Greetings!
There are not too many people here that know I'm from Africa, but there are good friends I've made on this site these past years and I love it that people are connected by way of the Internet. Living in Africa is sometimes great, sometimes challenging and sometimes plain unpleasant. I live in the north east of the country west Johannesburg. Soweto is about 30km and Pretoria around 60km. Now we are getting bouts of rain with sunshine and some more rain. Although it is summer and we do have some of our hottest days, we have much hotter days during the dry season after winter. I live out of town but work in the Sandton district of Johannesburg. South Africa has two faces. on the one side you have a strong working class and elites and on the other the poor. There are first world parts and then there are third world parts. Some drive a car, others take a taxi and then others own horses and use a cart. Roads can vary from top quality in the city to pot holed roads with a bad surface. In terms of infrastructure I think we're much better off then say Botswana or Mozambique, we have first world standard facilities but it is mostly near the cities. The land varies from the warm tropical humid Indian Ocean coasts to the stark beaches of the cold Atlantic coast, the natural beauty of the Cape, Cape point, Agulhas point, KNysna, the Garden Route, Eastern Cape, Kwazulu-Natal, St. Lucia Estuary, Northern Zululand, The Karoo, the Highveld, the Lowveld, the Kalahari and the Bushveld. The abundance of wildlife and some the greatest national parks in Africa. I can't possibly tell you everything, but over time, I hope to share with you more about South Africa and Africa. Well, until next time, i bid you farewell. Tot siens! (which is how you'd say bye in Afrikaans) |
