Such a shame. A South African posted something good about his country and Nigerians are busy fighting below his post over how bad their country is.

I have never seen other Africans insult, or talk bad about their country at every giving opportunity like Nigerians.
Not even Somalia that is in war for over a decade
Indeed as una leaders be, na so una sef be.
Majority of those African countries have 1 dominant tribe which means they would not talk bad about their countries.

How many Nigerians talk bad about their state of origin huh

German automaker BMW’s circular office in Midrand, Johannesburg, won a 5-star rating for its environmentally friendly features.

BMW, which also owns Mini and Rolls-Royce, moved into its South African headquarters in Midrand in 2015.

The iconic building is located next to Pretoria Main Road and off the N1 Highway. It is close to Grand Central Airport and the Midrand stop on the Gautrain.

About 600 associates work in the building, with diverse fields including marketing, human resources, business strategy, and example sales for the BMW brand, Mini and BMW Motorcycle.

The main building in Midrand is part of an “open campus,” which also includes the offices of the Financial Services section and the on-site training centre.

The group’s website states, “Our uniquely designed atrium garden invites you to take a moment of relaxation and reload your energy. “

The Green Building Council of South Africa awarded the building a 5-star rating in 2015 for its environmentally friendly features.

The rating made BMW South Africa the first automotive company in South Africa to receive the rating.

The rating considered the indoor environment quality, energy, transport, water, materials, land use, ecology, emissions, and innovations.

Variables that added to Midrand HQ’s GBCSA 5-star rating included:

Glass and solar-controlled louvres installed within the internal façade of the building, enabling enhanced daylight and thermal comfort.

90% of the office’s usable area now has an external view, providing good levels of daylight for occupants.

The peak electrical demand on the building was reduced by 30%, which included an extensive use of LED lighting throughout the building.

5% of the parking bays are now dedicated to alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles, while 5% are reserved for motorbikes, mopeds and scooters.

Water-efficient sanitary fittings were installed throughout the building.

Water meters were installed for all major water uses and connected to a Building Management System to support proper facility management of water consumption.

A dedicated storage area was provided for waste recycling,

All topsoil impacted by the construction was separated and protected from degradation, erosion, or mixing with fill or waste, and it still remains onsite.

In addition to its Midrand headquarters, BMW has a manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria, and an IT hub in Menlyn, Pretoria.

undecided
The English failed to build Nigeria like the way the Dutch built south Africa. See how the country look like Germany
I think the whites stayed back in South Africa and other Southern African countries because the weather was favorable to them.

Giant of Africa on which indices. Yeye de smell.
South Africa more than Nigeria in all indices apart from Human population. People that are measuring with Western countries.
If not for their lazy youth hates against fellow Africans, e for dey obvious say they pass Nigeria
It's already obvious. Despite all the killings and hate, Nigerians still flock there and no wan return home.

South Africa is really beautiful, we have everything it takes but we just hate what is ours. Like a husband who rapes and abuses his beautiful wife only to cherish and pamper his concubines.

It looks eco-friendly and aesthetically sound.
The Germans have a knack for eco-friendly initiatives. That's a nice one from BMW.
