Great neighbourhood indeed, although Diepkloof used to be a powerhouse in the 80s, 90s and 00s...now the wealth is spread out in Soweto, owning to constant new developments. You would get a clearer picture if you toured Soweto as a whole...
Soweto is indeed beautiful in recent years it has transfoend tremendously and the neighborhood in some areas are not safe but definitely it's a nice township
i’m from malaysia and i’ve visited here in Soweto. South Africa is indeed beautiful place and i hope nothing but for all the things to get better and better
Normally people who turn neighborhoods into slums are outsiders! Locals try by all means to take care and develop their communities!

Doing a great job, showing the other sides if the townships that are not known, you can go to Protea North Protea Glen ext 7, 8, 9 & 10 up to ext 25 where you will see modern houses as well
Diepkloof Ext, Phase 2 has always been a great suburb, we have a house there. Some of the houses there are more beautiful than houses in the famous suburbs.
Kevin Hart once came to SA and said he was shocked at how different it is to the image portrayed in the media. He said it is up to us the citizens to be proud of our country and showcase the good and positive side of our beautiful home. It doesn't serve the "other" people to showcase it for us, they gain more clicks and views by showing the bad side. We must be the custodians and patriots who guard our country's image. It that perception that influences whether people visit (tourism) and invest in our country. C'mon Mzansi I know we can do it, let's rebuild this country.
Fuck them. We dont need them. Let them show the world bad images. It will prevent that western world stench from coming here. We dont need to be wasting our time telling the americans and Europeans what we have here. We need to fix south africa for us not the whole world. Because america and europe are terrible places thatbpretend they are good. Let people be fooled into thinking those places are nice while we chill here peacefully
Actually, whites with their financial and media muscles will always portray SA bad, since our success as Africans proves that white supremacy and racism is a false political ideology
I am from KZN too but I really appreciate the beauty that is Soweto and it's ppl been there several times and I can tell you it is a beautiful melting pot of cultures. I hope grow and develop further into a Sandton or Even better.

There's plenty of them throughout SA, they were designed for the black middle class who were NOT allowed to own property in designated white areas .Every city/ town has .
Thats how apartheid days enabled us to prosper as black South Africans. This township was built from 1982/3. After this and Protea North and Dhlamini ext, Dobsonville ext CAME THE ANC and their Slums.
Ive been saying that for years. In in PE and live in a neighborhood similar to this. It was built in the 80s. After 94, shacks and rdps are the only thing built by that nonsense political party
@@subzeromidnight5388ANC is responsible for a lot of deterioration in this country but they do not build shacks. It's mostly people that come from other rural parts of EC that build shacks in PE. The houses built by apartheid government in PE are nonsense, they are not stand alone in New Brighton and people shared a tap. In KwaZakhele they are stand alone house. The neighborhoods have small streets and are condensed. This glorification of apartheid is stupid.
@@mpumzi new brighton has two sides. The 1st areas built are the ones u are talking about. A middle class area called ford was built afterwards with much bigger homes. Kwazakhele is a lower class area. Zwide also has two sides, small houses with small streets and a middle class area with bigger homes and yards. Then theres kwamagxaki and kwadwesi for the middle class. Theres also nu5 up to nu7 in motherwell, also bigger houses. My point is that ANC has never built any of those homes for the blacks. They allowed land invasions and they give those people rdp homes after. No proper developments whatsoever. And blacks were prospering during apartheid, u were just not allowed to mix with whites. Schools and hospitals were constantly being built as more black people came from rural areas into cities. Now schools are being abandoned and department of education money is being chowed by government officials. Rdp and grant are no way to grow a society. Jusy breeding a lazy society that constantly depends on government.
When I wanted to buy property it gave me a Shocker, Phase 1 is great, Phase 2 is better, Phase 3 is the worst close to the Hostel. A no no, I am staying in Joburg southern suburbs ❤🎉
Great neighborhood. I wonder how they keep the security there... I do not see wires and other ugly protection tools typical for Joburg houses. Do they have CID or other form of organizing street security?
If you break into someone's home in the townships, let's just say you're asking for trouble. People in the townships mostly look out for one another, they'll deal with said party in most cases if SAPS won't come to their aid. Not that I support vigilantism, however I know that that's how it operates in a lot of the areas. Some have your ADT, Chubb or patrollers, but the neighbourhoods are close-knit.
The sense of community and ubuntu that you typically find in townships suffices as a form mutual of protection, even though there is some level of crime that from time to time. This sense of community is rare to find in a typical South African traditional suburb. And this lack of unity amongst households in the suburbs results with vulnerabilty to crime, which translates to high or ugly security measures as you have said.

Don't generalize. A lot of areas in Soweto are clean. Communities are taking care of their areas. Not all locations have squatter camps. You now cannot claim that it is filthy based on the squatter camps that are in Soweto.

He is based in Joburg. I doubt the channel is big enough to finance trips to places outside Joburg unless it comes out of his pocket or there could some kind of crowd funding from the viewers that can finance those kind of trips.
Thank you for another wonderful video and tour. Just wondering, it looks warm during the day, but during the night, does it get really cold? I notice a lot of chimneys, so that means they have a lot of fireplaces.
The chimneys in South Africa are in the main built in barbecue (braai's - as we call it). Not a lot of homes have chimneys for heating the homes. Homes with chimneys for heating were generally built long ago (old homes). As it pertains to the weather, we have hot summers and winters can at times be cold but not as cold as some parts of the world such as Europe, Canada, etc.
Yeah.... Time changes everything. People are now working well making most of the best they have. Surely this much older locations will be exposed to seem less and less as development spread around. But is till the best neighborhood I once leaved in my youth ....

@@Joy25-ce6vz and @louiseanne5075, this is a more researched response available online: Your comment about the apartheid government not planting trees is likely referring to the historical legacy of apartheid in South Africa, which has had lasting effects on the distribution of green spaces and trees in urban areas. During the apartheid era, public parks and street trees were mainly developed for beautification purposes in the historically affluent northern white suburbs of cities like Johannesburg. This has resulted in an unequal distribution of tree canopy cover between different parts of the city. A study found that virtually all (96%) South African cities remain under a form of “green apartheid” - an uneven distribution of city trees, greenery, and parks across racial and income geographies. White citizens tend to live in areas with many more trees, greener vegetation, and easier access to public parks than areas with predominantly black African, Indian, and coloured residents. Efforts have been made to address this issue. For example, groups like Greenpop have started initiatives to plant trees in marginalized communities. However, fully uprooting green apartheid in South Africa will take time. It’s important to note that the distribution of green spaces is just one aspect of the broader socio-economic inequalities that persist in South Africa post-apartheid. These inequalities are complex and multifaceted, involving issues of land ownership, wealth distribution, and access to resources. I hope you both find this information helpful. @LivinginSAtv will blow your mind🤯

chitungwisa is a Soweto of your country not the other way around.Soweto has always been like this we didnt copy from anyone else .Put some respect on Soweto please.The black middle class is doing amazing here and they are educated
@@consulargeneral8136 WHY are you running away from home if you have chitungwisa. Your people make places in Diepsloot to be slums where ever you are it collapse. Mandela led us down.

Wow I will visit SA soon I will definitely coming to Soweto although I heard about xenophobia hope it’s not an issue anymore
No don't come we're overcrowded
@@TshepoNakeng_ you’ve just proven my xenophobia point your dumb shit I’m not stepping foot in a ghetto
200000 in Diepkloof??isn't that overpopulated???why is there no litter??? But far too much litter and filth 7n the city other suburbs
Many factors lead to that even illegal immigration most townships are spared from it coz they are viewed as shanty towns that are dangerous nobody wanna live in the surburbs n cities it's easy for people to hijack abandoned houses n buildings
south Africans love there...
Where in Soweto?
Near Johannesburg in South Africa nearby township is where Mandela lived
@@thembimaseko9600 It's weird cause I live in Soweto. I really should travel more. 😆

you daft
Why are there so few trees,
The apartheid government didn't plant them😢
@@Joy25-ce6vz and @louiseanne5075, this is a more researched response available online: Your comment about the apartheid government not planting trees is likely referring to the historical legacy of apartheid in South Africa, which has had lasting effects on the distribution of green spaces and trees in urban areas.
During the apartheid era, public parks and street trees were mainly developed for beautification purposes in the historically affluent northern white suburbs of cities like Johannesburg. This has resulted in an unequal distribution of tree canopy cover between different parts of the city.
A study found that virtually all (96%) South African cities remain under a form of “green apartheid” - an uneven distribution of city trees, greenery, and parks across racial and income geographies. White citizens tend to live in areas with many more trees, greener vegetation, and easier access to public parks than areas with predominantly black African, Indian, and coloured residents.
Efforts have been made to address this issue. For example, groups like Greenpop have started initiatives to plant trees in marginalized communities. However, fully uprooting green apartheid in South Africa will take time.
It’s important to note that the distribution of green spaces is just one aspect of the broader socio-economic inequalities that persist in South Africa post-apartheid. These inequalities are complex and multifaceted, involving issues of land ownership, wealth distribution, and access to resources. I hope you both find this information helpful. @LivinginSAtv will blow your mind🤯
Great point...
people need to be encouraged to do so🙌🔥
