The news attracted almost 2 million views on the Africa Facts Zone X page, 23K likes and over 840 comments since 03 July 2025.

Is that even up for a debate?

(Oya Oga Seun, come and add the remaining characters by yourself, thanks)

Morocco , Mauritius beats south Africa hands down. Seychelles too is part of a few more African countries that leads in terms of beauty while SA follows them from behind. Egypt and South Africa both share number 4 position. We thank God for white SA nationals, if not they could have been far behind cape Verde, Kenya, Tanzania, Algeria

The SA blacks don't know anything about those countries listed above - that's why they feel fly. The idea of Africa they know is war thorn Sudan, terrorism plagued Nigeria and the rest of corrupt and misgoverned parts of africa. A black SA doesn't even know that there are better governed countries in Africa. Countries doing better than SA without any white man input

Unlike SA, those countries spill no bile on other Africans over the internet

This is the type of thread that brings bitter comments and white worshipers, lol

Sleepless night at seppuku and wiseone28 compounds this evening 🥲🥲🥲. Only oyinbo worship will induce a few hours of sleep.

Why can't they leave Nigeria out of their discussion?

Must they drag Nigeria to every of their discussion?

Morocco? If there are better countries in Africa then why is everybody and their wobbling-knee uncles flood ours this much.That right there is the part that kills me every time,and some of you are coming from countries that are million miles away from South Africa but some way some how you always end up right here in RSA🇿🇦 not to mention the overstaying of the visits because you know deep down you do not wanna go back to where you came from🤔

Make that make sense 🤔

Before nko? Only those who thinks we're denigrating Nigeria by saying Nigeria is not up to South African will think otherwise.
If you say Nigeria is horrible they will come for you just because they are in power want good image launder when they don't merit it

I thought some persons here are saying lagos is more beautiful than the whole of SA?
GOD bless south Africa

You were actually giving a fair analysis of those countries SA was being compared with whereas black South Africans are given a pounding in the post you responded to and yet it still stands. Well...

if they don't tag Nigeria, how will the topic trend?

All thanks to white south Africans, without them that place would have been a shithole.

So you're triggered and then rush in your millions to help it trend? All hail mighty SA😂😂😂

I can tell U for a FACT, THIS IS A LIE. .
What they call beautiful is just 10% of the country. The rest are ghettos, hood, which they call townships or hostels

South Africa is far developed than Nigeria even though Nigeria is richer and blessed with much natural resources, the only problem in Nigeria is corruption, the money meant for developing Nigeria is being siphoned by our corrupt leaders.

LOl, Nigerian reasoning 101.. So South Africa is 10 percent beautiful and the rest is just ghettos and makoko-style shacks? Which country doesn't have ghettos? Paris, France, has ghettos, and yet Paris is one Earth's most beautiful cities.. Can't say I'm surprised though

Mirasteel:

Yeah, white people brought mountains, wildlife, beaches, flora, and fauna, beautiful culture, and beautiful climate. all the things that make SA beautiful to South Africa..

Your Nigerian obsession for the white man and jealousy dwarfs logical reasoning... this myth is also tired asf

ZaraArewa:

Nairobi, Windhoek, Gaborone, Luanda, Tunis, Casablanca, Tangiers, Algiers. Cairo, Alexandria, Abidjan, Dakar, even Kigali all more beautiful than Lagos

Those persons committed blunder

Don't listen to them

. First of all, I doubt you've been to any of these countries you purport as being "more beautiful." You've certainly also not been to SA that I can tell .. South Africa has been named one of Earth's most beautiful countries by various sources a number of times, for a number of years now, which should tell you something, not Morocco, not Seychelles, but South Africa!. Cape Town alone has been voted: the most beautiful city on earth" more than any African city, actually the only city in Africa with that distinction! which, again, should tell you something. Granted, Morocco and Seychelles are stunning countries, I particularly love Casablanca, but you're using them to mask your ill-feeling towards South Africans, particularly black South Africans, that's why you're here insulting us over a survey conducted elsewhere, heal bro

The beloved "white argument" is also tired, and it's borne of the national psyche of inferiority you guys have for the white man.. White South Africans are a part of South Africa, A fact you guys seem to be forever struggling with. They are part and parcel of the building of South Africa, same with other South Africans of all races.. But ofcourse, you're only concerned about the white man's input? How convenient

You call yourselves "Giants of Africa" at every given turn, but have a problem when we "feel fly" because our country is beautiful? South Africa is beautiful, get over it!

LOol, you say in terms of beauty, we're tied with Egypt at 4th, and other countries are far more beautiful than us Ok, no problem with that, but at the same breath, we must thank the white man, thank him for what? For being the 4th most beautiful country?

And black South Africans do know about Morocco and other African countries, some of our footballers play in Morocco and Egypt..because we know how developed those countries are, our players have no problem ekeing out a living over there and as much as we know about war-torn Sudan and Libya, we know about the beauty and development of Kenya, we know about the rapid rise of Ethiopia and Rwanda, the stable and peaceful government of our neighbours Botswana...and we also do know about your under-development ........the crux of why you're spweing this bile,, so please don't patronize us, you've never even met a black South African so please don't dare speak for us

They sculptured Table Mountain, brought snow and fine weather, invented the various black cultures and converged the Indian + Atlantic oceans at the Cape of Good Hope😏😏😏

The same Table Mountain which is part of the seven wonders of the world, we must somehow thank white people for.... Even when you make threads about snowfall in SA, they still find a way to credit the whiteman for that The worship, weird obsession, fascination, and praise Nigerians have for white people really needs to be dissected and studied

There's no "wahala" boss. Someone is publishing an interesting fact about South Africa, and people are being triggered about it as usual 🤷‍♂️
