Please, stop spreading false news here. I went to Joburg last year with Kenya airways.

On what visa? You’re the one spreading false news. did I tell you they return every single person that fly with other airlines excluding SAA? Please talk like a learned person. I personally know about four people that were returned using other airlines. Even agencies like wakanow which I use will advice you to fly with SAA

Geenosko:


This again is not entirely correct.

Do you realize that Randburg has two parts. There’s the white side and the black people side I mentioned? Do you have past or do you walk past every day? Randburg is where I do Nigerian groceries.

Geenosko:


This is not exactly true.
The poe officials don't discriminate based on the airline you use.

Please say on fact and what you know. They do so
It is a well known fact. If you’re a frequent flyer over here or have friends flying over here.

Hello house


I will be traveling to South Africa next week, ticket booked via Kenya airways to Johannesburg, I choosed Pretoria for my 6 days stay, this is my first time of flying outside, please tell me what to expect from LOS to Johannesburg, mostly how to find my way to Pretoria from the airport.

I need you guys contribution.

IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO BOOK KENYAN AIRWAYS COMING TO SA AS A FIRST TIME VISITOR. ALOT OF PEOPLE FACE HARD TIMES AT PEOPLE AND HAVE BEEN RETURNED BACK WITH NO VALID REASONS. USE THEIR NATIONAL CARRIER.

Geenosko:


Yes you can.
Exchange rate varies
You will be charged NGN1,200 per withdrawal.

Pls pls and please,
Only use ATM's in secure spaces like inside banks or inside malls else there's a very good chance that your card will have a second owner

Banks where? Malls are only rampant in sandton and suburbs. ATMS are always in every Garage. There’s an extra R50 charge for every withdrawal

Found this thread and had to register on Nairaland.

I’ve lived in Southafrica for 6months now. Don’t let anyone deceive you. I live in sandton and have visited Soweto, Pretoria and Capetown. The lowest you can get here on a furnished apartment in sandton is R30k. Sandton, Morningside and Rivonia are not close to any university. You must be rich to stay in these areas. Midrand is okay. Greenstone is okay. Sunnyside is okay. If you cannot afford sandton and it’s suburbs. Stay in your school dorm or housing. Unless you’re ready to be toughened. Braamfontein, Yeoville, Rosentenville, Randburg (420, Randburg square and environs) are not safe.

If you’re planning on renting a non furnished apartment not under your school, you must be willing to know your way. And ready double your first month rent to be paid as caution.

Buy foodstuffs at Jburg south. If you buy at Randburg. Your money will disappear and you won’t know what you spent it on.

Yes, when you get to hillbrow there are signs saying you’re now in a crime hotspot.
