This isn’t your typical video — and honestly, it wasn’t easy to make. But some things have to be said.

As Steven and Walter explain, this conversation is uncomfortable, but necessary. It’s not about politics. It’s not about race. It’s about truth — the kind of truth you only understand if you’ve lived in South Africa, especially in the countryside, and seen or heard what really goes on.

🎙️ There’s been a tidal wave of misinformation, and with everything unfolding on the global stage, we can’t stay silent anymore.



🇿🇦 Here’s what’s happening:
President Cyril Ramaphosa is currently in Washington D.C., meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump after the U.S. granted refugee status to 59 white South Africans, citing racial persecution — a claim South Africa’s government strongly denies. The U.S. has since cut foreign aid to South Africa, boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg, and escalated pressure over land expropriation and farmer safety.

Ramaphosa called the Afrikaners who left for the U.S. “cowards,” but for many, leaving wasn’t a choice — it was survival. If you don’t understand that, you haven’t lived it.

Meanwhile, back home, South Africa faces political instability. Ramaphosa’s coalition is under strain, the DA has voted against the national budget, and criticism mounts over the new National Health Insurance Bill.

That’s the context for why videos like this matter.



🌍 Why this video is different:
Walter and Steven don’t want to make content like this — but it’s real. It’s raw. And it’s something only those who have walked this road will truly understand.

No political party. No racial agenda. Just honest conversation from South Africans abroad who still care deeply about the land they left behind.
