Hi there I'm glad you were proven wrong about the area it's quite safe I mean if you going to walk around at night after dark it's an entirely different story grkvandale is not a dangerous place I wish I could say the same about helenvale
So true, I was proven wrong, the community is quite opposite of what the media says.... I like Gelvandale.... It was also very clean and quiet, I guess like anywhere else in SA, it also has its ups and downs.... Wish the media narrative would change, Salute!
Port Elizabeth people love to drink however they extremely hard working people. Extremely friendly and excellent host. Gelvandale is probably the safest area compared to katanga, korsten, shordaville also one must note that most violence is amongst the gangs and gangsters ordinary people are very seldom troubled by crime. P.e is probably one of the safest provinces in our country.
Thanks so much, so goid to see Hiw bear and clean this area r is , where I once lived and had my dancing school at Gelvandale Com., Centre Halls. I now reside in Sydney Australia. Thanks so much. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
Hi I'm from gelvandale was born here quite safe yes there is isolated case of drugs n alcohol abuse but quite frankly a very nice and chilled place dispite some cases of violence
Thank you for watching. It definitely is opposite of narrative, if anything I would definitely move there and stay there...once again thank you for watching 🙏🙏🙏
My area I grew up in this area.. My best memories is attending boys brigade and playing rugby. Gangsterism is rife here with two Main gangs in the area. The upstand doggs and dust life gang, the community itself and the people get along well
Please change the title, its EXTREMELY misleading. I attended St.Thomas Senior Secondary High school in Gelvandale. Years ago, it was run by Catholic nuns. So, youve seen for yourself how safe it is.
Im from Springdale But Now living In Capetown Tbe Best Neighborhood one could Wish For Gelvandale is a safe Area there is moments But My Home time That i miss
I am born and bred in Gelvan.All the areas he drove through is where i walked by feet.He is completely misinformed. My daughter,sister,brother and my entire family from my late dad side still residing in Gelvan.My precious and historical high school I matriculated from..was not even mentioned and yet he drove pass.. Does he know the late Prof Jakes Gerwel is from Gail road? Many famous celebs and sport stars that I grew up with is from there. He only mentioning South end and not even Salisbury park and Fairview(known as Overbaakens)So many media personalities are from Gelvan..its unbelievable..people I grew up with...
I'm a resident of gelvandale for 55 yrs I will never move from here I grew up went to primary school Chapman senior and my childhood yrs at Union cong church I love my area❤
We stayed in liebnberg rd with the septoos they had a vegetable shop at the shopping mall attended paterson high school used to collect for mr septoo in batanga
Was a nice video, i also grew up thr... Ive walked those streets a million times... Looks has never been an issue it still looks beautiful, its just the drugs... Otherwise my heart was happy to see my hometown❤ U should do Timothy valley... Then lets see... Lol
My xhosa life partner was shot and killed here on 25th May 2020. Kaptein 2 vannie Shonalanga, Kwesta, Taila, Thando Hanabe , nkosana yum. My prince. Nobo6can tell me what happened to my prince...😢
Why concentrating on Gelvandale only? It doesn't represent the whole of the Northern Area. If you just went more north, you would have seen the poverty, chaos, and a fractured community that also affects Gelvandale, There is still Springdale, Beverly hills Helenvale (Katanga) these are all suburbs that are just separating Gelvandale by a single rd.
Good question, apparently i have done videos of the whole Northern Areas, actually the whole of PE... If you check on my channel you will see the videos. Video for Helenvale (Katanga) is just above this one. If you get a chance maybe scroll up & down and see some of the videos. Thank you 😊
How's it bro, it's imperative that you do your homework of the area and or country you documenting. That said gelvandale stadium is very much in use. Local community and p.e at large uses the stadium right through the year for various different occasions
A very poor piece of work. The headline alone is insulting and most misleading. From a journalistic perspective, this is very poor work. There appears to have been no research done. He doesn't know if the stadium is in use, neither does he know the demographics. This could've been a great production had it been done by someone who knows the area, or someone who did prior research.
Totally agree with you... HELENVALE video will be loaded in the next few days to come.... Same with Missionvale and Kleinskool. Thank you for watching 🙏🙏🙏
I am staying in Helenvale Stag street over 25 years and i am a Photographer for 20 years and i use to take photos in the whole of Helenvale so helenvale so i just wonder what this video you make were all about 😮 i just wonder
You mention helenvale katanga but you didn't go in there because you know that's the dangerous place where you should take video and show the people the real katanga
My place,my ppl.We do not call ourselves a location or children frm the hood.We are now doctors pharmacists lawyers professors teachers architects tradesman artists and more.I guess you saw the murals as you approached Gelvandale Spar.Great names grew up here in our township fondly refered to as "die Ghana" eg.Prof Jakes Gerwel, Ex Vice Chancellor Derrick Swartz of NMU,Our soccer greats Dane Klate Rowan Williams,Rugby greats galore and sm great musicians Esther Miller etc. Most btfl schools with top class teachers churches and mosques .A btfl mix of different religions and cultures and we basically all know each other even if just by face recognition. Known for our friendly and helpful nature.❤❤❤
Don't know much about. Galvendal. Had an aunty. Who immigrated from. Zimbabwe to port Elizabeth. But a lot of water has gone under the Zambezi to now hear a lot of Kirkwood was with late husband there in. 1988 stayed at hotel. Where lighthouse is
Thank you for sharing. Gelvandale is in the Northern Areas of PE, apparently it's not a bad area to stay though there are incidents of crime in and around the neighborhood or community of Gelvan, Helenvale on the hand is said to be notorious by media and people from around PE....
Well l had my fare share of Galvendale. Couple of years back we were at a youth function. We were rob inside the church gunshots were fired inside the church. That was my last day l set foot in Galvendale. 🙆🙆
Ok, so sorry to hear that, after my drive through tour there I thought that the media gives the place negative publicity yet it gave me the impression of peacefull, quiet community...
What you saw in this video is what I saw during my day visit there, not sure at night though.... The community gave me a sense of any normal safe community or neighborhood in SA, yet the pictures painted by media is opposite to what I saw and experienced. For now I can safely say it is safe to visit during the day like anywhere else around PE or South Africa.
They didnt show the top part of the Beverly Hills where famhealth and Anker is i guess the reason there so many successful alcohol business in gelvan is because the people really love drinking but otherwise they are 90 percent working class people
❤Gelvandale is where I grew up and still staying where I grew up. Everywhere is crime.Its the place to be.Yes we all have good and bad in all areas.I go out at night and Thank God I always pray protection over my life.We have wonderful community, friendly helpful, caring.❤❤❤❤
Wow Gelvan is indeed very beautiful suburb I think people over react little bid, tho we don't see aside gangsterism people here are well bring up but unfortunately drug is our main prb like in any other area but to be true I live here for 40 yrs and I will die Here we became more then nabours I think ecenomic pressure is the problem and it's all over cheers 🥂🥂
I used to stay in P.E for more than 12 years .I can tell you the dangerous areas out there. Booysen Park ,Kleinskool,Missionvalle,Katanga.All those are nothern areas including Shauder in Korsten.Missionvalle that's where I used to be that was my Hood.
My friend you where skipping all the evil places of helenvale,next time,go to fitchard str,stag str,martin str,bongo str,develroad,pinar str,small stanford,voicen str,stoep, then you may not make it back alive
I did a some parts of Helenvale, they were peaceful the 3 times I did them.... Totally opposite of narrative pushed around 🫴 ruclips.net/video/VZ5fcm7o-Do/видео.htmlsi=5bK70CwhsYv9-_he
Lol if you truly want to make a video or documentary then you first mustn't say Gelvandale the place where no one is safe because its not like that its only certain area's put a better front page or heading on
trust me on that one,maybe God guid you not to go to where its realy not to be trusted with your first driving around, cuz you where all-around the peace area's of the northerns

Go to the city center it's very dirty where the taxis operate

Well l had my fare share of Galvendale. Couple of years back we were at a youth function. We were rob inside the church gunshots were fired inside the church. That was my last day l set foot in Galvendale. 🙆🙆

You were actually driving in the wrong part of of the Northern Area's
My dad grew up in Helenvale in Voisen road
Helenvale video is one after this one.
Your thumbnail is manenberg. Not gelvandale. Go to Manenberg & hanover park rest of cape flats for such content.
@@BrunetteGOIWER I have also done videos of the places you mentioned, will be uploaded in due course. Thank you
Gelvandale stadium is in use they hous the easter soccer tournament annually and some other events
Theres area called katanga there,i went there by mistake...geez I had to drive with my doors locked
The video above this one is the Helenvale one.
how can we visit the place like that ?
What you saw in this video is what I saw during my day visit there, not sure at night though....

Behind chapman high school our cricket coach Russel Domingo comes from there

They didnt show the top part of the Beverly Hills where famhealth and Anker is i guess the reason there so many successful alcohol business in gelvan is because the people really love drinking but otherwise they are 90 percent working class people

Thank you for sharing, will also check out those mentioned neighborhoods....
Seems like Qheberha has become a more appropriate name than Port Elizabeth to describe this city.
True its just hard for me to pronounce hence I still refer to it as PE
Gd is a real good nice place I was there with my famirly
