From Cape Town to
Johannesburg (Cape Town Part 3, Cape Town Part 2 & Cape Town Part 1). South Africa’s largest and most cosmopolitan
city, also commonly known as Jo'burg or Jozi, our two hours flight obviously
landed us at the airport. Subsequently, while journeying for another
approximately 45 minutes to North West, Lanseria, I made sure I peeped out from
the coach for glimpsing at this economic hub of South Africa and capital of
Gauteng. At the same time, I gasped the fact that Johannesburg is
not a safe haven for wondering around on our own due to its crime rate
primarily, as narrated by our born and bred South African tour guide. Nothing really bad so far I have encountered for the past three days, but I
must mention that I had a hard time with the
immigration officer at the airport who insisted I greet him and I couldn't help but wonder why he was picking on me by asking a string of unwanted questions. I went like, what's going on. Baffled me. Why, why on earth? Trust me, I was so close to giving him a piece of mind when he rudely throw my passport back. Nonsense! A chip on his
shoulder I suppose. The other person I must mention is our bus driver who wouldn’t
stop complaining how unfair life is in South Africa. Nonstop he went on, each
and every time I bumped into him. As if, we don’t have our worst share of unfavorable
policies towards different races in Malaysia? Looks like people all over the world
do come in different packages, you meet the good and the ugly as well. In fact,
I was already forewarned by my social media South African friends what to expect in South Africa. Crime rate, people sulking and unwelcoming behaviour, which by far played on my mind prior to us stepping
foot in Lion Park.
