Comparing Kagali to Johannesburg is a big MISTAKE! Remember that Sandton is Johannesburg and it is regarded as one of the best city in the world. Kigali still have a long way to go. Compare Kigali to Windhoek. Regards from Angola
Why? I'm South African, and Kigali looks _much_ better managed than Johannesburg. Africans should hold their governments accountable, and demand the level of competence in Kigali as the _minimum_ expected standard.
Kigali might be clean but Johannesburg is far developed Yes Kigali downtown looks better than Johannesburg There's Sandton, Rosebank, Fourways, Bedford View and so many world class cities in Johannesburg
There's is this comment about the size of the country that pisses me off. People argue as if they never went to school. The size corresponds with the resources and the tax base. So you can't say Rwanda is developed because it is small. Putting that aside,if Rwanda had the mineral resources that SA and Nigeria had, where do you think it would be. Kagame has done what no other African president can do. No corruption. Very safe. Good infrastructure. And many others. I am from Uganda. I would prefer to work in Uganda because they okay well, eat in Uganda because of good food,study from Uganda but as far as safety is concerned,i prefer Rwanda to any other African country
It's definitely cheaper = easier to develop a smaller country than a large one. And the minimal resources argument it quite useless here every country has a mix of minerals and resources. Population wise, a country with a smaller population is much easier to develop both infrastructural, and HDI
Black people have had enough time to make South Africa a power... I think they should declare themselves incompetent and stop blaming their colonial past
You can't ask a country that borders other poor countries to become rich over night. Leave Africa alone. What's with the rush to develop tomorrow. The world is not going anywhere. Africa is awesome. Let them be!
I believe that the problem is not the color of people, but mass immigration, the excess of poor migrants who are willing to break rules and destroy other people's countries in the name of their struggle to obtain a better life. ex: for anyone who has been to Paris, which is governed by white people, just see how the peripheral neighborhoods are becoming very violent and dirty, because of the number of migrants with low education and beggars, the majority of whom are migrants from Europe Eastern . , Pakistan and West Africa + Maghreb. The same phenomenon can be observed in the south of France and in almost all large cities, medium-sized cities are also being affected. If we go to Portugal the same thing happens, with an excess of Brazilian and Pakistani migrants who don't respect the rules (at least in Portugal, black migrants who speak Portuguese are not the worst and are more welcome than Brazilians or Pakistanis) and all African migrants If they were like those from Lusofonia, perhaps Johannesburg would not be like this and Europe would not be destroyed.
@@mightye2142 It is this kind of mentality that allows corrupt governments to keep their people poor. If you set such a low bar, then you cannot expect any better.
Sandton and the old downtown are run by same municipal government. You can blame them for allocating resources to one part of the city and neglecting the other, but it’s the same people who run it. Remember both districts are in Johannesburg.
@Philasande_Shange you got it all wrong. In a functional capitalist system, resources are not allocated according to needs but according to tax contribution to the treasury. It is like the biblical saying. To those who have, more shall be added. In other words, it is not the government that builds or develops cities. It is the people. The more hardworking and productive people are, the more taxes they pay, the more allocation of finance for better roads and infrastructure, and vice versa. Doing otherwise would be tantamount to robbing Peter to pay Paul. It would remove incentives for people to work harder, to pay more taxes.
As a white South African, I'd like to thank you for making this video. My heart bleeds when I see how run down our once world class cities are. My hope is that your video would inspire my fellow citizens to aspire for better than this, to realise that things can be better than this, we don't have to accept it, and most importantly, that you don't need to be white in order to expect excellence. My hope is that my fellow South Africans would demand more from their government, and aspire to make South Africa the world class country it could and should be. We need to kick out the socialists that has been looting our country dry, and get a responsible government that understand how the modern world works.
Sadly South Africa has been blessed with amazing people and resources… but politicians are stripping the place bare. Sandton has a lot of pirate developers interests who pay a fortune in rates they would never allow their investments go to ruin. Unfortunately the CBD started to go backwards even in the early 90’s it’s just the rot has spread and now is way worse, thanks ANC.
The same people who are in charge of Joburg CBD are the same ones who are in charge of Sandton. Joburgers have just given the city centre to African migrants and that's why it looks the way it does
It seems when you are politics of who is next in line this condition will prevail, leadership have to develop a zero tolerance level of management or else this will never end the problem is I pray that Mr kagame has an infrastructure of leadership or else once he's not there then what?❤
Once H E Kagame will no longer there I believe that this it is the beginning and foundation which will never go back.. Rwandans got lessons and had good test of it. Don't worry Rwanda will be forever stand as good example not only to Africa but to the hall worlppp
Yes I know, I agree. I was just highlighting the institutional infrastructure that can create a sustainable system of government and not play the line that they gave us which is constantly me against you.
Designing and building are two different things South Africans built all our cities...ya'll love this mentality that South Africa didn't have infrasture prior Europeans....keep hating and for your information most of Europe was developes and built by Moors
If u build something yourself you will appreciate it more. It tells you alot about the citizens. You can blame the government to a certain extent but if you live in filth, you become it.
I proudly call Kigali my city, and its progress fills me with pride. Yet, comparing it to a metropolis like Johannesburg wouldn't do justice. While Kigali shines in its organization, it's still growing in terms of infrastructure and various amenities. However, I have no doubt that with its resilience and ongoing development efforts, Kigali will soon stand shoulder to shoulder with major cities like Johannesburg.
His comparison is biased coz he is comparing the best parts of kigali agains the worst parts of joburg.He should compare the best parts of kigali against sandtwon.Kigali is just a glorified little village.Even malabo is way better than kigali ,in terms of roads,infrastrucures,etc...The dirtiest areas in joburg is where blacks live.
I'm Nigerian. With regards to the images of Joburg, I've always maintained that Africa has very low standard, particularly NIGERIA and it's very bothersom. This is the reason unpaved roads, load shedding, bribery and corruption, mismanaged infrastructure, filty environment is very common all across Africa The reality is that it's not as if we can't afford to bring our infrastructure to developed nation's standard. The problem is that maintaining a high standard is just not considered a priority, which begs the question, WHY DOES THE BLACK MAN THINKS THIS WAY? No matter how currupt nations in other continents are, they always remember to put basic infrastructure in order.
@rulisa1131 Pay attention to my language, "the geographical area now called Rwanda". Rwanda only existed after the colonisers created their mess. Like every other subsaharan African country, ethnic homogeneity and other forms of kingdoms, chiefdoms, or nations existed under different names and geography. Thanks for stopping by!
@@BantuCityDiaries Uhh no my guy it existed way before the Europeans ever thought to come to Africa it started as a small kingdom called Rwanda rwa Gasabo and then through expansion, it came to what you see today.

You are not wrong and at the same time you are not right. If want to understand Joburg, ask your Uber driver who is South African about the developments that are happening in Johannesburg
C'mon bro...sidelining emotional tendencies...this here is constructive criticism...So, what are we saying..? "it's okay that other areas go down the drain because we have other good areas? How do we as "black" South African let our black government to allow good infrastructural foundation built on blood, sweat and tears go to waste under our watch (or sleep) = negligence....when even Rwanda who experienced public disturbance but started rebuilding from "scratch" is better maintained.

CBD of Johannesburg is occupied by foreign nationals. You'll find South Africans in townships(ekasi) not slumps and the middle class South Africans in affluent estates. Ask any South African and they'll tell you the same story.
Stupid ANC turned that place into a Refugee Camp by illegal and legal foreigners. Your countries have been free for decades why can’t you develop your countries
@@BantuCityDiaries That is impossible, maybe they told you they South Africans because thats why they do, but if you know how South Africans look, you will tell that they not one of us
my friends, as Rwandans, we know very well where the country's development has been very fast, there are many African countries that have already made progress
Sandton City was built way after Apartheid, You can't undermine South Africa like that by saying Johannesburg would be another Lagos, hell no! So many cities in Africa you can focus on and just let us breath!
Kigali can't be compared to Joburg... Firstly kigali is insanely small, probably the size of a district is in Joburg. For all the negatives Joburg has just never forgotten the many many many good arears it has like Sandton, Rosebank & Midrand. I mean Kigal is just clean nothing else and in reality I'd live in Joburg over kigali in 300 life times, heck I'd live in nearly every other major African city before Kigali... not hate, just being realistic
Kigali is 6x bigger than Paris, over 100km2 bigger than Madrid, 3x bigger than Milan, Nairobi, Algiers, 3x Amsterdam, 7x Zurich, 4x Boston, and I can go on.
Joburg is 2.300ksq km and Kigali 730 sq km. What you're referring to as "Johannesburg" are only the run-down parts of the old CBD. There's many well-maintained parts of the CBD you refused to show - in your yt worship narrative. Also, Sandton IS in Johannesburg. Joburg has over 800 suburbs most of which are well managed which you choose to refer to as "mainly white". You're not unique in your agenda, just following a familiar race-bait script.
Julius Berger = German Chinese and all other companies in Nigeria that are involved in construction or infrastructural developments are foreign. Nigeria can't even build a 10-metre suspension bridge. What do you mean Nigerians built Nigeria? Nigerians can't even build a duplex that meets world standards.
@@BantuCityDiariesI believe he speaks of the initiative and command of the work, after it was not under European command and control. and that doesn't change the fact that they were Nigerian If I take your perspective, then did Africans build Africa and the Americas? post comamand was European but the workforce was 100% African then Africans built Africa and America. rectify in your video about Angola where you say that the Portuguese built Luanda. please. Afterwards were the Angolans.
The Good parts of Joburg that are clean and well managed by the corrupt ANC government are bigger, cleaner, infra-structurally and aesthetically more developed than the city center or downtown of lagos island, Kigali, abuja (Wuse II, Maitama, Asokoro,Garki)and Luanda put together. I have been to all these places so I know. Check out Benoni, Sandton, houghton park, Kempton park, Endenvale , Germiston, Midrand. Visit Capetown, it is governed by the DA( Democratic Alliance, a white dominated party) Capetown is world class city with very limited street trading. Please do a video on Capetown.
@AmaniIrakoze-v3q The Oxford Dictionary defines comparison as the process of estimating, measuring, or noting the similarities or differences between two entities. You may be using the terms "compete" and "compare" interchangeably. Thanks for stopping by!
@BantuCityDiaries brother you are very far Johannesburg referred to be manhattan of Africa you don't anything for is even far from. Nairobi Mu brother please keep comparison with we stay there and we also know Kigali I,m East African son so I know both of 2 cities
Sandton is run by The same Municipality that runs the Jhb CBD not by so called 'whites'. The view that certain places font look African, kanti what do African things look like?
Ethnically speaking, Tutsis and Hutus are not the same people and do not have the same ancestry. Science can prove this with a simple ancestry test that many people do today, and just by looking at them you can see. The Tutsis look like the people of Kenya and those of Uganda, Ethiopia and Yemen are also like that, even the accent is similar when they speak Luganda and Kinyarwanda. Hutus, on the other hand, look like the people of central Africa. For me, the genocide was not caused by them discovering that one (Tutsis) were foreigners, but by the fact that they were cold-blooded, because in my country there are people from completely different linguistic groups and there are natives of a different race, but that's not why there was genocide. The problem is not accepting other people's differences. intolerance. According to the story told by Europeans, the Bantu-speaking people are the foreigners from southern Africa and the Khoisans are the local indigenous people, and they even theorize that the local Bantu-speaking Himbas originate from Ethiopia but that's not why the Bushmen/Khoisans decided to kill the Bantus or vice versa. I don't know if science got the origins of these people right, I just know that this is no reason to hate your neighbor and kill them
I agree with you, most people in Africa are greedy, they approach you with interest and even when they offer "help" they generally ask for money in return, worse than those in West Africa and those in Central Africa. Those from East Africa (Ethiopia and Kenya) (with the exception of Mozambicans who seem to me to be very humble people) and the Maghreb also like to exploit foreigners, they are dishonest and sell the same product at a thousand different prices depending on who is buying it. The Rwandans don't seem greedy to me, but they are also not humble people in my opinion. However, they are not proud like the Nigerians, Ivorians and Congolese.
@@BantuCityDiaries Is the exploitation there worse?😮 I didn't know. therefore the Nigerian people need to change their mindset. I thought the Congolese in the DRC were the worst. So I would like to live in Nigeria, after all I like to live with honest people
@vinescomedy9512 Why can't you counter my portrayal of Nigeria? If you are looking for RUclipsrs who will caress Nigeria and run the 'giant of Africa' axiom, I guess you are in the wrong place.
Nigeria is the giant of Africa... The problem is you think everything futuristic is perfect except in Europe... Go back in time and you will know the truth... Nigeria has ancient cities that are like 1000 years and their companies make things indegenously... Plus Nigeria has 26 cities... Innoson makes their own cars, they make their own drones, the new refinery, they are even making computers... Solar industries South Africans mostly just talk about luxury... They have a huge per capita on big countries... But Nigeria is a beast... People say china is ahead of USA because everything we use comes from China but USA is more luxurious... Australia and canada are also luxarious but not giants in anything... It takes more than per capita... Plus Nigeria has it's own architecture
Plus Abuja is the most planned city in Africa... A newer Nigerian city or eko Atlantic which is right now at the building stage and will start appearing The problem with Africans, you want to measure development not with tech but with the indegenous Africans whom you now call poor, lol... Those people herding their own sheeps prevents development in Nigeria?
@@AfricasRealities yeah, and South Africa looked easier to 'steal' because it was far from the known African civilizations, do the Europeans just thought thy would go there, pretend to help, teach them false history, takeover... That was before pan africanism... So the Europeans made a system, unlike Nigeria that the Europeans had to negotiate deals with and even helped in their USA project.... That's why everywhere where the Europeans 'civilized' has forgotten that greatness existed in africa before GDP counts
@@AfricasRealities it depends with the country like Nigeria each headquarter of a state is a city in other words a township with a bishop is a city in other that you underrate to have less cities mostly they use population anything less than 750000 is not a city no matter developed it is
@user-kv5kx5ss7r Germany: Essen, Duisburg, Nürnberg, Stuttgart. UK: Bristol, Bradford, Leeds, Portsmouth, and Edinburgh. USA: Denver, Oklahoma City, El Paso, Portland, and Kansas City. All these cities are under 750k; by your reasoning, they are not cities; would that be correct?

There's many well-maintained parts of the CBD you refused to show - in your yt worship narrative. Also, Sandton IS in Johannesburg. Joburg has over 800 suburbs most of which are well managed which you choose to refer to as "mainly white". You're not unique in your agenda, just following a familiar race-bait script.
Stop fooling yourself, Nigeria is built by Nigerians not European.
Julius Berger = German
Chinese and all other companies in Nigeria that are involved in construction or infrastructural developments are foreign. Nigeria can't even build a 10-metre suspension bridge. What do you mean Nigerians built Nigeria? Nigerians can't even build a duplex that meets world standards.
So funny reading Nigeria is built by Nigerians 😂😂.. This must be a good joke @@BantuCityDiaries
Well, you make a good case here. You don't necessarily have to use your hands to build them; that is true.
@@BantuCityDiariesI believe he speaks of the initiative and command of the work, after it was not under European command and control. and that doesn't change the fact that they were Nigerian
If I take your perspective, then did Africans build Africa and the Americas? post comamand was European but the workforce was 100% African
then Africans built Africa and America. rectify in your video about Angola where you say that the Portuguese built Luanda. please. Afterwards were the Angolans.
Can you pls show us Ghandi square and bank city in Johannesburg
Johannesburg ❤
The Good parts of Joburg that are clean and well managed by the corrupt ANC government are bigger, cleaner, infra-structurally and aesthetically more developed than the city center or downtown of lagos island, Kigali, abuja (Wuse II, Maitama, Asokoro,Garki)and Luanda put together. I have been to all these places so I know. Check out Benoni, Sandton, houghton park, Kempton park, Endenvale , Germiston, Midrand.
Visit Capetown, it is governed by the DA( Democratic Alliance, a white dominated party) Capetown is world class city with very limited street trading. Please do a video on Capetown.
@dannosh4529
No sensible person will dispute that. Absolutely!

I covered Cape Town already.
This guy is crazy how can compare Johannesburg to Kigali ask us people stays in Johannesburg my brother
@AmaniIrakoze-v3q
The Oxford Dictionary defines comparison as the process of estimating, measuring, or noting the similarities or differences between two entities.
You may be using the terms "compete" and "compare" interchangeably.
Thanks for stopping by!
@BantuCityDiaries brother you are very far Johannesburg referred to be manhattan of Africa you don't anything for is even far from. Nairobi Mu brother please keep comparison with we stay there and we also know Kigali I,m East African son so I know both of 2 cities
Sandton is run by The same Municipality that runs the Jhb CBD not by so called 'whites'.
The view that certain places font look African, kanti what do African things look like?
Ethnically speaking, Tutsis and Hutus are not the same people and do not have the same ancestry. Science can prove this with a simple ancestry test that many people do today, and just by looking at them you can see. The Tutsis look like the people of Kenya and those of Uganda, Ethiopia and Yemen are also like that, even the accent is similar when they speak Luganda and Kinyarwanda. Hutus, on the other hand, look like the people of central Africa.
For me, the genocide was not caused by them discovering that one (Tutsis) were foreigners, but by the fact that they were cold-blooded, because in my country there are people from completely different linguistic groups and there are natives of a different race, but that's not why there was genocide.
The problem is not accepting other people's differences. intolerance.
According to the story told by Europeans, the Bantu-speaking people are the foreigners from southern Africa and the Khoisans are the local indigenous people, and they even theorize that the local Bantu-speaking Himbas originate from Ethiopia
but that's not why the Bushmen/Khoisans decided to kill the Bantus or vice versa.
I don't know if science got the origins of these people right, I just know that this is no reason to hate your neighbor and kill them
@SMadalena
Thanks for a great insight here.
I agree with you, most people in Africa are greedy, they approach you with interest and even when they offer "help" they generally ask for money in return, worse than those in West Africa and those in Central Africa. Those from East Africa (Ethiopia and Kenya) (with the exception of Mozambicans who seem to me to be very humble people) and the Maghreb also like to exploit foreigners, they are dishonest and sell the same product at a thousand different prices depending on who is buying it.
The Rwandans don't seem greedy to me, but they are also not humble people in my opinion. However, they are not proud like the Nigerians, Ivorians and Congolese.
@SMadalena
When it comes to pride, no country in Africa compares to Nigeria.
@@BantuCityDiaries Is the exploitation there worse?😮 I didn't know.
therefore the Nigerian people need to change their mindset. I thought the Congolese in the DRC were the worst. So I would like to live in Nigeria, after all I like to live with honest people
Another Uganda🇺🇬😂😅 mujakiwulila
The comments here damn! You guys should learn how to edit your comments or write with your indigenous languages pls.
Why is it that, you love to portray Nigeria in a bad way?
@vinescomedy9512
Why can't you counter my portrayal of Nigeria? If you are looking for RUclipsrs who will caress Nigeria and run the 'giant of Africa' axiom, I guess you are in the wrong place.
U re right bro... niaja is behind!?
Nigeria is the giant of Africa... The problem is you think everything futuristic is perfect except in Europe... Go back in time and you will know the truth...
Nigeria has ancient cities that are like 1000 years and their companies make things indegenously...
Plus Nigeria has 26 cities...
Innoson makes their own cars, they make their own drones, the new refinery, they are even making computers... Solar industries
South Africans mostly just talk about luxury... They have a huge per capita on big countries... But Nigeria is a beast...
People say china is ahead of USA because everything we use comes from China but USA is more luxurious... Australia and canada are also luxarious but not giants in anything... It takes more than per capita...
Plus Nigeria has it's own architecture
Plus Abuja is the most planned city in Africa... A newer Nigerian city or eko Atlantic which is right now at the building stage and will start appearing
The problem with Africans, you want to measure development not with tech but with the indegenous Africans whom you now call poor, lol... Those people herding their own sheeps prevents development in Nigeria?
@@AfricasRealities yeah, and South Africa looked easier to 'steal' because it was far from the known African civilizations, do the Europeans just thought thy would go there, pretend to help, teach them false history, takeover... That was before pan africanism... So the Europeans made a system, unlike Nigeria that the Europeans had to negotiate deals with and even helped in their USA project....
That's why everywhere where the Europeans 'civilized' has forgotten that greatness existed in africa before GDP counts
@@AfricasRealitiesyou can even call anything a city and have 500 so the number of cities doesn't count
@@AfricasRealities it depends with the country like Nigeria each headquarter of a state is a city in other words a township with a bishop is a city in other that you underrate to have less cities mostly they use population anything less than 750000 is not a city no matter developed it is
@user-kv5kx5ss7r
Germany: Essen, Duisburg, Nürnberg, Stuttgart. UK: Bristol, Bradford, Leeds, Portsmouth, and Edinburgh. USA: Denver, Oklahoma City, El Paso, Portland, and Kansas City.
All these cities are under 750k; by your reasoning, they are not cities; would that be correct?
