A powerful message calling for South African unity, delivered by a citizen living abroad, resonated with social media users across the internet.
The viral clip was shared on TikTok by user @realgerhardtvdm, garnering 191K views, 18.8K likes, and 2,8K comments from viewers who shared the same sentiments.
The man living in China referenced the now-famous video of three Afrikaner men spontaneously dancing to Amapiano music. He argued that the universal and positive comments from all racial groups across the country served as definitive proof that South Africans love each other deep down inside, regardless of racial background.
The spirit of unity
He attributed the nation's ongoing racial conflict not to genuine hatred, but to ego and destructive political division. The man, TikTok user @realgerhardtvdm, urged all citizens to look past manufactured differences and adopt the spirit of “Siyafana” (we are the same). He emphasised that embracing this deep-seated unity would unlock the country’s true potential, making it an unstoppable global force.
