Cape Town's Rental Prices: Luxury Or Lunacy Compared To Joburg?

Its a debate that never seems to die: Cape Town versus Johannesburg, whos got the better deal when it comes to rent? Mzansi has been talking about this for years, and honestly, its no surprise.

Cape Town may have been crowned the best city in the world, but that title comes with a hefty price tag, especially if youre trying to survive on more than just ocean views and mountain hikes.

Digital creator and MC Nande Ramncwana recently took to Instagram to air her shock at just how ridiculous Cape Towns rental prices have become.

Guys, I just saw one bachelor apartment for R16,500, not even a one-bed, she exclaimed. In Joburg, I would get a modern three or four-bedroom apartment.

Its safe to say shes not alone in her disbelief.
