Wonderful...Anc destroys fors not know how to look after or maintain. Just stealing every single cent. More worried about R3.5 million wrist watches, and have skew teeth, and can't even speak without spitting, and then they think they so handsome or pretty. Look at Jhb now so sad
The place is now occupy by hole illegal African immigrants selling all kinds of illicit goods, like drugs, counterfeit goods, in assistance of ANC cadre deployment members. South Africa is dead because of the corrupt ANC government,,, during those days , the bad about was segregation polices which were to separate people of races ,but othen then that SA would have been a better and progressively country
It’s now like an Ex British Colony. They wanted their freedom and got what they deserved. A Dump, a total ghetto Dump. You can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.

@@dimitriostzellios7539 the city is definitely not what it was and South Africa is in a bad state right now, however those “good times” for you were not very nice for people or colour and that’s where you need to understand someone else’s perspective.

@@afk3957 i told. It s what you do with your freedom...and it seems all those things you are referring to nobody has them anymore. Corruption and crime is everywhere. I m sure this is not the country in mandella s dreams. He was of course a great leader. Since 1994 everything has gone bad. In global scale south africa is one of the most corrupted countries . So my friend you see once again it s what you fo with your so called freedom
My birth city… Why couldn’t they at least have just taken care of it and not let it be wrecked? I will probably visit again at some point in the future but I won’t live there ever again. I do still miss the summer thunderstorms, the bird life and the chirping crickets on warm nights.
Was born in the 80s, Johannesburg. I loved that place. But now, later in life, I understand why my mom made the decision to leave the country in the mid 90s. As a child you don't see the changes. Adults do. My mom had a tough time in our new environment, especially as a biracial single mother, but we made it. Even though my mom still misses SA today, she no longer has a reason to go back since my gran passed away 2 years ago. I haven't been back since the 2000s.
In those days the traffic lights " robots " were all printed white and black and if they were out of action a very well dressed points man would pitch and direct the traffic in a we drilled fashion, wearing white gloves.

Sadly, those days are long gone. Now it's full of foreigners out of Africa who does not care about our country!!! It's a very dangerous place to be now!!!
It was clean because black people used to clean it and thereafter chased out of town with guns and shamboks. There was no black person in town, and only came to work here. Their home where in the Bundus, where there was nothing but scitching son and ripping cold.
That is true. Poor people sold corn brooms carpets coal and sugar cane on street from house to house. Most people had gardeners who received 2 meals a day plus salary, and you could trust them, nowadays it is to dangerous to employ gardeners from street you never know if their id documents are false
You're wrong there. People want what White people create and that's where the problem lies. Eventually there is over crowding and that is when Whites leave. Look for yourself, it's happened in every town and city in South Africa.
The old JHB looks underdeveloped and lifeless. JHB looks much better now, more vibrant.

When South Africa was still a first world country
At 0:49-0:50 my red and black FIAT 125 drove past...
Jo burg has finally been decolonized
White people built such a magnificent civilization ❤
Daswegen alle africaner laufen wieder zu weißen nach Europa
Just as I Remebr 😢😢it.Worked for Allied. Rissik and Bree. Now a filth heap...
I recall xmas shopping in the Carlton Centre...then up to our room in the Hotel to stow them under the bed. Then a swim in the pool on the roof.
All gone. All trashed. Sad.
There was no television in South Africa until 1977! This is a large, prosperous, modern city with no television at all!

Remember what the country looked like in 1650? When the same people as today were in charge.
Just dirt
I moved from the UK to Gauteng (or Transvaal as it was known then) in 1973. This brings back so many happy memories.

Yellow VW Beetles everywhere
That was my first little jammy as well. Paid R400 her and Tax was 4%. Imagine.
Mine went to botswana and thereafter burst into flames while we were driving along!
Clean!
Not a single paper on the floor. Today it is filthy and disgraceful.
Fucking SPOTLESS.
Memories, memories... resided in Craighall and Parkhurst at the time. Miss the cleanliness!
Hi Herman!
I moved to Jozi in 1992, and it was a wonderful 10 years. A lot of life lessons learned arriving from little old Eastern Cape.
It’s now like an Ex British Colony. They wanted their freedom and got what they deserved. A Dump, a total ghetto Dump. You can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.
Exactly, the west shouldn't give another dollar of aid. Tear up the runways and the ports, no one gets to leave.
This isn’t 10 years ago, this is more like 50 or 60 years ago.
Look how clean was South Africa no even a single paper on the ground
Fast forward to current day, its a SHITHOLE!!!!
I miss the old south africa! I was born in joburg! Back then ,the phrase "proudly south african" meant something.....
Do you miss the oppression of the majority?
I miss walking without fear of someone killing ne , i miss a clean city , roads fully functional , i miss having electricity 24/7 , i miss public transportation , i miss respect for all life. I miss a city that was once the jewell of south africa . ...

Don't South Africa's leaders see this today to understand to where they are leading the country
They don’t care. All that matters to them is lining their pockets

Yeah mate, because the goverment was providing for 20% of the population.

You should turn your camera to Soweto and see how Soweto was before and what it is now.
Also see what hillbrow is now and how it was back then
Listen here your forefathers never did anything for us never build schools or nice infrastructure in our areas maybe you should ask them why.
It’s still a dump.

Create a blog to focus on the past, we are suppose progress, not to go back
Now a city of filth...

That is partially true, but look at it now.
Well. There's no excuse why can't clean it now.
They don't know how, they just know how to destroy and blame
2:12 last building is now a Malawi building. it's some like rotten cabbage in there.
2:5 thst white building is now a dumpster.
Cleamer Safer Better than USA
50 years is a vey long time. I was still young them. What memories.

Correct. Varig Airlines was very big back in the day. Portugal had an airline called Sabina Airlines.
@@FZ2HELL Portugal's flag carrier has always been TAP. Are confusing it with Belgium's SABENA?
Yes I think I am. Thanks for the clarification.
I wish to see it this clean again
Only us, the citizens of this Country South Africa can make it beautiful and safe again. The moment we give up, the country will fall.
Too late.
Get rid of ANC in election
Citizens already have given up. Voter turnout was 45% in the 2021 municipal election. SA is doomed
We pay taxes...for what???
Too late
No beggars....because they didn't need to beg
That is true. Poor people sold corn brooms carpets coal and sugar cane on street from house to house.

No beggers because black people were not allowed in the city unless they had a working pass you ignorant prick!
@@afk3957 you must have blinkers on.....there are more unemployed people today under this Government, than then!!!!!
SPOTLESS!!!
Indeed. There was service delivery and everything worked. Then then ANC got its hands on the country...
There were no hawkers, hence the cleaness. Hawkers make the streets overcrowded and dirty.
Ooh WOW..
For me it was paradise then.
Enjoyed then and and still do today, my town
The suburbs are still great, because of the natural beauty, but the inner city is very dangerous.
It shows what white intelagence can do ,today it is Elon Musk another white South African
Lol
