Excellent video on South african history. You did gloss over certain areas a bit but overall very concise. Thanks from zimbabwe.

I’ve been so excited for this! Was a great video! Though you should’ve delved into the more modern tensions in the country. Also I know I’ve asked this in the past, but would you consider making a series on regions in the world after you’ve done every country? Such as Siberia, Basque Country, Hawaii, the Canadian territories, Greenland, Tibet, and regions like that?

Fun fact: South Africa is also the only country, so far, to get rid of its own nucler arsenal. Now some would say that Ukraine is also in that category but their nukes were tehnically not Ukraine's but belonged to the Soviet Union. I have to mention this because im sure someone would mention it in reply
