Pronounced Poy - key [poy like toy]) But this is a damn solid list! Made my mouth water! For those who don't know: potjie is a stew cooked in a cauldron over open flames. Mostly meat (most South Africans eat meat), but can be veggies too. Can be spicey/ curry flavoured as well. Loads of varieties. Oxtail is my fav! ❤
Oooh! Also, all the seafood (I'm from Cape Town, so grew up with ALL the fish and shellfish) Geelstert, geelbek, snoek, galjoen, king klip, crayfish, mussels, calamari, abalone! Omg! Braaied, fried, grilled, battered, whatever. And the fish shops near the seaside just know how to cook the stuff. Ok. I'm done now 😂
As a fellow proud South African. I approve of this wholeheartedly. She's a true South African. She mentioned how patient we are. Our biggest trait. Allows us to survive anything, anywhere. Chantel jou yster!!!
Well maybe not the accent but the jargon is similar to that of the Brits. Fun fact England many has different accents depending I which area you from, so the was no way that South Africans would sound Brittish
@@Handreach1 Actually some of the British enclaves over there in SA do sound quite posh. And over here in England, just going down the street to Chelsea or to the east end loads of accents can be heard some would even be described as a dialect
@Hercules Wasserman 😅 not to offend anyone but there is actually two Afrikaans accents present in SA but I'm assuming she is referring to the white Afrikaans accent
As a South African, she did an awesome job representing all of us - it’s a really big country (the Kruger Park is the size of Wales), with a very diverse populace, so it’s hard to generalise - she did great 😊🥰 I am in Durban on the east coast (KwaZulu Natal), and it takes 10-12 hours to drive to the Kruger Park for me, and 24 hours of straight driving to get to Cape Town (could be longer, depends on the route)…It really is the most beautiful country 🌺

When I was abroad, I met a person who argued with me that South Africa 'cannot possibly be a county', and called me a liar the entire night.
I never thought I'd ever question my nationality😐
I'd tell them to give me a fucking break 😂😂the fuck they meant SA can't possibly be a country? Where did they think you lived then? On the edge of a rock? 😂🤦🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Was this person perhaps an American? 🤣😂
Glenda Philips sounds about right 😏.
Lmfao
0:36 I loved the fact that she started off with that very important disclaimer/notice!
Well done, Chantelle! You did a great job representing. Love from S.A.
I enjoyed Chantel's answers; every single one of them! I am a black South African and you showed how truly South African we can be despite our different races. ❤
Didn't realize how little I knew about my country until now. This was so enlightening and fun to watch. Thanks for representing our country so well. ❤
Just a correction. Pretoria’s name didn’t change. It’s still Pretoria. Tshwane just refers to the broader metropolitan area within which Pretoria is situated.
Yup
wait til you come to 2021
@@smashblaze5171 it still didn't really change🧍🏾♀️
@@smashblaze5171 why happens in 2021?
@@bensenzo In 2021 Covid Delta Strain happens my bru, it's like when shit happens, but from your lungs not your ass. well actually it does happen from your ass too come to think of it... But still no name change
She represented us very well. I’m so proud of you❤️
She really did. She spoke so proudly and truthful about her country.
Chantelle, you did a great job. My wonderful husband was an english speaking south african . I lived there for 6 years, in Durban and had our 2 sons there. My husband loved his land and all its people and and I loved the south afican in him. Miss him and South Africa very much, so of the kindest most helpful people I met were south african and especially black south africans.
I'm South African and everything she said is correct.
Except that Pretoria is the only capital city, we actually have 3, Cape Town, Bloemfontein and Pretoria.
@@superstefano7895 but Pretoria is like the capital CAPITAL. When people speak of just one, it's usually PTA
@@superstefano7895 she said it was "part" of the capital cities
우와 빌리님 채널에 제가 사는 남아공이 언급되니 괜히 더 반갑네요~~😍😍😍🇿🇦
Pretoria’s name hasn’t officially been changed. Since 2005 there hasn’t been a finalisation of the change due to controversy.
Not even half way through and I am loving the way my fellow South African sister is answering these questions! Proudly SA for sure ! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The sensitivity with which she addressed certain issues, am super impressed.!!Well done. 👌🙏
Chantelle explained everything so perfectly 🔥🔥 no bias! Straight up facts!!
“Why is internet so expensive”
Because greed that’s why...
🤣🤣
The correct answer is Exploitation! Milking us to the bone.
It is actually a political reason. The government does not want to allow more bandwidth onto the market. With 5G they will be forced to.
Insufficient capital for infrastructure. For us atleast in Cape town, we just fibre a few years ago and still some people getting fibre
@@marieslabbert6009 yes, that's why our Internet has been improving lately, especially with 5g and lte
I'm South African, I love how Chantelle is representing us💕
"Yes No" haha a classic South African 😂
I was like they're prolly confusion 🤣
I laughed out loud when I heard it.
Ja nee hoor.
Yeah usually it's in Afrikaans like Ja nee dis sommer...
Omg I'm so happy that SA stood out finally it's so nice to have Chantelle explain our country yay I was actually also answering the questions that came on the screen I feel special after this video so yeah also some slang unique words in SA are braai, is it a bad nie, shame, lekker etc. So shout out to all South Africans🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦😍and also south Africans are very kind
Chantelle putting us on the map
I love how she’s so educated about her country this is so beautiful
Mooi man Chantelle, mooi gedaan. So proud to see representation from the South 🇿🇦
Well done. We honestly are blessed to live in a beautiful diverse country. Great weather, great food, great people. Regards from Port Elizabeth.
As a coloured I'm really proud of the way she explained how unique we are 😍💗
Coloured?.. what does that mean ?.
@@juliansearcie1758 multiracial.
Black - white - asian
Black - Asian
Asian - white
Black - white
That's their mix
But there's nothing really unique about the country. I'd say the region, yes. Not South Africa specifically.
Glad you piped up. Mentioning coloured in the UK or US is seen a offensive. I nearly lost my job in the UK referring to me coloured friend in stead of mixed race.
Coloured is offensive in the States.
I'm really proud of her as a South African bc as a coloured myself I didn't think she would add us in there as say such nice things about us but she knew her facts and I really liked her
You are a beautiful and crucial part of our SA culture!
South Africa would be nothing without our coloured community. The most straight talking nation in the world. And the best tasting fish meals on the planet...
@@johnlaw5762 you mean that they ARE the SA culture … they are the fruit of the land, they can move on from the past of white Dutch colonisation and the genocide of natives and segregation and racism and etc and then if the racism is tackled, there can be a united front
Ok ok
No hate I promise
I just feel the need to say this
AWEH MA SE KIND WELKOM INNIE KAAP
Thank you for acknowledging coloureds and saying its an ethnic group this lady knows her stuff 👏🏽
I’m here for when Chantelle said: “we were a British Colony for a few years”
And British Sam be there like: 😬😬😬
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m proud of you Chantelle you did a good job in answering the questions about our lovely Nation 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 🌈 ❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact:
An average south african speaks 4 languages and understands 8
I only know 2! Haha
Then u get my stupid ass who can only speak Afrikaans and English 😂
I know 15😎

Yho, Chani answered so well 😭🥰 you can tell she's a proud SAn ❤️🇿🇦
Sawubona
Ive been waiting the longest for this 😂😂😂
Me toooooo
Sameeee
She also pronounced languages pretty well (except for Xhosa).
When she said she was south african and moved to Korea, my first reaction was "Nice, she got out."
But seeing how proud she is about SA is refreshing. It can be a very negative place but it really is beautiful if you can look past a lot of the issues holding it back. We live in a beautiful place and I wish appreciating that was more wide-spread
Believe me, one misses SA A LOT here in Korea.
She got out of what?😳
@@bensenzo those not of South Africa shall never know for thou has not lived to see what it is like.
Jk. It's just that many people prefer other countries, especially when it comes to universities/education. And just that other countries seem more interesting.
I may still be saying bullshit tho, I may be south african but I'm no expert
This is a well made video. I like how she answered the questions with her impressive knowledge and understanding of our country. Her explanations are both clear and simple to understand for a non- South African. Goeie werk! - Great work! Hope as she suggests another video is done on our diverse foods and cuisines
I'm south African and girl you know your facts and yes it's time to educate 👏👏
I agree with her, proudly South African
1:39 "Yes, no ..." yeah there we go - spoken like a true South African :)
Ja nee
Good answers Chantelle.
I discovered this channel today and really like it.
You guys are very kind, considerate and good natured.
"Kom gerus en besoek ons land, julle sal dit geniet"
as a South African thank you for this 💜🦋 really means alot
Thank you Korean Billy for creating such a great interview for South Africa, we all really appreciate what you have done for are country and thanks to you, the rest of the world finally understands that South Africa is a strange but beautiful country filled with great people.
I can’t believe I didn’t know about ZA and Rand background 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣
Me too didn't know
Haai pela us we saw money and moved😂😂😂

"Why is south africa dangerous?" Our l o v e l y government.
some South African foods and snacks:
snacks: Biltong, nicknacks, Droëwors, Rusks, chappies, corn nuts (and of course) ZOO BISCUITS!!
deserts (some sweet snacks): Koeksisters, melktert (milk tart), malva pudding, lemon meringue pie, peppermint crisp (fridge) tart, coconut ice, (cape) brandy pudding.
savoury foods: bobotie (basically mince, spices among other things and prounounced as Ba-bwo-ti), potjie, Chakalaka, wors and pap (pap is a maize sort of porridge, wors (or Boerewors) is south african sausage that is usually braaied, if you are wondering pap is pronounced p-u-p and Boerewors is pronounced b-o-ra-v-o-r-s), Bunny chow (hollowed out bread filled with curry), vetkoek (fire baked or braaied type of bread, I don’t know how to explain it hahah, pronunciation is f-e-t-c-o-o-k), and we love sweet and savoury pastries!
(this is definitely not the whole list of foods, but I’m not going to list them all, please reply with anymore foods you can think of!)
You missed Potjie! (Pronounced Poy - key [poy like toy]) But this is a damn solid list! Made my mouth water!
For those who don't know: potjie is a stew cooked in a cauldron over open flames. Mostly meat (most South Africans eat meat), but can be veggies too. Can be spicey/ curry flavoured as well. Loads of varieties. Oxtail is my fav! ❤
Oooh! Also, all the seafood (I'm from Cape Town, so grew up with ALL the fish and shellfish)
Geelstert, geelbek, snoek, galjoen, king klip, crayfish, mussels, calamari, abalone! Omg!
Braaied, fried, grilled, battered, whatever. And the fish shops near the seaside just know how to cook the stuff. Ok. I'm done now 😂
So glad you mentioned Zoo Biscuits! My fav!
Goddamnit, I'm studying abroad and now I'm craving rusks...
And paaper
I'm just gonna leave this here...
KOEKSUSTERS
Carry on.....
I see your koeksister & raise you a melktert
And you know, the real original name is actually Koesister, but the Koeksister is also acknowledged.
Koos van Zyl Koesister and koeksister are actually 2 different things! :)

Currently, I'm living in SA, CapeTown. I truly agree that the internet is slow, however, also is unstable at the same time.
I'm so sorry about that. Don't worry though you'll get used to it. I'm also from Cape Town by the way😅
yup same
Awe maybru I can agree
Fiber is being installed...slowly lol
@Emilee Parks it is
As a fellow proud South African. I approve of this wholeheartedly. She's a true South African. She mentioned how patient we are. Our biggest trait. Allows us to survive anything, anywhere. Chantel jou yster!!!
When they said why do south africans sound british the English dude was struggling not to say
'NO you don't sound British' lol
You must be Nigerian i guess, judging from you comment lol
Imo it kinda looked like he was hoping no one would call him out for his country attempting to annex 70 percent of the world..😅
Well maybe not the accent but the jargon is similar to that of the Brits. Fun fact England many has different accents depending I which area you from, so the was no way that South Africans would sound Brittish
@@lorrenzom sorry to disappoint u m8 lol but what made u think that
@@Handreach1 Actually some of the British enclaves over there in SA do sound quite posh. And over here in England, just going down the street to Chelsea or to the east end loads of accents can be heard some would even be described as a dialect
I'm so In love with the south African accent coming from Australia
lol... there are more South African accents.... so u hv to say you like her particular accent
@@AllHope23 her white south African accent, tho generally female South African have a very soft accent, unless you're coloured or Indian
Hara Yanto *Afrikaans accent, not white south african accent
@Hercules Wasserman 😅 not to offend anyone but there is actually two Afrikaans accents present in SA but I'm assuming she is referring to the white Afrikaans accent
@Hercules Wasserman 😂😂 oh yeah I forgot about those
😂😂 we really do have alot of accents here
She knows a lot and i love how she represented and spoke well for each South African
As a South African, she did an awesome job representing all of us - it’s a really big country (the Kruger Park is the size of Wales), with a very diverse populace, so it’s hard to generalise - she did great 😊🥰 I am in Durban on the east coast (KwaZulu Natal), and it takes 10-12 hours to drive to the Kruger Park for me, and 24 hours of straight driving to get to Cape Town (could be longer, depends on the route)…It really is the most beautiful country 🌺
