- Let's compare the two AMAZING African nations. They are similar in some ways, but there are some clear differences. I seriously love both places!
Contact: antonsclass1@gmail.com
As a South African , Namibia is a better country than SA , Namibia has a future , economically , the discovery of oil , the development of green hydrogen plant , and many more is going to put Namibia in an economically attractive position, it’s GDP per capita is going to be the highest in Africa due to its small population,
So it’s bound to be the most developed country on the continent
All that goes to the pocket of 0.1% group of people, the nation won't benefit
@@hicks288 stop with those assumptions, just say your family won’t benefit, don’t include others ,
@pushingp6945 is not assumptions corruption is high in Namibia and it is what it is.
@@hicks288 it’s high compared to who ??? Coz it doesn’t even fall on top 50 most corrupt countries in Africa so relax , what you call corruption is a mere drop in the ocean compared to others
@@pushingp6945 redo your research
I've lived in both countries and if I had a choice, I would live in Namibia with their conditions but in South Africa with their opportunities and facilities.
Namibia. Government is better, ppl r more free n friendly. Better peace in nam.
Namibia 🇳🇦 land of the brave. My country my pride
Thanks for the review Anton.. u did justice
South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho and Eswatini are one❤
I am Namibian,,,, did alot of travelling through out my country but I would choose SA, for more better opportunities and activities... But I will would stay in Namibia if I wana retire
Namibia over and over again ❤
Namibia is super clean
Namibia less population
Namibia scenery is breathtaking
Namibia roads are the best
Namibia media is upcoming
Namibia future prospects is thriving
Namibia is safe so less crime
Namibia is underrated in Africa
Namibia has lots of activities
Namibia is anti-LGBTQIA’s
Namibia my motherland
My beloved country ❤
Namibia are our brothers and sisters we love Namibia in SA
Namibia is really safe and we have loads of electricity ⚡️ so
We are glad to be a small population with a lot of electricity
Yes. I heard South Africa provides electricity to Namibia. Is that true?
Yes, it is true. 60-70% of Namibia's electricity comes from SA, Zim, Zambia and the regional pool. They do not get loadshedding because Eskom(in SA's case) has to meet its bilateral agreements obligations with them as customers first before the domestic market.
@@lebo5281 thanks for the info.
@@lebo5281 true. So we as Namibian need to be appreciative of this fact. This is why trying to compare our two countries is divisive for me. South Africans are our people.
@fixnamibia6221 I call Nam our twin. Nothing is foreign to me in WVB, warts and all... Everything is familiar. Liefde net❤️
don't compare us. We are one people. Choose where you want to live and enjoy. Competition is not our thing in SADC
😂😂😂😂
Comparing and contrasting countries is important for my community. Many ask me for this information to help them on their journey. It's all love! 🙏🏽
We're one indeed
The reasons why I don't see Namibia as a Country. 1) There were a free movement to Namibia from Namibia to South Africa ..2) During the 80's alord of children from South West (Namibia) was attending school in Upington, Keimoes ect...there were no restrictions at that time, no pastpoorts was needed..We have families on both sides..Who devided us..? The answer is Political greed for power...
Namibia 🇳🇦 🇳🇦 for me.
Anton please 😂😂😂 we have mountains in Namibia too. And beaches... You only went to Swakopmund 😂😂😂
Yes, There are mountains in Namibia too. 😆
Also Fish River Canyon. I will do more next time I visit!
Correction: Netflix does not have studios, they source films from independent film producers.
South Africa has a much bigger and better film industry than most countries in Africa.
Thank you for that correction!
Namibia is cleaner and less populated and it's soooo safe. I was almost mugged on my first visit in SA (joburg) and people advised me to put my phone away 😂😂😂
You're right. People told me to put my phone away in Joburg CBD.
Also keep in mind Jozi is an international City. People come from all over the world to try to make life there but if they fail they resort to everything to try to survive. Myself born and raised in the countryside. I rarely go to inner city Jozi. I prefer outskirts where crime is less.
@@tloutlou2655 I live in Sydney, the biggest city in Australia but the crime is nowhere near Johannesburg. The issue isn't "people from all over the world" or "other parts of the country" coming there, it's SA's huge unemployment rate and non-existent law enforcement.
@@joe_lubindacoming from all.counts a lot. Check other cities and town with homogeneous population crime is very low or no crime at all.. and probably and that Sidney of yours mist people speak English and majority are English. Unlike Jozi. Understand ball 11 languages of SA but in Jozi and Kempton I hear dont hear anything.
@@tloutlou2655 Typical South African, you blame your high crime levels on other nationals I'm guessing your leaders are shitty because they're foreign?
I've visited many countries all over the world and to me South Africa is the most beautiful country I have ever seen. Not in the city areas of course, but then again I prefer the countryside wherever I go. I am looking forward to visiting Namibia soon.
Definitely Namibia 🇳🇦
As a South African i believe South Africa 🇿🇦, Namibia 🇳🇦 and Botswana 🇧🇼 should set an example by abolishing passports and have free movement of people between the countries. These countries are beautiful, stable,less corrupt, good systems and democracies.
Well said thank you
Good idea! Thanks for sharing.
Stop lying you are not South African
EXACTLY THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
Abolishing passports means becoming one country. Also movement between those countries is not restricted to my knowledge. There's just less traffic compared to Zimbabwe and Mozambique for obvious reasons
A tie is more appropriate. We dont need visa from South Africa to nam. Now that im older id be comfortable in nam.
I am Namibian and I would like to see RSA, Botswana and Namibia come together and form a federal state. These are the three african countries that gives social grants to old people.
I’m not going to choose because as a Namibian, Namibia was a part of South Africa as you mentioned and most of us born before independence have or are eligible to the dual residency so they are both our countries. We could have been a country but instead we are a nation 🇳🇦🇿🇦 💪🏽💪🏽
Namibia was part of south africa from 1915 to 1990 when they got independence from south africa...they were one of our provinces administered from Pretoria for 70 years under apartheid...hence they speak Afrikaans...if they didnt get interdependence from south africa they would have been our 10th province...
Was a colony not part of yours,that occupation was already declared illegal by both UN and OAU plus others international organizations.
You are 💯 right 👌
I agree on the SA film industry more opportunities and more diverse natural landscapes. It is interesting to note what those from ourside our continent think about us. They may see the potential here that we overlook.
16:33 Maybe the reason you pass as both Namibian or South Africa is that both countries are multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-racial, so there is no real 'look'?
Yes. I believe that's why as well. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Wow another tourist giving us an insight into life in Africa !
Yes, as this video is for other "tourists" visiting Africa.
I was looking to visit Namibia 🇳🇦 & didn’t know that they weren’t affected by load shedding. Did you visit Cape Town at all on your SA visit? The air is clearer here compared to Jo-burg. Thanks for the info
Planning my Cape Town excursion soon! Thanks for engaging here. 🙏🏽
@@AntonsClasstry to visit the garden route as well
@@georgyporgy7252 that's literally my plan! Thanks for the tip.
@@AntonsClass I'm from George in the garden route........i would suggest taking the old roads down to wilderness as not everyone sees the older roads anymore and they are absolutely breathtaking.........most people just use the N2 (freeway) which is also beautiful as its along the coast but the old roads its like you in a rain forests
@@georgyporgy7252 thank you! I will look into that.
Hello dear brother, Its Assim here from instagram. Thanks for this very informative video. For me I will go for Namibia :D as a "second home". its kinda like my home in Nubia (north Sudan and south Egypt) maybe not as extreme as we can only live 3km from the Nile until the land become inhabitable. Big love to the most diverse, rich and beautiful continent of Afrika, the mother of earth, the birth of mankind. From Egypt to Cape Town, Afrikans are untied.
Thank you for sharing! Namibia is definitely a beautiful country.
@@AntonsClass btw brother I am sending you my top favorite Nubian folk songs to your email 📧 you better be excited about that 🙏🏼☺️🥂
@@assimgreen9806 absolutely! I would love it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
A quote from Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo during his trial in 1967, which led to his imprisonment alongside Mandela in Robben Island "'We are Namibians, and not South Africans. We do not now, and will not in the future, recognise your right to govern us; to make laws for us, in which we had no say; to treat our country as if it was your property and us as if you are our masters. We have always regarded South Africa as an intruder in our country. This is how we have always felt and this is how we feel now and it is on this basis that we have faced this trial."
I agree as a Namibian myself
Well, that Suid Afrika and this South Africa are two different states, the current SA has no desire to colonise Nam or disrespect its sovereignty.
Namibia was never part of South Africa. South Africa was given the responsibility to manage Namibia after WW1 by the League of Nations.
@@zabadackakaHansCoche😂 tell me you don't know the history without telling me.
There is a difference between apartheid and free South Africa.
S been a while... welcome back
Bro, ppl, tourists I'm in a Cape town South Africa. I escaped from a Pretoria apartheid jail
for subversive journalism - there were 2 attemps to shoot
me dead I escaped in lived n worked in Windhoek 88 -91 for times of Namibia. The apartheid regime had hit on me n I went tru Africa reaching Kenya n flew to London.
I'm going back to Windhoek because I miss the place. Namibia us on border of South Africa n could always visit
Wow! Incredible story. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Anton. It's been a while welcome back to your channel 😅😅😅 you were missed 😊😊😊
Hey, thanks!
I advocate for the unification of Namibia and South Africa into federal states, where wealth, agriculture, economy, and currency are shared.
Wow thats the best pronunciation of 'apartheid' from an American I've ever heard. 😂 Well done sir
Danm I never been to Namibia I was in Capetown South Africa really love it a lot but I’m planning my trip to Namibia from Canada is really far away I’m looking forward to go to Namibia
😂😂😂Anton please the airport is not that far
😂 it was to me lol
South Africa is the better choise as ir has both worlds. The Nothern cape province is like Namibia while Gauteng is the economic high development hub wit Durban and capetown giving you the ocean tourism.
Put pictures or videos in your next cast
I like Namibia but i have been to those two countries . I have so many reasons .Namibia is the best country to live in .
As a Namibian this is my take
Safety and security is for Namibia 🇳🇦
Infrastructure is for South Africa 🇿🇦
Opportunities is for South Africa 🇿🇦
Entertainment is South Africa 🇿🇦
Healthcare I would say South Africa 🇿🇦
Education is both Namibia 🇳🇦 and South Africa 🇿🇦
Namibia is like a mini South Africa, but overall South Africa is a better country.
Health care systems/ facilities are hear apart from collapsing public health care systems we have top notch private hospitals in Namibia, as long as one have the means to utilize them.Worked in safari industry industry for sometime and traveled widely,I prefer Namibia due to different reasons in SA one can't just part anywhere in Namibia is not much the case one does not always have to watch your back not that there's no crime but is minimal to say.
Yeah Siamese twins. Lol 🤣🤣🤣😂
Namibia is not mini South African it's country on it's own, please if don't have anything better to say about Namibia then be quiet.
No direct flights to Miami. As a South African living in South Florida i wish .
You really can't split the two, it entirely depends on what you prefer.
Namibia is the best
When I was younger, South Africa was my top choice to imigrate (tired of europe), but the violence...
Whose idea was it to devide Namibia from South Africa...The so called boarders devided us was done illegally so...There is boarder in Upington right at our door step. Between us and South West Africa ..hows that fair...Myself im a Nama ..
Which is better to live in: Botswana or Namibia?
Namibia!
NAMIBIA for me!!! RSA not anymore for me!
As a South African who has lived in the USA and travelled to Namibia I agree SA is filthy especially Jozi. Loadshedding has gotten worse so Namibia is winning. I just think as a Brother from USA the tribe issues are not problematic but as a South African Black living and making money in Namibia will be tough. Generally that is a problem in the continent we need to correct.
Namibia 🇳🇦
Hi guys South Africa is our big brother, stop throwing stones?
Bernadus Swartbooi know the History...the Landless movement in Namibia...Myself as Nāma is also have families in Namibia, today i need a passport visiting Namibia or those Namibians need also a passports visiting South Africa...and their relatives on both sides ..We were bn devided by this "Unlawfull boarder created
"by Political Power greed,Selfishness....and majority Tribal rule....
What about the smaller African countries they have a possibility of less chance of something in the future going to hit the fan economically and politically and societal mess
Namibia can be Dubai but they need to allow EFF of Namibia rule so they can own their minerals
Never compare South Africa and it's brother 😒
Good news! Namibia just launched a special military operation. They say their main goals are to absorb South Africa and to do so in 3 days. So it's one country now!
What BS is this SA are our big brothers we may even call on them if sit hit the fan,so there is no oneday we will take up arms to fight them or them to fight us.In the 90s Mandela said something about that when one country I won't mention tried to cause truable to us,and it still out believe that what he had said then still stand to today.
😂😂😂Soon soon
@@josephnakale7343yah this might be a joke 😂😂but I appreciate that Namibians also embrace the Positive brother and sister hood between the countries.
The 1st thing is NAMIBIA is semi-desert, VERY ARID...NO WATER, the towns are up to 500km's apart. SOUTH AFRICA is like the USA and has MANY CLIMATE ZONES, from sub-TROPICAL green misty KwaZulu & Mpumalanga Provinces, to Savannah Limpopo Province to Mediterraenian Western Cape to ARID Northern Cape, bordering ARID NAMIBIA. ❤ BOTH, but USA citizens will identify with South Africa much easier, unless from Arizona!
Namibia for sure
Namibia
South Africa All Day ❤
"Anton, chu chu chu that's unfair comparing the two!" Before you compare, please take into account our shared history and that Namibia was occupied by South Africa, over three different administrations, culminating only in 1990 (for SW Africa) and 1994 (Walvis Bay).
Namibia is a perfect country for some large african countries like nigeria and ethopia to settle in and help increase namibia populaiton.
Blk americans, caribbeas, South american blacks and Uk blacks would be perfect also to expat to namibia.
It's not only blacks.
Chinese and Indians are moving to Namibia as well. I. Fact there's a large Chinese Namibians in Namibia.
Namibia is very safe not little more safer in Africa
I really don't bite the comparison...Whose idea was it to declare Namibia as a Country .Atleast we know who was behind the idea of Botwana and Lesotho...???Our Nama Leader Hendrik Witbooi is from Pella in the Ncape....Why Namibia was seperated from us...from the Ncape even Wcape....there were no boarders between Namibia and Ncape..
NAMIBIA❤️🇳🇦
South Africa is the best place to be
We all know it's a lie
Namibia is more relaxed and probably whites are treated like kings and queens by our black sisters and brothers.
Namibia is a multi racial country. Recently there are many Chinese moving to Namibia and marrying Namibian women.
South Africa mother city
Brother Anton, South Africa is way more developed industrially and infrastructurally. Due to this two factors you cannot compare the two. Overall we love South Africans, those are our people.
There are many other things people consider when relocating abroad, though. Nature and climate being among them. It's my job to compare countries for my community, as they often ask for such information. Thanks for engaging, brother! Take care.
We love our brothers an sisters in Namibia too, including Botswana, Swatini and Lesotho'❤
South Africa:
- The cost of living is lower and affordable - cheaper houses, rent, cars, food, clothing, healthcare and just about everything.
- Wide range of services and products. Namibia and Botswana import 90% of their goods from South Africa.
- Many business and work opportunities
- Transparent visa and permit system. Investor friendly. Easy to set up business there.
- Many beautiful women, there is never a shortage (Am not gonna lie, South African hookers are attractive, curvaceous and affordable) 😂😂
- Lots of entertainment and social scenes
......
😂😂😂😂 Nollywood scenes are crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i barely watch them... The Nigerian accent 😢 hmmm
For reals!! Their movies are crazy 🤣
Accent!!! Are you kidding me...South Africa has a terrible accent. What I expected you to point out is the midrange movies seem too average. Nevertheless, there are Alist movies and like Nigerian music they are far more rated globally
@@rex-kevinokeke8040south africa has too many accents brother while Nigerian English accent is the same
@@trayway3014 South African blacks same way. They don't sound any different unless you are talking race.
As regards Nigeria your assumption is wrong. We have over 300 languages and ethnic groups far too much for a more monocultural black South Africa and our accent differ based on these ethnic lines. It's just you assuming things based on movies and music exclusively with too little research
@@rex-kevinokeke8040 nah ur 200% wrong bruh, SA blacks have more than 11 accents.Some are Model c accents, Some colored accents, some are influenced by our Native Langauges. Some blacks hve Indian accents.even someone from Jozi don't speak the same as some one from Cape Town Model c. But Pidgin English all sounds the same to us
Weather or not it is controversial or fair to compare two countries or a number of countries , it is something that needs to be done, we have to allow for the recognition that we each has an bias that colours our individual view and decisions when the final choice is made .
I have been to both Countries😊 still do to this day. If theres ever a country in Africa that is exactly like south Africa is "Namibia" the people,services, entainment,religion Government structure is the same. Namibia is South Africa😅 4real.
16:27 Safest African countries ranking list.
😂😂..Lets apply common sence here... Namibia still remain a Province of South Africa ..Namibia are very mush linked to South Africa Namibia and Ncape are basically one Province..
We are not the same as south africans..even our mindsets,dignity,and self respect is different...south africans have hate from decades ago of apartheid..that hate they project on so many tings and people..a continues cycle that have further stimulated crimes,corruption and endless division amongst their own people..we are not the same..Namibians are so impartial with the anatomy of life..what life is and how life should be treated as individuals.i however highly appreciate the superb infrastructures in SA and the endless opportunities they have..yes! SA definitely is top notch on that..but the real flex is having a decent respectful nation that doesn't destroy their own due to oppression and hate from apartheid..
@@sonyamentile4747 ..Not true...South Africans have families in Namibia ...Children from Namibia used to attend School in Upington Keimoes, Kakamas...We shared similarities and have alord in common...Unless you are fimiliar with our History especially the Nama history...So the hatred of decades ago I really don't know about such hatred you talk about...Namibia was not a Separate Country ...Hendrik Witbooi a Nama Captain who fought against the Germans was born in Pella..There were no boarder restrictions..My brother in-law is from Keetmans...
The Namas, Koranas,Kwê and Damara people of Namibia are related to Namas, Koranas, Kwê and Damara people in South Africa. Same background same history same culture ect...Yes even in South Africa there alord of hatred amongs different Nations...It mostly started after 1994 when one group wants to claim everything and dominate other groups...
We must just do away with this new created boarders of 1976 between SA & Namibia... because it took alord of our Farm land away .in Kâi-garib Kakamas, Upington...We were not bn consulted with for Namibia's Independency...It was a Political desision involved ANC and SWAPO...and other stakeholders ....A population of 2.6million People...common Bru...let's be one as it was before....
Let go.
Botswana is better
impossible to go and live in Nam as they dont let come to people live there long term - even for South Africans and who in their right mind would move to RSA its falling to bits and extremely dangerous JoBurg is the murder capital of the planet!!!!!!!!!!
travel in Namib involves long distances between small towns and its difficult to get to places like Etosha Fish River Dune 45 Skeleton Coast yourself After I told people what I did in RSA they were astounded I wasnt attacked and killed ( for good reason )

I’m not going to choose because as a Namibian, Namibia was a part of South Africa as you mentioned and most of us born before independence have or are eligible to the dual residency so they are both our countries. We could have been a country but instead we a nation 🇳🇦🇿🇦 💪🏽💪🏽
