Can Poverty Excuse Lying and Scamming ? ๐ณ๐ฆ vA 153
I ride from Rehoboth to Kalkrand and to Mariental, in Namibia, in Africa.
On the endless emptiness of Southern Namibia, in the very remote town of Kalkrand, I find a very surprising fancy lodge serving delicious food.
Kalkrand is very poor and some local kids behave in a very strange way with me, as they pretend that the only cheap hotel is full, but I easily find out that it was a big lie… what were they up to with this lie?
Finally, the next day I ride to Mariental, where I stay in a lodge with friendly hosts, and as I tour Mariental on my trike, I meet a lot of very cheerful and friendly local folks.

Thank you so much for that good heart โคโคโคโค
Those kids were forcing themselves on Yves running all the way Yves knew he'd follow the accommodation location on Google.
It's nagging & in the end it's money they want
The title is quite misleading, there is no scamming, just poor people hoping to get paid for guiding. Matter of fact if he brushed them off, they would have left because he never demanded for guidance services
It was a complete scam, nothing more. Notice how those scammers deliberately led him to the wrong gate, preventing him from entering the correct one, knowing Yves would discover that rooms were available. Their plan was to deceive him and redirect him to shady lodges, hoping to earn commissions from the owners while also extorting additional money from Yves. Just like here, where they demanded more for no reason. And what about the guy who asked Yves to buy him a packet of chickenโwhy? What did he even do to deserve it? Yet, Yves still had the generosity to buy it for him. So, before jumping to conclusions about Yves being in the wrong, consider that side of the story.
Scams are waiting for you in cape Town with guns
I donโt think those kids were scammers, the manager definitely told them itโs full and they simply conveyed the message.
it seems kino is enjoying in Namibia
Heavy handed with your judgement, people are often treating the poor with contempt but that doesnโt make them scammers. I understand that your journey has been challenging though with people trying to take advantage of you. Safe,
I disagree with you about the kids scamming you. They were just trying to earn an honest living ๐
The way you relish all your meals is just amazing
Klasse Video. Du verdienst rund 100 000 Euro pro Jahr? Stimmts? Coolโค
From Uganda with ๐
This bra! Eats like a French ๐ซ๐ท man ๐คฃ
The way you eat seems like you were starving for ages and the kids you said scammy actually are always expecting something for food from strangers by doing little help to them๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
I really like the bottle with olive oil & vinegar in one genies ๐๐ผ
I donโt like the title of this video. The same kid literally wished you a safe trip on your way back. Itโs simply a cultural difference and as someone who is enjoying and taking in Africa you should see the nuances by now.
toujours un bon appรฉtit Yves
Had no idea southern africa was this white (since zambia, botswana, namibia)….90% of the population is black, but whites own 80% of the establishments.
How did we go from Cool drink to a 5kg pack of chicken pieces๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ They can dribble you here
And the kids complained that what they were given was not enough..i can't blame rich people for assuming the poor

Welcome to Namibia ๐ณ๐ฆ. Please avoid telling people about your movements for next day or about where youโre lodging. It becomes easier for people to set traps for you considering that youโre on a tricycle and South Africa is quite sketchy.
Extreme wealth seems to lead to the most lying and scamming. Rubs off on those in poverty.
He just sells the chicken back to the supermarket at a discount. Lol
Ridiculous thumbnail…
Kenya is more hospitable, with electricity 24 hrs,, good weather…
The "Gut & Gรผnstig" Herring filets from German EDEKA ๐คค๐๐
The fence with the barb wire on top made the hotel look like a prison camp or a half-way house. And the bars on the windows was a good indication the neighborhood wasnโt safe. And then every body comes out to want to help you so they could ask for money at the end. And the $10 wasnโt good enough. Stay safe, my friend.
What kind of title is thisโฆIโve realized that he is more nicer and patient to white people than to black people..๐๐ฝ
Dear Yves. I love your videos but I disagree with the title of this video "Can poverty excuse LYING and SCAMMING". The kids were not scamming nor lying. They were just trying to make some little money to the best of their limited way. I feel that using words like ''scamming'' is exagerated. It can help you have more clicks and views, but it is not justice to these annoying but basically harmless kids. Juste mon opinion basรฉ sur ce que j'ai vu dans ta video.
Its ok that this Kids show you a place where you can get rooms and maybe the manager dont tell them the true and say its all full to get them out. Its good that you give them some Money for there help, but that they are not happy with 17 Euro and say that this is not enouph is not ok. This is much money in this country.
Watching from Kenya ๐ฐ๐ช, I never miss to watch your videos
Your people enslaved them, which is far worse than what you are accusing them of. Europe continues to lie and rob them of their natural resources to keep them poor, therefore dependent of the EU! Long live Ibrahim Traore and Sahel region!!!!
Ministry of gender drive straight ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ
Becareful in south africa
upto now its only Zambia and Botswana without rough beggars
And should be an expert in lying scammers masquerading as investors- still don't pay their fair share of the labor toiling for them while taking African resources out to add value on em outside of Africa cos African must be allowed to be independent. And it still goes on till this day with the French Franc being kept in France as one other example as the many.
They probabaly were not lying. I bet that guy at the desk told them no.
Everything is a risk management
Thank you for buying this kid food. He is kind and not harrasing
You guys you are forgetting that this guy is from different countries with different people that he has met…he has been through alot from this journey so he knows how he should be to survive…
Dont you eat breakfast Yves?
Congratulations on crossing the Capricorn, great milestone. Twende sanaaaร a
That was amazing you bought that man food. Thank you so much.
Repot his page Keno Yves always recording young African children.
I think he is using them (scamming) , he make YouTube cash from these videos.
I donโt think he can record children in Europe.

Watching your adventure is so enjoyable and gives a great sense of how it is to travel by bike. I admire your sense of independence, and adventure. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Very expensive battery Kino.
Looks like $800 US each.
Shimano good stuff
I am asking the 259,000 followers to consider supporting Yves by becoming a patron. Several months ago, I decided to become a patron when I realized the enjoyment I got from watching his travels. If Yves could get 2% of the 259K subscribers it would make a world of difference for him. So I am challenging all you subscribers out there to become a patron, to keep this channel going and Yves well-fed! By the way, I do not know Yves just trying to be fair and help him. Thank you!
