- These women were so mesmerized by the Mzansi lady’s stunning African features that they couldn’t help but touch her to confirm she was real.

Chantel’s visit to China turned into an unforgettable adventure as she became the center of attention wherever she went. Her striking presence left everyone in awe, sparking curiosity and admiration.

In China, where most residents share similar physical traits—such as slanted eyes, straight hair, and lighter skin tones—encountering someone with distinctly different features can be both fascinating and overwhelming. While China lacks the cultural diversity we take for granted in South Africa, this absence only amplifies the intrigue when someone like Chantel enters the scene.

Our beloved Mzansi is a melting pot of cultures, where Asians, Chinese, Indians, whites, and Black people from various tribes coexist harmoniously. In contrast, China’s homogeneous population means that seeing a Black person in person often feels surreal. When Chantel stepped into this world, her African features and unique hairstyle became instant conversation starters.
As she navigated the streets of China, groups of women were captivated by her presence. They couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her, almost as if they needed physical proof that she was real. Chantel embraced the moment, capturing it all on TikTok with the caption:
“POV: Perks of being Black in China.”
