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.
