One of the many places South Africans don't live in anymore. As a South African who grew up in Yoeville my heart bleeds when I watch this video. Cry our beloved country!
I'm South African and happy to see fellow brothers and sisters enjoying themselves. That "eating together" reminds way back, thats how we grew up. Zack keep it up my brother. One Africa
I'm a South African. It's my first time watching this channel. Thanks for the respect and love for Africa you preaching. I worked with a group of 40-50 Congolese for 3 years. We had a great relationship. I always think about those guys. One thing about Congolese, they take religion deeply with passion, love and respect. Mostly are Christians.
I'm South African and what I'd like to say is Congolese men and women have a special place in my heart. They one of the kindest and respectful Africans I've met.
Yes Boss I Still Remember Rocky Street. THE Market Place i used to by my green vegetables. Piccadilly Conner we used to go drink and hang out. That's were i mate Brenda Fasi few years before she passed Great Memory Shuwa Shuwa. Viva Africa
Indeed, one of the habit I love in Senegal is eating together with the whole family with the same big silver plate. It is warm, delicious. You feel you belong and you feel you are loved❤
Oh Zack -you revived many childhood memories. I remember Rockey Street when it still had trams and I used to walk up and down Cavendish Road to and from school, and used to swim at the Yeoville baths. We used to go to the Yeoville Cinema which was dirty and it was known as the BUG HOUSE. Then a bit later came the Piccadilly on the corner of Cavendish and Rockey. There were lots of immigrants and lots of Fish and Chips shops. My Greek grandfather built the Hillcrest Stores and shops on corner Becker and Raymond Street . Thank you for your super chats. néa
White boy here from Yeoville area from the 1960s and 70s. Great video Zack, thanks for the insight into the folks making their lives there now. Been to Kinshasa DRC, such warm friendly people.
I liked in yeoville as a white south African (I said white because no one was afraid to say black or white then to our brothers and sisters) in the mid '80's to mid '90's....what a wonderful experience as a 21 year old who moved out of joburg northern suburbs. I met an array if amazing people, partied 24/7, had consistent work, could afford my rent in one of the best blocks of flats called Cavendish court in Hunter street. What an amazing experience, I could walk home around the corner all hours of the day or night. People had this silent respect for each other and cultures and their space. It was just a given. A very special place of musos,poets,artists,academics,singles and new couples. In about'95 left. It became dirty, criminal and even though we danced in the streets after the release of Mandela,the place just became awful. I'm glad to see it still has a culture of its own.
Lived in Yeoville in ‘88 in an apartment block on the corner of Grafton and Raleigh. Awesome place back then. Would meet friends for lunch in Hillbrow and walk home afterwards. Even walked home late at night from Bella Napoli on more than one occasion.
Now everyone is painted with th same brush. It in your hands . You can change that. Big ups to you my brother for showing the rest of the continent and the world that there is decency in the continent.
I am a school boy who knows the area in early 80"s , yeoville was a higher end suburb . now looking at what I see it is a decayed society ,exactly like the Congo and where ever they come from .
I love this video, the ppl in this video show happiness.. u r welcome to RSA bafowethu. Big Up Africa I love Black people. I wish we can live together in peace n exchange knowledge
in tears to see how filthy and run down yeoville is. my childhood weekends were spent in this area, that was in the 70's. I really want to know how did it end up this way, how did we allow foreigners feel proud and great that they are dominating an area in SA? city of johannesburg has to answer and we won't allow this anymore. those people there don't have a scarce skill, and if they want to continue with their businesses they must be highly taxed as we are. this is nonsense, it has to stop.
@@hadrianadjili8187 coz first I'm not attracted to filth. Secondly, SAns are treated like 2nd class citizens whilst you guys (foreigners)are allowed to be free to do whatever you like, even if it's illegal and immoral, and my concern is you have this entitlement mentality and the attitude that SAns shouldn't dare have a say on anything that they don't like. Strangely, when you're in your countries you adhere to your laws, eg cleanliness at your market places, paying rent, etc but in SA you are one of the biggest contributors to pollution and degradation of our places and you do it with no shame. Why is that? Why?
I’m South African and I hope all are able to make good lives for themselves . I also hope crime reduces and happiness and love spreads through South Africa 🌸
Of all African nationals ; brothers and sisters my first favourite people are Malawians, they are very humble and peaceful. Followed by Mozambicans, they also humble and hard workers, but all of you are my fellow Africans one nation, one heart,one love.
I grew up in Yeoville, it was a beautiful Jewish neighborhood with amazing schools. All that is gone now, replaced by squalor. it's quite painful to think that I cannot fully enjoy my homeland but this will change
@@ogone1465 Indeed a diverse and deep history. Yeoville itself was established by a Yeoman and botanist. My primary school was established in 1906, 117 years ago.
In Yeoville they'll eat you alive and the most painful part is that it's a violence crime , if it was just a petty crime socialising in the area would be easy.
Thank you for this peak into SA culture. I love SA for its brotherhood and different lifestyles. I'm planning to visit in November and hope I can connect with this side of the the country.
It's that one thing majority of us don't appreciate. It feels so great being around fellow Africans elsewhere. It's in my bucket list too,to travel as much as I will be able to accross the motherland and let my kids explore this continent to the fullest instead of admiring places where every other person looks down on you just by being black.
I was told yeoville is a foreigners land In south African most south Africans hate being there ....planning to visit south Africa in a month time hope my car don't get stolen
Very beautiful video my brother. First time watching. I was just in jo’burg for two weeks. Missing it dearly. I’m making plans to live there soon. I will continue to watch your videos. I met a good brother from the Congo while I was there. The people of SA native or not was SO enlightening and so refreshing to be around especially coming d from America and their selfish ways. Looking forward to living in SA. Peace n Blessings brother.
There are Congolese guys that offer South Africans a tour in Youville, because, as they say, South Africans need a foreigner to be guaranteed safety in youville. They were on one of the radio stations.
It’s so great people are very friendly there you are the champion Beautiful shirt i like it mister zack my name is David .. i follow you a lot in RUclips Channel
The Ethiopian Restaurant is CLEAN, ALL OVER THE WORLD, they are very clean people, I'm African myself. In Israel, I must say, the Ethiopian food and Restaurant is VERY CLEAN
This man is telling the truth of how Africans eat together off the same plate. Even as a Xhosa man, whenever I go back to the Eastern Cape, after we have slaughtered the sheep or goat or cow, we eat off the same plates.
Hi Zack , South Africa is very tolerating even at its own detriment. I'm a South African and interesting watch your Yeoville video promoting your foreign people inside SA which shows how tolerating SA are. Now ,the hate that destroys our country 🇿🇦 is the identify theft by foreigners, the willingness to perpetuated deadly crimes inside South Africa, ie human trafficking, prostitution flauting of our laws, etc really sits ugly with me. You said nothing about Yeoville being in SA country for South Africans too whose livihood has been destroyed by some of foreigners illegal activities displayed as businesses.✌️
@Wandera Dan Asking a simple question when evidence points to the fact that they don't is not that. Otherwise the buildings would not be abandoned and run down most of the time.
Thank you Zack I am 85 and lived in Bellevue Yeoville, Becker Street. It was always progressive and had lovely cafés and good schools. I remember it well and went to school at the Yeoville Convent. God Bless you and thank you for your wonderful chat.
uncle zack really your kindness means à lot just keep it up god bless you more than that you have,cause you know how the life is so it's very important to be kind like you,really no need to cherish luxuries cause everything come and go even the life that we have is borrowed by someone thank you very much for your advice.
Peace be upon every brother nd sister living in yeoville.. maar kodwa ke lets not forget that our foreign brothers n’ sisters have taken over yeoville his intro told the whole shebang.. nigerians’ Congolese’ malawians’ Zimbabweans.. did he mention abe suthu nope zulu kamalandela nope emaswati nope hayicha

All black people globally gotta come together as one powerful nation. The more we go divided , the easier is for the colonialists to keep marginalizing us, and separate us. through countries, cultural belongings, religion, tribalism…etc We gotta wake up and be United. Reconnect with ourselves, our true history (not the one that been taught by the outsiders ), reconnect with our culture , education, values and morals. Ignorance is keeping us in bondage, but there’s always an option, alternative to it: be willing to learn, grow and question things in order to get better. Knowledge is the key that will save us. Peace ✌️ out.

Thx for the tour. I used to work in Yeoville in the 80's..was the place!!
My grandmother got married in that synagogue in the early 50s!

Rocky street was my favorite, Time Square was my fav club.. during them times don't know now, left SA 18years ago ...
Thank you Zack....I thought you were Zimbabwean, that show's Afrikans are One !
eating together is one of the best thing I teach my kids we eat with hands, while we eating i ask them about how is school an other things in life
This is very nice . This should be on TV .
A trip down memory lane, Rocky Street, Malaituka where I enjoy African Cuisine.🥰
Great video Zac. Keep them coming.

I can imagine Zack's sentiment in Yeoville. Keep us big man.
Greetings ! Us as South Africans we try our level best to avoid that place not because we have issues with our brothers but crime is the reason.
One of many places you walk down the street and you feel like you've left South Africa, Sunnyside is 1 of those places
Yea there is that unspoken rivalry.
In Yeoville they'll eat you alive and the most painful part is that it's a violence crime , if it was just a petty crime socialising in the area would be easy.
@@dude6752 Rivalry between being alive and dead.
ABSOLUTELY
Misss my stay in SA. Yoeville was my first hood. Really enjoyed been around my fellow africans from all over the Mother Land
Oh Zack you are so interesting
Raleigh Street became divided into Raleigh and Rockey Street.
Noticed he didn't mention any South Africans but all these people are not from the country
So what? Is it the only video he shot in S.A?
Thank you for this peak into SA culture. I love SA for its brotherhood and different lifestyles. I'm planning to visit in November and hope I can connect with this side of the the country.
What SA culture?
Love your English Channel bro. Once you taste the anglophone system, you can’t go back anymore into the French system even if you are speaking it…
Yeoville is one of the dangerous place in Joburg 🤞🤞

Do they pay rates and taxes, water electricity... just asking.
Most of them do pay just as much as most black south africans pay rates and taxes
