Your guys are exceptional. Really enjoy how you project the country. The media in South Africa is owned by white owned multinationals whose sole purpose is to discourage investors from coming to the country while they continue milking the country of all its resources. They don't want to be disturbed. We appreciate AA for coming now Black South Africans and AAs need to partner to wrestle the economy away from them folk
@TheYarbros Thank you! For the record, it's a new development, and it has a generator along with load shedding lamps in my unit. I'm glad you all are enjoying South Africa! I thought Mexico had both of your hearts in a safe.
First of all there were no slaves who were taken from south africa to America. Me I think all this Americans thinking that that belong here is crazy because of culture. but what can I say no DNA just RSA🇿🇦😊
the reason why many malls & shops close early is not because of crime, but rather because many of the workers live outside the cites or far away from the workplace & have to travel long distances to get home. it's the one of those still remaining legacies of the 'apartheid spatial development' where black people/working class were "bussed in & bussed out" of the city to townships after work and it's one of the reasons why you'll now see a lot of these 'informal settlements(shacks)' near developed areas which are filled with the people who work in the city because it's much more cheaper to live there than to travel 1 or 2 hours everyday to work from the townships.
@@TheYarbros We also just don’t have a culture of working till you drop, we like to go home and be with family, plus our labour laws are very tight, you pay time and half or even double to make people work beyond the normal 8hr day. Sadly, the unscrupulous businesses then choose to hire illegal immigrants so they can pay them a quarter of the minimum wage.
Nice perspective, the business don't necessarily close early for safety, but family and social life matters ( work life balance situation). The only 24hr service you always require 24hrs is a hospital ( emergency services ) and police ( safety ). Beyond that family matters & time is precious.
Yessssssss I've been to both East and West coast, but I yet to visit SA. I hear they know us and understands our struggles and successes and they love us. You don't get that from the East and West coast of Africa, truth be told.
We do indeed know everything about all your struggles and triumphs, past and present. We have also had many of your superstars perform here to sold out stadiums. You might be aware maybe that Chris Brown tickets sold out in no time, despite huge noise from foreign NGO-led woman’s rights groups. Back in the 80s or 90s our national broadcaster showed the Roots series on TV. We could relate, even though our colonisers had not been as brutal, but it showed us just how long these people have been doing this to us as a people. We cried for you during the Tr-ump presidency when so many were being wantonly unalived, even had a march. Black Americans looked at me funny in the Us when I dared to suggest that they would be better off if there was a way to move them to my country. I soon understood that their notion of an African person is based on the Nigerians who are the Africans they encounter the most in the US. Anyway, glad you’re enjoying or enjoyed your time here. We have similar problems. As America goes so goes South Africa, because our countries are managed by the same global oligarchs. We just have population numbers on our side, and our spirit of ubuntu and resilience.
South Africans and African Americans share a deep and painful history of slavery and oppression. We have both faced discrimination, inequality, and injustice at the hands of our oppressors. Despite the hardships we have endured, we understand each other's pain and struggles, and we stand in solidarity with one another. We have experienced being looked down upon by immigrants who come to our countries and take away our rights by accepting below minimum wages. This puts us in a position where we cannot stand our ground and demand equal pay for the work that we do. However, we remain resilient and determined to fight for our rights and to demand fair treatment. One thing that unites us is our love for dancing and music. We find solace and joy in our cultural expressions, and it brings us together as a community. We are welcoming people who believe in unity and standing together in solidarity. Despite the challenges we have faced, we have the strength to overcome and rise above the injustices that have been inflicted upon us. Let us continue to support one another, to stand up for our rights, and to work towards a more just and equitable society for all. Together, we can create a better future for ourselves and for future generations.
So you don't get love from East Coast? Where exactly because 100% Kenyans are very hospitable and the AA's who are here don't wanna leave. Don't tell lies just because you came to Africa with a preconceived notion. I will agree with you though on the point of sharing similarities with South Africans about segregation, discrimination and race relations in general and its impact on the socio-economic outlook. The two AA's and SAns can empathise on many aspects
Americans were shocked when I went there in July and told them it’s Winter back home. They were like “Helll no, I thought Africa is always hot”. I was just laughing and showed them pictures of me snowboarding in Lesotho. They were blown away and thanked me for showing them that side of Africa.
Glad you made it to Johannesburg. The vibe is everything in Joburg. I've been to South Africa, and loved it. As a Black Puertorican male born, and raised in the USA, I felt at HOME. in South Africa. I felt FREE, and accepted. A Freedom, and Peace I don't have in the USA. Thanks for sharing your journey to South Africa.😊
I GRADULATE YOU AND APPLAUD YOUR TRUTH AND LOVE OF OUR PEOPLE.. WE [LOVE] Puerto Rican's; FOOD AND WOMEN.. We of COLOR KNOW who broke Us up and divided US..
I loved Joburg. I've visited twice. I did not experience any criminal activity. I know that it goes on, but I was primarily in Sandton and in the suburbs around the City. I loved Mandela Square and Sandton Mall area. The restaurants served the best food I have ever had. I didn't make it to Maboney. Loved shopping in the many different malls. The homes there are beautiful!
I'm from Eastern Cape province and my home language is isiXhosa. Thank you so much my dear Black American brethren for coming over with such an enthusiastic vibe and being willing to tell us a positive story about us. God bless you guys and have a fantastic adventure. Peace.
Shops don’t close early because of crime. It’s because the workers live far from the CBD, malls etc. They need to travel back home to have some time at home with their families, which are often an hour away or more.
It’s also due to the previous regime town planning. Black people were placed far from economic hubs. Townships were meant to be dormitories/ concentration camps. Hence they were placed far from city centres. An effort to exclude and invisiblize bkack people. Similar to what Argentina and Australia did to their black people. Our leaders fought back! The Sobukwes, the Or Tambos, the Steve Biko’s, hence they were unalived quickly.
I think SABC and Newsroom Africa must take both of you to present news here in SA , you are professional presenters, you know how to tell the story, excellent observations, just in a short space of time you are here, you came with tangible story truth,❤️🇿🇦🙏
Thank you so much for a balanced view of Joburg, Cape Town and South Africa in general. It's always such a breath of fresh air to see ourselves through the Black Americans eyes. Thank you so much. Please do come back. We appreciate you, we value. And we thank you for carrying us through the darker years of apartheid. 🇿🇦🇺🇸
Wow! This video is so accurate and captured my experiences of Jozi and Cape Town. As Chicagoan, I felt like Jozi was a larger, slightly warmer version of the positive vibes of Englewood, Chatham, Great Grand Crossing- beautiful black people smiling and showing love!
Heading to Cape town in the spring. Flying to Joburg after a week in Cape town. But no time there, being picked up by an outfitter and heading to a hunting Safari. So excited for this adventure of a lifetime
Im calling it now. Forget Cape Town. Youre moving to Durban. Check into either The Capital Pearl's or Umhlanga Arch Penthouse Suites. Durban got the best weather, best beaches, authentic culture and truth be told, best woman. You will thank me later.
Cape Town is like a mini Europe in Africa. You will see it when you get there. 😂😅 Also check the seasons and weather before you come. We are currently in Spring in November. In December our Summer starts.
Great vlog! I’ve been following you both for a while and was really hoping you’d make it to Johannesburg-so happy to see you finally here and enjoying it!❤
We're from Texas. We've been here multiple times, and this last time we've been here for over a year. Spring is just beginning, and winter just finished. The weather is opposite here, just as it is at the most southern part of South America. I hope you'll have a good time. Please be mindful and don't get it twisted out here. You have to be here for a while to see what it truly is.
@KoolE23 What I mean is we as travelers are ignorant about places until we're able to see what's really going on. Yes, the media drastically inflates crime, but there are major crimes here. We need to always proceed with caution until we really know what's going on. We came the first time for 6 months, we were oblivious to many of the crimes that happen that aren't mainstream.
I really enjoyed the tour,the information...beautiful place.Seems like people there are primarily "well-rounded".It all speaks for itself.Blessings evermore.✨JOY✨
Thank you guys for the most unbiased review of our country, I'm saying this cos we've been receiving negative/bias reviews & comments from most of our african visitors who hav found home away from their home in South Africa: Much love from Mzansi 🇿🇦
@ True, because they did it for centuries, at the expense of and to keep others dow, till it became ridiculous. My statement means something totally different from a yte person would be saying. You know this very well.
Thank you for this content. I'm enjoying seeing my country, my city (although I'm originally from Cape Town) through new and African American eyes....love it...
Another very well produced Vlog covering this incredible beautiful country andpeople called South Africa. From the little I know Black American culture has been celebrated in South Africa for a many decades (as far back as the fifties if nor further back) yet they have also managed to maintain their own culture and identity. Yes Black Americans are celebrated and very much appreciated in South Africa but its only recenlty that this reknowned community has started visiting in larger numbers. I cannot wait to be regaled again with your next quality South African vlog!!!! Watching from Malawi......
Your next stop should be Nairobi, Kenya. It would probably give Jozi, Atlanta vibes as well but it is not a sprawling city like Jozi. Most of the city dwellers live within the urban core. Plenty of AirBnB's, highrises, restaurants, night clubs and lounges, hustle and bustle and 100% melanated. Worth checking it out.
@@universalsourcecode Really glad you got something out of our presentation. We don't want to make it difficult to find us. Here is our link for ☕: buymeacoffee/theyarbros.com Blessings 🙏🏾 and thanks for cruising our content!
you probably noticed South Africa is big already, the snow thing is not a new thing, there are places that get snow almost every year in South Africa in eastern cape and western cape. It just does not happen much on the KZN and Jozi side. God chose to bless them this year 🤣🤣🤣 and if you saw the video i don't God will bless them again 🤣🤣🤣 they just went crazy
This video is professionally done. When I was a child I used to admire black Americans. I had a far fetched dream. I wished that black Americans could all return to help build Africa because I saw them having the skills to do so. Our fellow african brothers are trying, some are ruining the continent. I still dream that blacks all over the world can unite to build this continent. Thanks to the Caucasian brothers and sisters who have made Africa their home for taking care of the mother land. Africa is the heart of the world. Africa is the Mother of the world. The provider and naturer. Africa should be taken cared of and not exploited. Narratives are changing, I love that.
Another reason why I reckon most businesses close as early as they do is 1. how serious we take labour laws and 2. prioritising rest for employees. We work overtime when its required, but people don''t chase it.
I love getting other nationalities perception on South Africa. With blacks being a minority in America it was even more interesting to get a black American take on Jozi.
I resonate with you, fam, sub +1. Your authenticity and energy is top tier. Your work ethic is out of this world. It felt like im watching a Hollywood documentary. Fam ❤
I give this review a 10/10, you guys are amazing...i love it. ❤👏🏽 Great observation: Joburgers(and people in Gauteng Province in general) are definitely bolder and louder than our lovely Capetonians. We love our Mother city-Cape Town, but honestly it feels more European than African. I would choose Joburg/Pretoria all day-erriday and maybe retire in Cape Town,lol
In my 33 years of life, I've witnessed or been victim of violent crime exactly 0 times. Not saying crime isn't a problem...just saying it mostly affects lower income communities which is obviously a different type of issue. It's 30 years since the fall of the apartheid regime and life here has not changed that much. I very rarely encounter racism, but the systemic issues still are very very real. Money has a funny way of making these issues dissapear and your chances of having money increases quite a lot if you are white. The great thing is things are exponentially getting better. 2030-ish onward should be a great era for us with regard to progress and equality.
South africans dont have beef with african Americans . i was actually shocked to learn that other afican nationals and black Americans had issues and back and forth . we love you guys here :)
Good video! I can't imagine where y'all are going next. I miss the Mexico videos though. That's what got me watching, y'all. I'll guess your next location may be somewhere cold.
I was waiting for this one!! And I knew ya'll would show it well and tell it like it really is (thanks for showing Maboneng!). Joburg really sounds like Chicago, just bigger and not as segregated. I guess I don't have to ask: Would you live in Joburg or Capetown? 🤣
Welcome to my city Jozi and I believe you will have a great time just hope you connect with the real people of Jozi and Visit Soweto or any other Townships like Alex,Thembisa or Katlehong
Mr. & Mrs. Y Y’all have been just about all over South America Now South Africa and it’s been so awesome watching your worldly journey! It’s obvious SA is on Top of Your Relocate List! Any plans to check other cities in SA and other countries like Nairobi, Kenya, Tanzania, etc? I’d Love 💛 to see where you both would love 💛 to Settle? Blessings 🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏿💯🌟💎🔥
🌍🙏🏿 We’re loving South Africa more than we expected and definitely plan to visit one or two other cities here. And yes, Kenya is definitely on our list, along with a few other countries we hope to visit while we’re here!
It's blacker, bigger and has a lot more hustle to it but Cape Town is still calling us with it's seaside restaurants and slower pace it's stiff competition but Cape has a slight edge for now.
Cape Town is much more European and more cleaner, safer, organised. Joburg is more accommodating, not exclusive. Smaller version of NYC. Joburg is bigger than CPT and the economy is more accommodating. Both cities have great quality properties. SA In general has amazing options when it comes to properties. They’re all great quality. Infrastructure is the same in both cities. CPT is more scenic and more relaxed.
8:01, I think you landed in Canada, the plane just missed the airport by a few thousands miles... And also in Quebec, malls and stores close early, except thursday and friday, they close at 5pm...
That's so interesting especially in a capitalist country. Down in Cape Town they're open till 9. I wonder what it's like throughout the rest of the country...
It's not just the media that put South Africa in a bad light. A lot of South Africans are so self critical that they end up spooking foreigners. Although our country has it's problems(many of them), we play a huge part in convincing the world that it is a hell hole that people should avoid. I've had African people who have never set foot in South Africa telling me howhorrific my country is, based on what they have been told, by South Africans. And we also do very little to highlight what's great about our prople and home. I'm always watching videos of Western black people who come here and are so taken aback

Can not wait!
@@terrilyndenne2810Welcome in advance 🎉
I'm Black American and I got a lot of love for South Africa! I just purchased a new apartment in Rosebank for an investment property.
That seems like a wise investment now especially with load shedding being put to bed...for now.
@TheYarbros Thank you! For the record, it's a new development, and it has a generator along with load shedding lamps in my unit. I'm glad you all are enjoying South Africa! I thought Mexico had both of your hearts in a safe.

First of all there were no slaves who were taken from south africa to America.

@@LightWEIGHT-123weird statement
the reason why many malls & shops close early is not because of crime, but rather because many of the workers live outside the cites or far away from the workplace & have to travel long distances to get home. it's the one of those still remaining legacies of the 'apartheid spatial development' where black people/working class were "bussed in & bussed out" of the city to townships after work and it's one of the reasons why you'll now see a lot of these 'informal settlements(shacks)' near developed areas which are filled with the people who work in the city because it's much more cheaper to live there than to travel 1 or 2 hours everyday to work from the townships.

It’s good to see black Americans documenting their travels in Africa and changing the narrative 🖤
Nice perspective, the business don't necessarily close early for safety, but family and social life matters ( work life balance situation). The only 24hr service you always require 24hrs is a hospital ( emergency services ) and police ( safety ). Beyond that family matters & time is precious.
I was just about to clarify this too. They don't close early for safety but for family.
Okay, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Yarbros for taking us on a real ride through Johannesburg!! Love the video
Our pleasure! Gald you enjoyed it!
It's beautiful in Joburg my Joburg. The best place to be a successful African woman. Welcomed ❤
True. If there was ever a city in the world (outside North America & Brazil) where black wealth was concentrated, that city would be Johannesburg.
you probably noticed South Africa is big already, the snow thing is not a new thing, there are places that get snow almost every year in South Africa in eastern cape and western cape. It just does not happen much on the KZN and Jozi side. God chose to bless them this year 🤣🤣🤣 and if you saw the video i don't God will bless them again 🤣🤣🤣 they just went crazy
lol yeah I think they feel like they were blessed enough.
Friendly, Approachable and Bold! love that
Will be there in about 6 weeks!!!!
Your videography if out of this world
it's giving TV production
Joburg is literally Black power, we frequently have power outage (blackout).
Lol oh you reached for that one! Thankfully there hasn't been an official outrage since we've been here!
@@TheYarbrosGood response.
😂😂😂
@@TheYarbros 🤣🤣 the Blackout part..It has been months since i experienced blackouts in SA
This video is professionally done. When I was a child I used to admire black Americans. I had a far fetched dream. I wished that black Americans could all return to help build Africa because I saw them having the skills to do so. Our fellow african brothers are trying, some are ruining the continent. I still dream that blacks all over the world can unite to build this continent. Thanks to the Caucasian brothers and sisters who have made Africa their home for taking care of the mother land. Africa is the heart of the world. Africa is the Mother of the world. The provider and naturer. Africa should be taken cared of and not exploited. Narratives are changing, I love that.
Thank you guys, please come again
I love this for us❤️I just love my people ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Accurate title! Whenever I’m in CPT I say the same thing about Joburg!
This feels like a COOL documentary
You should drive to the slow sides of Johannesburg like the Midrand and Centurion area... Beautiful homes and estates 🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to Jozi
Thanks we'll check it out!
Beautiful video ❤
Thank you!
Another reason why I reckon most businesses close as early as they do is 1. how serious we take labour laws and 2. prioritising rest for employees. We work overtime when its required, but people don''t chase it.
Yes, that's what the people are saying. I think there's more to it ..maybe we'll do a deep dive and see what we find.
I love getting other nationalities perception on South Africa. With blacks being a minority in America it was even more interesting to get a black American take on Jozi.
Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog! Such a positive perspective, makes me proud to be South African. 🤩
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the positive feedback. Our country doesn't get that a lot❤
Please excuse me , i had to answer . I voted 'Yes ' against apartheid !!!! , And so did by far of us all ! Respect !❤
I Loved your video its really different from what ive seen with other youtubers posting about SA
I resonate with you, fam, sub +1. Your authenticity and energy is top tier.
Your work ethic is out of this world. It felt like im watching a Hollywood documentary.
Fam ❤
I give this review a 10/10, you guys are amazing...i love it. ❤👏🏽
Great observation: Joburgers(and people in Gauteng Province in general) are definitely bolder and louder than our lovely Capetonians. We love our Mother city-Cape Town, but honestly it feels more European than African. I would choose Joburg/Pretoria all day-erriday and maybe retire in Cape Town,lol
Thanks for watching and talking to us. We like both cities and can't wait to explore some more of SA!
In my 33 years of life, I've witnessed or been victim of violent crime exactly 0 times.
Not saying crime isn't a problem...just saying it mostly affects lower income communities which is obviously a different type of issue. It's 30 years since the fall of the apartheid regime and life here has not changed that much. I very rarely encounter racism, but the systemic issues still are very very real. Money has a funny way of making these issues dissapear and your chances of having money increases quite a lot if you are white. The great thing is things are exponentially getting better. 2030-ish onward should be a great era for us with regard to progress and equality.
Got to get there, I have relatives over there.
Heyy! It's definitely an awesome adventure waiting for you.
Great video guys!
Glad you enjoyed the ride!
South africans dont have beef with african Americans . i was actually shocked to learn that other afican nationals and black Americans had issues and back and forth . we love you guys here :)
Joburg is the most socially advanced area in South Africa
-and we appreciate it!
the energy is Lit. welcome home
Looks like you really enjoyed your beer here boet 💪. Lovely video on big bad jozi.
Good video! I can't imagine where y'all are going next. I miss the Mexico videos though. That's what got me watching, y'all. I'll guess your next location may be somewhere cold.
We're chasing some big stories around the continent...
I would agree very New York hustle meets ATL culturally
👍🏾
Great now, go to Lenasia and Soweto.
Nice video! My wife knows this is my dream trip. I'm really hoping we can visit next year. Thanks!😁😁😁😁
I hope we make some inspirational content for you!
You guys are beautiful, thank you for stopping by in SA.I follow your channel, keep up the good work
I was waiting for this one!! And I knew ya'll would show it well and tell it like it really is (thanks for showing Maboneng!). Joburg really sounds like Chicago, just bigger and not as segregated. I guess I don't have to ask: Would you live in Joburg or Capetown? 🤣
Really enjoying the people and the city! It feels like several cities rolled into one. Joburg country lol
We love y'all !!! ❤❤❤
Live you right back!
Welcome to my city Jozi and I believe you will have a great time just hope you connect with the real people of Jozi and Visit Soweto or any other Townships like Alex,Thembisa or Katlehong
Yes, of course. We've connected with a couple of locals but haven't made any friends yet....looking forward to it!
@ Sweet don’t only visit the tourism area
Do NOT visit Alex.
You are spot on about Cape Town. I have lived and studied there for 8 years. But it's still not my favorite city.
Mr. & Mrs. Y Y’all have been just about all over South America Now South Africa and it’s been so awesome watching your worldly journey! It’s obvious SA is on Top of Your Relocate List! Any plans to check other cities in SA and other countries like Nairobi, Kenya, Tanzania, etc? I’d Love 💛 to see where you both would love 💛 to Settle? Blessings 🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏿💯🌟💎🔥
🌍🙏🏿 We’re loving South Africa more than we expected and definitely plan to visit one or two other cities here. And yes, Kenya is definitely on our list, along with a few other countries we hope to visit while we’re here!
Wow! So many nuances here - love it!!! The bathtubs, food, culture, friendly people…. Is this a rival to Cape Town for a place to live for you? 🥰
It's blacker, bigger and has a lot more hustle to it but Cape Town is still calling us with it's seaside restaurants and slower pace it's stiff competition but Cape has a slight edge for now.
Cape Town is much more European and more cleaner, safer, organised. Joburg is more accommodating, not exclusive. Smaller version of NYC. Joburg is bigger than CPT and the economy is more accommodating. Both cities have great quality properties. SA In general has amazing options when it comes to properties. They’re all great quality. Infrastructure is the same in both cities. CPT is more scenic and more relaxed.
8:01, I think you landed in Canada, the plane just missed the airport by a few thousands miles... And also in Quebec, malls and stores close early, except thursday and friday, they close at 5pm...
That's so interesting especially in a capitalist country. Down in Cape Town they're open till 9. I wonder what it's like throughout the rest of the country...
Hope you visit Pretoria, a bit calm i must say
Another great video!
Thank you! ♥️🤗
Hi i suggest you explore Rosebank area and Fourways farmers market in Joburg. You'll love it...
LoL, we were just looking at those markets! 😂
I am in Jozi for my studies, and I have not seen this town like this
I luv this video. Keep it up fam. I'm currently looking between Pretoria and Joberg (from cali). Maybe both👍🏾✊🏾👑
We like that area too very suburban and chill.
When are you visiting the Garden Route
It's not just the media that put South Africa in a bad light. A lot of South Africans are so self critical that they end up spooking foreigners. Although our country has it's problems(many of them), we play a huge part in convincing the world that it is a hell hole that people should avoid. I've had African people who have never set foot in South Africa telling me howhorrific my country is, based on what they have been told, by South Africans. And we also do very little to highlight what's great about our prople and home. I'm always watching videos of Western black people who come here and are so taken aback
