    I am in a 65-year-old Cape Tonian; medically retired and mostly in my home. Thanx for the chance to look at our awesome sights which I can't visit anymore. I was a Tourism teacher at high school taking my learners to the many attractions that I now can only watch on YT. Enjoy your life bro. Keep in mind that most UA-camrs are NOT showing the hidden gems of SA.

      A lot of black men don't consider the true birthplace of Black America when they move to the continent, Nigeria. It's the fourth largest economy on the continent, with a per capita GDP in excess of $800 and some of the best real estate on the planet. Ekko Atlantic will soon overtake Sandton in Johannesburg, and Clifton Beach in Cape Town as the best places for rich young black men to live, within our children's lifetimes, if not within our grand children's lifetimes.
      Consider Nigeria. Consider home.

    You look like a South African. Welcome. My son got his masters in Entomology and honors in Zoology at UP. One of the best universities in the world. Education is much cheaper in South Africa. UP outrank many American Universities. In addition our medical aid insurance is very affordable and you don't have to wait months on end to see a specialist or book tests. I saw my Rheumatologist and on the same day got all my test done within 3 hours. They also have more time for you.

      @Frankiewithacam you will not regret it. It's a short drive from Cape Town and you'll be once again spoilt for choice as you pass Hermanus. Wear sneakers when you get to the reserve. There's a lot of stairs going down before you reach the caves and you'll need a steady footing inside these caves there's many.....it's breath taking. Watch the tide before you enter and try to go with a group......also, please read reviews from previous visitors to all the places you want to visit. It's never guaranteed but it helps a lot when you a bit prepared.

The people, wow, i might say even better than Cape Town. So friendly. Durban is great. I love it, a lot to do but gets very hot and humid in Summer, ie December and January. but the winters are mild, I would say there is no winter in Durban. And the beaches, wow. The best beaches in SA for sure, and you can visit them throughout the year, even in "Winter". JHB is fast paced, Big, and perfect for nightlife. Not very scenic, and Winters are very cold. Bonus is its a just a 5 hour drive to Durban.

Kinda shocked some people in the comments would advise you to check out these areas knowing how dangerous it is invested with gang related activities/retaliation and murders on a daily basis - so basically the typical gang related violence you find anywhere else in the world ( I live in the northern suburbs by the way and know these areas) its even more dangerous for foreign people, best advice is to thoroughly research areas before exploring, The Mother City however is much safer.
