      You clearly don’t watch and listen to videos before commenting, he was invited by SA tourism for some Africa travel exhibition m, him and the other west African UA-camrs like Sassy, Wide and Stella…check their IG. So he’s in SA because this trip was clearly paid for by SA tourism…SA tourism invites African content creators a lot it seems, last year think it was East Africans, this year they clearly want west African money😂 tourism is a business and I think SA does best tourism marketing and well branded in Africa

    Listen...your videos were one of the reasons why I trusted moving with my husband and our 4 kids to Nigeria, the Nigerian tourist industry needs to fix up, and sponsor you, there's so much value in what you're doing for this country. Also, after seeing the news on how some South Africans were treating Nigerians, coupled with the negative report of my Canadian-Asian-South African coworker, I literally told my Nigerian husband (who loves SA), that he would have to travel there alone because I did not want to step foot in that country as I feared for my life, but seeing you all there laughing and having fun, helps to reduce my fears. The government bodies need to understand that these social media platforms can make or break their tourism industry, keep up the good work brother!

    • @lebo5281
      @lebo5281 2 роки тому +3

      I stayed my varsity years in North Beach, Durban so I have experienced the playground firsthand; their tourism marketing was quite aggressive then, plus comrades marathon, cricket matches, international expos etc. It is always a great place to host events in winter.
      Tayo is also partially right, many international black travellers that are only waking up to South Africa in recent years just flock to Johannesburg and Cape Town and neglect many amazing areas.

      Yes South Africans are welcoming, they welcomed me, my Mum and nana from UK but I did hear locals when you speak to them on how they feel about people visiting SA and they’d say they welcome anyone but they noted how some non South Africans are in the country illegally and doing bad stuff. Nigerians(west Africans) and Zimbabweans were mentioned a lot…not in hateful way, they complaining about SA police& government not doing their jobs to act on those and deport the illegal ones immediately. Also I follow SA news and I see a lot about immigration being a hot topic (apparently in their next election)and seems like SAns are doing what UK is doing too, wanting to deport ppl in the country illegally(UK is departing then to Rwanda, some signed deal), regardless whether they are African or not. Think that’s just the law, come in legally and don’t do anything bad whilst being a visitor and leave as per your visa expiration date…

    Hi Tayo,
    Apologies that you had a bad experience initially in South Africa 🇿🇦. I am glad SA tourism changed the narrative. As a South African Just know that we love and appreciate our brothers and sisters from Nigeria.
    Next time you are in Joburg let me know and we’ll have some beers and break bread!!!

    Great video Tayo and hopefully, this is one of many more collaborations to come.
    The news of an E-Visa is just so exciting to see. I think more countries need to start rolling this out to bring in tourists who will end up becoming investors.
    Africa has a continent has various streams to grow and develop. All we need is innovative stuffs like this to be able move things forward.

    You hit the nail on the head. Is Nigeria tourism board even in existence? Any reasonable country will promote it's hospitality first before anything but what do we have in Nigeria 🇳🇬? Even ordinary state trade fairs are fading away. Dubai 2020 Expo, Chad 🇹🇩 was there, Nigerian pavillon was missing. If Nigeria won't take itself seriously of course we sell other countries. Viva Mandela! Viva South Africa!! Viva SA Tourism board on Indaba Africa!!! Viva @Tayo Aina Films.

    Tayo I'm very sorry about your initial experiences with our country. I'm glad you kept an open mind despite previously being harassed by the police and having your Visa application turned down.
    Our country is grappling with a lot of grave challenges and the citizens have often been left to bear the brunt of the government's inefficacies, and as you would expect, this has created a lot of animosity and scapegoating. However, at our true core, South Africans are loving, kind, and welcoming people who see the humanity in others, especially our fellow brothers and sisters from the continent and the diaspora.
    I hope this new experience opens your eyes to the beauty of our country and its people, and that you have many, many more untainted experiences like this in the future.

    Tayo didn’t you know that Durban is one of the most visited cities in South Africa and Africa?….along with Cape Town always gets voted as must-visit places in Africa. My Mum& gran spent 3 months travelling Durban and staying short term there few years back. Rest of their full year staying short term in SA from UK was spent living and travelling Cape Town,Johannesburg, Mpimlanga(sp) & East London. Durban is stunning, has warm beaches. I never not visit Cape Town when I’m in SA because of stunning all-surrounding mountain views and I love Durban for rolling hills and watch beaches, always visit there too. Can’t wait to get back…stunning country of South Africa.
    Well South Africa is tightening their immigration policies so I think their minister of home office(not sure what they call it) is strong voices about tightening border security, so Nigerians in general have a bad reputation even here in UK with immigration, so this isn’t an SA/Nigeria issue but a general Nigeria bad reputation in many countries around the world. A few bad apples are giving Nigerian passport a bad rep…Nigerian government needs to fix it.
    E-visa is honestly not anything better, as still a visa but it better for time management for the traveller/applicant. E-visa is getting to rolled out by many governments now especially since COVID made it difficult to open up these government offices and trying to discourage queues…is just the way all organised tourism boards& various government are going now(and SA tourism is efficient & professional), same rigorous process of obtaining a visa in person has now been made digital…still can deny you entry via email. Think it’s more efficient though, cuts out queues. Enjoy SA, smart move on SA tourism inviting you and the west African travel content creators, means they want serious travellers from west Africa to come spend their money there…good strategy. I wonder why west Africa doesn’t seriously do tourism marketing like Kenya, SA, Morocco and Egypt…it’s a huge revenue driver for well travelled countries even in Europe eg Spain& France and I think SA gets this right. Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Ivory coast etc are countries that have natural beauty so worth strategising beyond the year of return audience and message as that’s very limited audience and there are more monied and bigger spending western audiences and in Japan and even China…if you give them an enticing well packaged experience. West Africa could offer a lot but they need to take tourism seriously

    My last trip to SA was in November 2021.
    I had planned this trip as a gift to my mum, who nurtured the love for SA in me since i was a child.
    They refused her at OR Tambo because our embassy forgot to (hand)sign her visa, though they could see in the system that the visa is valid.. there is a lady at the custom office who even went to the extend of saying "SA doesnt want you, you must go back to your country".
    My mum was deported back.
    This was the most heartbreaking experience ive had in 12 years that ive been going in and out of SA.
    They need to be careful about chosing those working at the customs too..
    Mehn i love SA with all my heart, but sometimes...
    Hopefully i will get a chance to make my mum experience this place. Im not giving up..😢❤️
