WE KEEP FORGETTING THAT AFRICAS 1ST WORLD COUNTRY IS BIGGER THAN MOST COUNTRIES IN EUROPE AND RANKED HIGHER THAN THEM IN DEVELOPMENT INDEX .

Let me give hints on S.A.s 3 LEGGED POT STYLE economy. Where the government, private sector and banking sector work together to achieve one goal serving the people of S.A.


THE JOHANNESBURG STOCK EXCHANGE MARKET CAP IS OVER $1 TRILLION AND THATS DOUBLE nigerias REBASED GDP (False legs/high heels ).

OVERALL=Over $890 Billion thats bigger than your economy note we have not counted The MINING, AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURING AND FISHING COMPANIES.

[quote author=chinchum post=45243527]there is fallacy in the op's assertion. beauty /quality infrastructure of a country does not have a linear relationship with the size of an economy. Nigeria is 200 million vs South africa's less than 60 million.

Famous lie by slummies who are drug peddlers all over the globe is they were employed in S.A thats a lie they fed their villages.
One of their women once said S.A. protects her populace and puts them 1st, unlike in her country. We are not a JOB RECRUITMENT AGENCY OF ANY AFRICAN COUNTRY. Just like Australia we look after our own. Yes we have people from SADC, EU and BRICS countries who fall under our "FOREIGN LIST" in our job market. We can count by one hand nigerians working in the PRIVATE SECTOR AND PUBLIC SECTOR.

Heres the PRIVATE SECTOR.

nigeria has only 2 cities the rest are VILLAGES AND TOWN and dont qualify to be called cities. The likes of Uyo, Enugu,Kano,Ibadan,Benin,Awka etc...
UYO IS A VILLAGE TOWN. Theres no TOWN PLANNING there your towns qualify to be townships and villages.

South African cities are 1ST WORLD CLASS even our socalled towns and villages are well PLANNED.
From ATLANTIC OCEAN TO INDIAN COEAN we have CLASS. Hence the west is against us recently and feel that S.A. should be kept for Europeans who wish to settle in AFRICA. SOUTH AFRICA IS BIGGER THAN FRANCE,GERMANY,HOLLAND,ITALY,UKRAINE,POLAND,SWEDEN,AUSTRIA,CZECK REPUBLIC, HUNGARY, BOSNIA AND MONTE NEGRO,SLOVENIA, SLOVAKIA combined..FACT.

Lets dish off S.A. TOWNS AND CITIES BY PROVINCE.
NORTHERN CAPE
Towns and cities.

NORTHERN CAPE towns and cities cont...

Northern Cape continued towns...

Northern Cape
Another town

same town cont Northern Cape. Yho this looks like we are somewhere in southern Europe (S. Greece, S. France or Ibiza Spain)

Northern Cape inland city built out of its own mineral wealth DIAMONDS

There are many towns in that province lets move to another province. Northern Cape is about the size of nigeria in land area.
WESTERN CAPE

WESTERN CAPE
Cape Tizzy...theyr being lied by their politicians.

In S.A. each city has its own DEPUTIES towns that surround it that are bigger and can be referd to as cities on their own. I mean in INSFRACTURE DEVELOPMENT not population

Thats CENTURY CITY a city on its own just like SANDTON CITY and Joburg two separate things

Most Americans say CAPE TOWN looks like SAN FRANCISCO. I agree but CAPE TOWN is better than San Francisco in Natural beauty. THEY AGREE.

Mushrooms around Cape Town

The hoods
Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain are biggest townships in Cape Town.

KASIE/TOWNSHIPS...thats what they call the hoods in S.A. Hey these South Africans

Another city on its own about the size of Leicester city in England near Cape Town 25 km away.

Yooh fellows don't run we're still in the WESTERN CAPE we only touched 2 provinces and have over 7 left.

Another town now its smaller nigerians dont run.

still in the Western Cape moving towards the EASTERN CAPE.
Random towns...

;DThis one needs SERIOUS EDUCATION. I dont blame but blame your inferior education system. SOUTH AFRICA IS STILL THE MOST ADVANCE ECONOMY IN AFRICA AND DIFFICULT TO MEASURE BECAUSE OF THE WAY OUR ECONOMY IS DESIGNED. Very different to the rest of AFRICA.

Let me give hints on S.A.s 3 LEGGED POT STYLE economy. Where the government, private sector and banking sector work together to achieve one goal serving the people of S.A.

chinchum:
there is fallacy in the op's assertion. beauty /quality infrastructure of a country does not have a linear relationship with the size of an economy. Nigeria is 200 million vs South africa's less than 60 million.

All things being equal, China is set to overtake USA as the largest economy in the world in less than a decade.

VandalZA am on top of these VILLAGE dummies. I told them about the WEST'S recent beef against BRICS countries, SA, CHINA,RUSSIA,BRAZIL,INDIA its funny bro. They claim Russia lost to Ukraine on that EUROPE VISION competition, guess what Australia was there. I asked myself is Australia a EUROPEAN country

The west is desparate bro.
