You guys always on point when it comes to differences. As I’ve mentioned before I’ve lived in both countries. I agree when it comes to convenience in terms of online shopping and delivery America wins. And when it comes to safety as much as they portray SA as a dangerous country I also feel America is more dangerous. Why ?. Mass shootings at churches, malls, concerts, and the one that drives me crazy is Mass shootings in schools, that doesn’t happen in South Africa, kids are safer in SA schools. Someone actually made a good point saying they should compare city by city instead of countries, then people will realize how dangerous America is.

[@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE]

That’s a great idea family!

[@ZuesLayza]

What do you mean , America wins on online shopping and delivery? haven't you tried it ?

[@thatdudeghosty6817]

takealot has gotten really good with delivery and variety of items. still not as much variety as something like Amazon and it takes a while for the prices to actually match the market(at least in the case of pc parts but in that case using something like wootware or eve tech is much better and they deliver within 3 days if they have it in stock or about a week if it's in stock with the supplier)

[@nthabisengmametja7031]

@@thatdudeghosty6817 I know. Takealot is good. I’m still in the states and I order from takelot every month and they ship to my Mom back in SA, never had issues. Amazon has more variety like you mentioned.

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

There's no way American can be safer with those pathetic gun laws. How can they allow someone to walk to a gun shop and just buy guns like they're buying snacks. Obviously there will be many senseless killings and mass shootings. Some people are not sane enough to own any gun. There should be stricter gun laws. But obviously the Republicans don't want that... for obvious reasons. 🤦‍♂️

America's houses are mostly made out of wood. I have seen some while ago when I visited US. In SA house are made of bricks. The downside is that brick houses use lot of materials and sometimes can get cracks if the brick layers were terrible. However, SA has very good building engineers who will always make sure that your house will be strong.and can stand any weather.

[@libralovejonestarot]

Houses in Florida and other hurricane prone areas by law are built to withstand strong winds... in other parts of the country, building requirements differ.

Thanks you for helping me be more positive about our beautiful country again. And welcome - i wish for you only positive and happy experiences. As a 55 year old that has travelled extensively and lived in the uk for a short while, it is very hard to compare costs of living because it depends on your earning capacity - ie if you are earning in $ or € or £ - and living in SA then it will look extremely cheap, however earning in Rands the cost of living can be very high for the majority of low income earners in SA. I have been watching NBC news every morning for the last 3 years (only because it makes me realize its not better anywhere in the world- there is problems all over - so it helps me to be more appreciative of what i have here dispite all the corruption and failing gov functions, and we can come together as a nation like no other when it comes to Rugby 😅😅😅)

[@africaneagle7397]

As South Africans we have to be proactive citizens, and stop complaining to everybody and anybody who will listen to our nagging or complaining. African Americans who come to Africa or South Africa are on their own mission. It is good to interact and share our experiences and perspectives with them. But PLEASE, PLEASE stop complaining to them about your problems or South African problems, they have their own. There is a big difference between sharing your experiences and complaining about your problems. You shared your experiences in the first part of your message, but complained in the last part. I know I am being hard on you, and you are not the only one with this tendency. I am just frustrated by South Africans who like complaining instead of finding solutions to problems. The truth of the matter is, South African citizens are no better than the government, they are also part of the problem.

[@Svig]

​@@africaneagle7397How did he complain? By telling and sharing a story or being appreciative of ones country is now complaing?. Let him/her express hes own opinion, why are you pained, dont even believe you South African.

[@africaneagle7397]

I am sorry for the harsh message, I am really gutvol about everyone who keeps saying "we have a corrupt government, we have corrupt police etc" but fail to see how citizens are part of this problem. The very citizens who can stop this, like complaining for the sake of complaining, instead of doing something about it. It's like a woman complaining to a visitor or stranger about her husband or her children. Talk to your husband or children, if that fails seek counseling. A counselor will probably tell you that you are also part of the problem.

[@africaneagle7397]

We always say we have a failing state, but fail to say thousands and thousands of us are stealing from the state through illegal connections, copper thefts, burning of public assets etc. We always say police are not dealing effectively with crime, but fail to say we are not raising our children properly. We always expect government to do everything, but fail to do our part. South African citizens have a horrible sense of entitlement, which is matched by the government officials.

[@africaneagle7397]

When we complain about government corruption, we fail to mention that businesses (including American businesses) as well as ordinary citizens are part of that corruption.

[@Joe_Ndlozi]

Wow, it was seriously cool watching this video. Y'all really did a great job editing it and explaining the differences between the USA and South Africa in a super detailed and interesting way. I've got some thoughts to throw in too. So, the USA and South Africa even though we're on opposite sides of the world and have totally different cultures we've both been through a lot. Our histories have shaped where we are now. In the US there's that whole colonization thing, the American Revolution, and the Civil War that have had a big impact on who they are and how they run things. On the flip side here in South Africa we've dealt with colonialism, apartheid and the fight for freedom which has left a mark on our politics and society. Our political systems are like night and day. The USA has this federal republic thing with a president in charge and it's all about constitutional democracy and power sharing between the feds and the states. Meanwhile in South Africa we've got a parliamentary republic and a bunch of political parties. We moved from apartheid to democracy in the '90s, with the ANC playing a major role. Now both of these countries are known for being super diverse but the way they do it is different. The US is often called a "melting pot" with all kinds of cultures and backgrounds coming together to make the American identity. In South Africa our diversity comes from the many different ethnic groups like Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tsonga and more. Apartheid left a unique mix of cultures, languages and traditions. Language is a big deal for identity in both places. The US, even though English is the main language is like a language buffet with Spanish, Chinese and more. It's a reflection of their immigrant history. Here In South Africa language was a powerful tool in the struggle for our identity. We've got 12 official languages to show off our multicultural society. Economic disparities are a thing in both countries but they're driven by different stuff. In the US income inequality is a hot topic and things like race, education and where you live can make a big difference. Over here in South Africa it's all about dealing with the legacy of apartheid which left racial inequalities in wealth and opportunities. We're trying to fix that with affirmative action. Our social issues like healthcare, education and race relations are complicated in both places. In the US healthcare is a big debate with arguments about how it's set up and if it's affordable. South Africa is in a similar boat with healthcare disparities linked to our history. And race relations are a big deal for both of us although the details are different because of our unique histories.

One of the reasons for SA being cheaper is that the value of the Rand is very undervalued.

[@mafenza]

ok, about air quality, well, jet engines release hot air, like very hot air, and when that mixes with very cold air up at 36k ft, that produces what you see when jets fly .. it's just that most flight around the Jhb area fly low as they come into land at the 3 main airports, and there are very few flights flying over Jhb at over 10k ft even, so a rare sight basically.. but you're generally right, the air quality in Sandton is better than in NYC which is coastal while Jhb is inland and closer to major coal mine power plants, but remember, Jhb has a lot of trees that are intentionally planted to improve air quality such as the Jacaranda tree and a few others too.. enjoy your stay though. . I haven't seen you react or put out something about CITs, which happen everyday, yeah, we're used to it and all, but maybe put out something like that , having read many of other people's comments, who actually wanna put SA in negative light, maybe indulge them a lil.. there's a guy you had interviews with, I think they live in Kenya, it was quite a long one, he also interviewed another guy who claims to be SAn and was making comments on xenophobia, that guy ain't SAn at all.. but anyway, it is what it is.. he said SAns are lazy, forgetting and ignoring the basic fact that we built this country from the bottom up, and due to influence of illegal immigrants and accepting very low wages, they crowd out the labour market.. same in the US, latin Americans basically accept very low wages and what used to be decent wages for particular jobs for low skilled natural Americans now has low labour rates, that doesn't mean Americans are lazy, it means Americans won't accept unduly low wages , same issue here. SAns aren't lazy..

When you live in the rural outskirts of the country (I grew up in rural EC) you will definitely see the contrails caused by jet engines. But in big cities like JHB you almost never see it and your explanation does make it make sense.

Electricity in SA used to be stable and is not long ago. We used to enjoy 24hrs electricity without interruptions or cut. The ANC was told by engineers to start increasing capacity by building new power stations because the population in housing were on the increase. The turned a deaf ear and paid back heavily. We'll I have read that the Turkish Karpowerships are coming to SA and will help to alleviate the impacts of loadshedding. The only challenge is that environmental pressure groups have taken the government to count to force it to reject Karpowerships as they were posing danger to the marine life.

[@theparkourlady894]

Trevor noah said something once a bit like this: I'm no longer under the delusion that America is one big country. America is a collection of small countries that just share governance. Obviously I've never been there, but it makes sense. If you compare the average country size, it matches the average state size. Each state, from what I understand, has its own sense of culture and identity. In many cases states even have their own laws. It's kind of interesting like that, but also means comparisons with average size countries are not on par. It should be a state versus country comparison, if that makes sense. Either way I was appreciating the fact that we don't share American gun culture in my country just last week. We have crime. We have a lot of it. Guns are used - but a lot of the time as a deterrent more than a weapon. The average person on the street does not own a gun, because it isn't part of our culture to randomly own guns. If you hunt, u probably keep some rifles in a lock box. If you're paranoid due to bad experiences, u maybe keep a pistol in a gun safe. You don't carry them on you. I think that fact on its own makes a big difference. You need a permit to own them. While the gun laws in SA are not super strongly enforced, and most criminals who use guns wouldn't care if they were, the fact is gun culture isn't really a part of SA identity - and I really, deeply appreciate that fact. Hearing you guys say it again just reaffirms it again. So grateful for that. Grateful I can approach a farm or property with out fear of shoot first, ask questions later. Glad I can walk in the street without madmen snipers being the mainstay. Glad I can go shopping etc and not live in fear of encountering a mad gun man. Yes, crime exists and guns are used, but nothing like what I see in reports coming from the states 😅

those are not "chem trails", they are condensation trails that happen when a plane is very high up and the exterior of the plane gets cold enough for water clouds to form around it (like clouds form on mountain peaks). The reason why you don't (often) see it in SA, is because our cities are at the end of international flight routes; so planes rarely, if ever, fly over populated areas at that altitude.

[@fiffihoneyblossom5891]

Just a comment on the rent and food, and costs and housing. You cant compare it to USD. Not only is the currency diffent, and things are valued differently, our people also get payed less. Trust me living here is not cheap when you look at what we're getting. Thats true for minimum wage althe way up to engineers. Things that are considered necessities accross the sea is convemience items here. Paper towels, disposable items, wipes, takeout, processed meals and even diapers are just not optional. We make our food simply from raw ingredients and use things that are reusable.

We'd like to farm and grow our own food, kind of got in that mindset here is the U.S. because they are talking crazy stuff may happen in the fall of 2024, and we aren't interested in dealing with that. Hopefully SA is a place for families, not crazy about living around ESSAU again, but it is what it is...

I've had conversations with some people from the USA and they commented that food in SA tastes better due to us not genetically modifying a lot of food sources. I was told that even fizzy cooldrinks tastes better here. Also, we do have good same day grocery delivery services such as sixty-sixty from Checkers, Pick n Pay delivery service and Woolworths also has a delivery service. Although Amazon has opened a branch in SA, they are very expensive to locals. Takealot and Makro have more competitive prices. You should also keep in mind that you are thinking in terms of the USD, South Africans trade with the rand. If coming here from the USA, your experience (financially) would be much better as the USD to the ZAR is greater

[@sherwindlamini5995]

Although SA has it's issue I'd still take it compare to any other countries around the world

Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for your great content! Please keep up the great work!

Thanks, will do!

Shalom. Where you guys at?. I hope that you guys are keeping well.

We’re doing well family, New video coming soon!

[@richardsambo283]

Great video guys, hope you continue to enjoy S.A. Stay blessed.

[@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE]

Same to you

[@landibear6509]

Yep, here is SA we are strict when it comes to guns. If you work with them, you have to go for firearm competency every year. You can own a gun but not have it on your person. You have to have it stored in a safe at all times. Chances are that here, if a crime was committed with a firearm, it was either with a stolen one or with a toy gun.

[@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE]

Good to know

[@captainunderpants936]

​@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFEHi it almost took me a year and a half to get my gun license and I have no criminal background.

[@zakhelezwide1911]

Brother, I've been following you since you had less than 100 subscribers. I am pleading with you to please acknowledge the error you made in your last interview when you brought a foreigner to discuss one of the most fragile and important topic in South Africa the "Xenophobia" question. I am pleading with you to please correct this so that our Hearts will be healed and continue to follow your wonderful channel. Shalom.

[@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE]

Thank you so much. We are doing well and will be making a video updating everyone on where we’ve been very soon.

[@supreme9801]

I was just about to comment this. Y’all are missed. Glad you are all doing well, cannot wait for the new video. Blessings for the new year ❤

[@nowelaZA]

Great video! Just my two cents on the climate differences, I'd say our climate isn't quite as diverse as the US like you said but we do also have cold areas where you can go skiing, there's desert, tropical areas etc. Just not as many as the US obviously.

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

You're aware that Black Africans are not interested in skiing akere. Asina ndaba.

[@nowelaZA]

@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq Lol! Don't make blanket statements like that, there are lots of black people who go to the Tiffendel and Afriski skiing resorts. Google the two places and look at pictures of the people who go there. Maybe you and the people you hang around with aren't interested, I'll be the first person to go the moment I get a chance.

[@mdworkshop3919]

This was so refreshing to watch, especially when you consider how we might be frowned upon. Just subbed as well.

[@Abdullah_Mo]

Thank you guys for a different viewpoint than what we as South Africans have about our country. This country has a lot of potential and i loved ur broad analysis

On electricity, America messed us up, because they buy A grade coal from us in tons but made our president sign a green energy contract to decommission our coal plants hence we have this mess

South Africa may not be the perfect utopia to live in (let’s be real, all countries have their flaws) but I am so proud to have grown up here and to call it my home 🇿🇦. SA is an incredibly beautiful country with beautiful people. I’ve had the privilege to travel to various countries in North America, Europe and Southern Africa, and I just love being on my home continent more than anything. I love traveling but I will always come back to Mzanzi ❤

[@Greatness-dd6pi]

Thank you for loving Umzansi. We love you too❤❤. Stay blessed.

Great to see that you experienced the real South Africa. 🇿🇦

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Well said and well done! Respect, no disagreements here

[@Mthethwa594]

We like tourists yea but the comparisons are not really necessary , Mzansi will always be Mzansi , we have enough troubles we busy trying to contain the foreigners situation and bang out of nowhere there’s people inviting the whole village people hayi boohh , don’t get me wrong we love tourists that’s as far we can go, we are where we are because of foreign interests sikhathele boohh🙆🏾‍♂️

[@jigga_pops4000]

How were you guys able to move to South Africa permanently? What visa are you on and how long did it take to get them ? I plan on moving out there in 2025 but it’s saying it takes at least 8 months to get a financially independent visa. Did it take that long for witch ever visa your on ?

[@samnkomo6784]

There are alot of the Internet options family , just need to ask around.

[@vukosiluthernkuna1464]

You need to check the northern part of the country as well like Limpopo, Northwest n Mpumalanga for more nature and cleaner air.

[@sophiemotiang5490]

Hey guys, hope you’re still enjoying your stay in SA. Miss you.

[@MfezekoMatshoba]

I don't know if we are referring to the same thing but what you showed on that chemtrail topic is actually a scientific phenomenon. Contrails happen here in SA too. Unless there's something I'm missing.

[@tulanisaniboy8160]

Where you at family???

[@moefitnwellness7062]

Thanks for the video. What are the steps you’ll took to move to South Africa?

[@thokomalangcobo1824]

When are you coming to Durban fam? Reside in Zimbali,Ballito or Mhlanga or La Lucia than explore the Durban area

[@veedge1]

A 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms is certainly not $50k in SA. In Cape Town, you will pay about $140k and above for that depending on the area and most of the country you will pay about $100k for that. You ofcourse can pay much more depending on the suburb but it's most certainly not $50k for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house.
