I'm just saying it was unfair. My grandmother deserved a better experience growing up.
I can tell you are a good man im white and you know when i watch these videos i usually just see people of Color saying it was so bad and it is the whites fault and all that and usually i get angry because apartheid is over and the people say these things was not even effected by apartheid it was there grannys and so forth and i know apartheid was wrong i even hate the word apartheid my best friend is black and i love him hes like a brother to me i just wish all of these talks of apartheid and all the hate toward white people stops because it was not us who dit it and it also was not you who was effected by it it was our parents and grandparents But anyways i really hope i did note offend anyone i love everyone im my opinion colour of skin does not matter everyone should be treated the same❤️

Not once have I heard the name of Jan van Riebeeck. As a representative of the V.O.C. ( East Indian Company), he was the one who saw the possibilities of Cape Town.
He didn’t actually. He didn’t want to be in the Cape. He wrote to the VOC asking them to let him come back. After a long time, with help from the indigenous populations, they managed to survive. Then the vryburghers started etc. And just btw, vryburghers comprised the odd coloured and black person because the VOC/early settlers couldn’t have managed without them. I hate how people whitewash history.
@@SmilingSoulful Van Riebeeck boarded the ship "De Dromedaris" on December 16, 1651, accompanied by "De Goede Hoop", and "De Reijger", but did not leave until a week later. He had been sent to set up a refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope. On April 6, 1652, Van Riebeeck landed at Table Bay. In the service of the V.O.C, he founded Fort "De Goede Hoop" and Fort " Duijnhoop", the first Dutch settlements at the Cape of Good Hope. Van Riebeeck and his 90 settlers (including eight women) laid out gardens to grow fruit and vegetables for the crew of the V.O.C ships that usually visited the colony for a few weeks. A hedge of almond trees was added to keep stray livestock out of the gardens. Van Riebeeck remained commander of the modest fort until May 7, 1662. After that, he was succeeded by Zacharias Wagener. He arrived in Batavia on 5 July. Van Riebeeck was governor of Dutch Malacca from October 1662 to October 1665 and buried his wife there, who had died of smallpox on November 2, 1664, and several children. Balthasar Bort became his successor. In Batavia, he became secretary of the High Government of the Indies. He remarried the widow Maria Scipio in 1667. Van Riebeeck would remain secretary until his death, on January 18, 1677.

They were even compensated for the land the settlers used even though they didn't have any concept of land ownership in their nomadic culture...

South Africa went to sh_t when Rhodes and his posse took over the Cape. If it wasn't for his imperialistic policy, South Africa would've been a lot more peaceful. Where Blacks would've had all the amenities of the modern world, alongside the Boers. Rhodes is the one who started the wars with the Boer, and later, his posse, forcibly integrated those EXTREMELY conservative people, with the formerly liberal Cape. It is on that fateful year: 1910, that South Africa became destined to become the most toxic place this side of Africa. You had the Afrikaners, who had pure hatred for Black people, and a resentment towards anything British, become a dominant political population who eventually took out the less-conservative, anti-nationalist _"South African Party"_ , and replaced it with their Afrikaner-nationalist sh_t that brought so much pain and suffering to innocent human beings. I read about _"John Charles Molteno"_ , an Italo-British man, former governor of the Cape, and a great liberal man, whose policies saw Black people's freedom GUARANTEED in the CONSTITUTION. This saw many Xhosas recieving a good modern education, including the first ever acquisition of a degree by a Black woman in the entire Africa. The legacy of this were all the Xhosas that were leaders in the first ever opposition, to the coming oppression. Which eventually led to Mandela. (But that's just our timeline). I can only imagine how life would've been if the British government had decided to allow the Cape to become a federation instead be in union with South Africa, or become an independent republic, or just got rid of Rhodes entirely. We would have a _MUCH_ more educated, well-adapted Black population, that would've gotten the same education that every White person was getting in the Cape and the Boer republics. We would've had Black people that were less radical, and as conservative as a White _"Boomer"_ is today. We would've had a lot more peace, a lot less racism, and this side of Africa would've been the most industrialised, and the most-economically powerful UNDISPUTEDLY! If only the Boer weren't such hateful people. If only!

I'm just saying it was unfair. My grandmother deserved a better experience growing up.
Don't apologize for the truth.
I can tell you are a good man im white and you know when i watch these videos i usually just see people of Color saying it was so bad and it is the whites fault and all that and usually i get angry because apartheid is over and the people say these things was not even effected by apartheid it was there grannys and so forth and i know apartheid was wrong i even hate the word apartheid my best friend is black and i love him hes like a brother to me i just wish all of these talks of apartheid and all the hate toward white people stops because it was not us who dit it and it also was not you who was effected by it it was our parents and grandparents But anyways i really hope i did note offend anyone i love everyone im my opinion colour of skin does not matter everyone should be treated the same❤️

Not once have I heard the name of Jan van Riebeeck. As a representative of the V.O.C. ( East Indian Company), he was the one who saw the possibilities of Cape Town.
He didn’t actually. He didn’t want to be in the Cape. He wrote to the VOC asking them to let him come back. After a long time, with help from the indigenous populations, they managed to survive. Then the vryburghers started etc. And just btw, vryburghers comprised the odd coloured and black person because the VOC/early settlers couldn’t have managed without them. I hate how people whitewash history.
@@SmilingSoulful Van Riebeeck boarded the ship "De Dromedaris" on December 16, 1651, accompanied by "De Goede Hoop", and "De Reijger", but did not leave until a week later. He had been sent to set up a refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope. On April 6, 1652, Van Riebeeck landed at Table Bay. In the service of the V.O.C, he founded Fort "De Goede Hoop" and Fort " Duijnhoop", the first Dutch settlements at the Cape of Good Hope. Van Riebeeck and his 90 settlers (including eight women) laid out gardens to grow fruit and vegetables for the crew of the V.O.C ships that usually visited the colony for a few weeks. A hedge of almond trees was added to keep stray livestock out of the gardens.
Van Riebeeck remained commander of the modest fort until May 7, 1662. After that, he was succeeded by Zacharias Wagener. He arrived in Batavia on 5 July. Van Riebeeck was governor of Dutch Malacca from October 1662 to October 1665 and buried his wife there, who had died of smallpox on November 2, 1664, and several children. Balthasar Bort became his successor. In Batavia, he became secretary of the High Government of the Indies. He remarried the widow Maria Scipio in 1667. Van Riebeeck would remain secretary until his death, on January 18, 1677.

@@gerrybenny2277 Learn the actual history of the country before commenting like an ignorant fool. The only indigenous of this land were the ancestors of the Khoisan, who were nomadic, did not settle on any single piece of land and lived alongside and traded with the settlers peacefully when passing through. They were even compensated for the land the settlers used even though they didn't have any concept of land ownership in their nomadic culture... The Bantu invaders on the only hand only arrived from the north and east looking for work for the first time after the whites had built everything, yet today they claim the land belongs to them.
@@aweness952 Learn the actual history of the country before commenting like an ignorant fool: "pioneering Bantu groups had reached modern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa by AD 300 along the coast, and the modern Limpopo Province (formerly Northern Transvaal) by AD 500". That's 1100 years before South Africa was even spotted by a European. (From Wikipedia even. Got more academic sources if you need them). Not even going to get into the genocide of the KhoiSan and the fact that they weren't compensated for land. And, yes, there was peaceful trading until the colonial powers decided that it was better to have racist war and law and to take every single bit of other people's land they could find.
@@aweness952 And honestly you really think things were suddenly amazing cos white people arrived and built stuff? Firstly, was no one surviving in Africa before white people? Where do you think the white settlers learned to build suitable houses for the climate.... to find the right things to eat....? And who actually built the stuff, buddy? Was it not black labour that mined the gold and farmed the fields, to help make poor little white people's lives easier? Did white people not screw up Europe so much that they had to take land all around the world?

wow ...what has the ANC DONE

South Africa went to sh_t when Rhodes and his posse took over the Cape.
If it wasn't for his imperialistic policy, South Africa would've been a lot more peaceful.
Where Blacks would've had all the amenities of the modern world, alongside the Boers.
Rhodes is the one who started the wars with the Boer, and later, his posse, forcibly integrated those EXTREMELY conservative people, with the formerly liberal Cape.
It is on that fateful year: 1910, that South Africa became destined to become the most toxic place this side of Africa.
You had the Afrikaners, who had pure hatred for Black people, and a resentment towards anything British, become a dominant political population who eventually took out the less-conservative, anti-nationalist _"South African Party"_ , and replaced it with their Afrikaner-nationalist sh_t that brought so much pain and suffering to innocent human beings.
I read about _"John Charles Molteno"_ , an Italo-British man, former governor of the Cape, and a great liberal man, whose policies saw Black people's freedom GUARANTEED in the CONSTITUTION.
This saw many Xhosas recieving a good modern education, including the first ever acquisition of a degree by a Black woman in the entire Africa.
The legacy of this were all the Xhosas that were leaders in the first ever opposition, to the coming oppression. Which eventually led to Mandela. (But that's just our timeline).
I can only imagine how life would've been if the British government had decided to allow the Cape to become a federation instead be in union with South Africa, or become an independent republic, or just got rid of Rhodes entirely.
We would have a _MUCH_ more educated, well-adapted Black population, that would've gotten the same education that every White person was getting in the Cape and the Boer republics.
We would've had Black people that were less radical, and as conservative as a White _"Boomer"_ is today.
We would've had a lot more peace, a lot less racism, and this side of Africa would've been the most industrialised, and the most-economically powerful UNDISPUTEDLY!
If only the Boer weren't such hateful people. If only!

It is a pity that the black children decide to burn dozens of schools to the ground over and over again, schools and books provided for them to educate themselves and till this day black people do not want to became teachers even the minister of education ones said that it is a huge problem to get black teachers, they just not interested, so if white people step in, they are racist and must leave.

They didn't mention anything about apartheid and how they outcasts the people that was here century's before them..let the camera take u on atrip to the squalor sections..but wot would u know..u had it good ..didn't u
You're delusional just go home to Holland, this is Africa
@@rodgerroelf6986 What people were in southern Africa centuries before the European came? Definitely not black people.
@@chrisest6715 what's yr idea of southern Africa..cape town .
@@rodgerroelf6986 Don't make yourself sound even more stupid than you already have. Read up, do a bit of research, go back to school, find out the truth. Black man comes from central Africa not southern Africa and definitely not the Western Cape.
Does anybody know what that beautiful tune is at 4:50 ?
ههههههههههههه
Back in the good old dsys, when blacks did what they were told and when the white man were running the show.

I want to go there!
I’m afraid you’re about 30 years too late...
If you go there now you would get robbed when you land
@@cjhero20yt82 Rude
Do not hesitate go there it's amazing!!
@@lawsonhellu4718 At last, a positive comment. Yes, go! It's great.
Give me a minute while my eyes adjust from overexposure to all the bright white light... I understand this video as a valuable artifact of SA history, window into the past and source material for building social commentary/debate, but I am still astounded at the amount of bias and misinformation contained in this video. It is either pure propaganda designed to hoodwink the world into thinking what a paradise SA was/is, or alternatively, the author and endorsers actually believed the narrative they were portraying. Or a bit of both. Not sure which is worse. Needless to say, it was not paradise the vast majority of SA.
Well said Andreas! It gets me when people bang on about the good old days and good for who unless you were white. They also go on about how it looked so clean and nice back then as well. Most of Cape Town and the Western Cape is still just as clean and stunning to this day.
Now the filthy Cape of evil
It's still wonderful to me.
Good old days!
Fuckin shithole of note now...
Wait, but South Africa didn’t have TV until 1976......
Clean
Colourful “Coon’s Carnival”. Oh dear ...
and then came the anc and f it all up
and you came to this country after us superior race as a tee planter /picker so fuck off back to stinking India you coelie poes
100% BOER racism and wildly inaccurate statements are never the answer. And once again please make use of punctuation. You don't like it in South Africa then move to another country. It's literally that easy.
Krishna Govender yet I still have a higher IQ than you😊😊
you want to bet on that genius.
funny thing about your higher IQ,did not help when getting your car washed now,wudnt you say?
This is Cape town? Wow 🥺
Looks just like Lagos, Nigeria.
Well all your Nigerian drug dealers are here
@@shaunnaidoo8811 you don't belong here kula
@@sbonelosiyabonga1497 what's wrong bongs why u hate Indians. Because we are intelligent hard working smart. You see some of us driving nice cars have nice houses and think we are all rich. U a fool.
@@shaunnaidoo8811 if you are smart go back to India a lot of your are just poor as us
@@sbonelosiyabonga1497 im from India. I came from across the seas. I use my brains and work hard. Iv outsmarted u in every way. Iv accumulated wealth while u wait for handouts. Pretty soon I will leave when u kick me out. Then u won't have my tax money to pay for your child grant everymonth.
A proud South Africa with a future!
Today it is all messed up,and is beyond repair.
Was this a propaganda video promoting racist apartheid goverment? I dont see them showing life in township in langa and gugulethu where they kept blacks and also mitchells plain and cape flats? It would have been nice if the show life of all south africans not just minority
Probably would have still been better than it is now..government has failed us.
@Jeremiah Morley i was not allowed by law to make such a video in that place. You do know that this is a 1960 video. Durr
@FOMO FUD what democracy? When 90% of the population were by prevented from voting, who can that be called democracy?
@FOMO FUD i know about that about that farce.. That had nothing to do 90 %of the population of the country as they never even participated in it. Also wht other choice could they have voted for. Country was broke. Sanctions killed the economy. Debt was way to high. Black majority was woke demanding their freedom. Libaration moverments were being unbanned. And western backers of old regim saw it was no longer sustainable to support such illigitimate goverment. That was a real farce i tell you. People that could be credited for fighting for democracy are those who while they were afforded privilages on the bases of colour as early as 40s , 50s and 60s sacrificed all of that and took out the fight for non segregation. A lot of them spoke the truth to power when it was not fashionable to do so. They went to jail. Exile and some had it bad. Those are people we will forever praise.
@FOMO FUD look even if they had voted no. It would not have changed anything. The wheels of our revolution were not turning back. Dont get me wrong. As you say it was your first vote , i respect you as well for what you did. The problem with people still having hatred is really what you see in social media. You have racist openly praising good old apartheid south africa. These so called keyboard warriors spread fake information. Critical of anything new south african with their false claim of genocides. With false notion that some foreign goverment will come and rescue them.. they fail to account and be honest of what really happened in this country. Sometimes we ask why did we not have nuremburg type of trials after end of apartheid as it happened in nazi germany. Maybe we would not have such blantant racisim promoted everyday. Be that as it may i hear your point now.
the bad old days..
Before Bantu Colonisation began in the 80s
These old videos always show the beautiful side of apartheid South Africa. I’m yet to see one that shows both sides. I mean, the army killing black people for being black in townships.
You're an idiot if you still believe the lie.
@@purpleduck3494 you don't know the psychological impact and damage that comes with marshal law, raids, intimidation, violence, family members going missing then being found dead, not having a voice...
You sound like someone who never cared to begin with. You have fellow countrymen who literally need counseling, psychiatrists to forget and most of all healing.
Don't be so cold just because the world isn't as "pleasant" it was in back then for you.
@@purpleduck3494 apartheid apologist!
@@CandyGirl44 Yes.
They will never show you because the so called beautiful side was built on the back of the African's blood, sweat and tears. We were slaves in the gold mines that financed that DOG Cecil Rhodes
GOOD OLD CAPE
Batman's cape could kick it's ass.
Lies! Nothing can beat the Cape of Good Hope. You need to provide solid evidence
