Waterfall City South Africa Megaproject. South Africa's Mega Project.
If you think big, then you know big on the African continent means South Africa is involved. Speaking of big, we've decided to talk about an enormous project. We're talking about the much-publicized Waterfall City project. Waterfall City is a mixed-use mega-development project located halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria. It is a master-planned, holistically conceived urban enclave created totally from scratch on 2200 hectares of unoccupied ground. This massive city-building project in Waterfall City blends a hyper-modernist emphasis on "smart" growth, cutting-edge technologies, and cutting-edge infrastructure with a New Urbanist emphasis on mixed-use facilities, a human-scale built environment, and pedestrian-friendly districts.
Waterfall City's real estate developers have effectively replaced public authority with private management and control by handling all of the traditional tasks of a municipal administration. Waterfall City is an outstanding embodiment of a privately run municipality that comes within the broad history of company towns, treaty concessions, free ports, and independent city-states, with its private governance structures and "go it alone" ethos. Aside from its vast size and administrative autonomy, Waterfall City stands out for its unique blend of strict religious compliance based on a traditional understanding of Islamic principles with a forward-thinking devotion to private entrepreneurship and consumerist consumerism.
Waterfall City is a sprawling, mixed-use real estate development that brings together business commercial activities, high-end residential components, and leisurely lifestyle amenities in a single location in the heart of Africa's fastest-growing metropolitan region, roughly halfway between Johannesburg central city and Pretoria. Waterfall City, along with other neighboring megaprojects that are either under construction or in the planning phases, provides a whole new direction for city development in metropolitan Africa. This self-contained satellite city symbolizes a new paradigm for city building in the Greater Johannesburg metropolitan region that emerged after apartheid ended. It has been dubbed "the greatest property development in South African history" and the real estate "coup of the century."

South Africa has big infrastructure problems, load shedding as power stations have been shut down.... Then when the power comes back on fuses blow and residents sit without power for hours. By the time they finally come out to fix it then it's load shedding again... Water pressure is low, potholes in the roads.. price of petrol thru the roof and neighboring counties who get fuel from sa get is cheaper than us. So ja. New government needed. One with the brains to run a country properly and not into the ground.

Here is what makes me angry year after year, you hear of these massive projects mostly belonging to the foreigners, but the poor South African on the grounds are constantly told that there is no land for them; you see the land is really everything. I don't see such projects as investments because they are usually owned overseas or, in this case, held religiously; thus, South Africa is the breeding ground for domestic workers and garden boys for these properties, which, surprisingly, are black South Africans. It saddens me to hear of all these projects only to find ourselves as domestic workers in these properties. Furthermore, I wonder whether this is under the law because it sounds like segregation already...but this is South Africa; pretend like the locals are stupid and use whatever is at your disposal to further divide South Africa. The time bomb is ticking for ANC; they are deliberately delaying the land issue; in fact, South Africa is heaven for people coming from outside while its native masses are poor.

Education is important, this is a mixture of private development and government. This city has a stock exchange that opened 5 years ago and is already the second largest stock exchange in Africa, its name is A2X with a market cap of $280B, and two major black South African companies own the largest assets on that stock which amount to 40%. Stop taking every opportunity to shame and belittle black South Africans just because we have progressed more than all blacks in Africa in a short space under hardship, speak with knowledge and research, not opinions covered with envy and resentment for other successful blacks

Do worry mate, the person who made this video has never been to South Africa and likely uses Wikipedia, copies video clips here and there and pretends like he has an informed research on South Africa.

Whoever made this voice-over (American I would think) is truly terrible. He has no familiarity with French or Latin and therefore mispronounces a great many words. That isn't funny. It creates a sense of shoddiness which is the last thing that the client would want. You should have asked me to do it. I have a pleasant English voice and wouldn't have made a mess of it.
