Interesting video, but the water in South Africa and especially Cape Town is of great quality and there is definitely no need to buy bottled water for drinking. Super Spar is also not a cheap shop and it is possible to buy for much cheaper. If you rent outside of the city centre you should be able to get a place for about half the price.
I just wanted to say that I found our channel for the first time today and I love it! I am considering several different options for places to move after my Master's (San Diego, Auckland, Melbourne, Barcelona, etc.) and your videos are really helping me! Thank you so much from a Canadian student! :D
You are Canadian so I don’t know what your standards might be in terms of how well you tolerate being bored. I wouldn’t live (though I definitely recommend visiting) Auckland and San Diego. Both struck me as being limited culturally compared to Barcelona or Cape Town. All these cities strike me as pricey though.
My house is in Durbanville ( northern suburb ) . I think the location is good . Almost Halfway between major tourist attractions . Table mountain and the beaches on the one side and the winelands on the other side .
**Correction** 1. Water in South Africa as a whole, no matter where you are, or to be fair, with 90% of the population, its of great quality, very few people buy that much water dude.. 2. Transport is quit cheap, myciti IS NOT THE ONLY PUBLIC TRANSPORT, you get taxis ( 15 seater ) and uber/other-one also, we also have trains by the way that go in between the towns. 3. You do not need to take a monthly subscriptoin for VIRGIN ACTIVE, you can simply make it a month to month which is about R 800/month which is about $43 per month. 4. The areas to live in are for he super rich and has a lot of hotels in there, like in camps bay a bachelour apartment would cost around R 5 million to buy, which is about $ 27 1507.65. Also, the guy who said it depends on your age group was spot on.. You would get good deals on AirBnB for a holiday and that R 40k per month is alright if you do not have any debts! Otherwise its a beatiful city, be as safe as you can be like you are in any other developed countries, I've been here for more than 10 years, from the eastern cape..
@@Audrey-faithlife Oh nice, all the best, that is on th other side of the country but on the south coast, about 1000km from cape town though in another province. Really nice coastal views, close to my home town of Gcuwa. You will love it, lots of nice trails and cliffs.
I have been living in a suburb (southern suburbs) of Cape Town since 1978 and my income is much less than R40,000 - but I bought the flat. Public transport is bad & MiCiti buses do not run on this side; I get a small SASSA old-age pension & family may help me now and then
@@keithsteeman5039 thanks man,i think it would be the best place gor a starter like me to stay atleast for now and please, is it a safe place?And again,how do a foreigner get to acquire a resident permit?

I used to live in Cape Town in Sea Point at the beach road area and was really amazing. Quit expensive, but was good in terms of security, organization, all things around you. If I can do again I’ll do it . Much love ❤️ of this city Cape Town
Thanks for the video. I work remotely with people who are situated in South Africa. This video is very informative and gives me a glimpse of how their lives might be.
I think these are not quite accurate. Blouberg and tableview you would find great accommodation at a fraction of vredehoek. Plus mycity reaches out there.R10000 could get you a 2 bedroom accommodation. The CBD is expensive.
The weather in winter is not a low of 13°. Winter 2020, May, June, July, August, saw lows of 2°. Its gets subzero in high lying areas and in other provinces
A few points: The Google population result is only the result for the city bowl. The metropolis of Cape Town is 6 Million people. The Spar you visited is in Parklands which is part of the larger metropolis and not the city bowl.
Why would you convert to USD and then continue to use a measurement system that no one in America is familiar with? No one wants to know how much 8 kg of meat costs in USD, because we would first need to know how much 8 kg is in a system of measurement that we are familiar with.
In sweden a 10 minute 5km taxi ride would cost me about 25$ at the cheapest taxi company in town😂 we don’t have uber and it is very unsafe to walking outside alone after dark. So walking like 500 meter to and from a bus isn’t an option. So those 16$ for 4 rides seems nice👍 Though R850 seems pretty expensive for the public transportation. I pay about 350kr (about 35$) for my monthly ticket in town. I pay about 20$ for haircut and for a cheap gym meberchip i pay about 30$/month
Not extremely accurate. There are cheaper alternatives. All the areas you are mentioning is quite high in prices. Go further inland for cheaper accommodation that is still safe.
The guy you interviewed did not listen properly to your questions. R40,000 is ridiculous! Very few people in Cape Town earns that. That's Camps Bay. You can comfortably live on R20,000 by shopping around.
The gentleman indicated R40,000 as a good amount to earn per month.. My investigation of prices in Cape Town show that one could live quite well on R 30,000 per month...
So are you saying for a family of 5 to live comfortably you have to earn over R 150,000 ($10,000 USD) per month? You're talking crazy. Family can live comfortably for half that in the USA were the rents, mortgage, restaurants, entertainment is far more expensive and even put money into a savings account each month! Something doesn't add up!
tap water in cape town is delicious and safe to drink anywhere , in my opinion .Bottled water is unnecessary ,costly and just adds to plastic waste unless disposed of for recycling . I am a Capetonian
Studies show that it's not but if you know that in your area it's good than you can drink it. Still I didn't feel confident to recommend drinking tap water.
all these people complaining about spar,sometimes they have good specials and their meat is better quality than pick n pay and checkers.if you want to save money cook a few meals a week and share uber with 2 or 3 people ,and if possible get a flatmate.
Cape Town used to be a highly reasonable city for what it offered. Too bad it all went down hill from 2009 in preparation for the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP which completely commercialized the local community making most entertainment and food out of reach for locals who have to watch overeas visitors stuffing themselves on $£€. Sad...🤔
' it doesn't rain in June ' is an outrageous claim ....... June Jul And August are the wettest months in Cape Town and it's not unusual to have 4 or 5 rain days in a week
You need R40k after tax to live in CT. About £2000 like in most western places. A backpacker can live on £1000 pm. Rent in an apartment or hostel is very expensive in CT. Taxi is very cheap food price is same a UK. But quality of life is higher in CT than the same life. In UK on same salary. Jobs are hard to find in CT need to bring income with you. SA is a third world and first world country what differentiates you is money. Make sure you have money in SA or you will starve like the millions already starving there.
I still think Blouberg side is the best. You don't have to be earning 40k to live in Blouberg but you can still get the best Table Mountain views, sunsets and endless beaches. You can even get 7Kpm beach appartments. You must just know where to look lols.. Camps Bay and town is overrated and Long Street is losing its touch😝... If you walk along the beach from Pakalolo all the way to Melkoboss, you'll come across hidden gems. Neighbouring areas: - Sunset Beach - Big Bay - Melkboss Great vid man! I know where that Super Spar is haha👍🏼
I am from British UK, I have visited South Africa and it took my breath away. One of the highlights was emotional visited Nelson Mandela's prison on Robben Island. I consider South Africa as a rainbow country after suffered from brutalised apartheid ever in history that will never forget from then to future new generation.
@@searezisiboge3936 see my overall comments. I went there immediately after Nelson Mandela freed in 1990s. I visited Johnnasberg (scary place ever), Cape Town my favourite place ever, Port Elizabeth - very interesting where Zulu war took place and lastly Durban - reminded me of Hawaii - beautiful trees swaying along side of the beach but the atmosphere was very bad between white South African and wealthy Asians people.
Most ppl earn a shit salary in Cape Town. I was a qualified Dental Technician in Cape Town earning a pathetic R6000 p/m. I now live in New Zealand, studied further and I'm self employed. I was basically forced to leave South Africa. I love Cape Town but the current state of it is shit. Why don't you go and interview ppl on the Cape Flats??? Another thing that pisses me off about that place is how criminals prosper over there and fuck all happens to them because of the damn corruption.

@@isaactang8881 the average income in south africa (just do a simple google search) is roughly (usd) 1500$/month,i can assure you that is definetely enough for a single person, the monthly income is actually more than all eastern european countries.

Ryan Solomon thank you. Do you know the average salary? I was offered a job, but still don’t know the salary and according to my research you can’t live in Cape Town with that!
Awesome intro, finche parli. Zio ti giuro, nn riesci cz, pure sarah l ha notato, impara la fotografia, la luce ti fa mezzo nero e mezzo bianco........... In complesso stai migliorando, ma finche fai sti errori da noob ti comprometti, peccato. E nn rompere che commento, ti pusha il video tra l altro.
Please don't tell me you were standing infront of the mosque entrance when doing that introduction and who told you our tap water is inconsistent? Next time post your sources, you have no idea what you are talking about. Dislike from me.
"The safety levels of drinking water in South Africa have dropped significantly in the last decade, and levels vary from one location to the next." That's from a a website called political analysis and they show studies from blue drop. It shouldn't matter where I did the intro. Anyways, thanks for commenting.
@@pattifilms7858 just about everyone who is not rich drinks tap water, most of SA is not rich, there would be an epidemic by now if the water was "inconsistent"
Next time perhaps post a link regarding the testing of the water quality. I don’t want to say I don’t believe you but I don’t believe you. If SA’s general water quality was “inconsistent” believe me that would be out there, there are no shortage of people (particularly a certain type of white South African) who would claim the water was better when they ran the place just like they way too often seem to think SA is just the most dangerous and corrupt place on Earth even though a simple Google search shows that isn’t remotely true.
Population of Cape Town currently is - 3 741 000 and not 433 688 ...you are out of the mark by three million three hundred and seven thousand three hundred and twelve people ... a minor mistake I guess !

@@isaactang8881 the average income in south africa (just do a simple google search) is roughly (usd) 1500$/month,i can assure you that is definetely enough for a single person, the monthly income is actually more than all eastern european countries. Czech republic is the closest at a monthly average of 1400/month usd, also considering cape town is a large city, (3.8mil residents) quiet developed too, the monthly wage could be around 2000~2500 usd.
Also i'm 17 so don't be too harsh on my little soul.(i'm sorry if there are any grammar mistakes, they are not intentional, i'm typing this on my phone) This is not an attack, so please, don't misunderstand.
@@yikes245 , you shouldn't read too much into the average income. People whose earnings are around the $1500 average are in the middle income bracket, estimated at 30% of the population. A good percentage of the population barely make $500/month
I’m George 😙

It's not showing all the sides of the city,its the same as the marketing videos,yes he is showing a true sense of the city but not all of it
@@kelebogilethebe6688 I think he did pretty good with the time on hand .He did this to help tourists. To mention everything will take ages .Yes he could have mentioned the murder rate of 60 people per day but we must try to get tourists to RSA despite the bad situation we are in
I have to agree with you my bro, majority of ppl live in shit conditions.
Yes come move here and earn less than you will spend on the strict budget you've created. Most of your numbers are correct except for clothes and gym (lol)
Ryan Solomon do you know how much people are paid in call center? Can a person live a decent life with that salary? Looking for advise. Thanks
@@IvyLur I'm afraid not. Call center workers are poorly paid as far as I know
Ryan Solomon thank you. Do you know the average salary? I was offered a job, but still don’t know the salary and according to my research you can’t live in Cape Town with that!

Awesome intro, finche parli. Zio ti giuro, nn riesci cz, pure sarah l ha notato, impara la fotografia, la luce ti fa mezzo nero e mezzo bianco........... In complesso stai migliorando, ma finche fai sti errori da noob ti comprometti, peccato. E nn rompere che commento, ti pusha il video tra l altro.
Thanks, I love you too brother.
Davide Pattibiomed come cazzo parli?
@@robertogolisano5951 grandeeee Robi ;)
Please don't tell me you were standing infront of the mosque entrance when doing that introduction and who told you our tap water is inconsistent? Next time post your sources, you have no idea what you are talking about. Dislike from me.
"The safety levels of drinking water in South Africa have dropped significantly in the last decade, and levels vary from one location to the next."
That's from a a website called political analysis and they show studies from blue drop. It shouldn't matter where I did the intro. Anyways, thanks for commenting.
@@pattifilms7858 just about everyone who is not rich drinks tap water, most of SA is not rich, there would be an epidemic by now if the water was "inconsistent"
What difference does it make where he was standing? I suppose you are one of those complaining whites
@@supersurfer1 complaining whites? What kind of stupid does one have to be to come up with such an ignorant comment?
Next time perhaps post a link regarding the testing of the water quality. I don’t want to say I don’t believe you but I don’t believe you. If SA’s general water quality was “inconsistent” believe me that would be out there, there are no shortage of people (particularly a certain type of white South African) who would claim the water was better when they ran the place just like they way too often seem to think SA is just the most dangerous and corrupt place on Earth even though a simple Google search shows that isn’t remotely true.
Population of Cape Town currently is - 3 741 000 and not 433 688 ...you are out of the mark by three million three hundred and seven thousand three hundred and twelve people ... a minor mistake I guess !
Man, I just typed in cape Town population and it came up... Probably wrong data then. Sorry about that!
@@pattifilms7858 I checked, and you are right 433k. george talks about the metro area.
You're asking a foreigner advice on local stuff towards the end of your video = FAIL
I asked him how long he's been living in cape Town and he told me 37 years... ergo: You failed.
@@pattifilms7858 that guy was an Englishman, for best results, find a Capetonian born there
Sure listen to a foreigner explain a country he isnt fimiliar with
He's an expat, this video is for other expats
