The air in Joburg doesn't smell like oppression.
Thandokazi Dlephu wow 😂😂😂
yeah smells like armpits...
OH MY WORD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Neither does the Cape whose majority are the indigenous coloureds.
I`m from Cape Town and you so wrong, you just think its white and black?, Cape Town is a Colored city, its mainly home to the colored population. think about coloured people for a change.
My first time visiting Cape Town from the U.S., I was SHOCKED and disappointed to find myself the only Black person sitting at a restaurant sometimes. I agree, when in Joburg, Black people take up more space and that feels comforting.
Thanks and from Amerikkka just reading comments, due to the racial disparities and climate in USA, would you personally recommend this country to relocate to and where exactly. I reside in Atlanta Georgia right now from PA/NY. Ase 👊🏿❤️
Ms Tee I’m 100% planning to move to SA one day.
I always get shocked when I see every black American vsisting Cape Town instead of Joburg and j am like, wow they gonna come across some hot cooked racism there, that place is deep Europe with African workers
IamAman Dempisi although this May be true, I still LOVE Cape Town and thoroughly enjoyed myself both times I visited. I plan to visit many more times.
@@mkdempisi why shouldn't they visit cape town?
another thing for me was that there's just something in the air that makes you want to hustle and get your life. Cape Town on the other hand is more relaxed. idk.
I was telling my American friend the other day (who is currently staying in Cape Town) that Joburg is a more progressive place to live than in Cape Town for a young black person. After one weekend in Joburg I was like, entlek entlek, why can't I play house music in my car in Cape Town? Why can't I chat about why I think traditional weddings are important and that yes, I want to have one one day. I know it seems like a silly revelation to have, but for those of us remaining this side (even though I grew up in the North West), I think we should be okay enough with ourselves to be in white spaces and not try to act otherwise than being ourselves. We could all chase the convenience and 'comfort' of Joburg, but some of us have been graced to switch things up a bit in Cape Town. Love your channel by the way.
The one thing i noticed about Cape Town is that the taxi drivers there are more personable than the ones here in Jo'burg.
I noticed that too while visiting! The drivers in Joburg would barely even speak to us.
Lol taxi drivers and their gaatjies are hilarious on the cape flats and the southern subs. They can be an amazing source of entertainment. Also the gaatjies is the best..... No need to stress about balancing the books in a taxi in cape Town. You don't have to prove your math skills as punishment for traveling 😂 the pressure was always on in Pretoria... Hated it😂
This is so true, I noticed this on my trips to capetown, proudly a joburg girl 🙌🏾
Cape Town is more of a holiday destination and Joburg is more of a cosmopolitan city
Couldn’t have said it any better.
Cape Town is pretty cosmopolitan. It might not be as big as JNB but is is far safer and does have a much different relaxed feel to what Joburg has. Cape Town has caught up over the years and is a force to be reckoned with. It is the second largest city after all?
@@shawnvoges7632 murder capital of the world. the whooooooooole world🌎
On point! From a former Capetonian!
This was very informative. That part where you spoke about all the restaurant clientele being white after a certain time of the day, was very interesting. Also, as soon as you become aware of the microaggressions you start to notice them EVERYWHERE. Great video!
As someone who lives in Cape Town, don't come here guys xD Property prices are high af
good! I know people that are tourists to South Africa are often "oh Joburg, I was more afraid" (because no white little enclave!) But it is so good because much of my family lives there in Joburg, and they really like it. When I mention that to people in the US they are "oh NOT CAPE TOWN?" (yes my daughter lives there, but the rest of the family is in Joburg area). Plus a lot of the industry and big companies are in Joburg. It's a financial and economic center. It is where things HAPPEN.
Yes JHb and crime go together and it's falling to pieces from neglect. Viva Cape Town and Viva DA, keep up the excellent work.
@@gmail7866 Cape Town is not safer than Johannesburg
@@gmail7866lol 😅Cape Town is not safer darling
This is so true... WOW I am from joburg and studying in Cape Town so I can relate.
Hey man, brazilian guy here. I'm going to visit South Africa and almost planned my english course on Cape Town, but after your video, some additional research and tips from friends, I've chosen Joburg! I'll be there for 1 month to study, thank you very much for all the info!
Thank you for your video. I am currently studying abroad in Cape Town at UCT and I see the differences you touched on. Before I go back to the US I plan on visiting Johannesburg
I love your comments. I am South African and I live in the UK. I find when talking to people who want to visit SA they say automatically Cape Town and not mention Jo'burg. The way you compared the two is really good and makes the viewer think about their choices. Btw your comment about Jo'burgers being friendlier that is so true; I think we are way friendlier. I have lived with Capetonians here in the UK and ok they friendly and laid back but there is definitely a difference. Thanks for putting up a great video makes me a bit homesick!
I'm a Black American from Chicago and probably will visit Joburg extensively...while visiting Cap Town on a holiday. Thanks for the opinion.
I am from Joburg and I visited Cape Town a couple of months ago and I must say I noticed every single thing that you mentioned here about Cape Town, how different it is from Joburg, and I must say it was extremely unfriendly and I would NEVER live in such a place. Call me racist too, but it feels like you have invaded their (white people) territory and everything of enjoyment is for white people's pleasure. Like they don't wanna face the reality that they are in the AFRICAN CONTINENT!
I'm a Durbanite who lived in CT for a year. CT is racist AF and is the last stronghold of the spirit of apartheid. Couldn't be happier to be out of that place.
those were probably tourists, the whites are very few in CT, the colored ppls make up te vast majority
@@raygraser6196 No, Cape Town is full of white South Africans, they make up almost 20% of the Western Cape population and the majority of them are concentrated in and around Cape Town city. Coloureds make up 49% of the WC population.

@@nowelaZA no, its 15.7% google it. 🙄
@@raygraser6196 And most of them are in Cape Town itself and basically control the place. I'm not just talking off Google numbers, I lived there for a year before going back to my hometown of Durban in a hurry. The racism in CT is suffocating.
i live in Pretoria & I absolutely love the turnup Life in Jozi as well as the creative openness we have amongst the young people. if you need hookups let me know
Jaclyn JayCee Hook me up
I need hookup
I'm trying to visit Jozi to look for property.
@Jaclyn_JayCee reach me there
Hey I wanna move to PTA please help
that 2nd last point is the gospel truth🙌 I feel like racism is palpable in the air in CPT.😶
Proudly Capetownian but I fully agree.In my opinion CapeTown is the most segregated city in South Africa .
I especially agree with your last point. As a whole, I love every chance I get to SA, but you can still feel the tension/apartheid in Cape Town. CPT is beautiful, aesthetically, but overall, I wasn't impressed. Just a lot of cold stares from non black people if you were in certain areas where they didn't expect you to be. Give me Durban any day of the week.
I found this very helpful before I come visit both cities. I am excited to experience what each city has to offer, especially I grew up in a very diverse city in California, and then moved to a not so diverse city in Georgia, USA. The 'stereotypical advice' I was told was that I should spend 'more time in Cape Town and avoid Joburg'. WHAT??? Made no sense to me. Joburg in my opinion is the epi-center of history and culture and life of S.A. in a positive way. It was interesting to hear what you had to say about both cities and then compare it to what people from my country told me about both cities. I will see for myself when I arrive. I am looking forward to my experiences in your beautiful cities. Thank you for your honest opinion and sharing it with the world.
I hate it when people rubbish Joburg. I find it to be a lovely vibey city.
100% Accurate Sibu. I live in Cape Town but have family in Joburg. I travel to Joburg every now and then and spend holidays there too. Trust me, the difference is huge. The quality of life black people live in Joburg is waay better than what black people have in Cape Town. From the number of black people in model C schools. To the number of black people in top management positions. To the number of black people that live in the burbs. Lastly just getting stuck in traffic in Joburg paints the whole picture, ,see the cars black people are driving. Cape Town will take forever to catch up. Every time I come back from Joburg, I feel blaaah being in Cape Town.
and why should Cape Town "catch up?" its majority are the indigenous Cape coloureds, its YOU who should catch up, try blending in and stop being so racist.
The black are a minority in Cape Town. The majority are colored and that's a good thing. To be black doesn't mean to have everything you want. Especially if you don't have the right qualification.
@Hamza Mohammed actually black people are second in number to colored people. White people are the minority as compared to coloureds and blacks
@Hamza Mohammed, why you catching emotions lol
@@kgg9642 coloureds are always ready to fight black people and we have no time to fight them, all we want is to fix issues with white counter part cos they monopolized everything
that last one is totally true, people talk more languages in Jozi
Cape Town IS an Apartheid Museum😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reasons why I don't want to visit Cape Town.
Cape Town is coloured genius, they are the indigenous people of the Cape.
Its natural Wilhelm the United States has Little China, you go to any metropolitan area and you will find the Latin quarter etc, its natural to want to be with people like you own. Thing is the bantu migrated from West and Central Africa, they are not indigenous to Southern Africa, now suddenly they don't like the Capes ethnic geographics, tough, there's always Nigeria or the Congi they can go back to
as ugly as you are clueless
Iee bailey where did you learn your History? I don't know if you're Colored or what but i tell you what you do no know anything about Bantu people. Africa is for black people right and Bantus were forced to came to this southern part of their land due to various reasons. I want you to get that right Africa is for Blacks. I mean the entire continent.
yeah absolutely spot on man, before you even mentioned your number 1 difference, i was wondering wether you were gonna mention that because that was certainly the number one difference in my mind as well. Its a shame that capetown isnt more afro centric or as afro centric as johannesburg. I mean if you arrived in cpt on a direct flight from anywhere outside of africa, you probably wouldnt even know you were in africa...not much african art, cutlure around etc
If you can drive in Jo'burg... you can drive anywhere in the world. Standard!!! Jo'burg driving you need an advance driving course. Taxi to CBD dont play... I love jozi maboneng
😂😂this is true...
Its quiet trick but if you can master driving around joburg more specifically CBD hai shame😂😂👌
I'm originally from Joburg but currently living Cape Town and one of the biggest differences I came across when I first moved here was the pace. Everything in Cape Town is just slow. Was very frustrating at first but I kinda just got used to it to the point where Joburg's pace of things overwhelms me now :(
Cape Town encourages Business and Pleasure combined. We love balance
I'm from cape Town living in Johannesburg now but I'm yet to experience or understand this pace or fast pace of Johannesburg, the only thing I've noticed is that the sun sets early in Johannesburg at before 6pm which is really wierd and I hate that and people wake up earlier in Jhb but I guess because their day is really short, example in cape Town I work from 9 to 6 or 7 but in Johannesburg in can't leave the office at 6 because it's dark already which is really frustrating. But I'm still yet to experience or see this fast pace people of Johannesburg keep on talking about
@@ntsikelelomadikane6649 😂 😂 😂 finally.. Thank you my friend. Also from capetown and unfortunately residing in Pretoria.. 5 years now and honestly i dont see or feel this so called pace.. I need someone to explain where is this pace.
💯 Correct someone told once tht is from jhb.. Sunsets its captwn an hour later meanin night life in GP begin. Now with tht they think life here is faster 😂 😂 😂 wht a joke
Coz here im struggling aswel.. To get things done. Same as in capetown. So what is the fuzz all about shame
Guys Cape Town is pretty chilled ,it is possible to live in Cape Town without experiencing a racial incident. One thing that I do notice is that there seems to be a resistance against the building of affordable houses for people of color in Cape Town(particularly in urban area's).
It's intentional tghey want to keep black professionals out
I am staying in Cape Town, you are definitely right. You know exactly what you are talking about.
Cape Town is honestly overrated. But I have heard that crime is just as bad as what people make it out to be in Johannesburg
Didn't think I would agree with anything and landed up agreeing 100%
Brown nosing until Malema takes over.
Was in Jozi for only 1 week and I can agree with everything you're saying here 100%
Thanks for this informative video! Greetings from the Middle East!
South African living in Perth.I liked your video.Thumbs up.
Spot on. Esp number 1...I'm from JHB and literally, that is the biggest shock factor everytime I go home! 😞
Even me! grew up in JHB, went to Wits for a year then ended up at UCT and was shook. The difference can be seen at both Universities as well. I couldn't believe I was still in an African city. If I went out in JHB I would probably be 1 in 6 white people at a party, as per demographics of the country obvs. But in Cape Town, wow, the inverse is palpable. My dad and my oupa still calls it 'the colony' or 'die kolonie' (my whole family is Afrikaans, we are all v white, which makes this more about the Anglo-Boer War). Thought it was too on the noes when my dad said that. JHB is a better city than CPT. full stop. soz for the rant.
im from jhb and went to work in CT. I was shocked that the traffic in cbd is worse than jhb.literally takes an hour to get out if cbd during peak hours.I agree that white ppl in CT are not friendly as whites in jhb and pta. I hated CT so much that I left my job there in less than one month and returned to jhb.also, at work I found CT is still backward e.g. no flexible time, lunch breaks, had to be at work at 8am
You are right but cape town is mainly home to colored population.
Is white a color??
I love your new videos, the vlogs and challenges, but I miss these videos from you. I am a South African living abroad and love your view of things in SA. Keep up the good work.
WOW!!! The further you go out of the circle... the darker the people get! WOW!!!
I love your bomber jackets man lol. And the videos aint bad either :p Keep em coming
Great video. Im coloured and first time I went to Jozi when I was younger it was the first thing I noticed as back.in eighties early nineties one did not see that many black professionals in CT bearing in mind I was teen/student then... and then going to Jozi and seeing.sophisticated proper black people back then was ok this is different. But in Jozi I find the opinion of coloured people some times can be that we are thieves. Why I would want to work for a short period in Jozi is I love the entrepeneurship and confidence in the city
Wow I'm currently studying in CPT and the segregation is in your face you know. Sometimes it feels like CPT is just a nice tourist place only because of all the beautiful places you can visit, it's nice because of that. You have to have money to see the good side of this city. I hated cpt when I got here, my faith helped a lot coz after a while I just felt really uncomfortable living with resentment in my heart for a place I'm always in. So I decided to explore the other sides of cpt and there are good place and there are places you have to be extra careful, not in a way that gives away that you scared. Believing that my safety is really in God helps get out of Res. Now I don't hate it at all but I won't settle here. The transport system is another problem sometimes. I never used a train back in JHB but because its fast (sometimes) here in CPT I use it everyday. At first it was uncomfortable but now I enjoy it more that taking a bus or a taxi. I guess for me there is more tension in the bus, sometimes you feel like people don't want to use it but they don't have a choice coz the transport system is just not good. Thanks for the video ❤️❤️
I enjoyed this. I'm also from Cape Town and everything you spoke about is so true
Thank you.. I was trying to decide which one to visit.. Joburg it is
Joburg is the place to be
Oh yeah. We call Metrorail MetroFail in Cape Town.
Mark Baadjies yet some of your family members have curly hair or maybe you do to.
That was very informative. The longer people live with one another, the better they will tend to get along. Eventually they become like each other and become one people.
I don't know anything about the history of South Africa, but I wonder if Joburg has had a longer history of living in a bi-racial society?
Thanks for the video. How do safety levels compare in terms of criminal activities
New subbie :) Very impressed with the quality of content you put up. Brief,to the point & very entertaining!
The things about Cape Town are kinda true.As wonderful as it is.Cape Town is not the only great thing about South Africa.And I get angry when people say it is safe.I have lived in the Northern Cape but moved to Cape Town a few years ago.I loved Cape Town when I visited.But when I started to live here in Cape Town.I do not think of it the same way.The mountain and beach gets boring.But is tourist place.I get angry when people criticize Durban,Pretoria and Port Elizabeth.Pretoria and Port Elizabeth gets bad press for being boring.Durban gets bad press for being dangerous are smells bad.But I know those cities are great too.I just wish people could learn to appreciate.And don't have unrealistic expectations about the lifestyle.Cape Town is not really the clean and safe place you think.There are parts that are dirty and ugly.And there is a lot of crime.But if I say talk about how dangerous Cape Town is I am not only ruining the city but also the country
Hey I wanna go to South Africa for my gap year and I don't know if I wanna go to cape town or joburg. What would you recommend (I'm black/eastafrican btw). The school I will work at in joburg is predominantly white bur still diverse tho whereas in cape town its very black.
idk if this info is important but idk where to go lmao
I went to joburg once for 3 days and that was only to get my passport to come to the USA I really need to check it out because I never knew there was so much differences between the two cities
I love that you love our city ♡ Definitely would love to see more work with Anarchadium and some stuff on location.
As I prepare to visit, by doing research first, this video was helpful and comical.
Pleasure!
So Joburg is the same as Johannasburg?
Joburg is just short for Johannesburg
Carlos Uquillas yessir
Or Jozi and Egoli
Wow dude - I am been looking for a fresh perspective and this is it man! Thank you for sharing : )
Totally agree
Cape Town is like an apartheid museum HAHAHAHHA true.Im actually more fearful in Cape Town because i'm always scared that a racial incident might happen to me :(
well the majority are indigenous coloured people.
@@gmail7866 😂😂😂 indigenous 😂😂😂 coloured today and koi 2morrow
MissG Ndlovu coloured people are literally indigenous - the ‘coloured race’ was made in South Africa when all different races mixed, we didn’t move here from any other region. Most of our ancestry comes from the indigenous Khoisan people
@@cody_dbn what about Cape Malay what about the Asiatic People from Madagascar and Mauritius?What about the interracial genes? What about the Indians? Seek knowledge before talking.
Sebs Wa Afrika ZA Whats any of that got to do with coloureds not being indigenous? Cape Malays aren’t cape coloureds. Indians aren’t coloureds either. What about interracial genes? Just because you have interracial ancestry that don’t mean you weren’t born in South Africa? Most coloured peoples ancestry is Khoisan. What you said hasn’t disproved my point in the slightest.
If im going ti S africa to visit better to go to joburg? Im a mauritian black please advice i may go. In dec
Thank you for your honesty.
Hi Sibu, it has been 5 years since you put out this video. This video has transformed my life. Can you kindly please put out a follow up or reflection video on this? It would really capture the essence of all you mention in the video! Thank you in advance, much love.
Thank you for making this video and blessing my life 😍
It's all true shame what you say about Cape Town - Sad but true🙈🙈🙈 Still love Cape Town though; it's become like my second home🙂
Okay Sbu...this video surprised me profoundly!! Yet Again I haven't been to Cape Town as in live Ever!! So your review about Jozi surprised me...or maybe I've been just ignorant.
I am so glad there is no sewerage pouring out of the pavements in Cape Town, like one experiences in Johannesburg, oh! By the way, all restaurants accept all races in Cape Town, in case you missed that!!
hi bro great video just got a new sub. from Barbados 🇧🇧🇧🇧
lol the last point killed me
"the further you got out the circle the darker people get" LMAO
can you just elaborate on how crazy the hobos in cape town are , theyre like CRAZY crazy
Thanks for addressing the racial difference between the two cities. Just don't let white people dominate South Africa/Africa. That fact that you said the white people are nicer in Joburg than CT tells me Cape Town is more racist and the structure of things has a lot to do with race. White people are natural born conquerors and they show their true colors when they don't have to be nice. White people are all about looking out for their people/white first above anything else/equality. This means they will build business in CT, hire only white people for important $$$ position and hire black people for slave labor, while trying not to look racist by employing blacks. I saw the Tariq Nasheed video on South Africa truth. BLACK PEOPLE, you can't let white people dominate AFRICA as a whole, they already dominate the rest of the world. When will you get tired of being treated like second class citizen and less than equal around the world and even in your own countries???!!! I'm tell you black people, Julius Malema
is your only hope in South Africa in the long run. He is willing to fight racism and actually do something about it. He is the racist white man's worst nightmare in SA.
I agree and thats what i was thinking apparently in Cape town the municipality there controls how many black people are allowed to buy property there in cape town no matter the financial position. They have turned south african heritage day to braai day because they don't have any culture besides conolzing
First of all Cape Town is not the whitest city.Pretoria is.Just keep that in mind
i'm trying to plan a honeymoon and i'm not sure which place to visit...help!? We enjoy seeing a country for how it is but with some comfort and of course safety
This is interesting to me. I'm white and from Cape Town and don't really know too much about Joburg. My main interaction with a black person is my cleaning lady who is actually Zimbabwean. She is amazing. I have one black friend but whenever something goes wrong she thinks it has something to do with the colour of her skin but it's really not. It seems like the pain and poverty is somehow inside some South African people of colour, whereas, Zimbabwean's aren't affected by it internally. I just wish it could all be managed differently. I probably could quite easily marry a black man... provided he knew the Lord.
Claire Marshel you sound like an annoying person and I hope your black "friend" stays away from you. Hopefully no black man marries you and procreates with you because those children would probably be lost.
Don't mind the above hater. Your answer was lit
Claire Marshel are you beautiful? we can negotiate a wedding
If that person really is your friend. You wouldn't just discount her feelings about things happening to her.
Thanks for your real answer Claire... I think if more of us speak and learn openmindedly things will get better... on the other hand I wish there was a way we could have a internet without the hater and people like that below.
it's true.born in ct.the whites are more uptight there.the further north you go they more open to others
FACTS!!!! From Cape Town
i love your accent
Lol "the white people in jhb are much for more nicer than white people in cpt" 😂.
Rubbish!
Its true
You hot mama, holla at me real quick
Cape Town Whites got superiority complex.
The white people in Cape Town think they are better.
Morning!
Happy VEDIM kids 💛
Sibu MpanzaSA hello
cool man
You right
Great Video, Your presentation was quick and eye opening. All the best!!
Is JHB faster then CT?
3-10 times faster
Yea
johan looks super huge and cape town looks really nice and advanced esp for africa.
soo true!
soo accurate
Metrorail is a train smash LOL
Leslie Javan Gautrain you mean? It's the fastest train in Africa.
Whites aren't in the middle.They are mostly in the western parts of Cape Town.Once you go more to the east the darker the people get.
Joburg is life
Li have definitely made my decision now joburg here I come
Cheers from Brazil
Cool show.Please do more eps.
SO TRUE ABOUT CAPE TOWN THOU!!
is joburg the same s johanusbug
jasmin poudlard Lawl Yes Jo’burg is short for Johannesburg.
Broooooo your vids are amazing
this is true
The streets in Jozi are suuuuper dirty... I mean... unless u are in Sandton 🙄🙄
come to CT, its mostly clean because it has to look nice for the tourists
But Sandton still has potholes and broken roads and grass is not cut on the sides trees branches are over lapping into the road, I guess I expected more from Jhb since media overhyped it
You are so funny! I love this
Cape Town feels like an international city. joburg feels like the car jacking capital of the world.
cape town is a murder capital of the world. let that sink in
Typical Cape delusions of grandeur. Cape Town is a murder capital of SA
Here from the UK
Did he just say gautrain is affordable? 😂😂😂😂😂
Like who's disliking these videos, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
Capetownians obviously
