how to live in south Africa
how to survive south Africa
living in south Africa
nigerian in south Africa
South Africans are largely a nice and accommodating people; many foreigners have interpreted this as a weakness. When South Africans react and show their muscle, people cry xenophobia. Respect and humility will open many doors anywhere.
I'm in Ireland now so need media.tenor.com/xjIYN3WkB4wAAAAM/smile-person-akirambow.gif
Killing innocent people isn't "showing muscles"
No one killed innocent people here that's false News...What is true is South Africans wanting foreigners who are here illegally to go back... Then everyone is saying we are Xenophobic for that
@@Bryan-eq6nt yeah right, when we jail over 10k innocent illegal foreigners a year who are currently fed by our tax monies, go ahead and google how many foreigners are arrested yearly and come back with your dumb analysis
I wonder why these ppl don't wanna go back to their respectful countries
Thank you for your good content. Much appreciated. Let me add three more issues that will get you in trouble in South Africa: 1) Don't come to South Africa to do crime. South Africans are fed-up with the high crime rates in this country and they get more angry and retaliate when foreigners come to SA for criminal activities. 2) Don't come to SA illegally. Make sure as a foreigner that you have the correct documentation and that you followed the correct procedures to obtain your documents. 3) South Africa is constitutional democracy with the most progressive constitution in the world. It's important to respect the laws of the country and abide by it and you will be loved in this country.
4) Definitely refrain from calling locals "lazy"...It won't go down well. It is also disrespectful to insult people while you are a guest in their country
Detailed and true. Thanks for engaging 🙏
If you move to SA it's your job to fit in not for SA to fit in you period.
That is true everywhere actually...but I think it's easy to fit in in South Africa. One just need to be open minded and mingle with the locals.
You are correct, imagine expecting South Africans to ajust to over 100 foreign cultures in their own country. If that expectation is not cultural schizophrenia I don't know what to call it.
Good video. Loving dramatic situations, depends on the type of people you interact with. There are levels in South Africa, just like in any other country. Choose wisely where you step.
This is what we should promote as Africans, and I think Africa can be a better place for everyone..
If you disrespect us, you take the high way
Overall, obey the laws of the land.
Very educative and informative content.
Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Thankssss 🤗🤗
Hair and makeup on fleek 🙌🙌🙌
Aww thanks 🤗❤️
I actually really love your perspective and your delivery on this matter. I have watched a ton of these videos, and I like the angle you came at it from. It’s very different. PS you’re very beautiful. I hope you enjoy South Africa. One Africa, one ❤️
Hi sweetheart! Thank you so much for your kind words, God bless you. I think you're super beautiful and eloquent too. Cheers! 🤗
I agree . people must not just follow people because they will be lost. People must learn to stand on whats right.
You are beutiful my sister and everything you say are all100%true and correct👍👍
This is so kind of you! Thanks 🙏💐
Nice content. I think that’s why most foreigners find it hard to blend with SA. In SA, there are protocols for approval of everything, you can’t just take short cuts. I think that’s why many foreigners think we are xenophobic, it’s not xenophobic, it’s our immigration laws and legal system and requirements to keep track in an orderly manner. I can see in Nigeria or most African countries ppl are used to cutting corners.
I think you should also add if people have no skills or have low level skills please stay in your country coz our unemployment rate is high as it is already. So when people come here with no family support system to fall back on and they can't find jobs they resort to crime and I will tell you for free we are tired and have no more patience for immigrants who come to commit crime in our country coz we realised our children will have no home to enjoy at this rate.
One thing we pride ourselves in as South Africans we will tell you the truth whether you like it or not so please don't be afraid to tell people that when they come here they must stop "shining their eyes" and abide by the laws.
People generally mind their business in this country maybe because you were a student so young people are still open to forming new relationships but also we are a very friendly nation. If we are standing next to each other in a queue we start talking to each other, maybe someone might end up asking you your name but only because they want to address you properly as the conversation progresses but it doesn't mean they want to know your business, it's trying to while away time, that's why you will find a long queue and people not complaining coz they talk to each other.
Oyinkan you are one of us now 🇿🇦❤️
Hehehehe no wahala 👍
Excellent advice.
🙏👍
You are welcome in South Africa my African sister. We are all Africans.
Thanks fam 🤗
There is no Xenophobia in South Africa, where have you ever heard of a South African hating a legal foreign national that follows the law? I've never heard of such
But even the legal foreign national's number should be limited now...this people should give us space and go fix their own countries and stop fighting for staying in SA mxm
Please talk about your countrymen selling drugs here....
Unfortunately my channel's target audience is not drug dealers.
This is the problem with Nigerians, the good ones never call out the bad apples so this is why we are not fond of you guys as well as Zim. If someone is engaging in illegal activity condemn them instead of turning a blind eye.
how will she know about them
South Africans mind their business and a lot of Nigerian UA-camrs say this a lot.. if anything they always say in Nigeria it’s where people don’t mind their business 😂
Enjoy SA to the fullest love you
🤗❤️
Thank you !!
Thank you 😊
I strongly agree with you, If you come in South Africa and don't know what you want or you have lost your moral campus, this country will destroy you. It is beautiful and nice. I have seen many married foreign men who began chasing girls when they got here and abandoned their families. So always remember what you came to do in South Africa, If you came for business, you are welcome to run your business and you will flourish like other foreigners. If you become a problem, we will not welcome you. Do not let South Africa change your personality or lifestyle, the good thing about South Africa is that it is diverse, you will meet people who are like you and others who are the total opposite of you. Do not try to change people or teach them your morals.
80% of South Africans are indigenous to this land and, though the African cultures may differ here and there , they're all much related. Colonialism tried to divide us just like elsewhere in Africa, but they failed.
Hhayi mntwana uyashisa 🤗
👏👏👏👏
You're so pretty🤩
Aww thanks Palesa. I think you're gorgeous too! 🤗
Respect people in SA, you can get knocked out in town or in aisle 3 at Pick and Pay
Not pick n pay 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@oyinkanhoney 🤣🤣🤣
Corruption = jail in south africa
I would love to have a Nigerian woman to be ma wife, I just love Nigerian woman.
Love from S.A
God will provide 😅🤗
you gonna make ugly babies
Well I don't think Nigerian women date South African men...
You behave like somizi, too forward for nothing, I doubt you are a South African, maybe your father is kwerekwere, no real South African love drug dealers of Nigeria with loudness like steam engines
I've never met anyone at all and I mean literally anyone from across Southern Africa who has went to university or ever moved to Nigeria TO LIVE. I had south African, tswana, Zambian, Zambian and Namibian friends in London and we discussed this
I Know southern Africans I knee in London who have gone to Nigeria for work assignments but I've never known anyone who went there to live. Why is that 🤔🤔
But Nigerians are all over southern Africa. I'm just asking
😂😅🤣
How do I process an admission into postgraduate study in South Africa, I’m from Nigeria
In South Africa if you embrace the locals, add value to their lives and never do any crime they will love you as their own. Any foreign people that consistently brake any of these principles will suffer in South Africa. We also observe the same principles when we relocate and find ourselves amongst different tribes, if you don't act right you will suffer the wrath even if it's your country.
In order to embrace the locals you can learn one of the African languages and learn their mannerisms.
Adding value: Have a skill that we need, pay your taxes, keep the money in the country.
If you run a store please employ South Africans if you employ only your countrymen you will have trouble. Export and not just Import as imports reduce the GDP of the country.
And never ever look down on the locals, they detest that to the fullest. This is where some of the African brothers get it wrong. If you hear a South African (white or black) saying South African are lazy please don't repeat that, because it will sound different as a non South African. I myself have heard a couple of our African foreign brothers in the country make this mistake and I can assure you it felt different. (This stresses your point about being non judgmental)
Never do any crime : Unfortunately if your countrymen are always coming up in the news as committing crimes, this will also be associated with you until you prove yourself different as an individual.
However what causes resentment among some of the locals in the country is the influx of poor undocumented foreigners as they compete for employment opportunities with poor South Africans. Since they are desperate when they enter the country and will work for any salary, they get manipulated by unscrupulous employers as they know that the undocumented will never report them to the authorities.
This results in massive employment of the undocumented and very little opportunities for poor South Africans who happen to be black as well. I have seen complete areas employ only foreigners especially in Joburg. This creates massive resentment among poor South African as the poor foreigners become the face of the missed opportunities.
Therefore, this Xenophobic problem is due to failure or non existence of government policies to ensure that this doesn't happen. Otherwise South Africans are completely welcoming of any foreign people that respects us whether black or white, African or not.
@Kwaziphungula - You are spot on with all the points you covered. If I was a foreign person I would take down all these points and use them as a "survival" guide while in South Africa.
Such solid points, thanks so much for engaging 🙏👍

@@lesibamashaba3898 From what exactly?
@Zipporah Your Explorer 👣 from childhood traumas which made you to hate on a total stranger Moloi
@@lesibamashaba3898 Are you telling me about yourself? I couldn't have had a better childhood being born within marriage, raised by both parents, grew up in an affluent neighbourhood, went to the best schools, graduated with a university degree, running my own business, and spending my life with the man that I love. I'm sure this is more than I can say for you hence the desperation to be loved by strangers, so much so that you would easily claim them as one of "us" based on youtube videos. Sies maan wena, take yourself seriously...
@Zipporah Your Explorer 👣 don't worry you will get over the trauma, it's understandable and don't forget to forgive yourself
If you gossip about someone we gossip with you n go tell that person afterwards
😅😅😅
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Drama is our second name🤣
Lol I've been watching real housewives of Durban and the DRAMA is astonishing 😂
The only problem we have in South Africa is people who come in illegally, traffickers and drug dealers... etc from other countries while we have our own trouble makers, not to mention the nyash shakers. Nigeria and other African should know that we very welcoming as South Africans but we can only tolerate so much to a certain extent. We have load shedding to deal with and corruption, don't add to that equation.
Organise every other day I organise 🙌🙌🙌
🤣
Nice content.
Never had any interaction with them but judging from the stories of animosity towards other African nationals over the years, I don't think I'll step foot in SA.
I like the music though (Amapiano is spiritual 😂😂) & the women 🔥🔥
By the way, I have no problem with everything you've listed here nor do I have issues with being a law abiding citizen of the world. I just don't want to end up as a statistic in some riot while minding my business🤷🏿♂️ 😑😑
Hi Femi! Please dont 'cancel' South Africa o, there's so much I believe you'll enjoy here especially as a tourist. This country is a natural beauty and it's management is commendable too. Yes, there's some crime, but its not an everyday reality for the average person, trust me. There are also a lot of great people here - the majority, in fact. I guess the boldness of the unpleasant experiences just tends to get a lot more press.
Thanks for your comment 🙏
Also, yes to Amapiano everyday! 😅🤌
Good for you Femi.... Thank you
So true🤣🤣😆😆
South African love drama and gossip
If I may ask, have you experienced xenophobia in South Africa? or seen someone experiencing it?
Hi. So I have experienced discrimination and negative attitudes here, but never violent xenophobia. Thankfully, my positive experiences exceed my negative ones. Unfortunately, I know a few people who have experienced xenophobia but their stories are not mine to tell. 🙏
There is no xenophobia in South Africa the only problem is we hate people who come here illegally and break our laws. Most of your fellow countrymen sell drugs and traffick our children so we will not be silenced or blackmailed coz we love our country and we will not fold our hands to see people destroy it. Two weeks ago the Nigerian embassy in Johannesburg had their electricity cut off coz they were not paying their bill, instead of feeling ashamed the embassy issued a statement saying the metro police are invading their property. It's difficult to live with people who are dishonest and all they think of is themselves.
@@nomfunekonosilela3895 it's a delicate issue... But overall one love..
@@nomfunekonosilela3895 so how can they be Africa's guiding big brother if they won't pay their electricity bill. I mean this is irresponsible behaviour, it will also make people disrespect aby country that behaves like this. They can't do it in the west, but they want to do it to a fellow African country. How can we then be a united continent with such arrogant behaviour. Did they end up paying their electric bill.
@@nomfunekonosilela3895 Basically you're saying all the crime happening in one of the most dangerous countries in the world is perpetuated by only foreigners and not the "saintly" South Africans ?. Talk about lacking accountability
U look very beautiful
Thank you 😊
I love your hair. Do u speak Yoruba?
Thanks a lot! Yes I do speak Yoruba fluently 😊
@@oyinkanhoney I'm Zulu and taking Yoruba classes
@@hlengiwemasondo2858 for real!!! That's so admirable. I commit to learning more Zulu this year! 💃
@@oyinkanhoney there is an App called Duolingo that recently added Zulu lessons. It’s a fun App. The beginner level looks tough to me as a Zulu speaker who started with ba be bi bo bu before learning names of animals. It is worth trying though, especially since your is probably familiar with the sounds already.
You are so beautiful
Thank you so much 🙏
U are beautiful
just wondering if u married, u so super beautiful
I dont know if you do realise your accent has & is changing, I think I might be bias toward anything you do. I truly envy your husband. He's very lucky indeed
you beautiful
Thank you :)
Thank you for the good content, however I implore you to look up the meaning of the word "xenophobia" and see if it fits to your description of South Africans. I fail to understand why so many people want to settle in a country they describe as xenophobic. In my opinion, what you and others refer to as xenophobia is actually South africans' way of resisting xenophobic tendencies when some of our foreign brothers and sisters abuse our hospitality. What is xenophobic about a people who are resisting distribution of narcotics in their country or people who are fedup with people coming into their country illegally? These are just a few examples of what our people fight against.
You will also notice that us South Africans don't emigrate to look for greener pastures when we are not happy with any situation, we believe in rolling up our sleeves to face the problem head on to effect the outcomes we want to see. There are cases where South Africans take the law into their own hands when they feel abused by those exploiting loopholes in our system regardless of their nationality and that cannot be called xenophobia. Whenever someone calls us xenophobic, we see it as indicative of that person insulting us and having overstayed their welcome.
That's why we can't survive Nigeria
Nigeria is far better than south africa
I advise u stop encouraging ppl to come in SA please sister why can't u deal with the discrimination n stress alone u wanna bring more ppl to be killed here? Why can't u do a different content n ignore SA
Are they coming to your family or eat your food!! Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
