Most won't grasp the food part and I concur with you. When I moved to the US I had to cut out a lot of meat especially chicken because it just doesn't taste like chicken (atleast to me). I also experienced a lot of health issues once I left South Africa and that included being lactose intolerant, uterine fibroids and everything else. I really do believe it's the food we consume here in the USA. Glad that you love South Africa.

I agree with the meat and dairy in the US . I cut down eating it because of adverse effects. My visit to SA I ate lots of meat and dairy especially the ice cream and feta cheese ! I was in heaven . South Africans are in the promise land for sure ❤️

As South African I'm glad that you had a great time and came back . I pray that you relocate this side and make it home for you and your family ❤️

Hi Denise I am Thelma Smith a 67 year old woman. I am so glad I came across your channel just to let you know you & your husband is welcome with open arms to South Africa. We love our country very much & we believe that we have the most beautiful country in the world because of our people. Our people here in South Africa has the most respectful & friendly people around. But just know one thing I might not know you but I can truely say I love you beautiful woman & this comes from my heart in JESUS name. Amen

I like watching videos like this especially when it let's people people know about how Africa is, not only South Africa. I'm so happy that you enjoyed your stay in our country South Africa, thank you so much for visiting ♥️.

I'm happy to hear that I promise you if your intentions are good and South Africa 🇿🇦 will be good to you

Thank you very much for loving my country

When Trevor Noah says traffic lights are just a suggestion, he wasn't joking 😀 Ah you said "braai" and not barbecue...We do not barbecue here 😊

I am always critical of my country South Africa, but watching videos like this make me realize that we still doing good, but I just want my government not to drop the ball instead I hope we become better and not relax thinking that we are almost there I just wish my government learn from other countries like South Korea, chine, Qatar, and mostly Japan. And thank you so much for saying the positive about our country. We love you from 🇿🇦

The food in SA is mostly organic and grown within the country.

Thank you for visiting South Africa

Ahhh Man U making me so emotional. I remember growing up I wanted to move to America as an au pair but now I wouldn’t relocate for any reason!!! I love my country so so much, it’s not all perfect but oh man we got the sauce down here. ❤❤❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

No lies detected. Fantastic review about our country. Thank you Dee.

Hi Denise. Love your video. I am a South African living in the Cayman Islands and I also found the US food concerning. Anyways pls try the South coast and the area from Knysna to Port Alfred.

Hi young woman I can say in your video you really killed it. What a wonderful explanation about South Africa. I really came into tears when you speak about my motherland the way you say it. Especially our humar because that's how we are raised tought from word go how you carry yourself in public. You do otherwise then people will talk about you how you dismannered you are. It's African. I am born and bred is SA. I don't wanna live anywhere except Africa.

Another proudly South African here to show love and appreciation for your pointing out the plenty good that is in S. A - we really love it here! 🎉🇿🇦🥂 im an 80s baby and we have been consuming so much American content from childhood so to see Americans, especially black Americans, diggin on our country feels so good 😁😂 its like your longest crush ever finally giving you attention 🥰🥰

As a south african i would love to thank you for the beautiful content about our country. Your ancestors once walked the same land that you walked during your trip. Which was that exciting feeling you felt when you landed. Your cells could finally heal from the tremors of the past, and finally breath the same air you once breath as an ancestor living in africa. She is calling for you guys. Come back

😂😂 The traffic officers would also give you a ticket in South Africa if they saw you yield instead of coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. We just have a bad habit of yielding and moving along if there aren't a lot of cars/traffic on the road.

Good morning Denise. You have just gained yourself a new subscriber ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 i appreciate your honesty and love for our country

Sista; there is a special kind of feeling that you get barely 24hrs when you land on South African shores and one doesn't get it anywhere else. For me; it's the People. No matter where you go; it's almost impossible to accept anything less. People there genuinely care about others; even strangers. And of course there are flaws; but the good far outweighs the bad. The best of all; you really feel like a HUMAN - a feeling we take for granted everyday. Take your time; moving to a new country is no small feat. May be there is no reason to even move permanently yet. Greetings ...y'all

Thanks for sharing Denise❤ We love that you had a great experience in South Africa.

lol the roads are crazy. als oin cape town we at least have our traffic lights operating with some other power source when the power is off

I can tell you were very close to Midrand, the lack of stopping at stop signs is uniquely theirs. The rest of us yield only at areas we we consider "a bit dangerous". Of course, Durban has its own challenges when the traffic lights go off. 😂 We look forward to having you here more often! ❤

I hope you and your boo can visit Namibia

You're right about our food and how it assists with losing weight without going to the gym. Theres a KZread called Mansa Mayne who stayed here for a year. 2 month before he left we noticed that he lost weight, his been back in the US for about 6 months now and he gained weight again. So you don't lose weight in a negative way, it's just that our food is organic and doesn't have chemicals and additives so you'll lose all the unhealthy weight. Also the area in Midrand (Waterfall City) is a fairly new area and has not been fully developed yet. Also English is the first language in schools and is the country's business language so 95% of the population can speak it, you shouldn't struggle with communicating at all. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and you'll be welcomed back with open arms.♥️

Come too KwaZulu natal and experience the Zulu hospitality.

In S.A if you don't see a traffic officer you use a stop sign as a yield sign. You only do a complete stop if the other person got there before you and they need to cross. That's common sense wouldn't you say?
