  • I am not offended by "mlungu". In fact, I believe you should have the right to say what you want. Whatever happened to "freedom of speech"?

  • It's a joke guys.

  • lol... dankie mlungu voetsek you give the country a bad name

  • lol

  • kaffir=black....mlungu=white..­..i have now shame saying kafir when then insist in saying mlungu and singing 'kill the whites.....this video is nothing to be jokeing about with the current state of SA....this is bull shit trying to make a joke of a serious matter in SA

  • @81crispy mlungu is not a derogatory term, its what a black person calls a white person in their ethnic language.. its not different from you using the word 'black' to describe a person of african descent.. next time please do your research, and please dont even qoute that urban dictionary bS because its just crap.. unfounded - it doesnt even have an author for f###s sake

  • @MrVusi "Mlungu" is black people's term for white people? So it's not considered racist? Can you remember what white people's term for black people was (still is)? -Ka**er-. Yes, *=f. Why is this term considered racist then? Please do YOUR research before making statements that are INCORRECT and offensive.

  • mlungu = white scum that floats on top of the sea in rough weather.

    calling white people mlungu = racist

    just like calling african people n.... or k.... = racist

    im kinda offended that sabc would air this kind of thing.

    the humour however is not racist and makes an interesting statement of african south africans having more dignity and self respect than they're made out to. but pulling seriously derogatory terms out REPETITIVELY on public television is messed up.

  • @soundslikedeathvox No, it's not an offensive term unlike "kill the boer", look it up it means the supreme creator god of the Nyamwezi people of Tanzania OR "white person". Seriously there is nothing to argue about here it's pretty explicit that that is not an offensive term at all. Anyone who uses mulungu to offend is a retard.

  • @soundslikedeathvox Mlungu = White Scumm......

    That is just Bullshit that has been repeatedly going around....I wonder where it comes from.

    The Term "uMlungu" is a corruption of an earlier term "uMlumbi", which is archaic Zulu for a "Magician" (not "Wizard" = uMthakathi) . The term emanated from the Fact that Zulus considered White Medicine, Technology and Weaponry to be works of Magic.

    The "sea scum" definition is pure Hocum, stop spreading untruths

  • @imbabazane Really.... Wow maybe you had better re-educate the entire nation as one of the Zulu women I work with tells me that Mlungu is a racist term, it amount to me using the term amkwenakwena. Btw Mlungu is listen in dictionataries as being white scum of the sea. So if you call me mlhungu I will 1-ignore you flat or 2-refer to you in your mother tongue as above.

  • @Smk01981

    A) Assuming that the woman is not from KZN, or is a Model C...I would refrain from taking her seriously in future if I were you. Gauteng Zulus and Model C Zulus know very little about Zulu the Language and the Culture.

    By the way, you need not take my word for it, last I checked there are few White Zulu Professors in UKZN and UNIZULU....might help if you confirm my explanation with them.

  • @Smk01981

    About Dictioneries, again...another Fable..I have since gotten hold of two Different Zulu-English Dictioneries...such a defination does not exist in them....bothe in fact do not explain the origins of the word explicitly like I did, one just does not do it at all and the other one tries but comes short to giving a full picture

  • @soundslikedeathvox - SIr/madam - you are wrong - "Mulungu" does not mean "White scum that floats on top of the sea in rough weather" - it is more a descriptive word referring to people of european ancestry and a typically higher economic bracket. In fact some people even ascribe it a magical quality - as if these people had special magical powers. But I agree with you that this is a commentary on dignity. Having said that - there are chancers too.

  • haha mulungu------white

  • you have to be south african to understand this clip. that is all

  • What a klomp KAK

  • Couldn't understand a word.

  • @superstormj well thats surprising considering your country of origin....

  • @flabble235

    Get a life.

  • @superstormj im scottish and i can understand every word. how about you become more tolerant of other nations and stop being a stereotypical ignorant american?

  • @flabble235 How about you stop being a fucking retard. I said I could not understand him, and that makes me intolerant? Fucking imbecile.

  • @superstormj you... are calling me an imbecile. that's rich. you were the one going "hurrrrr i dnt understnd!"

  • ? Im with you on this one glovefet, I'm a NZder...

  • @LEWS2000: It was obviously a skit albeit very dark humour.

  • typical day in South Africa.I should know x)

  • Is this serious or is it a joke? Thanks for the explanation of the zulu language. I'm an Australian

  • i would have done the same, how can i work for u and you dot pay me, this ad actually show the reality of south africa....

  • dankie mlungu and voetsek trololol

  • wtf is a mlungu

  • @CorusSasori Mlungu means white person in Zulu

  • @CorusSasori

    Umlungu is a white person. It literally means 'a person who does magic' in Zulu,

  • @Synesthesias u speak zulu?

  • @Synesthesias u speak zulu?

  • @katy6401 i think it is skit mate 

  • chungana spogopoog because both black and white in south africa  listen with the skin......

  • Very funny is a scary way. I hated Apartheid.

  • Mlungu or Mundele/Shindele is the White Man whose ancestors came from Netherlands. They came here in 1652, De la Rey fought in the Basotho War of 1865 and Sekhukhune's War of 1876. Ons vra asb dat vir net vrede en gehoorsaamheid met mekaar. Hey it looks likes that & sounds like that but is not like that ok.

  • The African brother said that he watched the white duds car for him the whole night & day so he needed 2 get payed cash in return.

  • @53Africa

    Lol African brother... and that's not what he said you kwere kwere.

    You would have to know SA life/culture to really get this.

  • there used to be this crazy guy at an intersection in PE, and he dressed like a female prostitue and used to dance and stuff. and he only wanted R2 coins. anythin els he would turn down. and sumday a guy refused to give him money and this oke actually pulled the drivers son out of the car thru the back window and gave him a hiding. haha

  • lol wtf...good one though

  • nice joke ha ha ha

  • I thought that was good

    

  • I thought that was good

  • fucked up to say the least, makes me dislike people like this even more!!! Fucking black sod.

  • is this not comedy?

  • all he had to do was give de guy a coin but mlungu listens with the skin. ha ha ha!!

  • i dont knw whats the problem here , ts just comedy pple . personally i really enjoyed it

  • I am South African and to be honest that was just silly. It took the worst stereo-types out of both black and white saffas and wasnt that funny. But that is what makes us different from other African countries, we can do things like that without fear of getting locked up.

  • i have 20 mulungu......lol

  • lol, if people cannot tell this is fake as hell, then they are either retarded or autistic.

  • lmao , all you foreigners are so freakin funny . i mean , this is a prank , and why would they film it on tv without reporting it .. i mean , if this was real ... then they wouldnt even show it on tv .. lol that couple would be dead by know .. hahahah ( even though that wouldnt be a laughing matter) 0..0 SO ALL YOU NON SOUTH AFRICANS . take a chill pill

  • Whoever takes this serious is a dumbass

  • THA MY NIGGA !!! FUCK THAT FAT ASS WHITE BOY

  • THIS VIDEO IS A PRANK. IT HAS WELL KNOWN SA COMEDIANS IN IT. Duh ! This is not real. Look up sa comedy jam. It is funny how all of you think it's real though. Only south africans can see the humour in this video.

  • @Arc777ane I'm Canadian and I didn't think this was real lol...

  • u should have shot that racist gay,u take care of his car n he calls u bastard

  • looks like Melville

  • you idiots it was from a south african comedy show called the Pure Monate Show!

    best skit show we ever had! (SNL for south africa)

  • this is a slice of some stupid tv series and you guys are taking it for real? dumb asses.

  • Youve gotto love the carwatchman hes soo funeh:):):)

  • Unfortunately in real life in SA you'd be shot.....

  • If the "actors" in the movie had been better this may have been believable.

  • @fukumimisohoni wow kid u dnt even make sense first u say blks shudda been put in there own place (which they were dumbcracker) n now u say so fucking what? wtfuck r u sayiinn dude go back to spanking your 1 inch monkey while fuck your mom n i rub my cum all over ur sisters face wit my foot dick bitcchh...ape shit on uu biiatcchh i gotta say tho white girls r the bestt omg!! !! i hope it makes you feel good tht your white sisters love my dick n i love fucking those fucking whores too haha fag

  • @fukumimisohoni wtf r u saying u dnt even make any sense. blacks weree in their own peice of land (Africa). till u pieces of shits showe up fucked up everything. u guys brught the misery fagget

  • fucking hell this is fake look at the sabc logo at the top of the screen

  • I don't know about SA but in my country they expect you to pay in advance! so if you refuse to pay then mysteriously something bad would happen to your car! a crack on window, scratch on door, a flat tyre,...etc.

    If there there is chaos you better buy your way out, thats the cheapest option I guess.

  • @danjorgen this is fake but in real life this does happen random people (usually black and drunk sounding) look after your car with out you knowing and then ask for money

  • that dudes a comedian for all the overseas guys that dont know....its just a joke.....yoh

  • was this comedy?

  • @lacocorocha Yeah

  • The white guy is a local comedian and is on T.V. ads and comedy shows all the time. This is clearly a bit of comedy, admittedly a bit lame and in poor taste, but that's all. The car guards are mostly nice guys just trying to make a few bucks, I always give them something, they provide a valuable service and can make enough to live on this way.

    It would be great if everyone could have a well paid job, unfortunately S.A. is overpopulated and there is not enough resources, and no quick fix.

  • great clip

  • So... are people here seriously debating the rights and wrongs of the actors i a comedy sketch?

    Why is that woman dressed as Jesus of Nazareth?

  • What's that famous saying? "Don't give up your day jobs, guys":))

  • wtf!

    'Apartheid' means 'seperateness'.

    So that's exactly what happened - black people were 'repositioned'.And if they tried to be in places they were not supposed to be, then 'groot kak' (the dompas,whites only benches). And who has the right to 'reposition' anyway?!To say who can/can't mix. I know Youtube is great - but for the love of SA - READ A HISTORY BOOK!! And try calling 'blacks' 'black PEOPLE' instead, you could share your human right to freedom of movement more easily.

  • @purpledoorable history books? hmm right who spilt their blood? and who won the wars?

  • Obviously a joke, but quite funny. South Africa is such a colourful place. Most people are really nice, no matter what colour or race. Mandela laid the foundation, we only need to build: black, white, coloured, indian, etc. all of us together!

    Viva South Africa!

  • lol yea its only a sketch or sumthin :s

  • guys obveously that was all a set up. the different camera views and all i mean come on.. its all a joke. see the funny side and lighten up.

  • my mother doesnt call me a lazy bastard oooooo im not a car thief lol

  • That was supposed to be funny?!?

  • not funny

  • This view illustrates white attitudes we face everyday in this country. In this video it's a car guard, but even black professionals get the same humiliation in workplaces. Even a white illiterate thinks he is better than a black graduate.

  • Goddamn nigra only watching cars.

    Work is doing shit, not watching shit.

  • This is comedy? What a fucked up country where this passes as funny

  • @kennycanary - Welcome to SA - where comedy usually revolves around race and crime. Haha gotta love this land

  • where's the comedy?

  • bwakakakakaka...hola !!! nw thts wts poppin he dnt wnt ur car his after th paper 4sho!!!

  • this is funny?

  • Now thats the sort of guy you want guarding your car, at least he can shoot anyone stealing it.

  • ths is COMEDY people not Politics,hahahaha!,.i think u on the wrong site..

  • @segobaetso But it's not funny.

  • mlungu...muzungu, mundele ....as european call us negros, in they language

    we call them muzungu ...when they call us niger,niga,..we call them..umlungu...

  • Sad I didnt see this on TV, its very funny! Of course only if you are South African!

  • @skl007 I'm South African, its not funny.

  • Why doesn't everyone who insults my coutry, South Africa, get their facts straight, because if they don't come from here they have no idea what it is like. Corruption and poverty was not born in Africa, we did not invent guns. Culture and love for the nature was born here. I hate racists and people who THINK they know everything.

  • thunderkills300 you dont have a clue what your talking about!!!!South Africa is not that bad as you think but then agian you sound thick thinking for you must be hard next time if you want to diss a country rather dont you idiot!I am proudly South African!

  • Malungo/umlungo: Means white rat from the sea it is as racist as calling a black a kaffir.

  • who ever told you that..lied! umlungu is a basterdization of the word "umlumbi" which is archaic Zulu for "magician" which is a word given to white people by zulus due to what they saw as being "magic" perfomed by the first white people...it was things like Western Madicine ( a case in point would be when the white doctor realized that a young girl who was ready to be buried was infact in a comma and resuscitated her)

  • ....cont...

    also things like Guns, machinery etc..these were seen as "magic" hence the name "abelumbi" which later got basterdised to "abelungu"!

  • i was always told it meant foreigner/visitor

  • hahaha i miss the sa ads

  • malungo that is as bad as calling a black a kaffir.

  • This is a clip from a comedy show on local TV "The Pure Monate Show". That was my favorite.

  • Only South Africans will get the joke, funny very funny... I love this country

  • Stupid video.

  • It isn't even funny.

  • Maybe not for you sa is corrupt if you dont carry a gun you are screwed in cape town

  • if u not from south africa u obviously wont get the video unless ur a person witha sence ov humar...!!

  • Oh my gosh this is hilarious! Love it!

  • hahaha pretty funny.. expecially when you can relate to what is happening..

  • Mlungu listeans with a skin LMAO hahaha

  • The best !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • mlungu - white man

  • dumb vid, wasn't even funny. supposed to be hilarious? on what planet???

  • CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME PLEASE, i COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR WERE SAYING... with all that lungo lungo thing

  • In South Africa you often find people who guard your car and hope for a tip for the service, the driver disagrees with this. When the car attendant pulls a gun, the driver thinks he will steal his car but all he wanted was a few Rand as a tip.

    I'm not sure what lungu means, but sometimes he refers to himself as that as well as the driver so perhaps it's just a word for 'mate', 'man', 'dude' etc..

    Voetsek means f.uck off though, I know that much.

  • mlungu means white. change for Tiger(R10)

  • brilliant! especially the last sentence....

  • Brilliant!

  • superb lol

  • Mkeze! Change for a tiger! Lmao.

  • Clearly South African made video.

  • Thank fuck i dont live in that Shit hole anymore!

  • "you give people in this country a bad name," So funny!

  • Stupid fokken video

  • You uneducated people, all of you!! Umlungu is the Zulu word for white person exactly like the word for a black person is umuntu. En my ou maat van Witbank af, jy is maar net a fokken wit KONT!!

  • haha i cnt believe people r arguing over a sketch...+ drevil5001 is right umlungu is a derogatory term 4 white people itd b like talking 2 a blk guy & constantly calling him kaffir or nigger its part of the irony of the sketch.

  • true unity between all ppl be colour blind if it comes to that we don need hate racism ther eis enuff already .....respekt each other..period aiiit xna si dingi

  • I agree with you completely. The guard was the most wrong. Respect for human life and integrity above all things.

    Maybe to help you understand why I may have misjudged quickly, it hurts being stereotyped and looked down upon.

    In any case. we need to unite.

  • the white guy does give south afrika a bad name.

    It would have played out differently, i figure, if he had just said, "i cant give you any money", gotten in his car and driven off. The way you talk to a person is important. there was no need to call him a lazy bastard.

    that is how situations escalate into something bad like what could have happened here.

  • I agree with u...the white guy shouldnt have called the guard a "lazy bastard" BUT on the other hand, why was the guard going to resort to violence? I mean in many situations that gun probably would have been shot...I know this is just a video but if this was real this white man can be considered VERY lucky. I know he insulted the guard but the reason I say so is because I read so many stories of people shooting another just for a celphone even when the victim is unarmed or an old person.

  • @rasenyai You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Firstly that's a South African comedy on a BLACK tv channel. The black car guard is saying "umlungu" which is a racist term against white people... so how is the "white guy giving a bad name". They way you talk to a person should include not using rascist words in the first place.

  • @ZellD nononono my friend umlungu is not a racist name,is a way of saying rich man,which unfortunately in life most rich people were...white people,Is a kasi name which even now is actually used to rfer to such people who hold loads of cash and have a very comfortable life in their lifes....

  • @87Teabag hosile its the same i drop the k word....stop living in the past....the problem is all the blacks are powertrippin....everything that lives has to die sometime.........

  • @ZellD mlungu isn't racist

  • @rasenyai well since you think you know everything - do you know what the black man is calling the white man? mlungu is a racist term for.

  • @rasenyai Yeah right. And the black guy with a gun gives South Africa a good name? Idiot.

  • @rasenyai he almost got shot for that rasist remark just give the guy 5rand n no war had he driven off he was going to get killed thus why these guys have guns, they guard yo car all nite n then u call him bastard

  • @rasenyai how can the white give SA a bad name? were you born yesterday??? if whites wern't living in SA it would have ended up as bad as Zimbabwe... he took a gun out on the guy who was sharing his opinion about the average black person on the streets asking for money.. he who drew the gun is giving SA a bad name... duh common sence

  • Funny, you do know Muslims refer to Kaffirs all the time, right? Any non-Muslim is a Kaffir - an infidel.

  • An infidel inturn is anyone who does not believe or follow your religion, any religion, so that makes everyone in the world an infidel, because the other religions declare it lol.

  • Here in Witbank we enjoy slashing your fucking necks open and shoving our fingers into your arteries while you choke to death on your own blood you filthy KAFFERS.

  • i doubt you will have much to enjoy in hell.

  • y r da white folks dressed in robes?!?!?

  • hahah i liked this

  • Sounds like that black man is stoned lol.

  • lol i think he is, i would take the car! besides this bastard got what he deserved, these guys watch our cars, and protect them, at least give him 5 rand if not 10

  • Comment removed

  • sooo funny

  • Umlungu is white person in Zulu and Xhosa...

    How fucking racist are these commericals!

    OMFG!!

  • what is racist abt 'umlungu' ?

    and this is not a commercial !!!!

  • What is racist about "kaffir" then?

  • "umlungu' is not used to demean or insult...its just A name, originn being "umlumbi"..(he who perfoms Magic), surely there is no insult there!...Kaffir on the other hand, while the Origin was not meant to demean or insult but thats excactly what it is used for!

    Word are not like mathematics or Numbers, there is Always the implicit meaning hidden behind the Explicit one!

    So ja, Kaffir is racist, umlungu is not!

  • Mlungu also refers to that white scum you see on the waves on the ocean. That is where the derogatory meaning comes from. It is not always used that way but if a white guy walks through a township you will hear the people referring to him as an umlungu. The aggression in their tone shows it can be used as a racist term.

  • Sea scum?, ahh I have heard that one before, take it from me....it's bull shit!, totaly made up (the definition) by blacks, particularly zulu speakers so as to counter "Kaffir"

    "umlungu" as I have stated is the basterdisation of "uMlumbi", (he who perfoms Magic), [continued]

  • LOL. Blacks always go to great lengths to explain why their derogatory words are not racist but as soon as they hear the word kaffir (which also stems from a non racist meaning) they are up in arms.

    And the "sea scum" meaning is pretty much common knowledge so there must be some truth to it.

  • no, its totally made up, and that's a fact!!, how do I know?.....the prefix 'um-' is only used for words describing people only!, ie preserved for humans!

    Yes, I have already aknowledged that kaffir has 'non derigotory' origins, but it's meaning got corrupted through the centuries!

  • Regardless, it is still often used as an offensive term. Just like "kaffir".

    Why not just use the actual translation for "white" like they do when referring to "black".

  • ja, I hear you, but then its a bit long, and cumbersome for everyday speech sasying "umlungu" is a lot shorter than saying " umuntu omhlophe" (white person) saying 'whites' in Zulu does not make much sense when directly translated, you can't just say " abamhlophe".

    and also you must remember that 'colour coding' is foreign to african 'nomenclature'...we thend to come up with names for foreign people, the colour thing was fully imported by Africans

  • And yet when blacks refer to other blacks they will say "black man" the long way.

    My point is that it makes no sense for blacks to complain when whites use generalisations for all blacks like "kaffir", but then see no problem when they do the same thing with the word umlungu.

  • a word is only offensive if you put it in context, if you mean it to be offensive. any word is offensive if you use it with mal-intent. otherwise, words are just words.

  • .....it comes from the first encounters of the Nguni people with white ppl, since their (whites) ways , in Medicine, cooking, combat etc all seemed like magic to the Ngunis, hence they were refered to as abelumbi (plural) ...then through the years the word became " abelungu"

  • what is a lungu?

  • I am a white south african and I thaught that was funny......ha ha

  • Ah, Pure Monate Show. Genius.

  • thats the shit

  • lmfao !!!HAHAHHAHA omg this is so funny ''you give the country a bad name'' vomgee i love that part

  • hahaha

  • ha ha ha ha ha

  • haha haah haah is so funny man ag i feel for the poor car guard. even gives exact change hahahhhahahh its brilliiant
