Hello guys, kindly subscribe and like the video. Thank you all.
I think you should be careful don't ask people on street about the exchange place but probably go in the any bank and ask them whether they deal with it
Lol he meant 3-5 minutes driving 😂. In any event, great exercise for you. I’m so chuffed to see you on my stomping ground! I can’t get enough of SA. It’s so vast and sooooooo full of beauty. If you’re not staying long, you’ll be back over and over to explore.
I’ll definitely be back here 💯
It has the potential to become my favourite destination.
Yeah the gent assumed you were driving
South Africa is a safe and free place but word of advice, don't walk on short cuts or where there are not a lot of people.. For accurate directions ask only the security guards..
I like your positivity on SA... It's really safe hey
Safe is not an accurate description but it is beautiful and free yes.
60 people killed per day and you call that safe country?
People love to hang around malls here , because you can take your laptop to a restaurant and do some work there , security is tight , food nearby, banks , cinemas. And see beautiful people around. Don't be surprised if people suggest that you visit a dozen malls .
Just a note, South Africa is not a walkable country. Everything is far apart similar to the USA NOT like Europe. When we say 5 mins, we mean by car not walking. As you can see, there aren't a lot of people walking and there are taxi's, trains, buses, Uber, Bolts etc for people who don't have their own cars. The train is faster than driving so try the Gautrain.
Also, we don't use a lot of cash here. We pay using cards and Apps. Most places accept European cards, but check first and carry cash just incase your card isn't accepted (mostly in the smaller stores). Some Uber drivers won't even come if you select cash payment.
brave man walking with his pone out like that in Jozi. This ain London bruv, be safe and be smart!
We do use cash alot
South Africa is a walkable country depending on where you are. People dnt walk in the suburbs because the suburbs are built around cars not walking
I'm guessing you only grew up in jozi
South Africa or do you mean in Jozi?, there are walkable places in other provinces.
SA is very beautiful. With very beautiful and loving people. Dont be shocked if you feel a sence of humanity ❤❤❤❤
Definitely a beautiful place ✅
I'm South Africa we exchange greetings first before anything else. We don't just into conversations
That's what he did though..
Exactly tell him. South Africa is not like in the UK where people don't greet each other even in most offices meaning work. When you greet some of your work colleagues especially some Whites just look at you and not respond.
He said Dumelang
He wasn’t asking about the camera he wanted to be part of the video 😅😅😅♥️
Please keep money part private. Don't talk money on ur videos. For safety.
Please!!! Don't ignore this comment
🐱
‼️emphasis
And the phone on the streets 🙆🏾♀️😩🤚🏽
Stop being paranoid
South africa is such posistive vibes 😊
Love that you're out here in these streets...Welcome to SA & have a blessed stay...
Thank you.
Rule no.1 don’t walk around with a phone on your hand😹😹😹
Why
@@LegitMalvinkecrime
That part. I am cringing watching the video...
They grab and run,driving an expensive car
When you are in Rosebank take the red bus tour that goes around johannesburg you will enjoy that..
Yes!! Great call. We did that in January. That's a great way to find spots where you want to spend time exploring.
Welcome to SA my brother,hope our country live to your expectations😊😊
That finger sign (up)means going to town.he was asking if u needed a ride
Thanks for the journeys bro. Your Kenya vlogs got me to visit long lost family in Nairobi last year. Now my next trip is South Africa. God bless bro.
You’re welcome.
Where do u find money to travel?
My boy having a blast! We’re happy for it
Just for saying Dumelang your SA name is Thabo!
When traveling by local taxi in SA you point up with the index finger 👆🏾to indicate to the driver that you want to travel towards Joburg CBD
The guys on those Min bus(taxi) asked if you can add him on the vedeo or camera more like just being nice and make you laugh if you understand Zulu language ,he was being nice ,
I love seeing my country through a fresh set of eyes, it's so interesting. A few tips,
1. Uber, don't walk - it's not worth the risk
2. Don't discuss anything to do with money on your content or with strangers on the street
3. Be vigilant, you're on holiday, but becareful not to let tour guard down
4. Keep engaging with our amazing people. South African's are so kind and full of fun.
Enjoy your stay and welcome ❤❤
Thanks for the tips, it’s very cool to see friendly South Africans
Wa gwaan London & welcome to South Africa hope you enjoy yourself here ❤❤
Thank you.
😂😂😂😂 i know that walk from the RocknRoll McDonald's to Benmore. On a hot day, that ish is no fun 😂😂😂
5 minutes when you are driving 🚗, he didn't know you are walking
I like this guy, he doesn't live in fear. So many scaredy cats in the comments 😂
scared cats and very negative
You should've just gotten an uber,Sandton is not walkable,you have to drive if you don't wanna take forever to get to where you I wanna be,also you should've gone to Sandton City Mall,it's a much bigger and better mall with all the currency exchange you need.
That's what I'm talking about and I was wondering how he didn't get a guide or something?
I was thinking the same thing the whole time.
Nice one my man . If you have questions we are here . I think the young man was right . The lady you asked about food ,is clueless. Take note that most people are new to that area , or go straight to work and go home . Keep your head on a swivel , ask about dodgy places at night stay out . Stay safe .
Thank you Big Bro!! Excellent content!!
Thank you.
Welcome first tym I.saw u with nicoline in uganda
Bad directions. Looks like the initial directions were to Sandton City mall, the big mall and the fruit guy on the street just sent you to a small centre . Then the car guard sends you to a totally different shopping centre Benmore which is even further😂😂. You were supposed to go to Sandton City
😂😂😂😂 they did him dirty.
Another great vlog today 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Thank you.
Dumela ka Tyme London. Shxtra🤙
Great content! So Johannesburg is the 3rd highest city in Africa so the UV rays can cause harm if you have sensitive skin, that is why you will see some people walking around with umbrellas. Also walking is harder if you are not used to the higher elevation. I am sure you will get use to it after a few weeks.
Hi! N welcome to SA brother,stay safe my brother n be careful out there,❤ u n thank u for giving SA a chance
Thank you.
Sawubona welcome to SA, I was in Uganda a few weeks ago. Hope you enjoy Joburg shout if you want to see Soweto.
Good vlog, Bro!
Thank you.
from where you started the road is ascending, it is a nice exercise
He thought you were driving. In SA people don't walk that much hence you don't see a lot of people on the streets.
Have you been to the CBD 😂
@@OliverNorthZA not that kinda walking 😂😂 I mean long distances, in CBD it's just short distance walks.
Try to find out where you can get a better deal . They charged you R 950 rands . That is a five day worth of groceries. We do have digital means , if they are cheaper to use , use them . The young generation hardly carries cash here .
Wow this is good😊
The taxis are for transport and the hand signals is pointing to the place you are going to
Welcome to South Africa❤. Just for future references, don't showcase your bank balance😂
Great Vlog✨🤝
Thank you.
Do not Forget to take the red city sightseeing bus in Rosebank. It will show you a number of key spots of the city in a short time.
It is beautiful here but please be very careful. Mind where you put your phone and your money and where you can use Uber use Uber. Sandton is generally safe though. You can also just use your Visa or Mastercard safer than cash.
Hope you go to the Sandton City Mall and Rosebank
Good stuff, do more cities. There's alot of them in SA
There is a place called perere in Sandton that sells traditional food
Whoever initially gave u directions shud have just pointed u to Sandton City. From where ur video started, u were closer to Sandton City - u walked all the way down Grayston Drive and then back up....
Welcome to South Africa enjoy yo stay dont forget to visit Menlyn in Pretoria just take a Gautrain
Thank you.
Combine with Menlyn Maine if you're going that side. But also please note that if you're walking around there, there is Alot of petty theft. Please be careful and make sure your phone is backed up if you're going to have it out to vlog. If you're looking for a nice little place to have a walk and get some good food, uber over to Hazelwood. It's not far from Menlyn, but I don't suggest walking. It's great that you're confident enough to walk around so freely, and thank you for the positive press, but do be vigilant out on our streets. We are a very friendly culture, but sadly alot of people resort to crime for either food or drugs. Hope you enjoy your time here, welcome to our amazing country❤ Oh, and in JHB check out Jan Smuts Ave (some galleries and restaurants)
Please be cautious when walking... it's not safe
Great video
Thank you.
That "no matter what you do keep goin straight" is very important. There are a lot of husslers that will try to take advantage since u dont know the area.
He must have thought you're driving than walking.
Yes those are taxis bro, professional drivers in the country, wet love them too much..
Yea bro dont forget to greet bwfore entering convo, ghe taxi when they stick out an index finger then the customer would reoly by doing the same gesture then the taxi stop and u hop on ,
Hope u dont get knocked, those guys drive like fast &furious when the lights go green... Hope youre enjoying the day time load shedding... Mall wise, stick to sandton city mall, your one stop centre..... Weather, is good, not hot at all like here in Kampala. .. Car wise, i saw loads of lambo uruses, they are as many as harriers of kampala
That sign means are you going to the inner city Johannesburg that taxi is going that direction
☝🏾going to town
Welcome to SA brother try Sandton city mall and Rosebank mall..
Thank you.
Hello welcome to South Africa if there point a finger up the tax is going to Johannesburg CBD watching you from South Africa Fourways
The finger up signs means, 'are you going to the City Centre?'
Hi in SA we stop our taxis using finger signs 😂 that finger means Town
Halla at me will show u a township called tembisa east of joburg.
They lied to u bro there is a restaurant just opposite benmore along 11th street they sell traditional food
Hope u managed to get the guy that was waiting for u out to show u to the restaurant 😊
That was some long walk to the mall 😂😂😂😂
You can actually just stick your card in an ATM and make a withdrawal and you’ll get money in local currency.
Careful. They snatch phones
Good video
Thank you.
you can drink tape water here in SA
Its safe
Wouldnt recommend that given the state of the water infrastructure
Not everywhere
Welcome southAfrica,good flog guy
Thank you.
That guy thought you were driving
The sign means, are you going to town? 😂😂😂 Those are our taxis.
why dont you use a gps map on your phone?
I could never walk to Benmore from there bud, the steep slope there is not nice
Every time you ask strangers about exchanging money my cringe and alarm buttons shoot bright red👀🤯🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️Hope the rest of your visit continues to be awesome. 🙆🏽♀️
The cars are clean? What did you expect? 😳
The problem with sprawling cities and suburbs is that they are not walkable and kinda kill the vibes. Some organised chaos makes a place lively. I don't understand the fun of hanging out in the malls. Reminds me much about sprawling Australian cities, developed, clean but with little vibe.
The guy who said 4 minutes meant with a car. He assumed you were driving.
Part 2 please
Come to cape town
I will visit in the future 💯
He must not have seen the potholes in Sandton
I work just behind the shopping centre...
Dumela and taxi sign is for downtown
Welcome to SA bru
Thank you
Lol the guy was asking if u can also record him with ur camera
5 minutes by car. And you were not far from The Mark mall, it has everything you need.
Hi my friend don't trust any body you meet be warned stay blessed and safe
New subscribers canada in the house
Welcome.
Where do you come from
Welcome to South Africa! Stay safe and don’t ask just anybody for directions or for the bank. Ask Security and at a gas station. Crime is everywhere in the world.
Thank you.
Use an uber to go shopping. Plus it's safer inside the mall, not the streets. And don't ask questions that involve money in the streets. I don't want you to get hurt.
Marha na wena! Why didn’t you use Google Maps??
We have uber and bolt...
Please be safe brada Johannesburg has always been dangerous
Dont worry, keep walking... you will get there now now LOL
I just got there this morning 😊
I was wondering why no one directed you to Sandton City Mall - one of the largest malls around Joburg. Enjoy your stay in Joburg.
Still early days, he'll see it. Patience 😊
The first direction he had been given was to Sandton City I think. The fruit guy then redirected him to a shopping centre on Grayston drive, then car guard and the school kids sent him far to Benmore Gardens on Grayston. Poor guy walked for so long😂😂. But soon he will learn not to just anyone and to be very specific the kind of mall he wants. Also should be careful on befriending everyone and talking forever etc
SA is a unique country and we are authentic ,not trying to be Miami, lets not compare
Where are you off to alone in the quiet street of Jozi? Be careful. I would understand if you were that free inside the malls. Thank you
it was supposed to be 12k
