You also have the opportunity to directly support the people and organizations featured in the documentary: www.share-doc.org/d/69001 While some have given up hope, there are those in Khayelitsha actively pushing for change, refusing to sit by and do nothing. This documentary pivots between the 'good' and the 'bad,' weaving together stories from both sides of the law. It explores the resilience and struggle of those trying to survive, as the police do all they can with limited resources. What does it take to survive living in Khayelitsha? This film seeks to answer that question, shedding light on the complex dynamics at play in one of the world's most challenging environments.
Whaaaaooooo. Had some flashbacks on the days i worked there as a police officer. If i didn't left years ago i would have been dead today. Criminals don't have any fear or respect for police. Has lost a few colleagues the time i was there. I have been shoot at, stabbed, assaulted 3 times and countless dangerous situations. May God Protect the police and all the people helping keeping the community safe.
Khayelitsha is no joke. In 2022, I was doing my 2nd year at University of Cape Town, one of my classmates had a cousin in Khayelitsha that he used to visit from time to time… then came to this one visit during a random weekend, we did not see him the start of the following week. He got robbed and stabbed…he unfortunately did not make it.💔
Godless? I don't agree. More about poverty. I see deeply entrenched poverty put in place by the old government. Over and over you hear how the young guys are forced to crime to make a living for themselves and their families.
Can we please appreciate the women who are patrolling , unarmed,no protection from police and unemployed. God bless them. Such people need to be appreciated more for the effort they make into trying to make a postive change.
Documentaries like this need should be required viewing for MPs and other politicians. I only wish to be as rich as they are so I can support those men and women, the true heroes.
It’s no secret that the SA police are amongst the most corrupt in the world…communities depend on private security to protect their neighborhoods, the police don’t even show up most of the time.
@@Shanzo04 reporters and journalists only have one mandate.. to report information and document. They aren’t law enforcement informants.. that would defeat the whole point
@@GodsSon-888 we as south africans need to stand together and start something build a community amongst us and go place to place and clear this up cauise saps is usless
As South African black men we really need to self-reflect on the pain that we are bringing our communities and townships. Our vulnerable women have to patrol the streets while we sit and do nothing to protect them.
Luwela, I RESPECT You, Sir. Keep up the GOOD work, and God will reward and protect you. You are the light in your community, keep shining! God is with you. God Bless, Son.of.god.corbin
I have to acknowledge that this is an extremely brave documentary, huge appreciation for this piece of work. It spans well from the broad scope of different challenges between Violence and Crime, while showcasing prevention initiatives by the active communities.
Went to high school with Litha one of the guys featured on the "Langa For Men" segment of the video, we shared classes even, bro was a pretty chill dude, never really got into it with nobody, glad he's turning his life around, wish all the best for him.
Imagine if all these different gangs worked together to enrich their community instead of tearing it down. Their government is winning because they can divide them and keep them fighting while they funnel community funds. Killing each other over what? We are all in this together. Unity is the only way we get to a more just society
A big problem is that people in gangs and involved with crime don’t feel involved in society at all, so they don’t care about making where they live worse. People not caring is actually the biggest issue
Hi Katlego. I'm a concerned citizen , thanks to you me and my family have a better view on the political situation. Whe dont have SABC or DSTV, whe only follow it on RUclips. Your research and hard work is a eye-opener to all of us and to rest of the people of South Africa that are concerned , never mind your race or back ground.

@everythingButTheRat I would think you're speaking from a different side of the lens because someone living there for 20 30 40 years has grown to sort of accept their living conditions. It is their normal. Fighting crime and earning a living, for their families. Saying a community with challenges should not have children would be futile and inhumane. A better approach would be creating employment and meeting this community at their needs. Alleviating poverty. I liked the ladies vigilante group suggesting govt. should offer some stipend and PPEs, that would be fantastic. Their work is a good start.
@everythingButTheRat You're right. Really sad how it's cyclical until you leave the place and see things differently. I also think sometimes it's not "I'm making a baby" it may well be "oops, I'm preggers" so, there goes the sense in trying to get someone to work hard and plan ahead. But you wouldn't find the ministers or the authorities saying people should not have babies. It's...I don't know. Awkward? Hence I said it'd be better to help them with the things they are able to provide. But I agree, reproductive health education is just as important as helping people get jobs.
It is truly the bibilical Sodom and Gomorrah! Godforsaken and an unmatched depravity and evil permeates my very being whenever I venture into Khayelitsha.
It's not a joke boet. I work in private security in gauteng. SAPS are prime targets for criminals. They're usually ambushed, killed and their weapons and body armor stolen. If you think its a joke I ask you to sign up for SAPS or private security and try to work in these areas. We're not allowed to go into townships at night without using armoured bakkies and the police usually have to use nyalas to go into certain areas because they get shot at the moment people see them
I remember when I was in grade 2,there was a boy in my class who passed away because of a gang shoot out. Now thinking of it’s crazy but it wasn’t then.I remember watching a man being robbed right in front of us and him screaming for help but no one did. My mom was almost raped but a car approached and took her home( I believe that was an angel sent by Jesus). I also remember (lol) there was a dead body outline for a couple of days on the street, such a psychologically twisting thing to see all the time. Living in Cape Town is not glamorous but South Africans especially people of colour are such amazing survivors and so faithful to God, I’m always filled with awe. I’m not from Khayelitsha but Steenberg/ lavender hill side.
😂😂😂😂my heart was beating so fast when I watched that scene!I always make sure I live my phone at home when going to shops or anywhere.those boys will sit and wait like hyenas
I am black and I do not and will not set foot in any cape flats or township. It is extremely dangerous. Even when people say they going to rands I stay behind. I’m not gonna risk my life. It extremely dangerous 😢
@@itsnevertoolatetodotherigh3271 So him being afraid to set foot in one of the most dangerous communities in the whole country is irrational? So what word is used to define someone who makes an "irrational" response after hearing someone talking about being afraid to enter a dangerous place?
Here in Greece, if you rob a car next corner they get you. I have been in Johannesburg and when I saw Street signs like "Crash and grab", "high Risk area" etc... I was like "seriously?".

Now things are completely better compared to what it was. I hope Justice comes one day in SA and changes everything for good! Amen! 🙏

For us as coloureds and blacks in Cape Town we need to stop the bickering amongst ourselves truly we hate each other and when we actually spend time together it's a lovely time. We become close because we're the same in most ways.
@@melanchorly7618 really ,I got African friends at university they are loving..look at Gayton McKenzie And Kenny kunene ❤️🇿🇦 Ubuntu..it's these whites that's separate us.
@@deathlarsen7502 Absolutely, I live in the UK and the areas here with high unemployment brings more social ills, drug abuse, gangs, higher crime. Enlighten yourself mate by doing some basic research.
Thank God that El Salvador is today free from these crimes, my country suffered of years of extortions of gangs, killers. Thanks to the new now president Nayid Bukele . God had, has mercy of my country 🙏🙏.
I am a teacher in Site B. I have experienced 5 attempted hijackings in 2.5 years. Education is so poor in the area. Many (if not most) of our children do not finish school. I think the youth unemployment rate is about 60 %. Serious intervention is needed in the schools. Some schools are riddled with corruption as well, but the government does not address it. Youngsters need quality education to escape this misery.
You seem to misunderstand the definition of a gang. The word "gang" is not simply a synonym for the word "group". A gang is a "group" that exists for the sole intent of committing crimes. That police and association in this video are trying to block criminals, so they don't qualify to be defined as a gang.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior I don't know where you live but in South Africa everyone is well aware that the police is also involved in extortion and other crime. Even during covid, a lot of police people stole things during raids of thefts that were committed in the lockdown period.
Im South African and even this shocks me , I'm from Joburg and have been robbed 6 times but this is a different ball game, so many lives lost - it's just very sad
I got no words, I used to be in these areas all the time, any hour of the day as a foreigner, I'm no longer in south Africa, wish all the best for khayelitsha people, site C, site B, GOD bless everybody
Saddest thing to have watched in a very long time. Been to Cape Town many times I didnt know there are people living in such crime infested conditions. It's terribly sad the way Cape Town is teeming with tourists. While we are enjoying the beach people are scared for their lives
Please don't and I repeat don't go there next time you visit again . I stayed in Site B in 2008 and Ilitha park till 2010. By God's grace I came out unscathed.
"If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among My people, and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
I lived in Cape Town from 2008 to 2017. As an outsider, I observed that Cape Town residents could benefit from learning to love and respect each other, including strangers. They often lack the basic humanity that encourages treating others with kindness and respect. In every other province I've visited, a simple gesture like greeting a strangers is commonplace, but this practice seemed unfamiliar to many people I met when I lived in Cape Town. It got to a point thay when I left Cape Town , I had to consiously unlearn that.
Yah it is a strange thing to be greeted by someone you dont know ekapa, its a sign of fear or there is something you want to say xa undibulisa ndingakwazi, so we are very skeptical, nam i moved away from cape town and ive had to adjust klowei of not being offended by being greeted by strangers
It's hard doing business when power is out (2023 worst ever), when we are greylisted for corruption and terror financing, etc. and tbh are you even sure DA are there or not just in CT next door. If I was them and I was in charge of Khayelitsha i'd prioritize education, just saying.
How can we still have such ignorance .......... let me educate you FIRSTLY they do not control SAPS. This is the job of the national Govt. The DA has been pushing for years to take control of SAPS so that they can tackle crime ... but the govt wont allow them to. Also did you forget that Helen Zille instituted an inquiry into SAPS in this area? The ANC took her to court to stop it and lost! After the inquiry that national government was supposed to implement recommendations to deal with the findings and to this day, they have done NOTHING for the people of Khayelitsha .... so before you make comments like this... get the facts!
The unfortunate part is it would take quite alot to get the township/ community in one peace. The freedom on drug n firearms movement, corruption at the hands of those we should be trusting (Police Services) it will require real deep cleaning. Growing up we knew gangs as the protector of the community, we knew safety (no extortion) because its people we live with in communities. Now we fear even going to the shop, we keep gates locked 24/7. Its really sad I myself live in Khayelitsha and had suffered in hands of gangs unfortunately. Great document, thank you Everyone keep safe out there.
It’s reminds of when I was growing up during apartheid it was dangerous in our township because of gangs and there were no cops available during apartheid, this is the proper proof that apartheid is not over in some places in South Africa 🇿🇦. Government must not allow informal settlement people who are coming to townships must have RDP right away.
I actually have a very beautiful ex-girlfriend that stays there. I tried to get her out of that Hood and bring her to Gauteng, she hated the Johannesburg lifestyle for her own reasons and eventually went back down there. I’m happy she still alive but this kinda docie burns me inside. Tried to get her to Uni but she was happy to work for peanuts there instead of upgrading her life citing a lot of excuses 🚮💔
😢.what i can tell u is it's not easy to leave CP more special when one grew up here like me.i once visited my father at Witbank two weeks felt like 2 months I just couldn't fit in!
@@kholiswamnyazana1292 😅I get you. But that’s always the case for everyone, your first few months/year in a new place will be hard but eventually you get used to it. I think that struggle is better than being exposed to gangsterism, that’s just my view🤷♂️
Make a documentary about NYANGA that's where I'm from and trust me crime and killing is on the high and it was in the top 5 most dangerous places in the world
no camera crew will be safe there. why risk their life for doccie? people who live there must film and post to tiktok and youtube. but your phone will be stolen. feral people.
@MantjororoMatsimela-jn5hv exactly. I've been to Khayelitsha and Gugs bt Nyanga is another continent altogether. Oh hell nah. My Uber driver told us after we landed
I also hear stories from the city workers that often the people in the area attack or rob the workers working on the drain or electricity infrastructure. So they do not go into those areas - for their own safety.
Only so much a party can do buddy , unfortunately if people don't want to be governed they will destroy anything , the problem comes from people blaming the government instead of taking matters into their own hands.
And also, black people in general are the majority in our country. So the stats will always be skewed when you want to look at things like that. And again, the western cape is doing a pretty good job with services in such high crime areas compared to other poverty stricken areas in Limpopo for example where there are no halls, no libraries, no parks, no public swimming pools, no clinics, no saps, no housing, I could go on. The mere fact that the township is this crowded speaks to the plenty of job opportunities the city creates.
Lol I'm from South Africa in Durban and have been to visit family in Kayelitsha and to be honest if you know someone there it's safe but if you don't it's very risky but the people and culture is beautiful and vibrant ❤
@@viewviewview1236 I was thinking exaclty the same. I don't give a **** about "beautiful and vibrant" when I am almost certain to end up being robbed or with a bullet in my head

Now things are completely better compared to what it was.
I hope Justice comes one day in SA and changes everything for good!
Amen! 🙏

I'm coloured,I hope my African brothers make wise decision I speak alot with my gangster friends also ,crime don't pay.❤🇿🇦I know the pain ..
For us as coloureds and blacks in Cape Town we need to stop the bickering amongst ourselves truly we hate each other and when we actually spend time together it's a lovely time. We become close because we're the same in most ways.

Where the unemployment rate is high, crime is also high. Its a fact of economics
It's a fact of fatherless communities. No leadership, no wealth.
it is a fact?
@@deathlarsen7502 Absolutely, I live in the UK and the areas here with high unemployment brings more social ills, drug abuse, gangs, higher crime. Enlighten yourself mate by doing some basic research.

Thank God that El Salvador is today free from these crimes, my country suffered of years of extortions of gangs, killers. Thanks to the new now president Nayid Bukele . God had, has mercy of my country 🙏🙏.
Those women patrolling honestly brought tears to my eyes. There are such good people in our country
I am a teacher in Site B. I have experienced 5 attempted hijackings in 2.5 years.
Education is so poor in the area. Many (if not most) of our children do not finish school.
I think the youth unemployment rate is about 60 %.
Serious intervention is needed in the schools. Some schools are riddled with corruption as well, but the government does not address it.
Youngsters need quality education to escape this misery.
Yes good education as well as jobs and good stable family life is what is needed for people in a community to flourish and do well.
God laughs
It takes over a year to legally own a firearm in South Africa. But these guy get them with no trouble.
They steal them or they buy them illegally off the black market.
@@johnm84 so these restrictive gun laws only hamper law abiding citizens. Criminals can get them like candy.
@@Bluecollarjoe6B9 Yes that's right.
I am certain crime would go down if law-abiding citizens had access to firearms and training.
Plot twist... the taxi association is another big gang while SAPS is the 4th number
You forgot to mention our government Is the no 1 gangster no wonder we have so many organized crime gangsters
You seem to misunderstand the definition of a gang. The word "gang" is not simply a synonym for the word "group". A gang is a "group" that exists for the sole intent of committing crimes. That police and association in this video are trying to block criminals, so they don't qualify to be defined as a gang.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior
I think they do qualify as a gang, aren't they the ones behind the extortion?
@@angrysocialjusticewarriorthe police see to the distribution of arms to these gangs, so yes they are criminals
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior I don't know where you live but in South Africa everyone is well aware that the police is also involved in extortion and other crime. Even during covid, a lot of police people stole things during raids of thefts that were committed in the lockdown period.
Im South African and even this shocks me , I'm from Joburg and have been robbed 6 times but this is a different ball game, so many lives lost - it's just very sad
6???? Thats insane for someone living in the suburbs
Yeah looks like they are living on a salt lake, industrial development a pipe dream. Very strong people though.
6 times? Jesus Christ
That's traumatising, hopefully ur doing well now
I got robbed 12 times bru
8 time jhb and 4 times mp
This breaks my heart in so many ways, yet so inspired by those who want to build and uplift their communities.
I got no words, I used to be in these areas all the time, any hour of the day as a foreigner, I'm no longer in south Africa, wish all the best for khayelitsha people, site C, site B, GOD bless everybody
What bests are you wishing for thugs? Where you part of them
You are mad not everyone is a thug in Khayelitsha what’s your problem
@nomvelisonqono5908 every ghetto boy child go through thuggery in South Africa. You can't even buy in peace at the Spazza shop
Not me being shocked while living in Enyanga, CPT. Which is far worse and deadly than Khayelitsha😂
😂😂😂😂
I'm in Langa it's much better APHA yjo 😂😂
Mfuleni is crazy too 😂
Samora Machel is worse in fact all these townships are deadly and scary. 😭😭😭😥😥
Since we're mentioning our kasi's, I'm on planet earth and there's a 110% crime rate out here.
Saddest thing to have watched in a very long time. Been to Cape Town many times I didnt know there are people living in such crime infested conditions. It's terribly sad the way Cape Town is teeming with tourists. While we are enjoying the beach people are scared for their lives
That's what we keep telling people when the DA boasts of good governance
the ruling DA does not care about Africans
Cape Town is globally known for being an extremely dangerous and crime ridden city, so I’m definitely calling bs you as a South African ”didn’t know”.
Please don't and I repeat don't go there next time you visit again . I stayed in Site B in 2008 and Ilitha park till 2010. By God's grace I came out unscathed.
gee wee!!! no thanks!!!!!!
"If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among My people, and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
I lived in Cape Town from 2008 to 2017. As an outsider, I observed that Cape Town residents could benefit from learning to love and respect each other, including strangers. They often lack the basic humanity that encourages treating others with kindness and respect. In every other province I've visited, a simple gesture like greeting a strangers is commonplace, but this practice seemed unfamiliar to many people I met when I lived in Cape Town. It got to a point thay when I left Cape Town , I had to consiously unlearn that.
Yah it is a strange thing to be greeted by someone you dont know ekapa, its a sign of fear or there is something you want to say xa undibulisa ndingakwazi, so we are very skeptical, nam i moved away from cape town and ive had to adjust klowei of not being offended by being greeted by strangers
I love that narrator buddy pronounced Khayelitsha perfect to the tee
World Class Documentary.👏🏾
I have seen better
Yet the DA says they doing a great job, the money would rather go to save the rhino
It's hard doing business when power is out (2023 worst ever), when we are greylisted for corruption and terror financing, etc.
and tbh are you even sure DA are there or not just in CT next door. If I was them and I was in charge of Khayelitsha i'd prioritize education, just saying.
The DA doesn't control SAPS.
How can we still have such ignorance .......... let me educate you FIRSTLY they do not control SAPS. This is the job of the national Govt. The DA has been pushing for years to take control of SAPS so that they can tackle crime ... but the govt wont allow them to. Also did you forget that Helen Zille instituted an inquiry into SAPS in this area? The ANC took her to court to stop it and lost! After the inquiry that national government was supposed to implement recommendations to deal with the findings and to this day, they have done NOTHING for the people of Khayelitsha .... so before you make comments like this... get the facts!
so according to your brain DA can stop gangs? tell me where in the world yoh saw a Party stopped dangerous gangs and drugs
@@edwinhuncho8292elsalvodore in south America my friend
These patrol women are so strong beyond words
The Narrator's closing remarks - so powerful. Salute to the Women of Khayelitsha. One day at a time, we will win this.
Luyolo, Bless him and his efforts❤.
The unfortunate part is it would take quite alot to get the township/ community in one peace. The freedom on drug n firearms movement, corruption at the hands of those we should be trusting (Police Services) it will require real deep cleaning.
Growing up we knew gangs as the protector of the community, we knew safety (no extortion) because its people we live with in communities. Now we fear even going to the shop, we keep gates locked 24/7. Its really sad I myself live in Khayelitsha and had suffered in hands of gangs unfortunately.
Great document, thank you
Everyone keep safe out there.

It's sad that it went from apartheid to slums. Nothing changed except for the optics.
slums are from apartheid era because land dispossession by the white boers
the slums were created under apartheid
When Apartheid police violence opressed everyone, random people and crooks now South Africa went to the point where blacks harm blacks.
Well said!👌

I salute those women volunteers, they show the bravery and strength of mama Africa. South Africa government must support them.
Classic documentary 🔥🔥
South Africa 🇿🇦
My country
It’s reminds of when I was growing up during apartheid it was dangerous in our township because of gangs and there were no cops available during apartheid, this is the proper proof that apartheid is not over in some places in South Africa 🇿🇦.
Government must not allow informal settlement people who are coming to townships must have RDP right away.
Really educative and informative
Kayelitsha needs a big help.
The DA refuses to help these areas, yet it's been their mandate for the past 15 years.
These are unsung heroes of the community. May God protect them all
This country needs more young man like this one wow what a great hourner to have a child like may God protect him
God bless those women in the community watch.
I actually have a very beautiful ex-girlfriend that stays there. I tried to get her out of that Hood and bring her to Gauteng, she hated the Johannesburg lifestyle for her own reasons and eventually went back down there. I’m happy she still alive but this kinda docie burns me inside. Tried to get her to Uni but she was happy to work for peanuts there instead of upgrading her life citing a lot of excuses 🚮💔
😢.what i can tell u is it's not easy to leave CP more special when one grew up here like me.i once visited my father at Witbank two weeks felt like 2 months I just couldn't fit in!
@@kholiswamnyazana1292 😅I get you. But that’s always the case for everyone, your first few months/year in a new place will be hard but eventually you get used to it. I think that struggle is better than being exposed to gangsterism, that’s just my view🤷♂️
Make a documentary about NYANGA that's where I'm from and trust me crime and killing is on the high and it was in the top 5 most dangerous places in the world
no camera crew will be safe there. why risk their life for doccie? people who live there must film and post to tiktok and youtube. but your phone will be stolen. feral people.
@maritzaretief367 Langa is more Dangerous than Khayelitsha 🤔 is were SABC Crew once got mugged?
@MantjororoMatsimela-jn5hv exactly. I've been to Khayelitsha and Gugs bt Nyanga is another continent altogether. Oh hell nah. My Uber driver told us after we landed
For me Langa is better than Khayelitsha and Nyanga, They can survive in Langa with no security but not eNyanga
God bless those women who are endangering theirs to bring change in their communities

It's not that place only we have many places across South Africa with same problems. We bribe to get away with any crime.

@@Thembelemanqindi New Zealand We're actually one of the first countries to start boycotting partied and the Boars
Sounds about white.
The party that governs this region has failed the majority of this city but they out here saying cpt is a success....wow wow
@user-fi3ut1pk1t Political parties, like non-profit organization's, seldom report that they've failed in their objectives.
I also hear stories from the city workers that often the people in the area attack or rob the workers working on the drain or electricity infrastructure. So they do not go into those areas - for their own safety.
Only so much a party can do buddy , unfortunately if people don't want to be governed they will destroy anything , the problem comes from people blaming the government instead of taking matters into their own hands.
And also, black people in general are the majority in our country. So the stats will always be skewed when you want to look at things like that. And again, the western cape is doing a pretty good job with services in such high crime areas compared to other poverty stricken areas in Limpopo for example where there are no halls, no libraries, no parks, no public swimming pools, no clinics, no saps, no housing, I could go on. The mere fact that the township is this crowded speaks to the plenty of job opportunities the city creates.
Cpt is a success yes, for the people of the fairer skin. DA doesn't n never cared for black people of the Western Cape!
