I don't really like what they did to South Africa, looks like a mixture of south of France, southern Europe, London Miami parts of usa i mean . South Africa is naturally beautiful its highlands mountains etc hence the rush to steal, but each country in Africa has a different feel, Nigeria more flat land etc. I guess South African could have been the Africa getaway where you vacation due to it being Scenic naturally without the buildings, but i guess people tried to do that, i dislike the cobble roads, i dislike the green post looking like your walking through a park in London, i dislike the highway signs the police car, jeese at least make it unique, people leave home and want to create the same thing. Or take away its natural vibe. Errh other than the mismatch architecture in some parts its ok but the no 1 thing i think about South Africa is that it is Scenic its natural views its was blessed with (resources to) . |

Just by looking through this thread it's obvious the whites in South Africa should be forced to leave. South Africans will never be mentally strong, or develop true self confidence and self esteem, until their oppressors are banished. Be thankful that most African nations (like Nigeria) can succeed or fail on THEIR OWN. It must be a terrible feeling to have the credit for all your successes taken from you, and for the people that caused you so many problems to still be living next to you being racist. Maybe Mandela wasn't the right person for SA. Maybe he was just the right person for the whites... |

Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 2:45pm On May 18, 2015 |
yoruba:That red highlighted sentence is just wrong, Nairobi is larger than Jjoburg both in area and population even if you factor in the Metropolitan scale, they have us though in GDP and skyscrapers. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by mzilakazi(m): 6:18pm On May 18, 2015 |
pkjag: Nah!! Nah!! Nah!! the person that is wrong here is you. Nairobi is very very small compared to Jo'burg. I have been to both cities. Jo'burg has a population of almost 4.5 million excluding the population on the surrounding towns like Krugersdorp, Vereeniging, Randfontein, etc. Area= 1645 km^2 http://www.statssa.gov.za/?page_id=1021&id=city-of-johannesburg-municipality Nairobi at large has a population of less than 3.5 million including its surroundings. http://www.citypopulation.de/php/kenya-admin.php?adm2id=47 |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 7:02pm On May 18, 2015 |
mzilakazi:That 3.5 million figure excludes the metro which estimates claim at 6.7 million (2007) to 10 million (2014), while for you the 4.5 million is the metro. Also that 1,645 km2 is also for the metro, the actual city is about 300km2 as for Nairobi the city is 697km2 excluding the metro which is about 3,500km2 and growing. Municipal boundaries do not count for the metro, this is what confuses everybody because most statistics fail to include and differentiate. Nairobi is a city and also a county, the metro area stretches into other counties. For those who don't know the difference between a city and a metropolitan area, a city is the built up region within the Municipal boundaries of the Urban area while a metropolitan area is the total continuous built up area surrounding a central city core and may be composed of several cities and towns or a central city conjoined with several surrounding towns. Nairobi metro for instance includes Nairobi City, Ngong town, Ruiru Municipality, Athi River town, Kitengela settlement, Mavoko municipality, Rongai town, Kiserian town, Kikuyu town, Kiambu town and Wangige town. In a few years time Thika Municipality will be part of Nairobi metro. The green is the city, i.e within municipal boundaries, the red boundary is the metro and it's growing very fast. Now google johannesburg metro population the figure that comes up is 4,434,827 and do the same for Nairobi's 6.3 million

Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by 14(m): 8:01am On May 21, 2015 |
pkjag: what is this one saying? so this dude thinks Nairobi is the biggest city in Africa, over patroitic is not good for your health man. The city being overpopulated does not necessarily mean its large, Take Lagos for insteance, its overpopulated, but it is still smaller than Johannesburg by size. Johannesburg is the largest city in Africa and its not overpopulated. you can travel 120km from east to west still within joburg, and another 100km from north to south. Actually the whole Gauteng province/state is just a concrete jungle. If we make it one city, it would compete with the likes of Tokyo by size, pretoria, joburg and veeriniging is one combined cities now. |

14:It's not me saying, and i haven't said Nairobi is the biggest city in Africa, i take figures and conclude, if you're not satisfied with them go complain to your municipal council, they publish the figures. If you think Joburg is bigger then you should rename Gauteng province into Greater Johannesburg. And no Nairobi is not overpopulated, for a city its size it is infact underpopulated not to mention that it is the only Capital city in the world with a National Park, that area could have been used for settlement and since it hasn't you would expect it to be overpopulated. If you don't agree with me, let's just agree to disagree, I don't want this to escalate into a xenophobic name calling session as these "battles" are bound to. One thing we can't agree on is on the official figures, but know this Nairobi is growing faster and the area data i published here was 2007 data, if we were to compile it now, Greater Nairobi (currently more than 32,000km2) would be part of two counties (provinces in your country) each larger than Gauteng (about 18,000 km2). Just because our data isn't as published as the one in Joburg doesn't mean you take a plea of ignorance and assume that Joburg is bigger. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 3:55pm On May 21, 2015 |
Read this 2011 data: www.isocarp.net/data/case_studies/1662.pdf (current estimates now claim that Greater Nairobi has more than 10 million people back from the 10.8 million estimated population of 2022) and if you don't agree then let's end the damn discussion. Also the picture I uploaded above was 2009 data, the pic below is 2011 data and currently the metro is growing even faster to the North. Joburg is a huge city with an even bigger metropolis, but its growth is nothing compared to Nairobi's. Nairobi hosts the African HQs of the largest companies in the world, and it is still receiving invites for more hosts, this has sparked unprecedented growth and expansion and a massive rise in land prices. Do your research well before commenting here or better yet come to Kenya and see for yourself don't rely on blogs and websites that still rank cities with 2007/2009 and CIA world factbook data.

pkjag: Haahaaa! Nairobi it is. But i could slap your mouth for your sarcastic xenophobia comment. Who cares about you anyway? We still have Kenyans all over SA making a living! |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 1:01pm On May 22, 2015 |
OohLalah:Yeah lots of people care about me, I wouldn't be here vigorously arguing to let the truth out if nobody did. And I didn't mean it in a bad way, but these arguments always lead to such low levels of discussions where we compare who's better than the rest, i do not like to argue in such terms at all, besides some of the Kenyans did come back home after their businesses were destroyed despite most of them working as professionals in fields such as Medicine, engineering and science. You have to understand that it's harder for Kenyans to get into SA than it is to get in the US, I think there're about 500 Kenyans and because of the Visa restriction, most of them are middle class professionals. I think SA needs to do something about this cause in the whole of Africa, the SA diaspora can only vote in Kenya alone. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by OohLalah(f): 5:00pm On May 22, 2015 |
pkjag: You need to help yourself by not peddling lies first, do not be like Nigeria who would lie to get their point ahead. No Kenya or kenyan shops were attacked. If you start there then it would never get to any low. My hairstylists are Kenyans and have no issues. We have no issues but don't be sneaky as person its as low as crawling on your fours in gutter. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 5:11pm On May 22, 2015 |
OohLalah:I'm sure you personally know all the Kenyans in SA i have relatives who are back home okay and they told me that they left their businesses there because they were warned and before they left, they witnessed the downfall of all they had built. I don't care if you believe me, you are not the UN or anybody who can compensate them. I do not like the direction this discussion is taking, I would prefer if we ended it, I've had just about enough from you guys and how terribly misinformed you are on just about everything i have addressed in this thread. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by OohLalah(f): 5:29pm On May 22, 2015 |
pkjag:Were they attacked or warned before they leave? Where in SA did they stay? Province, city/town? What businesses did the have? You are sounding more like a Nigeria than Kenyan. You are too emotional. I have Kenyan colleagues, friends church members etc. Please if you are not a liar tell us exactly where and when it happened. Rubbish, you still want us to relax our visa rules for you to troop in but are saying evil lies against our country? 1 Like |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 6:17pm On May 22, 2015 |
OohLalah:What the hell is wrong with you, are you being purposely ignorant, you want to tell me that no businesses were looted when it's all over the news? FYI they lived in Gauteng, Soweto, and they owned spaza shops in Joburg and Soweto, happened in 16/17th April. And yes here are other reports of others who experienced the same, including a murder: http://x-news-africa.com/?q=article-937 http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/thecounties/article/2000161643/kenyan-killed-in-south-africa-s-xenophobic-attack-buried http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/kenya-to-evacuate-citizens-from-south-africa-as-xenophobic-attacks-rage/ http://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Kenyan-traders-losses-xenophobic-violence/-/1950946/2693402/-/format/xhtml/-/oxal10z/-/index.html http://www.sabc.co.za/news/a/8f03f680480b2747b67af678423ca9af/Kenya-ready-to-evacuate-citizens-from-SA-20151704 |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by OohLalah(f): 7:24pm On May 22, 2015 |
pkjag: Bullcrap! Only one Kenya reported only by a Kenyan newspaper, no facts behind his death whatsoever. The guy was an illegal that will be impossible to own business as stated in the article he was a labourer. They needed to find the woman he was staying with to find what happened to him. All the rest of your links are about evacuations which was the right thing to do. Now, tell me something new. Hope they stop trooping to other countries without the knowledge of your embassy. So they could be documented if anything happens to them. You can't blame SA for not reporting on people who are not even suppose to be there in the first place. How can SA now who is who when reporting and coating the damage and deaths? |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 7:48pm On May 22, 2015 |
OohLalah:You told me to tell you of the business lootings and I did. So because he was an illegal immigrant it was right to kill him? Just cause SA doesn't want to report it doesn't mean anything, pro-government media can never be trusted in such tense scenarios, he was killed in SA during the riots, there're probably dozens of other unregistered immigrant workers that were killed. It seems that your media takes its information from the Embassies instead of doing their own research, this is all for political correctness of course, they wouldn't wanna fuel more tension between the two countries. You have the information, now draw your own conclusions. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by OohLalah(f): 7:54pm On May 22, 2015 |
pkjag: Which pro government media are you talking about? You seem to be grasping at straws.There is crime and xenophobia, if it was xenophobia it would have been known and reported by atleast his girlfriend. Find the girl you will get the truth. In South Africa all corpses are collected by police especially crime or xenophobia related. No one is allowed to touch a corpse that was attacked this is collared to stats about death as police have to document and submit the corpse to a mortuary with cause death. Unless there was crime and the body was hidden or not found for days as the deceased family say he was badly decomposed meaning he was found days later. I just gave you my conclusion. |
Re: Cape Town, Most Beautiful African City Pics by Nobody: 7:59pm On May 22, 2015 |
I do not see the point in continuing this discussion, you clearly do not agree with Kenyan media and I do not trust SA media enough to deliver the full picture of what happened in the April attacks. |
