    You have been in SA for some time now, I believe you did come across more Cameroon citizens in SA than South Africans in Cameroon, you don't have to move to SA to trade with South African but produce finished products in Cameroon and sell those products to SA, there is nothing wrong with 🇨🇲 citizen paying tax in Cameroon and using all skills and knowledge they have to build 🇨🇲 because no one will do that for them, South African do not hate foreigners however too much of anything is bad, what about the 🇨🇲 loving each other and stop fighting among themselves (English vs French ) , and build their country , SA is still has long way to go and you can not expect SA to host all poor people from this continent

    You are a very smart lady I can tell. The way you switch to Zulu, sotho and tswana. By the way the story about the man you greeted in Limpopo he probably said "Thobela le kae" that's their greetings, in tswana it's "Dumela". Alot of South Africans are Anti foreign languages because of our history we come from an oppressive apartheid system where we were forced to learn a white man's language and we grew pride of our culture and we are therefore preserving it💪

    What a bubbly relatable young lady. Thank you for being you, you are such a vibe.
    Now on the serious stuff. I know you are Cameroonian. The first time I heard about a country called Cameroon was during the 1990 World Cup. What a team you guys had:
    Rodger Miller
    Omam Biyik
    Makanaky
    Nkono
    Jean Claude Pagal etc...
    I think the entire South Africa supported Cameroon during that year.
    Listen South Africa aspires to be a first class Country. We know we are not there yet but that's our collective aspiration. So when people come down here with their third world mentality we simply don't take kindly to that because it means we don't share the same aspirations.
    If you come to South Africa through the gate, you will not have a problem. However if you are going to start behaving like your Nigerian cousins we will have to cut you down to size.
    End of...

    I think the issue of foreigners in south africa is missed interpreted. South Africans are against illegal foreigners and those who come for wrong reasons to commit criminal activities like Bushiri,Komotoso,Gang Rape in krugerstoop, Zama Zamas, Human traffic the list is endless and one could argue that all of those activities can not be done alone by a foreigner yes its is true the will be a South African involved but you have a 50% chance to catch that South African because is on the system/ population register. So back to you statement the USA and other countries it is very difficult to enter and reside if you don't have nothing to offer but South African has friendly immigration policies in the world so now we are suffering from those policies as you mentioned crime rate keeps on rising. International criminals hides in SA and now International travel visas to urope are becoming strict if you comming from SA bare in mind there were places like UK is you are a SAns you did not require a visa but now it strict then ever. So South Africans suffers at the end. I love what you stated in one of about your experience in SA. And we must encourage other foreigners to get their paper in order before they come or even if they are here illegal they are encourage to go to department of home affairs and get q refugees status documents.

    I repeat myself… do not insist that we do not like English we have our native languages as South Africans and English is spoken in cooperate environments so really it is not necessary and yes South Africans do not travel like that because we have almost everything we need in our country and in Cameroon people have to travel because it’s that hard and they have to leave cameroon to go hassle for a better life as they are really left with no choice and when South Africans leave they always go back home. I’m saying this as a woman married to a Cameroonian for 15 years.

    You are such a ball of energy and have a great personality. The issue that we have with immigration is the fact that there's simply way too many of them in our country and SA does not have the capacity to cater for the whole continent. Another thing is the stuff the majority of immigrants get up to i.e those posters you see everywhere about anything and everything, the drugs, the illegal schools all over Johannesburg, hijacking buildings, human trafficking, illegal mining, trading on side walks which makes it difficult for us to keep our cities clean...I mean I can go on and on, kuningi and siy'1. It's a lot.

      You cannot demonise a social grouping based on inflated evidence designed to placate and pacify the masses. These propagated unfounded tropes are designed to distract from substantive issues such as government procurement planning. Underfunded criminal justice system. 7.6% inflation rate. 33% unemployment rate.
      Once people have been legally granted leave to remain in a nation state, said people should be afforded their Constitutional Rights. As per Freedom Charter ‘South Africa belongs to all those who live in it’.
      Politically and economically speaking. All of these social ills you mention could be rectified if the SA Government were ‘perceived’ to be prioritising these matters before SA African nation states partners are imposed to a negotiating table where the only proposition is ‘drastically move on your domestic position regarding our nationals or certain bilateral clauses will be triggered’.
      This is a very delicate issue. In terms of life, limb, property. The rest of Africa was there to house and train our leaders and their units. Let’s return the favour.

Why is she comparing a developing country to developed country?

    Point of Correction: SA started to experience influx of foreigners in mid 1800s when there was discovery of Gold, immigration policy was best managed, as immigrants came far as Lesotho, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique n Malawi. Comrade Clement Cadalia a Malawian descent d fisrt to establish Workers Union ( ICU ) in 1918.
    Just a typical foreigner, I'm not sure what make u fail to understand that SA a sovereign state with laws n d constitution that must be respected by every human being who live in it.
    We do go to other countries, but not to sell drugs n destroy d future of d world.
    In the issue of TAXATION, this policy began to exist in SA as far as back as 1654, just two years after d arrival of Jan van Riebeek, n this is d same tax built SA, so I'm not sure what kind of taxi is contributed by d Camerons.
    Tomorrow u will be claiming SA was inferior n uncivilized before d arrival of Camerons n Nigerians

I don’t think anyone who travelled outside can dispute the fact that South Africa is the most developed country in Africa. Yes tomorrow the scenario may change to another country being the best in Africa but that will not wipe away the current history.

    To survive in South African .just learn Zulu Sesotho,and english.ull be able to communicate with the fast majority of the population..
    Zulu is an nguni language.nguni ppl make up around 45 percent of South Africa s population.this group has Xhosa, ndebele and Swati ,so ppl from this group will be able to understand some Zulu .since their exposed to it so much ..
    There r three provinces were nguni languages r spoken by the majority of the population,these r Zulu natal, eastern cape and mpumalanga.nguni languages r also spoke by 30 percent of the population in Gauteng and western cape .
    Sesotho is part of the Sotho langu group.the group has sepedi , setswana and sesotho.these languages r very similar and me being a sepedi speaker I hardly struggle to understand Sesotho and setswana speakers.this group makes up 30 percent of the whole population.there r 3 provinces with a Sotho speaking majority.these r free state, North West province,and Limpopo.
    They make up 30 percent of the population of northern cape and r the largest group in Gauteng at 35 percent ( barely above the nguni group)
    Gauteng has all languages ,but Johannesburg is mainly Zulu .but Pretoria is mainly sepitori ( a type of mixed language ,that has sepedi, Sesotho and setswana) it's pretty simple for other Sotho speakers from other provinces to understand.
    English is english.i use it to communicate with the whites,coloured and Indians..
    Personal I generally get irritated Wen foreign Africans in South Africa ,don't learn the native languages.its crazy considering that if they went to Europe countries,they would learn their languages but the same respect is not show to South African s.if you want to speak English only why r you in South Africa,go to England

    Loving your videos which are so interesting! I think it’s worth noting that educated and business owning South Africans are leaving South Africa in their tens of thousands. There are hundreds of thousands of South Africans who have left the country permanently. They are not the ones who express xenophobic sentiments. The South Africans who tell other Africans to “go back” to their countries are the ones without the education or means to leave South Africa and usually tend to be the same people who have previously or still do vote for the failed and corrupt ANC government and don’t realise how they are killing the country they love, and their own futures, by keeping the ANC in power. South Africa’s only hope is if a the people vote for a new centrist coalition that excludes the criminal leftist ANC and EFF. Please pray for enlightenment of the South African people so that this wonderful country can be saved from self destruction.
