Diversity in action
One of the things the clip highlights is just how diverse South Africa can be. The uniqueness doesn't just stop with the hair but trickles down to our cultural and racial landscape. They don't call the country the rainbow nation for nothing now. Stepping into major cities shows just how varied the people of the country are.

In recent years, more people abroad have begun spending more time in the country. Digital nomads can be a major pain when it comes to property rental increases but they do add to the rich cultural flavour of the country.
South Africans loved the little boy's hairstyle. Some commenters thought it was a calling while others jokingly theorised that the child would become rich.
