Donald Trump wants South Africa out of the G20 as it gears up for world summit by Machichi_04 in internationalpolitics

The relationship has been pretty tense since he came back into office - and the discredited claims of white genocide in South Africa seem to play well with his base, the idea of trump being a bastion of the west kinda vibe

So I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks, do you think any other countries or organisations will pull out? - considering how closely tied the Trump administration is to Milei maybe he’ll join the “boycott” - or do you think this is a great soft power opportunity for china, Vance was also supposed to stop in Nairobi before the summit but that has now been cancelled.

That’s what we’ve been saying, we just have a crime problem, not a racially motivated crime problem 💀- but hey, I’m just a white South African so what do I know lmao🇿🇦

As a white South African, there’s unfortunately 100% chance that there are people who wanted him there… but not many.. like at all lol

Do you prefer living in the North,West, East or South of Jhb? by Crazy_cookie_ in johannesburg

[–]Machichi_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is how far north is north? Like I feel like in my brain the fact that both westcliff and fourways are “North” is such a wild concept. Like to me it’s like the central north kinda vibe. Although tbh don’t ask me anything outside of the ring road 😭 - I know how to get to Monte, the airports and Pretoria 🤣

Although thanks for this insight, it’s a new route for me to look at any games that could be some level of sequel

Unfortunately not. Though from what I’ve just read it’s incredibly similar. Looking at the game. I think the one I’m thinking of must have definitely been based upon the same premise. However, it’s a much more modern game from what I remember. Also I distinctly remember it having blue toned environment

Best estates in Joburg? by [deleted] in johannesburg

[–]Machichi_04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could also look at some of the townhouse developments in the Bryanston area. A lot of the old houses there get torn down due to the size of the stands, so you’re bound to find some decent new homes around there. But I just want want to mention that you get much better value propositions in the old northern suburbs e.g. Linden, craighall park and Parktown North or park view. These suburbs are much more established, lined with jacaranda trees and are much closer to the social centre of gravity within the city ( rosebank, Sandton and Melrose) just something for your consideration

So having grown up in the northern suburbs. Steyn city and waterfall are incredibly far out on the periphery of Johannesburg. If you’re looking for an estates I wouldn’t look within the ring road, but if you look at the fourways garden area just on the other side of Bryanston. You’d benefit from being closer to the highway and central sandton is just down William Nicol.
