As a South African (and a Pretorian 😂) I can safely say you doing a great job. You breaking all this stereotypes and negative perceptions African Americans have about South Africa and Africa in general. Keep showcasing SA. Good job 👏🏽
Brother. But on the other side of that negative PR. Thousands of German etc and other European tourists come in by the bus loads and enjoy their Euros. While our black brothers from the diaspora are sold a lie to keep them away.
@@Nikolizky I suppose that's true. But the P.R Africa has received since the 80's and 90's hasn't helped. As far as America goes anyhow. UNESCO ads etc.

South Africans, let's be honest. There's no channel on TH-cam that presents our country like this. Not even one. South African TH-camrs discuss beauty products. Useless.
Lol, play nice. TH-cam is an open platform for everyone. There are multiple niche channels, Beauty being one of them. People will naturally start a channel based on their own interests and passions. There are other SA channels apart from Beauty and gossip, I've seen "drive with me" channels done by two guys from Joburg that showcase the different neighborhoods and sights while driving around Johannesburg/GP -- you're right though, I don't think I've seen a channel that's geared towards showcasing SA in a positive light like this one. I think it just has to do with what their business is centred around -- their vision, mission and their target market. They are a business first before being "TH-camrs", TH-cam was just a platform to market their offerings. At least that's how I see it.
@@_theerealnono_7694 okay, i suppose you're right, I'm being a little unfair. But show me a South African TH-camr who presents our country to the rest of the world in such a positive way. Send me the link 😊🇿🇦
I hope those who keep asking why you chose S.A instead of west Africa they get the answers just by watching your videos and see how beautiful this country is.
@Simon CM develop by the White man. We are only quick to go to places already develop. That's why the Chinese are ahead of us because while we are striving for develop cities, Chinese are striving for the interior to extract minerals and gold. How many of us want to go to the Congo, but go see the Chinese that don't even speak the language!!!
@Simon CM U misunderstood my point, u took out what u could and turn it in to lemonade. Now let me tell u what u don't know. When colonizers left during independence, most infrastructures that they have built was destroy by them and ontop of that those countries had to pay taxes for been colonize through resources. Now my point was Chinese people have no problem going into the interior of this countries despite not speaking the language, even in the interior of SA u will find a Chinese. But most Black Americans doesn't have that business mindset. They go only to countries that speaks English and develop. Scared to make big moves into the hinterlands.

Thanks Mr Blanton for representing South Africa on a global stage, our brothers and sisters in America should visit Africa and see what they have been missing all along
I love how you mention places like Limpopo (my home). People think SA is only the major cities and then they get disappointed if they prefer a more slowed down, simple, or rural life. Also I think people will be surprised at the development in these villages
Continue to share this channel on your social media platforms. Let's get Mark & Tasha to 100k before end of this year. Thank you for visiting the Capital, Pretoria (or Tshwane as known by us locals).
By far the best video portraying the beauty of South Africa. The country is exquisitely vibrant with full of opportunities. I shared the videos to my AA friends in Texas and they are planning to visit SA as soon as restrictions on international flights are eased. I have also provided them with your contacts. Keep up the good work, ,,, South Africa and Africa is for "black" opportunities.
I love that you love SA so much! When I first went to the USA in 2002 something that stood out immediately for me was that the stores had a lot more choices and people seemed to drive much larger vehicles than SA. I also noticed that people seemed to shop a lot more for clothing and other household/decor items. My mouth would hang open seeing people's overloaded shopping trolleys at places like Ross, Marshall's and Walmart. I would think "why do people need so much stuff?" In SA the majority do not have that disposable income and shop more for basic necessities. I have been in Canada for a few years but going back to SA permanently soon Godwilling. South Africa calls me loudly every day.
Absolutely love this video I love South Africa and the only thing keeping me from moving over right now is the money I have to find a way to keep making money I can watch you guys videos literally all day
This is the most developed African country i've seen. I love your videos. I detest malls here and anywhere i travel in the world. Thank you for showing them. People, don't know the reality of different african countries and i think AA would love it there. Peace
But there is no african weather SA has all weather systems, climates and geography, snow winter, deserts, rain forests, Mediterranean, savanna, mountains regions, etc Its all in one
Show them Durban and see the beauty of South Africa, Malls the likes of Pavillion, Gateway, Mhlanga Mall, Ballito Mall and number of them, What about Moses Mabhida Stadium and a games there as well, Show them Umhlanga, La lucia, Ballito, Zimbali, Kloof and Many more Traditional Zone, Shakaland, hluhluwe, Dragensburg Mountain, Show Townshil life of Umlazi, let them eat Kask braai. You are awesome being South African I am number 1 fan of your company and wish you become one of then next Billionaire in Tourism.
They based in joburg so of course they will show Joburg and surrounding areas more. How about you start your own channel and show them around Durban it's a nice place plus with beautiful beaches.
Great job guys. I'm a South African and when I went to the States for the 1st time I was kind of astonished at the fact that African Americans don't know SA except for the mention of Nelson Mandela 🤔and all the weird questions they asked 😂...They were surprised to even c m wearing clothes 😂...Great thing is that they thought I look exactly like them👏
How did you familiarize yourself with various cities, you're driving around like you were born in South Africa? Do you use a GPS in your car or you have learned the areas?
Gambia is one of the poorest and smallest nation of the 54 African countries. Africa has big cities and towns so Gambia is very small not even in the first 30 in Africa
If you want a more rural country (that's a preference for some people) then Gambia is for you. South Africa on the other hand will give you first world quality of life if you prefer city life.
I drove in the states the first day I arrived there, it shouldn't be that hard. You just need to be focused. 😁 Parking lots messed me up, but on main roads no stress.
I got so lost on few ocassions it was embarrassing. Having to ask for ads from the Security and they are very helpful without condescending. Now I park on the entrance to the shops that I will be pratronising
@@Nonchalant_248 Lol I think much healthier. South Africans have many fast food options but they still understand the importance of a balanced and healthy diet.

Damn! As a South African currently living on another continent I miss Pretoria havin been based there for a significant number of years. Last time I was in Menlyn mall was at least 2016 if not further back n I'm happy to see the level of development. Unfortunately the last couple times I was back in SA I didn't have any time to go to places outside of my home city. I will eventually come back home permanently n look forward to seein more international brothers n sisters calling SA home for the betterment of SA in general. Keep up the good work The Real South Africa.
Hey guys, my wife and I are considering traveling to SA and we are interested in hearing more about your service. I sent a message through your website email but no reply.
To the people of South Africa, I write this out of love. Here is SA at the moment we are so consumed with our lives and our politics that a lot of people are not noticing what is happening in the rest of the world. For some reason God in His mercy for now is sparing SA. I encourage you to find out what is happening around the world from fires to floods to locusts to storms to droughts to anarchy to earth quakes to volcanoes and more just look. These things are rampant at the moment and affecting multiple millions of people countries are being ruined. I also understand that in a lot of Churches in SA Bible prophesy is really put on the back burner or left out altogether (I am not taking about people prophets I am talking about what is written in the Bible). I would really encourage you to read your own Bible and let the Lord speak to you about what is going on. For those of you who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ I would earnestly encourage you to seek Him (ABCs below). I am not a date setter but the Lord did say we would know the season of His coming in the clouds, I am not even asking you to take my word for it but please take it to pray before the Lord. One day Jesus is coming for His people and we will be raptured and that day seems to be fast approaching. Those that do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ before this will go through the tribulation a time of unspeakable horror because you rejected the son of God after He gave His life for your sin, just read Revelation 6 - 22. Remember, we cannot earn our way to Heaven the price was paid by Jesus Christ. Admit you are a sinner in need of a saviour. Believe in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross alone for the forgiveness of all your sins (past, present and future) and eternal life! Call on the name of the Lord. ("All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13) "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." (John 14:6) "When you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart man believes and is justified and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10) "For it is by grace you are saved through faith. It is not your own doing. It is the FREE gift of God. Not by works lest any man boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
I’m actually tearing up I come from Pretoria Centurion opposite that Makro 😭 how I miss home and I can’t wait to come back home I love love South Africa with all my heart Thank you sooo much for showing people that we live in a beautiful country
I'm suprised just by how many black South Africans are living outside of South Africa. Normally, mostly whites get to live outside of South Africa. We, on the other hand, tend to stay put.
Ive been to mall of Africa a several times now and everytime i go there, i make sure i use one entrance and one exit. Ive turned into a fool a several times now and enough is enough.
Lol its not only you, I have a cousin who's born and bred I'm Pta but she has never been to Menlyn and I live in the East Rand but I've been to Menlyn a couple of times ko Ayepyep
It's weird how certain people have never experienced certain things. I have a 40 year old friend who tells me he's never had a headache. So he will ask me what having a headache feels like. How do you respond to that?
I came across your channel a couple weeks ago and I am definitely coming to visit, with hopes of the next 5 years building a home in SA. I currently live in MISSISSIPPI which is the southern region of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I’m South African thank so much, wow it’s so amazing how know all nice tourists destination. I recommend that all the that want to visit South Africa making bookings with your company
I stayed in Menlyn...walking distance of Mall and Menlyn Maine...I loved it bc everything like shops restaurants stores businesses are walking distance...I loved it, memories made and will return...I do recommend Menlyn as a great introduction to SA for an American, less bustling than Joburg...I do hope Gautrain opens a location at Menlyn one day cause I sure could live there
Thank you guy for all that you do hear. To hear the wonderful things yall are saying about my home fills me with so much pride. May God keep blessing you and all you do❤️💖

Thanks. I am learning and this video has opened my eyes.
If you want a more rural country (that's a preference for some people) then Gambia is for you. South Africa on the other hand will give you first world quality of life if you prefer city life.
@@nowelaZA You can also experience rural life in South Africa especially in smaller towns in KZN near the coast.
I’d say Makro is more like Costco than Walmart
Just thinking how quick it was for you to get used driving on the "wrong" side of the road 😦😦😦
Lol come on tebza
I drove in the states the first day I arrived there, it shouldn't be that hard. You just need to be focused. 😁 Parking lots messed me up, but on main roads no stress.
My dyslexia would have kicked in immediately lol
Love Menlyn park live in USA now.Use to live in Gasfointein near Menlyn Park and you know Pretoria there is Brooklyn
Great video! I emailed you about my move. Hope to hear from you!

Will email now
Sent email!
I love Menlyn but i can never find my way out 🤣🤣😪
Damn Laylah umuhle, you are very very beautiful sisi wam
Sbwl yolahleka phaya
lol ask me what happened to me a few several times when i was in the Mall Of Africa. lol
Having experienced all Menlyn upgrades, got lost on the early 2000s upgrade, couldn't get a way out for over an hour, also driving into barricades 🤣
I got so lost on few ocassions it was embarrassing. Having to ask for ads from the Security and they are very helpful without condescending. Now I park on the entrance to the shops that I will be pratronising
Wow, 6000 views in 21 hours already. Love how the people's channel is growing 👍🏿👍🏿🇿🇦🇿🇦
Beautiful Blantons!! Can’t wait to get there!!🎉🎊🙏🏾
Your name is "Philissa" 🤔. In Zulu "Philisa" means to give life/ make one well. 😁
@@NEMESIS_10 thanks for the time you invested in research
Lol I'm Zulu so it was more like an observation but you're welcome 😁
@@philissaa29 It did not need any research ma'am. Your name is an everyday word we use in our South African language, Zulu.😀
Woza sisi Phili. Means come. You are welcome sister in isiZulu the language of King Shaka Zulu.
I saw my favorite store Zara! lol. Also H&M and Cinnabon!!!! yeah that Makro looks just like Sams Club or Costco.
Did you see the Popeye's Chicken at 23:04?
@@nowelaZA yeah I saw that too lol. But I assume those fast food places taste completely different over there.
@@Nonchalant_248 Lol I think much healthier. South Africans have many fast food options but they still understand the importance of a balanced and healthy diet.
@@Nonchalant_248 Lol I think much healthier. South Africans have many fast food options but they still understand the importance of a balanced and healthy diet.
@@Nonchalant_248 they probably taste different, don't know if better or worse though.
Damn! As a South African currently living on another continent I miss Pretoria havin been based there for a significant number of years. Last time I was in Menlyn mall was at least 2016 if not further back n I'm happy to see the level of development. Unfortunately the last couple times I was back in SA I didn't have any time to go to places outside of my home city. I will eventually come back home permanently n look forward to seein more international brothers n sisters calling SA home for the betterment of SA in general. Keep up the good work The Real South Africa.
Tell them at Melrose there's a dealership for Bentley and for Aston Martin as well.
South Africa is just a remarkable country on the African continent for all tourists to visit in 2022!
Hey guys, my wife and I are considering traveling to SA and we are interested in hearing more about your service. I sent a message through your website email but no reply.
You can read more on their service on their website. I think they are getting a lot of emails. There might be a phone number on the website
Check out
Mark!!! Please respond to Kev Kev We are now helping you as South Africans because you are doing a great job sure casing our country.
My impression is that they're absolutely overwhelmed by the emails they're getting.
To the people of South Africa, I write this out of love. Here is SA at the moment we are so consumed with our lives and our politics that a lot of people are not noticing what is happening in the rest of the world. For some reason God in His mercy for now is sparing SA. I encourage you to find out what is happening around the world from fires to floods to locusts to storms to droughts to anarchy to earth quakes to volcanoes and more just look. These things are rampant at the moment and affecting multiple millions of people countries are being ruined. I also understand that in a lot of Churches in SA Bible prophesy is really put on the back burner or left out altogether (I am not taking about people prophets I am talking about what is written in the Bible). I would really encourage you to read your own Bible and let the Lord speak to you about what is going on. For those of you who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ I would earnestly encourage you to seek Him (ABCs below). I am not a date setter but the Lord did say we would know the season of His coming in the clouds, I am not even asking you to take my word for it but please take it to pray before the Lord. One day Jesus is coming for His people and we will be raptured and that day seems to be fast approaching. Those that do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ before this will go through the tribulation a time of unspeakable horror because you rejected the son of God after He gave His life for your sin, just read Revelation 6 - 22.
Remember, we cannot earn our way to Heaven the price was paid by Jesus Christ.
Admit you are a sinner in need of a saviour. Believe in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross alone for the forgiveness of all your sins (past, present and future) and eternal life! Call on the name of the Lord. ("All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13) "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." (John 14:6) "When you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart man believes and is justified and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10) "For it is by grace you are saved through faith. It is not your own doing. It is the FREE gift of God. Not by works lest any man boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Amen
Amen,that's the truth
One of my kids favorite mall simply because of the games
I’m actually tearing up I come from Pretoria Centurion opposite that Makro 😭 how I miss home and I can’t wait to come back home I love love South Africa with all my heart
Thank you sooo much for showing people that we live in a beautiful country
I see Bp, when i saw BP and shell in chicago i screamed lol.. I felt like am home.
Thanks hunny for coming to my home.
@pule j i know hey. 😅. Come we miss you more.
I was there in December 2019 was on my way to Taxas, i know the feeling 😊
BP is an international (British) company, it's not exclusive to SA. They are literally in most parts of the world...I get your excitement though.
I'm suprised just by how many black South Africans are living outside of South Africa. Normally, mostly whites get to live outside of South Africa. We, on the other hand, tend to stay put.
Department of Tourism should form a partnership with you guys because you are doing way more than they are doing. Excellent job
Ive been to mall of Africa a several times now and everytime i go there, i make sure i use one entrance and one exit. Ive turned into a fool a several times now and enough is enough.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
U not the only one, Many people reported their cars stolen only to be found the same place they packed it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I been searching countries in AFRICA that I wanna move to, how can I contact ya'll?
Hello Joy, email direct info@therealsouthafrica.com
@@TRSA forgot y'all email so posted the website 🙂
@@TRSA thank you
Pretoria East guys. 😍 It's stunning!!
Ive never been to Menlyn Mall and Im from Johannesburg🙈 ..Thanks for this im definately going to pay a visit.
Lol its not only you, I have a cousin who's born and bred I'm Pta but she has never been to Menlyn and I live in the East Rand but I've been to Menlyn a couple of times ko Ayepyep
It's weird how certain people have never experienced certain things. I have a 40 year old friend who tells me he's never had a headache. So he will ask me what having a headache feels like. How do you respond to that?
@@CbosEasyRecipes7 Hey Cbo, it's true.people are strange out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love, love, love what you are doing!! Thank you. South African watching from Dubai. I miss home 😓😓😓
I came across your channel a couple weeks ago and I am definitely coming to visit, with hopes of the next 5 years building a home in SA. I currently live in MISSISSIPPI which is the southern region of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Loving the growth on your channel,well done👏👏
I personally like driving around between jozi and pretoria, gauteng province in particular at night its out of this world.
Truly! My favorite as well
Also Tax is already added to the prices in RSA. What you see is what you will pay. Nothing more
Yeah 😂Makro is literally our Walmart
Yes Walmart owns Makro.
As well as GAME
@@khumothage4629 Part of it, I think 40% of it but Game on the other hand got 100% acquired by Walmart last year.
@@tokelolove7234 here in the UK Walmart acquired Asda the second largest supermarket chain in Britain!
@Thabiso M massmart should be in the majority.
Beautiful South African weather
love your knowledge of our country...keep up the great work!!
After seeing your interview on Newsroom Africa, I had to subscribe to your channel. Love what you guys are doing. May God bless you and your family
Lol my work place, Makro. I thought I will see myself on the video
Oh brother, this so ultra cool. Thank you for yet another magnificent post.
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally someone shows the real south Africa ..thank you...most places in sa like this. Durban too

I’m South African thank so much, wow it’s so amazing how know all nice tourists destination. I recommend that all the that want to visit South Africa making bookings with your company
SA really is that girl
I stayed in Menlyn...walking distance of Mall and Menlyn Maine...I loved it bc everything like shops restaurants stores businesses are walking distance...I loved it, memories made and will return...I do recommend Menlyn as a great introduction to SA for an American, less bustling than Joburg...I do hope Gautrain opens a location at Menlyn one day cause I sure could live there
Menlyn has grown so much since 2010, I used to live in Pta till 2002.
Thank you guy for all that you do hear. To hear the wonderful things yall are saying about my home fills me with so much pride. May God keep blessing you and all you do❤️💖
Gauteng Province is pronounced like "Ha" with your tonsils vibrating almost like french "rrrr". By the way Gauteng is a Tswana term which means "the City of Gold".
“Kga” rather
@@nkelesekgoloane7892 but they wont be able to pronounce it as kga. They will be like k. G. A. Its Ha wth tounsels vibrating.
Not exclusively a Tswana term, it could be either Sotho, Pedi or Tswana.
More like clearing your throat in the morning 🤣 Ggggggau-teng
@@rupertbosch1539 :) you got it right!!!
I also recommend Melrose Arch. Pretty sleek place. Rosebank too.
It feels like a different world
Thanks The Blantons for showcasing our africa.
Thanks
We will get to that 10k subs,just keep up the good work.🇿🇦
Since I live in Cape Town I think every time I go to Joburg I will just watch on your TH-cam channel on places I can go to.
Pitori Mahlanyeni is the best place. It has its own vibe and mother of Amapiano music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m from Durban, South Africa. I visited Menlyn Mall for the first time last year. I loved it there❤️❤️
