To be fair, i purchased an executive studio that's around 500 sq ft if that. It's basically a very nice hotel room in a mid rise apartment type of building. So nothing extrodanary but more than enough for a first time buy in a foreign country I'm not living in an can air bnb when I'm not there.
You got it, Joburg is blacker, significantly. That feeling of walking around and everyone is black of all income brackets is nice.
Don't get me wrong, Cape Town is beautiful, you can't even compare it, but at this point in my life I prefer Joburg.
That said, i can see myself buying a bigger property in Cape Town at a later time.
