There's something about the vibe in Jozi that compels you to take action, build something, create, dare, network, sell, etc. Something about the energy in the city sparks the cells in your body that just about anything and everything is possible. You won't find it anywhere else in the world.
It's terrible. South Africa is beautiful but violence and crime is slowly eating the country away. Investors are slowly pulling off and things will only get worse from here. Burning things, looting, and anger won't help anyone. Authorities really need to be tough and vet out corrupt officials.
Crime exists because they want it to exist. Crime would stop in 30 days if they would make a system like dubai . In Dubai crime is almost non existent.
Nothing like Jozi in the world! You have to experience it 1st hand to understand. Have to move very diligent, but as long as you don’t let fear consume your heart you will have the time of your life, regardless of your background
Too fast paced, i know its your style but tone it down its almost like we are watching tik tok with loud music Overall love the documentary and your humor
It’s almost disorienting, especially when you’re really interested and trying to learn something new, anyway thank you. You hit the nail right on its head.
Been wondering the same about this channel. All extremely old (often interesting) documentaries but zero info on where they come from or even who made them. If I made a documentary and it wound up on this channel, which pretends to create these films, then I'd be upset
@@evanhaddad1960 you're absolutely right there. Most documentaries on RUclips are posted on private pages , without proper permission from the owners or any form of acknowledgement for the producers. It isn't right at all
It seems this was made 2009 (that's the date on the press banner). Conditions now - in 2024 - are very different. The extremes have gotten even more extreme. Still a real beast of a city. Not for the faint hearted.
Been living in Joburg for 20 years, started primary school here...lived in Hillbrow for about 15 years and now living in the busy Joburg CBD (Marshalltown)...I don't know if I've just adapted to it, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.
The city looks to be in a dilapidated state. There are hijacked and abandoned buildings everywhere. When you moved there 20 years ago, was the city in a better or worse state than now?
I've been to cities in Kenya,Tanzania,Zambia,Zimbabwe,Botswana etc but the only place i felt unsafe is in Jo'burg. I slept with a knife under my pillow,that's how unsafe i felt...i've never done that in other countries...never. One other thing i can say about SA...absolutely beautiful country,the views are spectacular.
I lived downtown Seattle when I was 19 and every night for a while I would spray paint on the side of Macy's-free South Africa and duck and cover. Just like giving the peasants of Russia freedom in 92, the fools didn't want it.
Likewise. It’s rubbish. Typical production from outsiders who lack personal experience. I’ve lived in Joburg, plan to return and retire but till then fly from USA there 4 times a year. Lovely place. Great people. They deserve better than this. Very poor documentary of Jozi and sheer disrespect of normal people who live there. Anyone convinced that they understand Johannesburg from this video should stick to cartoons for understanding life.
Best intro ive seen thus far... SO much cramped up in a few seconds. Its a good start to exemplify the fast paced and stressful life of us Jozi people. BUT the rest of the documentary shouldve been a bit slower paced.
You need big minds. I'm watching this at 2am, and I like it. Give those below the poverty line free education up to right before college (high school in the United States), including lunch. All that diamond money can pay for that, it won't, but it could easily. Also, offer housing, rent to own or whatever to get impoverished people exposed to the concept generational wealth. It's not complicated. How do children of wealthy parents succeed? What is different for them? Keep people down, and stupid, and in severe poverty.. apartheid, and this is what you get. It takes generations to fix what that evil broke. But get some big minds on it. Good documentary.
I enjoyed Egoli whilst I lived there. It's an awesome place. However as a disabled person with disabled child it was too expensive to live there. Africa is for everyone. I have great friends and family in Jozi. Ngiyabonga for a uMulhe doc
Joburg is now ghetto it is too expensive to maintain rust, pot holes, garbage, dead animals and staff my last visit was 2023 and I'm waiting to visit again for the next 10 years to see if it still exist
Why is it people wonfer why Africa stayed centuries behind the rest of the world? Just look at the horror show theyve made of South Afica since taking over after apartheid. Who honestly expected less?

At 8:41 good story about survival, I had to get out of Seattle because PBS made a movie about my friend killing himself, I watch Chitty Chitty bang bang it's me, they taught me how to be gay and then turn me loose in 88, it would of killed me. I left a million of my mother's she even made another million and I didn't get one penny of nothing. But I'll live to 100
These types of documentaries are just nonsense. It doesn't help anyone with anything. Very poor level of research if any conducted on the origins of southern Africa and the organization called South Africa. Nothing mentioned about the causes of the socio-economic imbalance that has resulted in all issues of concern discussed in this terrible so called journalism.
Busy doing what? Carrying water on your head from the community well that the WEST installed back to your mud hut. And did you know you have a fly under your eyeball?

The City of Gold. Dangerous,dangerous place, even south africans are scared to live there.
Every house has high walls and barbed wire for a reason. An alarm is a must. Basically you need a fortress 🤣
Same thing in our African neighborhoods

Talented, very talented…the move stands out and reflects the city vibe .. great and very talented work 👍
Here I am sitting in South Africa wondering what the hell you're going on about.
This was so so well done. Great job!

Term Crime is broad if you think about all the scams ran from Dubai🤣🤣🤣..just saying 🤗

How old is this documentary? Suspecting it's over 20 years

Sounds like SA as a whole tbh.
Over here every intersection has beggars too, the violence is ongoing and the police simply don't give a f/*ck.

Yeah, I would not recommend that you sleep in the street in Joburg. You sure will need a knife under your pillow 🤔
It's a bit like listening to rap music, not a documentary.
Good work guys
This is epic. I love eGoli !
Epic video! Love JHB!
Well put together. Great film. That's as close to Africa as I'm getting. ❤ looks beautiful though
Absolutely impressive
This can't be recent, when was this shot, 2008?

SA has the highest inequality rate in the world speaks a lot about the double economy
The whole world is this way, the side effects of Capitalist greed.
@@mishaguevara not really SA is the most extreme example of it
But i thought SA prides itself as the richest and most developed country in Africa? How can that be?

Sorry but jumping around way too much of this video for me
Rewind to 1970s please boss let us in to your shining city on the hill we promise to behave bruv look at this thumbnail
This is not a documentary it's a rap battle. Quit after three minutes
Man.. Slow down why you speaking too fast...😢😢😢😢😢

This intro is fucking ridiculous 🫨
Old shit footage as usual... sigh😕 @best documentary 😪
Could this have produced any worse? It's like they tried to guarantee no one would ever watch more than 2 minutes of this garbage.
It was made in 2008, this is a typical editing style of the time.
@@ianwolvaardt2352 Wow I guess I missed that and am glad I did!! It's too bad also because this information NEEDS to get out...
