Yeah speak so openly about it I guess it's their tradition and culture and we have to respect that and if that means setting William on fire then so be it 🤷♂️
I find it fascinating how open and willing these folks are to talk to Louis, an obvious outsider. Here you have a mob and yet they are always willing to talk calmly and answer Louis questions. Similar in the other clips where they enter into a highjacked building and talked to the squatters. The squatters weren't afraid to talk to Louis, even with the cameras.
Well he doesn't come as one opposing and he's quite objective in his questioning, having equanimity in his manner and relatively soft spoken. Though eloquent and having his own opinion, he never flaunts his moral judgements but rather expresses them as questions.
I like how his partner Abraham is just standing there pretending to be a bystander and not knowing what's going on, he probably was part of the beating; he admitted to beating the other suspect with a shambok
Yeah South Africa since the end of apartheid in a nutshell. The effect of ending it and giving a communist government power ment that law and order broke don almost instantly
It's because his judgement for the cable thief was "burning" so I suppose they thought it was poetic, either way I suspect they simply wanted to issue justice on their own terms in case he was only charged to only be released after a brief imprisonment.
When Louis questions the people who have committed wrongdoing, it always comes to these stalemates of brutal reality. Truly unfortunate to see South Africa in this position
This was pretty much European justice not too long ago. And in China they used to boil criminals in pots, until an uprising where upon they would boil the officials in pots. This is what people become under poverty and without institutions of justice. This in not inherent to African people, this is inherent to humanity. God help us that we can overcome this savagery. Education, economic development, and the rule of law are the only solutions.
we have just gotten back from our holiday in South Africa !what a beautiful country and (by our experience) such a nice people! Criminal is probably high and it can be risky but we were nicely accepted everywhere we went to . We love SOUTH AFRICA and its people !
South Africa loves you too. We always appreciate people like you who speak from their first hand experience so thank you. All those who paddle negative stories based on what they've seen or heard on social media should shut up. Keep well 🥳
When people were hanged back in the day thousands would come to watch out of morbid curiosity and enjoyment....its disgusting how you can clearly see that beneath the outrage they want it to happen because its entertaining.
Fast track to 2023 and electric cables theft or cable theft and breaking of infrastructure is the most popular crime in South Africa right now, our trains don’t work because of it and many other transport networks, households , hospitals and other infrastructure are affected by it, William is a hero
U mean sit behide s barracked door with a metal pipe for protection , hoping not to become the lastest rape or murder victim . This is why they are ruthless.. I watch the community burn two rapist in a Africa village , one guy was still moving dieing in a dirty stream full of waste , everyone came out to have a look in the morning after the barbeque . Had a look around not o e bartered an eyelid . Serious
LMAO I KNOW don't worry though, the kids tend to be more durable cause they not playing on mobile phones. Imagine a first world hitting the floor lmao there would be tears and maybe blood.
LowlyGrinder so so true bro, it made me realize that people will get upset and complain about anything regarding America, even though they have never even lived there or shown interest 😂
Why didnt anybody think to tell the crowd that nobody will be burned, or beaten, but will just be put on trail at court. Nobody thought to do any of that and instead just fostered fears of the other wanting to burn them.. That was just stupid and could have been easily resolved but went the worst direction possible.
Crazy thing is, theres plenty of videos online of their 'justice', which does often include burning, beating to death or being slashed to death with machetes.. It always helped me get to the end of the video by imagining the person was likely a child molester or something... now i know it can be something as trivial as this :/
Does burn mean something else to them or is it literally setting them on fire? If fire, that is quite a punishment. On a side note, Louis must practice his calm demeanor.
More people in the west need to watch documentaries like this, and travel when they can. Gaining a better perspective about the world you don’t live in is *so* valuable to your perspective of the world you do live in. I got the chance to travel to Egypt when I was young, and had the opportunity to explore not only the wealthy hub of Sharm El Sheikh, but also the poverty-stricken outskirts. I can’t put into words how valuable that experience was for me, just seeing the stark contrast in economy, not to mention the language, culture, and just general way of life.
Western civilization, more specifically Christianity brought the notion of burning people to Africa... I bet South Africa hasn't burned 1% of the people Western Civilization has. So yeah, curb your racism...
Because it is one of the major languages in South Africa. Many Africans speak 3-4+ languages. Depending on who their colonizers were, they might speak French or English.
@arse stain when Louis is talking to him and William zones out the lady in the background is basically saying "let's fight over there so he does it again" i.e. William won't dare threaten to burn him with us here, not a single person in the background is defending William 😂
@@jonathanmthomas2728 they're saying William is lawless "ga ana molao" literally "he has no law" in setswana, they're speaking both Zulu and tswana. This is Johannesburg hence my slight surprise to hear this much tswana. They are essentially telling the police why they should be allowed to kill William for revenge (crazy, I know)
@@jonathanmthomas2728 I'm from Botswana a neighbor of South Africa(think of the Canada to the USA or New Zealand to Australia) so I wouldn't have understood the background chat if it was the more common Zulu
@@delCorteh That's interesting, i would have assumed they were speaking Zulu or Sesotho, are the police speaking setswana as well? Also apparently William can understand setswana since it seemed like he was distracted by what they're saying.
Look, someone has to get burned. Those guys aren't leaving until someone gets burned.
Hahahaha
Lol!!!
It's like going to the movies, but no film is projected, as u can imagine this doesn't sit well , Pure confusion.
They where protecting another person from being burnt so they will burn him instead
Threaten to burn someone? That's a burnin'
I could listen to that women for hours. She makes burning people sound like poetry.

Glad I'm not the only one

So.. What do you want to do to him?
“We want to burn him.”

She didn't want to implicate herself, so she quickly said "it's the community" 🤣😂
Was this Los Angeles ? Or San Francisco??

Community hates him cause the whole community is riddled with criminals
I think this was Donald Lekgwathi”s girlfriend, he saved his life lol
Strong woman
This is crazy man
