- Join in as we travel across South Africa to explore developments in the rural areas. We showcase village lifestyle in rural South Africa, developments taking place , beautiful homes as well as farming and business opportunities. This video showcases Phokeng a rural village situated in the rich Platinum mines of Rustenburg which has developed drastically, attracting tourism, increasing employment and business opportunities for the community.
Sis Vilile happy you are in My home province 😍😍💯..
Phokeng mines are owned by the Phokeng Nation the King of Phokeng did justice to his people i applaud him..🔥
Most people are subdividing , the water boreholes came in as municipalities have issue with water supply i think it was Magalies water if i am correct so since 2012 villagers around decided to bore water..
Our livestocks are in Merakeng (farms) and we farm mostly in masimong (crop farms) each family will have their own masimo or meraka..
Aaaaah thank you for the enlightenment. I was wondering about farming. You are all blessed with such a beautiful village and your king really did justice for his people. I loved it so much there. 🙏🏾❤️.
@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV most villages are like that including Bakgatla villages the livestocks and crop farming happens ko masimong and merakeng ..
Is it possible for someone who isn’t from your tribe to get land in your area snd settle there ..
I am surprised u did not see live stock .Thrre is a lot even next to the stadium .Yes mainly it’s done ko merakeng / farms but there is still a lot mo motseng, cows goats sheep chickens
True I Eish she passed a Lebone and show case the private school also tribal offices/civic center ,houses at Rafreti. Ext
Sis please invest in a drone, it will be nice to see these beautiful villages in a different aerial positioning. 💚
I’ve only recently discovered your channel, love the South African positive vibes...you are so niched in your content type, everyone on continent is seemingly doing urban development and you’re showcasing rural development& rural travel...so unique& I love it❤️
Thank you so much. I appreciate your positive comment. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
I love what you saying about preserving our villages and protecting their dignity as the cities have been taken over
I like the way you emphasize the importance of developing rural areas with an emphasis of agriculture, especially sustainable agriculture, encouraging people to make handicrafts,and artifacts using their hands to create wealth,kudos to you.😅
Let's have a rural home of the year award 😎
😂😂 not a bad idea at all. Too many beautiful homes out there. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
I like the fact that the yards are well planned and makes it looks like an upcoming surburbia.
I love it too. Very impressive. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏾❤️
Yoo phokeng is beautiful bathong ❤❤❤
It is very beautiful. 🙏🏾❤️
Doesn’t look like a village at all , Amazing . People should stop over crowding themselves in places like Alexandra and Diepsloot , this is just beautiful
Jobs and have no other option.No one would choose to stay in a squatter camp.Hope their lives change.
most people in those places are illegal migrants fueled by racist capitalists companies
So True Velile we need to protect the serenity and tranquility of our villages it is the only thing we have
Thank you and it’s true. We have to protect our villages from becoming slums like the cities. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
Beautiful village, very developed. Impressive. It shows that u don't need to be in the city to live life to the fullest.
Definitely. 🙏🏾❤️
North West Province...this ones own commercial mines and are into farming👌🏾
North West Province is a perfect example of what could happen if we own our Mines⭐
Wow interesting. Didn't know. Are these black people?
@@cebisilemabaso8445 very black ..Dominated by Batswana Nation
@@cebisilemabaso8445 Yes they are black specifically Tswana(Bafokeng) They own Royal Bafokeng Holdings (Pty) Limited (RBH) operates as a holding company. The Company, through its subsidiaries, invests in infrastructure, mining(Platinum), telecom, financial service and real estate sectors. They are the Richest tribe in Africa
I really loved what I saw and yes, I learned a lot about the Province. Phokeng alone is proof that black people know what they want in life and they will attain it regardless. Thank you for your comment. 🙏🏾❤️
I would also love Velile to explore the life in Lerome South; Rustenburg too ♥️ it is a beautiful black suburb
North West is dry, but clever tswanas can be able to survive on it beautifully
Portchefstroom and hartebees have the most water in terms of rainfall and excess if you considering to invest in North west
This channel is the ONE, not the 2 or the 3! 🙏🏾💕
Aaaah thank you so much. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
Progress, Progress, Progress . Thank you for sharing our village life. You are really exposing us, Sisebenza sithulile ;)
Thank you for watching. Great work you all have done. Allow me to show the world of the beautiful work you have done. Some of us are proud to see such black excellence. Kwande. 🙏🏾❤️
The roads are on point
Rustenburg is home. Got excited when I saw this video. Sis V, you need to come to Nhlazatshe in Mpumalanga. There are BEAUTIFUL houses here also.
Thanks V, u a killing us softly with all the showcasing of beautiful land and houses, as well as the tenacity and capabilities of black peoples that against all odds but they strive and push to live decent and happy lives. May God bless you, we need people like u Cc, who encourage and inspire us to keep faith and stay positive.
Onwards and upwards we go. Even more better when we do it together. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
The landscape is beautiful
I love South Africa ❤
you make me miss home Sis Velile
This is Nchadi Ntsimane now based in Cape Town originally from Rustenburg
Hey Velile, am binge watching on my favourite channel today. My guilty pleasure 🙈
Phokeng is a head quarters of the bafokeng village, under the Royal Bafokeng Tirbe there's about more than 30 viallges and they're improved villages,you can only get a plot once you're married and if you're from around the Royal Bafokeng nation,outsiders aren't favored, especially when it comes to jobs and land
Thank you for your input and for watching. 🙏🏾❤️
Velile that's awesome. You're rocking girl. Keep it up. You young women of this era you are amazing. Thumbs up to all of you!!!
Aaaah thank you. I really appreciate the words of encouragement. Love and blessings. 🙏🏾❤️
stunning ....let our rurals rival those surbubs
Never disappointing
🙏🏾❤️
Phokeng is a good place we always travel from town to buy from Phokeng Mall
Lucky's Pub! They serve the best wings! 👌🏾😋
Now I regret why I didn’t go in and try the food. Next time I will try the wings. Thank you for watching. I loved your village. It’s beautiful. 🙏🏾❤️
This is a very beautiful village, I'm looking to get a place to buy and build. Anyone who can help me with contacts that can be much appreciated. Bakgaetsu!!
@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV I also thought to myself why doesnt she go in and show these nice places.Nextime sis go a day before ask for permission I dont think they will say no.
@@relaxwithluhh7075There is a place in Pretoria called Kgabalatsane they are selling nice plots it is still developing you must be open minded because most of these developing places some dont have electricity yet but they build mansions like the ones you just saw and buy Solar pannels and have boles their lives are free no stress.
@@devinejevinge3808 Thank dear, any contacts?
Great video beautiful homes
Thank you sis, what you are doing is inspiring. ❤💖
Firstly great channel with unique content. I agree, the opportunity cost of malls in rural areas is against locals
OK if you ever go to Limpopo in the eastern side, pls visit a village called GA Ntamatise, the village is 👌
Thank you Lethabo for a suggestion. Noted and I will definitely report back. Love and light. 🙏🏾❤️
Wow I am Tswana from Pretoria but currently in Europe and I’ve been planning on moving back home but I was looking at settling in Mpumalanga Village but this video has helped me to reconsider moving to the Batswana village. It looks like it might be safe there and my family an I will find it easy to settle well and farm.
You are right that they could utilise their compound/land for horticulture and floriculture. It’s a shame that that they are not utilising their land.
Thank you for watching. Wishing you the best. One day I will cross borders to explore developments in villages in the whole SADAC region and the rest of the continent. I hope you will be back, settled and enjoying farming in Botswana. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
@Velile Lifestyle & Decor TV I love the uniqueness of your content. Your niche definitely allows your channel to reach greater heights. You will definitely blow up for broader audiences especially when you take it further in exploring other villages in neighbouring countries. ❤️
You have gained yourself a subscriber 💫
@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV Not in Botswana, sis. He/she is South African
Its much safer when you are living with batswana come home
@@soccerchannel9930 Ke a leboga 🙏🏾,i will definitely make the move back home.
Second😍
Hi I wanted to find out if you know the villages in Limpopo area that I can buy land like the one u showed us in ur Kzn plots
Looks like some parts parts of how it was here in Mississippi, USA
Beautiful. Trees. Grass.love the place.
My favourite channel.
🙏🏾❤️
I am from phokeng and I would say that Phokeng is way to developed to be a villiage because it is very urban
Please read about your village.
I'd like to get a plot in your village. How possible is that for a none Tswana person?
@@simphiwer8970 very difficult even if you are Motswana from a different tribe.. thou possible
Wow beautiful village,very developed 😘
Very developed and beautiful indeed. 🙏🏾❤️
They do have running water but it's safe to have boreholes because water is a problem and the water is still salty not so tasty
Hi V... please tour Lerome South next time in Moruleng
Yes lerome south deserve a tour also❤❤
😍😍New here, I'm loving your content already sis. I'm from Rustenburg by the way 😛❤️❤️
Beautiful village
Inspiring
🙏🏾❤️
Thank u so much for coming to our village 🤗
Thank you Sista....appreciate your work.
The houses don’t look rural at all...love to see progress in rural towns. Agree water & sanitation infrastructure in rural towns is still a pressing issue
This is poverty allround.
@@patrickmakhwanya1196 you talking rubbish.
Not in Phokeng my dear.
Very impressive village sis Velile.
🙏🏾❤️
Breathtaking, abundantly beautiful. I'm pleasantly surprised & equally happy for the folks in those areas. Well-done folks.
People are doing great. We need to add value. Those who want to sell must be able to do so. Banks must finance, government must issue tittle deeds.
Wrong.If we issue title deeds and invite banks,the white man will take over.It must never be like that.They can only attach movable goods in Nkandla but not the buildings,as an example.That's the biggest advantage of tribal land.
Loving your channel sisi , Thanks.
i really love your work !!!
Thanks so much for showing us rural S. A. This village is amazing. Please share more about ways the city folks can invest and move to the rural areas, especially now that we can work from home and there is internet in rural areas. We can easily start spending the money we make in the cities in the rural areas.
Thank you for watching. I will definitely do that. 🙏🏾❤️
Smart lady.
🙏🏾❤️
Owesome! Awesomeness!
Am new to the channel. And so far I like what you are doing my sister. 👒👒
North West is amazing
👏👏👏👏👏
🙏🏾❤️
Lovely. I just have to subscribe.
Beautiful channel Velilie, the tanks store water from boreholes & councils but can be fitted to run into houses & sprinklers/ drip irrigation in gardens. You'd never know the difference! I see urban SA getting there soon at the rate of water cuts at moment....Check that skyline sis!
It is definitely the best system so far. I first had a borehole system in my village home and than government put a reservoir in my village. I than decided to pull water from the pipes running not too far from my house and it helps. It costly though. I regret it sometimes because when there is no water in that reservoir, I rely on rain water or suffer. Thank you for watching and for your insight. 🙏🏾❤️
We do need malls, we can't travel to the big towns for everything. We just need mall's that give us access to groceries, clothes and banking. Imagine having to travel 100km just to bank, or buy the kids kfc. It doesn't mean we have to conform to the notion that because we are rural we must be tourism hubs as well. Rustenburg has its tourism centers and villages which cater to those. Most people work and therefore we do not need to keep livestock, there are farms outside the village and areas where we keep livestock etc
It’s good to know how other people think. Thank you for your comment. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
Phokeng is very beautiful. 👏👏 I think if people planted their own vegetables in their yards it would be good as well and it would promote a healthier lifestyle as well as teaching the younger ones about providing food for themselves and saving money for other needs that can only be acquired using money.
Phokeng has a mall and lot others around
I'm from another village in the area and I agree fully with you in the shopping malls issue. On the livestock matter, traditionally we keep our livestock a bit of a distance from the village, in places we call Meraka where they are looked after by herdsmen.
I love how your villages are structured and maintained. Well done to all of you. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
😏 Home sweet home
Jeep should be sponsoring you, as well as a cellphone/or camera company, You're doing something bigger than yourself, please keep on keeping on.
I'm a new subscriber. Love the channel Inspiration on how and where to invest
Lerome in moruleng
There are many people in phokeng who have farms but are located just outside phokeng like when u are going to the mines
Thank you for letting us know. Someone also has already explained where farming takes place. 🙏🏾❤️
Have you explored the rural villages of Venda yet?
Yes, she did. Beautiful and breathtaking
This isn't a rural area, it's more like a developing township, yes the plots are big but in most cases they aren't used in a typical rural style of farming and ploughing crops. Most of them are used for building huge houses. This comment in informative, please don't attack me
😄😄 no one is here to attack but we here are here to inform and educate. This is a rural area in a South Africa and phokeng is a village governed by tribal law. I see where you coming from with your views but it’s a fact under SA customary law, it is a village that has improved drastically. Let’s give props to the people of Royal Bafokeng community. Also remember that SA villages develop differently due to where they are located and what is available at their disposal to enable drastic development. Phokeng is rich in Platinum mining and most mines are owned by the people of this village. That alone translates into the type of development we see. Watch my previous video before this one and se how much developed Umgababa in Durban due to the areas attraction to tourism since it’s located in the tropical part of SA. Thank you for watching. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV Ngiyabonga Ntokazi, my comment was based on the type of rural area I come from which is Utrect where houses are scattered apart and there's more farming. I understand places aren't the same but this type of a setup I mostly see in townships. Ngiyabonga kodwa ngolwazi nami ngisafunda
It is a rural area, motse. I'm glad to see the NW being featured. Not far from here is Lekgalong. Check it out
Let us comment, hit the like button ,share and prescribe to this great channel
What I know Tswana people are closed you can't own a piece of land in Tswana land unlike KZN. Mostly it's tribal lineage which allows to own land which I love. KZN rural village supposed to be owned by Zulus only.
Yes its for our generation to come .. not easy to get a stand but possible..
Soon these villages will turn into towns if government takes services like home affairs offices, post offices, clinics and hospitals as well as schools to these areas. Businesses will also move there to create jobs for locals. We will end up with towns all around no more villages.
A good question on what are the benefits of rural infrastructure development. I guess we may safely say that because Rural areas in South Africa are protected through customary law, we are unlikely to have them turning into what our townships in cities look like. Tribal land is governed by Chiefs and society have a lot to say on how and what can be done. We hope that remains. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏾❤️
I think Phokeng has all that..
This is good sisi...where're the fields..how do the villagers earn their living...it could be interesting to know..thanks a ton
It's a mining village
Hi sis, please invite a youtuber by the name Wode Maya from Ghana. He really needs to see black excellence in South Africa and that South Africans do own land, please please invite him.
Alot of people here don't have their own crops because they can just go and buy food at Phokeng mall or nearby Spaza/small shops. That's how my family in Luka (Village near Phokeng) do it.
Sis Velile villages historical were known to be self-reliant, so I don’t understand why electricity-grid dependency (like in the city)should be applauded as development. Maybe we should encourage off-grid development through solar-power just like how people have boreholes for water.The other emphasis should be on encouraging of trees planting & where the are already natural trees let us avoid deforestations. That would talk to address issues of climate-change (which is not yet Third World priority)but caused by modernisation masquerading as development.
Please visit Lerome South in Moses Kotane municipality. Great content, thanks
Mogaetsho i asked her to visit Lerome south .. its less than 5km from pilanes berg and see how the youngster have done there.. and the village its not even upto 2decades ..
By the way im from Mositoane section😍
Noted and thank you for suggestion. Peace and love. 🙏🏾❤️
Yes please come to Lerome South
@@kegokent4925 will do. 🙏🏾❤️
Hawu shem Velile this is amazing work oyenzayo. You are one of the great pioneers who are changing the narrative about mother Africa. I can now speak proudly and refer ignorant european sceptics about the lovely and organisational beauty of village life. Great stuff sisi siyabonga kakhulu.
Come to moruleng you will be impressed
I have been there. Check my videos. 🙏🏾❤️
Livestock is general operated in camps because of draughts.
Thank you Lehlogonolo. Much appreciated. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Livestock is mostly situated in Luka
This is a very beautiful village, I'm looking to get a place to buy and build. Anyone who can help me with contacts that can be much appreciated. Bakgaetsu!!
What Phokeng is better than most Joburg surburbs lol how can it be called a village siyabonga cc good content
HOME :D PH where am from, the Capital region of the Royal Bafokeng Nation
how far is this place from rustenburg town?
Is rural areas in Rustenburg safe .
How much money
hello so where is the chief ??
This place qlacks pavement, grass outside and inside yards to look like surburbs
How far is this village from the public hospital ?
Not far, you pay about R17 when you take a taxi
Go to venda
Any contact details on contractors? Please
i am not impressed with Phokeng. itz only 15km away from Rustenburg and there is too many economic activities around there. it should be looking way better than the current situation, but i blame it on corruption. you should try rural villages of Limpopo whr u have to travel 40-50km to town and you will think its surbabs.
nice content though
I have done one village Zebediela in polokwane, Limpopo check that video on my channel. I am looking forward to visiting more villages in the Province. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏾❤️
@Jonh Mojapelo, Villages are not defined by their proximity to Towns/Cities. Phokeng is a village on the outskirts of a City just like Nobody village which is 18km out of Polokwane, Blood River, GA Maja, Moletji etc. You just want your definition of a village to fit your narrative that Limpopo is the only developed rural province, which is not true. You will find a similar setup even in Mahikeng where villages such as Montshiwa, Ramosadi, Makhubung etc are situated on the outskirts of the City.
@@dikabelodk2472 please read my comment again my darling with understanding this time around. no anywhere in my statement did I say Phokeng is not a rural village
You cant compare NW with Limpopo please. Limpopo is boring 😴 😒 😴. Our Bophuthatswana homeland was far better than your limpopo, we have mines and very close to Jozi..
Please people, stop with the "Black Privilege" very nice place 😆
The under privileged who survived it all and rose above oppression to live like humans on this earth. Bayede Black excellence. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 😂
Phokeng is not a rural area
Why are you saying that and from what basis it is not?.
@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV because there's no rural area around Rustenburg, only outside
You should got to places outside Rusten like Tlhatlhaganyane, Tlokweng,I can name them, those are rural areas, we have everything within us to be rural.
People from outside who get to Phokeng actually think it's a location because of how developed it is,like I said we have more than 30 villages under the Royal Bafokeng Nation and Phokeng is the headquarters where there are employees and a civic center, some of these villages I can agree with you that they are rural areas, if you had gone past phokeng just after the mall you'd see another village called Luka, way more developed too because there more mines there you wouldn't think it's a rural are,we even have our own Bafokeng Police force called "Reaction Force"
Oh and the reason why you saw no farming there is not because it's not allowed but it has become a norm that if one wants to have livestock or do farming you can be offered a land around the Bafokeng nation but outside the residential area, small gardens are there in people's yards but not so much for serious farming that can feed the village,
@@Bazos_MP please do your research about what makes an area a rural l area in South Africa. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏾❤️
@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV he just said it himself, saying there is also Luka and you wouldn't think it's a rural area. He should have just added infor without saying it's not a rural
Phokeng is a rural area but from what I know they have been rich even during apartheid that is why their so advanced.
