Tuanni Price, an American woman, swapped the busy streets of Los Angeles for the scenic beauty and rich culture of Cape Town. The lucky woman shared why she specifically moved to the Mother City and showed off her stunning home.

She spoke to the Ghanaian media company Webnation Africa, which shared a snippet of her interview with them on their TikTok account on 4 August, 2025.

After revealing that she considered calling Spain her home before settling in the African continent, the Los Angeles native shared:

"Because of the history of apartheid, South Africa has a parallel history to the United States, so I decided to come to South Africa. The first city that I came to was Cape Town. I moved to Cape Town because of the wine. It's the closest city to the Winelands."
