What Americans call a bodega we call a cafe. You will also hear us talking about robots and garages. Robots are traffic lights and a garage is a petrol station. And just like any place where there are many different cultures you will find good and bad. If you come from the USA and have money you will live a life of luxury compared to what you will get for the same dollar amount in the USA. The biggest problem we have is useless politicians. You will be welcomed with open arms by the majority as we all grew up with positive views of African Americans thanks to all the cultural exports from USA. Our food quality is better in most respects because of the variety and the fact that we do not have huge corrupt conglomerates who care more about profits than health. You might miss some of the choices you have when it comes to snacks and fast food brands. You will only find Dr Pepper and the different flavoured Coke options as imports. SO PLEASE COME AND VISIT. SOUTH AFRICA IN SUMMER SHOULD BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST.
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME. Thank you for visiting to South Africa. Im sure you'll enjoy your stay in the country. Sending well wishes & love to you & family 🫶🏾.
I want to move to South Africa. I want to seek opportunities in music, live with the majority African Diasporan’s like myself. Make new friends experience a new culture, live on the continent where my descendants come from.
Do not be discouraged to come to south africa🇿🇦 by people who pretend to be south african online , especially Nigerians many of fake account Sabotage south africas 🇿🇦 reputation online by Nigerians.
FYI most cab drivers are not South Africans. So, the info is not exactly accurate. Pls do some more research. As for women being expected to be housewives? That's not true at all. A lot of women are bread winners and professionals as well. Meanwhile enjoy your stay with us as a valued guest. 11:44
These foreign cab drivers don't know the real life and cultural dynamics of SA. Most of them know SA from the history books or life in the flats in the city, not villages and townships. You can feel a little touch of jealousy in their stories
Oooh! Thanks for that insight on women in the culture. Also, he wasnt a cab/uber driver. He is a Zulu from the area. I think everyone has a different perspective of their home and even places they may visit. What would you like to add to the conversation?
It is called UBUNTU. It describes a set of closely related Bantu African-origin value systems that emphasize the interconnectedness of individuals with their surrounding societal and physical worlds. "Ubuntu" is sometimes translated as "I am because we are" (also "I am because you are").
Great video thanks for sharing! Also, I enjoy watching how one of you would complete the other’s statement. As always, continued success and blessings on your journey!!!
He didnt take us to any homeboys. He showed us where we shouldnt go, as we asked. Its disappointing to see Africans speak about each other in such ways.
That nan who was driving you around wasn't a South african - by his accent he sounded like a Zimbabwean. Thus he doesn't know much of our South african way of life
@@sphiwemahomaneI noticed how he failed to explain that Joburg CBC has got some areas which were revived specifically both for tourism, business and residential purposes. These are quite safe, especially Maboneng which I highly recommend for all tourists who would like to have a taste of our urban culture. This Zimbabwean Uber driver, like many other illegal👽💀 pretend to know about this country and they do not, are always biased against SAns and misrepresents our country everytime. They are after money that's all.
Certainly true Sphiwe. I used to work for American embassy in South Africa and would always recommend for Americans on secondment to SA to insist on a tour guide who is a South African. We have our so called brothers who insist on doing work which in all sense and naturalist is daily lives experience of a South African. Most of our so called brothers lie or just don’t know much about colonial past. The best they do is repeat the name Nelson Mandela which excites most foreigners😂😂😂
Welcome home, we are happy to have you in SA❤❤. I saw your videos where you compared systems in TZ vs USA. May you please do the same when you have settled a bit here in SA if you gonna be here for a while.
Thank you for your warm welcome. I do my best to share my authentic thoughts and feelings. I will keep your comment in mind. Thank you for watching and adding to the conversation!

@EmpressKeno Hai Bo! Zulu? Are you sure? Cause I'm South African I speak almost 4 languages including Zulu ... I studied Zulu. He I definitely NOT South African. Be very wise about the info that you get and who you get it from. Don't see a black face and assume things. Be careful. The South Africa I know is not what he told you I'm sure most South African men will be surprised to hear some of the things your driver said. Enjoy your stay🇿🇦. Next they will say South Africans are "xenophobic " 🤣🤣🤣
@EmpressKeno he must sto lying and be honest, we see a lot of our non south african natives posing as natives and it gives a very poor distorted almost stereotypical perspective of SA and not the genuine lived experience from an actual South African.
Welcome, Ey dat driver is not make sure. CBD can be explored with a person who knows where not to go, CBD is where the people are. Get a proper guide and enjoy ur stay❤
I am really disappointed with the manner we give out negative information about our country and it's deeply rooted not sure where this comes from people from other countries don't bad mouth their countries like this.
@BuhlebuyezaNdebele that really hurts hey... Why speak bad about the land God bless us with, instead of speaking life and fruitfulness... We forget or take for granted the power of the tongue.
@BuhlebuyezaNdebele it's not speaking badly, Ive stayed in joburg for 12 years, those places are mainly occupied by foreigners and natives who are new to City living, eventually the natives will assimilate and move away from there...that very very old Joburg, life is outside of the CBD/Central Joburg. No shade, its actually a sign of progress that where Jhb started but Sandton is now the hub, and then the North is rapidly becoming the Suburbia, Southern, West and Eastern parts are the parts one would need to visit to get an authentic Jhb experience..basically everywhere but the central Jhb.
Your driver was pretty good . . . very good with the information - at least there was balance of the good/bad/ugly part of Jozi. Jo'burg is a mixed bag of experiences.
Big up to the taxi driver he tried his best but some of his information is not 100% correct or it's heavily influenced by social media and i get it because he is not SOUTH AFRICAN🇿🇦 most of his information is a sprinkle of life experience and stories he heard or read from somewhere Try the red bus city tour they will show you the good and bad of JOZI and give you true facts about the city
haha i like your driver you had . he tells it like it is and his experience. and its true what he says the areas arent like it used to be back in the day . its more run down and filthy . its quite sad the state of some areas .
FYI, just like in the states, most cab drivers are foreigners - and there are Zulu people in Zimbabwe as well, if he says his Zulu, and most illegal foreigners will fake being locals for obvious and hide under Zulu. His accent is not South African and his information is very non South African he is not proud of this land you can hear also in his narrative. Please do research with locals - this by the way happens a lot with travel vloggers not just you we are not putting you down we just hate our country being misrepresented. Do enjoy your stay in our country and a warm welcome to you and your family ❤
@@EmpressKeno It is not safe and the the people who live in the CBD are mostly illegal immigrants .They have made a mess of our once beautiful city .Its a mess .South Africans moved away from that slum .Of course we go there if we need to buy some stuff and we exercise caution .Hide our personal belongings and be alert .There are law enforcers all over but it is still not advisable to go there on your own if you are new .
Next time get a South African to show you around and interpret the culture for you, the tour guide you had is a Zimbambean who clearly knows nothing about our country.
That uber driver who was driving you knows nothing about South Africa. He must stop talking from both of his mouth and start telling you guys the truth. Always people from Zimbabwe talks nonsense about us. They must refrain from bersmirching and villifying us.
Avoid Johannesburg CBD, that's old Johannesburg section. Most black Americans stay around Midrand n centurion or North of Johannesburg suburbs.. Rosebank and Sandton r great places in Johannesburg also. The bad side is that there r places u should not go to because it is not safe... You can try other Cities as well around South Africa
The CBD is safe . South Africa opened its borders 30 years ago, after isolation. So the CBD is full of immigrants. The majority of citizens don't know how to react to this . Just like New York or LA.
He painting Joburg like a crime infested area. Yes there's crime but I don't think on the same level like some Western cities overseas. The brother is still mentally colonized.
I wish you could get information about South Africa from a South African, lots of the information that your uber driver was sharing was false plus he doesnt sound like he is not a South African. Anyway I hope you enjoy your stay.
90% of the people in Joburg CBD you saw are illegal immigrants, your driver might not even be South African...Most of the rot in downtown Jozi is caused by illegal immigrants and govt corruption...But somehow, we still manage to be the richest city in Africa.....for now
@@EmpressKeno, maybe, but Joburg used to be SA's pride and joy, the place to be. Now its Cape Town's time to shine, whether Joburg will retain its original glamour will remain to be seen. It's just sad what politicians have done to this once-great city. U came at its worst.Hope u enjoy your stay in SA though, u seem like a cool girl
Why you allow Zimbabwean to be your tour guider now he is talking about looting and mugging 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦he doesn't even know about our relationship culture thats why he dodged the topic 😂😂😂😂at last he is talking about Zimbabwean church this guy is history 😂😂😂
@EmpressKeno when you travel meet the original people of that place see how they live in soweto taste their barbecue go to spin and drift go to clubs go to central business districts where people are entertaining each other even to the games
People are calling for SA'n Uber /Bolt drivers, question is are they there? Always when I watch these videos it's always these foreign guys which could mean there are few SA'n drivers who might be available as tour guides or our people are less interested in this business.
He showed us many nice places and things about South Africa, including where we should avoid. He is also a local Zulu. I dont know why you are so angry at him, he has given us a great impression of South African hospitality.
Shame about your driver. Very little knowledge of SA. Next time, get registered tour guides - try the Brand SA website or SA Tourism. Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country.🙏🏾
When it comes to nfrastructure, systems, nature, entertainment and the people, South Africa is arguably the best place to be, BUT... We are only 30yrs out of apartheid, and it's legacy still lingers, so be prepared for that. Also be careful of vultures, since every country has them, and they might try to take advantage of you being from another country and presumably "naive", but generally South Africans love you and will more likely give freely of themselves than harm or take advantage of you in any way. Enjoy your stay, and don't leave 😅 South Africa hosts the largest population of Indians outside of India, and they are still coming neh? I would personally like SA to also have the biggest population of African Americans outside of America, because a LOT of people have been coming here, and for the first time I'm excited about a particular demographic coming to join us.
I think south Africa is much batter than USA how many Americans people are here is south Africa than south African are in USA than tells you the answer
The comments from south africans about their fellow african is eye opening to say the least. Shame they haven't got the same anger towards the people that stole their land and left them in poverty
What Americans call a bodega we call a cafe.
You will also hear us talking about robots and garages.
Robots are traffic lights and a garage is a petrol station.
And just like any place where there are many different cultures you will find good and bad.
If you come from the USA and have money you will live a life of luxury compared to what you will get for the same dollar amount in the USA.
The biggest problem we have is useless politicians.
You will be welcomed with open arms by the majority as we all grew up with positive views of African Americans thanks to all the cultural exports from USA.
Our food quality is better in most respects because of the variety and the fact that we do not have huge corrupt conglomerates who care more about profits than health.
You might miss some of the choices you have when it comes to snacks and fast food brands.
You will only find Dr Pepper and the different flavoured Coke options as imports.
SO PLEASE COME AND VISIT.

It's foreigners who ran it down. They flocked into our cities and turned them into slums.

He painting Joburg like a crime infested area. Yes there's crime but I don't think on the same level like some Western cities overseas. The brother is still mentally colonized.
Guys like More Mansa, Jackson Cooper and Tatyanna etc have been to that so called "no go area" by the driver. They didn't experience any bad thing.
How 😂😂😂😂 , but the driver is not south african,
I haven’t met many in the hospitality/tourism industry..
I wish you could get information about South Africa from a South African, lots of the information that your uber driver was sharing was false plus he doesnt sound like he is not a South African. Anyway I hope you enjoy your stay.
Thanks! You are welcome to share about South Africa 🇿🇦
90% of the people in Joburg CBD you saw are illegal immigrants, your driver might not even be South African...Most of the rot in downtown Jozi is caused by illegal immigrants and govt corruption...But somehow, we still manage to be the richest city in Africa.....for now
@spydrmedia how do you know they are illegal? Where is your evidence
@@mabosigomolamu9850 U clearly never taken a walk in Joburg central or any city center in South Africa
Sounds like rich city activity tbh.
@@EmpressKeno, maybe, but Joburg used to be SA's pride and joy, the place to be. Now its Cape Town's time to shine, whether Joburg will retain its original glamour will remain to be seen. It's just sad what politicians have done to this once-great city. U came at its worst.Hope u enjoy your stay in SA though, u seem like a cool girl
@@spydrmedia thanks
I’m Zulu and that guy Is not Zulu and not even South African
Okay
Why you allow Zimbabwean to be your tour guider now he is talking about looting and mugging 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦he doesn't even know about our relationship culture thats why he dodged the topic 😂😂😂😂at last he is talking about Zimbabwean church this guy is history 😂😂😂
He was answering my questions to the best of his ability.
Want to add anything positive we should know?
@EmpressKeno you have to understand South Africa is under construction we don't want anyone to ruin it
Ok, what do you want to add for us that is positive from your perspective?
@EmpressKeno when you travel meet the original people of that place see how they live in soweto taste their barbecue go to spin and drift go to clubs go to central business districts where people are entertaining each other even to the games
I dont do clubs and things like that, but I will be sure to do my best to engage with local SAns
It's only in SA where foreigners tell a South African story. Jeez this is annoying. Our country is a joke.
What would you like to add for me and the audience ?
It always migrants drivers misinforming tourists about SA 🤦♂️🤦♂️.
Would you like to add something you’d like me to know?
Can u please get tour guide from a South Africans not Zimbabwean
I will ask where they are from next time
People are calling for SA'n Uber /Bolt drivers, question is are they there? Always when I watch these videos it's always these foreign guys which could mean there are few SA'n drivers who might be available as tour guides or our people are less interested in this business.
Stupid Driver whose aim is to discredit South Africa. These Foreign Drivers always depict a gloomy picture about our beautiful Country.
He showed us many nice places and things about South Africa, including where we should avoid. He is also a local Zulu. I dont know why you are so angry at him, he has given us a great impression of South African hospitality.
No my sister his not zulu this one you should try to get the real south African to tell you more about the culture much love my family ❤❤❤
Thanks for the welcome.
Shame about your driver. Very little knowledge of SA. Next time, get registered tour guides - try the Brand SA website or SA Tourism. Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country.🙏🏾
Thanks for the resources!

@@EmpressKeno why not if you can get the visa to do that
@ I am not following you ?
The Driver is noy a South African and he is all negative
He had a lot of positive things to say, too.
When it comes to nfrastructure, systems, nature, entertainment and the people, South Africa is arguably the best place to be, BUT...
We are only 30yrs out of apartheid, and it's legacy still lingers, so be prepared for that.
Also be careful of vultures, since every country has them, and they might try to take advantage of you being from another country and presumably "naive", but generally South Africans love you and will more likely give freely of themselves than harm or take advantage of you in any way.
Enjoy your stay, and don't leave 😅
South Africa hosts the largest population of Indians outside of India, and they are still coming neh? I would personally like SA to also have the biggest population of African Americans outside of America, because a LOT of people have been coming here, and for the first time I'm excited about a particular demographic coming to join us.
Thank you for your insightful comment. The elder South African lady we spoke to in the market told us “We need more of you here.” She was very sweet.
I think south Africa is much batter than USA how many Americans people are here is south Africa than south African are in USA than tells you the answer
I think different places have different things to offer. Thanks for watching
Just visit Cape town and Durban you will see the real south Africa@@EmpressKeno
No,it not my brother. There are more SAans in the US than Americans in SA. There are certain things that SA does better than US and vice versa.
Thanks for adding that
Sbu homie that is not true America is a first world country, I don't know where you this but that's not a South African view point
The comments from south africans about their fellow african is eye opening to say the least. Shame they haven't got the same anger towards the people that stole their land and left them in poverty
I didnt expect it
So you want South Africans to allow Misinformation to spread out to the world in order accommodate Africans, will you accept that in your country?
No one said any of that.
You must be kidding wena kwerekwere
He is a foreigner and lying to them about south african 😂😂😂😂😂
Apparently its common due to the xenophobia
Geez who knew this is how little Zimbabwean tour guides know about South Africa
share something unique with us!
