To me, CAPE TOWN was PERFECT… until I saw THIS. 🇿🇦🤔


CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA is quickly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations. Not just in Africa, but for tourists around the world. Cape Town’s popularity is booming, and it’s easy to see why… But it’s not quite perfect.

I spent a month based out of Cape Town, and I quickly fell in love with so many of the things I found there….

Growing up and living in South Africa shows you a crazy diversity. I grew up in a middle class family, But as an adult I'm classed an "lower class" or living on the bread line. Minimum wage is not enough to live on, even when sharing a home. I used to live in a one bedroom house with my partner and another couple and their kid. One bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen big enough to fit a fridge, a stove, and a basin. We slept on a single bed in the "living room". My partner has gotten a good job that pays him a bit better now, so we can afford a bachelor flat, but I haven't had money to spend on myself since I lived with my parents. The wealth disparity is massive, but people are working to change that.

You sound apologetic for not going to the townships/locations, which by the way, also have tourist catering places. Poverty is everywhere even Switzerland. The ordinary Capetonian has a love/hate relationship with tourists. The business owners love the money tourism bring but the ordinary locals not as much, due to the fact that the cost of living is high, precisely because of you, the tourist, making Cape Town the most expensive place to live in South Africa. And by the way, Cape Town is the tip of the iceberg. It's one of the few countries in the world that literally has every type of scenery imaginable. No hard feelings, just telling you how it is.

Thank you for a lovely video and for being respectful and aware of our social issues. You won't believe how just supporting local businesses and tipping people can make a huge difference.

(ik it a late reply), Cape Town may have the best sights in the world but, the it has a dark reality. the living conditions for us, South Africans are just horrible and especially the Damned corrupted Government, it so corrupted that South Africa is impending it's downfall.

as a person who was born and grew up here i remember the waterfront and winerys and how much it changed but also how much for busy it is nowadays, i can hardly walk around without getting overwhelmed or bumping into people. i still remember begging as a kid to visit the the scratch patch for gemstones and trying to fit as many of them in the tiny bag. also your pronunciation is pretty good compared to others please

A recuring point you make in this video is the wealth and inequality or disparity part, i myself who is a capetonian have to mention that it not as you think, replace those words with politics and curruption, another thing to mention is that even if my friend stays in a township we are still equal and he is my brother. as south africans we stand together strong and together we are united as one people unrelated by colour. i do love this video and the comitment also the great time you had is warming to see. much love and this isnt me being a heckler or negitive its me pulling the facts straight as a person that has lived there their whole live. lekker my bru cheers.

As an South African who lives in Cape Town, Our City is one of the best, But, There are a tonn of homeless and dangerous areas Near the city, As someone who lives in a pretty safe neighborhood i can say we still get crimes, and lets not talk about the Cape Flats and Mitchells Plain….

But Cape Town is still really beautiful and i would recommend our Western Cape province to anyone who is wanting to go on holiday over seas :>

Glad that you've brought the inequality to awareness, racism is still rife, but the 'haves' hate to bring it up, and isolate themselves from those in poverty,but continually to profit and benefit from it with low wage labour and other conveniencesb

the kind of poverty you are having at the moment in the US is frightening! for a country that considers itself the richest country in the world that's a real DISGRACE ! don't worry about us we are improving slowly but surely, as long as we don't answer to anybody! as long as we are free from colonialism we will get there soon, the next time you come to south Africa, don't come here and start talking about poverty as if there is no poverty from where you come from! relax we know what you have in the US ! so calm down and keep your TIPS for yourself, we don't need your tips bro! just come enjoy, be amazed with what you see ! then shut up and go back home!

Dude get your facts right…the townships have increased 100 times with new government they allow illegals in so they can get the vote and thereby ct is a crime capital of Africa next to Johannesburg . The new government is wayyy worse than apartheid except we cant use that word when being a white person largely being butchered and slaughtered all over the farming comminuted and yet the world sais nothing and overseas journalists remain silent!! How the hell does that work then…I’m sick of the woke and new generation jumping on top of that over used word apartheid when knowing nothing about the real history ….dont forget the first people to start slavery in Africa were blacks from Mali.

It's literally the most unequal place on Earth. Cape Town is like Israel, and Khayalicha is like Palestine.
Apartheid began the same year Israel became a country, the same year Orwell wrote 1984
