Mrs Jones tells Briefly News what they love about Mzansi and the malls
Mrs Jones told Briefly News that they moved to South Africa two weeks ago because God guided them to Mzansi.
"The first thing that impressed me about the malls is that everything is in them! You may see it as commonplace but in the States, our malls don't have grocery stores, banks and large play centres. Secondly, the SA malls are much larger than most in the States. It was new to me to see people walking around with grocery carts, but considering the size of the malls, it's just brilliant. The fashion is top-tier. I look forward to putting together some looks created with mainstream and local designers soon," she said.
