Your thoughts on Cape Town echoed mine – lovely city, much "easier" than Joburg, but also kind of parochial and noticeably more segregated.

Exactly, right? My friend who I travelled with was scared of Joburg and excited for Cape Town but I insisted. Now he is asking me why we didn't spend more time in Joburg.
I really want to visit again in a few years to see where the city is at.
