Final Toastmasters Speech in Johannesburg, South Africa

The goodbyes have began as we make this move back to The States from Johannesburg, South Africa. As a fairly new member of Toastmasters International I made my last speech as member of the great Morningside Toastmasters Club, Inc. Also I get to show and share a few members of the club that you would be introduced to if you are looking to be apart of such a great organization. Cheers and enjoy!

We will seriously miss this family... you have been realy part of us ....please come back

[@clairandrews2446]

Ricky thank you and Christyle for sharing your journey and experiences with us. Following your channel, I have been able to get a lot of useful info that I'll be able to apply and pursue as I get ready to make a move to SA early 2025. The info you shared has definitely given me a much better understanding and what to expect in SA. I pray you and your family the best and blessings from TMH as you begin to transition for your move back to Tampa.

I had no idea there was such a thing as 'toastmasters' to help with public speaking. Might have to look into this🤔

[@Christine_M_Jones]

Business idea 4 family is to be S.A. Tourism Ambassadors ...they are good in advertising a place or sell the idea for those wanna make a move to S.A.

[@Brother_Obadiah]

@Ricky you stated you heard from God to move to South Africa. Would you mind sharing why God sent you and your family there for less than a year? What is the hind site testimony to God's glory?

[@Brother_Obadiah]

From my perspective and opinion it appears the visit back to the states with the familarity and comforts led to the decision to move back. With all due respect it contradicts all of your previous videos where you implied that SA is better, than the States. Just saying what I believe many are feeling and thinking.

[@Mhlanga_SiphoJ]

You need to deal with your own insecurities.. wherever you are, be it the SA or the US. What if he found it hard to survive in SA without active income? So where does comparison feature there if that were to be the case. I have lived in NYC for over a year now. The conveniences & comforts between NY & JHB are relatively not far apart if you remove the glits and glamour of NY.

[@Brother_Obadiah]

@@Mhlanga_SiphoJ Why deal in the what if, when we can ask for full transparency. Previous videos made SA appear like the paradise we all are missing out. In less than a year, it's now a move back to the states. Why not be fully transparent??? There is a level of responsibilty when your previous videos had people preparing to move.

[@Mhlanga_SiphoJ]

I get you. He created a hype more especially for his contemporaries here in the US. There's a likelihood that people were preparing to join him in SA and then boom he's coming back. So my issue is you trying to deduce or find your own reasons why he is coming back. Rather nudge him to reveal his reasons, there's no inherent responsibility for him to reveal why he is leaving SA apart from the reasons he has already given. But I get you, it is dampening to those who were planning to relocate to SA.

[@Mhlanga_SiphoJ]

..and if may add, I am from SA now living in Brooklyn, so I have seen and experienced comparably the same in terms of time spent as the Jones. If you can afford, the quality of life for an average person - food & dwelling - JHB beats NYC hands down. I was compelled to be a vegan here, and still the produce (vegetables) leaves a lot to be desired. The neighborhood I live in, a studio easily takes away $3000.00/M. With that money you can rent a mansion in JHB, a high end one for that matter. So the convenience and comfort you allude to aaah..!
