Is it true that it's dangerous in Johannesburg?
@@HireYourSelfWithCarlos JHB is safe I'm telling you
@@shirleyntlonti4416 okay coz everyone keeps saying it dangerous. U been there to?
@@HireYourSelfWithCarlos JHB cbd is dangerous coz it's only illegal immigrants who live there they can kill you for a cellphone. But there's Sandton or Centurion it's safe that side.
Hi Shirley
Yes! We were at Rosebank today. We are totally loving Jozi!
What I like about your content is that you are talking to people. I like it when foreigners talk to me and want to learn about my culture and tradition. As South Africans we have so much to share with the world. Please talk to us, ask us as many questions as you possibly can. Don't learn from videos of people who have never been to Africa. Thank you for the video.
I love how South Africans say "Yheeesss" 😂
😂😂 leave us alone
@@lethabopsalm5844 🤣🤣
How do we say "Yes" 🤣😂🤣
Yebo yessss 😁
Yheeeees! 😂 please I never even noticed we did that
Looks hella fun man, SA is definitely on my list. Not to mention all the fine ladies 😉😁👍 Thanks for the vid!
Man I appreciate you sharing light on this city, never visited though beautiful people beautiful scenery
Those guy you talked to was cool as hell. 😂😂

Thanks for showing Africa to the world, especially for the African Diaspora who have been brainwashed to think Africa is a terrible, backward, disease infested continent. Safe travels bro. God Bless🙏.
shut up your mouth. what stops your govt from showing your guys
Yea its good if your black. If your white I wouldnt recommend this racist country
There is good news, many of us African Americans know now that we've been lied to. We see there is a lot more to Africa that we were lead on to believe. And more and more of us try to reconnect with africans and our african roots. I'll be going to South Africa in the future.
This was built by the white man. 😆 🤣
@@troystpaul100 So what?We can live as Brothas and sistas it's all good!
Sly I have been watching your travel videos and its always refreshing to see black men travel through different countries, documenting their journey and experience as you know our content is the least available out there. I would like to welcome you to my home country and I hope you will have one of the best experience of your life because SA is quite interesting and exciting country to visit.

I love that you spoke to those cleaning ladies
I doesn't matter what country you go to in Africa you can bet your buck an average person is bilingual.
OMG! I love ❤ SA 😍
As a South African 🇿🇦 I'm humbled thank 🙏 u

Man, this neighborhood gives off from Brooklyn, NY energy.
Sly got people calling him all sorts-of stuff and he think they just saying hi😂 (I’m joking)
Yes Rosebank has Brooklyn vibes but on a smaller scale, I am a Johannesburg native currently based in Ireland and I was in Bed Stuy in early June 22, also walked around Brooklyn neighbourhood, I was there back 2005 and the place felt different this time around 😊
Hey Sly, how long you planning on staying in Jhb for? I ask so I can give you some good tips and pointers.
Can you give please give me some? I'll be there in a week.
@@daibm5392 Jhb only or Cape Town as well?
@@Van_Wilder what kind of pointer would you give for a first timer wanna to visit Johannesburg? Coz I keep hearing from other vloger I should not visit coz it to dangerous
@@HireYourSelfWithCarlos look, it all depends on what kind of experience you hoping to get out of your trip to SA. I lived most of my life in Cape Town and almost 16 years in Johannesburg. If you have limited time, I would say skip Johannesburg and just spend all your time in Cape Town (and that’s me trying not to be bias) most visitors that go to Johannesburg do everything that’s listed on trip advisor such as Apartheid Museum, Vilikazi Street in Soweto (Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s home etc). If you really must go to Jhb then what you should know is the following: Jhb is divided into 5 parts…JHB North (the upper class and where all the top bars, clubs and restaurants are), JHB South, East Rand, West Rand and JHB central. Jhb central also has a few happening spots such as Braamfontein on a Saturday (visit the neighbourgoods market and surrounding pubs) and on a Sunday, you can visit Maboneg Precinct (also a market, bars, restaurants and rooftop bars etc) note that any other day of the week in the same area becomes a little less safe to walk. But again, if your time is limited and you are a social type of person that likes to go out and about, then I would just checkout all the places in Jhb north. To answer your question if JHB is dangerous. I’d say, if your a tourist, travelling alone and don’t know your way around (and it’s obvious that you cannot blend in with the locals) then you are asking for unnecessary trouble - unless you operate in Jhb North (Sandton and surrounds) but even then be careful. Nothing has ever happened to me in the 16 years i lived there but I am a firm believer that a person that is overly fearful about their surroundings attract danger. Cape Town is by far the better option and has lots to offer but to enjoy it to the fullest, it’s best you rent a hired car or be prepared to pay for longer distances via Uber. In addition, Cape Town has many dangerous areas but you have no reason to go anywhere near of them - so stick to the tourist spots and you’ll be fine. Food is the same price in Cape Town as what it’s is in Jhb (despite what others might tell you). Also, many black people in particular will say that Cape Town is racist…this is not true (the isolated incidents of racism exists all across the country but are far and few between). Many people of colour in South Africa still play the victim card, sighting all whites are racist…don’t listen to them it simply isn’t true and it’s time they get over themselves and move on as there are more people im this country that strive towards achieving that vision of a true rainbow nation. I will say this though, Jhb is by far more cosmopolitan (diverse) with many cultures and nationalities coming together (one huge melting pot). Racism is rare but classism is a real thing in both major cities. Some would argue it’s the same thing but I somewhat disagree. By classism I mean, people unconsciously are accepting of anyone who looks the part, dresses the part and hang out at similar places, irrespective of skin colour. One thing about SA though that is quite sad, on the dating scene or social scene, people are very superficial (especially in JHB) in the sense that it’s all about the car they drive, the job title or the suburb in which they live…and single woman in particular will sniff out that information in less than 5min to figure out if you worth their time. Stay clear of such woman. I don’t want to put you off JHb as JHb has its own appeal and also a lot to offer BUT it’s best if you can connect with a local to show you around and not try to figure it out on your own. Where as in CT, you could easily get away with having a solo trip and making the most. Last bit not least (STAY AWAY FROM DURBAN) boring as hell. Best way to compare the two cities is this…think of it this way…JHb is 5 times bigger than CT and as such, 5 times the size, 5 times bigger in infrastructure, 5 times more cars on the road, 5 times more accidents, 5 times more people and 5 times more crime. So for every one breaking-in entry you’ll hear about in CT or every robbery, you would hear of 5 in JHb. Now this isn’t entirely true and somewhat exaggerated but it’s something that stuck with me when I first moved to JHB and makes perfect sense…so don’t be alarmed by the stats - they often far from true.
I'm keen as for Jburg 🇿🇦
Ng passed a street called Smut Ave and didn't even flinch 💀💀
Great content as usual omeeeee i hope you make it down to do a video of soweto !
I need your contact please. My friend from Alabama wants to visit South Africs
Hey yah, I am South African and we can hook you up:-)😃
Contact 'The Real South Africa' AA tourism company on youtube channel for an unforgettable experience
Lovely. Thank you
Give Monte Casino a visit, it's also a vibe
Man you do a whole lot of walking boy😂
Get some numbers sly, don’t let them walk by like that lol
Yow chaga nga bro 😂
💪🇿🇦
I watched about four of your videos now and they all seem to be on a Sunday and you always say that it’s dead because it’s a Sunday so I’m just wondering why you always make videos on a Sunday or maybe I just haven’t watched in the videos anyway I love your content. Thank you for your videos.
is your camera in your glasses
Govt corruption is killing Johannesburg. Did you go to Hillbrow or Yeoville?
Hello brother
Thanks a lot I didn’t see my city for almost 22 year - it a good way to see what’s happening there because the media show a different picture 🫶🏿
So my question is. How much can $10 dollars buy in Johannesburg? Where Im living as an American ex pat in South America , I can get breakfast and a big lunch for about $15 a day. Is micro economics similar in price out there>>
Hi there. 10USD can feed 2 people for the all day in Johannesburg 🇿🇦. Unless you decide to always eat at those upmarket restaurants where 10$ can feed just one person a day. I'm a DRC 🇨🇩 national who lives in Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦.Thanks.🙏🤝

Wasn't he scared walking around with the camera
If you get robbed in Rosebank then you deserve to be robbed😂
@@roblucci2366 Same as in Pretoria CBD. people walk around with their gadgets freely and enjoy free interment provided by the city and private companies.
Man recorded in Joburg downtown, a serious feat on its own. What's Rosebank? 😂😂
Why do you Edit so much
Hii Bro please reach me out I just want to talk to you 🙏🙏
Americans have zero clue when it comes to South Africa. Rosebank is not even Johannesburg it’s a small exclusive suburb.
It is a Joburg suburb thou,same as Sandton, Fourways, Bedfordview etc
Damn I love curvy women.
Beautiful country unfortunately plagued with rampant crime and grime. Stay safe
Crime statistics are heavily skewed and your comment is from a western deluded point of view.
@@zicodasilva1496Only thing skewed about statistics in SA is a useless government trying to hide it's failures together with its useless police service. Go educate yourself on reported stats at SAPS.gov.za keeping in mind that many crimes are not reported due to a lack of confidence in a failing, inefficient and incompetent police service.....nothing delusional or Westernized about making everyone (particularly tourists) aware that between 67 and 71 individuals are murdered daily and that 150 women are raped daily......(as reported in police stats and the SA media) ......with SA ranked crime capital of the world. Diminishing and distorting the realities that SA communities face daily is very typical of the useless and failing anc government. Candy coating is delusional
@@zicodasilva1496 I wonder which country is not plagued with crime, anyways we move...
Better be aware of xenophobia. Make sure everyone knows you are a black American, not African
Are you saying South Africans are the most colonised Africans on the continent?
what do you mean? the vending stalls as you see them are operated by foreign nationals not SA citizens. If we are xenophobic why would we allow them to run their business in Rosebank?
South Africa is giving you chest pains HEAL
Lmaooo what? Consequences of sitting on your brain. U type amasimba
@@100maglev9 Maybe he means, make sure he's not confused with Nigerians? I heard there have been tensions....
This place and these guys dont give off an African vibe..I don't why they seem too American, European or might I said colonizer type
Aibo wena 💀 global awareness is a thing yoh.
@@SinoM123 if its a thing I believe all Africans know about it ..or is it restricted to SA ?
are you expecting a hut like structure and see us dressed in lion and leopard skin!!. Zulus actually dress like that, if we dress like that you will never set your foot in SA again. We have our heritage day when we uphold our culture and dress in our traditional attires sir. 🤔
@@Sparxx74 I'm sorry but Africans aren't a monolith. We are allowed to be who we want to be without being policed. I find it very sad that you cast aspersions so readily. It's rather ignorant. Also as a multicultural nation we've formed "bridges" of a kind in order to live well and peaceably with one another and if those bridges seem 'coloniser' to you then that's unfortunate. Maybe visit first before being quick to draw conclusions.
Where are you from buddy?
Speaking facts if you want a real African vibe go to West Africa because South Africa is like something else that is why many get suprised when they get here.
love your videos, do you post on instagram too?
Lot of exercising u coin there walk-in thoz streetz
Cool vibes Watching from Brazil....... Africa to the World.....
They are incredibly smart on average person there speaking six or seven languages 🌄🦍
Stay Woke out there 👑🙌🏾🙏 That's my town for 27 years

@@tua-tuna you are talking about another one maybe. Not that bother
we love the brother in SA, and he loves SA
homie said "if you not afraid go to sowetto" lmao
Lmao. At least he gave Sly a disclaimer. The guy n gal at Chunky Chow were vibez though.
Watching your videos has made me feel so patriotic
You should do Cape Town(the most beautiful city on the planet) and Durban
Durban > Capetown
The Tribes in South Africa came from the Zulu tribe and migrated and some came from Lesotho and botswana
Yinyani nah le ithethwa nguwe? Which history is this one?
👀
@@MegaNanoT they decided to lie unprovoked 😂
@@MegaNanoT Its not a lie really what she means most South Africans are Nguni not just in RSA but in Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe these Nguni peoples scattered beacause of the Mfecane wars when Shaka Zulu was combining Nguni tribes and forming the Zulu Kingdom.
So its the truth that,s why even Zulu people in RSA are over 10 miilion the biggest tribe due to that work in the 1800s, before then there was no Zulu kingdom before Shaka Zulu. So most of these Nguni people joined other Bantu tribes like Sotho,etc and others just relocated away from eastern south africa.
@@sphethobuthelezi719 go back and learn your history Bru and stop defending lies....but again you can continue with the lie.

Nice... liked it! Keep going bro
i'd go down there and get me some slay queens hahaha (learned that on family fued Africa)

The women in south Africa are more feminine and have better physiques than African American women.
