    Until you've taken a taxi you'll never understand...
    the taxi drivers live a very stressful life. They get up at 4 am & work LONG hours often till the last load around 8pm. The owners have daily targets that need to be met, and they dnt F around😂
    Glad to see u learning the country more intimately!

    One of those stunning Sandton buildings were built by my husband... The EY building to be specific :) He's a construction engeneer - So every time we drive past it, i always feel a sense of pride and it makes him feel good too! We certainly do have top notch buildings around Jozi!👌💞

    Hi Ricky....a bit of context and history about the taxi industry, it started off as an informal industry and they continue not to have that support yet they are technically responsible for transporting a millions of people daily and help the economy, without them it would be a lot difficult for a lot of folks, also their trying to earn a living while you on way to make a living, so given that a lot of folks give them way even if they go on to break the rules.....traffic officers are aware of this, coz if you try and do what they do, it is you that will be stopped.

    Just as the USA will be having their elections in November. IN a few weeks (29 May 2024 ) South Africans will be exercising their democratic rights by voting. These posters are part of the 3 major parties in the country, but their many parties in SA contesting elections.

    Just to clarify on the uhm relationship section. While polygamy does exist here as in other places it's by no means the norm or majority. It mostly occurs among people who've grown up in more traditional settings and more rural settings. They do take it to more urban places as well. And it's not forced of cause.
    But it goes without saying that this is not what you should presume when coming here as he put it, as if it's default here, it's not.. South African woman are pretty much top tier when it comes to all-round beauty. So if you're a guy I wouldn't say temptation is everywhere I'd say there's plenty of beauty. It can be a challenge if you're a wan as well I suppose as local men in SA basically never marry outside SA lol. Just be true to yourself I suppose it's what's being said here.

    Taxis were not allocated stopping places because of apartheid craziness. They learnt to make their own rules. Up to this day they don’t have designated stops or lanes. So we all ask to get off anywhere, so the taxis stop anywhere.

      Not at all, that doesn't happen. No lady goes to a married lady and ask if her husband is available. What happens is that the man can have as many wives as he can 'afford' to take care of, and off course often times with the approval of the senior (first) wife.

      It is mainly for approval from the First wife. The approach was incorrect though. A lot of steps were skipped. Basically this lady was being disrespectful to Chrystel and weighing her out.

    • @lifewithnkay1753

    • @africaneagle7397
      @africaneagle7397 4 месяца назад +6

      In Christian (civil) marriages, you are only allowed one wife. If you want to make another person your wife, you must divorce first. So, I find it very strange that Ricky's wife was approached about Polygamy.
      Polygamy is only allowed in customary marriages. These include African traditional marriages and Muslim marriages. It is always men, who intiate the talks, not women. Again I find it strange that a woman approached Ricky's wife. Furthermore, amongst black people, Polygamy is practiced by a negligible percentage of people, usually rural and not highly educated people. But these days, some rich men practice it, mainly because they are womanizers, who love women and don't want to hide their big appetites for women or sex. I am Zulu by the way, and I think the woman is very very mischievous!
