  • This video was shot in Zimbabwe just after indendence in Bulawayo.

  • @haroonusmanpk: Of course you're not racist or anti-semitic. Why, I bet some of your best friends are jews, right?

    D-bag.

  • Glorious song. Sounds as good and fresh today as it did in the 80's. Johnny's pop sensibility is just superb and brilliantly melded with his homeland South African influences. I must admit this song is the first time this (46-year-old) Australian actually felt good about South Africa(and I know our history with regard to indigenous people is also nothing to crow about).Kudos to you Johnny and co..............

  • GREAT SINGER AND GREAT GROUP !! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING !!! I REMEMBER THIS SONG ..... EXCELLENT !

  • This seriously needs more views... SERIOUSLY!

  • Je crois que même les racistes devraient aimer cette chanson

  • Proud to be a Scatterling of Africa for almost 350 years! Give me hope Johanna! Love you all...

  • Très belle chanson, c'est bien de dénoncer l'appartheid en tant que blanc, mais Monsieur Clegg a peut-être oublié qu'il était juif et que les siens font autant (voir plus) de mal aux Palestiniens.

  • peu importe tes origines l'important c "est d'avancer tous vers le mm but !!! égalitée entre tout les peuples peux importe ta couleur ta religion tes origines............le passé sert à construire l'avenir et c'est au présent que tu construiras......la paix pour le future......à réfléchir....

  • If he's such an african lover why did he married a white woman?

  • @Eurydiceb You can't help who you fall in love with.

  • @Eurydiceb Perhaps he happened to fall in love with her?

  • j aime pa jadore

  • C'est triste de lire tous ces commentaires...

    J'ai agrandi avec la musique je Juluka, j'ai rencontré Johnnay Clegg à l'époque. En Namibie. Shame on all racists out there, I've seen enough.

  • il ,profite des africains de leur pays leur richesse et apres il disent cest magnifique de voir un zoulou blanc l aparteid continu en musique et pas que en afrique du sud arreter de vous croire superieur ca va tomber il y a que le bon dieux qui est superieur dans la terre et les cieux si vous aimez johnny cleg essayer de changer tous ca chacun a votre echelle la discrimination continu en france au usa et en palestine

  • Passei anos sem ouvir esta canção.. Quando encontrei na web há 3 anos não parei mais de ouvi-la!! ESPETACULAR.. Salve Johnny Clegg!! LOL LOL 

  • I thought Paul Simon invented African music.

  • @SerenaHasAcock

    African invented their own music, besides Africa is a continent not a country. Every rythm is different...

  • @mouila it was a joke :)

  • @mouila it was a joke :)

  • tout ceux qui n'apprécient pas cette vidéo, ne sont pas forcément raciste, c'est quoi ce commentaire?? et après on se demande pourquoi rien ne fonctionne dans ce pays??

  • tout ceux qui n'apprécients pas cette vidéo, c'est des sâles raçistes

  • entre le noir et le gris Jonathan n'as pas choisi il sait que les loups sont toujours blanc

  • Il est où mon Savuka?!!

  • 17 people got served by Johnny Clegg in a dance-off

  • 17 idiots !! leave earth !!

  • I swear there is truth in his songs.

  • Makes me want to go home...

  • Johnny- what a genius musician. And an an even better human being.

  • two walk as one ...

  • 2:53 n'essayez surtout pas de reproduire ce mouvement au risque de vous faire une brisette ;)

  • URGENT/IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE IN MY PROFILE...

  • Il est né en afrique du sud, ce n'est pas la couleur de peau qui fais la nationalité, c'est un africain !

  • @mypeople33 il est né en angleterre ;)

  • I LOVE Johnny Clegg! I'm looking for some new great african music, can someone help me??

  • one of my favorites song !!

    I like it so much

    When this song came out, i was 3 yrs old, in 1982

    Remember when i was little i use to watch this video on TV

  • @benfrom95140 Could have sworn it came out in the late 70s, but you'r right. And it's one of my favourites too. Always sends a shiver down my back when I listen to it.

  • Great video. Lovers of Africa will appreciate it. I grew up in Tanganyika, later Tanzania. My book, 'Speak Swahili, Dammit!' is doing well on Amazon, & as an Apple iBook & Kindle eBook. Short video on youtube, with original footage in the bush 1950's & 60's, under Speak Swahili, Dammit!

  • Sa fait du bien de re entendre l'époque :D:D

  • Johnny Clegg, the white zulu <3

  • @yumirihanna He is not a white man.He is a jew and jews are not white.It's a gross miscnception about clegg that he is white.In south africa and USA,jews are misrepresented as whites even though they do not have caucasian and nordic features.Look at clegg to start with.He has purely non caucasian features.No offense meant but that's the truth.(P.S.I am non white myself)

  • Comment removed

  • @haroonusmanpk Who cares about skin tone or whatever exteriority? This music is universally and globally wonderful. That's all that matters in my opinion :)

  • @p0531d0n I am not an anti - semite or a racist.I was just trying to remove a misconception about Clegg that people have and a misnomer that they have labelled on him i.e white zulu.That's totally incorrect.

  • @haroonusmanpk I was not assuming that, I didn't get you wrong. What I was trying to express is that people see him as what they want, it doesn't matter :)) To be correct, we should say that he's a "non-black" Zulu :)) This doesn't change a thing, believe me :D By the way, "white" doesn't mean caucasian to most people, it just mean not black- and not yellow- and not red-skinned, I'm pretty sure :)

  • So I am a scatterling now. All the way to the UK, but still remember watching this live at 'Maritzburg Varsity - free tequila's with your ticket......

  • The rainbobow nation is the best so prod to be south african miss my country :)

  • Just love Africa.....Lived in Europe and Scandinavia......but Africa oh Africa Just love you sooooooooooMuch and am back to stay!

  • One family on earth , from the roots come the leaves , the leaves fall to nourish the forth coming leaves. As one family we can bring harmonious change to the hearts of mankind alike , As the great creator intended, peace and love to all.

  • I see this song as a short history of ancient (and modern) humanity as the scientific evidence indicates in one song. I find it a very humane

    song that reminds us of our common heritage, and that it is up to us, looking clearly and compassionately at our past, to dream new and better dreams.

  • @lexinaut that's poetic! beautiful sentiment.

  • @spicycustard Hi and thanks! The road to commonsense is filled with ideological potholes to say the least. Johnny Clegg strikes deep with this song to the heart of our common humanity. If we look at the cave art from Chauvet Cave, for example (virtual tours are online), we can see more powerful evidence that we are all one, and need to feel that as well as know it in our minds.

  • @lexinaut Wow. great comment.

  • @osiruskat Thanks for the kind words. I work in education including Art/Music/Science/Math Fusion efforts, and I believe "Scatterlings of Africa" has profound educational value. I've been sending the link to this video along to other educators.

  • I am so Proud to be South African! I'd rather enjoy a walk in the Drakensberg, a beautiful sunset over the Bushveld and warm sun on my skin than go anywhere else in the world! It is the best feeling to arrive at O.R. Tambo International and the immigration officer tells you "welcome home" - I want to hug them every time.

  • as kid I remember watching johnny clegg. He is true african!!! it is not your skin colour that make you african but your beliefs> thumbs up clegg!!!

  • It reminds my best friend and I... Love you Olivier!

  • he grew up with sipo as a small boy and they were best friends.....this vid is not sa but skyes my town in zim..brilliant..

  • @sadza28 ....hey! im frm skyes origanally too bro....miss dem days....johnnys da man

  • Love this song, and love Johnny Clegg.

  • I just saw Johnny and his band perform in my hometown, and he's the man he always was. Still one of the greatest performers ever, his music full of love, hope and brotherhood. To have had a hand in the great changes that have taken place in his homeland must be a wonderful thing, and to see him again was a real pleasure. God bless Johnny Clegg and God bless Africa. Amandla Ngawetu!

  • vraiment quand je vois cet vidéo j'ai envie de pleurer avec ce qui arrive en Afrique. le présidente français qui décide de tout dans notre continent même si il n'est pas seul à faire ca!j'ai vraiment trop mal;-(

  • @cahuier0 Si ça ne te plait pas, tu y retournes et tu te sors les doigts du cul pour aider ton pays.

  • @crochu2005 c'est quoi ton problème??

  • I am proud to be Johnny's nephew, and I've been slowly uploading his entire discography to YouTube, including his rarest album, New World Survivor, which had a limited edition of 2000 autographed copies. Please show your support by subscribing to my channel and sharing the videos

  • love this guy! love the music! love the people from where it came! i used to visit south africa a lot and there is a spark and crackle in the air.

  • makes me think of the summer sun

  • Ridicules ces blancs qui se croient noirs ... mdr

  • @crochu2005

    Je dirais plutôt qu'entre le noir et le blanc, Johnny Clegg n'a pas choisi.

    Il est juste ce qu'on peut appeler un "great heart".

  • @Kleberson59 This is the BEST comment I have read about johnny Clegg. I love his music with a passion that has not abated in 25 years and I am excited to go see him live tomorrow night 05/07 here in Albuquerque NM...

  • @crochu2005 parcequ'il y a une différence ? et après on nous traite de raciste .. pf

  • @crochu2005 plus ridicules encores ces blacks qui se prennent pour des blancs

  • He is true african ! all human take to love this song

  • I miss home so much this took me back so many memory's, Africa never leaves you no matter what. Its my home even tho I have no house. Africa forever. A scatterling of Africa.

  • I am so proud to be African. After having lived and studying in Europe and hopefully the States to get my 2 masters degrees, I am going home and I am going to make sure that an african child has a better future than I will ever have...

  • Sympa moi je l'apprend en musique

  • Where is John Clegg?

  • I lived in Zimbabwe 19 years and now in England. I will never forget this place with the friendly African people. Stayed in one of the villages near Matopos. Its music haunts your very soul forever. I went back after 21 years and it was like the heavens opening up to me. I love this country.

  • LOVE YOU JOHNNY CLEGG... a true musician!!!!!!!

  • Johnny Clegg fought against the apartheid, against racism and segregation in South Africa. I respect him for that. There is only one thing that makes a stain: He's a Jew, and he never denounced the apartheid, racism and segregation in palestine.

  • @Bangthatass How does it work that you say it is great that he fought apartheid in SA and in the same vein you say it is wrong that he is a Jew. isnt that a bit contradictive?(and hypocritical)

  • @scambassador I think you didn't understand my comment. The problem isn't that he's a jew, the problem is that, as a jew and as a fighter against apartheid, he should have had denounced what israel does to palestinians. Thats all

  • Comment removed

  • super musique :D!

  • It's an african white Oo , but for me , it's a realy african ;)

  • Johnny Clegg is the white zulu that is why he's so good 

  • Wish I could have gone with my Father on one of his many trips to Africa and ZA. He is who introduced me to this music. One of these days I will make it there. RIP Pop's I hope you are enjoying the Bush and Hunting the big Game!

  • @ferfortwilliams where are you from ?

  • @Bonhage2 So sorry I am on You tube often, but I didn't notice my messages. I am from Oregon USA...and you?

  • Can you hear the AFRICA in that beat...woow... I am young, so proud to be African, and so determined to leave a better Africa when I pass...I love this land and its people to the very core of me

  • Johnny Clegg come to Canada!!! I love you and my countrymen/women will also!

  • this is shot partly in the matopos hills outside Bulawayo Zimbabwe... and the town part i knew well thats bulawayo city. brings back bitter sweet memories

  • this is shot partly in the matopos hills outside Bulawayo Zimbabwe... and the town part i knew well thats bulawayo city. brings back bitter sweet memories

  • to all people who are sayin south africa .This is actually a city called Bulawayo In the south western Part of Zimbabwe.

  • @tawandrew Clegg is South African, that's why South Africans are relating to the video...

  • Really good song.

    It remembers the 80's

    Johnny Clegg is incredible. I just want to discover South Africa when I see this movie clip.

    So good !

  • if you want piss the ultrareligious (fundimentalist) christians off. tell them we are all scatterings of africa. bends them no end.

  • @TheSandsie13 True what you say...cant say I really like the song..though its kind of catchy...and I suppose very politically correct etc....Yes he dances good...bloody flexible!!

  • Superbe Johnny Clegg !!!!!

    Pour une meilleure humanité

    entre autres ,

    savoir surmonter ses peurs de l'inconnu !!!!!!

  • "We are scatterlings of Africa... Both you and I... Each and everyone... Each uprooted one..."

  • the answer to your question is, the answers were already in side of you , before any question was asked,brother, seek inward not out , and there would be no need for questions. to master your true self, is to be truly free, then you can free others, it then becomes selfless not selfish, you then see what is true in the world, and others. until all of mankind can free themselves from slavery [modern world controlled by the select few ] all the best in your journey. bro

  • viva Afrika

  • clegg was the first white to put together a soweto band, it was illegal for blacks and whites to associate like he did. His first recordings were fought by the state, and he was beaten, shot at, etc. but he did it. Clegg will not give up, he wants equality in South Africa, and he is slowly changing the world. More power to him, i love what he does

  • @fubar50cat You uninformed misfit. have you ever set foot on african soil? Can you read? christ you write like an idiot.

  • @jimsouthafrica : just read a bio about him, it said the same thing fubar50cat wrote, well except for the beatings. the bio is not hard to find.

  • I love Johnny Clegg and Africa at all!!!

  • The sound is a bit dated now but the spirit is as strong as ever. I love the dancing as much as the music. The looks on the faces of the people watching, Brilliant Vid! Thank you!

  • I remember learning of Johnny and Juluka in the early '80's on the TV news of all places. Not on any music radio station! The story was about 3 black and 3 white South Afriacans playing musix together. Again this was before Neslon Mandella was freedand the fall of Apartheid. I had the good fortune of seeing then in NYC around this time. Such a joy!

  • love the dance. the song has a nice flow to it.

  • Never before have I seen a white man dance like this! He is true african. And the two dancing  together show perfectly, that black and white men can be real brothers.

  • @comradevinyl My friend we were ALWAYS BROTHERS & STILL ARE

  • @comradevinyl amen to that

  • @comradevinyl He's the son (or grandson, I forget which) of an African Cheiften.

  • @comradevinyl not in phladelphia lol the white guy wouldnt make out to well lol

  • @comradevinyl

    J.Klegg lives with his black brothers, speak her language(there is too many in South africa), but he really,all his life was, andhe is black:-) I can't speak, better:-) you have informatons on you tube, before15 years neve speak about him , I doon't know why?

    ---

  • @comradevinyl yes i have seen this video in the 80's and loved this dance from first time now i find again on tube after so many years and is still wonderfull

  • Proud to be a Scatterling!

  • I've been all over Europe (where I am supposed to descend from) and the whole time was like prison. I dreamt of home in the bushveld every night while hearing ambulances speeding by in Paris... I'll never be at home anywhere but in South Africa! No matter who hates me, who wants to kill me, what the problems are... I'd rather die here with my pride (and it's really not that bad as I'm making it sound) - I love my country and all its people.

  • @SouthAfricanify come back home then.

  • @lizza1984 I am in South Africa - will never go back to Europe.

  • @SouthAfricanify I know how you feal. i study in holland now but i must say i mis sa alot! I stil wat to bay me a farm just outside Rustenburg.

  • @Bonhage2 I come from that area. It is very beautiful with the Magaliesberg as background. Picturesque is not the word... I hope that one day when you return, you will use your knowledge to improve South Africa.

  • @SouthAfricanify

    South Africa is an illusion, it's a macro state founded on a fallacy and for economic expediency. All it has served to do since it's inception in 1910 is to marginalise the legitimate ethnic groups who already existed, from Bushmen to Boers to Brits to the Cape Dutch to Xhosas.

    The only way a racial balance of power will be acheived is for the respective nations there to be given autonomy.

  • @theporksicle

    As a South African, I take offense to your statement that South Africa(SA) is an illusion founded on a fallacy. SA is very REAL and despite a few remaining divisions from a bygone era, the "new" SA is founded on racial equality and a feeling of national unity .

    As for giving the "respective nations" of South Africa autonomy, we already tried that. It was called "apartheid" and it led to discrimination, oppression and conflict.

  • @avionrecce

    No, Apartheid was the epitome of this macro-state nonsense. It consisted of lumping scores of different groups into three, later four, crude categories- this was a disservice to patriots of all nations- whether Boers, Englishmen or Xhosas. Apartheid in no way involved granting the ethnic groups in the region autonomy, it was, as you rightly note, about oppression and it caused conflict.

    There is no cultural basis for SA, that was my point.

  • AFRIKA: continent of a few hundred different languages, many different ethnic groups and tribes and religions and traditions.

    The Afrikan continent is as diverse and clashes as much with itself as any continent on earth. Similarly with Asia. Many different racial, linguistic, religious and cultural types. People from Africa only pretent they are ''one'' when they live in Europe or America. Because they are naturally racist against white people. In Africa a Zulu has no time for, say, Nigerians.

  • No people are "naturally racist"

  • @lizza1984 No, people are not naturally racist, put two young children together from different cultures and who are different colours and they will play as equals. Racism can only be taught from one generation to the next, only by realizing we are all the same, rather then different, can we end racism.

  • @puddahcat I agree ! You must have misunderstood. When I said no people are "naturally racist" , I mean no one is "naturally racist"!

  • @lizza1984 sorry I misunderstood you, that's what happens when I post things late at night!

  • @puddahcat : racism is not just taught, it is learned by lifes experience, some are exposed to experiences others are not, we as humans are not all the same, how can you even say their is no difference between the races, and humans in general.

  • @mr1nutwonder the spirit of all mankind but comes from one ultimate source ,ungraspable to mans grasp, for fears are taught which causes weakness in the hearts of most, denials of truth, because they use their head and not the heart, those lost in the darkness need guidence, to know themselves better ,than knowing the world,hatred is the weakness.

  • @TheDaochi ; hey thats pretty good, but my question is, whats your point?

  • this is the Savuka version

  • Johnny and Nelson. great examples for world peace.

  • Nothing should be more powerful than watching the Zulu dance.. the day I see it live I might just cry! Most things related to Africa do make me cry.. my mother is from Angola, and maybe that's why.

  • Comment removed

  • What i so like about this song is its manly sounding or Masculinely sounding. Ye ummboo ham ye amboo ham. I'm gonna get on the sttreet one day and say Ye ummboo ham to every one i'll see.

  • I love the fusion of Southern African and European music. I would really like a few artists to experiment with Khoi-San music styles though. It goes much further back in time.

  • love like he loves

  • Tu es génial Johnny . Amitiés

  • I was South African for 16 years - Such a wonderful place and ALL its peoples!

    Unconquer, unconquerable, undefeated...

    Many thanks for posting

  • In France, Johnny Clegg and Savuka learned us more things about South Africa, and remember that we must not forget the people of the townships.

    And thanks to him I discovered the Zulu war dances :)

  • j adore cette vidéo , et johnny est très fort ,
