In South Africa wed like for you guys to come back home but I have to tell you that we have an unspoken social law where respect for culture and our way of life is prioritized.
Well said sister. Please let them know we put God, Family and Community before money.
What do you mean come back? South Africa had no part in slavery, theres no coming back black Americans are West Africans and they know that.
Plus, SA has no resources to take care of everybody who want to come here. Ignoramus.
And we don't want LGBTQ on our continent too. So South Africans, you guys should work on this too
I can testify, understand and agree because when I’m in SA, 98% of my time is spent with indigenous people (Tswana, Zulu, Xhosa) …my South African lady and her family. This is their belief and I support.
As an American, we are tricked into believing we know what others should do. It’s our weakness and an attitude to leave behind when departing the USA for South Africa, Africa or anywhere really.
You obviously do not know history. SA had no part in slavery so no one can 'come back home' to SA. We have immigration laws that apply to all foreigners including black Americans.
They used to call our continent a jungle bona manje 😏😏
🫣
Lmao.
Welcome to your new home guys. Make sure to collaborate with people that have already moved this side to help you settle in smoother. Praise be to God the Almighty.
Americans can live large in South Africa, its so easy.
With just 1 Million US you can buy a large 4/5 bed house, 2 luxury cars, a franchise and a couple of rental properties.
What I dont like is that they dont buy cashvgeneraging asssets. Jiat residentoal houses insteadvof apoartment blocks in cheaper arears renovate with American flair and let out
Sister we use a Rand and what's sad is we have all the gold,platinum,diamonds but our money is worthless 😢-South Africa
😢
Hi family. You dollar in South Africa goes along way.
I was in SA in the late 90’s the Rand was between 5-6 to the dollar then.
When Thabo Mbeki was a president
After apartheid ended, it just started declining😂
@@KB-ny5nl fuck the rand....viva freedom viva
Currency manipulation. Research it.
Thats just by design hence we need to move away from the western system. every-time blacks gain leadership of their homelands, such happens
You talking about South Africa here the Giant of Africa
Stop speaking like a nigerian. South Africans don't use such language. We are NIT threatened, so have no point to prove.
It doesn’t work exactly like that lol but South Africa is definitely cheaper, one dollar is worth 146 Kenyan shillings lol
That's some 'Truthin' you doing here, SB. Keep it up! ❤
Africa will triumph over the nations and foreign continents as it has and is still doing but most people don't realize that
I've been watching the same indicators. I have less but I'm purchasing preparations ONLY (these days)✊🏿B1
Welcome home sistaz
I've been traveling to South Africa 3 or 4 times a year for the past 5 years and even lived there during Covid. It's a beautiful place, and I plan to retire there.
This video was informative and accurate, but I noticed a discrepancy in the currency explanation.
When I first started visiting, the exchange rate was 7 rands for 1 dollar. A gin and tonic, my first adult drink there, cost 49 rands or $7 USD, whereas it would cost around $12 USD in DC at the time. Now, the rand has shifted to 19 to 1 dollar, and the same G&T is priced at 150 rands or $7.87. In comparison, the same drink in DC now costs around $19. Applying this price scale to everything, you'll find that your spending power essentially doubles when in Johannesburg compared to a major US city.
However, it's worth noting that not everything is cheaper; gasoline or petrol, for example, is 25% to 50% more expensive.
Thank you for this valuable information 🙏🏽
Consider visiting PortElizabeth too...Lovely place in SouthAfrica
Spent a week there! I have to say it took me that whole week to get the hang of driving on the opposite side of the road and car as well as shifting gears with my left hand. The most challenging thing was the trip we took to King William’s Town ! Ppl were absolutely lovely though!!!
I see both PE and King William’s Town have changed names! It’s gonna take me some time to remember the new one’s!
I think you people should stop about this dollar rate bragging, it's affecting South Africans negatively in price hikes. Real estate has gone up and it's the same thing that happened in Mexico, when Americans stormed their country.
Since there's a sudden interest in SA, our government should re-visit our policies and make some changes.
South Africans are not benefiting on this migration at all.
I hear you good sir. It is my husbands and I intentions to start business in Africa and creat job opportunities is that not welcomed?
@@SBULIVE Trust me, that will be more than welcomed. Unlike most who only come for leisure and dollar benefits 🙏
As you guys are aware, SAns are still figthing for there economic freedom and we would appreciate if you come and assist rather than benefiting from this one-sided economy.
which estate or research did you see that suggest this? European have been using this same system for many years buying properties in SA, i never came across your complains.
I agree @Lozi,when Europeans move in and out of South africa, no one complains.African Americans are welcome here at anytime.they too must take advantage of the Rand dollar exchange like Britzs do Pound rand exchange.
Welcome back home sister Africa need you.
The weaker the rand gets the more tuff the situation gets for the locals. The more Americans migrate to SA, the more the situation gets difficult for the locals because USD is making the living cost high for the locals in SA.
Some of us want to create businesses and employment for the locals.
It is not true. Whites have been coming to S.A for years But nothing changed. Don't be greedy. Our African Americans will create jobs other than our west African brothers who came and started selling drugs and did nasty things.
I understand this and I think it all th way messed up how just because Americans go a place the businesses start raising prices. That is what needs to stop.
S.A. is a friendly nation we still have values our that forefathers had tought us
Don't you think this should be blamed on our government for being opportunists?
What I dont like is that they dont buy cash income generaging assets like appartment blocks in cheaper arears rennovate with American flair and let out
Yes it's coming a certain time where the gates of RSA will be closed by a certain generation and no one will be able to enter whether they are billionaire or not ,those who will be in will be in for life and those out will have to have a South African recommendation for them to be allowed just to visit the country so come and will change the constitution of South Africa 🇿🇦 together Ngoni&Sotho law or our Bantu law
It no difference in Ghana or Nigeria as well plus Uganda.....you forget that I am CBN (Canadian born Nigerian). Real estate in Ghana is a big deal as well as well in Nigeria
Real estate in west Africa Southern Africa is way deferent the qaulity of houses and lifestyle,west Africa they import most of their material Southern manufacturer their own building material some houses in west Africa can be build without good plan.For an example they can build altra houses in the middle of no-were without shopping center pave-roads even water,but in South Africa they build next to the malls or shopping center first they put water sewage system electricity pave-roads houses after the prices will shock you because it will be gated golf estates prices from 250k dollars up-wards full house not apartment
They're lot of American who are retired here who lives here in South Africa some building their own home true 🤞🇿🇦🇿🇦
A decade ago it was 8 to 1 to the dollar. Two decades ago it was 5 to 1. 6 months ago it was 19 then almost 20. It is coming down again. It fluctuates like crazy these days. Probably because of the politic landscape.
Every African half African and Part African born and migrant abroad must come back home to the mother and homeland of Africa from exile. The world economy relies on African talent intellect strength skill strategy wisdom. If everyone of African migration and decent left the continents and came back home. The global economy will collapse.
Come rebuild Africa as it was is and forever will be the gold standard of the world and ancient and recent civilization
The Alpha of Africa is Egypt
The Omega of Africa probably is South Africa
Those who are first will be last
Those who are last will be first
❤❤❤We love you guys. And you deserve to atleast try to visit SA if you can❤❤❤
You can get the most beautiful property with with $100k in SA
Talk to them girl
The Western and first world country was very appealing to the eye but turned out not to be grassy green on the other side of the Atlantic Mediterannian Indian Ocean and Sea after all😂😂😂
J'burg is no joke!
I am so happy to see you really excited about your new venture to South Africa and wish you all the best but watch out for the scams. Scammers are everywhere as well as here in America, but having to experience firsthand being scammed and hearing about it from others it happened to is concerning among African countries. I was to go to Jamaica last Summer with a friend whose from there to visit her family and the first thing she warned me about was to let her do all the talking when we go into the market place because when the natives find out you're American they will raise the price because of the value of the American dollar. Use wisdom and I pray for your safety there and back on your visit.
🙏 thank you sooooo much
Fortunately Jamaica is in the North America. I am a South African who resides in Durban, a metropolitan city in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Depending on where you live the level of crime differs. The most common crime you may come accross is a hijacking. And that too differs based on where you reside and the car make and model you are driving. The markets are great and no one will scam based on your accent and or derelict. Just like in the States you have to be aware of your surroundings unless in a shopping mall because of security. Mini bus taxi ranks are also safe because any person who commits a crime there either ends up in the hospital or the mortuary.

@SBU Live, I would have love to connect you to Wode Maya since he like THE Ambassodor of Africa right now
Worst mistake
He's Ghananian and doesn't know much about South Africa
@@roblucci2366
DOESN'T MATTER!
WODE MAYA HAS GREAT CONTENT ON HIS CZcams CHANNEL!
WE NEED TO STOP CREATING DIVISION AMONG AND BETWEEN AND AMONG BLACK PEOPLE!
WHETHER WE ARE IN AFRICA OR IN AMERICA OR IN SOUTH AMERICA, ETC. ETC.!
@@geatodaoz6043 how am I creating division? Sbu talks about relocating to South Africa, how's linking up with Wode Maya going to help with that transition?
@@roblucci2366 What's wrong with these people, want to involve a Ghanaian in South African matters 🤣🤣
@@roblucci2366
You are 1000000% correct. Wode maya is a NO NO NO for real estate in Mzansi. We very capable to do it ourselves. He can go to Ghana or West Africa and assist there. We are fine. He might have the information but nothing beats the ORIGINAL.
The only ones can leave are those with the resources, plus, due to background, many bros can't live overseas due to criminal restrictions, Africa is no joke for those who grew up in USA, racism and murder are the by products of living in USA, make up your mind but Africa is no panacea for those looking for freedom and security.
Much of Africa still believes in morals, discipline and GOD. He is our source and has told us to go.
@SBULIVE That's right, Sis, follow the directions that were given to YOU by The Most High. He's the one you answer to. Most of our families and friends don't understand this move. I can't even say that I understand it, but we followed His directions. South Africa is BEAUTIFUL because of the PEOPLE! You are going to love them...I Promise!! 🥰😍
And don't forget that all that is changing, BRIC'S will bring down Dollar,so will wait for last laugh
Laugh? 🥶
Last Laugh? 🥶🥶
@@SBULIVE yes. Why they should comeback to where they've never been before? They enjoyed the benefits of blood, sweat and tear's of Africans
It is very concerning! We have no idea who the people are crossing in. So true! Its scary. 18 to 1 sounds great! But tell me is it like where an apple cost 5 rands? I am looking forward to this journey in South Africa. Ive had my passport for about 10 yrs. Are u thinking an attack or? A week ago i also watched a video about illegal immigrants in SA but they were mostly European lol.
Hey, Fee Fee, no, the cost of living is very inexpensive compared to the US. We are visiting soon and make sure you look for the videos to come. In the meantime, continue to read your Bible and stay in prayer with God. Seek answers for all those questions you may have. We just changing locations were not going away.
You’ll need to sing our national anthem flawlessly before we welcome you🤣
@nicosodisa758 keep your welcome buddy. I'm not comin there lol.
@@nicosodisa758 and shame on you for not welcoming your disconnected relatives!
😂 R5 per apple. I am from South Africa. Be free to ask any questions you like and I will reply as honestly as I can. When it comes to the cost of living well it is not that bad. When making comparisons to countries abroad I can personally say that it is not bad at all. Now to answer your apple question, in your currency(USD) a 2 pound bag of apples will cost you less than $2 and for just 1 apple that would be about 12 cents.
It always suprises me when people think that swapping America with the US is a sensible thing,LOL. I'm not trying to be negative,but I live here,this is not a place to live your life if you had an option,but goodluck to you,you will 100% regret it so keep your passport,but goodluck you anyways.
It definitely depends on your financial status
I'm really worried that you are not leaving. Why are you staying if it's so terrible.
The oppressors don't want black Americans to come to S.A because although blacks a majority, they think blacks will live better so they want this piece of cake to be for themselves only. African Americans we love you y"all. Come and enjoy the fruits of your forefathers.
@@IGBOAmericanKing There is a resent discovery of oil and natural gas in western cape , eastern cape and Mpumalanga. We Africans must stand together and protect what belongs to us because if westerners come, they will make us fight each other.
The DRC war won't stop now because of the minerals they have. They have a lot of diamonds.
In kenya, it's better
🤔
😂😂😂😂
@@SBULIVENO NO NO don't listen to him come to South Africa.😊
@@missngubane2150 😃😃😃
@@missngubane2150 why are you disparate?
I find it very strange my sister that you moving away from the US and coming to SA, where there is more people that are poor and homeless and dying of hunger and come spend your 1 --> 18$, just to make it even more hard for the poor in SA. people that comes with that 1$ they raise inflation in this country where we end up with more poor people in SA. I hope you know that. if you come to SA for any different reason, I am all up for that and I will welcome you. but you running away from immigrants to come be an immigrant in SA. that's very questionable to me my sister.
SB'S point was that immigrants entering the US illegally is the issue. Immigrants with no screening could be criminals and people with no moral compass. SB and I have been in law enforcement for over 25 years and we are certainly entering into the continent the proper way. Listen to her videos and know her story before judging. We were content with being in the US but have been instructed by our creator to go to Africa, this is a purpose that may benefit many natives. We have been entrepreneurs in the US for over 25 years. We will be contributing to the economy. Our wealth will be shared by providing jobs to those who are willing to work for a better lifestyle. Stay tuned...
Your ignorance is what is causing your confusion. South Africa has the second largest black middle class in the world after the US. It is also the most industrialised country on the continent thereby making it the most industrialised black country on the planet. It is also the 31st richest country in the world out of 205 counties meaning only 30 countries are richer and more developed than SA. Unlike the US, SA provides free housing for the poor, free medical healthcare, free schooling, subsidised housing for low income earners, subsidised electricity and water for townships and villages. None of these things are offered in the US that is why you don't see piles and piles of homeless people lining the streets of Cape Town or any city in the country as you would in parts of California. South Africans generally suffer from a mental disorder of thinking other countries are doing so much better when the evidence is clearly there that this is not the case. South Africa is also not a small country which means there is more infrastructure to develop, it's twice the size of France and more than seven times bigger than England. The people than know the truth and see the value of this country have a spaza shop in every township, street corner in town, have a salon in every corner of every town, are making thousands a week of Uber, are working in the restaurants, have tyre shops and every kind of business while we South Africans just sit and complain. Every other nationality is keeping quite and making money. The only people who are not selling any type of service or product to anyone in this country are black South Africans who have been indoctrinated by White people to just sit and complain about the government.
@SBULIVE this is your motherland too. You are all welcome family
After you move to South Africa, will you continue earning the American dollars remotely? If not then you need to reorganize your thinking...
Absolutely, a 20 year entrepreneur in the US. Thanks for watching
@@SBULIVE Then I suppose you'll do far much better in South Africa. I'm African who has also lived in the US therefore I can tell you go for it right now! But plan well though.....you'll go through a period of disorientation due to cultural differences but stick to your goal.
@@maxwellkariuki2930but SA currency is stable, lots of black Americans in SA with SA based business. Oprah owns a lot a commercial properties in SA and she has been investing in SA for two decades
