Gelvandale: The place where no one is safe and trust does not exist?

  • Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
  • Gelvandale is quite popular for its diverse community, with a significant portion of the population being of Indian and coloured descent.
    Unfortunately, it has also gained a reputation as one of the most dangerous suburbs in Port Elizabeth, and not without good reason. The area has struggled with a high crime rate for many years, with violent crime being the most prevalent.
    Gang-related activity is a significant issue in Gelvandale, with gangs responsible for a significant portion of the violence in the area. Residents often live in fear of being caught up in the crossfire of gang-related shootings and assaults.
    Furthermore, the socio-economic conditions in Gelvandale exacerbate the crime situation in the area. Poverty and unemployment are prevalent, which can lead to desperation and criminal behaviour among some residents.
    The lack of opportunities and a sense of hopelessness can make some individuals feel that they have no other choice but to turn to crime to survive.
    Moreover, the poor living conditions and inadequate infrastructure in the area make it easier for criminals to carry out their activities undetected.

    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.

    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

      @thegreatafrikanchannel  2 месяца назад

      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.

      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....
