    South Africans we need to wake up and start telling people about our country cause our African brothers and sisters are trying to do so on our behalf, I appreciate that but they are failing us when it comes to name pronunciation and the history nje

      I hear you. We tend to keep to ourselves waaaay to much. Which is both a good and a bad thing. South Africans are more worried about SA than the rest of the world. It’s the same reason why you barely ever see us doing country comparison videos and all those things. Even though some of us are well traveled.

    It was fascinating watching the Durban section, because I was born there in 1948 and lived there for fourteen years, when my parents and I moved to the UK. That is to say, I was a child and boy during the apartheid years (though not knowing that at the time). It was very much an English enclave, as also the whole of Natal (Kwa-Zulu Natal now), with very little involvement with Afrikanerdom. The city was very lovely, though of course white-controlled, and, now, gosh, just in this snippet, the city is entirely unrecognisable and, quite rightly, belonging to the African peoples. Robert, 74, UK.

I do remember that around the Christmas period in Durban you'd go to the beach with just some cooked chicken and crisps because it was so hot, as was the sand, on which you hopped from one place to another using a towel. It was so wonderful to dive into the sea.

    people of Johannesburg in particular / - in the summer flood to Cape Town - even though Durban is closer
    SO it is what it is - even Durban people will rather spend their holiday
    in fact all South Africans would come down to Cape Town if the budget allows it

    So Polokwane is pronounced: Pollo-kwahneh, and
    (2) as a Durban born and bred South African aka Durbanite, living in Cape Town for the past 29 years, the top 3 cities in South Africa, in order, are: (1) Durban (2) Cape Town (3) Joburg and all 3 cities are a must for any tourist.
