Hi im new to your chanel and find it very interesting to see our country South Africa from another perspective. Why did your family relocate or visit South Africa?
Hello 👋🏾 Welcome family! We were Africa bound, with Ghana and Rwanda in mind, until we started seeing videos about South Africa that were coming from The Real South Africa's yt channel. We decided to reach out to them to plan a trip. That one trip is when we fell in love with the people, food, culture, accents, languages, hospitality, conveniences, malls, homes, cars...and so on. After that one trip, we couldn't stay away. We visited SA three times before we came back with suitcases and visas in hand. We have not looked back! 😍
@@OurJourney2SouthAfrica Welcome to the country . South Africa is amazing and the weather as well. I am very happy for your family. If every you decide to tour the country you must visit Durban. It's very lovely.
@@reantai7101 They aren't as hectic but we definitely have them, some smaller estates don't even get to know about them unless an owner and not a rental.
We bought into Midstream Estate over 10 years ago, when the collection of the enclaves was still called Midrand Estates, and I know for a fact that the prices were not only hiked to what they are today due to the estate's popularity, so I find your "Midstream is too high, Midstream is too high" tone a bit dismissive to the real issues that we're facing in our native country as black people (middle and emerging middle). Don't get me wrong, the issue is not that Americans and Europeans are choosing SA as their refuge. You're welcome as long as you're not criminals. The issue people have is with our system and how the property industry isn't regulated properly. Back then, the enclaves were priced low because they were meant to appeal mostly to the working class white Afrikaans family, hence the Afrikaans schools. The black middle then started seeing the appeal and we bought in very fast. As a way to control how many of us get to live here or the calibre of blacks as they put it in not so many words, the prices were then hiked. They also use dollars and euros to control the calibre. Yes, that's an actual thing here in SA! If you are familiar with the neighbourhood, I'm sure you would have noticed that the first phase of Midstream (Windsor Gate) is still predominantly white and that's for a reason. Our problems in SA go deeper than just us loving to complain. The hard working people of SA who are supposed to be able to afford here also want to reap the rewards like everyone else that they have graciously welcomed to the country.
Hello 👋🏾 Thank you for the comment. The purpose of the video is to show cheaper alternatives near the Midstream area. That concerns me that it came across with a 'tone'. I will have to go back and listen. I was trying to express that I agree, 'Midstream is too high'. There's been a huge hike in price since we purchased a year ago. I was made aware of Windsor. What you speak of is the exact thing that's happening to 'us' in the States. Price hikes on homes are to keep 'us' out, and property tax increases are to move 'us' out. South Africans have my heart. I will NEVER speak ill of anyone's situation. There's not a day that goes by when I'm not praying, hoping, and wishing for change for our people as a WHOLE!
@@OurJourney2SouthAfrica No need to explain yourself Mrs Price aka Mom , nothing wrong with what you said..By the way the Real South Africa will be doing a property tour and it will be great if she joins...
Honestly the place is just popular with buyers, I mean it recently came third in the country for the most popular area for south africans to buy property. I don't think any developer has the luxury of only targeting white people especially in south africa where their numbers are not as big as america. If anyone should be blamed it is the developer for profiteering.
@@OurJourney2SouthAfrica Hello there Sis❤. By now some of us who have been following your journey and life since before moving here, we know very well that you love and consider South Africa your real home now, because it is. That's why we are here to support you as honest as we can, in your settling in. You really didn't say any thing off. You are good and we love you. Misunderstandings do happen.
