American students share notes on SA culture
Вставка

- There's often a comparison in culture between South Africa and the United States. SA is considered a developing country while the US is seen as a developed one. The belief is that America is always ahead of SA on some aspects, but this is not always the case. The comparison often ranges from technology, food, hospitality, weather, etc.. Naledi Moleo unpacks the differences and some similarities with language and culture lecturer Dr Sipho Sithole and two of his American students Anastasia Taylor and Tatiana Allen.

Watching this makes me realize that i sometimes take it for granted just how rich our country is in culture.
I'm crossing my fingers we all know and appreciate who Sipho Sithole is - what a legend. What a plethora of badges up his sleeve. Damn this man🙂
We all have a good and a bad side - legend to some and skelem to others ... Do u know him personally ?
@Papito_ZA No sir. I don't at all. I grew up in the 90's though
@@khatmanworld ahh then you should know his part in Slaghuis Joint Elements 👀..
@@Papito_ZA do you know him personally?

Awakening project for African people in the diaspora, much appreciate uBaba Sithole and Sisi Velile, we proud of you as Zulus , keep on promoting Zulu language to the world 🙌
All Black people are proud of uBaba and uSis Velile and not only Zulus.
@@user-fh3oc5ij3s He is promoting Zulu culture, what's wrong with appreciating him for that?,
@@user-fh3oc5ij3s weh kwasuka lokho
Always have to make it about tribalism. They visited South Africa not KZN only
@@sekoaib oh so it is tribalism to be proud of being Zulu?, you people are weird. We are Zulus and are proud of that.
The lady in white also has such a South African look, she is even educating the journalist most of whom are completely aloof. They are both so grounded. Thank you also to sis Velile who is doing a good job showcasing our country. She is the Dr's wife and has her own lifestyle channel showcasing rural South Africa like youve never seen.
An African look rather. There's nothing called a "South African look"
There is though @@kabelomolisana8580
@@kabelomolisana8580exactly. While certain countries do have specific phentotypes (South Africa "San" phentype"), many Black people can actually blend in in many Black communities around the world.
@kabelomolisana8580 i think there is though. Same way we can tell someone is Nigerian or Zimbabwean just by appearance.
South african look his correct we dont look the same like other africans @kabelomolisana8580
I am a South African studying in America and when I say South Africa is ahead on a lot of things people don’t believe it and there are way more issues in America than one thinks this is why I always tell people there is no better place than home yes South African has our issues but the direction the people are heading is bright. In order to see that brightness is up to use but I think it’s possible the only thing standing in our way is the government once it show consistency we as a country will thrive beyond belief
Why go to someone's country to criticise, how about some decorum?
@@dennisflo9284but it's true they still pay people with envelope 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂@@tshepialletta3482
I agree I live in the Middle East there is some tech that isn't in the middle east that I've seen in South Africa which blows my mind, SA really dont know how blessed they are the grass is not greener on the other side!
I’m a proud Zulu girl and I absolutely enjoyed this. Thank you for coming to South Africa to actually learn about our beautiful Zulu culture and country ❤
Tatiana thank you for the positive words about our country. You are a deep thinker
Yasho leyonto!! Hay ziyakhala ke manje, Girls you'll are not lost at all this is you'll real home, you'll were taken from South Africa indeed . Welcome home daughters of the soil we love you'll so much. Speaking Zulu for you'll is amazing and that's your real language girl. Thank you sir Sithole for doing the great job to our people!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
No they weren't 😂😂
motho o banna
@@blackming3420 always trying to claim black Americans when their ancestors are somewhere in West Africa. South Africans are pick me's that's why foreigners do as they please
I am a naturalized American, originally from East Africa.
I spent 5 years in Cape Town, moving between Retreat, Woodstock, Heathfield, Plumstead, Parrow, Muizenberg, Simons Town,...
The US is great, but not a paradise or perfect or anything like that.
The prob is, not only people in Africa and some parts of Asia and Latin America think of the US as a superior country by all metrics but equally so do Americans themsleves because most Americans don't even have a passport so they have not travel throughout their lifetime!! Not even to Mexico...!!!??
When I arrived in the US I had lived in South Africa and had spent about 7 months in Japan. I could tell a number of things where the US lagged behind in a clear and undisputable manner.
And I am glad the professor pointed out about malls. Frankly, SA has some of the best malls I have ever seen in my life, and believe me I have been all over the world.
And public transportation wise, Europe and Japan and China are by far better than the US.
I wish I could get a way to stay in South Africa again, it is such a fascinating country: the Water Front, Cape of Good Hope, the Camps Bay, Hout Bay....
10:34 She's soooo humble. I like the way she speaks. You would swear she's from KZN. Her Zulu name is Busisiwe, Busi in short.
whatever
@@sebolai-dd4wo yini inkinga yakho ngoba I wasn't talking to you.
Stop dishing out names or is it a Zulu culture as well?
You already giving her a Zulu name? 😂😂
He is seeing another wife in her..
I am a black South African this is beautiful to see black Americans coming to South Africa to learn about our culture as black people it is important to know about their roots and what it means to be black and embracing blackness this is good the world is changing indeed
Not a SINGLE African was taken from South African shores to the Americas. Why did they not go to Ghana or Nigeria?
@@dannyarcher6370 why should they go to Ghana or Nigeria?
@@frederickkgagane Cos that's where their slave ancestors came from. No slaves left South African shores so I'm not sure what they're doing their looking for their roots. They should be learning Igbo or Twi not Zulu.
@@dannyarcher6370 you sound so unwell inside your head
@@dannyarcher6370borderless Africa… all the same people
We need Sipho Sithole to come back to Podcast and Chill with these girls for the chillers sake please!!
It is always beautiful seeing someone from outside Africa appreciating our cultures, given we were brainwashed to worship western culture and reject ours. As a proud Zulu this warms my heart.
Dr. Sipho Sithole is an incredible mind & cultural representation. His students have a great mind to learn from - I wish him nothing but the best!
I am moving to South Africa and this is the beginning of a great cultural migration of young African Americans seeing South Africa. South Africans must also learn African American culture too.
South Africans who wants to move to USA must learn the American culture...not us who doesn't want live in America.
We already know it, you just didn't care about ours until you learnt we're not so backward as you thought
@@pmambongwe8640 you do not know our culture just as we do not know yours. It is about learning and exploiting the global African experience.
There’s nothing to learn on American culture.
There is a lot to learn about African American culture especially the similarities in how black people lived during slavery and all the movements that were created to break free from that bondage, a bit similar to the movements made during apartheid for black people to be free from injustices.
Most Africans think they can't learn anything from African American culture because of the immorality that is popularised in the media, however that is just a small portion of African American culture, just look at these two well spoken African American ladies taking an interest in African culture.
Dr. Sipho Sithole is our legend. We are so proud of the work. 🎉
Am a Soci-cultural and Behavioral Anthropologist from Nigeria, studied in Nelson Mandel University. The South African culture is very interesting and fascinating, there are a lot of declining cultures accross Africa and we need researchers and writers to preserve our beautiful culture and tradition.
Thatiyana ... so well spoken ... the voice
Now you giving her Zulu name instead of Tatiana 😅😅 nh
Love how you spelled Thatiyana❤😂😂👌
@@tamara40 That is honestly what her name looked like in my head. Not a bad moniker at all. That your name is your name, everywhere, just spelt differently, and maybe a different meaning. Almost Spiritual. Almost...
How Lovely 🥰 and Congratulations 🎊 I follow the Dr’s Lovely Wife Mrs. Velile! I look forward to learning the language and experience South Africa! 💎🎊🌟🥰💙🩵🩶
Jobe Jobe Jobe and Mam Velile Siyabonga ngokuvula abantu amehlo
Babu Sithole is such an amazing informed man...I once seen him on Podcast and chill platform...he got a of SA historically knowledge Respect!!!!!!!
That's the history we need in our curriculums
not hitler
Great kids. Truly intelligent and humble
What were u gonna say if they came from Uganda? Same impression? I doubt it
@@kabelomolisana8580 That is so silly I shouldn't even be replying
@@luthando8285hai lomuntu has such a hatred against south africans
I also hope you not saying that because they from the U.S.
USA has one of the worst education system,I really don’t find young Americans intelligent.
in tears...sooo beautiful
If we can focus more to our South African history we would be billionaires...you opened my mind Sir❤
This two beautiful Black girls look like they were born here in Soweto,how similar Black people are regardless where we are born in the world.
they look more half white....what part of their skin is "black" ???
💯‼️🤗✨️

Similar, that's a lie 😂😂😂
@@thembanimgenu190 go away with your negative spirit.
The anchor was so excited about meeting Americans until she was reminded about the land disposition from our people...and the ANC her excitement was diminished 😊
You got it.

I'm beyond impressed by Dr. Sithole. The man is super accomplished!
Great Job Dr Sithole no Mama Velile🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I’m Pedi and in Primary school I wasn’t allowed to speak my mother tongue with my peers but the Teachers could speak English and Afrikaans, I never protested against it I was just a kid so growing up I never used the pedi language consistently I feel like I lost Something that was supposed to be a part of me, It’s more than just a Language it’s my Identity, it’s who I am that was stripped away from me. Sometimes I even Reminisce on How people are viewed when speaking a language, People are looked down at for speaking a black African Language in the Middle class because that language is associated with the stereotype of a Black person from the township I’ve seen the preconceived notions and looks people give my family when they speaking Vernac, I decided to love my African Roots, to love my skin, my KINKY hair my fat lips and “round”nose I’ve taken Classes to help with me learning to speak Sepedi and I finally feel I’m connecting to something that’s just deeper than me, it’s something some people wouldn’t understand but Majority of Blacks would understand.
And then you get some dunderheads from nigeria coming here and insulting us. Thank you so much Americans for the love
😂😢
😂😂😂
Very arrogant those ones ....they re like that all over the world
The generalization and stereotype about Nigerians is really sad. Am a Soci-cultural and Behavioral Anthropologist, studied in Nelson Mandela University and I can tell you, you've just been exposed to the wrong ones.
@@mrclaws9818 it's not generalization, but if you insist then so be it
Nice concept from Dr. Sithole, we need to take more of our languages (sesotho, sepedi, setswana, sendebele and isixhosa to the world etc ). Dr's in this respective languages Dr Sithole has shown you the way, now go and take our languages to the world too. Well done Dr. Sithole.
Yabona uNaledi kodwa 🥺😍🤩
Halaaaaaaala Africa Halaaaaaaala Africans in Africa & abroad, Halaaaaaaala Zulu. Phakama Ndlu emnyana, PHAKAMA! You beautiful, powerful & blessed race you✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

i wish most Americans or even anyone outside South Africa and Africa can be like this especially when it comes to understanding different cultures like coloureds and the Tyla situation,if people were more open to knowing cultures we all would ve happy
I’m sorry it’s not taught to us and feels like it banned we are still fighting for our own blc American history to be taught ❤
Siyabonga Maphitha!!! Muhle umsebenzi wakho.
Having a travelled the US, it has given more appreciation for my country and I celebrate the things we do get right over here. Hoping more African Americans travel here and walk away with an enriched sense of their heritage.
We don't need them here. Please continue to travel there if you want to visit with them
@@Cyp372 gaan speel in die verkeer jou laffard!

@@Cyp372They are welcome here. They’ll come anytime they want to and won’t be told by you.

Beautiful people🤓
I like how that American lady said dr sithole❤❤🎉🎉
That was dope❤ But Newsroom Afrika is compromised unfortunately
You can say that again.
What do you mean?
@@Seeta_sa_gauta Mxm bro these people didn’t cover the biggest protest in Africa right now. They just summarised it on the last day. But they are out here broadcasting senseless vlog typa topics.
You are compromised between South Africa and the coloniser.
@@dannyarcher6370 Nah I’m not, I just stay in the UK.
Thank you
So this is why AI Data training companies are looking for Zulu AI Data Trainers
wet dreams, most zulu people are poor and live in rural areas.zulu ai projects wont benefit tech/ marketing companies.they can only work in kzn.
We are not priviledges to add This is powerful as I hear her[ beautiful sister] speaking on land reform and seeing her eyes vested with anger at this problem, working with our sisters and brothers from the states can make it easier for us, easier and we can join hands with them to fight police brutality in the states coz they are really unaliving them in the states also to add mass incarceration.
They so blessed they got to meet the king ,us we can't meet the king 😅
Maybe some years ago people were referring to what was then called "... isiNguni or Nguni culture" ... it similar to Ndebele Swazi or isiXhosa" all the way to Mozambique Malawi Zambia where there were known as"...Angoni or Ngoni...I really appreciate Prof Sithole.
What nonsense are you on.Please just respect the Zulu language and stop being sick and forcing things.What you are saying ais out of context impractical there was no Swazi or ngoni language .Please stop following distorted youtube channels and and fake historians.Ngoni are zulu breaks of during the Zulu expansion project of shaka and the language is diluted.And swazi is a zulu break off group the move d via mozambique interfrating witth the tsonga ndau that's how the dialect changed.And why do you like forcing things when the topic is about zulu people and you see Zulu people give you space when you talk about your cultures .Please stop it.

Yes tell ‘em yess blc colleges ❤❤❤
This was beautiful!
Beautiful to see this
So Americans are learning about our history but its not in our curriculum?
A prophet is treated with honor everywhere except in his own hometown
Respect Dr Sithole 🎉 ❤
Zulu!!!! ZULU!! ZULU!! ZULU!!!✊🏿✊🏿
Thank you Mr Jobe may please take them to Mbombela as well Kruger National Park 🙏
There's nothin there...
Beautiful people, they give u that woosa feeling
I’m coloured and I LOVE the Zulu people 🙌💯
Im mixed and i loved Zulu people too ,grew up in a Zulu household my dad`s side and they are great people .
@@TheHuny85 I’m from Cape Town and came to KwaZulu (Zululand 🙌) last year and experienced true hospitality. I have an eternal love for Zulu people.
Why? Cause They riot and loot when Emperor Zuma is arrested? You know Zulus look down on us coloureds right?
Yoh. Lona who looks like Nkosazana Daughter is so beautiful
Americans that want to migrate to SA need to throughly learn and respect the culture because Africans do not hold back when it comes to their culture.. We're one of the most diverse countries and regions and many wars have been fought protecting our cultural heritage from Western influence so one innocent act can quickly be perceived as a deliberate act of defiance or disrespect if you lack the right knowledge , it's imperative to know that you will first have to white wash everything they have taught you about us. We're highly intellectual and spiritual beings that has kept their heritage and knowledge for thousands of years our social structures are very complicated and extremely rigid
Beautiful
I’d never want to go to America even if it was free
They never wanted you either honestly
we don't want you here stay there.
Don’t ain’t shi there sign a blc American 🇺🇸
I thought they'll "the moment we stepped off the plane, the air, atmosphere, the feeling of completeness made feel we are home, where we belong, where we should be".
Just a thought though
Mr Sthole. You should visit Qcwetwayo Primary School in Mpumalanga
They are so sweet ❤😊
Ppl are mad that they talking about Zulu culture , there's nothing wrong about people of Zulu background being proud... differentiate ppl between pride in yr culture and tribalism
wow this new for me and amazing
in america it makes sense to study spanish as oppose to african language unless u going to be working in an area where zulu is required?.
Im confused they live far but i couldnt tell they are not south african until they say it but i can tell when i see a zimbabwen that this is not a South African just by looking at them yet they are neighbours.something is not adding up
🤣🤣..yep ..and the same goes for Nigerians and etc . Cape Verde is the closest looking like SAN's yet so far away . Zimboz , Mozzies , Malawians etc dont look like us even though neighbours
The light girl looks mixed race
@@thiboznjabu64There is too much mixing with whites here like cape verde
@@thiboznjabu64 DNA does not lie.we have never interacted with this other people in history because we look different from each other
Man it's easy if you look beyond the spectrum of tribe and color South African people are very cool ❤
Guys please Chill, I'm Pedi but still don't understand why you're catching feelings. Embrace your own cultures and love one another instead of focusing on zulus like this. There's a time for everything, your turn will come.
This comment is so unnecessary cheif
Just delete smh
@@afd4017 Read the stupidity he's referring to first and tell those people that
dude are you crazy.your mind is messed up was the a need for you to comment
Pedi language will be the last language these black Americans would prefer to understand so stay away with yo pedi language we are not interested on it and no black Americans prefer it in the moment they prefer isiZulu and Xhosa language 😂😅
African universities should partner on a wide scale, long term basis with American HBCUs. I'm surprised it's not happening already.
Preach!!!!! 10:34 ♥️♥️🇿🇦

That part of this segment had me thinking.....
Brilliant ❤
South Africa is a great country and great continent .Instead of defeating the ends to justice can we please just accept one another and embrace each other instead of the negative comments in an irrelevant platform wich is progressive and has nothing to do with the Negative agenda
Wow, PostNet prints documents OTG, amazing. Each country is developed in different ways. And SA excells differently
Tatiana told Truth to power We need to speak about a bit more
But thy must also teach tswana and other south african languages
American by birth, Zulu by blood and I'm here for the comments 🫣
Mfowethu tried to walk in UPS and print a 400 page document. Haibo that's a novel and they are a shipping company not a publishing house. Next time Bra must take the thumb drive to a proper print shop, i.e., OfficeDepot. Man, that was too funny but he's doing a good deed, though 😂😂😂😂

oh lucky them, some zulu people that are under the king will never even meet the king....bayeze befe bembona ku TV, then some get to access him so easily. how lovely.
These are students and Dr Sithole is a well known figure in the cultural,entertainment and academic sector so he has access.Give him a call and he might make your dream come true as well.
