[@sshipalana7667]

This is all good and all, but I think the gvt should also spend on developing the townships and rural areas, coz if they’re building cities more ppl will leave their villages just to go to the city and build shacks in this beautiful cities. And also, building cities also furthers inequality bcoz it is only the rich that can afford the city life and the poor will continue to be poor. Ever since I’ve started watching the Channel, SA is building around 11 new cities which is good, but I feel like they should also consider the development of rural areas and townships

[@LivinginSAtv]

Very valid points. I agree with you. I will reply to all those questions in the next videos. You guys have to be patient and stay toon. I am only one person here.😁👌

[@smastermind4423]

Actually the Rural Development department was formulated for that purpose. And the rural areas in KZN and Limpopo seems like are the only places utilizing the opportunities from this department especially KZN. I know personally agriculture is changing lot of rurals in KZN. You would think they are building estates with the construction happening there.

[@nowelaZA]

As a passionate Durbanite, this makes me so excited! Thanks for such great content that tells a great story about our country.

[@Joey-nh4wy]

David I really enjoy watching your channel, it gives me hope for the future😭😭 Thanks man

[@bonganimiya1310]

Well. Durban used to be the cleanest city in Africa and South Africa not long ago.......

[@nazirjones3608]

Yeah,LivinginSatv,We gotta strengthen our economy in South Africa first and then help our needy ones with the money,Develop a lot faster and open up many many businesses.

[@LivinginSAtv]

Thanks for your comment. It will happen. Things will happen at the right time.

[@Mankind0112]

Thanks 👍 so much David 😊. No littering, is better we load papers in our pockets, and off-load in the right place #GoodCitizens

Pleasure Kind. More positive stuff is coming. Just want you guys to change your mindset about SA.

Yes, mindset first, and teach younger ones. I work in one of the best building in Rosebank. #REDEFINE Property

Love Durbs♥️🇿🇦, Just watching this gives me goosebumps man that how much I love this city and it been sad over the past few years seeing it being neglected from major developments But now we sure talking over🤗... Although Cleanness will be our downfall☹️ its so sad seeing people just throw stuff on the floor in CBD and when you ask them they would tell you its already dirty as if they ain't making it worse..I sometimes feel like we should just Ban plastics But overall I'm hopeful my generation will be the change the city needs to be atleast the Cleanest City in Africa😌

[@christopherwalker5017]

Hey great video , I know you are super busy but I thought I might as well tell you , I was recently in Pretoria with my family and we ate at a lovely restaurant in Hatfield Square , I noticed how developed and clean the area was , Its probably because of all the new student accommodation that is being built but yoh I can tell you that , that project makes Pretoria look like New York , I mean it was so clean , so developed , I actually took a few pictures I was that impressed

[@LivinginSAtv]

Hey CW. Great stuff. Please send me all that to my email including photos. [e-mail] Always share. 💪😁

[@lashame1]

Pretoria is a nice city. I like it a lot.

[@cboh9530]

Fantastic 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💕💕💕 couldn't agree with you more, campaigns to keep our environment clean is important. Coming to Durban developments I like that they don't exclude nature in their designs it just blends in so well, like there was nothing taken from nature💗 spectacular..

[@LivinginSAtv]

Correct Siboh. What do you think about the last project of the video.

[@nelsonsibiya9204]

sandton has rivals all over South Africa now ........lovely

Not yet other provinces are still sleeping according to me and they are pumping the minerals

[@fullmetaltheorist]

That's good because every province now will have its own Johannesburg and Sandton.

[@Joey-nh4wy]

Not really I'm South African you should look at Rwanda saan

[@LivinginSAtv]

@@Joey-nh4wyCorrect. I am well aware of Rwanda 🙂 and is not what it seems. Paul Kagame in order to keep Rwanda in a good way has a "dictatorship" in the country. Take civil liberties away from people is not a good policy. We are still the most progressive country in Africa in many fronts.

Being from Cape Town I’ve visited Durban a few times and I have to say I was disappointed with the beachfront on my last visit 2017. It’s exciting developments and I believe Durban has so much potential. The weather is tropical and a good holiday destination. I fully support the upgrade 😎

[@lashame1]

The beach front area is the most looked after treasure by the city of Durban. I am no spokesperson for them but pools have not been functional for some time but the place has made tremendous progress since the late 90s when tourists complained about crime. Ushaka Marine, Promenade extension, Point Waterfront, Suncoast have since been developed. The place is being upgraded with Point Waterfront being clearly visible with a new sea cruise deck. Maybe you were there while they were extending the promenade from the harbour entry point to Umgeni river mouth.

[@sompisiphinda1417]

Wow Dave. This makes me wanna invest in Durban. Thank you for sharing.

As much as I'm proud of being Black, this is one thing I really love and admire about White people. They are really organized and know how to develop their stuff. They really know how to beautify areas. They know how to also support each other. I think it's high time Black people gotta strongly and attentively learn from them. We honestly have a lot to learn as much as they learn from our style, music genres, e.t.c.. We gotta learn from each other if we wanna rise.

This is nonsense the city is in financial trouble and almost broke. I have been to the city center of Durban today the decay. This is a huge flight of fancy. This will not happen . The BRT system is years behind and over budget. This is so far and not viable. I hope I am proved wrong.

@@ericcastle7296 With polices like EWC there has been major capital flight from the country. At present the municipality has less than 27 days worth of finance to keep running. Like I said a flight of fancy till major reforms do happen. And like I said I hope I am proven wrong

The developments are already happening bro. I've been to some of them.Most of the investments are private entities so they will contribute big time towards rates which will contribute to the profitability of the city council.

[@vernonnayiager782]

@@moinpatel9164 Except Umhlanga Arch which of the development are up and being developed? The Radisson also. BUT These are small compared to the vision of new city. The Radisson and Pearls the Vivian ready Development is quite behind remember it was started 2016. What I am talking is the big stuff which are guy government. The BRT which the city has no money for busses or to finish? The Cornobia new Town Center? It's no where all development is small warehouse and offices. Certainly no new Town Center The Upgrade of Durban CBD? Areotroplis is that happening. I been to Dube Trade port this is certainly not happening? The Dig out Port? The new Town Development in Umhlanga I will give you is coming to pass but because Tongaat sold to Baldwin due to cash flow and that is not a tenth of the presentation. Look at this video again and be honest the government stuff are not happening and that is the biggest change.
