SA content creator makes headlines in America

South Africa has been receiving a lot of attention from foreigners around the world. American content creators showed great interest in being in the country, even overstaying their welcome.

More and more digital nomads keep coming to Mzansi but mostly targeting Cape Town where they have contributed largely to rent significantly going up over the past year. South Africans have hopped on social media to share their concerns but only one person got the attention of American media.

The award-winning content creator, Naledi Mallela trended online after she crashed out over not being able to travel to Cape Town because of tourists overstaying their welcome. Mallela became a hot topic on America’s Daily Mail with the headline:

“She’s had enough of tourism. Woman reveals why tourists aren’t welcome in her country. She's telling people not to come to South Africa.”

A lot of South Africans have complained about not being able to enjoy parts of their country due to the ridiculously hiked prices, especially in Cape Town. Some proposed a Japanese strategy where tourists have their own prices while locals enjoy their country without going broke.
