Yes ! The amount of black Americans that have swarmed Sandton is real. It's raising costs due to more strain on demand and driving up local costs which average South Africans cannot afford.
@earthsecho4770, Black Americans are more than welcome in South Africa and Africa...White Americans too except them Karens. Those need to stay away. We have enough to deal with as it is
This is what happens when a government choses profit over its people. The same thing is in my home country, Liberia. The USD has taken over our country until it is so hard to afford basis needs. Everything is so expensive.

Cape Town has always been Europe literally still a British Colony but it’s becoming more filled with white Americans who overstay like most Europeans in Africa already. White Americans are just joining in droves which is what I noticed in Botswana too. It won’t be noticed for years since other Africans as we know are the targets. From visiting Cape Town I notice that the local Africans can’t even live in decent neighbourhoods unless it’s one in a million because they also keep upper class areas “white” with gentrification. It’s literally Europe with a better aesthetic, better weather, cheaper property and better quality of life. It will only get worse as more from the West (Europe, America, Canada) flee to many nations outside and especially the East (Africa,Asia,Middle East and at times South America or Eastern Europe) to live decent lives outside of the West especially with remote work etc Africa is becoming gentrified especially Southern Africa while the West declines.
They’re going to infiltrate from within and then literally keep the original natives of the land out. This can’t go on. They need to reform their policies and government. This here needs to be stopped ASAP.
Same is happening in the Caribbean like Barbados as well. From the look of things it seemed it's a agreement with major real estate agencies to help keep their businesses a float during and after COVID, but now they're selling at premium prices and pushing the locals out of the market thus driving the cost of buying a home or land.

The gentrification in Cape Town is insane. But then, some European countries don't require a visa for South Africans to come for 90 days. In iraland, South Africans can stay for as long as they like without a visa, but you need paperwork like study permits and work permits.
100% Ireland is the only European country that I still dream of visiting...The rest, no thanks...But then again, Ireland and South Africa have always shared a bond due to their support during the apartheid days
Coming from a tourist town, I can relate to high prices and unaffordable housing. However, tourism brings millions/billions into the economy. With this said, I’m sure SA is aware of this issue.
Of course, I agree completely. Countries like Spain and Italy lost the character of their art cities because of mass tourism but they gain 70-150 billion dollars in revenues.
Did you even finish watching the video? She clearly said that the problem wasn’t tourism, the problem is that these non-black tourists overstay their time limit and just begin to live there while not even paying taxes. An influx of people who don’t pay taxes brings DOWN an economy, not up
@@pullo6549 This unfortunate for the native South Africans, but SA knows who exactly is in their country and if they want to enforce non resident to leave they would do it. I knew a few people that over extended their stay and were force to leave.
Please these Europeans and Americans need to stay in their Countries. The fact that they are allowed to work in Cape Town in South Africa and pay taxes to their home Countries is ridiculous. Vote out ANC, vote in EFF to clean up these mess.
They couldn't care less about the land or the people as long as their politicians don't have to leave their countries to live in luxury. Their infrastructure problems are ridiculous.

Them folks come right on in and start anchoring in and taking over. The govt. is allowing it, so band together and get rid of the leaders in govt. As Malcolm X said, "By all means necessary"
The issue is that we Black Africans are so disorganized and fractual politically and culturally. I am moving to South Africa in Durban and I see we are not unified to restructure PREVENT these types of systems of Euro invasion. THE SA ECONOMY NEEDS THIS INFUSION OF POUNDS/DOLLARS TO KEEP THE ECONOMY AFLOAT.

We have to stop complaining and unify as Black South Africans instead of ANC against EFF against Action SA against against against while the Europeans, Afrikaans, Chineses, Indians, and Arabs work in unity to get land and resources to build their communities.

It's not only tourists hiking prices, internal migration (semigration) by locals is high too. Tourist are mostly in specific places but cost of housing has skyrocketed in the whole of Cape Town. Cost of living in general in SA has increased quite rapidly over the past few years.. Are local businesses taking advantage of the influx of tourist, most definitely.. But that's a given almost anywhere especially given the state of the economy. The gentrification is from all angles.. Digital Nomads are just a small fraction of a larger issue...
As a South African, this is good for our economy. Digital nomads you are all welcome! One day, by the grace of God, we can turn Johannesburg into Cape Town and be a prime destination for digital nomads.
One would be fooled into believing that if one is not familiar with our Constitution. Juju will do nothing for rhe average person. The belt he wears cost more than some people make in a year...
I was afraid that something like this would happen. Bcuz White people will over pay when things are cheaper -mexico. Also I saw it happening when black people were coming to buy homes in S Africa and i know those white realtor are jacking up the prices, bcuz some of those prices for home was starting to look like American price range. And i know that can cause division with our cousins and us. Hopefully we will start businesses and hire our own people. Bcuz going to another country to live there and over paying is no different from what is going on here in the bay area. Thats how i got pushed out of my apartment complex. Over priced apartments, overrated bay area.

I am so tired of locals with this same complaint against digital nomads. The problem is not the digital nomads. The problem is the business people in your countries that capitalize off of digital nomads at the expense of the locals. Another issue I have is that people around the world need to be more proactive economically and stop being victims. Migration is human nature. To expect humans to stay put is unreasonable and for those of you in countries experiencing inflation from this, blame the businesses. That is unethical to raise prices just because you can. The frustration is directed at the wrong people.
The government of South Africa should have a right of return for the diaspora. Also, there should be outreach progerams connected to HBCU's to start to bring blk americans to your country. You should charge about 500 US dollar on the visa. Anyone on a 90. Day visa should be picked up and deported after 90 days and barred from re entering the country for one year. Anyone that is not a citizen should pay taxes on items bought or sold while in the country. Exemptions applied for blk people of the diaspora
😂😂😂 exemptions for diaspora. How entitled you are. So diaspora can just come over, contribute nothing but the problems cited in the video. Let me bow for you king diaspora. The opposite is true, many diaspora had the chance to leave and gain wealth abroad while contributing to the countries’ brain drain, they should be taxed twice as much!

Believe it or not the same thing happens here in the United States. Lots of large cities in the US have become quite expensive because of Asian Russian and European people moving here and driving up the cost. It's a gift and a curse.

It appears that 2024 housing affordability index No in Cape Town is about 5.4, meaning that it takes 5.4 years of average salary to buy an average house. Compare that to Sydney at 20.
They should just charge the foreigners more and the local at a lower rate. Like in Cuba make a local dollar and a foreign dollar. Use the economics and start to regularize them and tax them and they don't just carry that but much more is coming with them.
This is what they do in South America. People there getting priced out. So basically they are raising prices because...tourists? Meanwhile the regulars can't afford the same thing. Hoo boy...
...back then it was legislated segregation...today it is economic segregation. The local ruling party always pay lip service to the people...and for years, the people bought it, which is why the ANC lost power. Not anymore
Shame on the provincial government for not dealing with this issue. As a tourist in January, I felt that we were contributing to the local economy and citizenry and felt very welcome in that most beautiful place.
Course you felt that way seeing as you ignored the several homeless people, homeless on their own land because you people are causing even single rooms to be unaffordable for the average Capetonias. Prices have been jacked up because of you people.
😂😂😂am I shocked no...daa Cape Town was built for Europeans just like Johannesburg...I mean if its expensive for Africans to travel to other African countries but for Europeans its easier plus the rand manipulation 😂😂😂...its sad though coz the locals cannot even enjoy the splendor yet the Foreigners like Euporeans, Americans can 😂😂😂...The dark side of Tourism 😂...its sad 😢...The South African Political leaders which also include Home Affairs and Tourism Department should have done something about this..allowing Euros, dollars at the expense of your people's livelihood and survival its despicable and sad...profits over people 😢😢
It's really a their fault if prices go up, it's the business greed. If there's a problem with taxes make them pay taxes. Charge them fees if they over stay their 90 days. Charge the laws and don't just complain about it. 120RND is about $5 to $6, so if a Caffe shop can get 120RND and the regular price is 40RND. It's self explaining.
Cape Town is very expensive as a South African. I came from Johannesburg where the cost of living is far less. Just rental and buying a home isn't the same. In Cape Town you will find a 1-2 bedroom apartment going to R1.8-2million plus while in Johannesburg you can get a 3-4 bedroom place for the same amount. It is ridiculously expensive and it is because there are no tourist and local prices. Tourist get overcharged and we must also by default, that is madness.
...the worst part is that, salaries are low in Cape Town on average compared to Joburg. Cape Town is for tourists with foreign currencies that are stronger than the Rand...or just insanely rich tourists
Require visas, only locals can have business, advise to leave after 90 days. GET THE BRICS monetary system in place. Protect the locals and charge taxes ASAP
Only residents pay taxes. If someone is a tourist they are not responsible for paying taxes in a foreign country. Digital nomads work online, which allows them to travel around, and that doesn’t mean because someone is a digital nomad they’re living in South Africa full-time. Many digital nomads stay in one country for 1-3 months and then travel to another country, and besides that whatever foreign countries that visit have no entitlement to their salaries via taxes based their income is foreign-based and they’re not residents of that country, meaning they don’t live there permanently.
That’s nonsense. If they are working they SHOULD be paying tax. That’s how it is in a sane society but these ppl get treated like they are special simply because they are pale. So disgusting.
Well, no one wants to visit Nigeria anyway😂 so it really doesn’t matter. Westerners hear Nigeria and scammers come to thought. Besides that, Nigeria doesn’t have a tourist problem (as if you can even call having Western tourists a problem) and their economy is 💩. Just look at the ongoing nationwide protests in Nigeria about the economy and job market… so I guess that’s what South Africans want (a weaker economy) as opposed to tourists.
Unfortunately, most African countries are taking that move without consulting the indigenous or assessing the impact on them. If they will not let us in their cihntries why should we? . I thought the no visa movement was for the purpose of unifying Africa and Africans around the world, but politicians have other views specifically for their masters. They have no faith in us Africans but their colonial masters as the saviours of Africa.
According to the UN Global Equity and Climate Change Agenda (sustainability development goals) African countries are entitled to EVERYTHING that US people have, and the U.S. taxpayers are supposed to pay for it. Please send a note to the Sec. General, and tell him South Africa does not want anything from the West…it is gentrification and insulting! (That includes electricity grids). US taxpayers will be very relieved!! They are 33 trillion in debt. Thank you!❤
They pay vat on consuming goods and services, they do create jobs for South Africans There are certainly no restrictions on certain passports staying up to three months. If they stay over the limit, they should get fined or banned. Don’t most comply with the rule by flying out and flying back in
Then there should be a tourist tax period I mean didn't Asia have one till 20 years ago? It's what they do they find beauty and suck it dry with no regard to those it affects negatively. It's a constant state of moral caution to the wind for these people, smh.

IT IS A SKILLS ISSUE WHEREBY NON-BLACK PEOPLE WITH ADVANCED COMPUTER-RELATED SKILLS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE THAT THEY HAVE IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC PURCHASING POWER!

IT IS NOT JOBS THAT THE BLACK PEOPLE IN AFRICA NEEDS! BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO OWN AND CONTROL BUSINESSES/INSTITUTIONS - SETTING THE FOUNDATION FOR INTER-GENERATIONAL WEALTH AND PARLAYING THIS ECONOMIC POWER TO POLITICAL POWER!

Here's a stop gap remedy. Raise the sales tax by 8%. Citizens of SA pay the original tax and the proceeds from the increased tax on visitors will be distributed to citizens.
And that would ultimately kill the South African economy. South Africa already has a high unemployment rate… so just imagine what would happen if all the foreign companies exited the country because of such a tax, not to mention all the tourists that would no longer visit? You guys can’t even fix your damn electrical grid and you think that you could really survive without any foreign investment/tourism. You’re delusional.
Its normal to pay those prices here in the west! Maybe if locals could pay lower prices than tourist this would solve it ? Tourism boost the economy so it going away isn't a solution to helping Africa.
The Western tourists aren’t the ones visiting your country and committing crimes… that would be immigrants from other African countries. Western tourists aren’t the ones unable to support themselves who create a strain on the local government… that would be immigrants from other African countries. Western tourists aren’t the ones raising the prices of everything… that would be your greedy local businesses and fellow citizens who intentionally overcharge foreigners, which thereby raises the price for everyone. Stop blaming Westerners for your own problems. If Westerners all left South Africa and stopped visiting then you’d still have all the same issues and even more.
But the problem is not with the tourists but rather with the companies and shops that inflatw prices...we should not chase the digital nomads but rather penalise companies that inflate prices ,it really doesnt help to chase the nomads, for sure they are not even aware that prices are inflated....but the biggest problem is with these companies that inflate
We as South Africans should be embarrassed that these people can so easily enter and live in South Africa while ee get 0.0% of the same privileges. We are in fact treated like criminals when applying to enter their countries

Not really my last 2 uber drivers are from Africa. Many African brothers and sisters in England have jobs. It's nice to see. Most people here are against attrociaties what's going on against black people. I don't stand against rasicm. Part of plan is to divide everybody into group so it's easier to control.
Cape Town has always been Europe literally still a British Colony but it’s becoming more filled with white Americans who overstay like most Europeans in Africa already. White Americans are just joining in droves which is what I noticed in Botswana too.
It won’t be noticed for years since other Africans as we know are the targets.
From visiting Cape Town I notice that the local Africans can’t even live in decent neighbourhoods unless it’s one in a million because they also keep upper class areas “white” with gentrification.
It’s literally Europe with a better aesthetic, better weather, cheaper property and better quality of life.
It will only get worse as more from the West (Europe, America, Canada) flee to many nations outside and especially the East (Africa,Asia,Middle East and at times South America or Eastern Europe) to live decent lives outside of the West especially with remote work etc
Africa is becoming gentrified especially Southern Africa while the West declines.
They’re going to infiltrate from within and then literally keep the original natives of the land out. This can’t go on. They need to reform their policies and government. This here needs to be stopped ASAP.
THE SOLUTION IS FOR US TO BE WELL EDUCATED AND CONTINUALLY HAVE CHILDREN!

Coming from a tourist town, I can relate to high prices and unaffordable housing. However, tourism brings millions/billions into the economy. With this said, I’m sure SA is aware of this issue.
Of course, I agree completely. Countries like Spain and Italy lost the character of their art cities because of mass tourism but they gain 70-150 billion dollars in revenues.
Did you even finish watching the video? She clearly said that the problem wasn’t tourism, the problem is that these non-black tourists overstay their time limit and just begin to live there while not even paying taxes. An influx of people who don’t pay taxes brings DOWN an economy, not up

2 bedroom chalets available in Pretoria for digital nomads. Stunning Mountain Views. Fully Furnished. Electricity, water, Wi-Fi, swimming pool, laundry service, security included !! Only $1050 or R20 000!!!
It's not only tourists hiking prices, internal migration (semigration) by locals is high too. Tourist are mostly in specific places but cost of housing has skyrocketed in the whole of Cape Town. Cost of living in general in SA has increased quite rapidly over the past few years.. Are local businesses taking advantage of the influx of tourist, most definitely.. But that's a given almost anywhere especially given the state of the economy.
The gentrification is from all angles.. Digital Nomads are just a small fraction of a larger issue...
100% in agreement
As a South African, this is good for our economy. Digital nomads you are all welcome! One day, by the grace of God, we can turn Johannesburg into Cape Town and be a prime destination for digital nomads.
It's not because now capetown is becoming more and more expensive that the locals can't afford

I was afraid that something like this would happen. Bcuz White people will over pay when things are cheaper -mexico. Also I saw it happening when black people were coming to buy homes in S Africa and i know those white realtor are jacking up the prices, bcuz some of those prices for home was starting to look like American price range. And i know that can cause division with our cousins and us. Hopefully we will start businesses and hire our own people. Bcuz going to another country to live there and over paying is no different from what is going on here in the bay area. Thats how i got pushed out of my apartment complex. Over priced apartments, overrated bay area.
All this paying higher prices for everything is to push out the locals.

I am so tired of locals with this same complaint against digital nomads. The problem is not the digital nomads. The problem is the business people in your countries that capitalize off of digital nomads at the expense of the locals. Another issue I have is that people around the world need to be more proactive economically and stop being victims. Migration is human nature. To expect humans to stay put is unreasonable and for those of you in countries experiencing inflation from this, blame the businesses. That is unethical to raise prices just because you can. The frustration is directed at the wrong people.
It’s not their problem! The biggest problem to this issue is the politicians who made these rules!!!!

It appears that 2024 housing affordability index No in Cape Town is about 5.4, meaning that it takes 5.4 years of average salary to buy an average house. Compare that to Sydney at 20.
This is happening in the USA as well: richer people moving into small town America and pricing locals out of the affordable life they once enjoyed.
They should just charge the foreigners more and the local at a lower rate. Like in Cuba make a local dollar and a foreign dollar. Use the economics and start to regularize them and tax them and they don't just carry that but much more is coming with them.
This is what they do in South America. People there getting priced out. So basically they are raising prices because...tourists? Meanwhile the regulars can't afford the same thing. Hoo boy...
I went to Cape Town back in 08 and it was already hard for locals to live inside the city so I wouldn’t blame nomads.

It's really a their fault if prices go up, it's the business greed. If there's a problem with taxes make them pay taxes. Charge them fees if they over stay their 90 days. Charge the laws and don't just complain about it. 120RND is about $5 to $6, so if a Caffe shop can get 120RND and the regular price is 40RND. It's self explaining.
That is why it is of utmost importance to secede the Western Cape.
Cape Town is very expensive as a South African. I came from Johannesburg where the cost of living is far less. Just rental and buying a home isn't the same. In Cape Town you will find a 1-2 bedroom apartment going to R1.8-2million plus while in Johannesburg you can get a 3-4 bedroom place for the same amount. It is ridiculously expensive and it is because there are no tourist and local prices. Tourist get overcharged and we must also by default, that is madness.
...the worst part is that, salaries are low in Cape Town on average compared to Joburg. Cape Town is for tourists with foreign currencies that are stronger than the Rand...or just insanely rich tourists
Colonisation by the back door. This is what Nkrumah warned us about!!
Require visas, only locals can have business, advise to leave after 90 days.
GET THE BRICS monetary system in place. Protect the locals and charge taxes ASAP
That is Total Discrimination and Not Fair.
I see in one video their want the independence of cap town😅😅
They are allowed to dream...It is their Constitutional right 😄
They don't pay tax? Wow! So why are the authorities of South Africa allowing that?
Only residents pay taxes. If someone is a tourist they are not responsible for paying taxes in a foreign country. Digital nomads work online, which allows them to travel around, and that doesn’t mean because someone is a digital nomad they’re living in South Africa full-time. Many digital nomads stay in one country for 1-3 months and then travel to another country, and besides that whatever foreign countries that visit have no entitlement to their salaries via taxes based their income is foreign-based and they’re not residents of that country, meaning they don’t live there permanently.
That’s nonsense. If they are working they SHOULD be paying tax. That’s how it is in a sane society but these ppl get treated like they are special simply because they are pale. So disgusting.
Nigerian government charges anyone coming in from the US, UK, Asia, etc, anything from $300 and up. Why did I think every nation does this?
Well, no one wants to visit Nigeria anyway😂 so it really doesn’t matter. Westerners hear Nigeria and scammers come to thought. Besides that, Nigeria doesn’t have a tourist problem (as if you can even call having Western tourists a problem) and their economy is 💩. Just look at the ongoing nationwide protests in Nigeria about the economy and job market… so I guess that’s what South Africans want (a weaker economy) as opposed to tourists.

Unfortunately, most African countries are taking that move without consulting the indigenous or assessing the impact on them. If they will not let us in their cihntries why should we? .

They have no faith in us Africans but their colonial masters as the saviours of Africa.

And that would ultimately kill the South African economy.
