SOUTH AFRICA: Cities, Tourism and Crime. What's REALLY going on?

As a South African travel vlogger, I want to thank you for this video showcasing our country in the manner you did. We get a lot of negative publicity in the wider media so this is refreshing to see. The magic of South Africa gets even better outside the cities - the small towns and villages in the countryside and along the coast. Safe travels!

[@GrootmanSipho]

For those wondering, the reason that the Western Cape generally looks better than the rest of South Africa, is due to the Democratic Alliance (political party) running the province as opposed to the ANC (political party) ruling the rest of South Africa. The Western Cape once looked like the rest of South Africa because they were also under the ANC rule until they realised the ANC’s incompetence and elected the DA in 2006. In that space of time, the Western Cape has become the best run province in South Africa.

The video is comprehensive. Gold brought a lot of immigrants to Johannesburg, built from nothing in 138 years. Prosperity peaked in 1980, then gold production declined. Over the last 30 years the economy has declined about -60% (based on the exchange rate). About 66% earn so little they or their spouse quality for a government grant.

KHOISAN..are NOT Coloured people...Also being Khoe and being San/Abathwa are two totally different African groups ..one is a hunter gatherer and the other is pastoralist..Also they didnt like each other because Abathwa/San use to steal/hunt cattle from the Khoe..

South Africa is a cruel and unjust society. It deeply saddens me to see tourist and people living in the big cities and gated communities paint it as this Lion king fantasy. When in reality the average citizen faces many hardships and fears that the outside world would never be able to comprehend. Many innocent people face tragic deaths , hijacking’s and assaults. So please remember this the next time you’re on holiday there in a comfortable hotel or in a gated house with a pool. I know my words are harsh but please understand why. Horrendous things are happening to good people and it’s being completely overlooked.

Hi . I also agree that this is the good marketing for South Africa. I am a South African living between Johannesburg and East London. I have been to all the places in the video except Mpumalanga. You presented South Africa well. There is hope in this country but it is messed up by politicians, black and white regardless of their political ideologies.

[@thato596]

Okay khoi and san are 2 groups with different African languages. And they are black people not coloured. Because coloured in SA means mixed raced in other countries. Many African ethnicities you find today were already living in SA long before colonization. Almost all countries in the world have many different indigenous ethnicities and SA is not different

This is exactly what I commented on. They are black he just scared to say it lol.. Even black people they produce light skinned black people and they are still black hahah just ask them

Fair fair review of South Africa, looking at all angles of the country. However also get balance comment from all spheres of the South African society, because someone might have a different opinion about corruption in South Africa which not only is done by the governing party but by the private sector (deep state) as well.

Why are you misrepresenting the history of the first residents of South Africa? Where did you get this version of history? It's important to note that the history presented by colonial powers, particularly white Europeans, about Africa often reflects their perspectives and biases. While your content is engaging, I urge you to avoid perpetuating inaccuracies about African history. Much of our history has been preserved through oral traditions passed down through generations, not written records, and it deserves to be respected and told authentically. Thanks for representing South Africa on your channel.
