Johannesburg - South Africa

[MegaSwissWatch]

that God i don't live in johannesburg anymore

[Princesskatt2]

I just got back from Johannesburg, it's nothing like this!! it's very beautiful and safe! plus everyone was very nice!

[joshebizonline]

@Princesskatt2 well u r luck to come back alive.....

[fcarabat]

africa, the last continent I would ever even think of visiting. I doni't know how people can live there.

[WarriorVDV]

my God, what's happening there?

[Shukria123]

Wherever blacks go, trouble goes with them.

[imthequeendamnit]

@Shukria123 thats so racist

[Marmalade000000]

what happened there?

[jazminedwards]

my boyfriends from here...should i be worried??

[juanlmesl]

such a nice city and look what happen this country is rutting.

[springbokbullietjie]

our country was so beautiful, safe, and 1st world nation, before it was taken over by crooks now its 3rd world and the most violent country in the world.

[buildingabetterSA]

@springbokbullietjie "beautiful, safe and 1st world nation"??????? I suspect dementia. SA was beautiful, safe and 1st world for the white minority, not South Africa's real population. Clearly the name "sprinbokbullietjie", when associated with this comment, is an indication of Afrikaaner melodrama - there is no place for rubbish like this. SA is currently NOT the most violent in the world. Your facts are skewed. And no, I'm not a black liberal, I'm a white realist.

South Afric

[springbokbullietjie]

@buildingabetterSA ehm ok well tell me this, which was better, old south africa or new south africa with its shocking statistics. whats wrong with springbokbullietjie, im a proud afrikaner all the way. boer maak n plan. thats being realistic. you can just bugger off if you dont care about your own people. your a jingo

[springbokbullietjie]

@buildingabetterSA ok buddy go to facebook search boere krisis group look at the pics and come back to me. welcome to reality you supposed realist.

[EBHERNANDEZ7]

so how did they handle the World cup there with tourist flocking the streets day and night. The world cup sure brought in some income to SA. I hope they do good with that money.

[WizardKing78]

Wasn't it obvious that SA was going to descend into anarchy once it was handed over to the blacks? I mean really.

[buildingabetterSA]

@WizardKing78 You should check this guy's profile! He's clearly an annihilist and a pessimist. SO MANY of your comments are posted on video walls on which you comment on how blacks can't do this, blacks can't do that.... Dude, get with the programme. There's no space for people like you in the world. You're sitting in your comfortable chair in the UK commenting on the US and South Africa etc... erm, that's kind of idiotic! NOT COOL!

[WizardKing78]

@buildingabetterSA Thanks for taking the time to read my comments :)

Now, back to my comfortable chair...

[Mattothee]

no doubt a rubber bullet bounced off the tar and hit her leg

[AAARONSD]

its those fucking prawns escaping district 9

[belefor]

It's like a scary movie... :(

[arielyom]

POOR JOZI!!!!



[jamialonnes]

just have more police and millitary so all wil be ok

[marzdude]

SA will NEVER become a 1st world country

[ilikethewordrandom]

People people! If you're from South Africa and are pulling it down fair enough but we know Johannesburg is a beautiful place and all of South Africa. The fact that we're seeing this in Africa on a daily basis on the news or other media makes us think that's all there is! This is the kinda stuff that happens in New York or Nottingham but no one pays attention. You need to stop being discriminative to South Africa just because it's in Africa were we all hear about starvation and violence!

[patriargentina92]

@ilikethewordrandom look i've been there and it's a shit i don't know how people live i got robbed in five minutes on my first day and it was in cape town that in theory is not so bad in terms of security, and i say this comming from a country wich is not perfect at all (argentina) so i know what i'm talking about, SA is terrible.

[1993gandy]

@patriargentina92 i have lived there and i have never been robbed none of my family has been robbed none of my friends has been robbed and south africa is one of the most beautiful counties in the world its just dicks that cause things like this to happen and its just like the USA (from what i have heard anyway i have never been to the USA)

[patriargentina92]

@1993gandy dude it's the country with the highest number of murders in the world, 10000 every year, so 27 every day, more than one every hour. i think you are a little bit wrong

[1993gandy]

@patriargentina92 and have you been there

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy sorry you did say you been there and just because you got robbed there doesnt mean that you wont get robbed if you go to london LA or new york

[patriargentina92]

@1993gandy yeah it's true it could happend anywhere but the fact is that there is a big difference between the level of violence at london and the level of violence in SA, it's not usual beeing killed in europe when you get robbed, and also crime is much more usual in SA.

[1993gandy]

@patriargentina92 yeah but about 90% of murders are gang related so if you go there again and join a gang then you have a 50-80% chance of getting murdered if i can compare joburg to cities around the world then i would say LA (for the gang violets london for the amount of gangs [london does have a surprising amount of gangs] and NY for robberies) and also all the good cities around the world as well such as las vegas paris and the good part of LA

[tinaika02]

@patriargentina92 Hey I don't wanna burst in the conversation , but I'm from the United States and I've been living in joburg for now 3 years. We've already been attacked in front of our house with guns put on our heads but that was simply because we'd just moved there and my dad had a very valuable rolex on and thats what they wanted. In time you just learn to be carefull and cautious at all time and mostly be aware. Otherwise it truly is the most beautiful country in the world! (:

[ufofan1980]

@tinaika02 Rules for Living in Joburg:

1. If your rich, hide your wealth, or be ready to protect it.

2. While driving your fancy SUV through the ghetto, keep the doors locked and the windows closed. Don't let the old guy who looks like a black Santa Claus wash your windows.

3.If your a visiting tourist, walk, talk, and act like a local, or prepare to have your throat slit by angry robbers.

4. The Most Important: Always carry a LOADED GUN.

I followed these rules and have never had a problem.

[buildingabetterSA]

@ufofan1980 Oh my gosh!!!!! The melodrama.... it's actually heinous. No, Joburg is not as safe as it should be. Yes, there are instances of violence that are absolutely revolting. However, blatant stupidity, like the kind YOU have exhibited here, just shows how uninformed and one-sided people are. I have myself been affected by crime in Johannesburg, but what you have written here is utter rubbish. Don't quit your day job, chum.

[AnonymousElektron]

@tinaika02 dude, are you joking?

You had a fucking gun pointed at your head?

And you're still living there?

All they wanted was your watch???

Why would you choose to live there?

[tinaika02]

@AnonymousElektron Yeah we had to live there because of my dads job . It was terrifying but when we think about it we kinda did stuff for it to happen too I guess ( like we knew it was a dangerous country so my dad shouldn't have been wearing it )

But then again people live there their whole life and nothing ever happens to them :S

But it's such an amazing country seriously i love it to death :)

[ilikethewordrandom]

@1993gandy thank you for supporting my point ! xD

[ilikethewordrandom]

@patriargentina92 fair enough you saying your opinion BUT you can not judge a place you have not lived in long enough or gotten to know cuz , i love Africa because it's home and i think argentina looks great so don't bring yourself down and YOUR country ...

[patriargentina92]

@ilikethewordrandom i don't want to offend you and i don't hate africa i just see the stats.. 10000 murders per year it's insane

[ilikethewordrandom]

@patriargentina92 i know it is i'm just basically saying it might be in the stats and it might be true in SOME cases but you can't just believe that cuz in it's own way you're giving Africa a certain stereotype that isn't always true ... :/ :)

[smeggerss]

@ilikethewordrandom  shut up you plank it is the murder capital of the world

[dimflamingo]

I think I'll stick with Cape Town.

[babeliciouse]

Oh my, this is frightening from Australia! Hope this beautiful country is mended soon.

[30secondstomarscam]

i thought i saw a prawn for a second...

[tparks5961]

This is what Mandela did, wake up world

[Tandz83]

@tparks5961 You are so smart I have to hand it to you. WELL DONE!

[FreedomBoer777]

[hawkwind2002]

[TKHFTA]

[bontle10111]

it still is a nice place this is just underneath

[ross19000]

what was that all about?

[TheAfrikaanerMP]

Although I don't do a whole lot of patroles down on the inner city, I do know the some parts that were clean and prosperous ten years ago are absolute shitholes now. But the camerca crew certainly does seem to only be focusing on the bad areas.

[lmankj]

What dump it's become. As a kid I would go into the city with my mom to go shopping at the nice stores, eat at the Carlton Center....those places are long gone, so sad.

[TimeGap79]

Damn how I love my home city... Its so... 3rd world!!!! And I just LOVE our government!!! THey Like it 3rd world too! Best is, they will stop at nothing to KEEP IT LIKE THIS!!! GO ANC!!! You are doing a Great job doing FUCKALL!!! W00t!@!! Cant wait to vote ANC again!!! whoo hoo!!!4 more years of stupidity running our "Nation"

[ROFLFTW88]

@TimeGap79

Lol I must agree with you, ANC is really going downhill. Especially with president Zuma. I want to smack that guy so bad, he is the worst excuse for a president ever.

[StarsMarsRadio]

[MrShnazer]

[gaelgeseomra]

Its suposed to be one dam dangerous place to be for a white boy with a bad haircut.

[Yudiahad]

Like if you were perfect yourself. God will be the judge of that.

[zomg7711]

You guys are idiots... africa near complete collapse, its may be in a terrible place, but we never think WHY they are so violent!

is it wrong to steal to feed a starving family?

Is it wrong to fight to survive!

You have never been in this situation before!

Instead of saying " Niggers cant control themselves. " think why they do so, and think of there situation.

[vertxxgg]

inmigrasie in jo-burg done bad to all..is Babelberg waiting for judgement day..irae deo gloria..

[relativity17]

[MarshallBMT1000]

[Yudiahad]
