    South African Men We need to do better, Business relationships are business related relationships Not personal Affairs. It's disturbing hearing this about us Guys, please behave not all women mix business with pleasure. Please guys lets behave accordingly, personal affections are easy to identify.

    Glad I found this.  I have found that everybody can't come with you in every phase of your journey.

    “ music brought me here” I second that ! Haha <br><br>Uk girlie here ..fell in love with South Africa on a girls trip in 2023…after that I’ve been back and forth since doing 3 -6 months …mainly Cape Town but now moreso in Joburg. <br><br>I chose Joburg as I missed seeing abundance of black excellence, culture etc but I’ll always be a coastal girlie haha. <br><br>Doubt I can continue to do this back and forth as I find that SA doesn’t have a big expat community and I’m now realising thats a value I need when choosing where to base myself. But for now I’m currently in Joburg enjoying and who knows lol

    Hi April, I am new to your channel. I really enjoyed the few episodes I have watched. Your sincerity and genuine love and care comes through &nbsp;naturally, much appreciated. <br><br>Carol, first things first &quot; Howzit🤓 and welcome home!🫂&quot; you come across as a beautiful soul, balanced and evolved. As an elder and your &nbsp;uncle, &nbsp;trust me when I say love will find you at the right time. I also &nbsp;think &nbsp;that as POC in Mzansi, especially black, NEED &nbsp;to talk about the importance of therapy. We have been through a lot of trauma, in so many aspects &nbsp;of our society. We are hurting and need healing, &nbsp;and maybe we are just resilient and musk it well.We need these conversations in our communities, &nbsp;for us, access to good therapists is an economic &nbsp;issue, stigma and again, it is historical.But we need to start somewhere.Thank you for the episode and thank you for opening up, and being vulnerable, &nbsp;wishing you the best years ahead.Easy does it😉😇😊🤓
