I love Johannesburg but I totally agree when it comes to the unemployment and huge gap between the rich and poor. South Africa has a ton of natural resources, there need to be more jobs created and the government needs to continue the hard work to lift up all citizens.
Drugs and alcohol drives the gap, if you have served the homeless and the youth you would know. Corruption keeps the poor and addicted down. It is the reason why after 30years of BEE the gap remains regardless of ethnicity - drugs and alcohol drives the crime more than anything else and overwhelms the police
there are countless jobs to be done here in Joburg but aren't available because of greed and corruption. Every filthy street, crumbling bridge, polluted river, dilapidated substation and pothole is a job waiting to be done, that should be done. We don't have an unemployment problem we have a mismanagement and greed problem.
“There needs to be more jobs created” and “the gap between rich and poor”… No it’s black democratic liberation idiocy and waiting for government to give jobs that’s the problem! When you speak about jobs for Africans then you speaking in economic migration and not economic opportunities! The problem is blacks should be fixing their ancestral land in Central and Northwest Africa and stop begging and flooding everyone’s borders for jobs. 300 million blacks in SADC all waiting on 4 million whites taxes and the black man just wants a job and free everything else with no tax contribution and communist government managing it all in a land that’s not there’s! That’s the actual reality and why racism will never die

The objective of the video is clear. However, the portrayal of Soweto is higly limited and is ignorant of the infrastructural and economic development of the township. Within the township itself, there's a high level of social differentiation and this reflects the inequality in Johannesburg and South Africa as a whole.
As far as criminality is concerned in Joburg and also the rest of the country, you can expect this because a criminal friendly regime cultivate criminal haven.
That was his share, so I assume the whole nug fetched more. So much work/risk/toll on health for a couple grams of gold. Hopefully these guys get work installing solar panels soon!
mandela was imprisoned for bombing a train station and wounding and killing civilians. But that part somehow always seems to get left out now doesn't it...
Mandela gave the orders to the church street bomb which killed innocent people of all races. He was also a communist. The legacy media hates mentioning this involvement fact of their ‘saint’ to control the narrative. They successfully duped the world to put them in pose by hang the same corrupt media in the 80s, long before there was Twitter. If people had Twitter they could defend themselves against the lies and propaganda. However the globalists had a plan to put Mandela in power, to use to attack the west on many fronts.
Eskom was always a state owned corporation. It certainly was in 1980 to 1988 when I worked there. The difference in 1998 was the change to ANC cadre management.
Shocking that people with fashion design and criminology degrees are struggling to find work /s that’s basically the labour market in any developed country these days
I think it’s a deeper struggle than that, the mental and emotional despair at being highly educated and living in an incredibly stunted, stratified society. In a way, the economic data also reveal this story within the high income inequality figures.
@@TheDailyConversation You know what, that’s totally fair. I just thought it was an interesting example since everyone I know with those degrees is also not employed in their field of study here in the US.
I am a South African and I am very pleasantly surprised at how accurate your documentary is! The only suggested amendment that I could offer is your coverage of Soweto. Your footage shows informal housing that is more representative of other townships, not that much of Soweto. Soweto has become (mostly) similar to suburbia. Low income homes, medium income homes, and high income mansions! Admittedly… with some informal settlements in between, but it is not the norm. Look at other townships for that terrible housing crisis… Alexandra… Diepsloot and so many more…
The tragedy of Africa - a continent with resources in abundance, with millions of ppl marginalised + leaders seemingly unable to take their countries into prosperity.
Africans are destroying the continent more than the white man ever did. Zimbabwe is the biggest example. There were farms, schools, trains running and look at Zimbabwe now. There’s not even an economy
Wow this thumbnail actually makes Joburg look like a nice city... In reality it's bleak and monotone. You have to go to cities like Sandton to see a nice city.
@fistazmixwell depends where you live man. Nowadays if you live middle-upper class you have power. If you poor living in the rural areas or the townships you now get full on blackout.
The solution will always be in the free energy market... for this the government needs to carry out privatizations and open this country to free enterprise... there is no free lunch
Thoose in the begining are foreigners from neigbouring countries called zamazamas, we are being overun by foreigners who are mostly criminals from other failed african regimes. anc has destroyed sa, criminality is rampant and nothing happens to criminals here. you can literally pay for cases to go away.

3:39 this is most Gen Z unfortunately, highly educated kids from the villages and townships, left to try other fields to make a living, art has become a saving grace for most coz the diplomas and degrees simply wont guarantee you a job
@@RextheRebelLol just give me a good amount of developing countries that used state owned enterprises to develop their countries. A good list, not outliers..
@ Post war europe was never at the level of African poverty, there were and are proper institutions to prevent a destruction of the country from enterprises like this. Singapore is an outlier, and they have a one party government that is actively trying to improve the country.
I was at an EPWP event in Bloemfontein, hosted by the Premier and Public Works MEC. The deputy minister & some other bigwigs were also there (all ANC cdes). No leading or influential members from the construction industry were present despite construction being at the center of the event. It was basically an ANC rally. Anyway, 3 lessons I learned there is that the ANC will use you & then throw you away like a condom. They will not work with or support any private business, big or small, in any way unless of course a cadre is involved somehow. Lastly, they have absolutely 0 visions or strategies on how to effectively grow this country's economy. The decay of Mandela's house, the ANC lady on that plane, The deputy president watching as his guards beating up innocent drivers and leaving them by the side of the highway. All these events and more showcase just how vile and despicable the people "lead" this country have become.
As a Zimbabwean living in South Africa I can verify that unfortunately those are my country men and likely they are not in the country legally let alone mining that gold legally.... Accent is too obvious I'm afraid
This is a video about South Africa, not Johannesburg. Additionally you should've spoken about the GNU after the election, the ANC isn't just in power exactly like it was before
The inconvenient truth and irony… South Africa today is a bigger mess than during Apartheid. It would seem Apartheid was a solution and economic success story to an African problem. Mismanagement, corruption and low standards.
@ Energy inequality in south africa during the apartheid era Only about one-third of the population had electricity, with most of the 5 million white people having access, while the majority of the 30 million black people did not

There is a formula to eradicate poverty in Africa & to make the continent excel. - Lean government - Privatisation & economic liberalisation - Judicious public spending on water, sewerage, drainage, roads and refuse collection. - Basic welfare grants for education, health, food, shelter, clothing, transport and communication. That will create poverty eradicating mass employment at all skill levels & private sector ltd growth. Couple this with governance reforms - Recall democracy - Separation of powers - Central bank independence - Single African market If we did that Africa would become an economic superpower to rival the United States, EU and China.
By painting our country in such a bad light you are worsening our situation, condemning us to be overlooked by tourists and investors, the truth is things are actually improving faster now that we have a new government. It's time to invest in South Africa because things are going up from here 👌
If you were an investor yourself, would you put your money in a broken system that will swallow it up? We need to fix what's dysfunctional in our country, that will attract investors-knowing their hard earned money will yield returns instead of evaporating into thin air.
@langamaphumulo5009 I actually am an investor and if you actually know anything about the markets the JSE is actually up and the continued interest rate cuts are improving the situation. Right now is the buy low moment for South Africa.

This is a pretty inaccurate story and paints a one sided picture of the actual situation in south africa especially where anc is involved, bad and biased journalism.
@@69memnon69 "Eskom used to be reliable until the ANC turned it into a state owned corporation". Eskom has always been state owned. Also is it at all accurate to say it was always reliable if electricity was only provided to about 30% of the country during apartheid times? There used to be occasional blackouts during this period as well but it was mainly in townships which were considered to be unimportant so the myth is there was not issues with electricity supply before ANC came into power just so all the blame can be placed on ANC. When the ANC came in to power they gradually started ramping up production to over 70% of the country, this will obviously come with challenges. None of this is covered in this video, it only paints a picture of a party that is only corrupt and produced nothing positive. Previous CEOs have reported and attempted to deal with some of the issues regarding Eskom but this video shows the only white CEO as being the one person who tried to fix the issues at Eskom as if to imply every other CEO was out to commit corruption. Does this sound pretty accurate? Sounds pretty one sided to me, there are other issues as well.
I’m a South African. I think these people must be allowed to mine the old mines if they want to. Just regulate it. Why stop them? People need to earn and if they want to use closed mines to earn I can’t see the point in stopping them. Can you??
Yes, there is a point. 1) The mines belong to SOUTH AFRICANS. 2) 90% of the miners are illegal immigrants from other African Countries. This is called STEALING! 3) The mines are dangerous and unsafe to mine. It’s against the Law to go in them. Want any more reasons? I have plenty more you dummy!
You've got everything in this documentary right except your perception of de ruyter, he was as much responsible for the collapse of Eskom as anyone else. We've had over 300 days without losdshedding thanks to CEO's appointed after him. He's probably the most useless Eskom Ceo we've ever had
Read his book. The old brass at Eskom were constantly trying to sabotage him. He has even been poisoned at work to keep him quiet and has now even fled the country.
A couple of points. First, not everyone in the ANC is corrupt. Second, much of the opposition would be just as corrupt as the ANC were they to win power- maybe even worse.
If you accept corruption you are as bad. Only in Africa can we have 12 ANC members with pending corruption cases sitting in parliament. The only ones more corrupt than the ANC would be the EFF or MK.
Yes, everybody in the ANC is corrupt from the President down.. The DA would restore South Africa but it will take 20 years. Any other party would be as bad if not worse than the ANC. This is the Truth..

would have loved if you rephrased the "thing of the past" to "thing of the past for now"
We still get it
It’s not for long bro
This aged well
There is a formula to eradicate poverty in Africa & to make the continent excel.
- Lean government
- Privatisation & economic liberalisation
- Judicious public spending on water, sewerage, drainage, roads and refuse collection.
- Basic welfare grants for education, health, food, shelter, clothing, transport and communication.
That will create poverty eradicating mass employment at all skill levels & private sector ltd growth.
Couple this with governance reforms
- Recall democracy
- Separation of powers
- Central bank independence
- Single African market
If we did that Africa would become an economic superpower to rival the United States, EU and China.
Johannesburg does not have or need hundreds of thousands of air conditioners.
Yes we do have hundreds of 1000’s and yes we do need them. Do live in a shack??

8:34 FACT CHECK: Eskom has always been state-owned @TDC
Good vid, but the narration is too quiet in relation to the unnecessary background music.
Come to Zambia 🇿🇲 😢
By painting our country in such a bad light you are worsening our situation, condemning us to be overlooked by tourists and investors, the truth is things are actually improving faster now that we have a new government. It's time to invest in South Africa because things are going up from here 👌
If you were an investor yourself, would you put your money in a broken system that will swallow it up? We need to fix what's dysfunctional in our country, that will attract investors-knowing their hard earned money will yield returns instead of evaporating into thin air.
@langamaphumulo5009 I actually am an investor and if you actually know anything about the markets the JSE is actually up and the continued interest rate cuts are improving the situation. Right now is the buy low moment for South Africa.
@@ericgardiner7715 have fun going broke then, you fool.
Yeah na DOW is doing fair bit better than JSE ... but no worries ... 50% of pension is off shore ... and I seem to do ok for work IT work .... there's 1000s of IT jobs
And ... load shedding has finished , none in over a year now ... load shedding has FINISHED !!!
And weather is awesome and solar is awesome and weed is legal ... 24 hrs weed and pizza and convenience shop right by my house
But yeah ... Africa 🌍
Invest in South Africa? 😂
0:55 The what are exposed to toxic fumes?😂
Why is South Africa spending trillions to make a billion profit?????
Nice
Load shedding doesn’t mean weight shedding obviously…..
How criminals run the country you mean😂

Good idea
South Africa has had it
KJV Ephesians 6:12 🤔👍
This is a pretty inaccurate story and paints a one sided picture of the actual situation in south africa especially where anc is involved, bad and biased journalism.
Sounds pretty accurate to me and is why myself and many others left the country.
@@69memnon69 "Eskom used to be reliable until the ANC turned it into a state owned corporation". Eskom has always been state owned.
Also is it at all accurate to say it was always reliable if electricity was only provided to about 30% of the country during apartheid times? There used to be occasional blackouts during this period as well but it was mainly in townships which were considered to be unimportant so the myth is there was not issues with electricity supply before ANC came into power just so all the blame can be placed on ANC. When the ANC came in to power they gradually started ramping up production to over 70% of the country, this will obviously come with challenges. None of this is covered in this video, it only paints a picture of a party that is only corrupt and produced nothing positive. Previous CEOs have reported and attempted to deal with some of the issues regarding Eskom but this video shows the only white CEO as being the one person who tried to fix the issues at Eskom as if to imply every other CEO was out to commit corruption.
Does this sound pretty accurate? Sounds pretty one sided to me, there are other issues as well.
Wonder why the rich even bother living there still, do you know why?
I’m a South African.
I think these people must be allowed to mine the old mines if they want to.
Just regulate it.
Why stop them?
People need to earn and if they want to use closed mines to earn I can’t see the point in stopping them.
Can you??
Yes, there is a point.
1) The mines belong to SOUTH AFRICANS.
2) 90% of the miners are illegal immigrants from other African Countries. This is called STEALING!
3) The mines are dangerous and unsafe to mine. It’s against the Law to go in them.
Want any more reasons?
I have plenty more you dummy!
Dude,thats less than $10
can you do next video of Madrid?
nice job Mandela!
The same story everywhere in Africa, are we curse, or what?
Just corruption

Descent video, however when you got to Eskom you waffled your way through
Very good documentary
Would love more positive African content
You've got everything in this documentary right except your perception of de ruyter, he was as much responsible for the collapse of Eskom as anyone else. We've had over 300 days without losdshedding thanks to CEO's appointed after him. He's probably the most useless Eskom Ceo we've ever had
Read his book. The old brass at Eskom were constantly trying to sabotage him. He has even been poisoned at work to keep him quiet and has now even fled the country.
A couple of points. First, not everyone in the ANC is corrupt. Second, much of the opposition would be just as corrupt as the ANC were they to win power- maybe even worse.
Heavy on DA too, capitalists who only care about tourist and rich areas
If you accept corruption you are as bad. Only in Africa can we have 12 ANC members with pending corruption cases sitting in parliament. The only ones more corrupt than the ANC would be the EFF or MK.
it depends on the opposition you talk about. the DA deals decisively with corruption and their municipalities consistently get clean audits
@@lm_b5080 Agreed which is why I did not say all the opposition
Yes, everybody in the ANC is corrupt from the President down..
The DA would restore South Africa but it will take 20 years.
Any other party would be as bad if not worse than the ANC. This is the Truth..
Bring Trump to SA

Go watch the real BBC documentary not this rubbish
I think you might find that criminals run most rich cities in the world just maybe not always as brazenly as they do in SA
Apartheid needs to be reimbursed
BEE and Corruption has been a real great solution it appears.
Did I hear him correctly, since 94 the country is run by ANC ?? really 🤔
Commentator please go and do documentaries about your own country I am disgusted

These are Zimbabweans claiming to be South Africans. There is no country without poor and rich people. People in England, France, America, Canada and many more are homeless . SA is not the only country with poor people
