      Hey, Joe. I've seen some commentary that QE kicking in, in China, will cause inflation in the US. That doesn't seem right, but, maybe I am missing something? Might be worth some discussion?

    Wow, it is a huge privilege to welcome you to the Cape of Good Hope Joe! The Mother City, Cape Town, Kaapstad, Slaapstad, call her what you want, to us locals there are none more beautiful. I have been following your channel for some time now and I find it well researched, on point and very informative. Thank you for all the hard work. Enjoy your visit and be safe Mr Blogs.

    Correction Joe, 19:49; it’s not the most southern point of Africa. That’s much further away from CT, it’s called Cape Agulhas. Also well worth the drive and visit through stunning countryside.

They are little fury brown animals that look like a cross between dog and a beaver. They are very brave and will run up to you and steal food right off your plate! Some of the bigger ones will actually try to take your whole plate!

If you want 5 start hotels, then Sun City is the place to stay, otherwise I would recommend the Kingdom Resort.

      ​@@Mittarimato-o7w well as of our most recent elections..the ANC got 39.9% of the vote. Most ANC supporters frankly are not voting because of Geopolitical reasons.
      Like the other comment said.. please do not confuse South Africa with That disastrous embarrassment of an organization.

    I read some stats that said South Africa has the highest murder rate on the planet by far. I can't imagine why anybody would go there to travel.

      You’d come because you’d have a fantastic time, no matter which of our 9 provinces you’d visit. Unfortunately there are very densely populated areas by far less privileged parts of our society where there’s high levels of gangsterism. High levels of drug abuse and fights over turf, are I’d think the high levels of murder take place. We’ve a lot of foreigners living here loving the lifestyle and preferring it to their home countries. Come and give it a try for yourself🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
