South Africa | First Impressions of The Real South Africa new experiences from Atlanta

[@joycho2925]

Too much goose bumps on this video. Real men speaking from the depths of their hearts. As a South African living in the United Kingdom, right in the city of London, there’s nothing comparable. The South African atmosphere is comparable to none, it is healing and refreshing. You own your dignity back and increase in value. That’s what South Africa is all about.

[@therock-oh2yw]

I love reading these comments. thank you south africa for all the love you show us african americans. i am moving to the cotinent in 2022 and have decided that south africa is the best place for me. I decided that south africa is best for me because african americans and south africans have more in common and have similiar shared histories which i call the fellowship of sufferings for we have been through it with these white folks.lol I believe we can relate more and see things kind of the same way also you all are the most developed and the big dog on the continent and we are used to a certain way of living that you all are acustome to also and it would be easy to settle in with missing a step. I just do not believe no other african country can suit african americans like south africa. cant wait to get their with you all and see which tribe you think i am from over there because i look like you all also.

In South Africa please try to get information from South Africans about our country. There are many African tour guides in SA but the true story of South Africa can only be told by a South African. I could tell you about African countries but I could never do justice to another African country like I could to South Africa.

[@nunewsmama3461]

Nothing like a Johannesburg thunderstorm on a summer's day, or the mist when you drive down to Mpumalanga early in the morning, or the chill in your bones on a Johannesburg winter's day. Or the need to take another shower when a just finished showering in KwaZulu-Natal, morning, noon or night. The chill of the Atlantic ocean when you take a swim on a hot summer's day. Never mind that you have to prepare for all seasons in Cape Town on one day. The quiet, wide open spaces of the North Cape, the green valleys and awe inspiring mountains of the drakensberg, the passionate intensity of farmers in the Free State, the beautiful smiles and patience of our people. Just beautiful. I am completely in love with my country. Welcome and enjoy the experience.
