It's actually a beautifully structured place; just clean the streets and fix broken pavements, what a difference that alone would make
Hillbrow has a potential to be a great city again. If all the hijacked buildings can be reclaimed, renovated or replaced and the municipality fix the water leaks, streets and plant trees. From your video, I don't see the reason why this area was left to decay like this. Thanks to all the owners, NGOs, and the community who strive to make Hillbrow a better place. Thanks David for the video.
I like that you are very positive about a lot of things happening in hillbrow.
David sounds to me like you should be on the management team 😁
From min. 22.30 ... Leighstate with Saratoga and the diocese, then up Nugget Hill ❤️ the places of my childhood in the 80's . The brigde by the way did not exist back then.
Soooo exciting what you are doing! Positivity and action! I had such amazing visit to Hillbrow recently. It was great to see all the upliftment and restoration! Well done to all involved. May the good work just keep spreading. Well done!
You never cease to amaze me David... 😂😂😂😂
Hillbrow has huge potential though
Old Synagogue Corner Smit. Str. and Claim Str. But abandoned by the local jewish community long ago. There is another one up Claim Str. Corner Paul Nel. That one is still being used.
Thank you to everyone involved in the upliftment of Hillbrow. Major respect for all the work developed! Make sure you show some love and see how can you assist the community of Hillbrow!

I used to own a snooker club in kotze str.opposite highpoint from 1989 TO 1994.Hardly recognise the place now.
I stayed in quite a number of buildings in hillbrow fond memories of my youth and good times.i grew up there for me pretoria street was best street then there were casino,s ,clubs,disco,s ,parades, soccer stars and musician use to stay there cause Hillbrow use to operate 24 hours non stop entertainment
If they can turn Hilbrow around, they can do anything and Joburg will soon be on the absolute path to redemption
I used to live there in the 80s and early 90s . If you need a security team to walk there , then that summarizes the whole place . The only solution for that slum would be to evacuate it , bulldoze it and rebuild . What a shame and disgrace , it used to be such a cool place .
This is awesome 👏🏽 Joburg raised Me, It'll be nice if you can cover hillbrow more, cause all those buildings have stories as why they got hijacked... I love those church infrastructures.
I used to live in Kapteijn Street, Hillbrow in the mid-1980s, just around the corner from where you did most of your filming. Loved it there. Frequently I'd go out for a wander around in the evenings to Kotze and Pretoria Streets, to go to the record shops, bookshops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, etc. Lots of nice places to go. A great atmosphere and clean and well maintained and most importantly safe. Looking at it now in your video and "dropping in" with Google Maps it looks a mess - a very sad shadow of what it once was. Maybe one day it can be turned around into the awesome and fun place that it used to be, and I hope so but it would take an enormous amount of work and determination. Completely agree with what others have said here - it has huge potential
Als ich in Joburg ankam war es erst das Honeydew Motel, wo wir alle die mit der TRANSA hergekommen sind einquartiert wurden.
Und dann für eine paar Monate die Bergerac Apartments.
Aber dann Windsor Park. Und zur Arbeit konnte ich zu Fuß gehen!!!!
30 yrs ago I spent some time in hillbrow it was much more upmarket than this dilapidated state now!!!
Stayed in Hoffman New York 1981 was much cleaner then not all that dirt lying in the streets
Nice job, Mr David. Keep it up! 💖💖🙏🙏
Being someone who spent a lot of time in Hillbrow in the 90's it breaks my heart to see it so run down and neglected by the people who took it over. Such a shame.
I'm in the States. My mother was from South Africa, from Jo'Burg. I remember traveling there several times when I was a kid back in the 70s to visit relatives. It was really a great city back then. It's totally trashed now.
As someone who lives there, it's pretty cool really. It's not as scary as people like to make it seem. It's just like any other neighborhood in JHB, just don't be an idiot and walk alone at night☠

Do not CHANGE NAMES of Buildings.
Nice work Davey
As you guys were walking down Quartz .... For me it's again like walking down memory lane 😍
Hi David I have see the two inside walking Hillbrow with Guard Bad Boys Security , very, very interesting and 🔝the Video - greetings from Germany.
This place needs serious clean
This is your MANDELA
The whole of Joburg there are more than thousand hijacked buildings.
I enjoy your content David!🙌🙌🙌❤
Glad you enjoy it!🏆🏆
Hello David, I will be in SA soon, please tell me about the load shedding situation. How often does it happen and for how long? Love the channel. Thanks
My own experience in Gauteng. When LS happens we can go for one week at least at certain hours (normally 2 hours) and then we have a normal functional grid for months without any issue.
I absolutely love this vlog 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Sorry for Question
Freddy before he started working at Bad Boys - Crime Boss in Hillbrow ?
Make it as good as it was in 1998. xoxo
David is naïve when asking, “ why do people drop a vase on the sidewalk, and not clean it up”? This is a great story and I wish them tons, but this two anglo dudes who by their very evolved backgrounds Know to clean up and make any place look decent and civilized. In the US, blacks would chase them out of the neighborhood as “gentrifies”. When the City of Johannesburg turned down funding for the Art Museum, that was the final mail in the coffin of any future. The woman with the turban can’t speak English so to answer David’s question of how she may be enjoying Hillbrow.
Come at night 😂😂😂
30:51 beautiful building 😊
I stayed in Hillbrow in 1990 during apartheid and I believe it was for whites only.. I stayed at a Proteahoff hotel. Thank you for the tour.
