- Produced in 2005, this 54 minute documentary, written & directed by Kevin Harris - looks at the phenomenon of township families who, over the preceding decade, had moved to the elite Johannesburg Northern Suburbs - reflecting on how they see their new environment in relation to their township roots.
Featured are Ms Angie Baloyi, Dr Elijah & Valerie Nkosi & family, Brian Mdluli & family, Ms Sibongile Mazibuko & son Musa and Ms Ruth Gumbi.
This documentary is RUclips GOLD. It's interesting how so much has changed over the years. Yet, so much remains the same. Degrees and education are no longer the secure answer to attaining the luxurious suburban lifestyle in this New South Africa, the goalposts have moved further.
This was great to rewatch. Being featured in it, 16 years ago, it feels like an old VHS tape of my family and the political environment of the time. Thank you!
Hi Sindi.
Watching and I can see why.
Greatly shot and narrated. Still relevant.®®®
❤hi how's the family doing
Soweto has a vibe that cant be matched by any other place.
How are we only seeing this gem now?
In 2019, this is really relateable still!
This really gives great context what life in Johanessburg was like in 2005
Wow this footage is gold
Give thanks wonderful content timeless.
Really interesting. I hope things have improved for black families living in the northern suburbs in 2023, but I fear it’s probably not changed enough.
Things have gotten better. The houses look a lot better now.
Thank you for this amazing documentary! I wish these families can reflect on this!
Thanks Mr Kevin Harris!
Back on black fighting was a problem that needed to be examined. Imagine going back in time like this. What would u have done.
It would be cool if you revisit them
Why am I only seeing this now..
I am watching nice content I did subscribe
Going back in history. The Natives of South Africa 🇿🇦 lost ware fighting the British. The generation that came did not do much on how to learn in the new world 🌎 even though if they did but the person behind the education system was 🇬🇧 😮😮😮
We did not work the land. In our work places we face came face to face with abelungu but don’t ask why have they not gone back to Europe if apartheid ended
When we moved to those nice areas, white people were looking and watching us or monitoring how we are doing. We Africans did not learn or raise our consciousness to what it means to live in a surbub. We lucked our own creativity (e.g learning how the white create all these nice buildings & cars. How do we create our own products to suite an African as well as building our economy.) If our previous ancestors did all that the South African economy will be around R1.1 Trillion today. Another problem I see here is that black people aren’t getting along with other black peoples& that is a fake myths big lie.
Clever blacks😂
One thing i dont undestand about our parents generation is how they were abused maar they still move next to white people
