    ;-) When we had people come out from Australia to visit the lady was teasing us on the pronunciation of the 'G' in Gauteng. She figured it out - Pretend you have a sweet stuck in your throat and you are choking on it and trying to get it out! ;-) Anyway, you could also just use the G sound like in "ground".

    Thanks for the shout out Rickey! Don’t fully close the gate on the lions though 😂😂😂. It was a spiritual experience for me. Also, connecting with someone local is CRUCIAL! The welcoming spirit of South Africans is one of the main reasons I’m moving … come on July 1!!!!!

    Mr. Jones you are on point that a person has got his own choice Food culture and living right is truly a choice. I as a South African also do not follow all thesemany of the things that many people follow. The most thing I follow or do as I was taught is 💕 respect and love with people in harmony. Finally as a Christian is because doing good is fearing God more than anything. Thank you so much.May you stay blessed with your family. God sent you for a purpose. Stay as you are don't follow all the trend .I pray too for your protection and your family Thanks .

    Everyone in the diaspora must make a trip to Africa at least once in their lifetime. As a descendant of Africa it will totally change yours perspective how the world works. Also Africa is your birth right. Very much like how Chinese Americans form a bond with China and how Indian Americans form a bond with India,also African Americans should do the same too with Africa.

    Hey there Ricky looks like you are well and doing good! I agree with you about doing things at your pace and meeting with other expiates ! Yes we do need some resemblance of the USA 🇺🇸 where we have spent most of our lives. I really enjoyed our get togethers I really had a lot of fun even though I’ve only just met most of you via you tube previously. I felt like I knew you all lol 😂 yes knowing people in South Africa is a plus. South Africa 🇿🇦 is a vibe in the USA 🇺🇸 it’s the African Americans motherland believe it!!!1

    Dont leave your brain on the plane for sure. This is not America. And if you are a complainer, lets consider a shift in that prior to arriving. Btw, I use Uber when Im there. I have three specific and particular Uber drivers that I whatsap. We still use the app so it works out nicely.

    Hey fam, personally as a South African women I do not stop/make way for any unmarked vehicle except JMPD, SAPS and ER and only if I feel its safe to do so just for safety purposes. However, I make way for the unmarked blue lights(mostly black SUV's) as they would never stop you that's private security for highly profiled people i.e government officials.
    As for the services/products offered outside the store DO NOT ACCEPT.

      I don’t watch the news however I have come across all that’s happening. My prayers are for all people hoping for peace, love and understanding to prevail.
      I personally don’t know enough to speak on the issue however as a human I can participate by praying for what we should all be able to enjoy!
