South Africa is the first country in the world by economic inequality. It is also first by HIV prevalence. But, at the same time, RSA is one of the most developed countries in Africa. I took a trip there to see for myself how all this combines in one place. I visited the notorious Ponte City and white slums of Johannesburg, went to the Cape of Good Hope and enjoyed the tricks of trained fur seals, had coffee in one of the quirkiest coffee shops in the world and learned many interesting facts about South African townships. Watch my travel vlog / documentary to immerse yourself in the vibe of this beautiful country!
