Being a South African and we generally only see the doom and gloom bad news stories etc. It is incredibly refreshing to hear from visitors their positive experiences, smiled through the whole video
Thanks for watching!
I know it really nice to hear the good things about South Africa because currently we not in a good place 😢
Visiters , just visit.
Pop over to Lesotho... 😂
Refreshing indeed, but visitors must understand that what is cheap to them may be expensive to those earning South African rands. Our annual salary increases do not match the high inflation rates. The higher than ever exchange rates go a long way to make things even cheaper for visitors, but many locals have to tighten their belts...Not trying to be negative - just giving a realistic context for tourists. Please come and support our economy!
This is probably the most/only down to earth American review of Johannesburg SA I've seen and it doesn't even make me cringe. Nice job guys.
We appreciate your kind words
@@ThetheMadunahow are they supposed to do that? 😂
I wholeheartedly agree and have shared it to my newsfeed. You guys should come to Cape Town..... another world
True.

Don’t care what anyone says.
South Africans are by far some of the friendliest people around.
That’s what makes us special 🇿🇦
Glad U guys are making the most of your time in Joburg.
Positive vibes.
Awe 😄
South Africans mistreat foreigners from other neighbouring countries a lot. Just a couple of days ago i saw a video of a driver being told to run away leaving his truck because he was allowed to drive it in South Africa. That can't happen in Zambia. I am not saying we did not have crime here but South Africa is on another level. We can't even forget xenophobia.
@@HenryChitaika ohhh you also forgot to mention that foreigners also mistreat south African and for get that this is not their country, they also don't follow south African laws. The other day I saw a video of Nigerian harassing a police officer because he basted them selling drugs.
@@FTS20 Every country has bad foreigners but you're not going to see citizens taking the law in their own hands burning, starving assumed looting shows of innocent people. If you do not admit that this is wrong you're not going to correct it.
South Africa and Xenophobia are linked but they are also very accepting and nice also they are open to all cultures but Botswana is by far the friendliest country
You guys are so friendly. So heartwarming to hear positive things about my country.
Sidenote: in Woodstock, Cape Town, there is a Cannibas market weekly. The venue is opposite the police station 😊
😂😂 thanks for the tip
key phrase: ....opposite the police station 😂😂
Great review. Please note that we, South Africans hate load shedding. We did not always have it. We have basically been experiencing an incompetent and corrupt government that has messed up a lot of things.. and we hope to get rid of em next year when we vote. Glad you loved your experience :)
Thanks for watching
You won't get rid of the corrupt and incompetent government because the good patriotic voters that care about the country's future are enormously outnumbered by stupid brainless fools that only vote for the ANC or EFF
Please tell everyone to vote DA, as seen in the Western Cape, they get things done. Think if the DA wins next election, loads of the billions of' Rands stolen will be confescated and put to great use to end loadshedding for good, fix the potholes and the rest of the infrastructure, and end unemployment overnight cause they will need people to help build up our beautiful country.
Oh My god. Same here
We always never had load shedding in S.A
We see South Africa 🇿🇦 we like 👍🏾 and we subscribe ❤
Thank you so much
That is so true. Then the kind words or appreciation make us settle.
😂 facts
True 😅
Facts
Being from South Africa myself, we truly appreciate the wonderful feedback you've given on our country. All journalists around the world always focus on the negative, breath of fresh air seeing some good positive feedback provided on a country we love....warts and all❤
I really loved watching this. Love when people from other countries give their perspective. ❤South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for watching
I'm a South African, currently working in Asia and you are so right about the cost of living. I compare everything and find that the cost of living in SA is sooo low compared to here.
When people hear that we are from SA they get such a shock, firstly they cannot believe that SA has white people (lol) and secondly they assume that Africa is rural and don't realize how westernised South Africa really is 🙂
Despite everything that our country has been through, we really have warm and friendly people in South Africa. My husband and I always say how we miss just walking past a random stranger and getting a smile or greeting.
Thanks for the video of our Beautiful country 🇿🇦
PS. You should visit Durban (my hometown) if you are looking for warm weather during the winter, and while you're there, try a bunny chow 🌶🙂
Thanks for watching!
It depends on where you earn your salary too
Good one homie! Durban won't dissappoint! Luv it!❤
The cost of living is subjective.
@@juanitaclaassen1660 it's true, if you earn well above the pay grade it's great if not ,and thats most of us ,we working for food
Thank you guys for your wonderful positive true outlook without criticism view of my country. Yes, I am a white South African, I see what you see and I am not proud of what my country is experiencing. Please go and enjoy the beauty that this country has to offer, look past the negatives. Enjoy. We need this kind of exposure.
Thanks for watching
shalom!
Wat is race gt to do with everything
Really impressed by your content on South Africa. The media really scares people with their content on South Africa, we truly have a beautiful country with beautiful people!
Thanks for watching
🌚You've just earned yourselves a subscriber, not everyone speaks like you about SA. I'm a South African, and I must say, it's good to hear something positive about your country. ❤
Thanks for watching and welcome to the family.
Please dont leave South Africa without visiting Cape Town!
We plan to visit Cape Town
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE And please don't forget Durban 😅
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFESoon?
I think when that person said South Africa is like Europe, they were talking about Cape Town 😂
@@sienavanschoor339 Absolutely 💯 too beautiful
Now these are the people we want to unite with..not those ones who tell us day and night that they can wait for our country to collapse so that we can suffer like them.These are genuine ppl from where I'm standing. Thank God there is black race out there that understands us. God bless them!!
Thanks for watching
Well said 🙌🏾
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE go to cape town
As a South African myself, it was incredible to see such a positive review of the country. Unfortunately this doesn't fully reflect South Africa as there is a lot of poverty, crime and gbv in the northern cape. But I'm glad you're enjoying your time in South Africa and I hope that it continues. I haven't seen if you've been to Caoe Town but it's really beautiful and hopefully you will be able to see why I love this country as much as I do even though it has many faults.
Thanks for watching
I agree fam🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂like its hella fun here 🤣😂🤣😂loads to do and if you are from a first world country all the fun you can have there ….you can have here.BUT this is a very dangerous place 🤣😂🤣😂🤣when i went to the states i was laughing when i told a lady her car was unlocked and she forgot her key inside , she said”i know “ we spoke for a but she cracked up when i told her “in my country we lock our cars INSIDE already locked garages its that bad”
First time I have seen your channel and thanks for an honest report of South Africa. Nice to hear your view of our beautiful country and no 'sugar coating' it. Hope you had a super time here.xx.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for portraying a real RSA not that USA media portray, we LOVE OUR COUNTRY 🇿🇦
Thanks for watching!
We love, love our country.
who is we? best keep the lights on clown
@@groundhogguns5828 says a clown of note
bullshit. "we" do not all love our country. i cant stand living here and the sooner i get out of this clown-run hell-hole the better. crime, incompetence, and HIGH PRICED ELECTRONICS - i dont know what electronics you guys were looking at, but my RTX 4090 just cost me $2000 and that was the cheapest one i could find from a reputable supplier. to hell with this place! e-coli in the water, no electricity, sleeping in fear of being killed or raped every night.. no thank you.. this is 3rd world at best. i hate south africa
Bucket hats spotties are actually more rooted in Pantsula culture of SA. It's an old style of dance and way of dressing. Research Pantsula dance. Beyonce and Salonge also featured it in their music videos. It's uniquely South African bred. It's been around for decades.
Thanks for the information
As a South African I absolutely love your content. Gives a fresh perspective
thank you so much we really appreciate it.
Truly one of the best practical, productive and friendly feedbacks given from visitors who can see the positive side to our country and relate a lot of similarities in their own country aswell. Thank you for this amazing video. Wish you guys could have had the opportunity to see how beautiful our country is.
Spoti - correct👍🏽
South Africa is heavily influenced by the US
It does get really cold here, so yes you'll need warmer clothes and you'll realise that the season clothes in stores are winter clothing
Our African brothers complain about that the most 😂the cold winters in South Africa
Thanks for watching
Ispoti came from ispansula or amapansula I was born in 1976 and it was popular then with my parents generations as ispoti.
Infact ispoti influenced the Hiphop culture via Mosdef. Remeber he stayed here.
Theres this spoti brand called Thesis based in Soweto and mosdef exported that brand which was featured in a newyork hiphop group music video.
Since then buckets hats became a major thing in hiphop.
@@nhlaposbu interesting share! Thank you.
I love you family the fact that you are smart you know how to speak about African countries , you show appreciat what they have achieved and you want to be the part of success of Africa. Thank you all love.🇿🇦🙏❤
Thank you so much for your comment and watching.
this is so great!! As a local joburger it is so awesome to see people actually experiencing our city as opposed to just passing thru. Such honest commentary. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
Watching from TZ. I’m glad you two came back to the continent. Thank you for continuing to show us Africa. Seeing it through your honest lenses is refreshing. All praises to TMH for you two.
Thanks for watching!
Most of us know a great deal about American movies and music.
Yes some things that are here in SA are related to American way life that make tourists feel more comfortable. Fast food chains like Mcdonalds, Subway, KFC, Popeyes etc. also add familiarity to tourists
Thanks for watching
If you want to experience more weather conditions in South Africa atleast visit 3 Cities Joburg, Durban and Cape Town. Joburg is dry because is inland, you'd barely breath in Durban but trust me your skin will be soft as a baby skin and it's barely cold there.
Much love ❤️ 🇿🇦
What do you mean you'll barely breath ?
@@ncazelocele-hq7hxhumidity
True. I relocated from Pretoria to Durban at some point in my life and the air was too humid for me I could barely breathe.
Thanks for watching!
Every south African city. Walk in to the convenience store and ask what you need for the weather. Because we have all of the weather types in incroments.
Thank you for this lovely SA review! I’m glad people outside of Africa are realising that we don’t actually have wild animals running around all our streets! Well, on occasion we have a crazy story to tell with a wild animal from a zoo or the lost baboons from the mountains, but other than that, it’s just our tame pets. 😅❤
I actually wanted to hear what they had in mind when thinking of Mzansi 😂😂😂 before coming here.
Really enjoying your videos. You got me binge watching, as you guys are so delightfully real and open and honest.
Wow, thank you!
It makes sense to flesh out a smile with gold since South Africa is a biggest producer of gold in the world.
Love this comment. Thanks for watching.
❤️❤️
3rd biggest producer
@@sabelomlambo3586nope.south Africa is the largest.do your research before speaking
If you want to experience that warm humid air from the East coast, you should consider Durban, it’s on the Indian ocean, so it’s warmer all year round. Still colder than other parts of Africa though.
Thanks for the recommendation
Durban boi🔥
Definitely, Durban is South Africa's playground, be sure to see it.
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFEYou must stay in Umhlanga! Beautiful and safe, I never felt safer in my life, walking from my hotel to town and back at midnight, even walking on the beach at night
Indeed, an honest, beautiful and positive 👏🏽 review of South Africa, my beloved country. 🇿🇦 Keep up the good work. Shalom, and God bless you.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the positive feedback about our country.❤❤
Good stuff, my brother. The opportunities in SA are endless, if you explore the country you will realize that everywhere in SA is similar. You can find someone in deep Eastern cape or kwazulu natal, who was born in that area and grew up there, educated there, got a job in the same area, built a house and buy a new car , still at his home village, what am trying to show you is that you can make it anywhere in SA, unlike our other African countries where everyone have to go to the big cities for opportunities . Myself who migrated to SA from Uganda now over 22 years ,i can tell you there's no country that was going to provide me the opportunity of making money and still being respected snd feeling at home, because in America or Europe as a black person you can make big money but still treated like trash, like you are nobody. The most important thing with SA is that it has the same level of freedom like USA, many of our African countries are ruled by dictators, South Africa is completely different, freedom of speech,
African American should first look into the political landscape of the country, because you can invest into the country and then the war broke out and you lose everything, just like what's happening in sudan. Example 2, Many African Americans are going to Rwanda but the country is run by a dictator same with my home country Uganda and those countries are sitting on a time bomb .
the other good thing about SA is that it is a big playing field. unlike some smaller countries where you can get bored quickly , during winter you can go to the warmer side of the country which is Durban, and you will find the mentality of the people completely different from any other African countries, and people party Monday to Sunday
Thanks for watching
Thank you very much about this comment.
Thank you so much. Especially as a fellow African. We get nothing but hate from Africans who don't live with us. God bless you for sharing the truth when you have the opportunity.
@@SikiDlanga brooooo😂lapho weve never even done anything to them
Thank you brother Abdul for sharing your experiences in South Africa as a fellow African. Thank you for your positive contribution and for understanding and respecting the laws of our country. I hope your comment can educate all our fellow Africans who speak ill of South Africa but have never been here. You are a testimony of a fellow African brother who have lived in SA for over 2 decades. All of the best with your future plans and may you continue to prosper in Mzansi. Shalom
Thanks family for kind words regarding our country. We love you guys so much and you are 100 % welcome to make South Africa your home. We welcome you guys and you look just like South Africans. We are such a diverse country and you guys fit in here 100 %. We love you beautiful family!
I wish you had that same welcoming love for Africans.... othi ngithule
@@livingfaith9189 what do you mean? Black Americans are Africans…..so what welcoming are you talking about? Black Americans respect South African blacks and they come to South Africa legally. They don’t get involved in criminal activities. Black Americans talk about opening businesses here in SA and empower South Africans. So, such africans like this AFRICAN AMERICAN COUPLE who speak highly of our country and it’s people are 100% welcome here in SA. DO You get it?
Thank you so much for the kind comment we really appreciate it and thanks for watching.
@@livingfaith9189 the same African who don't respect our country and laws, let me ask you a question if SAns moved to your country and started selling expired foods, drugs, human trafficking, hijacking building and properties would you personally be cool with that. Please don't ignore my question and i would appreciate your honest answer
@@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652 give this man a bells😂
Greetings from Cape Town South Africa,
Thank you for giving an honest and positive report of South Africa,
Next time you must visit Cape Town, you will love it.
I lived here for 55 years and despite load shedding and what ever negative things people tell you, the people are nice, the weather is perfect, the natural beauty, the mountains, the sea, the beaches, the wine lands, the countryside, the food, it’s all fantastic.
I love living here.
Thanks for watching
What an awesome interview. Thanks guys! 👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the Great Content about South-Africa, I have been taking the country for granted sometimes and thinking I wanna move, but your content makes one see how much potential there is here💥
Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for being so honest about what you have experienced here in South Africa. The good and the bad and the ugly. Hopefully our politicians will take note of what tourists experience and do something about it. Especially thé loadshedding etc. May you have experience more of all the good things and beautiful things in our country and may it outweigh the bad stuff!!! Thank you so much for all the positive and it is good to hear it in a new way from you guys, so we can appreciate what we have here!!! Shalom and may God bless you guys!!!!
Thanks for watching!
As from July we won’t have load shedding anymore
We in SA often hear so much negativity in the local news, and other media. It is refreshing to hear positive things from an outside perspective for a change.
Tx guys for this.
Thank you guys you help us see beyond ourselves. Very nice informed reviews.
We've never had a problem with load shedding before hence electric stoves it is a challenging issue we are currently struggling with but there are project on the way by government and private sector are working hard to change the situation.
It is the winter indeed, because of the altitude and also it is inland hence it is dry for your lips I'd suggest you use Zambuk it is very helpful. Provinces that are on the coastline like Durban for example has total different weather patterns the winter is not that cold, since it is by the Indian Ocean which is warm and humid
Thanks for watching
Yes exactly, it's not something we thought we'd have to get used to.
Hence electric everything.
And the plan is to get rid of it not adapt to it.
Its something we all hate
Bro how much did Zambuk pay you? Give me half. I need it!!
Immensely informative and educational. My goal is to go to South Africa. Thsnks immensely for this phenomenal content.
Thanks for watching
So lovely to hear good news about South Africa!
Thanks for watching
This is the most positive and exciting review I have ever heard about an African country. I went to South Africa 14 years ago. It as an absolute amazing experience. You really motived me to go back agin after watching this video
Hopefully you will. Thanks for watching.
Great content as usual guys. Joburg is situated almost 2km above sea level, that's why your skin and lips gets so dry, especially in winter. A lot of alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, brandy whiskey, ciders, etc are produced in SA, that's why you see so much diversity in liquor stores. You are correct that there are so many business opportunities here and potential for business growth and expansion is great. I hope you guys get to explore more and wish you nothing but the best. Looking forward to your next video. Shalom.
Thank you so much for a watching. We really appreciate your comment.
Kenya or South Africa?
@@cyrus6867 this beautiful family is still exploring South Africa. They recently arrived in Joburg and still need to visit other parts of South Africa such as Cape Town and Durban. I know which country they will choose but I will not jump the gun. They already know towards which country are their hearts leaning to. I wish them the most pleasant and joyful stay in South Africa.
Wow guys I'm a South African from Joburg and I just love your videos. I had a chance to be in Uganda and Rwanda for two years and I can relate to your experiences. Kigali was awesome. I remember landing back home and the moment I got out the plane I took a huge breath and to my surprise the air was so dry. . .lol this amazed me as I never really thought that the home air was like this lol. Buy Zam-buk😂
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for such an honest review of my home country. ❤❤. I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for a wonderful, informative review!
It's a pity you haven't been to Cape Town and the lovely wine farms there. I would say the atmosphere there is more Europe like and spectacularly beautiful when you drive outside of Cape Town to the beautiful wine and olive farms. Also visit towns like Stellenbosch(wine farms) Knysna(with huge forests) Franschoek(wine) Paarl(wine) if you go to Cape Town. The stretches of beach and coastlines left and right side from Cape Town is also beautiful. On the West Coast in the Cape you will find small fishing villages where the fishing boats depart daily and you can buy the catch of the day when they return from the sea. The ocean in the Cape the water is cold, but where the Indian and Atlantic ocean meet for a warm swim i the ocean you need to go to Umhlanga or other Natal beaches. The Drakensberg mountains are also in Natal.
Hopefully we visit soon
I am so surprised at how complimentary these opinions are! I've lived in Joburg for most of my life but moved to Cape Town in 2000. I certainly have a more cynical and negative opinion about SA but I imagine most locals do. Great positive and uplifting review and comparison! Well done!
Thanks for watching!
Seems like a nice place to visit. Watching from Svalbard! Thank you for the video.
Love this video. I'm proudly South African 🇿🇦
Thanks for watching!
It was so interesting to hear your perspective on SA and on Joburg specifically, since that's my home. I was especially surprised to hear how comparable you say Joburg is to America. And yeah, the loadshedding is a pain, but the fact that someone built an app to help us figure out the schedule is a great example of finding humour in tough situations and good old SA entrepreneurs! I did laugh at your surprise that we have electric stoves, when we have so much loadshedding 😂 It does seem rather ridiculous when you put it like that.
Thank you for showing us the brighter side of our country too. Sometimes we forget
Thanks for watching
I’m so glad that you’ve visited my hometown 🇿🇦
Loved your review! Our nation is truly amazing and very friendly.
When you’re here again, please visit Cape Town, your memories will be so special.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for coming to visit. Come back any time yall.
We can have a braai, and chill out.
keep up the great work and travel safe on your next journey.
You guys earned yourselves a new subscriber 🇿🇦
Welcome to the family
Great video. You guys should take a rod trip and visit other cities and Provinces when you have a moment. I took a rod trip in 2022 and 2023 and it opened my eyes further to South Africa. US and SA does have lot of similarities. East London and Durban are my favorite spots. You said that you visited Tanzania. How was it? I'm actually looking at other African countries to visit. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for saying that 👌. I live in East London and I love it here. Everyone tells them to go to Cape Town but the beauty of South Africa is endless and is in every province.
@SikiDlanga it is endless. I had the pleasure of traveling around South Africa this year and last year and met many people. I've been to small towns such as Ulindi, Port Edwards, and George to big cities such as Johannesburg, CT, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, East London, and Durban. A beautiful country indeed.
Tanzania was amazing and we have videos on TZ that might help you decide if you want to visit.
Great Video thanks for the recon can't wait to go
I'm glad you are so researched in my country and giving an unbiased view. Refreshing we hope you enjoy the country all it has to offer. Proudly black South African 🎉🎉🎉
Kudos to you for doing what many Black South Africans arent keen to...and thats to explore other African countries as you guys are. We know we're spoilt for choice with every topic you brought up. SAs success is being able to co-exist amidst a myriad of differences, races, cultures, infrastructure, food, faith, clothing...it absolutely has its short-comings but we definitely are blessed and we know it. You should defs visit Cape Town (God lives in CT), Durban, Midlands Meander...all of SA is glorious. Enjoy
Thanks for watching
South Africans do visit other African countries.
They just have specific countries that they like.
E.g.. Kenya, Swaziland, Namibia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Botswana and Mauritius
Don't get me wrong yall content about south Africa as tourists is so dope to watch, spread the word at Home may God bless America and all countries in the world 🌎 ❤
Thanks for watching.
More blessings, y'all. Keep spreading the love for Mama Africa. One nation.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for such a clear and true account of our country. Irrespective of the challenges we face, this is really a beautiful country to live in. We welcome you. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the amazing positive feedback on our beautiful country. Re: the face fonts/ gold teeth/ mouth decorations. This is a cultural thing from the Cape Flats in Cape Town that started in the 60’s. I don’t know if you guys are familiar with seeing certain people in Cape Town with their 4 front teeth missing. They did this to have various sets of dentures made with different decorations, some with one or two gold teeth or “rubies”,”emeralds” ect..so it’s a tradition that started from the 60’s and still going strong.
Great review guys! Yeah, Joburg gets VERY dry during the winter time as it rains in summer. If you go to Cape Town/west coast it gets rain in winter and will almost never be dry. Would also be cool to know what you think of our malls compared to USA and other countries!
Thanks for watching
This is a really stunning review!! Please tell everyone back home to come and see!!
Will do, thanks for watching
Good video! Thank you for sharing. South Africa 🇿🇦 is just beautiful. The weather is great sunny everyday ☀️☀️☀️☀️. I watch your video from Canada 🇨🇦😁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
OH MY GOODNESS! Are you talking about my country South Africa, Johannesburg etc?! What a breath of fresh air to hear such positivity from people outside our country! We tend to just look at the bad things around us and not see what is good RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Thank you both for your honest observation, may your journey take you to safe and beautiful places on the ENTIRE PLANET! Sending you love and light from Ekurhuleni.

Thank you for visiting our country ♥️🇿🇦
Thank you for having us
My South African heart! This was such a nice review.
On the loadshedding point, a lot of people have started to switch to gas geysers and gas stoves as well as solar. However, if you are economically disadvantaged that isn't really an option.
Thanks for watching
As a South African i came to see what rot you uncovered since we so used to it but was pleasantly surprised...good review and a really honest..subscribing
Love your respectful take on my country. It is a beautiful place and there's so much to appreciate....please come soon
Thanks for watching!
Great review. As South Africans,most of us,we don't think of relocating to other countries because we're struggling here. We are quite fine and we have what people would say they are found in developed world,so we are quite fine.
I would like to encourage you guys to also visit our coastal regions, like Durban and Capetown, I think you would enjoy those and would be an interesting contrast of culture and weather between the regions. Safe travels guys.
Thanks for the recommendation
Thanks for sharing, this was helpful.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this, guys. I've lived in Johannesburg until 2 years ago, it is very different to where I'm now in the quiet Western Cape. I could post 100's of comments, but it's not necessary. Your observations are quite correct. You're doing a great and necessary job. Keep on informing people, we all suffer from tunnel vision. Hearing comparisons with other countries is healthy. Safe travels. I would love to hear your thoughts on Uganda if you plan on going there.
I'm from South Africa and I have to say thank you for not only looking at the bad stuff that's going around. Although yes when it comes to the cops some of them can be corrupt and they are notorious for it but not all of them is like that and a lot of people in South Africa make a living from tourism and we rely on that to help our economy. So most of the people will leave tourists alone because we need them. Weed is also legal here BTW. This is one of the nicest reviews of South Africa that I've seen and thank you for that.
Thanks for watching
I don't think Americans understand how much they shape the world culturally. You guys are the leaders, the rest of the world follows. We wear your clothers, watch your movies and listen to your music.
We follow the leader...shameful
Thank you for sharing your experience - welcome to our beautiful country where you will find the most awesome people. SA is so diverse - i hope you get an opportunity to visit all the different regions. Wishing you only happy memories during your stay with us 🇿🇦❤
Good morning.
I enjoyed your video.
Gives one insight and perspective other than your own lived experience.
Thank you

Thank you for your insights and encouragement, we are not appreciative of our country as some of us don't do much traveling , and even if we do, we don't talk about the different issues so much.❤ love from South 🇿🇦

I hope you guys had a wonderful time in SA and that you visited the Western Cape, especially Cape Town. She's by far the grandest of them all. Aah, loadshedding... it's still shocking to me🙈 Next you visit, try to do a garden route tour. Very beautiful, with lush green vegetation and beautiful beaches.
Thanks for watching

Welcome back home guys. Home sweet home. I can tell you connected with our mother land.
I've been to quite a number of countries but coming back to SA you feel that you are now home. Please try to stay a bit longer in Soweto and see for yourself would be surprised it's not the way it's portrait people are welcoming respect one another.
The are beautiful places to chill streets very clean no potholes also beautiful houses like those you find in suburbs.
Love you guys this is were you belong❤
Thank u for another great video. This is where we plan on visiting too if all goes well.
Hopefully you will enjoy your trip. Thanks for watching
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE thank you we hope so too

@@Bellissimo653 thank u
Thanks guys👏🏾 Central South Africa is very dry and much colder during autumn/winter. I grew up here and my skin suffers big time. You will find much milder and humid weather in the eastern coastal cities like Durban, in KwaZulu-Natal province, where it's more tropical like Florida in the US, they have more or less same temperature all year. All our provinces have their own weather patterns though, so for Johannesburg and Cape Town, you can expect to experience 4 seasons in a day sometimes😭 You've made some good points, especially on the chronic leaf. Honestly, nobody cares about that here 😂 We even have medicines and skincare products made from it. Hope you can make your way out into the inner cities and townships because I do feel that suburbs like Sandton are not representative of how most South Africans live, though SA is generally perceived as a middle income country. Groceries are also cheaper because you are using the US dollar which is currently +/- R18,30 to buy, so cost of living is much more expensive for locals. Have a great time with the crazy #loadshedding and Enjoy your stay!❤
