Harare 2010. Zimbabwe. my beautiful country, still a gem.pt1

[raiderrow]

What an awesome video, thank you. Had tears in my eyes, missing home and Daughtry go well together. Haven't been home in 13 years so you definitely made the homesickness kick in.

[EXT109]

Poor people live there

[lawrencestoke]

Fantastic video!

[bangbangproductions1]

I'm a Malaysian born Indian and my girl is from Zim. We've both been in Australia for most our lives and we're planning to head over to Zimbabwe at the end of this year. Thank you for your video, I can't wait to visit. If your country is as beautiful as every Zimbabwean person and family that I've met, then I know I'll have a fantastic time!

God bless!

[rugare02]

i mis harare amana,muna robert mugabe umo!

[willieliberty]

This is a very majestic video. How I miss home...

[MissJay1305]

@willieliberty im honored

[53Africa]

@willieliberty&MissJay1305 is nice to be guest but home is always the best!

Zimbabwe: West Must Remove Sanctions - coz the inclusive Government has the potential to foster Zimbabwe's development,but for this to succeed, the West must immediately lift all illegal sanctions on the Great Mutapa Empire of Zim

[edgeGabe]

@53Africa I watched this video and I am a ex Zimbabwean. Very ex I was 9 when we left. I loved it as I started seeing buildings I remember. Thank you miss Jay. Last of all lets stop using words like black and white

[willnlite]

Thanx MissJay u did a great job on ur videos. Please do upload your next visit. Tinombopedza shungu, thanx so much!

[MissJay1305]

@willnlite thanx i will do

[taleeni]

It's so clean. Looks cleaner than half the cities in North America.

[yay17793]

@ihateusernames302 the brits didn`t built that modern City dear friend the brits left that country in 1980 after Independence ,so there is no way this modern city could have been built by the brits. We all here know the most corrupt place on earth don`t lie to yourself.

[Wachenuka]

Is that little girl pocking her nose and eating her snort on 1:14? lol!

[tprdfh51]

MissJay1305 the last time I flew into Zimbabwe was in an Air Rhodesia Viscount airliner as we spiralled down into Salisbury Airfield blacked out due to the threat of SAM 7 missile attacks...god how I wish your country will become a jewel of Africa once again!

[nyahaka]

@improbsbaked we really dnt need many pple to cum lve in our country too. thats why u see we dnt hve traffic jams coz we are not too much to handle

[Teqo7]

Is there slums in Harare?

[thicarpel]

Hello, I´m from Brazil and I´m reading a book written by a Brazilian journalist. He travelled across some southeastern countries of Africa, like Zimbabwe, and he was talking about Harare.. So, I decided to take a look at this town thru the youtube. It seems to be a very well organized city! I really liked that! No traffic jam! Some very nice buildings... congratulations and a big hug from Brazil!

[MissJay1305]

@thicarpel thanks, im visiting brazil in the near future

[JohnRhysMusician]

@MissJay1305 How is that a wrong thing to say? Mugabe's Zimbabwe is an epic failure.

[MissJay1305]

@JohnRhysMusician hi there,i believe that's your opinion; chances are its part based on the western govt's rhetoric spewed out through the biased media texts. Maybe your definition of Failure and how it came about about would be a good start to this promisingly civilized conversation.

[heaty007]

@thicarpel I am going to Brazil for the world cup. I love Brazilian people you are always very kind. thank you.

[MegaGlont]

@thicarpel number 10, on the list of The dangerous places to travel

[elvzish]

@improbsbaked i dont blame u coz thts wht the media u rely on tells u. Politics is defined by propaganda and using the media to tarnish the image of any enemy country. I wld urge u, if u can, to visit countires n see for yoself wht othr countries r like. Thts the whole reason behind those guys who spend their time and money touring several countries...They get first hand info rather than distorted info tht comes thru the media. Zim is very beautiful n serene, beliv u me, u shld visit

[MissJay1305]

@elvzish well said..thank you

[MissJay1305]

@improbsbaked what a nescient rational, im surprised you didnt youtube mogadishu or kabul, where the crime rate is zero, free for all health service & ied free zone. yoh source is the eiu, an american org- a country well known for gud judgement, impartiality, best healthcare and debt free.a medium like utube is meant to enlighten information challenged persons like u, who thrive on co-op bs.research then maybe every1 on here will take you seriously. btw its Zimbabwe not rhodesia.

[improbsbaked]

@MissJay1305 ehh i heard they stopped trash pick up services in certain parts, and the government is Corrupt? I don't see the appeal, Please change my mind.

[SuperTinock]

i lk it but u could have put a local song for the soundtrack,

[MissJay1305]

@SuperTinock.. i kno what you mean, i will in my next videos. i just cldnt get a local song that cld describe my feelings. suggestions for next time please: i off to zimbabwe in november.

[SuperTinock]

@MissJay1305 i suggest u put in such songs as the one by Bonnie Deuschle & Henry Olonga, tht goes something lk... 'this land our land is our Zmbabwe our land of peace for u & me.... once born in pain 7& in segregation bt nw we live in harmony....nw flies our flag our nations glory...blaa blaa blaa'

[elvzish]

i really dig ths video, ko part 2 iri kupi...???

[MissJay1305]

@elvzish thanx, part 2 iripo....juss check my videos. i jus aquired a red cam, its gonna be full blown, full hd zimbabwean beauty.

[zimdancehall1209]

this is the real Zim thanx for this wonderful video

[MissJay1305]

@zimdancehall1209 thanx for watchin.really appreciate yoh support

[farooqmm1987]

zimbabwe is a great country! amazing people!

[chairmanofrussia]

lol ur tailgating the truck xP

[chakazulu4]

Thank so muchfor posting this video.Its makes me emotional sincehavent been home for 16years. The drive down Julias Nyerere is brings back memories when I used to walk the same street as a young man.

My trip home is not too far.

[frombelair]

that`s not what we see here in the west on TV, we see naked people all dusty eating raw lion meat....

[chairmanofrussia]

@frombelair because ummmm its called the "media" first of all, and second of all its called the "western media" the media shows all the exciting bad stuff...they don't show the peaceful stuff xD

[imhossein]

thanx for showing me home  I do miss home can't wait when I get back...............

[MissJay1305]

@imhossein - you r welcome. dnt worry bout being a lil behind when u go home, going online on your mobile or laptop is 3x cheaper than in most developed countries, 5* restaurants and accomodation, zim is good.

[fdama]

Harare looks quite developed. Pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be a shithole as they always show the bad parts on TV.

[MissJay1305]

@fdama - its looking better than ever, clean and vibrant. thanx for viewing my vid

[moseed95]

true zim looks good. im going back in july 2011

[MissJay1305]

@moseed95 - im off inseptember

[goldenismonica]

that is the best song for this video

[MissJay1305]

@goldenismonica - thanx, it says it all

[babycee303]

i was suprised zim airline has never crushed a plane but wa sit ever a shaky flight

[pdxeddie1111]

shoot if I was a native from there living somewhere like europe or US id be scraping cash together and wait for administration change cause a lil bit of real money will go a long way there and the country will need smart daring capitalistic entrepreneurs to help get the economy moving again. Those with vision could probably change that place into a wealthy, free and great nation.

[MrThumblewaddle]

I liked everything about this video except the music.....Vid brought back memories, I haven't been to Zim since '94

[Shazgi]

Doesn't look bad at all looks clean as for such a poor country that the media makes it out to be

[kenlove32]

@SharolaidHomeVideo Does race matter, i thought we united

[smokeyard1]

Damn i miss zim

[aduniaa2]

This is really beautiful place MissJay. My man is from Harare and he want to take me there one day. I bet it will be even more incredible to see with my own eyes.. Fantastic vid.

[TheCHARGER426]

These videos brought tears to my eyes Miss jay1305, i miss home so very much and have been away for 11 years now. I hope to visit soon. It's still a beautiful country.

[MissJay1305]

thanx pinker1, I'm glad u enjoyed it

[pinker1]

big up miss jay nice vid

[trustjnr]

i see you speak shona , wats the name of the song starting at 4:20 , miss zimbabwe a lot but sigh

[MissJay1305]

@trustjnr , the song is Lose contro-Timbaland feat jojo. if you ONLY look @ zim on a political perspective then u wont go back to visit. but once u get on the ground, among the people, the nature, the food & amazing beauty that surrounds you, you will get a new meaning.

[BabaZonge]

@MissJay1305 It might be safe for you to go back because you're black and you speak shona. But for those whites and indians who grew up in zim, things arent the same for us. We have to pay bribes at the airport, when walk in the street, people look at us funny. I think it's safer for us to stay in the UK/aus and just reminisce about the good old days, instead of actually going back.

[FCA1975]

@BabaZonge That sounds like a case of walking a mile on someone else's shoes. Look at all the crap black people have and still do go through in the US.

[boomslang1]

@BabaZonge A very unfortunate misconception and generalization my friend. I was in Zimbabwe last month to attend the Harare International Festival of Arts and NONE of things you claim here happened to me. Zimbabweans of all races are as pleasant as ever, whites mingle freely with blacks, I did my shopping at Arundel village and Borrowdale Brook where almost all whites in Harare are now congregated and not a single one of them (who actually live there by the way) expressed any fears. LIAR!

[higHgradeH]

Zim is number1 and always will be for me!! Thanks for posting yo vid...mines coming soon i havent had time to finish editing lol. But im really sick of all these people making political comments when they have no clue whats really going on. Do your own research people....watching the news will never give u any qualification

[fixzimbabwe]

Harare seems OK. A promising look on a nation trying to get back on its feet?

If 2011 is kind to us, Mugarbage will contract AIDS and a new chapter can be written.

[MissJay1305]

@justtakeiteasy ...thank u, having left zimbabwe as a teenager, going back opened my eyes to what a beauty my country is, friendly, kind and happy people all around

[MissJay1305]

Thanx everyone for viewing my video, part 3, countryside is cumin up shortly & the amazing resorts.

[Shebele]

Excellent Ethiopian Airlines landing smooth at Harare International Airport. Harare looks nice, I would love to visit Harare and Johannesburg.

[TheBlackRite]

I cant wait to visit and eventually move to Zimbabwe! Im a black man presently residing in the united snakes of amerikkka and have never been to the soil of my holy forefathers and foremothers. WHen i repatriate i know i will feel the spiritual connection that was lost to all of us diaspora blacks.

[sanyogreen]

l miss home ,next will be

[MusicIsLyfeeX]

Oh how i miss my home :'( Everytime i go back, i wish i could just stay there, and never leave, its such a beautiful place. I have to go there at least once a year, otherwise there feels like there has been a huge whole torn out of my heart. Thanks for sharing, its really appreciated.

[Grangoddessa]

thank you for taking me to zimbabwe with you :)

[crisieroxs]

I miss home honestly can't wait to visit and wants the name of the song

[mrperson296]

Pretty nice for a 3rd world country...

[mappajarungi]

I love this city, Harare. Beautiful.. amazing..

[bingwason]

Nice vid, but it was a bit disrespectful not to let the two pedestrians cross the road at 2:21.

[runganomahuni]

@MissJay1305,i recognised it coz i snapped it tooo,lol

[lilrog0909]

the music sucks but the nice video... Can't get a feel for Africa with this Euro music

[Vonthelion]

@lilrog0909 It's actually American music. I think it's nice :)

[Njuzu07]

I miss Zim, I was raised there :-)

[runganomahuni]

isnt tht blue dress wth polka dots from George

[MissJay1305]

@runganomahuni yes it is dear, got it on the sales for abt 2 quid lol...

[vchiwade]

@runganomahuni

Nice one! Home will always be the best

[sodiumandh2o]

Wow this place is beautiful! I'll admit, I really underestimated Africa.

[Irvindzimlaz]

oh my god thank you so much for the ride, i havent gone back home in a long tym n seeing this video i just felt like i was there in that plane landing home, thank you so much. Japan

[PeaceLoveing]

Glad to see it's still beautiful.

[coopertheduck]

I absolutely do my sis!!! Thank you very much for this video... It just brought back all the wonderful memories.. Harare, Zimbabwe...home...

A few more months and im gonna be home too...Counting the days down...

[MissJay1305]
