My South Africa (playlist)

This video is not meant to provoke or insult anyone but merely to raise awareness of the sad reality that we are dealing with in countries in Africa, India and many more. Past and present, young children barely in their teens, are exploited to the shocking reality of poverty ultimately concluding in child labour, dehumanisation and sometimes human trafficking. This friendly, innocent and underage, Portuguese child in Mozambique during the apartheid years, were taught the Afrikaans language. For him to secure work from holidaymakers he adopted the phrase "I can speak Afrikaans, my name is Ballas and I'm a Kaffir" It is sad that young children in impoverished countries all over the world try to seek any method to earn an income to sometimes support their entire family. Demoralizing themselves becomes just another method to find work.

Leatherback Turtle – Laying eggs in broad daylight at Sodwana – South Africa

Africa Adventures

Leatherbacks are the largest turtles on Earth, growing up to two meters long and exceeding 900 kilograms. Leatherbacks can dive to depths of 1,280 meters — deeper than any other turtle—and can stay down for up to 85 minutes.

Female hatchlings that make it to sea will roam the oceans until they reach sexual maturity, when they return to the same nesting areas to produce their own offspring. Males spend the rest of their lives at sea.

After mating at sea, females come ashore during the breeding season to nest. The nighttime ritual involves excavating a hole in the sand, depositing around 80 eggs, filling the nest, leaving a large, disturbed area of sand that makes detection by predators difficult, and finally returning to the sea.

We were very fortunate to encounter one of these magnificent creatures, early morning in broad daylight, on the beach close to Sodwana, South Africa, performing her natural ritual of coming ashore and laying her eggs.

African wild dog blocking our road and followed u's to our campsite for revenge?

Africa Adventures

Don’t disturb the wild in Africa. They might just take revenge?

It is variously called the African wild dog, also known as African hunting dog, Cape hunting dog, painted dog, painted wolf, painted hunting dog, spotted dog, or ornate wolf. Lycaon pictus.

Rhino. Amazing must see footage of Black Rhino and an amazing caretaker.

Africa Adventures

Matusadona is now an Intensive Protection Zone as the small number of remaining rhino are successfully protected day and night by parks board personnel.

Newly introduced young black rhino are kept overnight in bomas under the watchful eyes of armed guards. Still being babies they need to be fed twice a day with a nutritious milk formula, mamma style.

Then they are off to explore their new and save territory accompanied by an armed scout complete with 2 way radio who will protect them with his life.

PLEASE can someone find the barefoot man with the purple shirt and orange pants because he deserves a medal. No, he deserves more! Feeding, caring and walking with the Rhino, dedicating his life to them deserves him more than a medal, maybe a Nobel Price, or at least, international recognition? Give that man a Bells!

All I can say is that he is from Zimbabwe and he works for their Wildlife Department at Matusadona on the shores of Lake Kariba.

Black Rhino fighting until the big one shits himself.

Africa Adventures

Matusadona once had the largest black rhino population in Zimbabwe.

Today many of their shuttered skulls are lined up like white tombstones along the road in the Chete safari area.

Dismal reminders of poachers, who shot their way through the area, in the 70s and 80s. What a sad end for these creatures which, with huge effort, were saved from the rising waters in Operation Noah.
