Ladies and gentlemen, we have found a man. That is Lawrence. Funny character in UK, gentlemen. Very good afternoon. I'm okay, man. How are you? Way? Have you don't get that, Jobbik, But it's not that bad. Video man will come to the 18,003 or found your voice your power on how? Yeah, you're the move. And, Jack. Dude, you made things happen last year, and I was so surprised that you're 22 who is already military now, who is Lauren's? According to its always pieces beside being defined by a lot of people as a a nation. United. So Lawrence is 23 year old, born in Bologna, Johannesburg, but moved around South Africa large between Cape Town and Johannesburg. More Lasky on, then Joburg spotted about a year and 1/2 ago, almost two years ago. I'm London about six months ago for an opportunity here that I couldn't necessarily get in Africa. So it's not like I ran away from South Africa. I issued an opportunity that I couldn't get into myself. Okay, so that is why I'm here. It's not like I abandoned the country just for me, Teo, for my dream trust me. We don't even feel like that because, I mean, you have been here by out by your spirit. Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely. Even Joburg. When people move about a lot of the people in South Africa which is so cool on the post that I did on job saying South African Sun, Africa will be a better place if what comment you're reading through those comments really made me feel so awesome. Thea's soul to save and go cheque it out. The people that really you get your negative people every now and again. But at the end of the day, it's a focus on the positive people that you focus on. You don't focus on the nerves. You focus on the Yeah, I did at my comment yesterday, and I think South Africa can be better if we have more multiracial marriages. Definitely, definitely. You see, the thing is, I mean, I don't I don't personally believe that we should totally ignore and be colorblind, I personally. But everyone should embrace our own colour and embrace like culture and learn how to love and with different cultures because you don't get a pack of Eminem. Who, what or sweet. Just in one colour. You buy the whole package with everyone and everyone loved sweets. You know what I mean? She not individually. We're always just say, all taste the same. But we're all just different colours. And that's the thing. That's a beauty on little Yeah, no one should be like, Yeah, we should be colour blind because not everyone is the same. I mean, if everyone at this time would be boring, would have left. Of course, everyone should love and embrace her own culture. And that's nice. Tell me about the idea off your page, Joe Big. I think it's not 18 2016. Yes, it started in 2016 hours. Hold on the car one day and I started Ah, Facebook page on. Then the whole movement of mine started when I just moved to London a few weeks after a month or two after I moved to London. After I see how differently people work with the coming year. I mean, people, they love their own culture and they love their own colour. But the thing is, people can still joke around. But you know what I mean? Because I work from people with Malaysia. I work from people with Donna. I work for people of India. I worked with people from the bowl where people from all different colours and races. And the thing is, everyone embraces their own culture. But everyone can make jokes about it. That is the about everyone. You know. That's very interesting. So let's get today's I mean, you guys are holding numbers of people, like whatever you say. About 270 people said, What do you think? Can't be the roll off you guys is bogus and colonies Anyone who's who has that much of a follower. In uniting a nation, You see, the thing is what I think everyone can do. It's a movement started because if every now you can't exactly tell everyone to do the same thing. But if someone starts, it's a mirroring effect. For example, if you walk in, you smile a time when someone else is gonna smile back. Now isn't one on that page. If they can start seeing the difference and stop racial tension, one could started doing when another one is going to spread to another person, you just sprayed and spread and spread one day will be we'll have a country where racism is a thing of the past. Obviously nothing can stop, can nothing and end 100% fully quite a majority off. Everyone will be getting along together. Everyone will be working together because I think the thing that everyone is focused on because they focused on the hatred in the past No one is no one in 1990 is born. No one has actually ever born racist the hatred that these people feel or the hatred that they were taught. So the youth can stick together and grow together as ah nation win, you get you. But then the social media is a tool. You have it in your hand. You have the intelligence of the people. Do you think everyone who has so much followers understand their role in nation building? I hope they understand. I hope that understand? Because that is what I'm creating. I can't go in our people what to do. I need to inspire them so that they can do the same. If you get what I mean. I get it. I don't like being really told what to do because they then South African instincts kick in. Or you can tell me what you have to tell me what to do. You know what I mean? A lot of South Africans can be like that. Like you can't tell me what to do. But if you inspire them to do something else, then they'll start doing that. And that is the thing. That's why I don't go and tell people. Listen, you stop this. Don't do that. Or stop feeling sorry for yourself was stopped feeling this. I can't tell them that. But at the end of the day, you need to be inspired to stop that. If you get what I mean they need. They need to figure that out for themselves. What is the feature off South Africa that you want? I mean, we all have a picture ofthe often environment. We want to have our kids growing up. And what is the peach are perfect picture. You think South Africa shall be in the future? The perfect picture for me of South Africa is for me being able, tio, go anyone in the country and not feel like Oh my God in you or for anyone else like I'll be able to go into a township and I'll be able Teo, be treated like I'd like to be treated as when I go into somewhere else. Or you understand people from a Tasha I'm going there even though their language or the accident or anything is different, so be treated as human are also be treated decently and also be treated with respect. If Andi, nothing should ever affect anyone's view on a person when it comes to their colour or their race or their authenticity or whatever it might be, people should be treated with respect that that that that that everyone can not everyone's ever going to get along. But if they don't get along, it shouldn't be about race. I've seen a lot ofthe activities that is stuff that three page people having prying, meeting and having all this fun. How is it going? It's going well. I haven't really put in a lot of effort at the moment into um into getting everyone into together, but they they are talks in it. I can't reveal anything as yet, but there are talks inside where I've been speaking to a couple of big people and big brands so that we can organise one aggressive get together in the three major cities. Okay, so can I be part ofthe it? I mean, the 18 sanitary. It's all about borderless. It's all about relations. It's all about inspiring people. I think we need to stay in tight where we need to get an update. Yeah, they're ready. Convention. Stay in touch and I'll let everyone know it's amazing this is gonna happen or what is gonna happen and what our need water or need them to play in this happening. Prevent you understand you a little. Thank you so much for a time, my guy. Your last wave is you. How they What can you say to South Africans? What I can to save the South Africans? Just forget about the colour. Forget about not forget about the past, but learn to move on from the past, not to move on from the party. Focus on the good things on work from the bad. But don't just embrace about things, but focus on making South Africa better country, not for yourself, but for featured in Lauren's Castagna vest featuring support Sola. They say you are my hero. Our blade is something that is so much. Thank you. Thank you. That is Yeah. There is a Lawrence Funny car keys and UK. This's young man who inspired me.
