Norwood looks litter free in 2022, I lived here many years ago, it's very close to Houghton, keep it up
In the suburbs people don't walk around their neighborhoods much, they use cars.
The Shwarma Company, food is amazing! Very interesting hearing and experiencing the country through the eyes of a tourist. Lots to see throughout the country, I hope you have plenty of time. Safe travels.
Wow the city is so clean!!
This reminds me of my teen years, I used to ride my bike around Norwood. I grew up in a suburb call Glenhazel not to far from there👍

Cool area Joburg is so awesome 👊🏿
You should visit Sandton City (Mall) briefly, then take the Gautrain to Pretoria.. walk to the city centre, then take a taxi (those 'vans') or Uber up to Hatfield Plaza/Square (passed the American Embassy). Check out the University of Pretoria student vibe there, then hit the local Gautrain station there for a ride back to Joburg. Pretoria is our capital city, just about 40 mins minutes north of Joburg in the late afternoon. Best executed on a Friday because a lot of people will be out and about, coming from work as well as getting the weekend going.
I wish you good luck & BEST wish to tours around Johannesburg City, South Africa in joy September of 2022.Thanks you so much for this great video in 2022!
9:30 😍😍maaaaaaan I like how that place is made of shipping containers daaaaamn so amazing
Hi Sly. I hope you are enjoying your stay in South Africa. I last saw you travelling in South America. You should let me show you around.
What up brother. I've noticed you like views, which is great. My suggestion is go to Northcliff Ridge in a suburb of Northcliff for better views of the city. Around October it's even more majestic with the city covered in purple from the Jacaranda trees flowers.
Great run of docu-videos, very informative & good to see a brother embracing the culture! Thank you.
Johannesburg is one of the BEST city in South Africa & across the African continent in September of 2022!
I wish you safe journey in Johannesburg, South Africa this week in September of 2022.I hope you really love the city in 2022!
It's currently the beginning of summer in South Africa... And yes Johannesburg is huge... But u must also visit other cities and perhaps rural areas
I would like to say that even for a local R160 is quite affordable for the meal.

NORWOOD is next to an another awesome Johannesburg suburb called HOUGHTON. As for MELVILLE which is quite far away from Norwood and Houghton, Melville is more of UJ (University of Johannesburg) living area. Thanks showing us your visit to these places. Love it! 💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🤝
Enjoyed the walkabout as Jozi born and bred. Norwood has a great Indian restaurant and if it survived Covid, there is also a great Ethiopian restaurant. Pity these suburbs are so quiet, though both are probably more active in the evenings for socialising
Enjoy bro, those used to be my streets 👊🏿
Dude, you have probably seen more of Josies than me, and I live here…safe travels.
dope content as always#100
You should visit Lesotho
I've been to Jozi so many times and I never been there or heard of that place 😁.....just to show that Jozi is really big and spreaded out. I'm looking forward returning in January. I'll be going to Zimbabwe for the first time as well. If you have been to Zimbabwe, do you have any recommendadation or to do list for Harare area? Is there a fee to enter the country? As far as I seen on their state department is the passport only to enter. Great video and thank you for sharing.
Melville. We used to call it the "Student Village" back in the early 2000's
Damn! Melville was my spot back in the day.
I wish you good luck & Best wishes to you in joy to tours around Johannesburg City,South Africa September of 2022!
You are blessed.
The food looks interesting, what was it?
I love Norwood!
Ok. Good luck.
Come Pretoria to see what a clean developed city is🤫
Be safe, Jo'burg can be tricky.
Thank you for doing downtown johannesburg,it used to be the best city in South Africa,clean and no markets like that.vendors were invited on some weekends and they would have their merchandise of course it was most handcrafted stuff and unique things that you buy from department stores.all Africa is down there which a beautiful thing,they are trying to find a better life for themselves,but not all means well….and yes please be safe!?. I watch your videos and love how you through the city like we used to.Carlton center was the best,I mean upscale!.

Norwood is a very Jewish area. Melville is a hip town, a lot of varsity students hang out there. Johannesburg is only 140 years old, but accounts for 13% of Africa's GDP. In 1895 the city prodiced more gold than the USA. It has the largest main made suburban forest in the world with the best weather and friendly people.
that street with the bars be good at night on the weekend, a lot of women
Danke, is X you same as German ND Holland

Afrikaans is pretty much Dutch. But in a simplified version. Anyone who speak dutch (Netherlands) technically speak afrikaans. The pronouncing is pretty much the same, just the writing is a bit different. This language is also spoken in Namibia.

It's called Orania and is some distance from JHB. Built on the site of an old government made town housing workers to build HF Verwoerd Dam, currently gariep dam, once the dam was completed an Afrikaaner community bought the land for a song and moved in. Important points here it's an Afrikaaner town, not a white town. To be considered for residency there you must be Afrikaaner and Christian. No unmarried couples allowed and probably no LGBT people either. The community has spent 30 years building a town based upon Christian values not racial lines. It is one of few municipalities running without a deficit and exports agricultural products around the world. It's status is protected by the RSA constitution. If you want a similar comparison think about the Amish communities or Hasidic communities in the USA.

Just to give you a heads up, be careful about their tap water 😁😅🤣😂...Not all areas are safe to drink. I've learned that early this year. I came home with a bad case of diarrhea 💩💩💩💩.....The bottle water is a better option.

Actually South Africa is ranked as the 3rd in the world's most cleanest water, the diarrhea was probably our clean fresh water draining out all that dirt you've been drinking in the US.
