    Your guide to Langa is absolutely amazing. So well-informed, super-intelligent and well spoken. What a star. he is. He has just inspired me to put Langa on my bucket list.

      Sir, you should've stopped at well-informed. The other adjectives are a bit tone deaf. I'm sure you didn't mean any disrespect to the IQ black people in South Africa..

    I just wish that we would stop the littering, instead of bemoaning that Langa is dirty. We are the ones who throw dirt in the streets. Let's love our neighborhoods and keep them clean.

    9:46 The EC is over 168 000km2 and these particular issues are largely isolated to the far Eastern parts of the province. While they are a reality in those parts, it's certainly doesn't mean the entire province needs to be painted as some backward place devoured of any development. However, he's entitled to his opinion on the subject.
    Even with the economic issues in the province ,there are numerous towns and cities that offer a similar standard of life to what most get in the WC.
    Great video nonetheless. Keep it up. 🙏🏾

    Anyone watching this, the guy he is with must be influential in the community and is giving him heavy protection by default, do not attempt something like this alone. I have done this under similar circumstances, and another with locals where i didn't have the protection to openly film.

    I was born in Cape Town, my father was staying in Gugulethu Male only Hostel and my mother was working and staying in White only Suburbs, worked as a domestic worker and I was staying with her because we were not allowed to stay with him in hostels during Apartheid years. The only time I will spend with my father as normal family during month end at the park in area designated for Black only people or during December holidays when we are in Transkei, Eastern Cape. Transkei was a homeland for Black African Xhosa only people homeland.
    Even though I was staying with my mom I was not allowed to attend school in White Suburbs, because I'm black and I was attending school in Gugulethu but at least I had a driver that was orgonised by my mother's boss that was transporting me to and from school.
    I still believe not all White South Africans support Apartheid but it was imposed to them by National Party Government.

    Today leaders from the ANC lead Eastern Cape still mismanage the province and people from there flood the Da lead Western Cape who exceed expectations in managing the province despite the influx from the Eastern Cape. This also causes a housing problem and therefore a lot of informal houses are erected - most of the times illegally.

      The white settlers that came to the Cape in 1652 lived there for close on 200 years before the nearest black tribe, the Xhosa, even became aware of their existence. This only happened when the white settlers started moving up the coast and into the interior.
      No Bantu tribe initially lived near the Cape, only the Khoi and the San, but they were nomadic and are not Bantu.
