"We don't need luxury, we only want to be comfortable." So inspirational and humble. Makes me realise how important smallest pleasures in life are. Truly motivating!
The days of crying racism has ended it is about the rich and poor now and the sad reality is that no one cares because the government wants to stay rich.
@@jahleelwasser8981 Nope. Racism is concept. I for example, i was lower middle class my whole life my parents were disabled and worked petty jobs, and all people i mingled with were same and lower. After I graduated with engineering and studied extra and worked so much in everything for years, now i am making good money but not 100,000$ a year but close to this, i stopped looking back at my people, because i am too busy sustaining or trying to grow more, and now interacting with middle to upper class on regular basis, thats how people operate now. They just too busy with their lives to desire to go extra to reach out to poor people.
The cANCer will keep on stealing without a single thought for the poor people who voted for them and, unfortunately, who will keep on voting for the band of thieving hypocrites.
@Jorge Tomasz Progressive black people get educated. They make sure when they have a child, that child will have that ability to have the best education. In a secular South Africa there is no way a person can be poor unless by choice. Blacks in South Africa have more opportunities due to BEE - Affirmative Action. !st to get high positions in term of Management post etc even with a lower pass rate than to non blacks.
philip whiteman ..I really believed that Nelson Mandela would change things....He was a truly great man who was influenced by some of the biggest crooked, lying, bastards that have come " out of Africa " .
philip whiteman There is one thing that has changed....the educationally challenged cANCer have become very very rich....there is one who had a swimming pool as a fire precaution !
@@wcstevens7 Mandela did a good thing, in that he avoided the slaughter his commie comrades were itching to begin. But he couldn’t root out a culture of laziness and corruption which was ascendant in the Winnie Mandela faction of the ANC. Mandela was the anomaly-The problem with the ANC is that it was a revolutionary anti-apartheid party-Best suited to winning the day. But not suited for the day to day operations of government. Old MK fighters with the AK-47 stashed under their beds did not make for good government ministers, businessmen, and the like. They needed jobs, and their children need a good education. But the upper echelons of the ANC care only for lining their own pockets and increasing their own power way beyond anything the National Party leadership ever conceived of. Mandela should have helped found more political parties, spread the power around. Instead he allowed the ANC to make South Africa into a one party state.
Today, there are very weathly Black people in South Africa, even more than most whites. To say that today, all the wealth is still White is untrue! There are many poor, homeless Whites as well.
Good to have a great leader that is honest, robust, reliable and visionary....... let's hope these communities get the help and the basic things they need in life..... 💯❤❤❤
With a positive mindset like Mary Mathews, there will always be growth. We can learn so much from her. Thanks to those who opened our eyes to an unfamiliar world and to be grateful for the least we have. God Bless
Peope move into slums so thry csn be near the cities. There are large areas of open lands in rural areas but people would rather not live there. They expect the ANC to come through for them . ANC leaders are only out for themselves
This is what happens when you try to do everything through a centralized govt. The entire political class’s pockets are lined before any of them even begin to worry about how they make themselves appear as though they are trying to deliver services. Get rid of politicians, keep the treasury, and strengthen the rand so the poorest with the fewest rands can afford the basics. Right now, the poorest have rands worth less and less and a government that takes the few resources available and squanders them.
Yes that's logical, but for those people it's hard to see it that way. First, because many of them didn't have access to sexual education, so they just don't know how to prevent having children. But mostly because having children is the only thing than can make them happier, or fill a hole in their lives, and give them a reason to fight for.
@@nicolasdc31121 It's cuz they're not thinking. You don't need sex education to know that having sex will result in a baby and if you have like 7 kids, you can only blame yourself.
Some of my colleagues aslo stay like this. I'm a white south african. Stay in the "leafy green suburban neighborhoods"...... Just a fun fact... We have been working for the same company for years. Get payed exactly the same.... They do get a 13th check at the bargaining council witch I don't get but other then that we get payed the same. My 2001 fiat uno does not compare to the nice cars they drive. I also pay allot to send my kid to a good school so that his kid can tell my kids one day about his white previlage
Because your black government is not doing much they are giving tenders to their friends relatives to develop these areas and there is little accountability of what has been done to ensure housing and sewage systems
Ive got so much respect for Mary Matthews- Well done for being an amazing community leader! And well done to all the other community leaders for trying to make change.
When you just build a house (shack) on land that doesn't belong to you then why would you expect the Gov't to provide services to you? I might also add that in regards to the statement "most of the people that live here are black" - the Gov't is also black so don't play the race card, Aparteid has been over for almost 20 years.
its called urban homesteading, building on abandoned land, hat do you expect them to do, pitch a tent on the sidewalk next to a plot of empty land?also if the rich get these services from the government, shouldnt the poor to get these services
The Rich & poor Will Never Be Equal No Matter What Country Your In. but If Ur Already Poor And Living In The Slums Maybe They Shouldnt Have kids Till they are Able To Care For Them Without Government Help. And That Goes For All races In Every Country.
Mr Fields. I couldn't agree with you more,if you have got into hard times why on earth would you want to make your own life harder by having more children.More importantly than making your own life harder, ask yourself if it is at all fair to the children, after all its not like kids have any say in the matter.
Sitting on their ass complaining and making babies they can't take care of. My empathy is there for those who are trying but not for those who are waiting on charity dream. The old now is a different subject and they should be taken care of best.
We must jakestart our ppl s thinking mate. It's not their fault they are sleeping....they are made to believe that it's someone else s fault that they suffer.....like whites think blacks are better now coz of reverse apartheid and no.....it's only that blacks are used to fending for themselves. Let's teach each other and survive
Excuse me? You call these slams? Then you have not been to Indian slams in mombai or Philippians slums These are luxury slums I'm sure Indian ppl would love these slums SA has got clean slums I've seen the worst in other countries and yet they hustle harder to make end meets. At least they have grants and satalite dishes. And well covered shakes. All they need is to get out of their comfort zone and work their butts off. I'm a black south African.....and I have said it!
True lebogang I was comparing too and ppl have not see outside world......In America there are slums worse than these chika. .... media has microwaved our intelligence to paps....they make sure listeners and readers are the dumbest..... Careful what you learn your people.
The ISN is a phenomenal, appropriate and ethical approach to giving stable housing with running water, electricity and toilets without relocating or tearing apart families!!!!!!! America could learn from this !!!!
My heart aches for those who fight for basic things that we as Americans take for granted😵 No! I do not & would Never spend that for a purse or anything else... Purses & Shoes $30k, $85k Cars $200k $300k So many could be helped with far less GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES
this also happening in Brazil, France, Dominican republic, and many more places. the only thing can change is through your money. stop buying the wealth people thing. what I am going to do here is boycott South African wine.
Renaldo Smith South African wine is an industry that employs hundreds of blacks some of whom have been given accommodation on the farms. Over the years I have spoken to many of the workers who told me that they are very happy with their lot. Boycotting SA wine or any other goods made in that country will only hurt the blacks more. The real target should be the cANCer, the totally corrupt, totally inept, commie “government” whose only interest is lining their own bottomless pockets and to hell with the idiotic electors who will keep returning them to power for the price of a T-shirt and bucket of KFC. Stupid is stupid forever.
They are free but hey need electricity, fresh water, sanitation etc, etc. There is nothing free in modern world. you have to work to get all those goodies, they don't grow on trees ! Lead a savage life if you don't understand this.
You know your a jackass and probably white, these people do whatever they can to make money. How dare you after all the oppression these people have been through and and the little that they earn they've done more in there lives than you've ever done in your sorry life they saved for those places, but still South Africa has not allotted these people regular jobs. People like you make me sick.
I could not afford to educate, house and feed more than one child so only had one....why do people keep having children they can't afford to look after?
@@Onlyinsound condoms are free at local health clinics which is basically everywhere. It's just, it's like a game to them. You get an allowance from the state for every child you have, up to R500,00 each month. Multiply that by 6 or 7 kids....
They must go back to the homelands until arrangements have been made where they can get a house when their turn is due . The waiting list is years and the conditions are filthy , unlike in the homelands where they plant food and attend local schools. There they live in tight knit communities and no one feels in danger like in the cities .Whites pay the tax and they are being killed or chased out of business due to new laws which dictate black management and shareholders ( up to 51 % of your business for free ) . So with fewer tax payers , 4 million to pay for the other 70 million , it is not feasible , and its getting worse by the month.
The only way forward is to develop a Hard Work ethic. If working hard is below you, then you will always have a hard time. Equal rights MEANS THAT ........... YOU ALSO HAVE TO WORK A 14 hour DAY, EVERY DAY. Just like every one else.
Rember south africa had an apartheid system that only ended in 1995 that favoured whites over other races so maybe there parents didnt have enough money to take them to school and have a proper education
This needs an update. The city now has 2million more people in 7 years, the council is spending billions upgrading the poorest areas. What other programs are being instituted to help the self builders with proper planning and building support for their self built houses. Ironically this funding has been available for 35 years but its not being accessed or used because people just don't know it exists plus the labels applied just dont do justice to the complex situation. There are those that just refuse to pay council taxes and when areas are upgraded, they move to a new unpopulated area and set up again. Not everyone is like this and for those who want the organisation and structure, it needs to be provided in a super organised way.
In an area near Cape Town,with just a road between them, are 2 squatter camps. One is kept clean and looked after.The other is a filthy ,unhigienic place,because the inhabitants wait for "someone else" to clean up their places.....
Free doesn't help. Now you need to learn how to work. And not just a worker but like an business owner. Taking ownership instead being employed. Scary? Isn't it? Not so easy as Mandela said
may god bless this woman now if they could see every one of poverty black or white and help them learn to love one another may god bless them with love and light
That just shows how much the ANC care about their own people. But it is so easy to blame the white man. Why, why are you still voting for a bad goverment? My heart goes out to you for what you have to endure.
What separates the poor from the rich was never RACE It's MINDSET See the poor will always find someone to blame... They linger around hoping that the government does something to help them... The rich are smart individuals who work smart and earn a great life in the long run they don't wait for the government to help THEM!
They need to start earning money. Easier said than done but the government could help. Employ specialist who can come up with ideas for these poor people to start producing things. They dont need to be complex ideas. Make hammocks, shoes, furniture for export. Government can easily seed these types of businesses.
I watch these so i will never complain about the relative hunger or minor suffering i have 2 go thru. I miss working in developing countries. Would like 2 go back to serve the needy at some stage.
Dude it's so sad I wish I could do something to help but I'm just a younger tryna get into college Im Indian but have spent a lot of time in Alexandra and Soweto where we have a feeding scheme
No it was not beautiful before apartheid ended. Our people had no rights and were physically and emotionally abused on a daily basis. We have much poverty today but the best thing that happened to us was the end of that horrible system that the previous government forced us into. Please think before you make these comments.People died during apartheid for no reason other than the colour of their skin. Stevie Wonder wrote a beautiful song called 'I am singing' which was a prophetic song about love and unity for all South Africans. Let's hope we achieve that someday.
@@hippiechic9441 you need to do some research! Here in America we were slaves and beaten and humiliated. In SA the whites did not want blacks to indulge in ANY kind of way in the community that THEY created except if they wanted to work for them. Also they did not want interracial relationships. On the black side which is Soweto Johannesburg ect black people could do whatever they wanted they could have built their own communities and created their own jobs. But instead they fought and fought to be in Cape Town. And once they got in they built a massive slum right in beautiful Cape Town. It’s shameful!
Poverty in South Africa is both the result of the abolishing of Apartheid. The black South Africans were poor already, but they all had jobs. Thanks to the Presidents after Mbeki this is what South Africa is made. Somewhere I feel that this video is made to bring apartheid view. Back somewhere. The guard is white, and all poor people's are black. However, white poverty is a massive problem too.
So they live in the slums because there isn't housing available for them or because there aren't government programs to pay for adequate housing for them? This doesn't seem a life for any person to have to live.
You make jobs and money and anything a God can do or will do its out of your hands. God never build a bridge or sharpen a knife but you did. Change is not prayed for to God but you change things there and then need be. Learn to be God's that you are truly
Get educated. Get a job, any job... can't find a job, make a broom and start cleaning and sweeping the streets. Get a group of people to help sweep the streets. Start picking up trash and putting it one location. Ask for help to pick up trash, kids and women will help. Start to organize groups to improve their lives. Show people how to improve their lives by example... What are you beginning? You're doing what white people do to improve and succeed in life.
There are no jobs that will accept their resume. And it take money to start a business. It is like the US in the Great Depression when 70% of people of all races were unemployed. White men had 7 kids and no jobs until World War II brought the nations economy back up.
It would be nice if Africa can learn to build mobile homes and create parks for its affordable housing effort. That’s where the working poor live in the states.
I grew up in the projects, hands down I like the mobile homes better because you have more privacy. People underneath us always complained about noise, which is impossible because everything was made from concrete. I still think mobile homes would make a great investment and you can even have air conditioning and ceiling fans. Projects you can’t have nothing, not even a washing machine.
Thank you municipality of CAPE Town, real formal settlement is good when you have no way of employment and money to buy better than this. 👋Happy ending 🌈👍😁😍
This is very sad. 27 years ago the ANC defeated apartheid and Mandela promised a Rainbow nations for all creeds. One of the things the black population wanted was to be rid of these townships that resemble third world poverty. What happened, because clearly little has improved for the very people that fought for a brighter future?
that is a problem about black people is like someone own them to leave their life we expecting someone to make life for us if we can teach our child to prevent early sex so that they can not have much baby our life would be valuable because we would now how to manager ourselves let us not stop pointing fingers let us start to do for us
Perhaps the issue here isn't so much people 'choosing' to have 5 children? Maybe they just need better education and access to contraception in order to be able to actively family plan?
these people are so humble especially the lady with the trolley, it is beautiful to see that the community stand together

The only way forward is to develop a Hard Work ethic.
If working hard is below you, then you will always have a hard time.
Equal rights MEANS THAT ........... YOU ALSO HAVE TO WORK A 14 hour DAY, EVERY DAY.
Just like every one else.
Rember south africa had an apartheid system that only ended in 1995 that favoured whites over other races so maybe there parents didnt have enough money to take them to school and have a proper education
This needs an update. The city now has 2million more people in 7 years, the council is spending billions upgrading the poorest areas. What other programs are being instituted to help the self builders with proper planning and building support for their self built houses. Ironically this funding has been available for 35 years but its not being accessed or used because people just don't know it exists plus the labels applied just dont do justice to the complex situation. There are those that just refuse to pay council taxes and when areas are upgraded, they move to a new unpopulated area and set up again. Not everyone is like this and for those who want the organisation and structure, it needs to be provided in a super organised way.
In an area near Cape Town,with just a road between them, are 2 squatter camps. One is kept clean and looked after.The other is a filthy ,unhigienic place,because the inhabitants wait for "someone else" to clean up their places.....
Can anyone tell me when these shanty towns were built?
1992
Apartheid era
Im so thankkfull
Free doesn't help. Now you need to learn how to work. And not just a worker but like an business owner. Taking ownership instead being employed. Scary? Isn't it? Not so easy as Mandela said
Exactly.
may god bless this woman now if they could see every one of poverty black or white and help them learn to love one another may god bless them with love and light
these comments are shocking wtf :o
whats not shocking is they will say it online but not to our face.
This is nothing if compared to slums in my country
That just shows how much the ANC care about their own people. But it is so easy to blame the white man. Why, why are you still voting for a bad goverment? My heart goes out to you for what you have to endure.
What separates the poor from the rich was never RACE
It's MINDSET
See the poor will always find someone to blame... They linger around hoping that the government does something to help them...
The rich are smart individuals who work smart and earn a great life in the long run they don't wait for the government to help THEM!
Preach
True
How can we donate to support ISN ?
They need to start earning money. Easier said than done but the government could help.
Employ specialist who can come up with ideas for these poor people to start producing things. They dont need to be complex ideas. Make hammocks, shoes, furniture for export. Government can easily seed these types of businesses.
Yes they could but they won't they want to keep the white rule, you of all people should know that.
@@allybean8885 The ANC wants to keep white rule you say! Are you serious?
@@grahamt5924 No the white people do and that's why they're hoarding money.
@@allybean8885 The government collects tax and is by far the biggest mover of money in a country. Your saying the ANC are powerless?
@@grahamt5924 When it comes to old power and old money yes, just like the US.
I watch these so i will never complain about the relative hunger or minor suffering i have 2 go thru. I miss working in developing countries. Would like 2 go back to serve the needy at some stage.
Dude it's so sad I wish I could do something to help but I'm just a younger tryna get into college Im Indian but have spent a lot of time in Alexandra and Soweto where we have a feeding scheme
Country leaders world government need to give money jobs and build Affordable brick homes God bless their souls.
I hate to say it but Cape Town was beautiful before apartheid ended and allow them to move-in
No it was not beautiful before apartheid ended. Our people had no rights and were physically and emotionally abused on a daily basis. We have much poverty today but the best thing that happened to us was the end of that horrible system that the previous government forced us into. Please think before you make these comments.People died during apartheid for no reason other than the colour of their skin. Stevie Wonder wrote a beautiful song called 'I am singing' which was a prophetic song about love and unity for all South Africans. Let's hope we achieve that someday.
@@hippiechic9441 you need to do some research! Here in America we were slaves and beaten and humiliated. In SA the whites did not want blacks to indulge in ANY kind of way in the community that THEY created except if they wanted to work for them. Also they did not want interracial relationships. On the black side which is Soweto Johannesburg ect black people could do whatever they wanted they could have built their own communities and created their own jobs. But instead they fought and fought to be in Cape Town. And once they got in they built a massive slum right in beautiful Cape Town. It’s shameful!
15:31 900 million people is like half the world, maybe I should be more thankful
Nah our population is more than 7 billion
I wonder how much of this is because of inequality or because of the psychology of poverty. That is the real question.
Poverty in South Africa is both the result of the abolishing of Apartheid. The black South Africans were poor already, but they all had jobs. Thanks to the Presidents after Mbeki this is what South Africa is made. Somewhere I feel that this video is made to bring apartheid view. Back somewhere. The guard is white, and all poor people's are black. However, white poverty is a massive problem too.
A Reminder of the Apaartheid Era
This was the 'richest' country in the World ¿¿
No it wasn’t lol
@@Elijah-zy6ce yes it was
Yes it was
Socialism did it again 🙂👍🏻
Everyone its equal
Equaly poor...
Beware of champagne socialists who woo you for votes and live like kings wasting suckers' taxes. .
South Africa is not socialist, but it sure is run by socialists.
Someone needs to start a go fund me page for these folks. Begin the upgrade !!!
26 years after apartheid rule and blacks are happy to get a home made out of a shipping container😂🤫🤔
@bastia Mars Things are gonna get worse, recessions coming.
@MOVIES SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
But poor Blacks in the US are the poorest of all Americans.
So I..searched white slums in SA..there are 80..but can't find them on yt..yt probably banned them
There's Brandon; you souold google Skoter camps in SA. You might get a clue!
squater...
There is now an indigenous government in place .Why are they not changing things? They have had since 1994. 29 years.
My heart aches ❤
You tube stop posting ads.
So they live in the slums because there isn't housing available for them or because there aren't government programs to pay for adequate housing for them? This doesn't seem a life for any person to have to live.
May grace cover you all....1❤️💛💚🖤
FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BUT IT WILL NEVER CHANGE.YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND THERE ARE NO JOBS
You make jobs and money and anything a God can do or will do its out of your hands. God never build a bridge or sharpen a knife but you did. Change is not prayed for to God but you change things there and then need be. Learn to be God's that you are truly
So they just steal electricity😂😂😂
I think you have a black government for almost 20 years now why are not you feeling better?
How ignorant!!!!!! This comment.... 😕

Get educated. Get a job, any job... can't find a job, make a broom and start cleaning and sweeping the streets. Get a group of people to help sweep the streets. Start picking up trash and putting it one location. Ask for help to pick up trash, kids and women will help. Start to organize groups to improve their lives. Show people how to improve their lives by example... What are you beginning? You're doing what white people do to improve and succeed in life.
There are no jobs that will accept their resume. And it take money to start a business. It is like the US in the Great Depression when 70% of people of all races were unemployed. White men had 7 kids and no jobs until World War II brought the nations economy back up.
Some parts of America are just like this! :)
No there is not. Even the poorest areas or most dangerous areas are not as bad as this.
@Lei P
Ran by Democrats?
Not even close not even our poorest parts are like this
i really dont understand how can have like 8 kids while you live in poverty.... Stop breeding like crazy if you cant afford annything
But I love this. Upgrade and stay where you are
It would be nice if Africa can learn to build mobile homes and create parks for its affordable housing effort. That’s where the working poor live in the states.
Most of those homes looked like they were made out of shipping containers anyway
Namely poor Whites. Most poor Blacks live in "the projects" of (insert major US city).
I grew up in the projects, hands down I like the mobile homes better because you have more privacy. People underneath us always complained about noise, which is impossible because everything was made from concrete. I still think mobile homes would make a great investment and you can even have air conditioning and ceiling fans. Projects you can’t have nothing, not even a washing machine.
have some babies
Ten more should do. There is no cure for stupidity.
What happened to my last comment?
Damn. Slaves lived in better conditions.
The slaves were some ones property.As Napoleon once said an army fights on it stomach.
It’s like that everywhere , if you work hard and save you’ll live in a nice area if not you’ll be in the slums
Yes I agree the governmet always want to stay rich. That is the biggest problem.
Thank you municipality of CAPE Town, real formal settlement is good when you have no way of employment and money to buy better than this. 👋Happy ending 🌈👍😁😍
Poverty creates crime
Real people .
SerpentZA made me come here from ADV China
This is very sad. 27 years ago the ANC defeated apartheid and Mandela promised a Rainbow nations for all creeds. One of the things the black population wanted was to be rid of these townships that resemble third world poverty. What happened, because clearly little has improved for the very people that fought for a brighter future?
that is a problem about black people is like someone own them to leave their life we expecting someone to make life for us if we can teach our child to prevent early sex so that they can not have much baby our life would be valuable because we would now how to manager ourselves let us not stop pointing fingers let us start to do for us
Maybe don't have five kids when you are living in a shack without running water
Don't see many white people in this video
Over 50% of the wealth in the world is controlled by 2% ....
Perhaps the issue here isn't so much people 'choosing' to have 5 children? Maybe they just need better education and access to contraception in order to be able to actively family plan?
They need better education and community leadership to help themselves.
Anthony Monacelli. They are literally setting fire to the universities. They want free money
Have less children
Since 1990...that's how long they been waiting ? 😱😒
