We produce engineers from villages, but none go back to help. Yet some white so-called philanthropist will be the one to build some structure. Look at our kings, they hardly help develop their regions. The exception will be the Royal Bafokeng. The government has done a terrible job of giving instead of empowering people.

the biggest difference between successful people and poor people is the amount of children the poor people have compared to how much children the successful people can AFFORD to have. thats probably the best starting point!
I am a black south african and I can tell you that our people are disorganised. They want to do everything for money which they drink and compete about who lasts longer at a tavern. We seem to think that voting should deliver houses and water and everythiing. The government gives them RDP houses and they let those houses delapidate. I wish I was an organiser but I am not. I wish those that can organise would stand up and organise in their communities. I agree with all the utterances, they are not insults, they are facts. This video is envoking emotions in me and I need to take action just in my yard. Fixing my own yard will hopefully encourage other neighbours to fix theirs and the ripple effect may improve the entire community.
My brother-in-law in Belville helped to organize a problem street in their neighborhood in blocks. Each block has a team of volunteers maintaining and cleaning that block once a week in their spare time. They got plants donated by businesses , or extra plants out of peoples' gardens, to plant alongside the road. People from neighboring towns were so impresssed and started similar projects for themselves. It was done according to the broken windows theory. People need to learn to work together for the good of their community and to be responsible for their own neighborhood. It starts with small steps. You will also most of the times find successful people are more than willing to teach and guide you if you are humble enough to ask, and willing to learn.
I was cleaning the garbage dumo site in my neighborhood and everyone said i have lost my mind because no one is gonna pay me i said I'm doing it so we can have a cleaner environment to live in
In my area, when more black families moved in, it was a middle class area, and since this the area has been reclassified as a township. Over night crime went up, illegal communes owned by locals and rented out to illegal foreigners popped up everywhere, the place got dirtier, and people dump garbage everywhere despite there being a refuse service. The white/indian/Muslim people of the area are the ones who come out to clean it all, maintain the infrastruct and patrol the streets at night. Even so far as stopped land invations by EFF instigators. The ANC and much of the majority who inherited this country, took a giant shit on it, and blamed the stench on everyone else.
There are many reasons for our problems. The revolutionaries tell black people to blame everything on apartheid. The other problem is too many children. Be careful. History can tell you a lot. We should learn from those experiences.
Interesting. The too many children one... I do not agree with perhaps too many children being born outside of intact families. So, not the number of kids. Rather the family structure E.G no dad in the house. I do hear you though.
I disagree that this is a Black or race thing. I think this is a case of laziness or a focus on wanting others to provide. Look at Gaza, those people build terror tunnels from money donated to them and choose to live in slums. They not Black. So this a case where the world has more lazy people than self starters. It's sad that lazy people complain they have no money, cannot buy materials and all that bull. My father went only to std 6 school with no shoes on his feet. When he died at age 67 he was a multimillionaire. He worked so hard, i hardly saw him. He left home at 5am and came home at 10pm every day. I learnt so much just observing his zest for perfection. He paid my education during the midst of apatheid and made sure i graduated as an electronics engineer. I am grateful my father taught me how to have a goal in life and not wait for handouts. Lazy people must stop blaming others for their own nonsense. This laziness is a disease that infects people irrespective of their race.
The truth must be told, i black but i once bought a house in a better Sub when i was working for company operated by whites. When the anc government took over i lost everything and i was forced to live in RDP house. When i tried to develop my RDP,they said i don't qualify to live there because i got enough money i must go away from their house. When the anc tenders came to make pavements,they dug the sand pushed on our yards and left it. If you try to tell them to pickup the sand they have dug,they will promise to kill you.

I am sorry to differ with those who thinks South Africans do not build houses , those shacks you saw belongs to people who are from different countries including South Africa. Those are just convenience structures use to avoid higher accommodation rental. Have you ever been to Venda Limpopo, I hope you do one day,you won't utter such comments about South Africans again. Yeah maan, respect.

They dont build anything but ask them to break they will do that in seconds...they waiting for some else to build it for them so they can break it
They like it like this. A heap of rubble, no roads or pavements, which serve as shops, car parks and toilets among other things. You make it nice, give it to them and what do they do? They pull it apart, don't know how to fix it, so they leave a mess, which becomes a dump. And they keep voting for it. So, I guess they really love it like this.
Yes European you're right Africans don't know how to build infrastructure but we're not alone Native Americans and Indians also can't build. As an African I admit that we're not a superior race of scientists like European, Arabs and the Chinese but we're not stupid. The problem we have as Africans is tribalism wars.
You have said a lot and still missed the point... wow. On tribal wars: every people group on every continent has had tribal wars. That is just part of human society. Hence, I repeat... I think you missed the point.

@@TheRepublicToday Thank you and keep up the good work. Just found your channel. The faster people realise that the state will, if unconstrained, turn you into a dependent, the faster all South Africans can be truly free. The ANC sold us a lie in 1994. Black people in South Africa must realise, and fast, no one is coming to help you. Help yourself.
As a black from the Village I would say not all blacks live on the slums in the Cities. In Villages we grew up in well built houses and have gardens and farms full of vegetables and fruits we never went to bed hungry. We started seeing Shacks in the Cities/ Township. It's sad, 😢ANC promised FREE everything to them. If you speak about paying for something they will never agree with you. They even complain for services fees (water and electricity). They want all of this to be free because they voted ANC. Some of the things built for them get destroyed by them 😢😢. See black parks are a mess, Soccer fields, littering/illegal dumping sites🤦♀️
There is truth to what you are saying. Yet, the point I am making is broader than any one form of living and existence. It is a point about building societies and civilizations... Which applies for any form of living/existence. As in who builds better civilisations period. Why do black people seem to not be that good at it especially in this modern age. Thank you for your comment.
This is true I'm afraid..you can travel anywhere in Africa it's the same all over. They keep themselves in poverty. Go to a township, you will see children playing in the slum, adults walking over the slum but not even bothering to clean it up.bits a TRUTH but if you say it you get attacked

A lot of people do try to change things, but are pushed to the fringe because that innovative spirit isn't celebrated. Being different is a big problem in these environments because it threatens the power structure. How on earth can you change that?
This is Totally unfair to people who are made to believe they are free whereas they live in Grinding Poverty.Where are those who call themselves "Leaders"?
You can build but you struggle to maintain because you vote in governance according to race, tribalism and feelings instead of competence. You as a people are perfectly capable of great things but because of the way you vote your progress is stifled, flatlined or going downhill!

Not sure how is this comment helping
I like the calm way the narrator state most of the truths and if it takes you to an angry responds , then you are missing the point and it is time to rather face your reality. The truth do hurt at times but can be very helpful when acknowledged. After acknowledgement comes positive action. God helps those who helps themselves. Ask God for help because he is the giver of good gifts.
@The Republic, you share my sentiments....my conclusion is that there is a lack of true leadership in many Black South African communities...even 'leaders' on the ground, such as tribal leaders, seem to be waiting for the government. I remember asking local leaders in a rural area why they don't address the issue of unemployment within the community that they lead....I even suggested to them to try turn the community's subsistence farming fields into a more productive community farm where a higher volume of a variety of crops could be harvested for sale to big shops.....their answer was demoralizing to say the least..as all they could say was that "there are no farmers in our community". Imagine such an answer coming from a community "leader".
Oh my goodness..I never thought someone could express this publically. I've often wondered why they can't get organized and try to help themselves in a comunity. Not in their culture, deepset tribal mentality where there is always a chief ? Not a empathetic people who are concerned with their neighbors or land they living on? I don't have any hope for this ever to change.
@@elloohno1349 Schools do more than teach comprehension. They teach culture and social values. Thus, overlay an invisible "cleanness/no littering/paper pick-up/dustbin first" curriculum from day one. For all our children. When they grow up they will pass it on naturally to their children. It is a deep seated form of littering - it is fundamental or cultural. Thus, people do not teach their children not too because everyone in those communities litters. People do not even notice that they are doing it. Hence, it will take that level of intervention in my view to change a society so that they do not litter? Therefore...indoctrination. What did you think school were for. They are 60-80% indoctrination. What do you think is the solution?
I have been to many schools in Hamanskraal, Babelegi, Shoshanguve, Mamelodi. The school yards are filthy. Thats were it starts. Its a culture that needs to be culivated at a very young age!
They can organize national strikes though, one scheduled for 7th October, don't miss it. As for building, they built rondawels for centuries that could stand up to the elements, have they forgotten how to do it?
@@BrotherTshepang I actually hear what you are saying. Consider this though... men also build societies, civilisations and lead people groups to prosperity. That is the point in the video...
I just found your channel, good work. The people has a tradition on Headmen, if you go to places like the old Transkei and the Ciskei, the rural people there, although not very modern, but it is very clean and very well organized, they still have Headmen, the elders of the communities who marshall the people around projects an dmake sure communal stuff gets done. I grew up with those people and they are unaffected by politics, or the outside world, they are very friendly, helpfull, generous and will look after anybody if that person is in need. I could speak Xhosa before I could speak Afrikaans or English. Yes, the women over there are not in charge, the men are, and not any men, you must be older than 60 before you can command orders and get things done. They have a court system were people gets punished without getting the Police involved IT WORKS. Modernisation has elevated 20% of them but the rest struggle with the pace of modern life. The truth is that Blacks don't care about each other. they don't see poverty, the ones that thrive expects the rest to kiss their feet and honor them as if they are gods, it is foolish and stupid.

This channel is controversial af I know surprised RUclips doesn’t take down your videos. But I like it brother a people who cannot be critical of themself cannot grow
It's possibly a "memory" of old tribal patterns where "rooms" were actually individual huts. Of course apartheid accentuated the problem. Newly built township houses are soon ringed by "afdakkies" which means that old memories still stay intact even though these districts eventually morph into slums. Compounded by illegal immigrants from the rest of Africa - millions of them still pour into porous South African boundaries. Local councils are also ineffective.
The Boland and Overberg regions, Western Cape are overloaded with Sothos and others brought in as seasonal contract workers. They only go home on holidays and their tin shacks n& rubbish pollutes the entire area wherever they decide to set up house. Cable theft and crime follows. What control takes place by the municipalities?. Each person moving to there should immediately be registered by the respective councils and non compliants evicted from the area & sent packing home.

General lack of common interest for the collective good by adults (leaders) in the community...general helpless mentality.....ill discipline....all these and others lead to disorganization.... in any platform....be it community, schools, sports teams, etc. The difference between a formidable sports team and a poor one are the individual virtues that their members possess, such as discipline, determination, etc, which in turn birth collective virtues and propel the team forward.

You cant build on Informal settlement. Most informal settlement in South Africa are formed by people who come small towns and move to the uban cities for better opportunities. So in South Africa you are not allowed to build before the place is approved. Why can Nigerians build Makoko🙄
My dear lady, you have missed the point of the video. The thing that is at its core. I hope you have not missed it on purpose. The video is not about zoning, you know that...
One factor which contributes to abject poverty is the population among us black pool people, those who live in shacks are those who go to urban. areas & those who left their parents homes but to solely identify this kind of life only to black people is somewhere irrational, we do have black people who live in well organized communities with all the necessary services, running water, electricity so this has nothing to do with skin colour, having said that there is a lot to be done & it will need people like you with vision to live in a clean & well organized community.

People need to learn to work together for the good of their community and to be responsible for their own neighborhood. It starts with small steps. You will also most of the times find successful people are more than willing to teach and guide you if you are humble enough to ask, and willing to learn.
uncomfortable truth
thank you for your great work!
It is time that we all take personal accountability for our circumstances and stoo blaming others.
As long as they keep blaming others for their situation instead of taking responsibility for their own living conditions it'll never change.
Because they vote in parties like ANC and EFF, into power
And then they want to rule a country but can't do anything for themselves and blame anything on apartheid it's a disgrace
Our people must stop reliance on politicians and start doing things for themselves
@@MalusiNtsenge use Orania as an example to strive towards.
I was cleaning the garbage dumo site in my neighborhood and everyone said i have lost my mind because no one is gonna pay me i said I'm doing it so we can have a cleaner environment to live in
In my area, when more black families moved in, it was a middle class area, and since this the area has been reclassified as a township. Over night crime went up, illegal communes owned by locals and rented out to illegal foreigners popped up everywhere, the place got dirtier, and people dump garbage everywhere despite there being a refuse service. The white/indian/Muslim people of the area are the ones who come out to clean it all, maintain the infrastruct and patrol the streets at night. Even so far as stopped land invations by EFF instigators.
The ANC and much of the majority who inherited this country, took a giant shit on it, and blamed the stench on everyone else.
@@53ns3i you nailed the the people of the ANC took a dump on the country and expected people to thank them for it
There are many reasons for our problems. The revolutionaries tell black people to blame everything on apartheid. The other problem is too many children. Be careful. History can tell you a lot. We should learn from those experiences.
Interesting. The too many children one... I do not agree with perhaps too many children being born outside of intact families. So, not the number of kids. Rather the family structure E.G no dad in the house.
I do hear you though.
The money they earn the priorites is
1 Gucci suits and shoes
2 Enough money for shabeen weekends

They want everything free.
I disagree that this is a Black or race thing. I think this is a case of laziness or a focus on wanting others to provide. Look at Gaza, those people build terror tunnels from money donated to them and choose to live in slums. They not Black. So this a case where the world has more lazy people than self starters. It's sad that lazy people complain they have no money, cannot buy materials and all that bull. My father went only to std 6 school with no shoes on his feet. When he died at age 67 he was a multimillionaire. He worked so hard, i hardly saw him. He left home at 5am and came home at 10pm every day. I learnt so much just observing his zest for perfection. He paid my education during the midst of apatheid and made sure i graduated as an electronics engineer. I am grateful my father taught me how to have a goal in life and not wait for handouts. Lazy people must stop blaming others for their own nonsense. This laziness is a disease that infects people irrespective of their race.
The truth must be told, i black but i once bought a house in a better Sub when i was working for company operated by whites.
When the anc government took over i lost everything and i was forced to live in RDP house. When i tried to develop my RDP,they said i don't qualify to live there because i got enough money i must go away from their house.
When the anc tenders came to make pavements,they dug the sand pushed on our yards and left it. If you try to tell them to pickup the sand they have dug,they will promise to kill you.
Preach! Look at gov actions that you personally experienced and preach!

So true.
I am sorry to differ with those who thinks South Africans do not build houses , those shacks you saw belongs to people who are from different countries including South Africa. Those are just convenience structures use to avoid higher accommodation rental. Have you ever been to Venda Limpopo, I hope you do one day,you won't utter such comments about South Africans again. Yeah maan, respect.
The see a small portion of South Africa in the city and act like that how the rest the country is. They ignore that those places were made that way through government policy. There built from the start without planning or to ever be functional communities.
They dont build anything but ask them to break they will do that in seconds...they waiting for some else to build it for them so they can break it
They like it like this. A heap of rubble, no roads or pavements, which serve as shops, car parks and toilets among other things. You make it nice, give it to them and what do they do? They pull it apart, don't know how to fix it, so they leave a mess, which becomes a dump. And they keep voting for it. So, I guess they really love it like this.

As a black from the Village I would say not all blacks live on the slums in the Cities. In Villages we grew up in well built houses and have gardens and farms full of vegetables and fruits we never went to bed hungry. We started seeing Shacks in the Cities/ Township.
It's sad, 😢ANC promised FREE everything to them. If you speak about paying for something they will never agree with you. They even complain for services fees (water and electricity). They want all of this to be free because they voted ANC. Some of the things built for them get destroyed by them 😢😢. See black parks are a mess, Soccer fields, littering/illegal dumping sites🤦♀️
There is truth to what you are saying. Yet, the point I am making is broader than any one form of living and existence. It is a point about building societies and civilizations...
Which applies for any form of living/existence. As in who builds better civilisations period. Why do black people seem to not be that good at it especially in this modern age.

Anywhere on the continent- this is true. Entire countries can be described like this and neatly fit this model. What I dislike is the conformity of these socities, it isn't easy to propose or initiate anything without ruffling feathers. A lot of people do try to change things, but are pushed to the fringe because that innovative spirit isn't celebrated. Being different is a big problem in these environments because it threatens the power structure. How on earth can you change that?
This is Totally unfair to people who are made to believe they are free whereas they live in Grinding Poverty.Where are those who call themselves "Leaders"?
You can build but you struggle to maintain because you vote in governance according to race, tribalism and feelings instead of competence. You as a people are perfectly capable of great things but because of the way you vote your progress is stifled, flatlined or going downhill! You cannot blame white people for this it’s your vote you as black people are the majority and you rule so you cannot blame anyone else as we have no power at all within SA!

Scary thought if you are right... hopefully not entirely true. Time will tell though... you may be proven correct...?
I like the calm way the narrator state most of the truths and if it takes you to an angry responds , then you are missing the point and it is time to rather face your reality. The truth do hurt at times but can be very helpful when acknowledged. After acknowledgement comes positive action. God helps those who helps themselves. Ask God for help because he is the giver of good gifts.
They always after government salvation
@The Republic, you share my sentiments....my conclusion is that there is a lack of true leadership in many Black South African communities...even 'leaders' on the ground, such as tribal leaders, seem to be waiting for the government. I remember asking local leaders in a rural area why they don't address the issue of unemployment within the community that they lead....I even suggested to them to try turn the community's subsistence farming fields into a more productive community farm where a higher volume of a variety of crops could be harvested for sale to big shops.....their answer was demoralizing to say the least..as all they could say was that "there are no farmers in our community". Imagine such an answer coming from a community "leader".
So true. Great comment.
Oh my goodness..I never thought someone could express this publically. I've often wondered why they can't get organized and try to help themselves in a comunity. Not in their culture, deepset tribal mentality where there is always a chief ? Not a empathetic people who are concerned with their neighbors or land they living on? I don't have any hope for this ever to change.
littering is such a big problem! how can we solve it?
Indoctrination of school children.
@@TheRepublicToday indoctrination? education?
@@elloohno1349 Schools do more than teach comprehension. They teach culture and social values. Thus, overlay an invisible "cleanness/no littering/paper pick-up/dustbin first" curriculum from day one. For all our children. When they grow up they will pass it on naturally to their children.
It is a deep seated form of littering - it is fundamental or cultural. Thus, people do not teach their children not too because everyone in those communities litters. People do not even notice that they are doing it.
Hence, it will take that level of intervention in my view to change a society so that they do not litter? Therefore...indoctrination. What did you think school were for. They are 60-80% indoctrination.
What do you think is the solution?
I have been to many schools in Hamanskraal, Babelegi, Shoshanguve, Mamelodi. The school yards are filthy. Thats were it starts. Its a culture that needs to be culivated at a very young age!

I just found your channel, good work. The people has a tradition on Headmen, if you go to places like the old Transkei and the Ciskei, the rural people there, although not very modern, but it is very clean and very well organized, they still have Headmen, the elders of the communities who marshall the people around projects an dmake sure communal stuff gets done. I grew up with those people and they are unaffected by politics, or the outside world, they are very friendly, helpfull, generous and will look after anybody if that person is in need. I could speak Xhosa before I could speak Afrikaans or English. Yes, the women over there are not in charge, the men are, and not any men, you must be older than 60 before you can command orders and get things done. They have a court system were people gets punished without getting the Police involved IT WORKS. Modernisation has elevated 20% of them but the rest struggle with the pace of modern life. The truth is that Blacks don't care about each other. they don't see poverty, the ones that thrive expects the rest to kiss their feet and honor them as if they are gods, it is foolish and stupid.
no way , ive been to the kei lately its, just utter rubbish blowing around in the wind everywhere , you cant stop ANYWHERE without being hassled by beggers or people looking to steal something. that place used to be so rad!

The money got stolen.....simple.
It's possibly a "memory" of old tribal patterns where "rooms" were actually individual huts. Of course apartheid accentuated the problem. Newly built township houses are soon ringed by "afdakkies" which means that old memories still stay intact even though these districts eventually morph into slums. Compounded by illegal immigrants from the rest of Africa - millions of them still pour into porous South African boundaries. Local councils are also ineffective.
I like the way you are thinking about it. However, not sure that is it.
The Boland and Overberg regions, Western Cape are overloaded with Sothos and others brought in as seasonal contract workers. They only go home on holidays and their tin shacks n& rubbish pollutes the entire area wherever they decide to set up house. Cable theft and crime follows. What control takes place by the municipalities?. Each person moving to there should immediately be registered by the respective councils and non compliants evicted from the area & sent packing home.

The video is not about zoning, you know that...
why not rent in a proper house? they just love to live free ematyotyombeni plus they have most expensive items (kettles. bed...) in those shacks.
One factor which contributes to abject poverty is the population among us black pool people, those who live in shacks are those who go to urban. areas & those who left their parents homes but to solely identify this kind of life only to black people is somewhere irrational, we do have black people who live in well organized communities with all the necessary services, running water, electricity so this has nothing to do with skin colour, having said that there is a lot to be done & it will need people like you with vision to live in a clean & well organized community.
