  I'm from Colombia and I will show this video to my fellow citizens here. They think that outside my country everyone lives in luxury and abundance. Respect to this people for being part of this interview..

  Poverty is so sad. I am African (black) and so sad to these people suffering. I hope as a continent we can pave a new way to prosperity. Everyone is carrying pain from the past but we have to overcome and create the future we need.

  I’m a white South African from a middle class family, born in 1987. My grandfather was a builder in Durban (RIP Pops) who obvs interacted with black labourers, he learnt fluent Zulu, and so did my dad growing up. It was awesome to see them interact at a meaningful level and the banter was epic. Most conversations were catching people out and ended in hysterical laughter. <br>Videos like this remind me of that. It also reiterates how our SA politicians from apartheid until now have never done anything different. It’s more a class war than a race war. They dangle carrots getting people to feel like we hate each other for our race when we don’t. <br>Well done on this interview - it was tactful and demonstrated how caring and important your community is.

  Love how respectful you are in your approach, asking for permission to film and speaking in a manner that isn&apos;t belittling. &nbsp;Great work.

  On the under hand our government is speaking for one Africa but failed to look after his own children.

  Around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jik_MkFD6Fs&amp;t=361">6:01</a> there’s a mistake in the subtitles, that oom isn’t saying “I’m not resisting”, he said “I’m not racist”. In Afrikaans it has one more syllable, rassisties, which is why it came out a bit strange

  It&apos;s a sad state of affairs. Poverty is a real problem in South Africa. Black or White. It knows no colour. Thank you for showing us the truth. Very eye opening
