South Africa | Advert

[tintsap]

what's the song?

[jonnybigj]

in south africa the first day i was there i saw a dead guy

but besides that its a great place

[Brandybey]

Is this made by Americans.. need to know for my essay!

[JohnRhysMusician]

@Brandybey Probably, but I haven't been able to get any kind of response from South African Tourism. The United States controls a good 90% of the world's ad creation market.

[LilMissWh0]

I love South Africa, I've visited it many, many times and still want to see more. There is the risk of the crime but you just need to be careful , don't judge the country just because of the crime overall South Africa is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

[liamrokocoko]

You must have a death wish to go there. I feel so sorry for the guy who went to cape town on his honeymoon and his wife was raped and shot dead.

[JohnRhysMusician]

@liamrokocoko You just have to be careful and make sure that you frequent tourist friendly and safe locations. Never travel where you don't know exactly where you are going how you're getting there. Also, make sure you have a reputable guide when venturing into Townships and other locations you don't know.

[ricideo]

@liamrokocoko I FEEL YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL SORRY FOR HIM, AS THIS MAN... SHRIEN DEWANI ACTUALLY MURDERED HIS OWN WIFE ON HIS HONEYMOON. SO FOLLOW THE NEWS PLEASE. He has been extradited from the UK back to South Africa where he will now face charges of murder and life imprisonment. I AM A PORTUGUESE CITIZEN LIVING IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WOULD LIKE TO SAY IN MY 15 YEARS YEAR I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED CRIME.

[liamrokocoko]

@ricideo I do follow the news, my comment was 11 months ago.

Before shrien dewani was found out.....

[Bradlyhowland]

love this advert - it makes me proud to be South African.

[mazafuzle]

i love bien south african to but right now im not living there

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

I AM SOUTH AFRICAN!

I'M PROUD TO SAY SO AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON!

[JohnRhysMusician]

SA tries so hard to get Americans to come there, but many of your whites keep coming here. I wonder why?

[AUSSIENugget8]

@JohnRhysMusician been to both and yeah south africa shits all over america

[JohnRhysMusician]

@AUSSIENugget8 What do you mean? America and Canada get most of South Africa's productive citizens. Black South Africans don't come to the US, all of the whites come.

[WSWarthog]

@JohnRhysMusician

It's called white flight and Americans do the exact same thing. Except their country is nice and big so they don't need to leave the USA entirely to get away from the black people you pretend to treat with oh so much acceptance and tolerance.

[JohnRhysMusician]

@WSWarthog The black non-hispanic and white non-hispanic racial groups in the US are not growing proportions of US demography. Much racial/cultural animosity in the United States is directed at Muslims, Hispanics, and Southeast Asians, the latter two whom are growing rapidly and large numbers of whom are illegal. We don't really want any more black Africans in the US. The Afrikaners do just fine.

[JohnRhysMusician]

@DifangDuana More than 1/3 of the illegal aliens originated in Southeast Asia.

[bananashavanas]

i just feel that i have to go to south africa one day.. i know i so belong

[SarahLee1]

@bananashavanas That is exactly how I feel.

[sa8569]

i'm so proud to be a South African

[ettermagog]

fuck me... nice ad but what's the deal with "It's Possible" what is!!? havin a good time!!? Don't get me wrong... I'm South African, grew up in the Eastern Cape, but these bloody ads, I'm proudly South African blah blah blah!

This shit is getting old!

[VisualVishnuTV]

Mannnnn.........i wanna go to SA!!!

i jus love the place.....if only there was more racial equality!!!

[Piscesmann]

.. am packed!!! "honey, where's my after-shave...?"

[lmd2901]

Does anyone know where the place is at 30 seconds? I'm going to SA this summer and really want to go there!

[TcScarlet]

not sure exactly but it looks like somewhere in the North West Province or Limpopo province. The landscape looks like that in the Northen part of the Country

[NoGoodSonOfABitch]

Northern Cape - edge of the Khalahari

[manendran]

@lmd2901 if youre talking bout the animals its the kruger national park

[Discipal4goodmusic]

Yeah, it looks like the nothern part of the Kruger national park. Enjoy your trip to SA. Its the friendliest country in the world!!!

[theboyersclan]

there are many cultural villiages in South Africa. Most major centers have one.

[ngququ]

@lmd2901 am not sure, but looks like shakaland in durban, else lesedi village in johannesburg.

[TranCendenZ]

lmd2901: This tourism commercial is deceptive. S. Africa is one of the most dangerous places in the world. 33% of females are raped within one year. 25% of S. African males have raped at least once. S. Africa has the highest incidences of child and baby rape. Many Africans believe that they can get rid of the AIDS virus by raping virgins.

S. Africa has the second highest murder rates in the world, and they have the highest rates of rape. Robberies and carjackings happen frequently to tourists.

[purefaithfull]

@TranCendenZ wow i dont know which part of SA u 4rm....bt wer i'm 4rm, der are no such thingz as ''raping a virgin will eliminate AIDS'' or rapist...bt i will admit on robberies and carjackings. Still i dont get y u gotta exaggerate about dis...dis iz getting worse everywhere even here in UK stabbing and raping rates are going hire every year....so dont hate dude.

[TranCendenZ]

@purefaithfull: The information from my previous comment is from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, NationMaster, Childline (a child support group), MRC (Medical Research Council), The Guardian, and BBC News. They are factual statistics, and you can do a simple Google search to verify these facts. I can e-mail you further info if you request. Don't be misled by what you see in a tourism commercial.

I'm educating people about the risks of traveling to South Africa because I care.

[myhomelandSA]

i get shivers up my spine when i hear this advert. love my country.

[theboyersclan]

we love your country too.

[FlingwingGolfer]

They neglected a few numbers in this ad. How about '55 violent murdets a day' or '2nd in the world for murder per capita' or 'First for Gun violence' or 'Number One in Rape' or '5% conviction rate' or 'Number One for AIDS' and so on and so forth. Well produced add but misleading as hell. Come to South Africa and become a victim is what they SHOULD be warning tourists!

[ash104]

The title of the song is called "Its Possible in South Africa" good luck to anybody that can actually find it though

[bdubya99]

My heart goes out to all the poor Saffies who had to leave because of the problems. Now they're in Europe...that sucks!

[TheKawaiiKitteh]

I love being South African, and this makes me so proud!

[powerstaller]

@TheKawaiiKitteh I agree!!!!!

[MrGazza1000]

i get the biggest chill rush everytime i hear this advert, would love to know who does it, especially this remix!!

[bikram0545]

comon man some one got to know who sang it?

[SAbeautyfan]

Someone, please someone has to know who sings this version of the national anthem! I LOOOOOVE IT !!!!! It's so beautiful !

[rhettski999]

is that their anthem?

[SAbeautyfan]

Yea it's a particular version of the anthem. I even sent an email to the tourism board to find out who sings in the ad and they couldn't give an answer. I really wish I could find it. It's lovely

[degazi]

right..i also wrote them and can imagine who is sitting there by the pc..black guy..for sure..they will answer leter..really later:) i know it, because i lived there..but i dont mean it like to be racist..not at all..it just their character

[EikC]

I would go, but to be honest, I don't wanna be kidnapped or killed.

[zimbos88]

[rhettski999]
