😂😂😂
I have seen a video of Trevor Noah saying during his young life mixed children were separated from their parents and relocated somewhere else
Watch the documentary, I think around the Cape flat gangs or the numbers gang,, buh basically some of the gangs/"coloured's stated that they relate more to "Black Americans" than "Africans". Something along those lines..
Yeah, it's the name of a gang
I died 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In your free time, you should watch '4 corners', it's a movie about the different gangs in Cape Town.
Thanks
This makes me emotional every time I watch it. I've seen so many dead bodies right outside my house from a young age, trying to study through many shootings during the day and night...it's become so normal and that's sad.
@Cebo88 So true. It's very sad. When it happens almost every week, one becomes desensitized and if you don't make it out of the hood, you'll most probably end up doing the same thing because all you know is hood/gang life.
I'm so happy to see ya'll are reacting to this video. My grandparents lived in Hanover Park for over 60 years before they passed away. They raised their 10 kids and 2 grandkids in Hanover Park. They've all become productive members of society and respected in Hanover Park. I still live in Hanover Park, that young boy "Marizaan" that was interviewed would go to the shop for my mom. He is so smart, friendly and helpful but he has so much to overcome because of the things he sees and he still has so much to overcome. Alot of kids in Hanover Park have to grow up too soon because of the homes they are born into, they see their parents on drugs, selling drugs, their parents are abusive, kids are being used to sell drugs and they end up joining gangs unless they make the choice to be different. This is the Cape Town, people don't see so thank you for shedding some light. I am blessed that my parents chose to send us to a School in a different area, we were raised in a household with a mother and father that are actively involved in Church and both my brother and I are actively involved in Church. After school, my grandparents would look after us until my dad would pick us up because both my parents were working. Not every kid in Hanover Park is as fortunate as I am. I stay in Hanover Park because I know the challenges the kids face. My mom still attends Church in Hanover Park and the kids at the Church know our door is always open, whether they need a plate of food, help with homework or assignments, even getting them a resumé for a job applications. There are also many organisations that help kids where they can and they do the best that they can with the little that they have. Once again, thank you for showing this video
Wow! My area actually made it on this video clip lol I live in a ghetto suburb called Lavender Hill, situated in Cape Town. The guy in the black and white top, He's name is Roland. He is a gang boss. He is a big part of the problem in Lavender Hill, but I suppose he is just a product of he's surroundings and upbringing. Things are so much worse than this video can describe. Young boys...9,10 years old are given drugs to use and told to go and kill. It's crazy...But the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God that leads to salvation. I have seen many lives changed and transformed by the power of God through his son Christ Jesus. There is hope...
Amen 🙌🙌🙌
He is the actual answer and will provide the strategy to overcome , for good too.
@@sylviasworld9397 Amen to that! By the grace of God, I run a local youth group within the Lavender Hill community on behalf of the local church attend within the area. Many heartbreaking stories and broken you people that should not have the experience that they do at that particular age. If you see a broken community, you do not have to look far within that community and you will find broken homes too. Absent Fathers, parents on some sort of substance abuse, broken families etc…since we’ve opened up the youth ministry last year September we have seen 9 young souls come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Gangs gun violence in some places in cape town has been going on for so many years, at some point the army was deployed to take care of the situation because it was so bad. Innocent people always lose their lives at the hands of this criminals. 😩😢
That boy is growing faster than his age
I'm glad you guys got to see this! Damn, there is a hood just like this in every city!
This is an epidemic all over the world. I live in Australia and we hwve the same problem in the Outback towns, children running around late at night stealling, attacking and causing distruction. There seems to be no discipline and order. Wake up parents and elders we need to try harder and Pray for law and order.
The issue in Australia is not just Aboriginals, though is it? . You guys have a serious problem with "Bikey" gangs and have done so for many, years.
@@sylviasworld9397 "You guys have a serious problem with "Bikey" gangs and have done so for many, years."....I've never heard it being a large problem that affects a lot of Australians? Most of us living in a city have never seen a gang.
@@newbrisI used to live in Australia and my sister still does. Bikeys are a societal issue, as they are the ones responsible for much of the drug importations and distribution in Australia. They are very violent and have killed many too. Much less than a delinquent aboriginal child, imho . There are major issues in the aboriginal community too. I know. I used to live in Redfern, Glebe and also in Perth. I used to hear aboriginal people and kids out at night in Glebe , but rarely saw them in the day. Obviously, they feel they don't fit into their own country and alcoholism is an issue. That was by design though, just like with Native Americans.
@sylviasworld9397 I'm learning interesting new things with these comments... hopefully I'll find documentaries on this here on RUclips
@@sylviasworld9397 Yes, but I repeat, ".I've never heard it being a large problem that affects a lot of Australians? Most of us living in a city have never seen a gang."
It’s so heartbreaking see such a young kid be so desensitised to violence
The Cape Flats ' situation is so sad. Besides the gang violence and crime these kids come from very dysfunctional families which send them straight to gangsters because if you can't train your kids someone else will and they will teach them wrong things. . I agree the best way is to move away from that environment and start over somewhere else for the sake of the kids.
This is so sad. I really hope they get a community breakthrough on this. That poor baby was carrying man sized problems, on his kid sized shoulders.
I'm South African living in the North West province, coming from a village but now living in the city because of work. I envy living in Cape Town in future but I always think of Cape Town in town where it's safer. It's so sad to see this extreme part of Cape Town, especially coming from a quiet, rural area. Drugs are slowly seeping into even our respectable villages now but it's still a fairly new thing that can be curbed. And we know that foreigners are the ones coming with drugs into our country. It's a fact.
I’ve seen this years ago this really a good documentary I wonder what he’s doing now
He's in high school I think.
I know that he's also a taxi guard/door operator😅
He's well mannered tho
@@NikoLevi. At least he ain't in a gang
@@dawoodwilliams3652 I hope it stays that way
We have that problem of gangs shooting out by a primary school. Kids had to duck and cover and the school got shot down for some time. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean
Watching this video breaks my heart. I am just glad i am from the peaceful province (Limpopo).
6:44 it's not actual Americans it's their gang name
Duh 😂
I'm from Durban and we have the same problem here , at a young age I thought all over south Africa it like this, till I moved out
am living in south africa but i wasn't aware of this😮💨 i guess living far from big cities its a blessing
I have a friend who is a teacher in Hannover Park... It's always heart sore every other day she RSA posting about a kid she taught or knew who got killed or someone in the neighborhood she knew.
South Africa's crime is no joke. But gangs god damn😭😭😭😭
The Hanover Park people was EVICTED FROM DISTRICT SIX ACCORDING GROUP AREARS ACT
I live in Cape town this is still minor story there is worse
This place might be dangerous but this is home to me❤
U should look up emerald in Johannesburg
this si south africa cape town... this is no joke what you see in movies happens here on a real..... like every single day
Wow, that was heavy. I started getting a headache because it's soooo overwhelming. I hate seeing kids live in difficult times, especially when they're so you. I know they have PTSD. Stressin hard.
Nice colour you wore today❤
AMERICANS is a gang name not a nationality - You must understand the history - Being an " AMERICAN" as Hollywood portrayed it over the decades, was the coolest IDENTITY - and that is where the name came from - for the gang - but that does not mean that it is actually american people - fighting - hope this clears up how the name (Brand) came about
This is the area I live in.
Hanover Park has the most amazing and gifted people you can find in cape town.
Unfortunately most of us grow up without parents because they addicts.
Most of us are raise by grandparents.
The ones who are gangsters are protected by their families when law enforcement does something.Yet that same family complains about the violence.
They hide the drugs for them,they hide the guns for them.
Not everyone is involved.Most of us haven't seen the outside.Nobody knows that when you stand on table Mountain you can't even point out where Hanover Park is.
You walk outside and always have to look around you to make sure no gangsters are approaching your area.
But like I said not everyone is involved.You die if you speak.And people are scared to speak.
At the moment now the gangs have "peace".They were forced to by the community.
If we March to fix things,the police asks for permits.
Anyway I work with Youth and they are my heart.I love seeing their mindsets and behaviours change when they learn and grow.
But God Is Good,All the Time.
we go thru this everyday its normal 😢
The way he talks about his Mommy😢
90% of Coloureds do not have GUNS IN THE CAPE TOWN TOWNSHIP.....MOSTLY GANGS
This is really disturbing and disappointing at the same damn time, quite heartbreaking wow
You guys wore a different colour today🙂
No black person will risk his/her life to enter in cape flats...
BIG CAP
Big Facts
@@colossal2028 maybe because of their racism. Not bc its tough.
@@Neo_Samurai Im lost???
@@Neo_Samurai kindly go there 😂
10:22 That's bad, I didn't think we had Gun violence like that on the African Continent if it wasn't from the military.
It's sad to think that this what My brothers and sisters have to go through. I know there's no where else to move to because that's home to people. This is a problem that is cause by the so Called Democracy Goverment we have and this could have be avoided if everyone were included the systems this wouldn't be happening
that documentary always makes me sad for my people. there is really some unimaginable situations a lot of young kids are in.
@thedemouchetsreact guys the Cape flats are an informal settlement. Either their parents are part of the gangs or the kids have been taken in by the gangs because their parents left them.... This happens here in JHB as well.... It's sadly nice that the gangs take the kids in....
I know you are well intentioned with advising people to move, but on the flats, with low income being the norm, drug use rampant, guns being flooded onto our streets, that move will most likely be from bad to worse. My cousin stays in Hanover Park but i cant speak down on Hanover because the entire Cape Flats is a ghetto, there is worse than Hanover. The crime is but a symptom. Drug use is only seen as a crime and not as also a disease. Thats the lifeblood of gangs, supply and demand, and said demand is created by broken families and voilence. Its a vicous cycle. I wish to move my younger sister and nieces who stays in my house to a better life but i cant because with Covid, retrenchment then unemployment compounded an already difficult situation into a seeminly impossible one. Me moving them to a slighty better neighbourhood will cost quadruple the property I own. The girls are bright, the eldest matriculated Top of her class and is busy with her Honors at Univerisity and the other 2 girls are getting almost all straight As but they have to move through the area to get to school. I porvide them with as much support as possible for me to muster but even with the strongest mindset, a stray bullet can end it all. On the flats gunfire doesnt even faze people anymore. We watch from the sidewalk like its a movie, the gunmen will even run past us with the firearm still smoking. The police might even catch them, but lax laws wont hold them. Crime is a means of control and by keeping us enveloped in crime, we will know our place and not become the neighbors of the well heeled. How can you escape when its not only gansters against you, but enemies you cant even see. If its in the interest of "unknown" forces to keep us down, theyll keep doing it, because its their nature (a tiger is gonna tiger). We're not defeated to the point where we resign to the notion of "it is what it is" but we are tired and many days clueless as to the next move. I take solace in the fact that like you said, this type of voilence is a global issue and somewhere people are going through worse, therefor, if they can put one foot infront of the other, so will we. There is a difference between living and existing and one day my hope and intention is, that the generation im responsible for will know what living feels like.
Beloved, I spoke from a lived scenario of an extremely similar experience. The U.S. isn’t a fairytale. It doesn’t automatically gets better, but it doesn’t mean it’ll get worse. You have to weigh all options and take the best chance at better when all odds are against you. Sometimes it takes creating your own opportunities. Saying a special prayer for your family.🙏🏾❤️
💯
Chicago
There are neighbourhoods where the law cannot go in. Seen with my own eyes how cops had to sit and wait for gang leaders to give the go ahead so they could remove the bodies lying in the street after some gang shootings.
I always say this. No matter where you go in the world, ALL places has a "good" and a "bad" side. Whats sad is, a lot of tourists "and locals from another province", will get mugged and then say eg: Cape Town is a bad place, instead of saying this or that part of CT or JHB etc is dangerous. Anyways, I like the fact that we share the good, the bad and the ugly. We dont want no culture shock when you guys come over 😂
The gangs in sa are only popular in cape town not the whole country but in america its even more worse gangs are everywhere..
As a Nigerian for the life of me I don’t know why other Africans is moving to South Africa smh
It is wild coming from you considering that Nigeria doesn't even capture the actual rate of crime thus the stats are not even reliable. One thing about SA is that they will do capture, record stats so they are ahead of it. Boko Haram had the country on chokehold. Then there is human trafficking, armed robbery, hired assassins, kidnapping, bandits and Fulani herdsmen attack. Then you want to come on here and act like you are living in a haven.
What's wrong with South Africa?
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't lie and don't make me angry! You know exactly why most Nigerians come to South Africa. To sell drugs that are destroying our country!
We all know why 🙄... Sizokthola 🤧
I blame the municipality that neglect these neighborhoods and use the resources meant to enrich these communities to innovate tourist attractions areas and the suburbs. The black and coloured communites of Cape Town are neglected and forced to eat each other alive because their municipalities don't have their best interest at heart
Idle minds... the ex gang member knows as maybe that's what he's felt at some point
Moving is next to impossible, getting a good job that will alow moving to a better area possible, is even more impossible....
I live close to area's like that, it's considered as the 'upper class ghetto', but houses here go up to a Million Rand (53 000 USD) which is ridiculously expensive....
Most of these people are lucky to have a job that pays 6k a month (317 USD).... They hardly get hired at good paying jobs with proper benefits because of their vocabulary or appearance also blacks get first privilege when getting employment, which is understandable but the workplaces don't exactly favor us, so these people work at factories or shelf packers, things like that.... Moving would be wise but it's so far fetched for people who are already struggling to survive without the gang violence....
I know all this because my family lives there, i worked close to that area and I've worked with people living there, it's tough, especially when people have a bunch of kids and those kids also come home with more kids because teen pregnancy is a norm.... They say 'Pick your poison' and these people chose not to be homeless and survive through the gun violence
Moving is not an option for most, poverty is too big. They flats they live in the don't pay rent so to move you have to rent and rent in a decent suburb, these people don't have the money. Many parent are unemployed and depend on grants from the government, which is also not much. If people do work it's minimum wage which is for food and electricity for the month
Cape flats is dangerous I will never set my foot there again the experience I had there I will never forget it bophelo baka kaofela🤞
Every time she says wait a minute I think of Dr. Heavenly😭
Very sad 😢
4:51 nah bro. Your teacher pauses for the gunshots to finish, and if they not coming to the school, then school continues. It’s normal
So many of our Coloured people grow up in poverty. I am from Durban South Africa and there are similar situations there. There are gangs in our communities because we are a forgotten community. Stereotypes about coloured people are that we are violent, and unambitious. I married a coloured man from Johannesburg who constantly gets racially profiled. Police and govt are aware of the troubles that persist in the coloured communities but in my opinion I feel like they just don't care.
In USA its the same
Different Locations, Same Issues
@@TheDemouchetsREACT😢
The government in Capetown has failed and imagine it doesn't happen in white suburbs only
27:35 that child is getting the worst hiding of his life after this🥺
So sad.
The current government doesn't care about these people who were forced by the Apartheid government to live there because they were not allowed to live in White or Black areas, and the ANC government doesn't care about them because they are not considered Black, so they are sidelined for housing and there's new employment discrimination that stipulated clearly that Black people must get jobs first, despite the fact that Coloured people were also discriminated against by the Apartheid government, now the new government ANC doesn't consider them Black enough either.
With poverty, discrimination, drugs and violence it's a situation where gangsterism thrives.The Western Cape is a DA run constitutency but these communities are neglected in favor of suburbs and other tourist attractions.
The Americans is a gang from south-africa its not actual amricans from america
not in morocco yall could look
America's is the largest gang in Cape town about 10000 members
This is just a everydag thing
they just gang names
in my area there's BigBoys & Afghans
Americans are not actual americans its just a name
The name of the gang is actually Ugly Amreicans
