Normally I wouldn't be bothered but this has been one of the most balanced and true videos I have seen in a while. Many more +and - to that place. Well done!
A much awaited vlog from you Sasha. I wouldn't even call it a vlog, it's a complete TV documentary made by one person. The effort you put into editing doesn't go unnoticed. Please keep it up the great work.
You're definitely not a hit-and-run vlogger. You took your time explaining the nuances, history, population dynamics, SA cuisine, diverse landscapes, vibrant cities as well as the inequality. Well done! Siyabonga 🙏🏾
@siphamandlamkhize9766 Yeah he didn't get some things 100% correct, but he definitely put in a lot of time and effort into this video, which still left me impressed. I don't think short form youtube videos should be long documentaries.

I was very surprised to see what it looks like in downtown Johannesburg as this was one of those places you avoided at all costs. I myself couldn't believe what I saw. Everything in your video was excellent: the points of interest and prime places (also the dodgy places), the beautiful views, the trails, and the delightful relaxation spots for tourists or just local vacationers, your descriptions... This is what one can expect from great drone coverage (videography) and someone who has done his homework well. An excellent production 10/10.

This is the best marketing South Africa can ever get. I have never seen such great documentary of this country. Thank you. Nobody made a better documentary then this one. Think you. Anneke Jo'burg
This is an awesome video on SA. As a South African, I can honestly say this video is extremely fair and accurate. Thank you A few knit pointing facts: 1. The San people were first in SA . The Khoi-Khoi and San people are different, and they are not coloured people 2 Initially, there were 11 official languages and subsequently Sign language was added to make it 12 languages 3 Tortoises are found in the Kruger Park (turtles are marine living, while tortoises are a land species and terrapin live in fresh water). 4 Visit L'Agulus which is the further most point in Southern Africa where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. (Cape point is NOT the Southerrn most point of Africa) 5 SAfricans are known for their hospitality and friendliness. Sadly, there is a lot of crime, so you have to becareful who you befriend. Thank you for a well balanced video.
Thanks for the well balanced and detailed coverage of each city. One thing that stood out from peoples opinion was how warm hearted and open the people are.✌
As an American, who has been visiting SA for the past 20 years, South Africa is the greatest country ever. However, they are letting the gangsterism get out of control, and ruin their country
We fight Them Western Media, Africa and Some Black American calls us Xenophobic.Go Figure.Now you are ALL Waking UP. It is THE Invasion of the illegal Impoverished AFRICA /Asia like Zimbabweans and Neighbouring Countries that Exacebate Crime do not Forget West Africans with their Drugs/Human Smuggliing/identity theft and a lot More.
As a South African travel vlogger, I want to thank you for this video showcasing our country in the manner you did. We get a lot of negative publicity in the wider media so this is refreshing to see. The magic of South Africa gets even better outside the cities - the small towns and villages in the countryside and along the coast. Safe travels!
The way you went to an entire location that took hours and put it in for just a few seconds led to a Bam Bam Bam! of awesome stuff to see and do. You showed the true South Africa I thought was only crime. Thank you. You're best vlog to date.. I looked back and it had been 30 mins and felt like 3. So, much, awesomeness.
A great insightful and honest video about SA. I really dislike when people overlook the crime that takes place across SA. I love your honesty and your videos. SA is on my bucket list. Hopefully things will improve by the time I event go for a visit
Never heard Durban called remote. It is one of our biggest cities and can easily be reached by car in a few hours from Johannesburg and of course by plane. It also has a massive port.
The city centre of Durban I would stay away from to be completely honest with you, but the outer parts of Durban like Umhlanga and Hillcrest and then moving North to Ballito those places are lovely and then of course our beautiful Drakensberg Mountains and The Midlands, absolutely stunning there.
@@Tanya-f3nthis narrative is annoying and often comes from those who rarely visit Durban! The beachfront is amazing and I'd certainly recommend anyone coming to KZN visit it. Take a walk, a cycle or skateboard along it. Have a meal at the many restaurants and maybe pop into uShaka Marine World. Then there is the Florida Road area that was touched on and the Botanic Gardens.
This video is the best overall introduction to South Africa I've ever seen. Thank you for making it and please make more videos on South Africa. BTW, does anyone know what the music playing at the end of the video is?
The best documentary I have seen on South Africa. The level of research and coverage is outstanding. Every aspect of it was brilliant and unbiased. A truly sterling job and I am pleased that you came to visit our beautiful and vibrant shores. It made me even more proud to be a South African than I already am. I read many of the previous comments and agree with every one of them, unfortunately, but true, including those on the levels of crime. Mervyn Nel - South African author.
Fantastic video. As a former South African, I really enjoyed this video. It was nice seeing familiar places. Some have changed, and some have remained the same. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to live there for 20 years. Greatest days of my life.
Very good video. Balanced content and a funny line at 45:46 "In South African English they have their own local words like bakkie meaning a pickup truck, a robot means street light and if someone asks you for a cool drink that means they want some money from you." Hilarious😆
My parents lived in Ponty Towers many years ago when i was a baby. Thanks for this video, you truelly do show the reality of our country. Many others have tried to portray our country and failed. "Pub crawl the wine farms" 🥰
Khoisan aren't Coloured. They still exist as Khoisan. They became mostly assimilated with both black and coloured people but they still exist as an individual ethnicity
KHOISAN..are NOT Coloured people...Also being Khoe and being San/Abathwa are two totally different African groups ..one is a hunter gatherer and the other is pastoralist..Also they didnt like each other because Abathwa/San use to steal/hunt cattle from the Khoe..
Great video, I agree durban, has an endless summer and is an amazing place to enjoy the warm ocean. When you back should to more of Kwazulu Natal it is a special jewel of the world
@realcoolvision nice video, but when you visit another country, please do in debt research first. It's very easy to understand why SA has so much crime. It will get worse as time goes on because the majority of people in the country will remain at the bottom of the pyramid. And the minority people who created the problem will always remain at the top. That's the honest truth.
So i decided to give this video a second chance after realising it was made by one of my favourite TH-cam travel vloggers. Apart from having taken issue with a single comment in an earlier post, I found this to be one of the most impressive travel vlog videos of my country, if not the best one you’ll find anywhere on the internet (well done 👍🏻) I first came across your channel many years ago shortly after spending an entire summer in Russia and watching your videos often felt for me like retracing my steps in the various cities. Respect to Adam for taking you to Cosy Corner and for inviting you to his home for a braai. Once again, you did an excellent job on showcasing South Africa - much respect ✊🏼
I'm sooo glad that a foreign white person was able to move around Joburg CBD, especially some of the not so nice parts(and you were safe). You even explored Soweto, my birth place...awesome. To help you integrate better, let me help you say Steyn, the Mzansi way. You must pronounce it like you would 'stain'.❤
Wow I'm so impressed with your tour, as a South African we get sick of the usual vitriol that is spewed out by so many who come here, Thank you this has really been a pleasure to watch, I reckon the SA government will do well to use your video for tourism, this is real and accurate. Bless you
Hey Slava, I just had to reach out and tell you how much I love your videos! Your storytelling skills are incredible, and you have a way of making every subject so interesting and easy to understand. It's clear that you put your heart and soul into your work, and that's what makes your videos such a joy to watch.

Thank you, thank you😊 what a wonderful wonderful comment. I was worried this video came out a little bit negative. And that’s not something I’m going for. I have more videos from South Africa coming and I’ll try to balance the positive and negative.
@@realcoolvision No worries!

It's refreshing to see a more realistic portrayal of the country, and I think it makes your videos much more relatable and interesting to watch.
Thanks!! Interesting seeing my home country from a different perspective. Yes, Joburg CBD is completely broken and we battled to sell my parent's house last year in an old Johannesburg suburb close to the CBD. The architect designed the Union Buildings in your Pretoria segment. Unfortunately there is no maintenance and infrastructure is crumbling. Corruption is endemic. But, glad you made the trip! I don't live there anymore, but it will always be home and Africa never leaves one. Did your wife and daughter go with you?
I enjoyed that you covered my two homes - Durban and Pretoria. Usually these kinds of videos only cover JHB and CPT. Durban is an amazing place to visit.
Alvaro here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I have been waiting for this banger hope you didn’t forget me 😂😂😂it was nice seeing you 😂🔥🔥thanks for sharing with the guys all this rich history
I left forty Australia at the ripe old age of fifty two. I was held up at gunpoint seven times. Had my house broken into three times and four cars stolen. Australia is great. Less stressful but I miss Africa. The beauty. The people and all the wild animal’s we took for granted
I'm retired at 47, This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to having over 65,000 biweekly profit, a honest partner and a good daughter full of love ❤
I can still remember the exact feeling on my biggest payday in the market. Imagine taking home $407k just from 12k initial deposit. For the newbies I'll encourage anyone to embrace copytrade as the best approach especially when you're a newbie
ABSOLUTELY NO SOUTH AFRICAN CAN OR WILL FAULT YOU!!! You were unbiased, interacted with locals (who trusted you enough into their home), knew our history and not once did you make snotty comments. It was absolutely brilliant! I'll subscribe and refer to your videos on my next travels.
@sekatimangena2671 the khoi and Sans are not Coloureds, black people lived with khoi and Sans people for centuries before whites came , u clearly were not listening to the video, and u failed to pick it's intentions from the beginning
What is there to be objective about? How can you live in Africa but you don’t want to live with Africans? Go back to Europe then, that’s where we belong anyway.
Great video! Well thought and unbiased, honest view of SA. Haven’t seen a video like this on YT. I won’t be skipping ads and I hope others watching will do the same ❤🇿🇦
Thank you very much Slava for this fantastic and professional video. You are a great youtuber! South Africa is really a country with many contrasts, but its beauty is undoubtedely something special. I wish you Happy New Year 2025 full of everything you wish ⭐️ 💕 🎄
Hi . I also agree that this is the good marketing for South Africa. I am a South African living between Johannesburg and East London. I have been to all the places in the video except Mpumalanga. You presented South Africa well. There is hope in this country but it is messed up by politicians, black and white regardless of their political ideologies.
He says about part of Cape Town, that there is "a heavy security presence, therefore safety is not a concern." That implies that WITHOUT a heavy security presence, safety IS a concern.
South Africa is a land of contrasts and wonders-where vibrant cities meet breathtaking landscapes, rich culture thrives, and every corner offers a new adventure. Truly a bucket-list destination ❤️🇧🇩
I'm American and have fallowed SA practicly all my adult life ,always wanted to visit or maybe even live in SA and I must admit that in the last few years the press has been so negative that I had given up on that desire. So I want to thank you for your positive and detailed report and for changing my opinion about SA.
Very informative. My wife who lived there would like it. Check out Ecuador in a future trip, it has crime but it's a bit safer than S.A. I can give you tips and who to meet if you should decide to go. All the best, Craig
SA doesn't have domestic terrorist attacks and Muslims, Christians etc live in harmony. Also, the crime is due to poverty but we never have shooters taking machine guns unto schools or malls. Even the traffic police will never randomly shoot or body slam you for no reason. So there are different levels of safety in comparison with the US for example
The video was visually impressive, no doubt. It's sad that he had to punctuate every positive with a (but) negative. Showing an armed guard in a mall, really? Blackouts? Tourist kidnapping? ANC a TOTAL failure then shows great roads and infrastructure throughout the country. Elon Musk and Orina get positive captions, but black drug abusers and alcoholics are frequently profiled. Pretoria was the worst portrayed - 2nd most dangerous city? Smell of urine in the square - the city deserved better.
For those wondering, the reason that the Western Cape generally looks better than the rest of South Africa, is due to the Democratic Alliance (political party) running the province as opposed to the ANC (political party) ruling the rest of South Africa. The Western Cape once looked like the rest of South Africa because they were also under the ANC rule until they realised the ANC’s incompetence and elected the DA in 2006. In that space of time, the Western Cape has become the best run province in South Africa.
I'm a South African and I think you gave a really true picture of our beautiful country - the good / the bad and the ugly. It was very balanced and well researched. Great job! There is still no other country I would like to live in though. Please come back and visit us again.

2 Initially, there were 11 official languages and subsequently Sign language was added to make it 12 languages
3 Tortoises are found in the Kruger Park (turtles are marine living, while tortoises are a land species and terrapin live in fresh water).
4 Visit L'Agulus which is the further most point in Southern Africa where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. (Cape point is NOT the Southerrn most point of Africa)

Thanks!! Interesting seeing my home country from a different perspective. Yes, Joburg CBD is completely broken and we battled to sell my parent's house last year in an old Johannesburg suburb close to the CBD. The architect designed the Union Buildings in your Pretoria segment. Unfortunately there is no maintenance and infrastructure is crumbling. Corruption is endemic.
But, glad you made the trip! I don't live there anymore, but it will always be home and Africa never leaves one. Did your wife and daughter go with you?
I enjoyed that you covered my two homes - Durban and Pretoria. Usually these kinds of videos only cover JHB and CPT. Durban is an amazing place to visit.
Well done, you must come back you hear! If you got the time visit Namibia as well!
Great take about the country! As a South African speaking.
I also want to say a big thank you for this wonderful tour of South Africa 🌍 🌍
I'm obsessed with you for this video!! And I'm even more obssessed with you for starting with Joburg!! Thank you😀
Alvaro here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I have been waiting for this banger hope you didn’t forget me 😂😂😂it was nice seeing you 😂🔥🔥thanks for sharing with the guys all this rich history
Hey, what’s up Alvaro. I will show much more of you in my Johannesburg video. How are you doing, bro? 😃
@@realcoolvisionbro we love America 🇺🇸
@@realcoolvisionI am good thanks 🙏 no problem but this was a hit 🎉🎉🎉no cap 🧢
How are you doing as well
For 3 weeks in SA you found most important places and so on point! True stories as well. Great Video
thank you as we are now living in New Zealand and missing home but we made a choice for a safe living.
But I heard that there's a lot of crime in new Zealand particularly in Auckland, how true that is?
Hlalani lapho ningaphinde nibuye!!
Do the people in Christchurch feel safe?
Tshin😂😂
I left forty Australia at the ripe old age of fifty two. I was held up at gunpoint seven times. Had my house broken into three times and four cars stolen. Australia is great. Less stressful but I miss Africa. The beauty. The people and all the wild animal’s we took for granted
Coolvision has never failed when it come to good content keep it man, i din't know South Africa was this beautiful
Nice, what are your thoughts on the video and South After as portrayed here?
If you’re still in africa .. pay a visit to nigeria 🇳🇬 and you will tell a different story what a beautiful nation ❤
What a wonderful surprise!? Interesting place South 🇿🇦 Africa.
Wow, I had no idea just how beautiful south Africa is, until this video.
Grateful for your perspective Slava, it's the best.
What are your thoughts on the video and South Africa as portrayed here?
I'm retired at 47, This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to having over 65,000 biweekly profit, a honest partner and a good daughter full of love ❤
I can still remember the exact feeling on my biggest payday in the market. Imagine taking home $407k just from 12k initial deposit. For the newbies I'll encourage anyone to embrace copytrade as the best approach especially when you're a newbie
🙏*12k to 407k is significant increase. My first copytrade wasn't profitable. Please share who you copytrade *
I'm highly inspired. Please spill some sugar about the bi-weekly stuff you mentioned
I only copytrade one manager
"He's mostly on the telegrams with his ID Below
Soo happy that I featured in your Vlog 🎉
This beautiful vlog made me to visit beautiful South Africa 🇿🇦,planning some day Thanks 🙏 for this beautiful vlog
You may never want to return home
I would LOVE a seperate video about the farm! Excellent video as always 🥳
It's coming. Amazing place full of history
A truly eye-opening, honest and very informative video. Best I`ve seen on SA.
Appreciate that . I have more stuff from South Africa coming. Joburg is next and it’s gonna be very interesting.
This is not an honest video
Wow, this was a wonderful video of Mzansi ... learnt some stuff I did not even know about my country 🇿🇦
My favorite youtuber, finally here and welcome to Africa. Visit ZAMBIA as well, BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND DEVELOPED👌
Nice, what are your thoughts on the video and South Africa as portrayed here?
ABSOLUTELY NO SOUTH AFRICAN CAN OR WILL FAULT YOU!!! You were unbiased, interacted with locals (who trusted you enough into their home), knew our history and not once did you make snotty comments.
It was absolutely brilliant! I'll subscribe and refer to your videos on my next travels.
Comparing Gandhi Square to Times Square is a big stretch. The two are in no way comparable.
I'm South African and I'm learning so much about my own country here.
The best Docu, vlog, etc with full information of our country thank you
Bruh... you are the best. I love 🇿🇦Now i wait for Kenya🇰🇪😎.
Please be careful, he lies so much to push his probaganda, he told lies in this documentary why would you trust he won't lie about Kenya ?
@@siphamandlamkhize9766That's not true, its a balanced perspective of SA....
@sekatimangena2671 the khoi and Sans are not Coloureds, black people lived with khoi and Sans people for centuries before whites came , u clearly were not listening to the video, and u failed to pick it's intentions from the beginning
Heey!! It's here, been anticipating this since your time with David from Living SA TV.
Appreciate it. It was incredibly difficult to put it all in one video.😂
Another great informative video. Thanks for uploading ✌
Great video! I appreciate how you maintained an objective perspective on Orania, unlike many content creators who tend to demonize it.
What is there to be objective about? How can you live in Africa but you don’t want to live with Africans? Go back to Europe then, that’s where we belong anyway.
Great video! Well thought and unbiased, honest view of SA. Haven’t seen a video like this on YT. I won’t be skipping ads and I hope others watching will do the same ❤🇿🇦
Thank you very much Slava for this fantastic and professional video. You are a great youtuber! South Africa is really a country with many contrasts, but its beauty is undoubtedely something special. I wish you Happy New Year 2025 full of everything you wish ⭐️ 💕 🎄
You are always great, you never disappoint. Story narration and picture quality ❤
Hi . I also agree that this is the good marketing for South Africa. I am a South African living between Johannesburg and East London. I have been to all the places in the video except Mpumalanga. You presented South Africa well. There is hope in this country but it is messed up by politicians, black and white regardless of their political ideologies.
He says about part of Cape Town, that there is "a heavy security presence, therefore safety is not a concern." That implies that WITHOUT a heavy security presence, safety IS a concern.
I have never seen a HEAVY security presence in CT not even on the flats. It's not the war zone often portrayed.
Coolvision, your documentary is excellent however please do the affluent Durban Umhlanga area , the Ballito surburb also.👏👏👏
Vyacheslav,
thank you for the inputs and advice. It was knowledgable as was planning a trip to SA.
South Africa is a land of contrasts and wonders-where vibrant cities meet breathtaking landscapes, rich culture thrives, and every corner offers a new adventure. Truly a bucket-list destination ❤️🇧🇩
Big salute to South Africa from North Africa! 🇿🇦🇲🇦
Can't say it enough. You're travel videos are top notch. This video was fantastic brother.
I'm American and have fallowed SA practicly all my adult life ,always wanted to visit or maybe even live in SA and I must admit that in the last few years the press has been so negative that I had given up on that desire. So I want to thank you for your positive and detailed report and for changing my opinion about SA.
Nice, what are your thought on the video and SA as portrayed here?
Frank. the press has always been negative about SA, but that doesn't stop millions from coming to visit, live and retire here.
Been a fan of the channel from Kenya. Great to see you back in Africa
Yes I would love to see a separate video about this beautiful farm and its history
Countries should be sponsoring your videos because there's no better vlogger that's shows a country as simple as you do. Kudos
Very a good production and well rounded. Well done.
Very interesting! Thanks for this informative video!!
Very informative. My wife who lived there would like it. Check out Ecuador in a future trip, it has crime but it's a bit safer than S.A. I can give you tips and who to meet if you should decide to go. All the best, Craig
Cool, what are your thoughts on the video and South Africa as portrayed here?
Am so happy that you apload new video ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was following you on livinginSAtv with David. I was anxiously waiting to watch your documentary....
SA doesn't have domestic terrorist attacks and Muslims, Christians etc live in harmony. Also, the crime is due to poverty but we never have shooters taking machine guns unto schools or malls. Even the traffic police will never randomly shoot or body slam you for no reason. So there are different levels of safety in comparison with the US for example
The video was visually impressive, no doubt. It's sad that he had to punctuate every positive with a (but) negative.
Showing an armed guard in a mall, really? Blackouts? Tourist kidnapping? ANC a TOTAL failure then shows great roads and infrastructure throughout the country. Elon Musk and Orina get positive captions, but black drug abusers and alcoholics are frequently profiled.
Pretoria was the worst portrayed - 2nd most dangerous city? Smell of urine in the square - the city deserved better.
Brilliant Video...authentic as they come!
For those wondering, the reason that the Western Cape generally looks better than the rest of South Africa, is due to the Democratic Alliance (political party) running the province as opposed to the ANC (political party) ruling the rest of South Africa. The Western Cape once looked like the rest of South Africa because they were also under the ANC rule until they realised the ANC’s incompetence and elected the DA in 2006. In that space of time, the Western Cape has become the best run province in South Africa.
Really then the beautiful town that I live in SA must be in mars after all only DA city exist in SA!
Nothing better for people living in the ghettos of western cape
Clearly it's not best run in the Cape Flats
What about Khayelisha,Cape flats and town ships?
