Everyone keeps on telling me that if you go to South Africa, you never go to Deban. Which means you've never been to South Africa. And when I got in here, I had a catastrophic news. This region hasn't seen rain like this in more than 60 years. 448 people are dead with dozens still missing. Recovery workers with dogs searching for bodies. 40,000 South Africans now displaced. More than 4,000 homes destroyed. And as Africans, on behalf of all Africans, we sympathize with the people of South Africa, especially the family that lost their loved ones. We have the money, we dig them up. Like I've always been preaching, one Africa, I believe that each and every African needs to be a brothers keeper. So coming to Deban, finding out what happened, I couldn't just sit, eat and enjoy the city of Deban without paying a visit to the people that lost their family members and people who also lost their homes. Where do you live now? I live in Montauk. You don't have a place to stay now. Sorry? You don't have a place to stay for your own. Literally, they became homileks. So I visited where they stay and we found out that they need food staffs. So myself and my brother, Tayo, went to do shopping for them. And it was the most beautiful thing I've ever done. Very nice. Thank you, guys. To cave it in, the land of the Zulu. You all are wondering why I came to Deban this time. I came here because of Africa travel in Darba. Which is the biggest tourism festival in the entire of Africa. During the opening of the festival, one of the speeches that really touched my heart was this one. We are more than the conflict that is raging in the Kivus in eastern Omo. We are more than what is happening in Kabul Delgato. We are more than the challenges in Eswati and Lesotho. We are much more than that. And we are at our best when we do something like this together. Say in Goma stress me. But I love it. Il di ke Goma last stress it. I'm definitely coming back to Goma. Can you say why organizing such event is important for your country? I mean, it makes everything comes to the country back again. Thank you. You know, it boosts the tourism. And also, you know, tourism boosts the economy. Yes. So I think Congo itself got a lot, but it need to do well in terms of attracting people. What am I? The son of Africa? I always have to say the truth. So I guess I need to show you that Derban is not what you think. You know, somebody wants to visit Derban for the first time and he doesn't know anything about Derban. What are you going to tell us about Derban? Listen, Derban is beautiful. Sunny, gorgeous people, friendly people, lovely climates and it's just a friendly city. And it's like, I feel like it's the core of Kizrin, the core of South Africa. It's the coastal line, of course, but the ocean here. What is Kizrin? Kizrin is the capital of Kizrin. So it's like the zulus are born and break here in Kizrin. I know you all are impressed and some of you are even surprised by the beauty of Derban. Listen, I know most of you when you hear South Africa, there are only two cities that comes into your mind which is Cape Town and Johannesburg. I just want to tell you that there is more to South Africa. Derban really surprised me. Listen, I want to tell you this. Let's do this for South Africans. A big round of applause for South Africans because I feel like in South Africa they've invested so much in infrastructures especially road connectivity within the country. What about the city of Derban? After being here for the first time I would say that this city is a world class city. I mean, a world class city is a world class infrastructure which means that this city can compete with any city in the world. I mean, what makes me say that when you come to Derban, they've got a world class stadium. One thing that really shocked me don't tell anybody in the city of Derban is the apartment that people live in. I mean, this apartment is a world class apartment. Listen, I've seen so many apartments in so many countries that I've been to but this was so unique. What makes it unique is the beautiful waterfront apartment. I mean, sometimes I tell you that you're not just buying a building but you buy its environment. The environment was filled with water. The environment was filled with trees. Oh my goodness. I mean, if you live in a place like that trust me, you will live longer. And I love the fact that in Derban they make the life of the people easier. When your apartment is here and your class mall is close to you how cool is that? I think it's time for me to buy an apartment in Derban because I want to live longer. Let me blow your mind about the city of Derban. It's so well developed especially the coastline. This is what I think my country can learn from. Don't tell me that what you're saying is not beautiful or don't tell me that what you're saying you're not super impressed we got all the coastline what are we doing to the coastline I think a country that I also saw that they developed their coastline was Namibia. So now I guess South Africa and Namibia would definitely be one of my favorite places to be. Thank you. Don't think I'm overreacting? I was just saying it like some days back the way the planning is done here is like everybody has access to this. So here they have different public beaches I just woke up from where I was and walked out of the beach saw a lot of people jogging they even had a boulevard and walked we were able to just walk and jog and if you're living in a place like that living in a city like this and having access to this kind of things your lifespan will be longer because you are getting to enjoy nature. Also another very interesting fact to notice is that at the coastline there's a way to plan the buildings each building has a view so if you're building at the front of the beach the next person building behind you has to build higher and then just higher higher so everybody gets a view of the beach which is really nice in Lagos you don't build like that I mean he's saying in Lagos you don't build like that but I also tell you that you don't build like that in Accra it's my first day out here I'm impressed on how organized this city is enough of me being too serious with you guys man, Delban is a whole vibe some of you are going to be mad for me saying this but I just want to tell you guys fun fact of what I've seen in Delban listen in this city if you have big bomb bomb I don't think it's going to be a biggest flex because from where I'm coming from and some of the countries that I've been to people with big bomb bomb become celebrities but here in Delban I'll say that 99.9% of the people that I'm seeing the women in here God bless South Africa God bless Delban God bless Africa thank you apart from the city being so modernized I feel like it's also diversified because when I got in here I realized that the people living in here are a mixture of black people Indians I mean to the standard I went to a place and I realized that even Mahatma Gandhi bought 100 acres of land in here and this is where he built his house it's they mentioned and then Gandhi came face to face with apartheid in this country he fought against racism division poverty and the plight of the Indians in 1903 land was advertised and then Gandhi decided to purchase that land and then he built that white house and named that house Sarvodaya the good of all now you know so I guess I need to educate you about the history of the city of Delban before I tell you more about Delban have you liked the video it's very important click on the like button subscribe if you are new to the channel thank you welcome to the city of Delban it's a city a warm city and a place to be Delban was founded in early 1820s by the British cyclists whom they formed that city because they wanted to make sure that the economy of the harbour stays within the city the first person to become the city mayor was Ser Benjamin Diebe and also one of the city planner of the city that's why even now we have started with the name Deben it's come from his name Diebe then the first first people who occupied the area before is also known as the city it was the Lala Pais and the Lutuli clan then the Lutuli clan were approached by the Portuguese who landed here in 1492 then the Portuguese when they were here they discovered the harbour they are the one who discovered the harbour by the person who was a navigator a ship navigator was called the Gamma then they stayed here it was the 25th of December of each is known as Christmas when they landed here then it's Natal that's why even now the entire province was called Natal specifically because of the name that they attacked first when they decided to rest here history time is over and travel to Asia told me that mayor enough of the history class it's time to have fun this is gonna be so cool I mean I'm not a big fan of surface but because of traveling I need to break that virginity I need to try doing things for the first time I went to Congo they gave me a horse and I'm like I would never ride it I was in Ghana they gave me a horse and I'm like I would never ride it bro Jesus block it's gonna be good man I'm so excited about this and I'm riding a bike with no license I mean you don't need a license to ride a bike but riding bicycle along the blue lagoon but this place is super organized they stand that there are bicycle lanes people also jog in here in the morning and in the evening and when you come very late in the night you see people riding meet right over there which is incredible it's like South Africa what I love about this place is that it's not just Johannesburg it's not just Pretoria it's not just like Cape Town wherever you go in South Africa and that makes me fall in love with this country and I hope that the rest of Africa will learn from this in terms of how to organize a city oh my goodness I was telling me that you cannot go to Japan without walking through the street of Point and I'm like it doesn't look like a point though but they call this place Point do you guys know why they call this place Point we don't know there's a secret about this there's a secret about Point man what is so special about Point man it's just like the nice place the safest place for foreigners I think laughing go ahead I think it's because it's the safest place for foreigners why is this the safest place for foreigners and if you need any African food any African things it's just like happening city around here in the sense of a lot of students everything is a busy town and they're going to snatch your phone from you you know they will take your phone from you we know they follow them they can take your phone from you so which means it's not that safe to walk through it's just like a ghetto it's like a ghetto look at it now it's just like everybody is just doing their own thing it's like a community that's how I actually see it everybody is minding their business even if you get it wrong what is minding their business what is going to help you even if you're in Nigeria no, we're going to fight for you no one is different and I can see booty too oh booty I asked for booty it's everywhere in South Africa
