How to SURVIVE living in South Africa as a foreigner 

Because they're a bunch of woosies! S.A. is an amazing country, with some of the most awesome people, brave strong characters, grown from the harshness, of begotten days; All peoples of S.A. in my opinion are the best. I'll take it over any western Country, any day! I never felt more secure and loved than when I lived there; 25 years of awesomeness; Jhb, Durban, and Cape Town, each with it's different environments,, I would live in any=one of these fine places again, in a heart=beat!

@@hopeodyssey CPT all the way 🌊❤️

@Teboho Moloi no we dont...we know its worse...

@@hopeodyssey so true. People around the world dont understand this beautiful country.. No place like my homeland.

I think Afghanistan might be safer bru..

Exactly

If you are white, don't go to these cities Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town (Stellenbosch is ok), anywhere in the KwaZulu-Natal, and there are some others Here are the cities/towns you should not go to if you are black Orania, Bloemfontein

@Rangle I am brown

@@Iwillmakeitoutofhere then you shouldn't go to the KwaZulu-Natal, everywhere else is sort of fine

Yeah actually it's just South Africa.

@@sramz2379 Zimbabwe has

South Africa Mozambique Malawi Zimbabwe Zambia Basically majority of Africa only

Dominique Christina hmmm I see a pattern here ..I wonder what it is 🤔

Plenty of countries are unsafe, VERY FEW countries used to be perfectly safe and then become so unsafe that everyone has to wall themselves off from the street.

The difference is that that there used to be 'safe neighborhoods' in South Africa, as their is outside of the Baltimore ghettos. There are no more 'safe neighborhoods' in South Africa, even though there used to be - as he says, EVERY HOUSE is walled off from the street, usually with live wiring above.

@@Mike-fj2ln My house isn't walled off, but I live in the northern suburbs of Cape Town

@@luckystriker7489 It's as bad as they say, I want to move to South Africa.

When you live in a decent neighborhood but your frikken electricity cable KEEEPS GETTING STOLEN!!!!!!!

You are right,the best thing going to a township for a visit is to have a friend who lives there,and once people in his area knows you,you will be fine.

@@hallodanel1456 exactly

dude same

So true bru

Yeah republic of CT

Better not to go without bodyguards

projects are more like rdp's, townships is more like the ghetto

@@ignyification Whatever. you get the point.

Townships cannot compare to the projects in America, no comparison. The project apartment would be luxury compared to Townships.

lol....if you say so

@@BronzeSista lol go to the Cape flats and see how long you last there

Are there robberies in umhlanga or is the security good?

@@mccarey5932 The security is very good, there is a few isolated incidents though.

Excellent, our influence spreads

That's right our local Portuguese fruit and veg shop used to serve fish and chips back in Elandsfontein. It will always be chips , non of your Mc Donald's french fries . The Fish hook in Hillbrow in Johannesburg used be a form of old English fish and chips . Great memories.

LOL! I also cringed at that. FFS

I love Kotas. Shop close to my office sells some great kotas

Mogodu & haggis are two very completely different dishes. They are only alike cause they are both made using the insides of an animal. That's like saying steak and stew are the same things. They both use meets that's where the similarities end.

My bad, I should have said tripe is a common ingredient. Recipe may differ, it's still tripe.

@@tumedisobree3811 Depends on where you live. If you are far away in a remote area - like Pofadder or similar places, yes, you will know nothing of this. This is happening.

Where or in what part do you live? Do you know what's going on around you?

@@nicky3748 Free State

@@tumedisobree3811 Lovely place, but maybe that's why you don't know about what happens in the big cities. I am from a tiny village - originally - and when I went to the city - in the late 80s - I was like WOW - never knew about certain things too.

100%

Listen here poes lips.. We are the problem.. Dont be scared say non blacks. You right we have a long way to go for black south africans to come right in the kop..we are were we beacuse you keep a pathetic excuse for a political party in power.. Dont tell us we need to be open minded .you need come right jy!!

Look at how young you look as well. Grow up and learn more before talking nonsesne

@@godsbabeborn-again5945 ai you guys are really something else

Ya bru..dont know where this okie went

I can guarantee that you are mistaken. The food that he has mentioned is consumed in your province and city. Likely, more than the food that you've mentioned. That you consume in your community. Which represents the smallest minority. You may just have a narrow view of reality. Liberate yourself. Go and discover your home.

Anything is possible but there is a huge mixed population here heavily influenced by the Malay community when it comes to food. All I’m saying is that he missed out on a rich and interesting heritage when he was in South Africa.

@@deirdrelewis1454 Your initial comment and what you are saying now are very far apart. Of the 4 million people in the metro the cape malay make up less than 200k. At this point I don't think I should go on.

Xhosa people in Cape Town do eat that food. We don't make Afrikaans and Malay food. Sheep head, pap, chicken feet and etc we eat it. We buy it in Cape Town. Except for Kota.

Ofcause it is, Very tribal ! . Greatly .that culture copied alot of Nguni tribes ways and philosophy , you need to have skilled eyes and intuition to see that .

Lol! First 🤥🤥🤥🤥

Yess first official!* I’m a South African I know my culture and history !!* Yeah maybe it wasn’t the first language ever in South Africa But it was the first language to be used and recognized all over!!* Zulu is the most spoken and recognized now !* And Afrikaans isn’t a tribal language!!* It is a culture yes But Afrikaans people don’t live in tribes!* The way zulu ,xhosa venda and so on and so forth life So you can’t say that it is a tribal language

A tribe. A notional form of human social organization based on a set of smaller groups (known as bands), having temporary or permanent political integration, and defined by traditions of common descent, language, culture, and ideology. Afrikaans is a tribe and a tribal language. Unless you're saying Afrikaaners are not human. 🤷‍♂️

@@biancabooyens3408 What's your definition of tribe? Just because there's a keyboard next to you it doesn't mean just type type type.

huh 🤨 lots of people eat them

@@lethabo713 no 😂😂😂🤢

@@brospubg how come you've not seen this? Where do you live? 🤭🤭

Lots of people in a big country you never know truley what the next person eats..

Where do you live? Sounds great.

You have to be street smart also

I've been robbed twice in one month. Unless you spend money on security it could happen frequently and it's not just about robbing you, most robberies happen purely to do you harm, especially if you're a farmer. Tied to pole, forced to watch as wife and kids get raped. Acid thrown down your throat. Torture goes hand in hand with these robberies and our government will do everything to avoid people hearing about it, especially tourists and investors. Ask Justin Bieber, he got robbed twice too. We're governed by a crime syndicate. 😕

@@kabelomakokoane9843 yeepp...Kota is so so unhealthy

Really??? In Durban everything is mono test, so spicy that you can't say if you are eating mutton or chicken, better in Johannesburg, anyway a bunny chow cost over 40 bucks a kota is about 15 rand and they are completely different. Durban food really, really sucks. If you want to eat the best indian food (indian is just a way to say, really indian food is another level) go to Razia in Springs, Gauteng.

@@underratedjamslyrics4731 you are unhealthy.

No no no Kota is tasty. It might be unhealthy but so is every other fast food

Its actually tge least common crime in SA, i think someone has been feeding him horror stories.

Glad to hear you have never experienced this. I have multiple times, where ppl go up and down the traffic sitting at a standstill in rush hour, so you have nowhere to go and can't avoid it, and watch ppl going from car to car smashing windows and stealing jewellery off yr body, cellphones, handbags, jackets. A trip home and to work everyday was absolutely traumatising as there are folks trying to sell you things at every robot. So you never know when you are going to be targeted again. My travel was 2 hrs to work and again in the evening. 4 hrs a day of paranoia and PTSD. Just an everyday, every moment risk you take....

@@lornalong6468 sorry to hear that I have never experienced it but I guess there are probably hotspots where these things happen more often then other places. I hope you heal with time 🙏 . I'm also lucky that I am a man I'm probably less likely to be targeted. Take care ❤
