Inside South Africa's Biggest White Slum
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2023
- A few years ago I watched a documentary about a group of roughly 300 poor white South Africans living in a place called Coronation Park in Krugersdorp which is located just outside of Johannesburg.
I have seen white South Africans living on the streets before but I have never seen a whole informal settlement of poor white South Africans. I wanted to see this place for myself So I made the journey to Coronation Park in Krugersdorp and when I got there. There was no one there. So I asked some of the locals where they had gone and I was told that they had been moved from coronation park to a small section of a predominantly black township called Pango Camp, Munsieville.
Join us as we uncover the story behind this unique community.

Thanks for watching :)
Where are they from? Their ancestors? Dutch, German, English, Irish?
Very interesting as a fellow south African very aware of this tragic situation cause the world doesn't realize how white people ALSO suffer - u need to investigate such an interesting concept that gas taken off recently. It's xalled Street Shower " it's a mobile bathroom for the homeless and poor. It's amazing

I'm from Colombia and I will show this video to my fellow citizens here. They think that outside my country everyone lives in luxury and abundance. Respect to this people for being part of this interview..
The illegal immigrants coming to the United States seems to think we’re all wealthy. In fact, many people live just like this
Venezuela is next door to your country, and you think that your fellow citizens believe they are living in luxury? They have to qué up to buy paper to wipe their own ass. Obviously to much crack going around Colombia.
My mom was born in Colombia in the slums of Medellin in barrio de Laureles. dirt poor and now shes on vacation in mexico with my father! People can make it out it just depends on how much you want it. Trust me there are WORSE areas in the USA than this. Just search San Francisco homelessness and Denver Colorado its a SHIT SHOW !
@@iimsoxo Bro, I spent some time in St Louis, Missouri...Nice and beautiful city but there were some neighborhoods that gave me the chills..
@@iimsoxo Gold digger 😂😂😂
as a black south african, this is very eye-opening
Really? Come to Europe.. we have plenty of this. In Ireland where I’m from, we have gypsies that all live on the road and travel from town to town..
@@LeMerch yes hey. I'm used to seeing black people living like this here but this really opened my mind and made me realise that poverty knows no race and that it can affect anyone.
Will definitely visit some time.
@@thandolwethusithole4706 yeah bro, I grew up in a similar situation to them but in Ireland and we had nothing in the 60s 70s and 80s.. maybe not as bad as those guys who seem to be on drugs but still a lot of us didn't even have electricity nevermind television haha.. poverty does not CARE about your race.. it can come and it will suck you in. Black, White or Blue. My best friend growing up was black actually, I never even thought about race until I was in my 20s or early 30s and it started to become a 'thing'. Nobody at that level of poverty has time to care about your skin colour. Thats for the higher ups who are the real racists in my mind.
To the White man, the Black man's racism and racial obsession in this country are VERY APPARENT. A racial obsession ALWAYS FAILS - it failed pre-1994 and will fail post-1994.
@@LeMerch Blacks can't be racist. They never systematically made whites poor. Certain whites have always been bums despite all the help that was given to them
Wow, I knew this guy from school. It's absolutely heartbreaking to see where people end up sometimes from having so much and the dream life and then losing everything. It really makes you appreciate what you do have. 😢
He was wealthy? What happened?
I’m a white South African from a middle class family, born in 1987. My grandfather was a builder in Durban (RIP Pops) who obvs interacted with black labourers, he learnt fluent Zulu, and so did my dad growing up. It was awesome to see them interact at a meaningful level and the banter was epic. Most conversations were catching people out and ended in hysterical laughter.
Videos like this remind me of that. It also reiterates how our SA politicians from apartheid until now have never done anything different. It’s more a class war than a race war. They dangle carrots getting people to feel like we hate each other for our race when we don’t.
Well done on this interview - it was tactful and demonstrated how caring and important your community is.
its all anc fucking things up now
did you ever think those black laborer's wanted to live middle class, but the apartheid government prevented that.
@@jason4275 not sure what the point of your comment is?
yeah yeah sugar coat all you want it aint about race is about BEHAIVOR AND ACTION OR THAT RACE
@@nicminit What he should have said was that the same Apartheid system did deprive the black population and the same system also have put the poor white population into the same quagmire, so i agree that it is between the have and have-nots, but during apartheid the people that benefited the most, are Stellenbosch mafia's and their private Chef's. Lets suffer together with 90% of our population.
this made me realise how grateful i should be for where i am in life and what i have.
Yes so true I'm so lucky to have home ,work and money it's an eye opener watching this documentary
I live and work as an electronics engineer,I own my house right away in San Diego, California, even we have a lot of social and racial problems but it's not as bad as Africa.
Charles huang does it make you feel better to think the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles are superior.
@@amfineanyou7232 research the homeless crisis, it's caused by drug addiction which itself is fueled by trauma and mental illness. the homeless crisis in America was fabricated when we closed down the insane asylums and let all the crazies out on to the streets
combine this with an open door justice system and you have a homeless crisis
@@amfineanyou7232sounds like you are projecting your reductive reasoning onto others.
The world is more complicated that you can contemplate
Love how respectful you are in your approach, asking for permission to film and speaking in a manner that isn't belittling. Great work.
Why not be respectful? Why be belittling? Are these people any different from any other in the scheme of the universe? We are all one. We just do not know or accept it. Blessing to everyone.
Showing respect is the way to go to restore dignity when people are suffering!👍🏾it’s a shame the same respect was not given to the tens of thousands of black landowners and their families, who lost everything when greedy, white wicked thieves stole from them and forced them into townships and slums😞May god help us all🙏🏾
@@euniceobi6477 you have it all wrong boy.
@@elbiedorman1266 How do I have it ‘all wrong?’ I’m not a boy, I’m a 60 year old woman!
@@euniceobi6477 Amazing that 4 percentage of a population could take over a country over where infrastructure and education was nonexistent. What you are writing about is that 1 percentage of educated settlers (teachers) had to educate the the rest of the population who did not even seen one school class in their entire existence? You should put two and two together but you found none.
"Our fathers before us did this to South Africa"
Appreciate the man's honesty, ngl
You do know he’s basically calling you all murders that need to stop bitching over the past and taking it out on them when they had nothing to do with the shit show your countries in.
deKlerk gave the country away, a misguided fool.
I find it ridiculous cause he's acting like he's got a reason to suffer 😅
Around 6:01 there’s a mistake in the subtitles, that oom isn’t saying “I’m not resisting”, he said “I’m not racist”. In Afrikaans it has one more syllable, rassisties, which is why it came out a bit strange
Watching from France. This is journalism. Didn’t expect to see this tonight. Earth can be a strange place, and what a determination to live, such a lesson. Things are not to be taken for granted. Thanks to the team.
You didn’t know there was poverty in S.A, or just that there were a handful of impoverished whites?
So this is journalism because it's documenting the handful of poor white people? "Earth can be a strange place" ???
Such a different doc compared to when foreigners come and interview them. Great job man. Very balanced and sincere.
I discovered your podcast just recently !!! I can say it is very educational especially about the reality of South Africa.
Through your channel, I see South Africa in a different eyes, the ignorance is removed from me.
What an excellent respectful interview, the tall lady was very open to share, which is wonderful. Everybody just has a right to be happy be peaceful
BLACK AND WHITE TOGETHER ALL HUMANS AND WORTHY OF LIFE
Wytes in south africa never planned to live in peace with africans they hated africans and had appartied drove off natives of their lands
Good luck with that.
We all know about that. You'd do a complete 180° on your words when you have power. Never forgive never forget
Hate breeds hate. It seems that you don't want to forget because you want to celebrate.
Nah jeff its not the way
7:10 I can never blame young white South Africans for what happened years ago ever. I have a 3 year old that I am teaching well and can never blame other people. I hope u know not all black people blame. I have respect for everyone black white, coloured Indian. Poor or rich . Life can change any minute, never look down on anyone ever
Blame te politicians for stealing all the taxes
So what do you say to those who want them to go to Europe
AMEN.!!!
People need to stop the race thing, we are all human beings and the one race is the human race. You get good and bad people of all cultures. Judge a person by his heart and actions
@@sueelliott4793 yea now that Apartheid is over we are all HUMANS . there are a lot of white people that are racist .
This is heartbreaking but I'm relieved to see how they take care of their animals. As it seems to be a constant in humanity, those with the least give the most.
Right! I thought the same thing. God bless their hearts. The fury creatures appear healthy!
If they got sick they wouldnt get treatment and none of them are sterilised.
Great video , thank you for making and posting this :) strong people, strong community, much love.
Josh, these documentaries are world-class. Keep up the amazing content! Thank you for helping us see the world through different lenses
Thank you so so much!!
@@wideawakepodcast Why is this a big deal? There are poor whyt people all over the world. There are entire States in America like Appalachia that are dirt poor. The homeless encampments in America are mostly filled with poor whyt people. The subtext of this piece is like you are saying impoverishment is not a natural state for🤚🏻🤚🏻🤚🏻 MOST of Europe's history was a majority poor population. That was the reason they left and came to North America, South America, Oceans, New Zealand etc. This is NOT news, it's low key whyt nationalist propaganda 🙄
@lf1496 merica is the richest country in history, that's the difference..safrica is just another 3rd world country, yet the US has taxes on par with Denmark, yet all u get is a bloated nazi military, subsidized rich people, and crap roads. The US gets compared to thrid world countries instead of other rich countries, mericans are the most propagandized and ripped off people in the wolrd. The poverty is unhinged, materially wealthy, people never as humble and materially poor as safricans
@@lf1496 Correct and something isn't right about these folks , poor but do they have to be so dirty??
@@lf1496
Ironic, that you made this spite-filled comment and than proceeded to accuse someone else of being racist.
Many people have wanted this issue covered for years. Glad people are finally talking about it.
What issue? White people aren't allowed to be poor?
What issue to be covered?
they are litteraly only videos abt them
There are no videos about black people that are poor because that is a norm right ?
This isn’t a issue. This is a gift. We need more of this
It’s touching that he still goes out of his way to show compassion and care for the dogs. Really interesting and raw doc.
thankyou what an amazing story you shared with us, typing with tears in my eyes... so lovely ♥
It's a sad state of affairs. Poverty is a real problem in South Africa. Black or White. It knows no colour. Thank you for showing us the truth. Very eye opening
Makes me so angry how the government has failed everyone, except for a select few.
It did know a color before so good equalization
@@killerbye1985 Well before it did the same onlt the select few were racially classified that way. And they were foreign invaders so now at least they get to live the life they deemed right for the native population. Talk about cosmic karma.😊
Not the government, government dont create proveity people should farm their own land stop waiting for government assistance
@@sakurakou2009 you know not of which you speak of..
This is an excellent documentary. Josh, your interviewing style and way with people is outstanding.
Living in a slum is something one would assume is quite negative which would make a video with this title a hard watch, but the beautiful, resilient spirit of the folks living here that you interviewed, their stories, their sense of community and the way they view the world is something I won’t soon forget.
Well done to both you and Cody the cameraman.
This has really shocked me to see this happening to people
@@christinehicks9265This has been happening to people for generations. This is just the first time you see it happen to white people.
Well done for a very informative documentary.
@@marionfriedenthal7352 Thank You!
Yes it looks like a black camp which we are unfortunately familiar with seeing on a screen depicting South Africa.
Dit leer my....wees dankbaar vir die bietjie wat ek het.
🙏🕯️❤️
My heart breaks for the people. The country. How far we’ve fallen.
Это карма
As low as Haiti or Pakistan.
But you fail to understand how much have been stolen from the native.
@@ociiu And how long the native had been oppressed.
Mines don't. They should of never moved their white asses in Africa to begin with.
The camera angles and editing skills are insane!!! Thank you for continuing to open our eyes to what's going on in our country.
Really well executed Josh, you are such a kind hearted and respectful human 🤗
Thankyou for highlighting this finally, my brother lives in SA and has told me about this often,
Hey guys this was so well done. Really interesting and a beautiful community and people. Great work.
Great documentary. I really appreciated the honesty of the guy with the dog when he spoke about his views during apartheid. Great work Josh and team 😊
Excellent work as usual though.. Always improving your production and trying to make the country better through the stories of our people.. Thank you
I don't know you, but I have love in my heart for you for this comment brother.
This is an excellent report. Amazing journalism. I wish I had the guts to do something like this, so I applaud you! Well done!
Agree 💯!
This documentary was so touching. You really weren’t judgemental at all and you gave us the insight we needed on what’s going on in the Cape Flats.
This is such a heartfelt documentary.We all are equal and all of us deserve a better and more good life,the only thing that can unite us is one love.
Thank you but no one publish black slums
@@hasanewilliam3695 even though there are lots around the world, look at the streets or the US for example filled with black people. We should all work to elevate each other regardless of colour no matter where we are in the world. No one deserves to live like this 🥺
Absolutely agree my friend love will always conquer ❤
@@TheCeciD there are yt homeless on the streets of the US too. They're mainly drug addicts, but also just those down on their luck. Maybe someone should donate some bootstraps -- yup, that's all they need.
That's because all slums are black
Thanks for doing this video man, A lot of people really, don’t understand the situation over there
Fantastic documentary! I’d love to compose the music to your next one!!!
Thank you for the respectful way you conducted these interviews.
Hierdie is die eerste video wat ek van jou gekyk het, en as dit enige aanduiding is van hoe jou ander materiaal is, dink ek gaan ek jou werk baie geniet.
Sterkte met jou taak vorentoe.
Hey Josh, James here. I check in with you every week, and love to see you growing in stature, empathy and maturity.
Yes, sure, the children had it coming to them, right?
Great video and work my man. It’s stirring a range of emotions in me. Not sure how i actually feel having been born and raised in South Africa.
This was so well done, thank you
Fantastic documentary - brilliant work!
I feel emotional, strangely conflicted yet angry at the sheer injustice of super wealthy versus abject poverty. I see more authenticity in the poverty, more Ubuntu, yet that doesn't make poverty right either. This was a brave production and I feel unconditional love in contrast to my anger. Yours somewhat confused!
Josh, really awesome video you did here. Between these and your podcasts you are doing some great work! I will be signing up for Patreon shortly.
Hey, I worked really hard on this project so I’m glad you enjoyed it!! 🙌🏻 I really appreciate the support
I really like your channel: your Tokkie interview made me sub. Incredible content, much appreciated. TYVM
There was a documentary about 15 years ago about the white slum in coronation park. I swear i even recognize one of them from that documentary!
When I moved from Cameroon to Cape Town in 2018, that was the first time I came face to face with gnawing poverty. It was the first time I saw this many homeless people. I lived in District Six and there were often a lot of people of all races asking me for change to buy bread and it just broke my heart imagining them going hungry or sleeping out in the cold at the Grand Parade. When I moved to Johannesburg, it was the same, only more chaotic. However, there are lots of opportunities for South Africans who want to study as there are scholarships, grants etc which most countries in Africa don't have. I think that SA just needs good leadership to be the beacon that it would be, in spite of its painful past
It's rather hard when discrimination against whites is official.
You still think so?
@@danakaleb4882 well the leadership part,yes.
@@ngalahansel6066 I think it’s past leadership now. They have no leaders, just self serving hyenas. Pity!
If all it needs is good leadership, the SA is doomed.
Many black South Africans have lived like this. This is a norm. Living in shacks with no electricity, using paraffin to cook and warm up water. I see this no different to how majority of blsck people live. Doesn’t make it right though.
How do you know how the majority of blacks live?? I'm happy to see how the minority of whites are living over there. Had no business being over there in the first place.
Exactly then people are shocked cos it’s white people yet there’s thousands of black people who life like this
I guess the point was the color does not matter. I have understood that there is huge amount of rasism both ways in south africa. I think hardest place is for those white poor people becouse also poor black people hate them
17:50 wow shows how you can make assumption or have a perception , a bit late to the party and channel but WOW WOW WOW.. I just discovered this channel and man im so motivated to make a difference. start in 1 community and go from their thanks Josh for have the strength and courage to show the rest of us South Africans how to be more grateful for what we have, and to open up our hearts even more to those that need our help
Im a white South African, honestly Id rather live in the black township than this township. Everyone seems addicted to something. The one women said she couldnt work for R100 a day, but many black people do. Anything is better than nothing.
Great production quality bro, hope your channel grows 50-fold, you deserve it.
Thank you for sharing this story in such a dignified manor, love your work.
Watching this makes me so grateful. We were well off family that ended up losing everything. It can happen. During high school so many times we were evicted and people have no understanding or grace but there were always some angels Willing to help us. If it wasn't for that we also could of ended up living here. Today I am so grateful for what I have and a person appreciates everything in life better after enduring hardships.
I was on both sides of that, and it's not that land lords have no grace, often it's their means of survival and they can't afford to give it away 4 free
Great documentary guys.. well done! 🏆👍
The history and daily life now of South Africa is so interesting and heartbreaking at the same time. Your documentary is very respectful and I would love to see more of them.
Not "now"😂because it had always been like this for other race
@@comrade9374 well...I mean... I don't think life now looks exactly the same as a 100 years ago...
Plus, if I would've written it like you interpret it... even then you would be wrong.
@@tiamaria5862 the term "now" has derail you're statement
@@comrade9374 no, the daily life now is different from the daily life back in history. Read it again.
@@tiamaria5862 yes😌different for whites but blacks still experienced it even after and before 1994
Awesome people!
Good documentary work.
This was insughtful. Thank you!❤
Keep up the good work, Josh. Always interesting content.
It's because they were Yakuza
On the under hand our government is speaking for one Africa but failed to look after his own children.
i grew up in munsieville this an extremely amazing community i dont know why people say there is racism there, this is the most united place in south africa, poverty united us
The moment when you speak you say black man, white man there is a problem rather say that man without mentioning the colour we should be colour blind and adress each other as my brother, my sister.
Thank you. Great work. Touches the heart on quite a few levels. I hope one of these days we all wake up and support each other and stop fighting over a new or old issue. I continue to have faith in God, I live in a state of good faith trying to do right, I try my absolute best, and always check myself, find where I can improve and execute right away. We must look after our children, give them a good environment where they can learn, grow, together, to do better than the generation before them. Be good. God (whoever or whatever you worship ) gave you the power of choice, use it wisely. Everyone plays a part in this world. I always said the day one stops learning is the day one becomes stupid. Don't be stupid. 💙
as a 16 year old white student that grew up in the west rand i wish more people knew about the state of our country. rolling blackouts, theft, corruption all litter our cities.
its so sad that my future in this country has been affected by the people that came before me and now i have to deal with the consequences. everytime i leave my house there is a chance that i could be stabbed , robbed, drugged, raped etc . xenophobic attacks are real and i have been stabbed in the past so yeah i know what its like. besides that i still love my country and the people within it.
I understand you frustrations but xenophobic attack on white😮😮 bra south African rather attack our zimbabwen brothers not white....just show me one video where a mob of black south African attack white compare to what they are doing to other foreign national black African people...the problem is that as south Africans we are separated....you will never only see few white people who are loving amongst black in the hood....if it was like that like in the united state we wouldn't feel like we want white poor south African to live alone....but white stay as group and black stay as group
The solution to SA's problem is closure from both black and white people. White people need to sincerely apologise to black people and see them as equals. Black people too need to heal and accept that what happened is now in the past. You guys need to reconcile sincerely and remove the racial barriers see each other as one people.
@@W.M.K. true man. But being born into the aftermath of aparthaid has left a sour taste in the mouths of sooo many south africans that disagree with the current state of things. I've met so many incredibly kind and generous people both black and white. To me colour doesn't matter if you're a good person. But the problem also comes down to the elders that have taught generations after all of this shit went down to blame each other for all of our problems which just leads to more anger and pointing fingers won't solve anything. I can tell u now most whites don't agree with what went down and most blacks want the anc to get out of government so we can rebuild what they broke. We need to unite as one and forget about ethnicity.
@@W.M.K. Will never happen. A sizable chunk of blacks in RSA would genocide the whites and the rest of the decent blacks would complacently acquiesce whilst it happened. Whites see this everyday and blacks wonder why they can't see them as equals, doesn't take a genius to note what ethnic group is committing all the murders and rapes and want to avoid them. With what ANC have gotten away with for the past 25 years, it's proof enough that you can commit any number of atrocities as long as it's targeted against non-blacks. The country will be Zimbabwe 2.0 in 15 years time. Even the rich blacks are moving away in droves to US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and then you can have your rainbow nation of only one color. Black not from the color of skin, but from the fires of destruction that will inevitably consume this cursed country.
It's payback for Apartheid the homies are in charge now
Poverty like wealth, has the power to unify people whom in reality wouldn't even look at each other in the eye.
I try to look my fellow South African in the eye every day - we are one ... we have to heal this wound.
True
True …. That’s a fact .. I hate when people pretend like we’re making these things up. 90% of the time the poor people are black
Fascinating documentary. Not sure how it came on my radar but thank you.
That couple is actually really sweet, I wish them the best
Well done, its an excellent documentary....I lived in SA for 25 years, through apartheid and afterwards, still travel there sometimes, I saw white people with families sometimes in Joburg living on the streets and had heard about the white "slums" but had never seen anything, thanks for bringing it to life.
You'll be even more appalled the day you learn about the black slums and how many there are. Or at least you should be
Great coverage guys. Eye-opener.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it
@@wideawakepodcast Except whites were given the opportunity a century ago to better themselves and these ones didn't. Sorry but it's not the same as how whites systematically limited blacks from engaging in capitalism. South Africa's wealth today is kept by 7% who benefited from Apartheid. Even poor whites in America living like these people were given EVERY opportunity to succeed during 1900s when they migrated from Europe post-war to restart. The jobs were always offered to them, first, before blacks. They weren't beaten up for their skin, they were given jurisdiction, their own police stations, veterans' benefits and welfare etc. Poor whites are just failures as "individuals" who couldn't perform or succeed in the capitalist system. Black South Africans JUST started in 1994. It's only been 30 years.
This is great content. Educational.
Thank you fom Germany. Touching and well made- feel speechless..........
This just made my day❤, the love and compassion they have for one another is just on another level😊🎉

Nah, send these people back to Europe. It's not Africa's problem that they never benefitted from Capitalism.
I am such a massive fan of the YT channel, Soft White Underbelly, and hearing peoples' stories, however, I dont like the abrupt interview style, he interrupts and often comes across inhumane to the person/people he is interviewing. Having said this, I agree with most comments, incredible interview style, the follow up questions reflect your active listening and just being a human being. Really, well done. Looking forward to more documentaries from you in future. Expecially content from SA ❤🙌🏻
I traveled to South Africa this last summer, I spoke to a variety of individuals of all classes/races. The struggle from the fore-fathers is still a factor in many lives. There still divisions in many areas, it’s heartbreaking. I will say, every single person I met, had conversations with about life in South Africa was an incredible experience. I felt blessed that people were open to share their stories.
We all have struggles, trauma is simply trauma. It appeared to be recognized across all. All appeared to have this tenacity or perseverance for better, wanting more. Family is still important, community is still strong.
When the one man stated about being cautious in the area, though I’ve never been there, I heard the same of other locations, from both races.
Africa and its people have a special place in my heart. I wish nothing but the best for all. It takes a long time to heal, I do believe that most are heading in the right direction.
Great video.
europeans aren’t African. They have countries to which they can return. I am proud that the Africans will not allow their nations and people to be crushed and disappear to colonizers who play the victim and feel they deserve what their colonial raider forefathers stole from Africa and it’s people.
He said our forefathers did this to South Africa not us. That is incredible statement to me
Goes to show oppression knows no color and garbage humans come in all shapes and forms. It just so happened the whites had power in the past, that's all
Yea thts why they are in the position they in nw cause they are conquerors ask for pity from the ppl they conquered so stfu with this
I don't think this has anything to do with race, there are millions of South Africans whether black or whites going through this shit.
Black or white poverty has no boundaries...good luck and God bless 🙏
like the fact that some people were actually brutally honest and there was no discrimination. Honesty is key. Thank you guys for keeping us in the loop of what's happening around our country that we're not aware of. God bless the people living in these kind of situations.
We are talking about 300 whites and people are talking about South Africa being racial in reverse. 300 white people compared to 30 million non-white people who live is destitution. I wonder how many people commented here would be interested in a doc about poor non-white people’s lives. It’s expected for them to be poor. It’s supposed to be sad when it’s white people. La tena.
In preempting mindless responses:
Poverty is wrong for everyone.
Yes, there are more than 300 poor elite Peele, but a drop in the ocean covered to the crisis in this country.
Apartheid is not the only thing to blame, colonisation too because it contributed to the infrastructure where you have these land divisions over centuries.
And to the person who said you make your own luck, I wonder how you’d survive if you were to lose everything you have and end up at a back-breaking job (or without one) in destitution 24/7 without food or adequate shelter and sanitation and try your luck.
Don’t romanticise poverty. There’s nothing romantic about lower life spans because of destitution.
Bruh I'm shocked at how people are up in arms cause of 300 poor whites while SA is full of millions of poor black people. Nobody deserves poverty where black or white. So I don't why when it's whites, it turns into a documentary.
As usual excellent young Josh. Here but for the grace of God go I. Such a build up of circumstances that leads to these difficulties. Yet i believe its true, its the poor who truly help each other.
❤❤❤ South Africa😊😊😊
So sad👨👩👧👧👨👩👧👧🍞🍏🥗its heartbreaking for all South Africa's ppl that are struggling to survive here😮👨👩👧👧the poor children💔😭
I don’t really know what I was expecting, although what I got was the White South African equivalent to Slab City.
Great mini-doc!
Very interesting documentary interview. My friend came to Cape Town/George area to teach voice movement therapy and now several black women who had very difficult times started nonprofits and are using it very effectively to help people. The RSA government is recognizing their work too. It's a very interesting country but sadly after apartheid it's gone down hill very fast.
Hopefully next time you'd interview the kids. I would like to know how they feel about growing up in that community
stunning photography. gripping story!
Viendo este documental realmente me ha abierto los ojos la gente que vive en esas comunidades sufren de verdad, y por eso voy a desarrollar un espíritu de gratitud. Deseo que mejore la situación de cada persona que vive en pobreza ❤
God bless all who are in difficulties but who emit humanity.
