10 Reasons to Relocate to South Africa | Johannesburg

[@JulianAlbino]

Love this video!

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you, Julian! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@solorider2607]

I love how South African people love to speak more of their native languages then English

[@AntonsClass]

Yeah, it's awesome! They speak English well too, though 🙂

[@hopes9451]

@@AntonsClass oh thank you Anton, yes we do indeed and AA's are welcome to share our country with us!,,🇿🇦🙏

[@francoiswilliams]

Afrikaans ja...

[@josiejo1986]

I’d love to visit S.A. one because my oldest brother moved there because his job took him there. Once there he never left. I also have a friend who’s native there & speaks highly of S.A. & just the culture is amazing

[@phillipmtshweni9216]

So impressive of you having PRONOUNCED COTRRECTLY Gqom and they way u pronounced the languages spoken here.

[@DARKSEID76]

Man I'd love to leave the US and go to SA. The US is on the decline and refuses to care for its people.

[@lozi4163]

good information on SA brother, when are you coming back?

[@AntonsClass]

Not sure yet, but hopefully soon 😊🙏🏽

[@solorider2607]

Omg the street dancer’s really represent one of the things I love about South Africa 🇿🇦 DANCING 🕺

[@mopailothatelo583]

I am impressed with your knowledge about our languages and ethnic groups.

[@onlyaskingquestions]

SA has so many good hiking opportunities and many people backpack here.

[@AntonsClass]

Absolutely! That's definitely a plus.

[@rosalynj2639]

Man, I love how you pronounce the languages. Such respect

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊

[@ngmn5402]

I love it when Americans esp African Americans when they recognize Africa as a whole. Nguni(4 major languages) and sotho-tswana(3 major languages). Tsonga and Venda are also 2 minor separate independent languages.

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you much! I appreciate you sharing knowledge here.

[@fullmetaltheorist]

Don't forget English and Afrikaans.

[@Tt-iu4vk]

Reason 10 was the most important. I can't overstate the importance of building community. Great job.

[@AntonsClass]

I really appreciate it! Thank you!

[@benambrose8324]

We waiting for you brother in SA, thank you for spreading the word👍

[@AntonsClass]

Any time!

[@thabisondzinisa9016]

I will be honest with you what you said about buying land for you to carve a space for yourself is key. I am so proud of the people we are seeing visit the continent so far. I hope you find blessings and spread your roots firmly in the soil of your ancestoral land. The most hi bless you brother

[@dimbwemazala8978]

You should not be telling these people to buy land in South Africa. There is already a problem of accommodation in your country. Black South Africans cannot afford houses, and you are encouraging foreigners with their inflated dollars to come to South Africa and cause the prices of housing to rise even farther out of rich for black South Africans. I am from Zambia, and I cannot agree with you. South Africa does not owe black America a single thing. Black Americans are from West Africa, and there is nothing preventing them from returning to Benin, Togo or the Nigeria where their ancestors came from, except the dilapidation and poverty of those places. Black American were not at Cuito Carnavale and other places in Angola where the blood for the liberation of South Africa was shed, by young Cubans, Angolans and a small unit from Umkhonto we Sizwe. Do not get sentimental or emotional. All the foreigners in South Africans, Zambians and Angolans included, their sacrifice for your freedom not withstanding, need to give black South Africa a chance to get on its feet before trying to flood that country. Ethiopians, Nigerians, Zimbabweans and black Americans too belong in that category, to say nothing of the non-whites from Asia, the Middle East, Europe and America... Black South Africans have suffered enough

[@violettaboola7067]

Tht feather took me out 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Thank you for such a positive and genuine review of South Africa and of African culture in general.. you are absolutely correct. We are a diverse nation full of colour. There's always something new to experience daily. Hope to see you relocate here soon 💙

[@AntonsClass]

😂😂😂 So happy to have you! Thanks for engaging

[@feleciawallace8420]

Hey Anton - you're an inspiration indeed, I'm planning to visit SA very soon, your information is helpful.

[@AntonsClass]

I'm so glad to hear it helped! 🙏🏽

[@billdelgrosso4564]

some of the best times I've had were in Johannesburg and Cape Town

[@silindilenxumalo9541]

Hi Anton, thank you for putting our country on the map, especially not only with negative things but positive. As a Zulu lady, I'm glad that there are people out there who really want to learn the language, because wow, most people doesn't like to associate themselves with us.

[@zipporahyourexplorer4891]

Remove this comment. It's embarrassing 🤦🏾 We Zulus need to stop whining about who doesn't like us and start focusing on those who do if that's important to you. You are not money, not everyone is supposed to like you and I know more black South Africans who like one another irrespective of tribes than those who don't...so comments like these show low esteem levels and narcissistic mentality. Hayi kabi ✌🏾

[@AntonsClass]

And thank you for sharing your kind thoughts! I appreciate you. And isiZulu is such a beautiful language. Hopefully more African Americans coming to SA learn some.

[@dimbwemazala8978]

Silindile, it is not the other Africans who do not want to learn your language; it is you black South Africans who do not want them to learn your language or to be in your country. Please do not try to shift the blame

[@musaamos1678]

Africa has 54 beautiful, unique and diverse country with more than 500 indigenous languages from South, East, West and North, the problem we're currently having an energy crisis in Africa due to poor leadership and greedy from government officials, most African countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique etc are experiencing power outage of more than 8 hours a day in worst days.

[@hopes9451]

Yes our corrupt government's needs to be held accountable as they are dropping the ball on all of us. In SA we the people will never stop putting pressure on the ANC to sort this issue we are tired of their corruption!, 😕 & We will not run away from our country because of them!

[@francoiswilliams]

Too much corruption and theft...

[@dimbwemazala8978]

The Bantu people have more than 500 languages by themselves. The Nigerians, who are not Bantu, have about 250; your numbers are way off

[@lifewithabeliever]

Always learning when I tune in , thank you love ♥️. Truly

[@tmash509]

I appreciate your open-mindedness, I think you can fit in easily anywhere. You made your research, and it's quite accurate

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@The-Art-of-Luv-4-Africa]

Awesome video. I'm looking to visit SA soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652]

Excellent presentation my brother. We love you in South Africa. Come home quickly and join us, your family here in South Africa.

[@cboh9530]

Well researched information articulated clearly 👌🏾👌🏾 I like how you base your views on what you have seen and experienced rather than what's flying on the media or one sided perceptions.. I have been following your vlogs when you were in Rwanda and Namibia and you have been consistent throughout. There's so much in this country you will still continue to see in various areas, some people get overwhelmed they either fall in love with the country understanding fully well it challenges but embracing it diversity

[@AntonsClass]

I truly appreciate your support and engagement here! Thank you for commenting and following my journey along the way. Take care!

[@musaamos1678]

Important facts South Africa has more Batswana people than Botswana South Africa has more Zimbabweans than Zimbabwe most people in Zimbabwe dispute this but we on the ground we know because we live and interact with millions of Zimbabweans in different cities. South Africa has more Nigerians in Africa living, working and studying outside Nigeria, Ghana and Ginue. South Africa has more than 20 indigenous languages only 11 that are officially recognized by the law of the land

[@zipporahyourexplorer4891]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bluecouchpodcast24]

South Africa 🇿🇦 also has the biggest population of Indians outside of India

[@tutotutot5193]

important fact......interior south africa original belonged to the Sotho-Tswana. that is from lesotho, northwest, gauteng, northern cape, into current Botswana. hence more Batswana and Basotho in south africa coastal area belonged to the Ngunis ie Xhosas, Zulus etc that is eastern cape, kzn, mozambique things changed with the arrival of colonizers and displacement but those are original

[@hewantssomespecialtreatmen7163]

S. A has more Zimbabweans than Zimbabwe? 🤔😂😂😂

[@sanelemwelase]

We have more Zim Ndebele that those remaining in Zim. Cant speak of Shonas​@@hewantssomespecialtreatmen7163

Anton you're so knowledgeable I'm soooo impressed ❤❤❤❤

[@TheDtfamu89]

The creature comforts are important to me as well...sometimes I feel as if I should be embarrassed that I still want to have convenience...especially when you read the commentary in these youtube streets. I want to retire and be comfortable.

Great content brother. 👌🏿 I've heard a few African Americans say SA lacks culture compared to other African countries. Your pronunciations are actually very good.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. 🙏🏽

[@syandanhlaka7014]

Pls gys don't come here, Azikhiphi bafwethu😂, love the video anyway.

[@mopailothatelo583]

Not everyone is Coloured though. There are San people, who are the Khoi san, the Nama-also in Namibia etc. These are not mixed blood with white folks.

[@gordonmoswele2925]

SA's health system is among the best in the world. It's also free to many who are not so wealthy. It's leading in terms of research in africa. Remember the first ever heart transplant was done in cape Town. Again SA has the deepest mine in the world, Indian meeting Atlantic, cradle of human kind, seas, mountains, parks and reserves, natural resources, biggest man made hole in the world, tallest skyscrapers in africa, most concentration of people all over africa, flora and fauna, culture, history, innovation etc. South Africa is a world in one country. I see you've done your research. Wish you well.

[@AntonsClass]

How does one get a visa there 🤔

[@AntonsClass]

Just released a video on the topic.

[@xolanishongwe7081]

Wow interesting I had a nite mare of a time in s Africa and lived there past three years! Yeah it's beautiful in some parts, and so sad that depending on our skin color our experiences all over the world are so different. I wish the world wasn't like that, it's so sad. My husband is Zulu, I am white European , we escaped s Africa begging of last year 2022 and have been in Ireland since. My husband never wants to return . He says he feels so welcome here and safer than in his own country. We will probably revisit other parts of Africa this summer, like Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar as we want to buy land, but s Africa never again. Beautiful country but there is still the apartide mentally and its sad. I've lived in Italy, Greece, Saudi Arabia, turkey and s Africa was just anitenare for me personally! Very dangerous!

[@AntonsClass]

Apartheid had a very negative impact that the county is still recovering from. The system was set up to only benefit the White minority, which is of course, devastating for the majority. But things are changing. Anyway, I hope you have safe travels wherever you go. 🙂

[@xolanishongwe7081]

@@AntonsClass yes it had a very negative impact on everyone in s Africa! Thanx Anton for the well wishes, we appreciate!

Welcome home brother we need more black Americans to relocate to some Africa...unfortunately we more white Americans coming open businesses and stay permanently

[@francoiswilliams]

Indigenous black people immigrate from central Africa btw, the original inhabitants here are the Khoi ..

[@tutotutot5193]

lies dont lie please with 30% history narration that is designed to separate us. San and Khoi are black and very African. they are just not Bantu like most south africans....Pure Khoi and San are very rare in South Africa and are mostly found in Botswana and followed by Namibia. South africa has mostly coloureds/mixed who are categorised as Khoi/San (like the US 1%black categorisation) Most Xhosa and Tswana/Sotho ancestry DNA are or khoi/san ancestry and even physical features are like that.

[@sanelemwelase]

That a lie your a ancestors fabricated to justify whatever they did years ago.

[@grainofsalt2113]

do you have the visa to be ABLE to relocate

[@AntonsClass]

Yes. Not to visit, but to relocate, yes. I just released a new video on the subject.

One phrase: Load shedding

[@josiejo1986]

Believe it or not I learned about load shedding on Family Feud..when Steve Harvey visited Africa & had some lovely guests on the show

[@josiejo1986]

I’m from the US so i haven’t experienced load shedding. But when i visited Mexico in a small village, they would have load shedding. Also they would have different days when water was available

[@mn9181]

1 reason NOT to relocate to SA - Loadshedding! Unless you dont mind being without electricity for up to 12 hours per day.

[@thonakau6887]

You have not the really Africa
