South African tap water not something to sniff at. Just saying if you don't want to buy. Some of the best water in the world as rated.

[@nomfunekonosilela3895]

Our tap water in South Africa is safe to drink. Mostly we keep bottled water in the fridge so we could have cold water when we go outside in the sun but generally we drink from the tap

On weekends try Fourways (4ways) Farmers Market to get various types of foods, culture, and live music in nature Our indigenous fruits are more found in other provinces like Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu Natal, North West, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, fruits and nuts like kei apples, monkey orange, Morula, Macadamia nuts, Mobola plum, different types of grapes and berries. Gauteng sells common known fruits

[@honeydebash1622]

you don't have to be afraid of getting robbed etc. chances of that happening are slim. if you're lost, don't make it obvious. walk into the nearest store and ask an employee for directions. google map your destination and select the walking icon etc. don't walk down dark or empty alleys. petty thieves are opportunists - don't be careless with your belongings & be aware of your surroundings. enjoy beautiful SA

Joburg is truly a global city, they just need to clean up the CBD.

[@lifeinprogressUK]

I wonder how they would begin to do that, any ideas?

[@roblucci2366]

​@@lifeinprogressUKThe CBD is very big, there are some very beautiful areas like Marshalltown,Braamfontein, Newton, Maboneng etc. These are places you can visit and have adequate security Andv then we have your bad areas like Berea, Hillbrow and Yeoville that have a high concentration of African immagrants and are considered the wild West, I'd avoid these areas if I were you

Woolworths is basically your M&S. I love Woolies. They can do no wrong. Everything they make and sell is better than anything from PicknPay, Spar or Checkers. Also, the bus takes people to the original CBD alot which for me isn't the best but I guess there is history there. Sandton sort of replaced the CBD for the financial hub. Joburg actually has many cities if you think of it not just one.

Also Virgin Gyms are now owned by a local company after being bought from Richard Brandon years back. All gyms worldwide incl those in the UK. Bought by local businessman Christopher Worse who also owns Pound Saver , New Look and Wilco among others in the UK.

[@AmoMoëti]

​@@lifeinprogressUK The name is Christo wiese

[@craiganderson3687]

@lifeinprogressUK lol it must be a Typo ( Predictive text on my phone is b*tch) his name is Christo Wiese. He also owns the biggest supermarket chain throughout Africa called ShopRite and Checkers among other businesses. There are tons of SA companies that spend the globe like a bank you might know in the UK called Investec and some insurance companies too. Also Woolworths for years had a huge share in Marks and Spencer. And of course you know that Nandos is South African. South African companies have a huge presence on the London Stock Exchange too. SA is a very interesting country and Joburg in particular has influenced the world for over a century and it all started with Gold and Diamonds. Particularly DeBeers that control the world diamond industry worldwide. Hence the wealth in Joburg.

The number they give in SA is way less, it is because a lot of people don't engage into the census. We don't even know the exact amout of foreigners eorse the illegal that r in South Africa. We assume all in all they might be 10 or 20 million, obviously there us more illegal foreigners from Africa than legal foreigners.
