Have African ancestry and cousins from the family stories the parts of the continent I have had connections to, including SA, sound like they suck. Even when people trying to explain how amazing these places are.

I've encountered a decent amount of I'm assuming South African (maybe some other part of Africa, I can't distinguish where from the accent) black people in my job
Always very polite, incredible hard workers, who can take a lot of abuse (in my field they seem to frequently end up working in group homes that other people may not want to, such as homes for adults with developmental delays or other medical cognitive problems and sometimes a history of aggression). They are (usually rarely) getting hit by their residents sometimes, still keeping a perfectly cool head and remaining professional and polite to the resident and everyone else throughout. I have nothing but completely positive experiences every time I've encountered them at work
