Proudly South African

[LynneMotichannel]

Well done ...thanks! Loved the memories and think you timed the edit perfectly to the music.

[GalenSchultz]

@LynneMotichannel Thank you Lynne, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[sengenex]

Just wanted to say thank you. I think its very easy for us to focus on the negatives but no matter where you go in the world South Africa will always be home. I'm currently living in switzerland with constant electricity, water low crime rate, cheap wi-fi, all the things I wanted when i was in SA. but I would trade them all to be home doping a black label and having a braai with my chomies.

[GalenSchultz]

@sengenex Thanks Sengenex, that's such a lovely thing to say. Come and visit!

[Mun6020]

@sengenex Wat say jy, Same here bru. I am a South African living in Austria. I miss it at times so bloody much especially when i watch such videos. BTW i will be in zurich during the new year. Take care bru.

[GalenSchultz]

At the time of writing this the South African government has just passed the Protection of Information Bill, also known as the "secrecy bill". This will give those in government the power to censor any information they deem necessary. Lets just pray that this moment in history doesn't ruin things for South Africa...

[MrPeeenut]

i am so homesick :(

[TheFrytrix1]

One awesome Video, Proud to Be South African

[GalenSchultz]

@TheFrytrix1 Thanks man, please help spread the proudness around! SA No.1!

[MsDaffeyduck]

[GalenSchultz]

Thank you all so much for all your kind and encouraging words. Please help make this video viral and show the rest of the world what a great country we have!

[mrjerryedd]

[velleskins]

Briliantly done.

[TheGeofile]

It's sad to hear of everybody that's immigrated. You can't stick around for the good times and then leave in tougher times... We are South Africans and our identities will never be that of another country. Come back and fight to make it better!

[madmum23]

such a beautiful looking country despite all the problems wich SA are trying to overcome.I hope to visit here one day and drink a proper castle lager and have a real braai :D

[gummyluv143]

[rikardorsa]

I'm a SOUTH AFRICAN, but sadlly i'm not living there for 18 years already, but everyday i came to the internet to see things about my country.

[sa2uklost]

Thanks @Dayley1116 :) You can download YouTube videos using a free program called "YouTube Downloader". If you Google those words you should find it. Then it's just a matter of copy-pasting the url of the video you want to download!

[GalenSchultz]

No one dictates where you choose to live except for yourself :-)

[Dayley1116]

@GalenSchultz

I would realy like a copy of this video to show my class, our theme is South Africa, where can I get a copy, I don't have internet in my classroom?

[MatildaEls]

@GalenSchultz Not always true. You can't just live anywhere you want. There are laws governing such things. Like I couldn't just have moved to America. It was a process and mainly the reason for not picking up and just leaving is because of the money that the foreign governments get out of you.

[GalenSchultz]

@MatildaEls If you want something badly enough you will find a way to make it happen

[MatildaEls]

@GalenSchultz I guess you are right, it just might take a very long time

[BastianZA]

Thumbs up for this and greetings to my home, will never forget you, Cape Town and whole SA!

[BastianZA]

Crying! :-(

[sa2uklost]

@BastianZA me too i miss home..my heart will always be south african

[lizelleilse]

This is an awesome video! It makes me miss SA even more... but most importantly, it makes me feel PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN :)))

[biancacoetzee]

Great video! Thanks so much for showing the rest of the world our beautiful country! :']

[dugdethug]

[dugdethug]

Your from KZN hey?

[GalenSchultz]

Yup, born and bred!

[dugdethug]

thanks for this, SA needs it :)

[akhshai]

Ehh! Mango Groove! Now this takes me back... miss home now.

[mmatsatsi]

[fbk2047]

@mmatsatsi

Where in Texas are you? Im also a proud South African in Texas!

[kobusleroux]

Galen, did you do all the photography yourself?

Want dis ongelooflike fotos!

Dankie vir die video, ek's nou lekker homesick, maar trots op ons land!

=)

[GalenSchultz]

I didn't take all the photos myself but rather spend a good couple of weeks sourcing pics from all over.

I'm thinking of doing a second, related video, so if anyone has any great proudly SA pics that you would like to be included please don't hesitate to email them to me! :-)

[lezfer]

@kobusleroux stem, dis 'n nice homesick videotjie

[mattcampshaw4]

i love south africa and love heaing and seeing things like this!!!!!!!!!!!

[GalenSchultz]

The song is "special star" by proudly South African band "Mango Groove" :-)

Thanks for the commnents! I'm glad you enjoyed my video

[Kordovaner]

What is the name of the song?Its awesome :) And the video too. Thanks for sharing it.

[curtishuysamen]

Great stuff Galen......

[garethlagerwall]

Awesome vid! keep it up!

:-)

[GalenSchultz]

This song not only psyches me up for the day ahead but reminds me what a great country we live in. I've been wanting to create a video around this for a while now with the aim of instilling patriotic sentiments and warm&fuzzy feelings in the hearts and minds of all South Africans near and far. My hope is that this video will give new vigor to what it means to be proudly South African, will make foreigners to our shores feel welcome, and will keep all South Africans positive about their country

[2003dhl]

@GalenSchultz Thank you so much for this video...... what a pity , that we can only aprreciate this when not living in the country !!!
