We never use the word "Slums" in South Africa. At first I didn't even know what it meant, I had to look it up. We use "Townships" instead.

Some townships are not as dangerous as they say, some people build mansions in townships not because they cant afford to stay in surburbs but because they are comfortable. You would swear some of the townships are surburbs .not all townships are shacks.luv from SA

Schools were integrated in 1990 in South Africa. I was one of very few none white kids in my Primary School and I started school in '99. The older kids would use racist slurs. I, personally felt unable to complain to my Parents coz I was given the gift of a good education... I hope our kids get it better

Soweto ( South Western Townships) also people were divided according to Ethnic groups...Like they basically wanted Tswanas in one section, Zulus in another section etc.. The old divide and rule concept....it did not work though, people found a way to get together...

Commonly, South Africans identify themselves by ethnic group, but so often people from Soweto identify merely as Sowetans, because there, it would not be considered strange for one grandparent to be Zulu, another Sotho, another Coloured and another Zimbabwean.

So true. 30 years is not enough time to be over everything and re building and correcting everything will take longer than that. We have done a lot. That's why we don't compete with anyone. We just want to be better than yesterday. If you know our country you know we have gone very far.

There's still an awful amount of pain and suffering amongst our Indigenous population in Australia. It took roughly 200 years for things to really start getting better from Colonisation in 1788 on. Until the 70's they weren't even acknowledged as human by the government. The Australian Government has been doing a lot to help, but it's an ongoing thing including National Sorry Day. When Queen Elizabeth II died I became aware of the demands our Indigenous population had been putting on her. They wanted either an apology or at least an acknowledgement of the past atrocities committed by Britain and our government. Unfortunately She wouldn't do it, so I think that's continuing with King Charles III. I'm starting another comment.

Great video guys. I like it. Soweto is an abbreviation for South Western Townships. So all the townships in the south west of Johannesburg were renamed to collective name "Soweto" after 1994 when Nelson Mandela was president and the ANC came into power.

Nchoo you have a special place in our hearts too. I am glad you highlighted the time frame. Yes we have a lot of issues to deal with as a country but we have come a long way. We have government schools and health care facilities that are free to the public. Our health care is the best in Africa. We have Nsfas(National Student financial aid scheme) taking people who to higher education who wouldn't have afforded University. Yes we can cry about the negatives and we are not there yet but there are a lots of positives we can still pride ourselves with as a country. Not there but we are getting there. The food in this video makes me go hungry instantly.

I understand being born in poverty but it's better being a country where there is still opportunity. whereby you can work hard and move yourself out of poverty. With good infrastructure, and employment opportunities. South Africa it's even difficult to find a job , infrastructure is falling apart and starting a business is extremely difficult with no money. it's irritating because we got potential if government really focused on those three things. Job opportunities ( Good investmenst) Ease of creating Businesses ( funding schemes) improving and maintaining infrastructure. that's all we ask for so we can work our way out.

Well at least when it came to roughly half of those dishes I didn't want to throw up. I can't handle hot spicy foods, unfortunately I can't handle Coleslaw. It hurts my mouth to eat it and then it gives me a heck of a sore stomach. I'd be looking at the person doing the cooking with my big almond shaped eyes and begging to know what's in those sauces first. I'd be asking them to please leave the Coleslaw off my dish with those hamburger patties for my mouth and stomach's sake. But I would be willing to try them, possibly splitting them with someone else. I probably wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the day though. Except to eat something light with a nice salad 🥗. I would also would want to wait for at least a couple of days between trying them.

Slums isn’t really the hood, its informal housing the hood is better than the slums.

I would say the hood equivalent is our Townships not necessarily the slums

I eat it, in Angola 🇦🇴 and in DRC we have grey clay, I eat it and love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.... pregnant women eat too much of it

I would say the "hood" is more the coloured areas, as to the townships. Like people in the townships are good people who dont even have the opportunity to do anything. In the coloured community, youll see a situation more similar in culture to the hood, as the coloured community adopted a lot of hiphop influences into the culture, and maxe it coloured. Like, for example, no self-respecting coloured boy wears a pants that isnt 3 sizes too big. No coloured boy hates hiphop music and they only listen to rnb for the toxic kings like brent and breezy. The car pimping, gang affiliation and illegal substance dealings. That story about your granny, might apply to the township as well, but in the coloured community, its out of necessity. We look out for each others kids, because of the gang activities and the fact that it takes a community to battle it.
