Yes and I (Whiteman) will be moving to Cape Town one day :) thanks for keeping my spot warm! I want to raise my children were they will be forced to confront race realism despite still living a grand life. Then they won't be self hating ingrates like so many who host this channel seem to be!
isn't displacement of the people who built the cities (White people) your objective? Why get mad when this displacement comes back to you? race karma so awesome
the most sensible shit I have heard!!!! we need stronger policies - they can afford coz the rand is weak !!! there is a family in Cape Town that owns 180 Properties and it's under Airbnb and they can decide on what price they can charge!!!
Government must control the situation the same waynthey are doing when tiger brand inflate prices,they are taken to the consumer commission and are penalised accordingly and we as south africans must put it to consumers commision's attention to see if they can do something about it...
I don't live in CT, but I agree with you 100%. It could even be worse, some deliberate strategic structural exclusion to turn CT into some Monaco, a city for the rich.
Thanks girl, they just commented because they don't know cape Town. We are suffering out here, it's painful seeing our fellow brothers and sisters suffering because our government
A digital nomad is not allowed to work or open a business in the host country, so how are you working for them? The visa is given on proof of funds from their countries, plus they live in the CBD and affluent locations which are traditionally expensive, so how are they raising rent in the black locations? Thailand and Philippines are one of the cheapest places to rent in the world despite having the highest number of digital nomads.
We believe that she's generally referring to Digital Nomads that conduct business (ie. Work) in the country *illegally* , as well as those that *overstay* their Visa permits.
build your own.... kinda how the 'White built environment' exists all across SA, but not as much in Thailand or Philippines... maybe they are desiring access to the 'European built environment' and 'access to White people'. Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai all had their modern foundings by White people and wouldn't exist to their modern prominence otherwise. Look up 'American Concessions in China' and 'Kadoorie Family Opium Trade' and their connections to the ultra luxury "The Penisular" hotel chain. Thailand and Cambodia did have heavy French presence. Which is part of why people like the regional cuisine as 'the best of Asia'. Vietnamese still commonly eat baguettes. Phnom Phei was the most influenced by French in it's built environment and city planning. Most of the 'colonial downtowns' across the India coast are from......... you can probably guess it. Same with Kuwait to UAE. Same with Havana and Cartegegna. The environment is are a refelciton of those lived there. It's called "built environment" just how you would expect a bird to build a bird nest and not a beehive. You wouldn't expect a wasp to produce honey from its hive. These are reflections of the animals 'built environment'
Unfortunately, gentrification is a global issue, not just an issue in Cape Town. Things getting more expensive is the government’s fault, not because a few expats/tourists came and stay longer. The Rand has been manipulated by the banks for years, was that expats fault too? The problem she is describing is happening all over the world, not just in Cape Town
+ Suppressing the value of our currency (ie. reducing our purchasing power) + allowing the influx of illegal immigrants (ie. cheap labour) + allowing the influx of Digital Nomads (ie. Stronger Currencies) This seems to be quite a strategic & methodical assault on South Africans. (specifically Cape Townians)
you did the same to White people.... they had little cities compared to the broader land, yet you only wanted what they constructed. Why didn't you construct your own? Why are you so mad when we go our own way? Africa is a European word itself... you may be equal but you are not the same. @@LOUDTV_Voices
Inflation in Cape Town is compounded by *Foreign Currency Inflows* . The increase of *the money supply* (due to the *influx of foreign currencies* ) is increasing *the price of goods* in Cape Town's economy.
@LOUDTV_Voices influx of foreign currency? Uhmmm I thought that was the whole point of tourism?? I'f property prices are going up then ask your government to regulate them, that's not the tourists/nomads fault.
Being a 'tourist' is not equivalent to *being a resident & conducting business* in a host country. Hence there are *different types of Visas* . (eg. Tourist Visas, Work Visas etc) Individuals who elope to South Africa (with Tourist Visas), are *not allowed* to *conduct business* in South Africa. Therefore, the *fault lies with our government* for failing to enforce the law, as well as those "Tourists" (ie. *illegal digital nomads* ) that continue to *take advantage* of our *government's failure* to enforce the law.
A sizable number of people in Cape Town are unemployed, poor & living in shacks. Their situation isn't going to change if we keep the economy as is. Digital nomads are bringing hard currency. This means more business for local entrepreneurs & job creation. Some of them are young entrepreneurs who hire cheap local labour. Don't close doors for others just coz it makes life uncomfortable for you in your middle-class bubble.
Level yourself up or stop complaining. If you can't afford to drink R200 cocktails, then maybe it's time to stop ordering them. There are locals who can afford to live very comfortable in Cape Town, don't expect them to slow down in order for you to keep up. Work harder, if you not happy with the fruits of your labor, change your career path. We live in a time when making money is easier than ever before, but you need to work for it. NO ONE is going to be handing out freebies anymore, those days are over.
Clearly you do not live in Cape Town judging from this comment and if you did it shows you are seriously out of touch with what is happening with the majority of people in Cape Town where they can't support the life they once had.

I totally agree..these folks should be paying tax
She has a point. Living in Cape town currently is insane and driving out natives.
Indeed,
that seems to be
the objective.
Good. I thought we want the people in South African cities to be displaced. As long as it's the right type.
isn't displacement of the people who built the cities (White people) your objective? Why get mad when this displacement comes back to you? race karma so awesome
isn't driving them out, your goal? White people built the place. but we all want access to it
@smplfi9859 white people built shit in cape town,the coloured slaves did.
