A woman and a man, seemingly new to South Africa, gave people some of their first impressions. The pair were brutally honest about what they've experienced so far while in South Africa.

The video of the man and woman making their comments about South Africa was shared on 19 March and received a lot of attention. People shared their takes about South Africa and what it has to offer after hearing the Americans out.

In a TikTok video by @kgotsocarter_leesahlane, a man and woman with American accents shared their recent experience in Cape Town, which has been interesting so far after they went out. She said that the coloured people in South Africa have been the most friendly to her so far, saying they were down to earth. Both agreed that other races have been less friendly and that it could just be the city. They had rude experiences and were convinced that the atmosphere in Johannesburg was better for them.
