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.

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.

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.

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.

It's 12, cause they added sign language as an official language some time back - Tswana, Sotho, Pedi, Zulu, Swati, Ndebele, Xhosa, Venda, Tsonga, English, Afrikaans and Sign Language

Bro are you serious about if the lower the crime rate 😂. Can you compare Joburg to any US cities in crime?
@travelconnect1 Жыл бұрын
Yes. If they lower the crime rate.
@travelconnect1 Жыл бұрын
I wouldn't move to any U.S city with a comparable crime rate as Johannesburg either. Not unless I had a significant business opportunity there.

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
@travelconnect1 Жыл бұрын
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.

Well, each to his own. Jo'burg is not my kind of destination. If you live in any US city, Jo'burg is just another one which happens to be in SA. There are amazing places outside our cities, but I guess will not suit city folk. If it has to be a city, try Cape Town next...

Next time you come to SA tell me I will show you the real JHB not the one shown here. You should know the culture of JHB, its people, food clothing styles, its workers and working conditions, its townships, sports days, night life and farm life. You guys don't know JHB' You must at least stay for a month so you have a full experience of JHB . I can host you easily. Most of you only show few areas

I wish I could stay that long, but it's not possible. I just left Cape Town a couple days ago. Good times.
