Salute to the lady for hustling hard out there. She's a bus driver, runs a food stand & contributes to the radio station giving recipe tips sometimes at the beginning or end of her shift at the bus company. All she wants to do is make money. Very inspiring to anybody trying to create something against odds.
More people in Sa should watch this video. You get a lot of people complaining about our country and always tell us they would migrate..if its like this out there , is it worth it? I dnt think so.
As a expatriate South African of thirty odd years my advice to all immigrants is to start life all over again in a small town and grow with the town, my wife arrived here two years ahead of me and was adopted by the small town folk who made it easy for us to adapt after coming from a big city, good luck and Welkom.
All of the South Africans and Zimbabweans that I have come across in New Zealand, both black and white, have come with much needed skills. We welcome you, and your work and study ethic here. You add value to our economy and I have yet to meet one who bludges off social welfare. It has been great to see so many of you leave behind, and shake off the worst of the racist baggage that your new SA government seems intent on imprinting on all of it's citizens. Wishing you all peace as you settle into Kiwi culture.
We immigrated from the Eastern Cape. We are in our seventies and have not struggled to integrate at all. Best decision of our lives. The only advice we would give is this: when you leave South Africa, LEAVE IT BEHIND YOU and embrace your new country's culture. We love NZ, have no criticisms. We cannot wait to become full citizens. Thank you Aotearoa for allowing us to come into this beautiful land!

Go to another country, embrace, respect, their culture. Not hard to understand eh? You don't come to another country and push your ways and will on their people. Integrate or go home. This is exactly why we are having problems in every damn country. Bloody hell, this pisses me the heck off.
They weren't as hard working in South Africa. They're doing jobs in New Zealand that they wouldn't have touched in South Africa. It's glorious to see the racists struggling
Oh that remark most definately sounds as if it comes from Dunedin the home WHITE EXTREMISM in Aotearoa New Zealand. Gotta watch your racist fat mouth Hone the GCSB is watching and waiting for you and yours to rear your ugly heads...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...HEHEHEEHEEHEHE. About time it did too.
@@Thomas2Chill i am a coloured and yet now they make more than you ever will i have a white friend who moved to austrailia and he doesent struggle he gets paid 3 times as much as he did here and i dont mean more if you take the dollar next to the rand i am thinking of moving to you black racist are getting on everyones nerve coloured white indian and all
I've met and deal with ex pat South Africans on a regular basis for at least 30 years in business and sport, most are wealthy and white and despite the attempts at integration and acceptance of the Maori culture there are always undertones of racism in what they say about "back home" in terms of politics, other things like gardeners and cleaners are soooo expensive here
Its true. The South African who emigrate are usually the ones who are colonialist in thinking. And I'm glad that they're leaving because the rest of South Africa can integrate & build together.
I am Maori, my wife is South African and my kids were born in Australia (I've got the Tri-Nations at my place lol). I have been to South Africa many times and I have found the people very friendly, even when I rag them about the All Blacks. They are a very staunch, proud people with a long history and now many feel displaced since the fall of apartheid. They're still trying to find their place in the world and it hasn't been easy for them. Patience on both sides is called for...patience and understanding. I love South Africans...especially during rugby season lol
Feel misplaced since they stopped killing and oppressing Africans and forceful taking their land and resources , huh, so pathetic and disgusting , how can someone be upset because their opportunity to do evil was taken away?
I was born in NZ and I've met so many nice South Africans in my life. Basically all of the good science teachers at my schools were SA too. I hope they are all going well.
As a pacific islander, the South Africans I've met have been awesome and I am yet to meet one that has a problem integrating. There are bad apples in every community.
Your last sentence speaks volumes Beaz. The ignorance and racism on this thread is, I suppose ironically, astounding. I wonder if all the bigots posting here claim to be conscious and aware and democratic in their spare time.
The homosexual who is complaining is lashing out because he fears them and their ethnic unity. Notice that he’d never utter a complaint to any non-Europeans that behave in the cohesive manners that the Afrikaners do.
In my N.Z. workplace some White Sth Africans considered Maori racially inferior. Many were ex-cops and wouldn't cut the mustard as cops in N.Z. and were accustomed to being Inspectors in S.A. but were merely on the bottom rung in N.Z. They often arrogant pricks who were keen on assaulting other staff and "clients," and sparks would fly if a more senior Maori officer would give orders to an ex-cop Jaape.
This was our life,I started my own auto workshop,was well supported by some wonderful kiwis, just remember life does not carry on where it left off in RSA, have been gone since 96 now in Australia, but thank you NZ still love you guys
I love the way the one ‘poppie’ says that her biggest issue is getting shoes. Maybe she must not go to Payless. Lovely that the bus driver lady opened a ‘tuisnywerheid’.
I'm a kiwi samoan I'm bless to have South African friends. They are very relatable and friendly people. Mad on rugby and cricket will only support nz if not playing against the motherland. Love listening to their accent and the coolest thing we all go to church , this is more I could say about the majority of my friends. Welcome to Aotearoa.
Its sad! I watch a guy named BI on youtube who goes around feeding the poor. Its a blessing to have him but what about the rest of the starving country. If only the government made it affordable to live in S.A than crime wouldn't be so high! Giving my prayers & blessings from *Auckland City*
He’s a very compassionate person among a huge country with a lot of heartless psychopaths who crave things and will get them any way they can. That’s what’s unfortunate about that country which could be a world powerhouse if the right people were in charge.
south african will never adaop,because they cannot believe that they have fallen,or that their great empire they own in south africa has fallen.while in south africa,they lived like kings and queens,they were always on top of the world,and now they have to struggle to adapt somewhere.what you sow is what you reap.
Wooly Zizi when you have personally experienced the horrors of lived in South Africa, you will have the right to make comments like this. The white people who did well there were those that studied, understood business, worked hard to make a decent income and invested wisely. Since the takeover of South Africa by black leaders, the country has fallen because the Communist driven, extremely corrupt ANC government have plundered everything they can. South Africa Airways has gone into liquidation while it's managers paid themselves millions! Municipalities have gone bankrupt. Hospitals are in serious financial difficulties. ESKOM (Electricity supply) is bankrupted. The list is endless. The government racist BEE (black economic empowerment) has all but blocked whites from getting jobs. As a result, the standards of life has plummeted. Crime of all kinds is completely out of control, the police are constantly being caught for corruption and in some parts of the country unemployment is as high as 90%. Farmers are being murdered daily and corrupt president Ramaphosa says its not happening. Apartheid ended many years ago and the 'majority' now run the show. They have had ample time and opportunity to build the country into a successful nation but they have failed dismally. The results speak for themselves. You go live there for a year and you will see for yourself that what is happening there has nothing to do with apartheid or white rule but everything to do with ignorance, low productivity and creeping Communism. Then you can comment in all honesty. And if you are an ex-South African living in NZ, I'd ask why did you not stay there?
I can relate to this I was born in the UK but left when I was 2 years old and spent 18 years living in South Africa. We are now back in the UK and I miss the South African culture very much. South Africa has a magic which is very hard to leave behind . There are a lot of South Africans here in the UK now and a lot of South African shops so we can still get our SA fixes . There are also a lot of SA events we can go to just to bring that South African magic back once in awhile.
@@stikupartist3698 you have no idea what your talking about. People have listen to media controlled by people who want to paint the Afrikaner as all bad. But what people fail to realize is that a large amount of Afrikaners apposed Apartheid. People are not their governments
They are in a foreign land and now want to speak afrikaans there.They must speak English! Not long they will want afrikaans only schools and .Infact they have already started waving SA flag.Later it will be the Vierkleur flag!
Good on them for finding peace and happiness. I'll never leave though, regardless of what happens here. This is my country, you know? It's worse in some other countries, better in others. God bless them and the people who welcome them.
@@angryblackman857 Why not? I'm assuming you think I'm white based off my name. Well mate, that's a pseudonym. I'm black as can be. Stop being hateful. Our white South Africans are just as South African as us non-whites. I'm not a racist black man like you.
I love how this documentary is just sharing the experiences good and bad honestly. No agenda like our 2018 world :) Would be great if they can do a follow up now a few years later :)
Thank you chandre. I can't quite believe how much hate-speak and sheer ignorance finds its way to this page. I'd love to do a follow up. But don't work for Carte blanche anymore.
I am a south-african married to a austrian, when we came to live in austria permanantly, my husband had a more difficult time than me. My children (german speaking) hated the chance, the only one that loved it was me, I could go and have piano lessons,singing lessons, and go and have coffee in a palace, see art exibitions- I think it depends on a person, I basicly had to pull everyone allong. Hope you really try hard to be happy, its not so difficult, loves and hugs.
My dear unknown friend, reading what you wrote is so refreshing, a lovely change from all the negative crap I have read so far from folk who really have no idea what it is like to rearrange ones life in a new place.. Yes it does take two to Tango, but then again, you can dance with your imagination, the partner with you till death xxxx
@Soso Mama Its always dfificult in the beginning, its a new way of living, there is so many things you could do here that is not possible in south-africa. I wish you good luck.
honestly life is the same everywhere if you see it in contact of the universe. does it really matter if you know that your life is in the hand of nature. we are just stupid pretenders. best is to treat everybody equally with love and understanding. at the end day we should all know that no one is exceptional in the universe. like the simple bacteria like complex life (including humans). we are just event of nature. there is no God but nature.
You people are like spoiled kids ......those people ancestor where there for centuries you people do the same thing wherever you go and the big thing is you want everyone to think your so brilliant and that the blacks can't do anything. When it's really boils down to conditioning. They should go back and fix there mess. Leaving is the worse thing you can do. You just run away from your problems sure go to NZ the problem still persists in the mind of the runner to poison somewhere else👏👏👏
@@jasonpeters2286 Spoiled kids..? I think 'my' people see the writing on the wall. They fear for their lives on a daily basis, increasingly are falling into poverty and watching the country continue to slowly slip towards total chaos.

@@Harry-wb7uv "fear for their lives?" lol spineless cowards ........have you no courage to rebuild SA after plowing her for so long.

I remember moving to the US over 30 years ago. Got to speak to a fellow white Zimbabwean on the phone. He invited my husband and I to his house, but almost died of heart failure when he discovered we were of mixed race.😄😄😄 His loss though, we could have helped him and his wife out in so many ways. They need to learn, that people live together in harmony abroad.
🤣🤣 Omd I’m not surprised. They’re used to people of colour being they’re workers etc Getting help from them is like the worst thing they can ever imagine
Ironically... I was born in then Rhodesia (Salisbury) til 4 years old then my parents moved to Lusaka (Zambia - then Northern Rhodesia)... And loved the local Indigeny and highly respected all from different tribal groups... Down to SA in 1961 - learnt Afrikaans and suffered through dreaded Apartheid thuggery... My one niece is married to an isiXhosa who we all adore and they have two children... My parents instilled a non-prejudicial, respectful attitude into all of us... South Africa is going through a tough time due to corrupt politicians... Sadly locals are not being catered to but life is definitely more equal now and improving somewhat... POLITICIANS... Like BABIES NAPPIES must be changed REGULARLY AND FOR the SAME REASON...
if you emigrate looking back over your shoulder, you'll never settle in your new home. I say this as an English expat: it took me 27 years (and counting) to realise it.
What is not reflected here is that the New Zealand government is actively recruiting South Africans because of their valuable skills and renowned work ethic. I cannot believe the xenophobic stereotyping in the comments!
What is clearly not represented in this video is weather or not New Zealanders actually want South Africans in this country? There seems to be stiff resistance.
"they tend to cluster together" :-) yup there is some truth to that. But part of it is that any immigrant to a new home settles where they land, and newcomers are uncertain of what to expect so seek out ex-Saffers, and that becomes habitual. (We consciously sought to settle where we were not in a Saffer community, but chose wisely and many followed us instead.) So few folk have been shot at outside of ZA, so we are commonly a little traumatised and find solace in mutual understanding. I am so 'bleery' happy that I have not had anyone shoot at me in the last 13 years. Auckland is home, it is truly where my heart is. (And my wife who survived the stress of immigrating here with me is still my soulmate.)
poor migrant cluster cos they r different lloking, insecure. but givnen s african r same europaen stock of people, there is no need. look wehere they r they want to be seprate? and in charge?
People struggle in every society when coming from a foreign countries and usually move among people that share their language and values. That hairdresser just explained a typical American city.
Greetings from Canada. I have a South African friend whose brother back home was murdered in a car jacking. He returns to SA only to visit surviving family, and takes many security precautions when he does. It's sad to see people driven out of their homeland by crime.
zalabeta lefty if you don't want to work don't work go back to socialism and enjoy handouts, don't worry jacinda will look after you Racism coming out much
What are you on about? I’m an ACT voter. Socialism has got nothing to do with his comment nor racism. He just recognised a national trait. South Africans are generally assertive (some perceive as arrogant) and it can rub us native born the wrong way. Its not some big or foundational criticism. Its just an observation. Geez so sensitive is that also a national trait of SA?
Yes i heard that....lol. In new zeal and australia Theres what they call tall poppy syndrome and south africans like being tall poppies😂 which explains the assertive nature bcs to become a tall poppy takes firmness to get stuff done and fast
@@jgribhamnz its not a national trait. its dutch descendants who identify As south Africans that have an attitude towards what they don't know. very intolerant
Almost every single white South African I've ever met were kind, gentle people. I still remember my geography teacher in high school was from South Africa and he was one of the best teachers I ever had. I got a good grade in that class because of him.
@@faithfull1743 Yes how your leaders as well as many black leaders from African states decades ago got their education and degrees in South Africa hey!
I'm Aussie when I leave my Country I leave to get away from the culture, people and the way of life. Its exciting taking up new languages, playing different sports and just taking in the ways of the locals, when I see Australians abroad I just don't want anything to do with them. When emigrating to another Country leave your old life in your old Country as living your old life in your new Country is a recipe for misery.
It's no different to Zimbabwean academics who moved to South Africa and ended up selling fruit in the streets because they couldn't find jobs. They've also become like Somalians and Ethiopians who own little shops downtown.They went from comfortable upper class lifestyles in South Africa to lower middle class living from paycheck to paycheck.
Shem I felt sorry for the lady who was so happy she got a job as a bus driver. It's very rare to see a white south African working as a bus driver in South Africa.
The irony of those women singing in Nguni languages when most don't deal with Africans in a real way in RSA is laughable. Sing Die Stem and get over it.
I thought i was the only one who noticed, the culture they take on is other people's culture but they don't want to deal with the people. Intresting indeed
I'm a 3rd generation white NZer and invariably find the Sth Africans that have moved here are a breath of fresh air ! They have a no nonsense way of looking at things , are grateful to be here , work hard and some humble themselves in occupations that they would never have done in Sth Africa . I wish them all a good future here in Aotearoa ....🐬
I know a south African elderly man who we worked in the same company in Auckland. He is a very decent gentleman but once I have said: 'Was that so bad in S.A?' His eyes were like fireballs and became furious.... I know he has no offence intention to me as a asian man. But I could learn his past was creepy or even horrible stories he has experienced when he was young and being a soldier. He lost everything in S.A. fled to this country to spend the rest of his life, may God bless this man.
J PROXIMA They think they are more important than others. What they don’t know is that they are immigrants as other people. I think Aussies bogans and Afrikaans are a match made in heaven. Both lazy and arrogant. Let’s see when they’ve few Fosters how much they like each other
Live here all you like, just dont bring your racist shit with you! There are lots of dark nationalities here especially the maori pple they are the custodians of our country ...
Marko Marko. Us older geezers remember that around 1970 when we were ready to have kids, the "experts" were telling us that it was "irresponsible" to have more than two children. If we had more than two children, we would use up all the available resources. So could this have been a strategic damping down of white birth rates, as a way of implementing the Kalergi Plan? So that the Turks, a temporarily secular, semi-westernized nation could re-infiltrate the eastern end of Europe, because Germany especially was running out of men due to WW II. Re-infiltrate just as the Ottomans did in the 1600's, except more stealthily. Europe, always the cheapskate, is now pumping a shitload of money (collected from working taxpayers) into the Muslim and African hordes. Unemployable, illiterate, useful only to disrupt civilization and create chaos, just like Kalergi planned. Your thoughts, please.
As someone with Afrikaaner connections, it is clear that refugee status IS NOT the answer. A mass exodus of white Africaaners IS NOT the solution. It is totally impractical & dangerous. The best solution is for an independent Western Cape - the Cape Republic. ANC admitted that if a referendum was held the people would support it. The future of South Africa is autonamy among ethnic & tribal lines, i.e. KwaZulu-Natalia, Lesotho, Swaziland, etc.
I've met heaps of South Africans here in Australia and for the most part have always got along fine with them. They do have a forward and almost abrupt communication style which differs from that of the average Aussie, Kiwi or American for that matter
As a Norwegian I understand what this means. Scandinavians, Dutch and Germans are more direct and matter of factly. There is less beating about the bush. I think it is also severely misunderstood by most anglo-saxons. They interpret it often as a form of rudeness or arrogance. I've listened to people of different origin complain about dutch behavior in the Netherlands, while they did not realize my culture was exactly the same. So I got an insight into how foreigners view the germanic behavior. I must say in general it is very misunderstood. People assume entirely different intentions by germanic people than what was actually their intention. It is a bit arrogant of anglo-saxons I think to assume that just because you are white, you must perceive the world the same way as them. Somehow they seem to have less issues with say Chinese, Japanese or Indians behaving entirely different.
That's called arrogance i have met some nice SAFs (white), they have come to Nz as they should to start a new life not ram their racist shit down our throats! Fuck No!!
@@sandraobrien8705 Yeah let's keep letting others into the country and housing all of them before our own right?? Keep parents who both work full time jobs living in their cars WITH THEIR CHILDREN right?...WHILE PEOPLE JUST FLY ON IN AND GET RENTALS WITH EASE right?..This is why you do not speak for all NewZealanders. It's easy to sit there with a roof over your head saying "yeah sure your welcome in our lovely country! 🙂🙂🙂 fly more people into the country its no problem!"..while people out here are 2nd priority to people who just got off a plane ffs. There's over 4000 people living in motels and its safe to say i speak for more NZ's than you and you fkn know it!
@@NZSUBZERO The truth is the housing market is out of control and rental market is dire, I think that is something immigrants are not always aware of. There are not enough houses to go round, a lot of homes on the market are single glazed, mouldy, poorly insulated and should have been pulled down 20 years ago, yet prices are through the roof. These days a lot of homes go under the hammer with auctions won by overseas buyers at astronomical inflated prices which do not reflect NZ wages or the condition of the properties. It is difficult to get on the property ladder, also as a new immigrant, if you cannot bring a hefty down payment with you. New homes are constantly being built but cannot keep up with demand. Something else immigrants are probably not told at embassy info evenings is what it is like to rent here. Typically you need to apply online with 2 references and of course they prefer NZ references. It can be hard to get a good place with a responsible landlord/property agent. They are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Expect to pay a lot for a modern build with double glazing and heatpump, in particular in Wgtn or Akl.Auckland prices are through the roof. Renting is tough, for the most part you cannot keep pets. You may get the home filthy with an overgrown, unkempt garden but have to leave it thoroughly cleaned, garden weeded and maintained.You have an inspection 4x year where the property agent photographs every room, the garage, exterior of the house. They want everything clean and tidy, lawns mowed, garden weeded eyc. It is very intrusive. You can find yourself without a home at short notice. The renter has little protection. The law entirely favours the landlord and many Kiwis have multiple houses as investments which they do not maintain or fix. Repairs are often not carried out. The law changed recently such that you are now permitted to hang up pictures but unlike other countries, you are not encouraged to think of a rental property as your home, there is next to no security that you can stay there longer term, there is little you can do to get a landlord to fix anything that needs repairs and the landlord can enter your rental anytime after giving 48 hours notice. I've lived in many countries and nowhere had such awful conditions for the renter. So it pays to keep all that in mind when weighing up a move.
@@sandraobrien8705 I agree with alot of what you said Sandra and I apologize for the language and how I came aross. It just pisses me off that there are so many hard working kiwi's out there that are pushed to the side (alot of slack bludgers in the mix aswell) The house next to me was up for rent and put in trademe 6months ago. An Indian couple got the rental over the 1700 people in hawkesbay camped up in motels. I get along with my new neighbors and they are good people but the fact of the matter is...it should be the other way around, that's all I'm saying 🤷🏻♂
I've gone to school and worked with a few South Africans. Both Afrikaans and English descent. They were all good folks, got along with the Maori and islanders just fine. One thing to note. They had all left South Africa because of the crime. The school age ones were amazed when they arrived that you could walk down the street by yourself in daylight or at all after dark, let alone by yourself after dark! You just didn't do that where they lived. Yes they did look sideways at our darker skinned people when they arrived, which I think is understandable, given their experiences. But they came around pretty soon. Rugby had a lot to do with that. Gave people a common interest in which to get to know each other.
Welcome to my country Aotearoa New Zealand from a Maori if you're hearts in the right place and love us we well love you back even more that is the way we Maori are take care bye
I've had the worst Afrikaner experiences here in SA .... you have no idea of their arrogance.... I can't believe they take it with them when they love this country...
@NXM twisted history you only saw Khoi sans in the Western side but Eastern side there was always people like Nguni's Ndebele's Zulu's Xhosa's Swati's Northern Side Sotho's Nguni's have a lil bit of Khoi words and you are 100% European nothing African about you.
If u are a Maori then those white South Africans think of as being just another blackie .If u are white Ihope that u are not as racists as white South Africans
@@sheriffmoola3456 Stop talking kak, and get over yourself. The Maoris are a strong nation, and we South Africans respect them. They also don't play the race card at every opportunity, and they take responsibility. You tend to generalise all white South Africans, and that is ignorance to the full extent. I take it you have personally met each and every white English/Afrikaans speaking South African?
What is it about many South Africans "Afrikaners in particular" always ending up being hated by people in their host countries? Seriously this extends from England to New Zealand to Argentina, and everytime i get complaints about South Africans it's almost always a racist Afrikaner starting shit. Now i'm not saying this extends to all South Africans, or all Afrikaners for that matter, i'm just speaking out based on experience and the constant complaints i'm usually bombarded with.
I hear you Dawood, and thank you for not generalizing. Among those that fled were certain, racist and arrogant types, and they hopefully will learn and change their thinking. I'm convinced most will, through immersion in a non-racial society - it's inevitable.
Here in Germany we have many of them, too. As a convinced and proud Southerner, they are some of the best conversation partners I can imagine, especially when politics is the topic!
@@mazibukomail Starving for unity and nation building. Guess it will never happen. The way I see it there is too much Black and White hatred and this will never go away for generations to come.
@apokalypse 2016 The biggest problem is that White South Africans, because of apartheid could possibly viewed internationally as a White Supremist race of the Ku Klax Klan ideologies. The Suidlanders is a White group in South Africa undergoing training in order to defend farm properties which is believed to be under attack by blacks in South Africa. It is not clear whether the attacks is criminal intent or politically motivated. Neo Nazi Alt Right White supremist Islamophobia movement is an international movement. The Suidlanders could possibly be seen connected to this movement by the European community. Therefore i agree with you that it is quite possible that the European world may not want to grant political asylum to White South Africans based on apartheid's White supremist ideologies and the possible link to the Neo Nazi Alt Right White supremist Islamophobia terrorists organization. What makes it worst for white South Africans is that Brenton Tarrent the shooter of the Christchurch massacre of Muslims is being investigated to a possible connection to the ALT Right movement. If there is a Suidlanders link to this organization, it is definitely not helping White South Africans internationally Ernst Roets of Afriforum is presently in USA lobbying for support to stop the expropriating of the farms and Simon Roche the leader of the Suidlanders is also there for. I leave that to your imagination.
no not at all. Race has nothing to do with anything, it is about culture. For example, A Russian will have a much harder time integrating to the UK than a black person from an English speaking African country that was once a colony because Russian culture is completely different than British culture even though they are the same race. You alt-righters are not the brightest
South Africans are such a great people, their enterprising spirit and Love of Liberty bring countless benefits to any Country they chose to live in and contribute to!
@@iskaykabeya609 Thats exactly what many blacks say about their own kind in government, want to see pics of them carrying the posters saying exactly that?
I have no idea why South Africans are moving to NZ! Why go to a place that does not need you nor want you there??!! I am South African and I'm committed to staying in my country and being part of the solution rather than part of the problem. I'm helping my African employees get their kids through school and college.....if I were to leave...who would help them? Certainly not our corrupt government! I am needed in this flawed country I call home!
If I got burgled three times in a row and got part of my family murdered, I wouldn't have stayed one second in whatever was my home country. I'd get the hell out of there. I understand them. Living with that kind of heavy security and worry all the time, is no way to live. Also I can't see any political solution to what South Africa is facing today. When wealth is as strongly divided by ethnicity it is very hard to avoid populist politics ruling the day in any country. That will lead to bad government. South Africa is not alone in this. You see the same in South America where they jump from one populist government to another, never getting society on the right track. I am sure things will work out in the end. I just don't think it will happen in a generation, which is what will matter for most people.
I have never been to South Africa or New Zealand but I do like learning about different countries and different cultures very cool unfortunately I guess immigration is tough no matter where you go
It is true what the person said, that it is difficult to get jobs. This is why a lot of Kiwis have left the country. It is also true that many South Africans don't fit with Australian society too. This is why a lot of South Africans are returning to their home country.
Have no problem with sth Africans migrating to my country.. both love rugby, have nice looking woman lol (we need some trust me )👌🏽 as long as you integrate and not try build your own SA here
Lol that's exactly what they plan on doing. SA flags, SA branded shops and they want to only live amongst themselves. This sounds way toooo familiar! Luckily the ones on this video clip aren't branding their shops with old apartheid flags.
But they don't integrate they think for some disillusioned reason they are superior and form there own Saffa Colonys in Brown's Bay etc. It's so obvious they just want to bail from the nightmare they created in their own shit hole of a country. I'm not buying it one bit.
All Dutch/Afrikaans are good people. they are nice people and hearty farmer attitudes i like them very much. Very Understanding of our Culture in New Zealand. they're very respectful my door is always open to them. and im Maori hard.

They stole land from people they killed on an unbelievable scale , colonised their country for almost 200 years , and you expect people to say thank you ? You live in cuckooland, I think you need your stupid brain examined. Do you know of the horrors committed by whites in Zimbabwe and South Africa ?
Its extremely sad that this is happening. It should've never happened. These people should be able to live in their own countries. Free from harm and pain. Overtime, the south African culture will diminish and therefore blend in with the new culture.
I really doubt that. Majority of South Africans still reside in South Africa and take the upkeep of their culture very seriously. We just need to figure out how to keep our diversity alive whilst still integrating.
They have the right to preserve their culture. I’ve polish American friends that are more than 5 generations there but they always celebrate their heritage.
Nz prides on Maori heritage...south Africans should know the local culture before thinking of imposing their preconceived notions. They should be grateful to be well received
vukken99 According to Goosen, research at RRL was focused on developing a “bacterial agent that would selectively kill black people.” Goosen stated that the project and the program had been described by South Africa’s then Surgeon General, Dr. Neil Knoble, as “the most important project for the country.” Goosen himself had plenty of faith in the ability to create this type of weapon. In fact, he even claimed that an unknown European scientist had already developed a strain of bacteria capable of “only affecting, making sick, and killing pigmented people” as far back as the early 1980s. “Under oath, Goosen went on to state that the government could have used such a weapon as a ‘negotiation back-up’ (to stay in power) and to ‘maintain peace’ (between local whites and blacks),” writes Singh.
Us South Africans are bit arrogant, but it's because we're big fish in a small pond, but it's innocuous mostly. We're also very independent and entrepreneurial.

I've commented on here before about South Africans. I've known alot growing up in NZ. They are good people... hard workers. I've nothing but good things to say about them but one thing... they're really racist towards each other. When I was with white SAs all they'd do was go on about Black SAs. And when I was with Black SAs all theyd do was go on about White SAs. They have bad blood between them. All I ask is they don't bring that hatred here.
The racism tends to be context sensitive. You'll notice that black south africans have no issue with white new zealanders. And white south africans have nothing bad to say about maori or islanders. During the 1995 world cup in South Africa, there was nothing but respect and awe for Lomu, for instance. As far as I can tell, decades of very bad political arrangements have artificially created enmity between the different groups in South Africa. Politicians, old and new, thrive on a divide and conquer strategy.

As a expatriate South African of thirty odd years my advice to all immigrants is to start life all over again in a small town and grow with the town, my wife arrived here two years ahead of me and was adopted by the small town folk who made it easy for us to adapt after coming from a big city, good luck and Welkom.
All of the South Africans and Zimbabweans that I have come across in New Zealand, both black and white, have come with much needed skills. We welcome you, and your work and study ethic here. You add value to our economy and I have yet to meet one who bludges off social welfare. It has been great to see so many of you leave behind, and shake off the worst of the racist baggage that your new SA government seems intent on imprinting on all of it's citizens.

I have been to South Africa many times and I have found the people very friendly, even when I rag them about the All Blacks. They are a very staunch, proud people with a long history and now many feel displaced since the fall of apartheid. They're still trying to find their place in the world and it hasn't been easy for them. Patience on both sides is called for...patience and understanding.

In my N.Z. workplace some White Sth Africans considered Maori racially inferior. Many were ex-cops and wouldn't cut the mustard as cops in N.Z. and were accustomed to being Inspectors in S.A. but were merely on the bottom rung in N.Z. They often arrogant pricks who were keen on assaulting other staff and "clients," and sparks would fly if a more senior Maori officer would give orders to an ex-cop Jaape.

Wooly Zizi when you have personally experienced the horrors of lived in South Africa, you will have the right to make comments like this. The white people who did well there were those that studied, understood business, worked hard to make a decent income and invested wisely. Since the takeover of South Africa by black leaders, the country has fallen because the Communist driven, extremely corrupt ANC government have plundered everything they can. South Africa Airways has gone into liquidation while it's managers paid themselves millions! Municipalities have gone bankrupt. Hospitals are in serious financial difficulties. ESKOM (Electricity supply) is bankrupted. The list is endless. The government racist BEE (black economic empowerment) has all but blocked whites from getting jobs. As a result, the standards of life has plummeted. Crime of all kinds is completely out of control, the police are constantly being caught for corruption and in some parts of the country unemployment is as high as 90%. Farmers are being murdered daily and corrupt president Ramaphosa says its not happening. Apartheid ended many years ago and the 'majority' now run the show. They have had ample time and opportunity to build the country into a successful nation but they have failed dismally. The results speak for themselves. You go live there for a year and you will see for yourself that what is happening there has nothing to do with apartheid or white rule but everything to do with ignorance, low productivity and creeping Communism. Then you can comment in all honesty. And if you are an ex-South African living in NZ, I'd ask why did you not stay there?

What is clearly not represented in this video is weather or not New Zealanders actually want South Africans in this country? There seems to be stiff resistance.
"they tend to cluster together" :-) yup there is some truth to that. But part of it is that any immigrant to a new home settles where they land, and newcomers are uncertain of what to expect so seek out ex-Saffers, and that becomes habitual. (We consciously sought to settle where we were not in a Saffer community, but chose wisely and many followed us instead.)
So few folk have been shot at outside of ZA, so we are commonly a little traumatised and find solace in mutual understanding. I am so 'bleery' happy that I have not had anyone shoot at me in the last 13 years. Auckland is home, it is truly where my heart is.

They have a no nonsense way of looking at things , are grateful to be here , work hard and some humble themselves in occupations that they would never have done in Sth Africa . I wish them all a good future here

I know a south African elderly man who we worked in the same company in Auckland. He is a very decent gentleman but once I have said: 'Was that so bad in S.A?' His eyes were like fireballs and became furious.... I know he has no offence intention to me as a asian man. But I could learn his past was creepy or even horrible stories he has experienced when he was young and being a soldier. He lost everything in S.A. fled to this country to spend the rest of his life, may God bless this man.

So could this have been a strategic damping down of white birth rates, as a way of implementing the Kalergi Plan?
So that the Turks, a temporarily secular, semi-westernized nation could re-infiltrate the eastern end of Europe, because Germany especially was running out of men due to WW II.
Re-infiltrate just as the Ottomans did in the 1600's, except more stealthily.
Europe, always the cheapskate, is now pumping a shitload of money (collected from working taxpayers) into the Muslim and African hordes. Unemployable, illiterate, useful only to disrupt civilization and create chaos, just like Kalergi planned.
Your thoughts, please.
As someone with Afrikaaner connections, it is clear that refugee status IS NOT the answer. A mass exodus of white Africaaners IS NOT the solution.
It is totally impractical & dangerous. The best solution is for an independent Western Cape - the Cape Republic. ANC admitted that if a referendum was held the people would support it. The future of South Africa is autonamy among ethnic & tribal lines, i.e. KwaZulu-Natalia, Lesotho, Swaziland, etc.
I've met heaps of South Africans here in Australia and for the most part have always got along fine with them. They do have a forward and almost abrupt communication style which differs from that of the average Aussie, Kiwi or American for that matter
That is a typical Dutch influence...often perceived as arrogance, mostly unjust IMO.
As a Norwegian I understand what this means. Scandinavians, Dutch and Germans are more direct and matter of factly. There is less beating about the bush. I think it is also severely misunderstood by most anglo-saxons. They interpret it often as a form of rudeness or arrogance.
I've listened to people of different origin complain about dutch behavior in the Netherlands, while they did not realize my culture was exactly the same. So I got an insight into how foreigners view the germanic behavior. I must say in general it is very misunderstood. People assume entirely different intentions by germanic people than what was actually their intention.
It is a bit arrogant of anglo-saxons I think to assume that just because you are white, you must perceive the world the same way as them. Somehow they seem to have less issues with say Chinese, Japanese or Indians behaving entirely different.
That's called arrogance i have met some nice SAFs (white), they have come to Nz as they should to start a new life not ram their racist shit down our throats! Fuck No!!

@@NZSUBZERO The truth is the housing market is out of control and rental market is dire, I think that is something immigrants are not always aware of. There are not enough houses to go round, a lot of homes on the market are single glazed, mouldy, poorly insulated and should have been pulled down 20 years ago, yet prices are through the roof. These days a lot of homes go under the hammer with auctions won by overseas buyers at astronomical inflated prices which do not reflect NZ wages or the condition of the properties. It is difficult to get on the property ladder, also as a new immigrant, if you cannot bring a hefty down payment with you. New homes are constantly being built but cannot keep up with demand. Something else immigrants are probably not told at embassy info evenings is what it is like to rent here. Typically you need to apply online with 2 references and of course they prefer NZ references. It can be hard to get a good place with a responsible landlord/property agent. They are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Expect to pay a lot for a modern build with double glazing and heatpump, in particular in Wgtn or Akl.Auckland prices are through the roof. Renting is tough, for the most part you cannot keep pets. You may get the home filthy with an overgrown, unkempt garden but have to leave it thoroughly cleaned, garden weeded and maintained.You have an inspection 4x year where the property agent photographs every room, the garage, exterior of the house. They want everything clean and tidy, lawns mowed, garden weeded eyc. It is very intrusive. You can find yourself without a home at short notice. The renter has little protection. The law entirely favours the landlord and many Kiwis have multiple houses as investments which they do not maintain or fix. Repairs are often not carried out. The law changed recently such that you are now permitted to hang up pictures but unlike other countries, you are not encouraged to think of a rental property as your home, there is next to no security that you can stay there longer term, there is little you can do to get a landlord to fix anything that needs repairs and the landlord can enter your rental anytime after giving 48 hours notice. I've lived in many countries and nowhere had such awful conditions for the renter. So it pays to keep all that in mind when weighing up a move.
@@sandraobrien8705 I agree with alot of what you said Sandra and I apologize for the language and how I came aross. It just pisses me off that there are so many hard working kiwi's out there that are pushed to the side (alot of slack bludgers in the mix aswell) The house next to me was up for rent and put in trademe 6months ago. An Indian couple got the rental over the 1700 people in hawkesbay camped up in motels. I get along with my new neighbors and they are good people but the fact of the matter is...it should be the other way around, that's all I'm saying 🤷🏻♂
I've gone to school and worked with a few South Africans. Both Afrikaans and English descent. They were all good folks, got along with the Maori and islanders just fine.
One thing to note. They had all left South Africa because of the crime.
The school age ones were amazed when they arrived that you could walk down the street by yourself in daylight or at all after dark, let alone by yourself after dark!
You just didn't do that where they lived.
Yes they did look sideways at our darker skinned people when they arrived, which I think is understandable, given their experiences.
But they came around pretty soon. Rugby had a lot to do with that. Gave people a common interest in which to get to know each other.
I wish more people were like you and the people you talk of in this world. It would be a much happier place.

@apokalypse 2016 The biggest problem is that White South Africans, because of apartheid could possibly viewed internationally as a White Supremist race of the Ku Klax Klan ideologies.
The Suidlanders is a White group in South Africa undergoing training in order to defend farm properties which is believed to be under attack by blacks in South Africa. It is not clear whether the attacks is criminal intent or politically motivated.
Neo Nazi Alt Right White supremist Islamophobia movement is an international movement.
The Suidlanders could possibly be seen connected to this movement by the European community.
Therefore i agree with you that it is quite possible that the European world may not want to grant political asylum to White South Africans based on apartheid's White supremist ideologies and the possible link to the Neo Nazi Alt Right White supremist Islamophobia terrorists organization.
What makes it worst for white South Africans is that Brenton Tarrent the shooter of the Christchurch massacre of Muslims is being investigated to a possible connection to the ALT Right movement.
If there is a Suidlanders link to this organization, it is definitely not helping White South Africans internationally
Ernst Roets of Afriforum is presently in USA lobbying for support to stop the expropriating of the farms and Simon Roche the leader of the Suidlanders is also there for. I leave that to your imagination.
@Zz Z but black people are currently doing all the work as farm workers. What are you on about?
These are good immigrants. Great to see White South Africans doing good
Their culture from the get go is much closer to NZ culture than black/arab/indian culture.

migrants should be a net benefit to the country they are migrating to not a cost
no not at all. Race has nothing to do with anything, it is about culture. For example, A Russian will have a much harder time integrating to the UK than a black person from an English speaking African country that was once a colony because Russian culture is completely different than British culture even though they are the same race. You alt-righters are not the brightest

If I got burgled three times in a row and got part of my family murdered, I wouldn't have stayed one second in whatever was my home country. I'd get the hell out of there. I understand them. Living with that kind of heavy security and worry all the time, is no way to live.
Also I can't see any political solution to what South Africa is facing today. When wealth is as strongly divided by ethnicity it is very hard to avoid populist politics ruling the day in any country. That will lead to bad government. South Africa is not alone in this. You see the same in South America where they jump from one populist government to another, never getting society on the right track.
I am sure things will work out in the end. I just don't think it will happen in a generation, which is what will matter for most people.

vukken99 According to Goosen, research at RRL was focused on developing a “bacterial agent that would selectively kill black people.” Goosen stated that the project and the program had been described by South Africa’s then Surgeon General, Dr. Neil Knoble, as “the most important project for the country.”
Goosen himself had plenty of faith in the ability to create this type of weapon. In fact, he even claimed that an unknown European scientist had already developed a strain of bacteria capable of “only affecting, making sick, and killing pigmented people” as far back as the early 1980s.
“Under oath, Goosen went on to state that the government could have used such a weapon as a ‘negotiation back-up’ (to stay in power) and to ‘maintain peace’ (between local whites and blacks),” writes Singh.

I've commented on here before about South Africans. I've known alot growing up in NZ. They are good people... hard workers. I've nothing but good things to say about them but one thing... they're really racist towards each other. When I was with white SAs all they'd do was go on about Black SAs. And when I was with Black SAs all theyd do was go on about White SAs. They have bad blood between them. All I ask is they don't bring that hatred here.
The racism tends to be context sensitive. You'll notice that black south africans have no issue with white new zealanders. And white south africans have nothing bad to say about maori or islanders. During the 1995 world cup in South Africa, there was nothing but respect and awe for Lomu, for instance.
As far as I can tell, decades of very bad political arrangements have artificially created enmity between the different groups in South Africa. Politicians, old and new, thrive on a divide and conquer strategy.

3:55 its tough to show empathy now knowing fully well that when they had power they showed none. I pray that the mercy they showed the natives be shown back to them
EXACTLY!!!! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!!
@@caligirl3000 Remember your words, Karma has a funny way of biting you in the arse.
Look at South Africa now. Blacks running the show for 28 years and things are only getting worse. SA is a shithole being run into the ground. Its difficult to not call your opinion stupid, when a black co worker of mine from SA told me he had it better during apartheid compared to now.
@@jaco7826 i'm sure your coworker experienced every aspect of apartheid, and is an expert on human relations. So whatever he says must be right. 👍🏾!
@@jaco7826 im sure the life quality was better, but he definitely didnt enjoy being a 2nd class citizen, nobody does.
Yaaaaaaaaaas I am moving to NZ from SA within the next 6 months!!
How did it go? :)
Are you still alive mate lol
@@Microbex probably lying. No south afircan will say YASSS that is more of an African American thing.
Annique?
And then?
I'm a kiwi live abroad was horrified at the sheer number of South Africans in NZ when visiting home, north shore lost for words , South Africans cluster and large dominating groups don't really assimilate well, they complain a lot about nz. Freeze out kiwis . Not very independent South Africans.
I feel your pain man. NZ has become a popular destination here in SA, I'm afraid a lot more are coming.
Yes I smell a big rat . Wait for it,
Hopefully they don’t come to New Zealand with their apartheid, racist ideologies from South Africa. I hope they treat the brown natives kindly and they integrate into the society properly
