"Starter kit for the real Africa" and "I almost got killed by a motorist - no pedestrian right of way in Johannesburg", and (... "The 'curviest' women" - real meaning the most unhealthy, overweight steatite women) are hardly a positive review my friend.

Lol. That all surface level stuff. Our country is actually heading in the right direction when you look closely at the trending negatives things going on in it.. Remember me in about 10 years time. Things are purposely falling and being torn apart and making room for a more efficient economy. And it can't happen on the cracked foundation we've been trying to rebuild it on since 1994. A Coalition government is around the corner and it will be a huge mess for a few years. Then slowly stabilise as the years progress. Our country cannot be run by one party anymore but together they can be more efficient because each has their own unique strengths where the other might not be good at. Watch this beautiful mess turn into a real powerhouse in about 10years.

I think pedestrians do have right of in the ZAR, I think the plugs as well as the side u drive on the road follow British standards, and load shedding problems did not happen in the past(problem is two decades of close to weak governance), but I like this video and the opinions shared. Try visiting other cities in SA like Cape town next.

There is stages to the loadshedding, we are currently in stage 5 , my are is from 8am till 10:30am sometimes it’s 8am to 12 or later depending on the stages
Loadshedding isn’t all year round. It comes and goes. We can go months without loadshedding sometimes.

And those curves are all natural😌
where is this cover market at the end of the video please?
I haven't heard anyone else mention that we should be very careful when trying to cross the street. Great tip!
@7:15 the top is the new standard for South Africa and the bottom the old standard. The new standard is more compatible with more regions, however there is no deadline for the adoption of the new standard and more likely to have it at more expensive places. So it is best to travel with a plug adaptor for South Africa which you can get at any of the major airports.
Team curve lovers lol yeah, we out here.

Sawubona to you. California had these blackouts too way back. One can download an App to keep track of loadshedding hours. It sends notifications. The pedestrian has right of way at official crossings, but we have a lot of Rambos. The good thing is that we all controbute to a Road Accident Fund, and they pay if you hit a pedestrian. If the person dies you get into trouble, especially if you’ve had a few drinks - then you are off to jail.
