Stayin' Alive in Joburg 6/6

[ClearSmashDrop]

Those searches seemed to be totally without cause and very obstrusive. Pretty disturbing to see from an American point of view. I noticed there was an Asian lady too. I know there are some Asians in SA but don't know much about why they are there are what they do. Did they grow up there, come for business, etc?

[nibbler032]

really good film, i walk in joburg all the time i can tel you straight that your more likley to be mugged in london , exept the media does not report what really happens, last night there were at least 2 murdersin london but you wont see it on the news, i wonder why!!! south africa and the africans are awsome , i love jo burg

[JohnRhysMusician]

I am not sure what the point of this film was.

Who was the North American guy with FIFA?

[andp1e]

I am more confused now than before I started watching. 

[TheHadiqasmieh]

this was based on District Nine and what does aliens have to do with incapability of ruling their nation with an iron fist.

[oopshilarious35]

after all they are not wearing any badges to identify themselves as a Organization. how you expect respect from the commuters

[oopshilarious35]

it seems like Blacks behave the same way in many nations....We are too rough with our own people...Whites oppressed us so long until we became that way. The oppressed becomes the the oppressor...thats a fact

[brian8793]

Go to any black neighborhood in America to see how black people run things. They run everything into the ground.

As a whole, they have no unity. They will sell each other out for a box of cracker jacks. Just look at how many of the strongest black men and women were sold to white people for slavery. This has gone on in Africa since THE BEGINNING OF TIME, whites are just the most recent customers.

I'm not a racist by any means, but I'm sick of the bullshit. TRUTH IS TRUTH.

[rssell]

GREAT IDEA. Entrusting the law to a bunch of uncivilized morons.

And who the f** k is that American asshole? Who is he?

[Rico8458]

that crap would be illegal in U.S.A.

[splutonium]

Keep some perspective. This documentary is based on a very small part of a city, in no way does it even represent Joburg not to mention South Africa. I have lived in South Africa for over 30 years and never been to these types of place. What reason would I have to ?

[juanmaperez92]

I'm not a racist or anything but it seems to me that SA was better during apartheid.

[321styles]

@juanmaperez92 i lived in sa all my life and all my relatives which lived during apartheid all say the same thing. although they were separated they had a better life yes non whites didnt have all the opportunity but they had money, housing, schooling. they were never afraid like they are know and according to them they drove bmw's and lived good lives.

[MrDubnick]

Until you have lived in South Africa you have no idea as to what goes on. The country is going one way DOWN.I left three years ago after a really bad car jacking and now live in New Zealand.Why do people think the World Cup will sort out the countries problems that's up to the ANC.

[politburo]

South Africa is a a WONDERFUL country, I'm American and I've been there three times now for business ventures in Joburg. Don't let the pro-apartheid racists commenting here bring you down. Its a great place with great people.

[akamola11]

I can't believe how many pro-apartheid racists there are on this thread. If you call yourselves decent human beings, then you are fucking delusional !!!!

[WarC0re]

@akamola11 Totally agree with you.

[321styles]

@akamola11 Alot of us are not pro apartheid but are rather implying that the country was run better.

[akamola11]

Sure, since white people got a better education and better resources than black people, they were well trained to rule and administrate. Thats just logic and fact.

[korahaplayas]

i just watched 6 videos on the breakdown of a nation, completely uncivilized with all the infrastructure rotting. a completely lawless crime ridden country

[evkmf]

I just wonder why do people allow someone without special training conduct searches and act like "representatives" of the...I don't even know what. The goverment? -

And if this is not a scam, these people , these volunteers are not showing (in my view) any professionalism, they act like they are at the amusement park.

Just wondering, what is/was going on there.

[Bridgesan000]

The world cup will be a sucsess, no problems the problem will be after the world cup wen the people see that no change have come. Just like the disipointment and no change after 1994 they will be disipointed again to see one single event will not change lives. "If you want change you will have to work for it" Pay your tax, maybe they you will see change, or some change left in your pocket!

[Soriehlam]

Sadl portrait of a once-prosperous country, shamefully sliding at the 3-world swamp.

And things'll get worse. Malema'll be the SA black Hitler, keep my words.

[Soriehlam]

@Soriehlam Agreeding or not, Apartheid have made SA's richness and prosperity. Without it, the country would be only another Sierra Leoa.

[MrRedFredSaid]

I wouldn't have a problem with being searched by those people as long as I knew they were volunteers. By the way, they're quite brave, especially the women. They're just trying to make a positive change for their own city. Good for them! (Because I know I sure as hell wouldn't be willing to do i t.)

[LANMANET]

Where does a citizen's patrol get the right to randomly search vehicles and pedestrians without probable cause?

[jayo2k]

isn't crime fighting a probable cause...?

SA need more citizen like them because they are doing the right thing

[umilmi81]

That's what happens when you don't have a Constitution.

[saadmanh]

whats this search bullshit without warrants and cause.

[111Trademark111]

@saadmanh Warrants and cause? This is not America you knob jockey

[omfg4000]

What fucking right do they have to stop ordinary citizens? This ain't only happening in Africa, it's happening in America and Europe to. Unlawfull searches.

[HunterZolomon]

Watched all 6 clips, unbeleivable. They seem completely incapable of running a civilized nation. Gonna be real interesting to see what happens during the World Cup this year, I hope some good comes out of it.

[Xyraxor]

My conclusion after watching this documentary: Johannesburg is turning into something taken out of a post-apocalypse zombie movie or something. It's horrible.

[FreeDogdylan]

I have no sympathy for the negroes and I have no sympathy for the whites in Europe. They let their own lands be destroy by non-white immigration. It sad that apartheid was better then now. But its the truth. White rule are superior and best for all.

[larnellefynn]

You have watched this whole video why?

[Bigtruck2007]

jamminn

[malcinblue]

this place is a living hell. the world cup will not benefit these people - FIFA are totally out of touch.

[nickyFS9]

However Hendo1979 how about going back to ur country and help develop, or give back something,to that country u once loved!,i know ur answer hopefully this time u won't sit on the sidelines..........

[nickyFS9]

Hendo1974 i've been following ur comments ,and u appear to like ur coutry if not u wouldn't be watching these vids

[nickyFS9]

@one point of time south africans, both minorties and majoritieswill have to stop making excuses and sarcastic comments and get to work. I'm quite appalled that some people out there would resort to APARTHEID, such a shame! ,coming a south African!!!

[larnellefynn]

YES! Somebody who knows what they are talking about. I agree 100% we are the people the fault and responsibility lies with us.

[nickyFS9]

from an african POV i sell very saddened by this but guess what it's easy to share blame around and point the finger,my comment to south african staying abroad,u are not helping in anyway ,coz it's your country unless........u probrably got double nationalities somewere else and u feel it gives u some kind of immunity to make comments ,again i'm not south african,

[LDcruz]

unfortunately from what i've read, the ANC south africa is very oppressive to the whites. blacks have made it very unliveable with threats of violence and racial targeting of whites.

for reference search through google "south africa night of long knives"

this is a planned genocide of south african whites after the death of mandela. what possibility started as a rumour is now looking to be a reality since it has become widely known.

to wrap it up, would you really expect them to return?

[akamola11]

Kindly take your stupid conspiracy theories and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS !!!!

[WarC0re]

@LDcruz Wow, aren't you the pessimist?

[Hendo1974]

That makes 2 of us, I heard that Joburg has gone to hell but never thought it was going down so fast! In the 1970's and 1980's it use to be much better, yes there was problems, like any other place but not as bad as this, unfortunately, Apartheid was the lesser EVIL, now it is just getting worse! Another BANANA REPUBLIC! Such a Waste!

[izzymohh]

as a south african living abroad i find this documentary hard to watch but also very informative. i suddenly feel sad and sorry for the people in these bleak places.
