Inside The Most Feared HOOD in Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦- ALEX (is it a gangster paradise?)

[@leslienorris1204]

I don't see anything so fearsome about that place I see no trash on the street no drug addicts I see nice clothes on the ppl and nice homes I love in the USA Johannesburg looks way better than here 👍🏿

[@Walk_Africa]

Thanks for watching 🤝

[@itayimutsau6204]

Oh but America is a war zone. You cant compare the 2

[@RoseMathuthu]

Lol

[@chux9615]

True bro. Ain't nothing to fear there. Now go to town in Jo'burg at night and try walk around like that.. or better yet how 'bout you try Wesbury or Reigerpark. No I take that back my friend. Don't do that.. nonetheless good content. Keep doing your thing bro. One love!

[@sowhat599]

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Looks can be deceiving.

[@cynthiar6917]

The neighborhood looks like the average in most parts of the world, certainly in the U.S. The area looks good. It looks like the people, despite their economic challenges, take pride in their neighborhood.

[@Walk_Africa]

Greetings 🤗 Good observations. U definitely correct. That's how I see it too.

[@sifisosimelane407]

i was there today travelling from Pretoria to sandton, lunch time i buy in ALEX its way cheaper do you reside in jhb?

[@kingpin-d1s]

I live in London UK, Alex is the first place I go to whenever I visit SA to buy my music. And I used to visit Joe's Butchery but I made sure by 5pm I am out.

[@Walk_Africa]

Always good Idea to be safe indoors after hours 🙂

[@jobesithole5590]

Nothing fearful about Alex. I was there a couple of hours ago to drop off a lady. People must refrain from misleading people about SA. Of course we have serious challenges such as crime like any other country.

[@Walk_Africa]

U right,it it's challenges but not as bad as said.👌

[@Wisparshik]

A good kasi but every township you won't be going around late at night

[@mzansistreets8027]

Thanks so much for taking us to Alex. Always wished to see it from your camera. Awesome footage.

[@Walk_Africa]

😊 Amazing. Thanks

[@GabrielHlongwane-p8s]

I'm a product of Alex born and raised, it's a nice township but you're not really in Alexandra from that area, you should've started from Pan Africa where Alexandra starts from 1st street going down to the last street 22nd Avenue and I'm from 21st Avenue, back in the 90's my 21st and 22nd Avenue where the most feared places

[@Walk_Africa]

Interesting. Would love to do those areas someday👌

[@tsheponcamane2018]

People of South Africa have this tendency of wanting to show their worst parts and then complain that people do not show the best parts of their country. This is still Alex, thanks @Walk_Africa for a positive review of that area.

[@rawamothoa9935]

…..”most feared” by who?

[@SiboMfeka]

One thing I love about our townships is that, one can park in the middle of the road and no one shows a middle finger

[@Walk_Africa]

😀😀neh

[@sphiwepolitedladla]

Because thez no boss in Alex like other town ships

[@nondumisongubane]

nice video thanks. i don't think Gomora is dangerous, but i think it is over crowded/populated. but it looks cool

[@Walk_Africa]

Thought so too..

[@juliamilford1979]

Well, you are a strong confident person, nobody will mess with you. That said everyone was minding their own business anyway! It seems most people can afford satellite TV, or have the good sense to form clubs and share the expense. A real pleasure to see such large areas in Alex transforming into ordinary suburbs like any other in the city. People are people, those that are prepared to put in the effort will always improve their lives, those that expect to have lif handed to them on a plate won't. It is the same the world over, not a SA problem. Many thanks.

[@Walk_Africa]

I strongly agree with you. Nothing comes easy without putting some work. Have a blessed afternoon 😊

[@claudenelson8489]

These are great videos and that's really great advice! Be confident and recognise your fellow human beings even if you're in a strange neighbourhood and your fellow human beings will recognise you too. Very few people are unstable to the extent that they go out of their way to look for trouble. Most often, even a 'tsotsi' just wants to be decently treated like a fellow human being

[@noeltarr8834]

Looks so scary with women,and little children walking around freely.

[@Walk_Africa]

Lol just a little but once u here u will just be fine

[@Sarah_M84]

I like this side of Alex, they always showing the bad side

[@williamwebbs1952]

Absolutely awesome vlog today 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

[@Walk_Africa]

Thanks man 👌

[@wayneferguson1567]

dude come visit cape Town etc:gugs langa nyanga lavis bonteheuwel Belhar Delft wesbank and MANY MORE....I double dare u..thx 4 upload

[@Walk_Africa]

Next time I visit CapeTown will definitely do it. Trust me🤞

[@kennedychanda9961]

You know what, in every country there are such kind of places and challenges here and there but it is not like he has put to steer fear in people' s lives. Most places in S .Africa are look nice,me I love South Africa and can be my second home apart from Zambia.

[@Walk_Africa]

Thanks 🙂

[@theomabunda87]

Nothing dangerous about Alex.every hood has its bad and good but doesn't mean it's dangerous.

[@Walk_Africa]

I believe u..

[@godisableify]

Thanks for the video and the amazing view, but my advice to you is that making this kind of video next time, especially in this kind of area, you can tell that it is not just like the other places you have must been to freely, and could tell at some point fear grab you, but you had not option but to keep walking and moving, and it is good to tell your viewer the reality, it is just about proving people wrong whether the place is feared or fearless, there are so many factor that are at stake here, time of the day, place to be specific within the neighborhood, are you a resident or not, are all factored in, so even if you are not attack or it might look innocent at certain part of the day, doesn't rule out the fact that it can be feared.

[@Walk_Africa]

Got U 👌

[@seripa15]

I am impressed by infrastructure and kudus to the Municipality for maintaining it. I live in India and use to think Alexander was bad.

[@Walk_Africa]

Glad you liked the video 🤝

[@euniceblake7254]

It's really beautiful but the part i fail to understand are the walls and houses that are built next to the road. I always wonder if the municipality approve of such.

[@Walk_Africa]

U right, but I think since Alex is an old location built under a certain plan that is an old plan I think thus why. Houses very close to the streets and smaller yards.

[@ttm828]

They are actually approved. The old and some plans are made that way to minimize the land of which l don't know why. Now even some urban areas the same applies.

[@uncletee1853]

I leave here and to tell you the truth there's no crime in my hood,it's the safest township in Mzansi ,as a community we deal with boys who try to commit crime

[@Walk_Africa]

That's interesting 👌

[@tshepoferguson6669]

every dangerous hood any where in the world is calm during the day ,lets see you try that after sunset

[@Walk_Africa]

Maybe someday. We will see.

[@Zwelibanzi-r7e]

That was the new area in Alex he didn't go into the wood. from PEN (amakuleni ) first 1 to 22 streets than you get the river than east bank west bank than the new part we just seen on this video called tsutsumani meaning runners Couse it was house's that was build for Athletic

[@Walk_Africa]

I did. Watch full video in Alex. I should say amazing Gomora Alex. Very vibrant in this neighborhood 👌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmSmoGB4jM-pqdksi=ZF2JDSKBKel-gf58

[@McArthurSekhwela]

This is the most beautiful Alexandra i have ever seen.

[@macmen007]

I saw no colonizing police, pulling people over, dragging them from their cars. I saw no wreckless activity. It appears Safer than NY, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans or Memphis.

[@Walk_Africa]

I believe it's true.. thanks for showing up..

[@Louise-o3d]

Just stumbled on your video I appreciate your enlighten ment. I just. want to ask .How do people in these areas get water. For Laundry and every day use❤❤

[@Walk_Africa]

Greetings 👋 thanks. There is water in these homes, they have water tapes in their homes and a sewerage system. I hope that answers Ur question 🙂

[@Louise-o3d]

Thanks . I am glad to see info .from locals . I imagine certain things. From media.reports.i can't believe I'm seeing .real every day life .Thanks again Im great full for You tube 🙏👍

[@Walk_Africa]

@@Louise-o3d u wellcome 🤝

[@LumkaMbane]

South African is more developed in all areas, the water is supplied by the municipality. There's proper water and sanitation in every household except in informal settlements where services provided are communal.

[@lechachemorake5211]

Alex used to be notorious but more civilized these days, gone are the days of the rolex gang

[@sweetsoundsentertainmentsa]

maybe is because im used to alex , i know where to go and where not go.. i think Diepsloot is the scary place ... Alex it has its own dangerous places

[@Walk_Africa]

We should do Diepsloot to find out🙂

[@Seedandcap]

Gomora dope hood, been visiting here since an early age, crime is normal like any other area.

[@GabrielHlongwane-p8s]

If you wanna be intimidated go where there's shacks, believe me when I say you wouldn't wanna come back, you're at a new development

[@Walk_Africa]

It's areas I would love to cover one day given the chance 🤝

[@talia7634]

I’ve been there and they are the nicest people ever. They are so accommodating, loving and they will share their last meal with you. They changed me as a person. I would go again

[@talia7634]

If you look at them and assume then that’s your lost. Crime is everywhere in the world. In UK here break ins and car stealing is pandemic

[@LauranceNkwinika]

I was born in Alexanda 65yts ago it was good but now im in Tzaneen Limpopo province I did enjoy the stay for many years ❤😂🎉😅😅

[@Walk_Africa]

God bless 🙂💪❤️

[@AntyRose]

can it be that dangerous if people walks around freely with their phones in their hands?

[@Walk_Africa]

No idea, this is what I also came to find out. So far I see no threat.

[@Swaggyfrxn83]

RULE NUMBER 1 people who never lived in south africa will be sacred to go around place becuz of what they here but thosse who lived in SA know it not even that scary or dangrouse it just like reading how to ride a bike you wont learn by reading but by exprensing how the bike works same as alex people who live there are not sacred companed to people who never lived the they just hear stroties and get sacred south africa is safe only depending on what you doing . alex is not dangrouse but social media is ...

[@Walk_Africa]

That's a hard one 😃

[@ThaboMohlabane]

I have been there but nothing bad happen about me every hood have his own general to control🎉

[@Walk_Africa]

That's a fact..

[@Sbuda.81]

This is just a small fraction of Alex, only around the Alex mall.

[@Walk_Africa]

There is another video in the channel that covers other sections. Couldn't do all sections in one video .

Next take us to streets of Limpopo

[@Walk_Africa]

Looking forward to that 😊

[@Walk_Africa]

😂this is not Alex? Are u sure about that. Many residents of Alex are in the comments,check it out..

[@LumkaMbane]

Please people I appeal to those of you content creators, stop miss informing viewers. Alex isn't that bad.

That's not even alex bro u walked piece of tsutsumani and riverside...make sure u provide proper infor nxt tym

[@Walk_Africa]

According to you tsutsumani and River side is not Alex. I did parts of Alex and it is still Alex. Anyway to put your argument to rest I did more than one video of Alex showing other locations of Alex. 👇👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmSmoGB4jM-pqdksi=bXCvMvycf06Noswo Next time when U eat bread don't say it's not bread because it's 2 slices. Bread is bread full of half 😊🥂

[@Walk_Africa]

@@johannessehanka781 what you don't realise is I was on the good side of Alex. Giving it stars. Shedding away what many negatively say about all these hoods. My channel is about scraping away the negativity of the so called feared or dangerous neighborhoods. Now here is a video of diepsloot the other area you mentioned 👇👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5eTaWSZp858sNEsi=_TO1ZIp4ZyvRqZA- I have been to many areas painted scary, and I only go there to prove that wrong. Alex, Diepsloot, Eldos, and some Kasi(neighborhoods) from Durban and CapeTown painted dangerous yet in reality they not. I have gone to do an amazing work on those Places. You go those areas with a bad intention then you in for it. Can't blame the locals for that right? Keep watching for more 😊🍻

[@samuelnkuna9357]

Most feared part is an exxageration. Maybe Eldos

[@Walk_Africa]

Yeah neh..

[@sowhat599]

Go there at night and see if it's true or not. That's probably when all the crime occurs.

[@Walk_Africa]

I believe nearly every place around the world has it's challenges arranging from crime to other mishaps. Night walk is not safe anywhere u go for the accept of a few countries I think.

[@mzansistreets8027]

I was there at night on 25 May and I felt so unsafe but the people I had gone to told me to relax because the Community Police Forum is very strong there. Well, I still didn't feel safe but nothing happened to me. I could even drive back home through the streets to find my way to the highway and I was safe.
