As an African American, I visited Joburg this past March, and had the time of my life. The people and the country stole my heart. I really wish they dispel this propaganda about South Africans don't like us and the crime rate is high. Hell the crime in the US is higher. Anyway, I'm looking forward to going back the first of the year and soon be relocating there. Thanks for sharing your experience and much blessings and Ubuntu!

Actually, no, the crime rate is higher in South Africa than in the US. If you just look at the homicide rate, it is 6.4 per 100,000 inhabitants in the US, while it is 45.5 per 100,000 in South Africa. These are official UN statistics. I do appreciate the sentiment, and it is true that South Africa is a great place. But let's not kid ourselves about crime.

They say that about every African country. Somehow they've convinced themselves that half the planet hates them even though most people don't even have an opinion on them. I guess that happens when you've massacred an entire country's population right after instituting a far worse system of oppression than even the apartheid govt.

There's so much miss information about SA it's just sad and a lot people are missing out on amazing experiences because of what they often hear from the media and perhaps few individuals, African Americans are celebrated in SA and by far most people you would meet as a black American would be fascinated by you because there's just not many that visits SA.

From what I have heard, the crime rate in Johannesburg is lower than the crime rate in 50 of the American major Cities. In particular the murder rate, but that doesn't mean that the Johannesburg crime rate is not high. My point is that if you can survive in 50 of the American major Cities, then you can survive in Johannesburg, because in Joburg the crime would be lower overall.

Always love in South Africa. Rumors of Africans don’t like Blacks Americans come from apices that fear Africans uniting with Black Americans. These fears come from certain groups in the USA who can’t handle it and fear competition if the two join forces. Even racist Americans fear Blacks Americans leaving the USA. And, so I’ve learned, there are some warp minded Black Americans groups are determined to keep Blacks Americans from expanding links to Africa. Very very bizarre people with nothing better to do than invent lies and seed hate.

I live in Jozi and have to say that this video is the best and most comprehensive I have seen as a guide to the city. The only comment I have to make is that the reviewer stayed at the Hilton, an American hotel chain. A Hilton is a Hilton in London, Paris, NYC, or anywhere else in the World. We have many 5* hotels and he would have got a more authentic experience had he stayed in a South African owned and run hotel.

I agree. Great video. I was disappointed in the hotel choice for same reason stated. However, most Americans are not aware of brands beyond those in the USA so they stay where they know. The reviewer is also in Hilton’s loyalty program so it would be the default place to consider economically. That said, USA hotels are usually very boring compared to African /local hotels.

And they even sell it in Wal-Mart the same place they get food. I on the other hand have never even seen a gun in real life if not from law enforcement and can't even remember the last time a person in my family experienced crime.

People can be stupid at times. What kind of a question is this. You ask as if there's a place called xenophobia where you can go, watch and form an opinion. Xenophobia is a continental phenomena. It's not an SA problem and it's not a permanent occurance. The USA is also having its own xenophobic problems wherein the Haitians are not welcome in many black dominated communities. Maybe you have another name for it but we in SA have the same issues that the AA have with foreigners. I'm happy your question was ignored.

SA is the only country in the world that has been given a rep to this common phonomena. I am South African based in the USA and I can tell you that USA citizens are xenophobic too; but it is excused as frustration of citizens due to foreigners occupying and taking resources meant for them. It is funny when people ask about South Africa's "xenophobia" not realizing their destain for Mexican, Haitans, Jamaicans, Dominicans, Bulgarians, Polish and other foreign nationals is actually xenophobic.

This was something I heard from a few black Americans. That's why I thought it was important to share my personal experience for others who might have heard the same.

It's 12 million people in the greater area made up of 3 metropolitan areas Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Mogale City. The OR Tambo airport is actually in Ekurhuleni. Johannesburg is made up of 11 individual cities. 1- Germiston 2- Kempton Park 3- Boksburg 4- Benoni 5- Alberton 6- Randburg 7- Rosebank 8- Sandton City 9- Roodepoort 10- Midrand 11- and Johannesburg inner city. All these areas combined are 12 million people.

Wait a minute is there still racial tension in south africa 🇿🇦? Im white from the states too. So my real question is Johannesburg like the southern part of the states or is it like california where theres a lot of diversity?
@travelconnect1
@travelconnect1 7 ай бұрын
It isn't racial tension like you see in America per se...it shows itself in the form of inequalites, lack of job opportunities, etc (a big reason why affirmative action was started in America). How else could 8% of the population (whites) hold the vast majority of the wealth. I'm not from there, but this is what I've been told and saw in some places. Hopefully someone from SA can jumb in and educate us both more.

How do you know about Joburg crime if you didnt see or experinced it.You also mentioned that joburg is the first city you visited in Africa, yet when you concluded your video, you saying Joburg is one of the nice cities you visited in Africa. Im confused, make it make sense???

🤣🤣🤣I was asking myself the same thing about the nicest city he has ever visited. Then I checked the channel and I realized he's been to many other African cities. I think he came to Johannesburg first previously but never documented the experience, it might have been the second or third time he came to around. He's got good content, I'm subscribing.

At least we don’t have gang violence, and racial killings. We wear our hoodies with no fear of being racial profiling, we get stopped by cops with zero fear of being shot for just being black. There are so many places to live in, in Joburg alone without crime paranoia. So get the crime stereotype out your head and live life

The crime in Joburg isn't a stereotype. It's a fact. Relax fam, I love Johannesburg and have visited many times. I just wouldn't live in any city in the world (including cities in my own country) that has that high of a crime rate. Personally preference.
