Is that the big Garlick's store at 1:50?

I love the old SOUTH AFRICA we were all safe to go out day or night

Hope you have a great day mate

Yes and people respect one onather

Truth be told, us black South Africans can’t manage anything, let alone build😭😭😭

Everything was better when colonialism was in place

Everything so clean and orderly people are well dressed and walking on the sidewalk now they just wander in the street crossing whenever they want causing hazards to oncoming traffic now there’s trash all over the streets potholes, graffiti all over the buildings empty offices because companies keep going out of business because of the horrifying economic situation I wonder what happened 32 years ago 🤫

Such a beautiful place ❤ and then the demon 😈 mand ela arrived to crush all the beauty

White People built a beautiful civilization ❤

What about the human right?

I went overseas on holiday in 1971 (saved up myself - I was 22) and I still have that old passport. 2 Rand to the British £ and 75 South African cents bought 1 US $!!!

You should wait for a bus during the day in Birmingham centre (England) and you'd think you were in central Johannesburg.....

The blacks have now had approx.30plus years to prove what they're made of and what have they done? Turned a prosperous and clean country into a slum.There ARE some blacks who wish for the old days.They had jobs,were fed and educated AND had roofs over their heads ...

My, my, just look how clean it is everywhere! What happened in the mean time? Oh yeah, the New South Africa happened! Those were the clean, save, disciplined and horror days of apartheid!

Now its in your hands 😅😅😅

Ai...the good old days,only to be destroyed by clowns!!😢

This makes me very sad

Cool soundtrack!

Make South Africa Great Again!

We had trains!!!!! And train stations were safe. And electricity....so much that we could afford to give away to neighbouring countries😮

I lived here and was preparing to leave SA...I eventually got out(escaped lol) in 1984...I left just in time, before the ROT lol

Change name to disgraceful stinking hole

Glad i grew up in 70s experienced apartheid lived and worked under it lived under anc still hate it

First comment in 7 years

Beautiful! The streets were clean, the rand stronger than the dollar, and there were trains too!!!

Wow,the black population looked a lot happier back then,carefree and not at all stressed.I wonder why that was...oh wait!

What a pleasure it was to go to Cape Town from the suburbs, by bus. It was safe, it was clean and people treated each other with respect. It can be like that again. ❤

They forgot to show you what they were hiding in their backyard!!!

I loved the original sound/music track you had on this video. It was awesome and went right with the video exactly. Can't you please try posting it again like that. Keep this one up, but post the original version too. Use a different title pic, but bring back the old sound track....please!

The municipalities today are degraded... as much or more than in those days. And even under the NP government (yes, apartheid should not have existed), housing and employment conditions were still far... but far superior to those of socialist neighbors, such as Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Swaziland... These are very different realities, socio-economic and geographical conditions... not to mention the very different historical context. And not just South Africa, Namibia should also not follow the ruinous path that Rhodesia was led on (with a lot of support from the UN and London, remember). This does not mean the return of a government as it was until 1994.... but it is still possible to fight for a better future, the country is still young and not as big (and heavy) as Brazil or Mexico, for example. Yes, it can improve. It's not easy... but it's not impossible either.

Not too many places where the 70s look way more advanced than the current country today

Oh, what a horrible place...well-dressed blacks and whites coexisting peacefully

Well it definitely was run better because of a Government that endorsed White Privilege and a Government that was brutal to people of Colour so it Controlled with an iron fist, unfortunately for the Government of Today that brought Liberation it came with an influx of moral decay and corruption, my opinion is Both the Apartheid Government and the Liberation Movements are to blame for what South Africa is Today, nobody will ever forget what horrors went on under that Brutal System and nobody will also never forget how the Liberators sold our Country to the Whole World and allowed everyone to Shit on us.

The top of the Carlton, great nights dancing the night away, after a world class meal at the three ships restaurant in the Carlton Hotel…

You are not born in Africa, Africa is born in you…..

The good old days when it was safe to walk the streets the place was neat and tidy,how the ANC has destroyed our beautiful country it's time for new leadership to restore our beautiful country back to her old self.

Wish South Africa was still like that

First thing i noticed is no f....taxis and just look at how the poor oppressed blacks are dresaed. All beautiful in their suits with hats walking next to whites in the city center and not been assulted and trampled on like the overseas media love to lie about.

To think we once had fully functional train and bus services.

Historic. Depressing to see the racists appearing wanting the days when black people had citizenship removed, forced to live in abject poverty whilst still being heavily taxed to fund an evil, fundamentalist majority to live off.

What a beauty ❤

Johannesburg is a financial city in South Africa. She was beautiful, peaceful, of all races. The blacks took over, destroyed everything, today a city full of garbage, there are only bandits, without people, everything is closed, a misery. This happened in Angola--Mozambique--Rhodesia etc. A black man in power enslaves his brother more than a white man---that's what they wanted, so suffer----but don't come up with the old story that it's the white man's fault, it's your fault alone. This is your Africa. -----CONGRATULATIONS. LOL

There is just as much racism now only reversed.

yes people, the politicians on all sides, and the oligarchs really sold us out.

Joburg during those days was so clean and safe comapred to what it is today.

The black people do not look oppressed, many are well dressed & walk free & with purpose.

The Sentech Tower was built in 1961.Its old and needs an upgrade too.

Oh and Indians 😅

Yeah.... Whitees only 😫 remember too, that things dont stay the same. Us non-whitees really endured the raciam of them days.... Sadly, its worse in SA now. Never heard of load shedding then. 😮
