@sekatimangena2671 Ask Stephen Nduku to do those videos not me, I am only reacting to what is depicted in this video. His caption of the video says where the super rich live in Jozi, it is not me who has said that. I don't need to travel to see anything, I can do it comfortably in the comfort of my home through videos on social media and google map. Again, I have traveled and lived in the developed world so I know what a rich country looks like. There are rich suburbs and estates all over Nairobi with natural greenery/canopy of trees. Nairobi itself is called the green city in the sun because of its lush vegetation complete with two natural forests and a huge national park within the city limits not to mention other green spaces. I don't doubt Jozi has some of the most expensive, luxurious real estate in Africa, all I said was based on what is depicted by the video, it is not necessarily out of the league of what I see in rich areas of Nairobi. The video is also about Jozi not Cape Town and personally for me I wouldn't be interested in a city that still feels like apartheid South Africa with its clear segregation of people based on race.

@ntokozov8667 So what if they are 10 years old? Is what is depicted about them not factual? Stephen has teamed up with a SAn YouTuber who does real estate and I'm sure he is the one who has shown him around.

@sekatimangena2671 Kenyans will never be ashamed of their country, we are the most patriotic in all Africa our shortcomings notwithstanding. At least we don't live in a country where we feel like second class citizens with little ownership of the wealth. Even those expensive, luxurious suburbs are white dominated in SA. At least in Kenya, 99% of rich people in rich neighbourhoods are black Kenyans.

@sekatimangena6640 Jozi is also bigger than a lot of international cities more famous and richer than Jozi. After all, Nairobi metropolitan area extends to 4 neighbouring counties only that it has fixed administrative boundaries. I am only reacting to what is shown in the video as the places where the super rich live in Jozi, not my word but the channel owner.

@sekatimangena2671 You realise I am reacting to a video, it is not my video. As per the video, those are the estates or whatever you want to call them depicted as residences for super rich. It is not me saying that but the uploader of the video. By city size, Jozi is bigger than Nairobi but they have pretty much the same population number which means Nairobi is denser than Jozi. Jozi is a sprawling city, Nairobi is an urban core. As for the metro area, what is considered Nairobi metro in Kenya is not defined because Nairobi city which is also a county on its own, its metro region spills over to 4 other counties and taken together the 4 counties plus Nairobi has an area of 32,000 sq kilometres, roughly the size of Lesotho with 10M+ plus inhabitants.

@ienware They are all below New York. New York and London are he most significant cities in the world. They are both categorised as Alpha ++ global cities. Do a bit of research before having an opinion.
1
@ienware What are?
1
@ienware For me Dubai is soulless, artificial, hot and with zero greenery. Good for a quick visit only. Moscow is so cold I don't think I can live there plus it is a closed society politically speaking. Cape Town is stunning but the legacy of apartheid is too obvious plus too windy. By all standards, CT is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. But to answer your question, I still prefer my city Nairobi than all of them.
1
@ienware Yes maybe even better than you. Do you know what a legacy means?
1
@sekatimangena2671 I like imparting knowledge, curing ignorances, shedding light on nuances etc. But yes, I love and defend my country not by being necessarily partisan but factual.

 @tshepishochuene1280 All you have to do is search Kenya real estate and stop laughing like a pregnant Kangaroo!
1
@angiefromnairobi Why should he? I am Kenyan and he's 100% right. Our real estate can compete with some of that in SA. And the greenery in Nairobi's rich neighbourhoods beats what I have seen here. If you care to find out, the owner of this channel has done real estate in Nairobi and compared it to that of Lagos and he didn't even have the advantage of seeing the neighbourhoods upclose like he did in Jozi since most of the rich neighbourhoods don't allow flying of drones in their neighbourhoods. Check the video out instead of dismissing things off hand.

@viriacssa2003 Slums that also exist in SA despite all the mineral wealth. With the income/wealth inequality that is the worst in the world. Tell me another one.
1
@sekatimangena2671 Who is all Nairobians? Eish there's a whole world out there to be explored and compared with. In this era of information age, do I have to really visit a country to know how it is? Do you know there are people who will pick one country over another just on security/crime aspect alone? What has been shown in these pictures is not necessarily a preserve of SA, rich people and neighbourhoods exist everywhere.

@wahwah7701 You are talking of specifics and I am talking of generalities. Of course there are black SAns millionaires who have benefited through black empowerment programmes, government corruption and maybe a few from business. But majority of the millionaires and the top richest people are white SAns who are disproportionately owners of capital and wealth in SA. Majority of millionaires in Kenya are black Kenyans since there's insignificant white population in Kenya and their investments. In other words, majority of Kenyan wealth is by black Kenyans and that of SA is by white SAns.
1
@wahwah7701 Black empowerment programmes, yes. But how many people has it benefited? Isn't the ANC being accused of corruption with those BEE programmes? Fact is, it has benefited a few trusted loyals like the Motsepe's and Ramaphosa's and their cronies with the vast majority of black SAns left out. Also remember, SA economy has stagnated in the last 10 years and even regressed in the Covid years. In that same time, Kenya's economy has doubled.

@wahwah7701 Why is it blocking? Maybe just a network issue because I also experienced it. Was getting error message when trying to post a comment.
1
@friedafarmboys7491 Maybe you should have told me what he means by that? I'm sure you don't know what EFF's ideology is, you haven't read its manifesto and clearly you have a problem reading plain English. "White monopolistic capital" means exactly that. Take your ignorance to somebody you share the ignorance with....

@moetikitso72 Take these concerns to the person who recorded this video. The fact that you are even bragging about Stellenbosch and what it represents just shows what sad a society SA is. For your information, Kenya's central rift valley used to be called "white highlands" during colonial period because it offered English countryside landscape. The Kenyan highlands with its sweeping tea farms and greenery looks very much like English countryside. You can always research and look it up since you can't afford to travel. You asked who wants to come to Kenya, well millions of tourists visit Kenya every year. What Cape Town doesn't have is some of the world's best beaches with white sand and warm water that Kenya and East Africa coast has in abundance. Sit down clown!

@Marysmmiiith And who said we are concerned with you? If this video was not uploaded by Steven who I follow and has done a similar video about Kenya, I wouldn't be commenting here. So you expect because the video is about SA his subscribers outside of SA should not comment? Are you this dumb?
1
@nontozamoluqhide3828 You people say the dumbest things ever. There are 47 counties in Kenya, each with its own government, so you think people there live on trees?
1
@nontozamoluqhide3828 Number one in Africa on what exactly? I also know you are number one in unemployment, inequality, crime, people on grants, GBV, xenophobia etc.
1
@Justampleboy I'm glad you noticed but SAns here believe the best in Africa starts and ends with them. You are right the supporting infrastructure like access roads and orderliness seems better in SA neighbourhoods but the greenery in Nairobi is better and natural. Also places like Westlands and Upper Hill in Nairobi can rival that of Sandton and other business districts if they upgraded their infrastructure. But these people who have never left their countries live in their own bubbles.
1
@lungamadoda6992 What doesn't come close? You think what is depicted in this video is the best there is in SA? If it is, then I've seen better in Kenya.
1
@lungamadoda6992 First things first, don't call me honey, I'm not your man. Secondly, where is the infrastructure and architecture story coming in on a video about some rich people homes and their locales? If you cared to read through the thread and the comments, nowhere have I said we are more developed than SA, in fact I have conceded on that issue though that was not the point of the video. But since you want us to discuss countries, let's start with yours. SA with all its minerals and economic headstart is the most unequal country in the world, with the highest unemployment in Africa, with half of its population on government grants, with unparalleled crime and insecurity, highest gender based violence including rapes not to mention 17 years of loadshedding and counting. A country that is dominated economically and through land ownership by the white minority and a failing government in ANC. Kenya with zero minerals is the biggest economy in East and Central Africa, largest non mineral economy in Africa and its economy is largely owned by locals. Nairobi is a global city that was ranked the best in Africa and 12th in the world by expats in 2021. In the same survey Jo'burg was ranked last in Africa and 55/57 in the world, go figure! In 2024, Lonely Planet ranked Nairobi as the best city to visit in the whole world. Your ignorant selves think nothing exists in Africa outside of SA. I can tell you this for free, per capita, Kenyans are the most educated and probably more exposed than any country in Africa. You having been to Nairobi/Kenya doesn't validate or invalidate anything. I was in SA in 2011, I've lived in Australia for 5 years, been to more than 7 countries so when I write about something I know exactly what I am talking about. You can't tell me what development and infrastructure is, I've lived that life.

@SA_CrimeWatch Good. That's why the average black SAn is as poor as any average black African anywhere plus being second class citizens in their own country. So what exactly are you celebrating here?
1
@WNdaba Inferiority complex only exists where the majority are subjugated by the minority! Go figure!
1
@hopes9451 Address yourself to the video as I have. Whatever ANC has done is not my problem, that's for your politics and that's why you have an election coming up.
1
@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c No one cares about your feelings or what your favourite countries are. Detox your brain as well.
1
@truesouth6532 So what is your point exactly? What is so hard about addressing yourself to the video? Am I the one who made the video? Do you know Kenyan rich neighbourhoods are black unlike in SA where they are predominantly white? Do we start talking about who owns the economy in Kenya compared to SA. If we take this line of argument to its logical conclusion, black SAns will be embarrassed. So stop it.
1
@truesouth6532 You are talking of the few black elite that has benefited mostly through corruption under BEE programme? No wonder poor black SAns in their millions have rejected ANC because most of them are still trapped in abject poverty even after Apatheid. Remember you are the most unequal country in the face of the earth and with the highest unemployment in Africa even when you scream SA is rich. Black SAns need a reality check and not ride on riches that is domiciled in white minority hands.

Lol, should we also look away when we are at home in Amboseli with the best views of the mountain that was stolen from us and given to Tanzania? Toa Bongolala hapa aisee....

 @tanzanite9944 Why do you think it is called Mt Kenya? Kilimanjaro is near Kenya than it is for the most part of Tanzania. Mlima iko kwenye border bongolala wewe.
