Suid-Afrikaners Oorsee: 'Waarom ons in die VSA wil bly'/ South Africans Abroad: 'Why We Want to Stay in the USA'

Episode Summary

In hierdie episode gesels Daniëlla met Wanya Du Preez, wat saam met haar gesin al byna ’n dekade in die VSA woon. Sy deel die uitdagings van aanpassing aan ’n nuwe kultuur, die belang van familie en vriendskappe, en hoe gemeenskap en geloof hulle deur moeilike tye gedra het. Ons praat oor die verskille tussen Suid-Afrika en Amerika – van veiligheid en geleenthede, tot die kos en tradisies wat sy nog altyd mis. Wanya vertel ook hoe haar kinders floreer in hul nuwe omgewing. Hierdie gesprek bou voort op verlede week se episode met Lenique Hutton, wat ná ’n paar jaar oorsee teruggekeer het Suid-Afrika toe. Twee stories, twee perspektiewe... sodat jy kan luister, leer, en dalk jou eie pad beter verstaan. In this episode, Daniëlla speaks with Wanya Du Preez, who has lived in the United States with her family for almost a decade. She shares the challenges of adapting to a new culture, the importance of family and friendships, and how community and faith carried them through difficult times. We talk about the differences between South Africa and America – from safety and opportunities, to the food and traditions she still misses. Wanya also explains how her children are thriving in their new environment, and how the journey has helped their family grow stronger. This conversation follows last week’s episode with Lenique Hutton, who returned to South Africa after living abroad. Two stories, two perspectives... so you can listen, learn, and perhaps see your own path more clearly. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z
