This sort of design is mainly identified in the United Kingdom. A place a visited last week called Middlesbrough has similar design. It is called the Centre Square, meet and greet park.

[@JayFocused]

Interesting. Thanks for watching. Are you British?

[@MosesMatsepane]

Awesome that you took the recommendation to come through to PTA. There's an area called Menlyn Maine, it's up market and super clean similar vibe to Rosebank. When you're at Menlyn Maine go to the roof top of 'The Capital Trilogy' for some awesome views.

[@JayFocused]

Thanks for the tips!

[@5Pointstarr]

Jay, you are really in love with Southern African countries. its a better fit for black americnas because of the infrastructures.

[@JayFocused]

I wouldn't say I'm in love. I appreciate each region of Africa for what it is. They all have big pros and big cons. Like anywhere

[@JohnHaze4666]

You were in the area that has a building where Nelson Mandela was sentenced if you go back to 5:9-5:10 the building shaded by the trea with two features on each end it's the one.

@@JayFocused great brother ,amazing to see you visited many places in south africa ,and not just one province or city.

[@JayFocused]

I try to get as broad of a view of every country as possible

[@lebo5281]

Pirara❤️ Legislative capital is Cape Town. Pitori is head of the Executive & diplomatic missions. Administration used to be centralised to Pretoria, nowadays there are some satellite offices in each region, so there is no longer a need to trek to Pretoria. You were actually very close to our Central Bank. The statue at Church Square is of Paul Kruger. He was a president of the Transvaal from 1883-1900 (South Africa used to have four colonies: The Cape, Natal, Orange Free State, and Transvaal.) A hero to the Afrikaner, a tyrant to the Africans.

[@JayFocused]

Thanks for the facts

[@chocon8818]

They should have moved that monument to the Voortrekker monument, not too far from there that celebrate the battle of blood river. The torrents of African blood that dyed that river red, demands that monument to be moved from Church square.

[@lebo5281]

@chocon8818 It's costly. We are not spending another cent on Paul Kruger while people starve.

[@JayFocused]

@chocon8818 👏🏽

[@nyoni_tour6677]

7:50 great move by saying that, he would have cleaned your shoes and demanded 100rands it happened to me at the airport but of course at the airports my guard was down 😅

[@JayFocused]

Thanks for sharing. My big city instincts kicked in.

[@chocon8818]

nyoni_tour, please have some sympathy for these young men. This country with Ferraris and Lamborghinis is the most unequal country in the world. Unemployment of black men is 70% in SA. R100 is just $5 to an American. That money could feed that man for a week.

[@nyoni_tour6677]

@@chocon8818 Of course I do, and I understand the circumstances, but it’s not cool to be lured in something you don’t know, then it’s money demanded it’s better to be informed what he wants to do, so that I agree or not if I cleand my shoes yesterday why must I get them cleaned again. I get the hustle but it must be learned to keep the guide up.

[@lifestylepretoria9181]

Pretoria streets used to be so clean. Now it is litter everywhere 😢

[@JayFocused]

When did it change?

[@lifestylepretoria9181]

@@JayFocused After Ramokgopa stopped being mayor. The DA came in and everything became a mess. Lawlessness is allowed, bylaws are not obeyed, foreigners influx with zero control from authorities. PTA will soon become like the Joburg CBD.

[@JayFocused]

I see

[@babajidekolawole2743]

Stop xenophobic propaganda

[@REDPILLEDSOUTHAFRICAN]

@@lifestylepretoria9181 Your lying, 1stly, VD Walt Street has always been dirty! ALWAYS! However most of the mess in PTA is a result of sabotage by ANC/EFF. What they do when they loose power is employ thugs to trash the city, vandalise and loot, then they say "look what happens when you dont allow us to rule, the racists neglect your living spaces: Secondly, bylaws are inforced now more than ever. Taxis at Menlyn are impounded for parking illegally. The taxi rank at Menyln has been cleaned up, hawkers have been removed. The two power stations which have been neglected under ANC rule are being jump started again. The city has received green audits for the first time in years. More than 20 people died in PTA North because some idiot called Edwin Saudi a black man from ANC stole all the money meant for water purification plants, bastard is living the life in Joburg driving luxury cars smashing IG baddies. The city is trying to hold him accountable and reverse the damage his corruption has done to the water supply in PTA North (Hammanskraal). If its true ANC is such a good party look at Joburg and Durban central. Its literally a filthy pig sty heaps of trash dumped by waste trucks cos Ramokgopa's gang are corrupt they stole the money for the waste removal contracts. ANC/EFF are, leftist woke parties whose entire existense is based on reminding people of Apartheid. Literally a few days ago, the ANC used the same lies to file a motion of no confidence in the mayor, but retracted it cos they couldnt prove the city got worse under leadership of a white man. Yes Preotia is not the cleanest but it is faar better than Joburg and Durban and safer too! Cape Town is the cleanest but guess what colour is the mayor? Matter fact PTA is actually less dangerous than Cape Town! The ANC/EFF have lost significant power after the elections, most South Africans wanna work together for a better future but those two parties just wanna steal everything, always going to the past and tell us to be greatful for Black leadership.. PS: I voted for Gayton McKenzie and Action SA

[@bennyhanna6]

Did you like Pretoria more than Johannesburg?

[@JayFocused]

Its hard to say. I need to see more of both cities to judge

[@REDPILLEDSOUTHAFRICAN]

Lol, that is the Paul Kruger statue i told u about earlier in the other video. Used to be mad hip hop cyphers back in the 2000s at that spot. They built a fence around it cos EFF wanted to vandalise it during the Rhodes Must Fall protests by the wokies. BTW, Pretoria actually comes from the Roman guard called Praetorians...Thats why some neighbourhoods in the city are called Arcadia/Centurion, those were names of elite Roman warriors. That explains the Romanesque architecture you noticed... Ja bro, respect for walking right into the worst parts of the city..I stay in the eastern suburbs and rarely venture where u went to unless i absolutely have too.That last huge building where u ended the video is actually the city parliament, one of the reasons why parts of the city are trashed is cos of decisions made by certain idiots in that building. Hint, you saw their posters... I just noticed the disturbing amount of abortion posters in your video, you only see those in areas with Black women...Gives u an idea of how cheaply they value life and their bodies...That is a red pill you can consider popping... Holla at me, we run a tented camp in the Mpumlanga mountains, pristine land, rivers, wildlife. Far away from the grime and urban rot of the big cities....Rarely get Black tourists, cos black people dont hike...U sound like an outdoors kinda rasta, if you are interested, comment and I will email you details of our off grid paradise

As for Capitals: Cape Town is the *LEGISLATIVE* capital. (Parliament) Pretoria is the *EXECUTIVE* capital. (President, gov department HQs, embassies, etc) Bloemfontein & Johannesburg are the *Judicial* co-capitals ( Supreme Court of Appeals & Constitutional Court, respectively.) 5:03 On the other side of the square with the statue is the Palace of Justice, where Nelson Mandela was tried and sentenced to life in prison in 1963.

[@youme1414]

Those colonial buildings are empty. They recently carry out urban renewal and gentrification of the area yet the people still throw trash around. The only country that cares about cleanliness in Africa is Rwanda. SA is not close at all. Thank you, sir.
