A big thank you to Monde Mateza from South African Tourism for sharing a link on his facebook page about Ijeoma Ndekwu who was part of a visiting Nigerian group hosted by South African Tourism for 6 days. They spent time between Johannesburg and Cape Town exploring our country.
According to her own words:
Although I am far from being considered a ‘world traveller’, I have had a decent share of some of the most beautiful countries and cities the world has to offer, and after my recent trip to South Africa, I think it tops my list. I do not know if it was the itinerary which was guaranteed to provide a wonderful experience, the people I shared the experience with or my new cultivated knowledge and appreciation of aesthetics- there is something about South Africa that made me decide upon my return to Nigeria that I shall never be away from her for too long!
I was fortunate to live in South Africa for 4 months in 2010; recollecting the experience triggers fun memories of youthful exuberance explored to its fullest; from a vibrant nightlife, to weekly braais, a found love for dry ciders, and the opportunity to be adventurous and to immerse oneself in a seemingly distant yet embracing culture. I had envisioned that my return to South Africa will embody all the aspects of the country which I truly enjoyed and loved, but to say that this trip mirrored my previous experience of the Rainbow Nation will be an unfair comparison.
