Brittish killed thousands of woman and children white and black in death camps.
British King George wanted to Colonize Americans by using Zulu help only for the ship to dock in Western Cape & George died in Britain
The defeat of Cetshwayo involved Americans, Deutsches, British, Slaves, and locals such as Sothoes
First whites were Portuguese
Deutsches were destroyed in the Western Cape by Zulus and the British
False history, the British arrived with Xhosa, Francis Farewell, Xhosa was an interpretator
This guy really hates the british, he could barely contain his smirk whilst talking about the battle of Isandlawana where the zulus ambushed and killed 1,500 british. But then failed to mention the battle of rorkes drift where 130 or so men slaughtered the zulu army. But this guy says "of course the british called in back up and defeated the zulus a year later" no mate. After winning the 1st battle you mention they advanced 10 miles to rorkes drift. The next day…..they met a small group of Double hard English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Indians who faught together like dogs and massacred the zulu army.
There are Sociologists and there was an Evil man called Verwoed who was born in the Netherlands.
Fair.
How do you spell that?
Dude, you need to be hearing the history of South Africa from each cultural category to get a decent gist. Any less, it feels like a propaganda exercise. Unless you have a vast perspective on the context of South Africa, then it's educational to see how other cultures view the past
I say categories because most of the official languages are just umbrella terms for a bunch dialects that differ significantly.
Once met someone who said they spoke Sepedi (I'm (mainstream) pedi) , then they spoke it, that was not Sepedi, I don't care what you say😂😂but apparently, officially it was considered so
This country is kinda weird. Don't be fooled
This is NOT the history of South Africa!! This is pink washed history starting in the middle, leaving out a whole history before colonialisation! History is told by the colonialist!
I think this was a very good summery, thanks.
South Africa Changed because USA wanted it. The berlin wall fell. SA was not needed to fight a war in Angola to restrict Russian influence in Souther Africa, also the Suez Canal meant sea route around Cape was not impoetant.USA had no need from the white goverment in South Africa. Countries don't have friends, they only have interests.
Anyone else impressed with his pronunciation of xhosa!?
Do not listen to this man if you want to understand the history of Africa, and the changes in the South African state since it's carving and founding. This is some simplistic nonsense.
Why are you not telling the truth that the khoi (coloured) people were here first and that the British put the land in trust for the aboriginal South Africans. You Pretend we don't exist in order to steal our land,. all the black tribes you mention are from North Africa. and not indigenous to this country. You purposely leave us out of our own history. Tell them how you hunted and killed our people and stole our land and how you put imposter kings and tribal leaders to pretend that you were taking care of the indigenous peoples in order to steal our land. God will arise for his people. Watch how he will deliver us . May he judge you for your lies.
just pick a way to say Xhosa bro
I enjoyed this account. It was sober. I would love to delve into more detail
Why do we trust this person to give an account of South African history
Who is Dave steward
Malaysia is consisted of 60% malay , 30% chinese , 5% indian & 5% indigenous population.
Malaysia has a social contract drawn up at it's inception to propagate malay (bumiputra)race supremacy and a New Economic Policy (NEP) to ensure malay domination of the economy with a national etiquette bureau (BTN) to propagate malay race supremacy ideals.
Malaysia has affirmative action policies for the benefit of the majority malays in all sectors of the economy ranging from education, employment, property…
Malaysia has elite educational institutions such as MCKK , MRSM, UITM , PASUM and vocational training centers such as IKBN , IKTM, GiatMARA , ILP that are reserved for the majority malays only in fact TVET is considered a malay profession with entire industries like O&G , automotive, electrical reserved for the majority malays.All other public and private educational institutions like universities and colleges have racial quotas to the benefit of the majority malays. The non malays have to sit for the academically rigorous STPM national entrance exams taking 18 months while the malays have the option of less rigorous and transparent pathways such as matriculation, foundation taking just 12 months and consisting of take home assignments and open book tests .
Scholarships funded by civil service department, national bank , GLC, MARA and some funded by countries like Japan & Germany are also reserved for the malays only or have racial quotas that disproportionately favor the majority malays.
Malaysia has racial quotas in employment that disproportionately favor the majority malays especially in the civil service(with pension and all public holidays) with "sensitive posts" like PM , DPM , ministers/DG of finance,defence, home , rural (MARA) , education , AG , uniformed services police , arm forces , border patrol ,GLC like PETRONAS , Maybank , TNB , TM with the non malays largely relegated to the private sector (without pension and 8 public holidays) or underground economy .
Malaysia has freehold malay reserve land that are reserved only for the majority malays with the non malays only able to obtain leasehold land (99 or 66 years) ,with some states like Kelantan having land enactment act that classify all land as malay reserve land in a form of ethnic cleansing , and a 10% discount when purchasing property from the developers for the majority malays even rich malays that are denied to non malays even poor non malays.
Malaysia has high yielding investment funds like ASB and interest free loans like MARA that are reserved for the majority malays only.
Malaysia stock market authority has stipulated that all public listed companies has to donate 30% of their equity to malay trust fund like Khazanah , PNB or malay captain of industry "sleeping partners" who are cronies of the ruling elite and yet the malay controlled ministry of finance will deny the malays ever achieving 30% equity ( even though the GLC alone already exceeded 30% equity) as intended by the New Economic Policy as a milestone to abolish the malay special rights.
Malaysia has race based political parties under the national front BN coalition ( UMNO malay , MCA Chinese , MIC indian) which governed Malaysia for over 60 years and involved in kleptocracy (1MDB , PKFZ 2) and cartels ( Astro, maxis…)
Malaysia government ( local , state , federal) and GLC projects are tendered exclusively to malay or bumiputra contractors (class F) with a many of the malay rentseekers or cronies of the UMNO ruling elite unqualified and selling their license to a small group of chinese cronies of MCA "Ali Baba" like YTL , Berjaya(subcontractors and human trafficking syndicates ) for commission thus inflating the cost of the mega projects like ECRL (by 300%) .
Malaysia local authorities will only approve projects that include new mosques for muslims but will reject any new application for non muslim places of worship like churches or temples even muslim cemeteries are allocated by the local authorities but not non muslim burial grounds.
Malaysia has a covert operations of ethnic cleansing of the non malays such as the project M of former prime minister Mahathir (even though he is of Kerala indian origin himself) to dilute the non malay composition of the demographics by granting citizenship to illegal immigrants from Indonesia who are of similar malay ethnic background to grow the malay vote bank especially in Borneo east Malaysia where the malays are the minorities and also peninsula Malaysia where the composition of non malays were at 50% around the time of independence in 1957 .
