I am south African born and bred and that was such an accurate description of our country. Thank you, that actually put a smile on my face
Recently moved to South Africa from Namibia
I am enjoying every bit of Cape town 😁
I’m a Nigerian living in the US who loves South Africa so much.
SA is such a beautiful country. I have had people even south africans discourage me from visiting but I know how dangerous stereotypes are.
Planing on buying a home and setting up a business there too. Can’t wait to visit soon!
Come thru make sure u visit cpt
Why do you people flock to Southern Africa? Build im your own country or the US. I am so tired of Nigerians in our part of Africa. I am sick of them.
You are welcome my brother 🇿🇦
Your most welcome here my brother!! ONE LOVE
You welcome my brother SA 🇿🇦 we love 😘
As a straight South African Black man who has watched your channel before you moved to South Africa. I found you knowledgeable and emotionally mature.
Your POV about SA is so spot on. African Americans and Black South Africans have a lot of similarities because of our experience of coming from white supremacy government.
The person telling you how terrible SA is was probably White & it's not that they were wrong, it's just that they wouldn't have complained so vigorous during Apartheid when "Blacks knew our place".
The same is true about America. I'm sure there are some White Europeans who hate the way the demographic and social mobility of people they saw to be inferior.
I also love what you said about no matter how financially successful you were in thr States. There were some people who wouldn't want you in that space. That was powerful. Honestly, it's not that South Africa is better but Black people fought for and are fighting for our space here. We are an African country, yes we have 1st world development & 3rd World problems but we are African at the end of the day.
South Africa is also one of the only African countries where you can be openly LBGTQIA. South African Homosexuas fought for their rights here & we have a very liberal constitution. We legalized Homosexual unions before the US and some European States.
We have a history of social activism here, so it was bound to happen. I guess that what happens if you were Colonialisrd for 300 years followed by 50 years of Apartheid. You tend to side with oppressed and marginalised people.
Glad you enjoy & are Enjoying South Africa. Please continue to be honest about my home. Some of us who were born and have ansestory here probably don't appreciate what we have & also what wr can do to make it better. I enjoy your communication style, it's a strength of yours.
Much Love❤️❤️❤️❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Well said brother
South Africa wasn't colonised for 300 years, more like 150.
Thank you MJ for giving a open minded and positive review about our country🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏💞
My pleasure!! ❤🇿🇦
@@dimbwemazala8978Living this comment on this channel is weird
u are so weird 🤦🏽♀️
@@MJHarrisSpeaksdid you meet with Somizi
@@dimbwemazala8978this comment is so weird
I love your energy. Im African American and a single mother who wants to move to south Africa and so does my daughter so i am looking into buying a home there. This video was lovely
❤❤❤❤ You’re representing African Americans very well. Thank you brother 🌹🥰 To our South African siblings we love you. We will reunite with you all soon. We are going to take over the world together!!!
I'm a black American. Y'all take everything and run with it 🙄
@@kennettabradford6566omg yes! Africans don't even see AAs as their people. many AAs living there are attacked/murdered in africa due to jealousy
😂😂😂 what do u mean?
what ? @@kennettabradford6566
I love South Africa, since my visit I want to move there. I’m 62 trying to finish my teaching degree, then off to my New Home. I love the group Mafikizolo, I love sewing so the fabrics are amazing, then I golf so got to find a good golf course. I love to dance and being from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 honey, this Bumblebee is a joy to be around, I enjoy life, laughter, being a wonderful person and being kind to others this is a gift from the man above. God is my source and my teacher. I’m in love with South Africa. Can’t decide if I would live in Kempton, Pretoria, Durban, Johannesburg, Capetown help me.
Johannesburg suburbia . Pick a place that's a nice Estate not a free standing home you will enjoy the benefits of those structures more
Pretoria is also a very quiet and beautiful place although you may experience some racism possibly
I'm from Edenvale, it's in the east of Johannesburg. Since you enjoy golfing I would suggest you strongly consider living at a golf estate. They're beautiful! I have friend who live in them and they're really top notch. Can't wait to see you when you finally arrive, drop a comment under mine and I'll show you around 💕
Pretoria will do.
My 17 year old really wants to leave the country and I’m considering South Africa so thank you for this.
Yes! Me too. Looking at Johannesburg. Durban and Cape Town are beautiful as well, but I dnt blame your son at all. Me and my family are looking into this. I wish you well. 🙏🏾
Why does he want to leave?
I hope & pray that you & your family a blessed , safe journey & adventure.🙂
You are my hero, we need to talk. frfr🙂❤️
@@ErinBRI pray for you & your family wellness. 🙂
I love how he addressed the Safety issue,
I'm South African and i can assure ppl that South Africa is safe,
No one will attack you at day light, just take all the proper necessary precautions you'll be fine.
Not true. Hijackings, rape and murders happen nearly every minute there. It’s a beautiful country and there’s better areas than others but like MJ says, it’s a big gap. I speak from personal experiences and all I’ll say is that my nearly retired British family packed and sold everything to get us kids (then) out. It’s not safe.
Uhm as a South African I can safely say it depends on the area
@@maryphike2929 Every country in the world has areas that are unsafe and South Africa is no exception.
@@sphelelevilakazi3133 yep not disputing was just saying ,the comment above said it’s safe and no one can attack you at day light, and nah that’s not that true
@@maryphike2929so it's like everywhere else. ok good.
I’m American and I visited SA for 2 weeks and planning to come back next year for 3 weeks. I’m so open to moving to SA at some point or at least having a home there.
An American with the surname mandisa is strange😂😂
@@Unknown-individual not my surname but my middle name that my father named me and it might be strange to you
@@kelseymandisa Was he South African?
@@kelseymandisa definitely is because mandisa is a South African name😂
@@sandrarose6068 what's the coke bottle comment supposed to mean?
Im South African living in Amsterdam, I completely hate it when foreigners say things are cheap back home. Thank you for addressing that. The wealth inequality is one of the largest in the world.
Also, when it comes to dating… it is very diverse. I don’t know how many times I have had to explain to people that I met my Persian husband in Joburg. They don’t believe me😂
The dating really is diverse in SA 😅 my boyfriend is Chinese and we met in Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth. We were both born and raised in Eastern Cape.
I so love you for this, MJ. My country is diverse indeed. You're one of the people I'd love to meet in person one day. Your mind and perspective on things are conscious always. 🙏🏾🪷❤
South Africa actually has the highest level of inequality in the world.
The living costs in Amsterdam are 10x more expensive than South Africa, what are you talking about
yep,we south africans don't have time to waste when it comes to dating,if we r just playing we let each other know from the get go ,if we are seriously dating,it also shows on the get go,it's called intentional dating ❤
this is one of the best reviews about South Africa from an American perspective (No stereotype)... and I lived in the US for 12yrs in Jackson MS
As a South African it's interesting to hear this POV. Very refreshing, I think sometimes we forget wow great our country is.
What's so great?
South Africa is such a beautiful country; However, I found the people of South Africa to be even more beautiful! They are so acceptable of others. I fell in love with that country and feel like my authentic self in South Africa.
we have a stunning country and so many are jealous and will tell you otherwise whilst they secretly covet into moving into your home.Stay woke, some right here on this comment section
@SoulfulMsSavannah aww thank you dear ❤❤❤❤❤
The dating around is not a South African culture. We adopted it from TV lol… American culture.
Dating here means we're in a relationship
MJ seems more relaxed, unbothered & more refreshed in South Africa. Im so happy for U & Ur two boys.
As a Southern african whose lived in SA and a nomad, I am honestly so proud and happy about how balanced and well informed your review was for one of Africa’s jewels. So many review new cities (especially cities across mama Africa) with bias, no perspective/closed mindedness and most notably, no research. This approach always fuels cringeworthy discourse/ conversations about traveling/living in the continent. People need to accept every country has costs and benefits/good and bad and an analysis is always good but its good to be open and embrace new experiences because you’ll always have some good and generally, you can adjust and account for the bad.
This review of my country is by far the best I have ever seen. 10/10. Everything was well explained and accurate, this video is very informative for non-South Africans. You really have taken your time to educate yourself on our country Mj. Thank you. You represented us well
Love the colors and bedroom design 😁No lies about being 40 and falling asleep with the remote .
MJ aka Sunshine - Yess! 😂
😂😂😂😂
South Africa my country. Being in the US cannot compare at all to SA, our lifestyle in SA is the business!!!! Preach and show every one that Africa, especially southern is where its at!!! ❤❤
MJ is in South Africa?! How did I miss this?
Edit: Now that I have had time to relax and listen....Thank you, for such an objective analysis. You are wonderful, and I believe our country has been very blessed to have you decide to become one of us. ❤
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I'm glad I did. As a fellow Black American who loves South Africa, I really appreciate the rational, nuanced, and practical perspective you provided regarding safety in the country.
Thank you!
I LOVE THIS! Africa is safe, beautiful. Zambian here and I love South Africa and Southern Africa in general
Thank you MJ for a fair view on my country, that is so fair 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
❤️🇿🇦❤️ you’re welcome!
So true, once a South African man decides he wants to explore a relationship with you, he won't share you.And they want you to automatically know when they've decided you guys are exclusive 😂😂😂😂😂
Cape Town South African is where I going to be living soon, I’ve been doing yrs of research and seen many UA-camrs go there and give there prospective and it’s been very pleasant, thanks for your feedback been waiting on this video,
going to visit Dec. can’t wait
Wow I’m so happy you love our country MJ we love you too, I’m a South African based in China 🇨🇳 but will certainly retire back home in South Africa when the right time comes 🇿🇦 🥰💖🙏🏽👌
So glad you did this video, MJ! Excellent points! I’ve been to the Country twice and definitely know that’s where me and my husband are retiring. Love SA!🇿🇦
I’m African American and moved to Mozambique then Congo and now Zimbabwe. In between, I’ve spent a lot of time in South Africa and had a business there. I can relate and agree to everything you says. On dating, men there are so much more relationship oriented and invested in marriage. I’ve had great experiences and my current boo is for keeps ❤ keep thriving, MJ! Come visit Zim one day!
Wow 10/10. Thank-you for speaking so well about our country. 🇿🇦 If we can just adjust our political leadership, then South Africa would definitely soar higher. Happy you love it here. Xoxo ❤🎉🇿🇦
I'm glad you having a great experience in our country MJ we love you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The likelihood of finding intentional men in America is slim
This was a really good and fair review, MJ. I am moving to SA in a few weeks after having visited there for almost ten times over the past 16 years. I love it there for the progressively social, economic and professional reasons and relationships. You gave good detail and a good, comprehensive perspective!
Glad it was helpful!
So happy to hear a positive review about our country MJ! Love you and God bless ❤
So proper dating in South Africa and casual, playing around dating in America...got it!
This is so beautiful, I like how mature and respectful you have narrated your experience❤
Impeccable review on our country MJ, some of the misconceptions have really tarnished our reputation as a country so to hear your perspective from such a place of grace and wisdom, it truly is a delight to have you here. Greetings to you and the boys, love ya! ❤
❤️🇿🇦
I love how honest and well balanced this video is!
Thank you So Much MJ for clarifying alot of things here in South Africa!!! Love you
I LOVE this movement of Africans coming home
queen 💖
Hey MJ
Thanks for sharing! Now get out there and find you a African prince!❤❤
I love this country so much. Everything in me is telling me. We gonna get it together. Thank you for the perspective 🙏🏽.
I was about to throw out some of my clothes . Thanks for that duality
We love you in South Africa MJ❤❤
Hey, for Americans asking about dating culture in Southy I wanna say that it’s very different. In Southy if you go on multiple dates with someone it indicates that your allowing a relationship to form therefore it’s frowned upon if the person is going on dates with other people. If you’re dating for fun it should be stated.
Yes.
It's the same in America if you go on multiple dates with the same person it's means that you are an item but some people take advantage of the actual meaning of dating. They don't like to say dating is a commitment they like to say that we're just friends and we go out from time to time. Most men do that because they don't want to commit because they're afraid that they may meet someone else then they fancy. Meaning they're putting the other person on hold. Men and women do this in America.
SA man once they start calling you "baby" then you should know you already dating 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭your comment took me out
MJ you are a GIFT to humanity. Thank you for your balanced and fair assessment of South Africa. I am proudly South African and I have studied in the US TWICE and I still come back here because it is where my soul is home. So happy you enjoying yourself here. Go travel more and share your experiences with us.
Please tell them because if we are in America and want relationships they think we want green cards but Nop it’s ower way of life we date to marry
Timing! I'm about sick of this urban jungle. I'm scrolling. And you pop up. Across the Atlantic. Lost track of you for a minute. I visited SA spring 2022. I loved it. Your place is FABULOUS. You're full of surprises. 😅
I am a South African, born and living there. So happy to have you in our home land ❤
MJ I'm literally utterly speechless, your review was beautiful, it felt like a well written speech about your experience in SA.
Often times, Americans seem to only have bad things to say about their experience in SA & I'm so glad that you mentioned common sense with regards to how safe it is to travel here because it is exactly just that, yes it's not thee safest country but it is just like any other country that has high rates of crime.
I'm just so in love with your transparency & honest & wonderful review... I love it 😊
You’re very welcome! ❤️🇿🇦
You're so right! When people come to visit once or twice for a few days they make quick judgement on the country especially if they have a slightly uncomfortable experience which is rather unfortunate😢... If only they could travel and stay longer or travel many times to have different unique experiences, they would appreciate it more!
I would love to visit there, one thing i notice is a peaceful glow when black Americans live outside the country. VERY NICE❤I WANT THAT GLOW😂 You have beautiful skin. Thanks for the info
Going back home for the first time in 5 years next week (living and working in Asia), I'm super excited. Glad to see you enjoy and appreciate my home country!
I'm glad I watched your video, MJ. I’m from The Netherlands, and I have been thinking of moving to South Africa, but I don’t know anybody there. I have done my research, but, as you know, reality can be quite different. Which part of South Africa are you living in?
We love you MJ...so happy u get to experience our wonderful country ❤️❤️🥰🥰🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
All South Africans tap in !!! 🇿🇦
Glad to see you like it here so much and thanks for your honest and accurate feedback MJ Harris we love you 💯❤️🥰
Absolutely love this and I love you and your energy! Thank you for letting the world know how awesome our country is.
Best and most authentic review thus far from an American, also I love how you remain sensitive and conscious of the wage/wealth gap 👌🏾
Absolutely loved how he explained that and the truth in it. ❤
❤️🇿🇦
People forget that South Africa is a YOUNG democracy, but it IS a democracy, unlike what we had in the past. We have a lot to work out still, but I LOVE my country. And. you know what...in many ways, loadhshedding is an opportunity! Thank you for your lovely and sensitive reflections💖. You touched my heart😘
What opportunity? Loadshedding am opportunity? Huh😮
@@japrosper7240 Yes!
That’s the beauty, seeing the areas of opportunity and executing. I love your perspective.
💖@@iamDavidaRose
Funny enough, I'm a South African and when I started dating, it was like you said, very intentional. Looking back, I see exactly what you said about Americans finding our dating style different because my partner, being an American, acted exactly like you said - thought that I was fast, but I was just being intentional about dating. Long story short, we ended up getting married and I moved to the USA.
Love you MJ . You are so open minded and I love your perspective about SA.❤
You've gained yourself a new subscriber ❤️I really enjoyed this review, especially the part about how cheap it is living here.
I saw this other tiktoker talking about how cheap it is in South Africa and going to really expensive places.Yes, it may be cheap to him but the way he vocalized it, it was kinda demeaning to the people wh9 work hard to try make ends meet. Thank you for this video Mj❤️❤️
I can see why as an American you’d think that SA isn’t racists, America (from movies &t but shows) is portrayed as a super racist country and that compared to the racism we experience here in SA, it makes sense why you’d think there’s virtually no racism. But for someone that’s only lived in this country their entire life, we see the racism and we feel it especially in Cape Town.
But really enjoyed your “review”, it shows you’ve invested your time in getting to know the country.
The whole Western Cape is the most racist province in the country. Even more racist than the Free-State, which is wild. Apparently America is racist, but I didn’t experience anything when I was there. They were really good to me.
@@MosesMatsepaneyes! I remember returning home from being in the US for a few years and I had travelled the world but did I not cry the first day I landed in Cape Town. Yassses😢😢😢 that Western Cape racism cuts deep man!
It’s because they probably hear his American accent that’s why. I think in Cape Town they hate us Black South Africans yooonng it’s like we are nothing and even coloureds with the hood accent get shamed too.
@@leigh4326 Even coloureds? Yoh I thought they were safe? Yesses! It’s worse than I thought mos.
@@leigh4326 I actually believe this. I do think that he gets around it because he’s American, the accent is what saves him. Any black South African is not having the same experience
Wow finally you all are not “sleeping” on our African and it’s country.
South African men are different they don't waste your time 💯👌🏽
😂😂😂😂stop lying
Hey, this was pretty good insightful information from the host's personal perspective. I hope you MJ, and your family continue to enjoy your blessed fabulous home, life, lifestyle, and Being. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your perspective. You have cleared a lot of mixed emotions regarding visiting the country. Now I’m interested in visiting.
Thanks for you incites and the marvelous tour MJ. You are a blessing to share in such detail. I am really considering going to South Africa in my lifetime. 🤔You make it sound so much welcoming than what I'm used to hearing from people who never go anywhere. Blessings 💝

That sooooooo awesome that you live in South Africa 🇿🇦. It is one of the places I hope to visit one day. Keep giving us updates on how it is to live in South Africa. I am here for it!!!
You are living it up! 🎉Thank you for sharing ❤😊
MJ, thank you so much! For sharing the truth and fact's. I heard many rumors about south Africa. I only saw the negative video's on television. As you emphasize look who's putting them out there. Now, from your perspective on the many things you've talked about solved my curiosity. Your advice is profound! And greatly appreciated. 👍❤😊
I am happy that you are having this experience. Living abroad is the best way to grow in wisdom ❤❤.
I'd love to visit South Africa.
Thank you for such a beautiful review of my country, you make me to be proud to be South African 🙏🏾🇿🇦
I love your energy and I'm gonna subscribe just for that. You are giving a balanced perspective of the country and I think this video is/would be really helpful in giving others who don't live here insight to how things are here

MJ I subscribe because your energy and open mind gives a refreshing perspective on being able to see the world outside of America. You gave us an awesome review of this country. I am excited to come and visit SA to see it’s a country I would like to live there one day. To truly embrace the culture as well. I love to travel. I was born in the Bahamas and live in America. PS you would do so well with your own travel show! I would love to see a show with you traveling the world and getting an honest review about different countries.❤
