PLEASE! tell me most of you didn't go to school because that's the only excuse i see for such ludicrous statements, some villages in Nigeria are missing their idiots seriously, stop posting on here because you are trying to lie to us. almost everyone in southern 3 nations ( south Africa, Namibia and Botswana ) has t.v. and internet , you can't lie to us dammit!!! 1) south africa - is has occurred so many times that it should be an argument of no. 2-5 2) Botswana 3) Namibia 4) Gabon 5) Tunisia that's the official list as of 2010 December south africa is comparable to the united states to that weird confused guy that claims to be American conurbations are large cities that have grown so big they have merged with other large cities. often when they merge EGDEcities form with their own CBDs etc. south africa is the only nation on the continent with conurbations the province of gauteng is just city now as Johannesburg - Pretoria and Vereenerging cities have merged - this vast city is about 300km from the west rand area to the east rand area and about 400km from the very north in Pretoria to the vaal in the south, TRY COMPARING THAT TO ANY HAMLET IN YOUR COUNTRIES, its larger than most usa cites only beaten by the extremely large boswash mega conurbation ( which are conurbations that have merged) in the north east (new york, new jersey Boston area) the other conurbation is the durban - pietermaritzburg merge and right next to that the merging of the 99 coastal resort town of the south coast that have merged with durban, thats at least 150 km inland to pmb and from south coast to new international airport about 400km , very big!!!!! i write this to try and make you guys see that there is no comparison, south africa is even see as being not part of africa, because you guys bring us down in terms of life expectancy and HDI but its chilled we are all African its healthy competition just go out there and make a difference in you countries, change begins with you! Botswana shouldn't really be called a giant ( god bless our sister) with Nigeria too. (95.76%) of GDP on oil  that's not good.the year a south african inventor or someone else invents a cleaner cheaper way of fuel, which is comming soon, your economy will basically retract by 95 percent and you will make 0 that year, UAE was in a similar boat but they hve switched to toursm, don't brag about a polutant that has killed your true beauty of your country, your forest and delta!!!!!!!! anyway, i hope i've shut you up now! p.s someone on here compared shopping centers, LMAO! someone clearly hasn't bean to south africa, we have the 6 of the top 10 in the southern hemisphere, including the largest in the southern hemisphere and in the top 1000 in the world we feature 57 time, no other country in africa features on that list, please!!! don't show us your ignorance, before someone comments on that - gateway theater of shopping (not mall) , google it! |

@akzon m Nigeria has the "Dutch Disease" that is why we are trying to diversy now. But we import almost everything. We need to start manufacturing once our power gets good. Tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing are our future. We also need to invest in Sports. With more investing in that comes more jobs and less crime. Those kidnappers need to stop because it will drive away tourism. |

gadogado: @mrcracklesthey are not in nigeria becos not many of them got money to buy return ticket. Most SAs are not happy with their country just as other africans are not happy with theirs. They have the option of going to other parts of the world where they can have a better life. But they dont go! And i wonder why. Could it be that it doesnt occure to them to go out or is it that they do not have money to travel |

it's appalling how very low we rate nija, when most of these countries hold us in awe. Can botswana face sw nija in a war fare? Can namibia face south east or south west? Ghana has only accra as a major city that can compete with enugu in se, the other towns are secondi-takoradi and kumasi, both of which can't be compared to awka, smallest state capital in south east. cote d'lvoire has abidjan as the major city, port harcourt can compete favorably with abidjan 1 Like |

@Londoner [b]THE RAINBOW NATION Durban's 'white' suburbs are now 'black' It is official: the affluent formerly white suburbs of Kloof and Durban North are now dominated by black Africans, and townships like KwaMashu and uMlazi are sparsely scattered with white residents. Senior ANC leaders visited Nelson Mandela at his home in Houghton a few weeks after he was discharged from hospital. ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa and chairwoman Baleka Mbete stand behind President Jacob Zuma and Mandela. The 2011 National Census results, broken down into suburb-specific detail, were released yesterday, and the key migratory patterns observed throughout the country since the previous census in 2001 are just as prevalent in KwaZuluNatal, as a stronger black middle class emerges. The figures show that there are now almost 16 000 black Africans living in Kloof, as opposed to just more than 10 000 white residents. Black Africans make up 54 percent of Kloof residents, while coloureds, Indians and whites account for just 1, 11 and 34 percent respectively. In Durban North, black Africans also outnumber their white counterparts, although not by much, making up 37 percent of the population, compared with 32 percent. The Indian population in Durban North is also closing in on that of whites, now at 25 percent. Dr Arulsivanathan Naidoo, the head of Stakeholder Relations at Stats SA, said yesterday that this trend mirrored that which was taking place throughout South Africa. "Since the start of our democracy until 2001, when the previous census was held, there was not much change in terms of migration patterns and suburb population dynamics. However, in the 10 years from 2001 until 2011, the last census, there has been a lot of change, and this recent census is the first real accurate count between those two points." Naidoo said that the black Africans that were moving into the formerly white suburbs were bringing with them higher incomes and education levels. Black Africans were also catching up to the numbers of their white counterparts in Westville and Morningside. Chatsworth is still dominated by Indians, who make up 60 percent of the population, but 38 percent - or 75 004 residents - are now black Africans. The statistics also show that KwaMashu, although having a 99 percent black African population, also has 145 white residents. A total of 1 457 Indian and 303 coloureds also live in KwaMashu. Similarly, uMlazi, with a total population of over 400 000, has 285 white, 999 Indian and 578 coloured residents. Durban's statistics also showed that 48 percent of both uMhlanga and Hillcrest residents had completed some higher education, followed by 47 percent of Westville residents. Higher education levels in KwaMashu, uMlazi, Phoenix and Chatsworth ranged from 9 to 12 percent. However, KwaMashu households have the highest percentage of married residents over the age of 16, with 97 percent. By comparison, only 82 percent of Morningside households are occupied by married couples. Naidoo said the latest census statistics at suburb level showed a decrease in the number of people in South Africa living without basic essentials such as water and electricity. "The quality of life generally has improved throughout the country, with more people now having access to basic services," he said. However, there were still small pockets of people who had not seen an improvement in their living standards. The Mercury Posted at 08:36AM Apr 30, 2013 by Editor in Durban |[/b] |

Joburg plans to be Africa’s ‘New York” June 9 2013 at 09:35am By SAPA Comment on this story Joburg . Related Stories Shorter Joburg-Durban route on cards Woman killed in Joburg accident Joburg factory on fire Joburg kidnap ring bust, 29 victims found Johannesburg - City authorities in Johannesburg, South Africa's economic hub, have unveiled an ambitious plan to undo urban inequalities of the apartheid era and turn the continent's wealthiest city into the “New York of Africa”. City mayor Parks Tau says the 10-year scheme, which is set to cost some $10 billion (7.5 billion euros), will lead to a “new era” for Johannesburg and its 4.4 million inhabitants. Plans are on the cards for an extensive new road and railroad network, better houses and revamped buildings to spruce up the city, originally built on a gold rush in the late 19th century. The inspiration for change is the cosmopolitan New York City in the United States, with its attractive bridges, roads and efficient subway network and parks. “We are re-inventing the city of Johannesburg,” Tau said. “We are turning this city into a New York of Africa,” he added. Officials say the project will correct urban planning dating back to white minority rule, which pushed designated black areas to the outskirts of the city, with poor access to transport and other infrastructure and services. “This is a major step in reversing the inequalities caused by the apartheid regime,” Tau told AFP. In some cases, commuting between the city centre and northern suburbs currently takes up to nearly two hours. A network of enhanced public transportation enabling people in outlying areas to make connections by trains, buses and taxis will be established, together with cycle paths. Alison Todes of the University of Witwatersrand's School of Architecture argues that the time has come for an efficient transport system that will also help reduce the city's carbon footprint. “The city is quite spread out and a lot of people use private cars. Less travel time and less cars on the road will also be good for the environment,” Todes said. The launch three years ago of a high speed train service linking Johannesburg and the administrative capital Pretoria was a milestone in providing efficient public transport. But the train serves limited routes and high fares make it inaccessible to the bulk of the working class, who rely on crowded privately-run minibus taxis and ageing state-owned metro trains. “Our economy is growing, so we saw a need to prioritise investment on infrastructure to boost the economic capacity of the city,” Tau said. The city will finance the renovations from its own coffers. Despite its established wealth, boasting the largest concentration of dollar millionaires in the country, parts of Johannesburg are dirt poor. Clusters of palatial homes protected by gates and electric fences stand side-by-side with sprawling slums that have no running water and sanitation. Nearly half a million of Johannesburg's population lives in informal housing. Some have been on a waiting list for state-subsidised houses for 15 years. Almost a fifth of the total renovation budget will be channelled to low-cost housing schemes dubbed “corridors of freedom”. “Housing is the biggest challenge facing the city. We can't claim to be a world class African city when we still have people living in poor conditions,” Tau said. Building improvements will also reach into the inner city, which has seen an exodus of large businesses due to decay and high levels of crime. Business giants like the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Africa's largest bourse, left the once-thriving central business district for northern suburb Sandton - now the continent's richest square mile. Many mining firms and banks joined the exodus to the north, though a few have started moving back. “It is our goal to create a safe, business-friendly environment,” Tau said. |

@MONKEYLIANS [b]HA HA YOU'RE FAR BEHIND THE REAL AFRICAN GIANTS "SOUTH AFRICA AND EGYPT".  Water Sanitation Health Fast facts WHO/UNICEF joint monitoring report 2012: Progress on drinking water and sanitation An improved sanitation facility is one that hygienically separates human excreta from human contact. An improved drinking-water source is one that by the nature of its construction adequately protects the source from outside contamination, in particular from faecal matter. Water In 2010, 89 per cent of the world’s population, or 6.1 billion people, used improved drinking water sources, exceeding the MDG target (88 per cent); 92 per cent are expected to have access in 2015. Between 1990 and 2010, two billion people gained access to improved drinking water sources. Eleven per cent of the global population, or 783 million people, are still without access. In 2015 the WHO/UNICEF JMP projects that 605 million will still not have access. Sanitation 63 per cent of the global population use toilets and other improved sanitation facilities. By 2015, 67 per cent will have access to improved sanitation facilities (the MDG target is 75 per cent). Since 1990 1.8 billion people gained access to improved sanitation. 2.5 billion people lack improved sanitation, projected be 2.4 billion by 2015. 1.1 billion people (15 per cent of the global population) practice open defecation. 949 million open defecators live in rural areas. Regions and countries Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for more than 40% of the global population without access to improved drinking water. Sub-Saharan Africa is not on track for meeting the drinking water target, but some countries have already met the target: Malawi, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Namibia, and Gambia. Liberia is on track to meet the target. 593 million in China and 251 million in India gained access to improved sanitation since 1990. China and India account for just under half the global progress on sanitation. India with 626 million people who practice open defecation, has more than twice the number of the next 18 countries combined; accounts for 90 per cent of the 692 million people in South Asia who practice open defecation; accounts for 59 per cent of the 1.1 billion people in the world who practice open defecation; has 97 million people without access to improved sources of drinking water, second only to China. China accounts for more than 95% of the progress on sanitation in Eastern Asia; has 119 million people without improved drinking water, followed by India (97 million); Nigeria (66 million) and Ethiopia (46 million); has 14 million people who practice open defecation, 8th on the list of the top 10 countries. Countries that account for almost three-quarters of the people who practice open defecation: India (626 million) Indonesia (63 million) Pakistan (40 million) Ethiopia (38 million) Nigeria (34 million) Sudan (19 million) Nepal (15 million) China (14 million) Niger (12 million) Burkina Faso (9.7 million) Mozambique (9.5 million) Cambodia (8.6 million).

Morocco Mauritius Algeria Egypt Tunisia The definition of development is subjective. It is more of an economic term when the source of your information is the media. However, the above mentioned countries are as developed as Europe. Mind you: these countries are not black. South Africa is not the most developed country in Africa. It's not even among the top ten (10) in Africa. It only has the most cities with high-rise buildings and bubbling economic activities. And high rise buildings is not what makes a country "developed". There is a difference between the two. Secondly, I don't think you should include military might as development. South Africa just pride itself with Johannesburg and Cape Town. All the South African cities have slums (ghettos) that are worse than Ajegunle, Lagos. Development is measured by the standard of living of the populace in a particular place. As well as literacy rate, infrastructure etc. South Africans envy Nigeria a lot, because 80% of the older generation of South Africans are illiterate. Anyone who has been to South Africa, and is honest, will tell you that it's not different from Nigeria. Mind you, the cities were developed during the apartheid regime. And Johannesburg is becoming as rugged as Lagos, Nigeria. Below are some photos of Johannesburg slums.
