Please go back and tell all Africans in american to come back home, if not, at least pay us a visit - you owe it to yourselves... The T"RSA" govt.(or the entire continent) should consider dual citizenship for the diaspora. It's undoubtedly home - I can't wait to see the rest of Africa myself.

Dude, I’m a huge fan and have been watching your channel for quite some time now...I absolutely love it...I’m saying this in jest “tongue in cheek” but your channel could easily be renamed “The Real Johannesburg” 😜 no seriously though, as someone originally from Cape Town, I truly love Jhb, having lived there myself for 16 years but I’m hoping you extend your channel to introducing the people back home in the US to everything that Cape Town has to offer (as well as other parts of the country)...I can so easily see you and your wife put packages together that will really blow the minds of your US counterparts, taking them to all the beautiful places that Cape Town has to offer, leaving them in awe and with the most memorable experiences...e.g. winelands, short sunrise hikes up Lions Head, Table Mountain, Cape Point Nature Reserve, Shark Cage Diving, Aquila Safari, Sunset Boat Cruises, fine cuisine, Food Markets etc etc. Who knows, perhaps you guys can breakaway for an entire summer and just soak it all up at the coast, emerging yourselves with the locals and learn more than what you already know about life in Cape Town? And in doing so, taking us South Africans and the US audience on the journey along with you guys 👍🏻😉

[@helpermlekeleli8057]

Cape Town landscape is awesome but social cohesion.... Cape Town is lovely to many people as a tourist destination. This is true even for most South Africans who can easily afford to buy and live in Cape Town

[@Van_Wilder]

@@helpermlekeleli8057 ;-) I’ve had this discussion plenty of times over the years and it’s apparent that their are two schools of thought on this matter...nonetheless, it’s irrelevant (no disrespect) as my objective stems from having watched so many TRSA videos...is to sell South Africa and all its diverse beauty to the many of the naive Americans that come over for the first time with their preconceived mindsets about our country. What I’ve seen is that they are indeed blown away and pleasantly surprised when visiting our country but mostly having being taken aback on what they experienced in Johannesburg which as previously stated, a city I myself am quite fond of...but it would be nice to to hear their experiencing and thoughts on Cape Town, given the constant negative report they receive from their US media and news networks about South Africa as a whole. Where they decide to reside (should they decide to make that transition) is entirely their choice...but giving them options so diverse as CT to Durban to Johannesburg would be....I guess mind blowing to them, leaving them with so much to take in and talk about when they fly back home.

[@helpermlekeleli8057]

@@Van_Wilder Yeah I fully understand and you're absolutely right. I wish the company can respond in this conversation as well. However, the AAs do visit Cape Town and Durban, especially those that come for a month or 90 days. I am remembering Millicent and Asha who visited both Durban and Cape town as well to see what it like. What I have picked up is that for those who want to make a transition to the country, it is largely about culture than the scenery. Hence, Johannesburg is always likely to a preferred choice because it is a point of departure to any other destination. Also, social life is better here in Johannesburg than the other two metros, economic environment is also mjch better in joburg than the other two metros. If was coming from a country where black people are harrassed and does not have much economic power, I wouldn't want to be subjected to the Western Cape socio-economic realities which project a black person as a servant than an equal player. Joburg is like Wakanda for some black folks. Mark had stayed in Clifton beach and loved it but in terms of culture and social life, they saw that Joburg provides more life than Cape Town.

@ 18:50 the brother mentions the DRESS CODE...I am from Papua New Guinea, and the very first time I heard good things about South Africa (after years of hearing about apartheid ) was in 1996.I was the only black person sitting inside a pub full of white people in Townsville, Australia, when a white South African man and his wife, a South African Indian woman, both walked towards me with big smiles on their faces. They thought I was from Africa but when I told them I was from Papua New Guinea, they began telling me about the positive things in South Africa.They told me about how the houses,apartments,hotels etc in South Africa are more stylish than the ones in Australia..then the man said this about the dress code in South Africa. "If you see the way Black boys in South Africa dress up, you'd think they just came down from Heaven, they look fantastic when they dress, they are on a different level when it comes to dressing".. I was told this back in 1996 and now it's been fully confirmed. God bless South Africa.

@@colin60366 actually, africa is in need of a ton of doctors, engineers, and other highly skilled professionals, to meet the needs it has. i mean, if people in the u.s. complain there is a shortage of internal medicine/general practitioner doctors, imagine the need in africa. but your pride and probably slight disdain for black americans prevent you from recognizing these facts.

[@colin60366]

@@orangemoonglows2692 fair enough assuming that most black people in America are doctors and engineers what is the education gap between black Americans and every other racial group in America. The most educated people in those professions are not black Americans so your point would be let other races go take over Africa so it can be rich like American according to your understanding.i am assuming that you have not been to Africa yourself because you seem to think that Africa is a country not a continent by the way Americans are by far the most poor people in the sense that majority of people live on credit cards a very small number owns land or property. Finally your understanding of being rich is showing that it's so shallow you think the West holds the standard of life all over the world. The reason why people are moving to Africa in large numbers is because they have found it to be better in some places.I hope you will visit Africa someday you will find out that material things is not the only thing that will equate someone to being rich.
