Not necessarily because a lot of poor South Africans don't have access to these things. Especially free PROPER heathcare, education & water Some of us are lucky we live in industrialised places or towns/cities.
@@t.mblock8658 They do have access to those things. Just as long as they have proper documentation (valid ID or birth certificate, proof of address or signed affidavit confirming you live in the area). There are free schools or sponsored schools that cater to poor children (and some even offer feeding schemes and clothing donations). Medical care is free or extremely cheap for basic checkups and procedures. Drinking water can be obtained at many places for free, even at a local garage (fuel station). If you are jobless you even get a free R350 from government. If you have kids, the government gives you a fixed amount for each individual child you have. If you are old, you get a fixed amount just for being elderly. If you are disabled, you also get an amount from government. If you want to study at a university and you are poor. You just apply for the government sponsor (NSFAS) and you get to study for free and even get your accommodation and food paid for. If you are employed but earn less than R8k-R7k, you don't owe government any income tax. South Africa is very survivable even if you literally have nothing. The only challenge is for poor people who are skilled enough to build their own owns in the form of shacks or brick houses, but struggle to obtain free land allocation to be allowed to build homes.
I love how Nigerian youtubers are able to see the things that we as South Africans take forgranted. Like free education and health care. And also Road accident fund. Great video by the way, Sis
We also drink our water straight from the tap in Namibia, even in villages. Most of the things you described here are actually similar to my country. In general, Southern Africans do things in similar ways.

Hai guys not all hey. The quality has gone down now in some areas. I'm saying this as someone who lives in Durban. We buy filtered water at home. A lot of people I know do. Edit: I studied in Potchefstroom for a while. There everyone from student to resident bought water. The tap water tasted like cut grass😂😂😂
Good for you Tumelo if you believe that hogwash! Treatment plants have been going down for years, and maintenance is lacking, and here you are spewing lies about our water. It used to be, but now its sh*t..

Gambia here: I understand the driving experience. All former Brit colonies in Afrika (that includes our west coast countries Ghana, The Gambia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone) used to drive on the left. All these "English-speaking" countries changed to the right after independence. Liberia, being so closely associated with the USA, always drove on the right, just like "French-speaking" countries.

We have different names for things you know like ; Can of soft drinks =grovie Van (vehicle )=bakkie R50=pinkys R100=clipa Transport =transie we have very cool and funny names for alot of things. Keep exploring and enjoy.
This was weird, I am Zambian and expecting to be surprised but turns out most of the things she said are true for Zambia aswell. we use “shem” and “must” too.
I have just found my new favorite channel. The way you were shocked by public show of affection, it killed me. You are so on point with everything. You know, "The danger of a single story"
I think the walking slow thing is a "KZN thing" I stay in Guateng, whenever I go to KZN I get frustrated bcs of how slowly people walk. We are always in a hurry in Guateng
I grew up drinking tap water in Nigeria. Things got bad when the citizens in charge of these basic amenities became corrupt and cared more about monetary gains than doing their job for the welfare of their fellow citizens.
What a great video! The way we use 'shame' and 'shem' lol. It is so funny because I've had to explain it to friends so many times. Don't mention the taxis. The sound system on those Durban taxis can blow your eardrum! They play the newest and hippest music and kids choose the taxis with the best sound system when they are going to and from school. Yeah, the water thing, it is one of my issues with some parts of the country and the rest of the continent. People MUST have access to clean drinking water. And those disposable water bottles are harming the earth. Sis!!! Sis! Sis! I'm going to struggle when I visit Nigeria because my husband and I are always .... Thank you for such an amazing video! I was laughing so so much!
Interesting on 'shame' l never realized that it could be offending.Me too l really appreciate their health care coming from Zim, l really appreciate the government hospitals
Look I am South African and the phrase is actually ambiguous it is used in a condescending and non-condensing way lol it annoys me too South Africans are very slick they will insult and smile in your face we are pass aggressive 😂😂 polite rude.
I really appreciated health care in SA when I worked in Uganda. Public health care was really a painful experience for me as also worked at the biggest public hospital there. I love the representation of SA from your perspective, very honest and true.
Health care isn't the best though, but I guess in SA we tend to take things for granted, even the water thing like it's for granted, not grateful south africans
If someone that has a choice to go to private hospital for cancer treatment and he choose government hospital for treatment to me that tells me our healthcare is the best.
It's very interesting how we are from the same continent but still experience these overwhelming cultural shocks. We live we learn, that's the best part of it.
Good video .I am South African.We have social grants, monthly payment for old people over the age of 60yrs about R198 00 per person,child grant from birth unto 18yrs only proof that you are single parent and earn under R3000 a month for R900 per child, disability grant for R2000 per month per person and now COVID 19 grant for unemployed people from the age of 18yrs to 35yrs for R350 per month..Good country looking after her people .Education is also free from age 6yrs unto University.Public Schools education is free and compulsory,parents can be arrested if the child doesn't go to school up to the age of 19yrs or Grade 9, tertiary and University is also free using Government Bursary called NAFSAS.
We use the word ‘shame’ to mean so many different things, but none of them actually means “shame” in the proper sense of the word 😂😂 My Nigerian husband’s brother who lives in SA also complained about the way we use ‘must’ as well. It’s always funny to hear which South Africanisms are strange for people coming to the country from outside.
I am South African and I agree with you. It's good to hear about us from a different perspective. and as for taxi drivers - they are the same all over the world!
I say shame a lot. It's really not an insult. It's definitely an expression. We can even say 'I really had a very nice time with you yesterday shame'. 😂😂 And the must part, yes we use that a lot.
Hehehe yah having worked in Naija for a year, I learnt to appreciate a lot of small things we have in SA. And yes "must" got me into trouble a few times with my Nigerian boss. I have to say, Nigerians are friendly people. They took good care of us.
First time I heard that tap water is not drinkable was in Japan in 2005. I was so shocked. In Botswana we drink water straight from the tap. It's very safe.
I had a different experience growing p in Nigeria...I grew up in Abuja...drank Tap water without ever falling sick and life was very slow-paced. It's even slower in some other parts of the country usually in the North and places like UYO etc
It’s so similar to living in Australia 🇦🇺 drinking water from the tap 🚰. In my country they boiled water also. I should share my experience living here in Australia 🇦🇺. They do the same thing here, “shame on you”, 😂 it’s just an expression. Same system over here in Australia 🇦🇺 Similar. Lovely video ❤️😊
Welcome girl. This what the whole of Southern Africa is like. From Angola Zambia Malawi Moza Zim. Bots Namibia Lesotho and Swathini are like. No need to hurry at all
New subscriber here! I feel like youtube recommended this video to me because I was in SA for the first time last week amd I had searched for some SA videos. Came on honey moon with my husband after so much convincing and I must tell you from the airport I was wowed. I’m not even suprised that health care is free cause that country is so organized and has a working system from all I see. I can only imagine the rude shock for you when you heard must and shame🤣 Shame wouldn’t have suprised me though, I’ve always understood the context but that must ehn, KAII
I was also shocked when i went to Ghana and we were told to never ever drink water from the tap,buying bottled and sachets water did not sit well with me. Also bathing/showering with cold water was quite an experience for me.
Loved this ❤️❤️❤️ and laughed so much when you mentioned the public displays of affection and the loud music from the taxi drivers 😅...I just subscribed
Nigerians are nice people yesterday I was going to work and I decided to buy fat cakes at this other tea shop and when I was waiting on the queue, two Nigerian guys were in front of me and one offered to pay for my fat cakes and I refused but the guy insisted and then when I agreed he didn't even ask for my number. I guess I'm used to people doing things while expecting something in return
One taxi rule everyone must not forget in South Africa. If you tell a taxi driver to drive faster cos u late. That's like telling him to show you how slow a taxi can move on the road. They drive really slowly. If you complain, they tell you, you shouldn't have slept to catch a taxi early....
Am Namibian our water is safe to drink. I will definitely not drink tap water from certain countries. We do have bottled water in the shops. Or purification systems,but our water is chlorinated. This means that locals can drink water from the tap without issue,its clear with no odor or funny taste. One way to tell if water is contaminated is to look for turbidity, or cloudiness. While cloudy water isn't necessarily dangerous to your health, it could signal the presence of unsafe pathogens or chemicals. Our water is safe to drink,to cook and bath with.
@@dimpho3959 We will I promise. When we can have more inter country relations, we will be able to fix even our neighboring countries. It will take a long time. We got this.
What a refreshing video🤍 We love to know your experiences and the differences. Lol I kind of had a problem with the slowness as well, and I’m South African😂😂😭
Wow Big ups Sis. Loved your video very informative and positive. How I wish we could learn more about each other and from each other as African and stop fueling strife and divisiveness.
Nice one sis T the issue noisy music in taxis is a Durban thing trust me. Where I come from drivers hardly play music especially with elders in. In Jhb the noise come from passengers speaking different languages loudly. PDA you find in cities. People in cities are mostly visitors from various areas and they feel free in the city to do anything, even with dressing. Some cant dress anyhow where they come from. So city life is completely different
I need to experience the rural setting. There seems to be so many misconceptions about South Africans based on what we see in the city. Thanks for clearing this up...❤❤❤
Awesome video! 💌 I have 2 things to say, I was born and raised in Johannesburg and I am accustomed to the lifestyle here and the general speed of Jhb, however, I spent almost 3 years in Durban. It's true, Durban people have a very laid back approach to everything, it used to really frustrate me to be fair. The other thing is that only Dbn taxi's and buses do everything times 10! Volume in the taxi is always on 100 and buses load people up like sardines...
My dear , oooh I have enjoyed this your talk show . Am South African from Cape Town . Am happy that you enjoy the benefits of the country.But please go to Cape Town and live there.My sister has told me that Nigerians live a good live . Thanks Sis , and congratulations.
"shame on who" killed me🤣🤣 in SA "shame" can mean a lot of things that have nothing to do with disgrace, mostly used to express empathy or understanding.
I am Namibian. I remember going to Nigeria in 2016. People warn us not to drink water from the tap. Was very weird for us cause we drink it straight from the tap here. We had to buy water for that week.
Lovely video, the plastic and shame was really funny 😁 and so true. I think as a South African if I went to Nigeria I would also struggle a bit. 😊❤️ I also like how you appreciated the health care but as South Africans we really don’t. 😊
Watch SA Idols and you will see that the best singer will get a huuuge "wooooooooooooooo SHAME"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.. Thank you for this.. We don't even appreciate free education, heath etc as south africans and its a shame
I always love watching your videos because whenever I do I always learn one or two things and at the same time, I laugh. The way you describe things can be so hilarious. Well done!
I am from Durban and I truly can relate with most things said here especially the music. I Durban the faster the taxi or minibus, the louder the music gets. They use this method to block out any commuter complaints and also try to distract commuters from noticing how fast the driver is going. Its truly an experience LOL
I thoroughly enjoyed this video 😂❤️ As an individual I could relate to almost everything that was mentioned 😅and yes people from Durban really are laid back 🙂
I stumbled on this video I am glad we are having our brothers and sisters that are enjoying South African.I am South Africa by birth but my entire life I have surrounded by Africans from outside South Africa mostly west Africas .i am happy to see positive posts like this about South Africa.All the "free things" come from tax that all citizens are paying, if all other african leaders can understand this concept. A place like Nigeria will be like heaven with population size they have. But nice video overall.
OMG! I forget that in Nigeria you drive on the other side 😹🤞 this is so interesting for me. Being a South African in another country. Wow I’ve never heard of not drinking tap water. It’s interesting! I’m so used to drinking tap water
I'm from Zambia 🇿🇲 I have a friend down there n because of what people say about the crime rate, I always decline the invitation. I feel a bit comfortable to visit after watching this video
It’s really not as terrible as they make it out to be. There are crime hotspots and there are very safe neighborhoods. One just needs to be vigilant in CBD areas and take general safety measures for your home. Do come my brother, you’re going to love it.😊
great video. i recently made a cultural shock video as well from a Zimbabwean point of view. i like how thefe is so much diversity in Africa. I would like to meet up with different cultures and experience it all
the public display of affection is relatively new to us too, especialy the Blacks. must it must because of the rise of soapies like "Bold n Beautiful " and "Days of Our Lives"
When you started explaining “shame” I thought to myself “aww shame” 😹😹😹 this is so interesting wow 😹😹😹😹

We have different names for things you know like ;
Can of soft drinks =grovie
Van (vehicle )=bakkie
R50=pinkys
R100=clipa
Transport =transie
we have very cool and funny names for alot of things. Keep exploring and enjoy.
Awwn thanks....😊
The steering wheel is on the right we drive on the left side of the road. Meaning the passenger seat is on the left
This was weird, I am Zambian and expecting to be surprised but turns out most of the things she said are true for Zambia aswell. we use “shem” and “must” too.
Hey girl 😁
Interesting
Y’all watch too much SA tv shows 😁
Botswana too, we says Shem or shems. When we say ao shems we show compassion
I have just found my new favorite channel. The way you were shocked by public show of affection, it killed me. You are so on point with everything. You know, "The danger of a single story"
Thanks brother 🙏
I think the walking slow thing is a "KZN thing" I stay in Guateng, whenever I go to KZN I get frustrated bcs of how slowly people walk. We are always in a hurry in Guateng
I agree... Joburg reminds me of Lagos!...😊
I always look crazy when i walk in KZN.
I tell them i picked this pace up in Joburg. Most never understand tho
😂
Probably because it's a tourist destination. Most ppl are there to relax and enjoy their vacations
@@comfortmakwela that's another angle...😊
I grew up drinking tap water in Nigeria. Things got bad when the citizens in charge of these basic amenities became corrupt and cared more about monetary gains than doing their job for the welfare of their fellow citizens.
Same as in Zimbabwe it used to be tap water,but not anymore...
This has to stop across the continent. We can't let corruption ruin our continent any longer.
I'm Nigerian and still drink tap water
True.
What a great video! The way we use 'shame' and 'shem' lol. It is so funny because I've had to explain it to friends so many times.
Don't mention the taxis. The sound system on those Durban taxis can blow your eardrum! They play the newest and hippest music and kids choose the taxis with the best sound system when they are going to and from school.
Yeah, the water thing, it is one of my issues with some parts of the country and the rest of the continent. People MUST have access to clean drinking water. And those disposable water bottles are harming the earth.
Sis!!! Sis! Sis! I'm going to struggle when I visit Nigeria because my husband and I are always ....
Thank you for such an amazing video! I was laughing so so much!
Interesting on 'shame' l never realized that it could be offending.Me too l really appreciate their health care coming from Zim, l really appreciate the government hospitals
Look I am South African and the phrase is actually ambiguous it is used in a condescending and non-condensing way lol it annoys me too South Africans are very slick they will insult and smile in your face we are pass aggressive 😂😂 polite rude.
I really appreciated health care in SA when I worked in Uganda. Public health care was really a painful experience for me as also worked at the biggest public hospital there. I love the representation of SA from your perspective, very honest and true.
Thanks dear...❤
Health care isn't the best though, but I guess in SA we tend to take things for granted, even the water thing like it's for granted, not grateful south africans
Health care is brilliant in SA, we are just understaffed which makes our health care workers demotivated
You don't make sense,say that for yourself
If someone that has a choice to go to private hospital for cancer treatment and he choose government hospital for treatment to me that tells me our healthcare is the best.
Health care is very good in SA it’s just that they are understaffed and there’s a lot of people waiting to be served.
@@VhoJudith It depends where you are, most township and rural are actually shxt
It's very interesting how we are from the same continent but still experience these overwhelming cultural shocks. We live we learn, that's the best part of it.
Yes we do. Thanks for watching sis...❤
Good video
.I am South African.We have social grants, monthly payment for old people over the age of 60yrs about R198 00 per person,child grant from birth unto 18yrs only proof that you are single parent and earn under R3000 a month for R900 per child, disability grant for R2000 per month per person and now COVID 19 grant for unemployed people from the age of 18yrs to 35yrs for R350 per month..Good country looking after her people .Education is also free from age 6yrs unto University.Public Schools education is free and compulsory,parents can be arrested if the child doesn't go to school up to the age of 19yrs or Grade 9, tertiary and University is also free using Government Bursary called NAFSAS.
SA are free people and talk freely. They say things without meaning bad or insulting. We are free Spirits...
Durban is VERY chilled. JHB is different.
I agree... I think JHB is the Lagos of South Africa... it's a different vibe over there... thanks for watching ❤
Yep true, Johannesburg is very fast paced.
Too fast...😨
Great content. Amazing to hear a perspective of positivity about this great country. Hope you are still enjoying being here, at home.
😊
We use the word ‘shame’ to mean so many different things, but none of them actually means “shame” in the proper sense of the word 😂😂
My Nigerian husband’s brother who lives in SA also complained about the way we use ‘must’ as well. It’s always funny to hear which South Africanisms are strange for people coming to the country from outside.
😊😊😊
I am South African and I agree with you. It's good to hear about us from a different perspective. and as for taxi drivers - they are the same all over the world!
The way I laughed!!! Hahaaha thanks for sharing! First time here. Really enjoyed this. And learnt a lot about Nigeria too!
That hard life though is what makes us Nigerians like we are built in another dimension that’s why it’s so easy to adapt to a lot
We truly adapt fast no matter where we fun ourselves...
I say shame a lot. It's really not an insult. It's definitely an expression. We can even say 'I really had a very nice time with you yesterday shame'. 😂😂 And the must part, yes we use that a lot.
I use it a lot shame😂😂😂😂If I had a good time I would usually say"I had a great time yesterday shame".
Hehehe yah having worked in Naija for a year, I learnt to appreciate a lot of small things we have in SA. And yes "must" got me into trouble a few times with my Nigerian boss. I have to say, Nigerians are friendly people. They took good care of us.
😊😊😊
First time I heard that tap water is not drinkable was in Japan in 2005. I was so shocked. In Botswana we drink water straight from the tap. It's very safe.
I had a different experience growing p in Nigeria...I grew up in Abuja...drank Tap water without ever falling sick and life was very slow-paced. It's even slower in some other parts of the country usually in the North and places like UYO etc
You're absolutely right.
It’s so similar to living in Australia 🇦🇺 drinking water from the tap 🚰. In my country they boiled water also. I should share my experience living here in Australia 🇦🇺. They do the same thing here, “shame on you”, 😂 it’s just an expression. Same system over here in Australia 🇦🇺 Similar. Lovely video ❤️😊
Awwn Thanks for watching ❤
Please share your experiences I'll love to watch it...😊
The expression, "shame on you" meaning what? Could you help me out?
Now u know why SAcans don't migrate to African countries, when coming to tap water.
😁😁😁....
Wow! You don't emigrate to other countries because of tap water? How stagnating a life!
@@goldeneagleskyking6424
If you say so.
@@goldeneagleskyking6424 yeah and blame other people for your failures right lool
In Cape Town and Joburg, there's usually no music in the taxi or it plays very lightly
Shame and must!!!! Literally! Been here for like two years and it still fascinates me.
😊
I don't really hear the "must" often... Or maybe depends on the area...
Nigerians are welcome in South Africa great people
Awwn thanks ...❤
I approve ☑
Thanks Brian 😊
@@sibabalwesisowilson2164 I agree!
Beautiful people
Welcome girl. This what the whole of Southern Africa is like. From Angola Zambia Malawi Moza Zim. Bots Namibia Lesotho and Swathini are like. No need to hurry at all
New subscriber here! I feel like youtube recommended this video to me because I was in SA for the first time last week amd I had searched for some SA videos. Came on honey moon with my husband after so much convincing and I must tell you from the airport I was wowed. I’m not even suprised that health care is free cause that country is so organized and has a working system from all I see. I can only imagine the rude shock for you when you heard must and shame🤣
Shame wouldn’t have suprised me though, I’ve always understood the context but that must ehn, KAII
😊😊😊
When are you coming back again?
I was also shocked when i went to Ghana and we were told to never ever drink water from the tap,buying bottled and sachets water did not sit well with me. Also bathing/showering with cold water was quite an experience for me.
I would get sick bathing with cold water Yoh
We should start appreciating what we have here
Loved this ❤️❤️❤️ and laughed so much when you mentioned the public displays of affection and the loud music from the taxi drivers 😅...I just subscribed
Thank you so much 💓
I just loved your expressions especially on public affection 😂😂
Nigerians are nice people yesterday I was going to work and I decided to buy fat cakes at this other tea shop and when I was waiting on the queue, two Nigerian guys were in front of me and one offered to pay for my fat cakes and I refused but the guy insisted and then when I agreed he didn't even ask for my number. I guess I'm used to people doing things while expecting something in return
See him again
@@khae74 his a stranger that I only saw once
Our boys can be very decent. Sometimes it's just about passing it on.
One taxi rule everyone must not forget in South Africa. If you tell a taxi driver to drive faster cos u late. That's like telling him to show you how slow a taxi can move on the road. They drive really slowly. If you complain, they tell you, you shouldn't have slept to catch a taxi early....
😂😂😂
This is so true... it actually happened to me. 😂
You are so beautiful, glad you enjoy South Africa
We love you sister, You are truly stating facts and we do love South Africa and we want the best for SA. Thank you sweety❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
The best tap water in South Africa is from Pietermaritzburg.
This is definitely a fact.
Am Namibian our water is safe to drink. I will definitely not drink tap water from certain countries. We do have bottled water in the shops. Or purification systems,but our water is chlorinated. This means that locals can drink water from the tap without issue,its clear with no odor or funny taste. One way to tell if water is contaminated is to look for turbidity, or cloudiness. While cloudy water isn't necessarily dangerous to your health, it could signal the presence of unsafe pathogens or chemicals.
Our water is safe to drink,to cook and bath with.
😂 You make South Africa seem like such a nice place
Makes me feel so bad for not appreciating my country more
Don't feel bad...
I love South Africa and all my people, the whole rainbow nation.
@@molokomoloko5099 I think it's because we know SA can do much better than what it currently is.
@@dimpho3959 We will I promise. When we can have more inter country relations, we will be able to fix even our neighboring countries. It will take a long time. We got this.
What a refreshing video🤍 We love to know your experiences and the differences. Lol I kind of had a problem with the slowness as well, and I’m South African😂😂😭
Thanks for watching sis...❤
Wow Big ups Sis. Loved your video very informative and positive. How I wish we could learn more about each other and from each other as African and stop fueling strife and divisiveness.
❤❤❤
Tola, I've downloaded your channel. It's very much interesting.
Thanks 😂
Nice one sis T the issue noisy music in taxis is a Durban thing trust me. Where I come from drivers hardly play music especially with elders in. In Jhb the noise come from passengers speaking different languages loudly. PDA you find in cities. People in cities are mostly visitors from various areas and they feel free in the city to do anything, even with dressing. Some cant dress anyhow where they come from. So city life is completely different
I need to experience the rural setting. There seems to be so many misconceptions about South Africans based on what we see in the city. Thanks for clearing this up...❤❤❤
Awesome video! 💌
I have 2 things to say, I was born and raised in Johannesburg and I am accustomed to the lifestyle here and the general speed of Jhb, however, I spent almost 3 years in Durban.
It's true, Durban people have a very laid back approach to everything, it used to really frustrate me to be fair.
The other thing is that only Dbn taxi's and buses do everything times 10! Volume in the taxi is always on 100 and buses load people up like sardines...
😄😄😄
My dear , oooh I have enjoyed this your talk show . Am South African from Cape Town . Am happy that you enjoy the benefits of the country.But please go to Cape Town and live there.My sister has told me that Nigerians live a good live .
Thanks Sis , and congratulations.
Hahahhaahha love the public affection good one ❤❤❤❤
"shame on who" killed me🤣🤣 in SA "shame" can mean a lot of things that have nothing to do with disgrace, mostly used to express empathy or understanding.
😂😂😂
So I've heard...😊
Same here
🤎🤎🤎
Health care is free? My goodness! That's an amazing selling point on the country.
I am Namibian. I remember going to Nigeria in 2016. People warn us not to drink water from the tap. Was very weird for us cause we drink it straight from the tap here. We had to buy water for that week.
I had the same experience in uganda....we take things for granded hey....Namibia ❤
Lovely video, the plastic and shame was really funny 😁 and so true. I think as a South African if I went to Nigeria I would also struggle a bit. 😊❤️
I also like how you appreciated the health care but as South Africans we really don’t. 😊
Watch SA Idols and you will see that the best singer will get a huuuge "wooooooooooooooo SHAME"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.. Thank you for this.. We don't even appreciate free education, heath etc as south africans and its a shame
😂😂😂 Somi does that a lot!
I always love watching your videos because whenever I do I always learn one or two things and at the same time, I laugh. The way you describe things can be so hilarious. Well done!
❤️❤️❤️
I am from Durban and I truly can relate with most things said here especially the music. I Durban the faster the taxi or minibus, the louder the music gets. They use this method to block out any commuter complaints and also try to distract commuters from noticing how fast the driver is going. Its truly an experience LOL
You are actually effortlessly funny, I love this😂❤️❤️
😊 Thanks
I thoroughly enjoyed this video 😂❤️ As an individual I could relate to almost everything that was mentioned 😅and yes people from Durban really are laid back 🙂
I'm glad you enjoyed it... check out part 2....😊

I stumbled on this video I am glad we are having our brothers and sisters that are enjoying South African.I am South Africa by birth but my entire life I have surrounded by Africans from outside South Africa mostly west Africas .i am happy to see positive posts like this about South Africa.All the "free things" come from tax that all citizens are paying, if all other african leaders can understand this concept. A place like Nigeria will be like heaven with population size they have. But nice video overall.
OMG! I forget that in Nigeria you drive on the other side 😹🤞 this is so interesting for me. Being a South African in another country.
Wow I’ve never heard of not drinking tap water. It’s interesting! I’m so used to drinking tap water
It was a HUGE adjustment for me...😊
Tap water is life!...
I thought all former British colonies drive on the left. Hmmmm.. My bad
I thought we all drove in the right in Africa...
In the U.S. they drive on the right. Canada too. For some reason I thought this was true of New Zealand but I can’t remember.
I was a bit worried when I saw the title. Not all Nigerians feel the way you feel about SA. I'm pleasantly surprised about the positive reviews on SA.
😊😊😊
You forgot to mention we are always in time for our appointments, we don't use African time😂😂 lovely video thank you👏👏
Enjoyed watching this so funny and relaxed! ❤️
❤❤❤
I'm from Zambia 🇿🇲 I have a friend down there n because of what people say about the crime rate, I always decline the invitation. I feel a bit comfortable to visit after watching this video
I'm glad to hear this...❤
You "must" come through 😁 It's actually not bad at all.
It’s really not as terrible as they make it out to be. There are crime hotspots and there are very safe neighborhoods. One just needs to be vigilant in CBD areas and take general safety measures for your home. Do come my brother, you’re going to love it.😊
❤
This video is an eye opener. I love that you are not only sharing your experience but that you are teaching. Keep up the great work. I am a fan. 💕❤️
Awwn....❤❤❤
great video. i recently made a cultural shock video as well from a Zimbabwean point of view. i like how thefe is so much diversity in Africa. I would like to meet up with different cultures and experience it all
I will check it out! Thanks for watching!...❤
the public display of affection is relatively new to us too, especialy the Blacks. must it must because of the rise of soapies like "Bold n Beautiful " and "Days of Our Lives"
WT@FF
I used to wonder why africans can express love in public.
Can't*
@Malisti04
The American soap operas?
So in Naija when I use "must" in a sentence it means I'm fighting? Yhoo I won't survive 😂😂😂 also, I use shame a lot, like.. A helluva lot
me too girl!
me too girl!
😂
Pls keep giving us contents like this. I love it 😍😍❤️
Noted sis. Thanks...❤
There's this Taxi driver that does runs in my street, the way his Volume is so high the bass actually vibrates the area
😂
I laughed so hard on the "shame" one. We're so used to it we don't notice it's something strange to foreigners
😂😂😂
shame 😂
