    As a South African I have loved watching your videos of SA. I have been in Cape Town for about 3 years now, lived in Joburg for about 10 years before that., so it's been really nice so see a foreigner's perspective on those 2 cities. I actually just wanted to thank you, because honestly your optimism about of SA is refreshing. I'm sure you might have similar experiences with America but when you've spent your entire life in a place you are all too aware of the dark underbelly of that place. It's nice to be reminded every so often of the goodness of my country, and of Cape Town in particular.

    Bunny chow is from where I am from DURBAN. Its a traditional meal made famous by the Indian migrants who were brought to work in the suger cane plantations by the British in the early 1800's. India as well as SA was a colony of the british. The Malay people are tradionaly from CT so the currys etc are different than from Durban.

The kie’sister is more like a doughnut that is also deep fried and then covered with coconut and a little sugar. It’s more a Malay Indian dessert. The koeksister is more a Dutch dessert.

      Joe-cq It is really sad to see that after nearly 30 years of "democracy", the majority black population is still confined to the "townships" the Afrikaners built to keep them, and most of them are not even trying to get out. It is like Rosa Park enjoying riding in the back of the bus. In the meantime, the nice cities the white folks built for themselves are decaying at rapid rate ever since the whites left them to build their own bunker neighborhoods. They are the only ones that can afford to fly in or out of the country. If you do not believe me, just go to any airport in SA.

    KOEK-SISTERS... Koek = Cake... + Sisters = Sister... direct English Translation = Cake-sisters. Don't ask me how or who ever came up with that name, we just always knew it as such, let's just hope its origin go nothing to do with nani.... Spelled 'Kota' is actually a 'Quarter' just pronounced in slang-ish township accent, but derives from the Quarter of a loaf of bread... Penguins are indeed endemic to Cape Town.... Bo-Kaap - literally 'Top-Cape', meaning The Top Section of the Cape, as in geographic height.

      From what I've seen/heard, it seems like they love Cape Town's beauty, but prefer staying in Johannesburg because:
      - Joburgers are fast moving go-getters. We Capetonians like to chill. It seems many of these African Americans are here to hustle and make money. Joburg is the place to be for that mindset.
      - Property is apparently much more expensive in Cape Town.
      - They feel more comfortable with the demographics in Joburg and Durban. I've often heard Cape Town described as "cliquey" and more racist compared to Joburg. I've lived in Cape Town all my life, so maybe I'm blind to it, but that's what I've heard.
      So ja, it seems like they treat Cape Town more as a holiday destination.

      ​@@StAlfonzo87 If you are on a tourist visa, you can't work; therefore, I'm not sure what you meant by "African Americans are here to hustle and make money." Additionally, even if one could work, there would be little desire for Americans to earn rands, when one could easily earn dollars in the U.S.. Black Americans who are in SA on a tourist visa are vacationing.

      @@Blissful-es1kk Making money was a poor choice of words. Perhaps "conduct business" would've been better. I was thinking of the likes of Mansa Mayne (definitely did a lot of hustling), Asad El Malik, Changing The Narrative, Julian Albino, etc. They're not necessarily here to make money, but they all seemed to settle in Joburg for living permanently or conducting their business.

    Thanks for this. Cape Town is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the mountain and sea vistas pretty much everywhere you look. Next time try and go hiking when your baba is a bit bigger and also some water sports like canoeing, snorkelling, swimming, etc. I feel very lucky to live here 🤗

The Western Cape with its beauty is breathtaking with its vineyards, views and historic buildings etc. I hope you will visit SA again in the future. There is so much more to explore. Don't miss my hometown, Port Elizabeth, which has been renamed Gquebera ( not a popular name with the people living here. We were not consulted by the government so that we could choose a new name ourselves) The Metropol of our city has been called Nelson Mandela Bay for years, so the name ought to have been Mandela Bay. Anyway, our city is very interesting, and we have beautiful, clean beaches.
    Best of luck to you, and thank you for your channel. 😊😊😊

The West coast is also nice and it’s not far from Cape Town, Langebaan is approximately 120km from Cape Town and it is next to West coast National park.
