“Failed Us As Usual”: Mzansi Not Surprised as US Woman Finds ‘Ugly’ City in SA

• A content creator from America explored South Africa until she found a part of the land that was ugly
• The young woman went all over the country, including areas in the Western Cape and Gauteng
• When she landed in a spot in one of the provinces, many locals were not surprised that she found it ugly

A young American woman virtually went to South Africa to find a side she deemed "ugly." When she explored one of the cities, some people online were not surprised by her decision to name it less desirable than other parts of the country.

Taking to her TikTok account, Bells Explores, who often virtually explores a country until she finds it ugly, travelled to parts of the Western Cape, including Cape Town, Kruger National Park, Klerksdorp, and Pretoria, and finally landed on Marjorie Street in Johannesburg.

Unlike the beautiful scenery seen in the other cities, the Jozi street had a dirt road with shipping containers on the side, as well as containers on the trucks.

Somehow, Bells Explores found the above ugly.
