Bloemfontein. Pereng e tshweu sengangata ❤️❤️

Nice one Mooshtaffa; and very smart Tourism SA! Let's build patriotism again, and take it one step further. Add South African history to school, and rebuild our SA from within.

The city of ROSES ....my CITY

[@thabommasa6663]

Currently residing in Bloem.... previous lived in PTA as well as CPT. Bloem is relatively affordable and friendly to live in not to mention theres less crime than the latter mentioned cities

[@Azaniashabari29angel]

Wow rich history

[@mhlathuze]

@@Azaniashabari29angel indeed it’s rich history and in my view it should remain history. We are probably the only country with so many capitals and spending too much flying the government officials around in business classes.

[@itumelengseeco2844]

@@mhlathuze government officials fly economy locally (it's been like that for a while now)

[@mhlathuze]

@@itumelengseeco2844 still the flight tickets do not come cheap. The state is spending too much transporting the government officials. But who am I to even suggest that, our government seem to enjoy spending more, they even increased the cabinet to satisfy GNU partners 🙈

Good work young man,love your channel.one of the best I've subscribed to.

[@dumingwenya7388]

Are you doing a national tour? That would actually be very educative

[@mooshtaffa]

Not really. Just travel a lot more coz i'm from the EC, so was coming back from home and I wanted to highlight bloem.

[@relebohilemalika3564]

Hey from Bloem

[@anelemlambo497]

if i were given power i would make bloem the only capital, move admin and legislation there make union buildings and cape town parliament museums and archive buildings.

[@mooshtaffa]

Why ????! LOL

[@Geneduke]

@@mooshtaffa, maybe build an economy and make it attractive to investors? That's what the government needs to do. The economy is shifting to Cape Town, and the cost of living is too high. That's why we have people building informal settlements everywhere because they can't afford to pay rent and send money home. Housing and transportation is a problem. I am from Bloemfontein, and it pains me so much that I have to leave my family and look for opportunities elsewhere.

[@priscillamt2476]

@@mooshtaffa I say that would be a good thing for SA making bloem the capital is good because bloem is in the middle of SA making it easily accessible from all provinces and a single capital would lead to more efficient decision ,making and if any surrounding state were invade it would hard for them to come in the capital .

[@decepticon8000]

​@@priscillamt2476There's more people in Khayelitsha alone than in Bloemfontein, so you would have to find a way to move those people to Bloem, and people from Pretoria plus other neighbourhoods in Cape Town.

[@sibusisonkomo1543]

​@@decepticon8000that wouldn't be a problem I would just build a bigger version of Cape flats but with bigger flats and make it gated and add cameras all the place and plus blown has so many land around it so they is enough space to put all the people in SA there.The problem is will there be jobs for those people?

[@sihlethango844]

Somehow Joburg feels like the capital city of South Africa 😊

[@mooshtaffa]

🤣🤣 commercial capital yes … but the other things. Not so much

[@FictionHubZA]

Financial and cultural capital.

Pietermaritzburg is the fourth Capital city

[@mhlathuze]

@@aarongunnz9513 Pietermaritzburg was the capital of Natal if my memory serves me correctly. The British used it as their capital for justice and administration related matters.

[@FictionHubZA]

Used to be.

[@MT-04]

​@@mhlathuze Wasn't ULundi the KZN capital?

[@mhlathuze]

@@MT-04 Ulundi was the home of the late King His Majesty Cetshwayo kaMpande . For that reason IFP being aligned to the Zulu Monarchy pushed for Ulundi to become the capital and in fact when IFP had strong influence in KZN, the provincial legislature was in Ulundi. But over the time ANC was pushing for the provincial capital and legislature to be at Umgungundlovu (Pietermaritzburg) citing travelling costs as Ulundi is not very central being in Nothern KZN. Eventually ANC won and the legislature is now In PMB. But before apartheid regime when Zulus were fighting wars with British, there was KwaZulu which was under traditional leaders control, and Natal which had British control and its capital was PMBURG

[@aarongunnz9513]

@@mhlathuze oh ok Supposed they demoted it in 1961?

[@mhlathuze]

3 capitals system need to change in my view to minimize travel cost between these three capitals, imagine having on capital where parliament, executive and judicial in one city. This was once mentioned before

[@aobakweCup326D]

I'm glad you not the President. Imagine.

[@mhlathuze]

@@aobakweCup326D and obviously you see a problem with my view. Judge President would have taken a flight paid by the state from Bloem to Cape Town to preside over the opening the formation of government. When the President goes to answer questions in Parliament he would fly from Pretoria to Cape Town, at whose expense? State funded of course Ministers have to account in parliament meaning they will travel between the two cities. How much money can be saved if it was all in one capital?

[@mooshtaffa]

LOL, decentralization works for me. it keeps cities like Bloemfontein alive and working. Just like PMB being the capital of KZN and not DBN.

[@suh-guy]

Now all the power gets concentrated in 1 city? That makes it easier for the nation to be taken over.

​@mooshtaffa I do agree, WC racist already want independence, it's great to remind them CPT is part of SA land by having parliament there
