  • Do you remember what streets and avenues your driver went through? Seems like an interesting setting....away from the opulent wealth in Sandton.

  • @bluesky123ify We were just driving around. I was with a couple of friends, one of whose work you can check out here at double u double u double u dot 5sm.co.za/bands_ajp.htm

    as he is an acclaimed jazz saxophonist, I'd just come from his house :-)

  • who is honking the horn

  • @bozirob It's the taxi drivers, they hoot to attract the attention of potential customers at the side of the road as they drive past them

  • I'm pretty disappointed that it seems to be impossible to post a vid on youtube these days without the comments getting hijacked by people on a mission to prove one race is superiour to another. Why can't people just comment on the video? The only one here who has is gberchenko, who didn't drive, but walked, when he went to Alex.

  • you need to have balls to walk in Alexandra at night.

  • You guys got guts driving through alexandra.Very dangerous!!!

  • @veld66 Whats that supposed to mean? 

  • @veld66 Are you South African or Irelish by birth? I do hope SA is improving in public safety!

  • @RSAinUK Boers accent......

  • @bozirob taxi drivers

  • Thank you for a quick tour of my old neighbourhood. I miss it like crazy...

    p.s. I'm a white woman, I walked everywhere in Alex and never had the slightest problem.

  • @RSAinUK I walked through Hillbrow several times, nothing happened, though I did get mugged once down the street in Joubert Park.

  • @gberchenko you are either a very brave man or a very stupid and naive man to do that lol. not many white guys would dare drive through, let alone walk. Next up for you its Hillbrow! lol

  • @Edubbplate

    Well fancy that!
