SCARED to visit Johannesburg?? WATCH THIS EP:4

[@Bhebe40]

I was in Johannesburg last Christmas, and i was safer there than London, i even drove to soweto alone and walked around chatting to people alone, no issues at al

[@lifeinprogressUK]

That's amazing to hear! We hear enough negative, it's refreshing to hear more positive stories

[@roblucci2366]

​@@lifeinprogressUKPeople in Cape Town are so out of touch with reality, especially white people. They seem to think that they live in a perfect utopia and the rest of South Africa is a warzone. You're right, they associate blackness with mediocrity

[@blackdynastyrsa658]

Thank you for saying your truth

[@lenbeckmann4311]

You should buy Beef biltong from a butchery or bilton kiosk. Do not buy pre-pack bilton from supermarkets. Its taste different. Game meat is not for everyone.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Ahh right, will try that next time

[@isoboy1000]

Factually, Cape Town is more dangerous than Johannesburg; they won't tell you that because the not-so-good areas are far away from the tourist spaces. People die daily of violent crime in Cape Town than in joburg because of gansterism, and to add on top of that Cape Town has more organised crime than Joburg.

[@bafongalo8156]

😂😂😂 you are talking nonsense. Look at the police stats and all these cities are mentioned. You cant single out any city. At least Cape Town has a CBD!

[@lifeinprogressUK]

thanks for sharing

[@roblucci2366]

​@@bafongalo8156You can't gloat about the CBD and sweep your dangerous townships under a rug. Khayalietsha and Manenberg are a part of Cape Town as much as Camps bay

[@frankmk7726]

You have no idea what you talking about, get ur facts straight

[@felvr705]

​@bafongalo8156 he is not talking nonsense. The Atlantic strip security is owned by the underworld. Let residents terminate that security contract and watch what will happen. No restaurant or club can trade there without paying protection fee

[@benitamarias-vanvuuren4934]

I just love you guys and I’m very glad that your SA experience is good so far. Be careful but there’s no need to live in fear. Yes there are bad people but the good people are exceeding them by far. I had a good chuckle when mom tried to look at your nail. The little green Mr Johnson is called a hottentotsgod in Afrikaans 😂. So sorry but I really don’t know the English name for it. Best off luck with the rest of your stay and I really hope you will come back and experience the rest of our beautiful country.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

I think it may be a praying mantis perhaps, well at least that's what google says. Yes we totally agree, be careful, be cautious but not fearful, that is no way to live, you wouldn't leave your house if you listened to every bad thing. Thank you for your kind words, it is very much appreciate

[@schumikhanyile7481]

The biltong part. Must try beef biltong. No surprises with so many 'and/or's & a small packet that it's from Woolies(Woolworths)😂.

[@Mariella01.05]

“Im not gonna do it” 👀 😂 sounds like my Mum looool Eli is such a happy kid 🥰❤️ so glad you guys can make great memories together ❤

loool "just let me see" yeah right lol Yes he really is 🥰 Yes it's lovely to make memories as a family but also lovely to be able to share snippets with you 😊

[@Mariella01.05]

@ love that!! 🥰 reason why we need more videossssss 🥳💃🏽

[@rudzanimunyai2090]

I'm glad your experience has been wonderful. Western Media has always shared terrible and unjust outlook of South Africa & Africa as Continent. Our people need to travel more and dispel all the stereotypes and misconceptions. Take Care!

[@Stizo2002]

Woolworths is equivalent to Marks n Spencer. Best biltong is sold at biltong vendors that is the best.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Ahh ok, we will have to try that next time

[@KODE0101]

the west/Europeans have been taught that Africa is bad and unsafe. To me, any one that's from outside of Africa I view as ignorant and I would rather people not visit my country if they're specifically looking for the bad. Africa is a beautiful place and like every corner of the world, it has its problems but Africa is bigger than one small area that's bad because of the systems that were put in place to keep African people down.

[@leonardolupini3484]

SA is not called unsafe for nothing. Most of it has been captured by thugs and lawlessness. Don't be fooled, the country is another 3rd world disaster because the ANC only knows corruption, and nothing else. Shameful.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

yup agree. We have been to north, east, south and soon west, Africa is beautiful, we need write our own narratives

[@proudlysa774]

@@KODE0101 True.I worked in UK for many years.My landlord asked whether do we have electricity, telephones, running water in South Africa 🤔🤔😂 That was around 2010.My answer was "South Africa is a jungle"

​@@leonardolupini3484Yet you're still here, I wonder why🤔

[@KingOfBlankes]

All cities and towns have their bad parts. I have seen places in the States and Europe that I wouldn't want to go into as an African

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Yes like we stated in our video, so true !

[@lebo5281]

Your mom seems so cool🤍. Best place to buy anything that is considered traditional cuisine, is outside the "formal" stores. Best biltong is at a stall where you choose the cuts and weigh the portions eg. at a Biltong hut if there is one nearby.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Ahh I see ! Thank you ! Yes she’s a cool mum ! ❤️❤️

[@KS3_Samela]

In South African Zulu Culture the Mentis symbolises your Ansestors are with u. The green one ur old grandmother and the Dark one is ur old grandfather.

the thing about johannesburg is the bad places are so bad that the news washes out the rest of johannesburg but yeah stay away from the bad places which is in joburg cbd more so hillbro but theres places in the cbd that is also ok ull notice it when you get there but the rest of joburg is reletively safe i was also scared of joburg and im from south africa but pretoria which in comparison is reletively slower where as joburg has a very fast life style but going there more and more im starting to see its not too bad

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Oh right. Thanks for your comment :)

[@smithnxumalo7590]

We are the ones who can change all these bad stereotypes about South Africa 🇿🇦 and even worse because, people who talk nonsense about South Africa are black people from the diaspora which is bad. There’s no place no perfect on earth and remember guys in all our provinces, you will always find Black South Africans dominating🌍. No matter how western media they talk bad about but it suprise that All those white folks they coming here in numbers to enjoy the quality of life with fresh food. Enjoy your stay guys 🙏🏻peace out and we love you 🇿🇦🙇‍♀️.

Buy biltong from a biltong store; it comes in a paper bag. A thousandfold better than whatever you can get from a grocery store.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

oh ok, will remember that

[@akaashkat7037]

Guys you need some real fresh biltong

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Definitely

[@izanamiledwaba1330]

Thats not the biltong to go for. Never buy the processed prepackaged one. It needs to be fresh!

[@lifeinprogressUK]

ah next time, next time

[@abster4709]

Agreed! Also, chilli biltong, freshly sliced from the butcher is always a banger👌

[@felvr705]

Yeah always buy biltong at a biltong shop. All the malls in South Africa have biltong shops. The freshest they sliced it in front of you

[@nobesuthumooki7936]

They scared u cz they know u'll find your relatives joburg is better than Cape town be bless u'v been lost for so many years

It feels good to be in a place with our brothers and sisters

[@bushbabybotha9943]

Actually JHB is the worst city in South Africa! Unfortunately these people wasted a great trip to see the ugliest place in the country. They should see the garden route and drakensberg etc instead.

[@morenakhaya655]

Mugabe once said england is cold n Dey live in small houses😂😂

[@lifeinprogressUK]

lol actually that’s kinda true lol there are areas of houses that are mansions but for the majority, especially in cities, most houses are quiet narrow and attached to one another, no real compounds and small gardens, if they have a garden at all.

[@Devine2067]

People use their particular experience as a reflection of the entire south africa, this is wrong 😢

[@lifeinprogressUK]

it is wrong indeed

[@BillySehurutshe-bh4je]

You really want to see South Africa try to go to Soweto See how you people live that side find the guide nothing will happen to you really see South Africa as it is turn just explore away the middle class and the rich people I see where even the app or people where they live how they leaving the site I would like to see that take a courage and explore that side also

We are used to this western lense propaganda. In South Africa, every province is majority African, even the Cape Province.

[@abdulkayira5559]

welcome to the motherland. when it comes to Africa people make it feel like you find dead bodies allover the streets. ,people just want to put Africa down while milking it of its resources. i've been to over 40 countries and every country i go to people worn us of certain areas that are dangerous. i,ve been to south America, central America all over ,the Carribeans the likes of jamaica , Trinidad , mexico,brazil Guyana etcs those counties are more dagerous than Africa , but because of ignorance they vicitmize Africa. actually most of those countries don't even come closer to what we have here. look at our architecture with concrete materials not even America the so called first world can win this. the quality of life at a fraction of what you pay in western countries

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Our parents are Jamaican and Trinidadian, if you look back at our vlogs you'll see we were in Trinidad and Tobago for 3 weeks this year, it has a similar reputation to Joburg and just like Joburg, the dangerous crimes isn't happening everywhere, all the time. We went to town where they would say so much muggings would happen but yet in the groceries stores you could leave your handbags or backpacks on the shelves right by the door and no one is touching them. We need to start creating our own narratives, which is what we are trying to do with this channel. Thanks for your comment

You guys need to buy biltong from a Butcher wet and fatty.. preferably white butcher

[@lifeinprogressUK]

Why white specifically?

[@JuicyJLee]

@lifeinprogressUK because Biltong is an Afrikaners thing they started it. It's like getting a pizza made by Italian Vs being made my American, the American might be good at making pizza but when you trying something for the first time get it made by the originators

[@penekedirero4636]

​@@JuicyJLeeRubbish, bilto is not white, whites appropriate this African delicacy, we call it sehwapa in SeSotho and other ethnic groups have their own names. This came from the fact that African did not have cool storage so they sun dried their animal catch. Even the so called pootjie was also appropriated we call it setjhu and you want me to tell you how we came up with this dish? 😂
