REAL STREETS DOWNTOWN JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA !!!

[@ToxxicMafia]

8:20 no, the locals shop mostly in shopping malls that are scattered all over Johannesburg suburbs and townships. downtown Joburg is run down and no longer our go to place, it is more popular with people who come from the rest of Africa and the more poorer locals.

[@mkdempisi]

So you want to say people on those streets are not South African? 😅😅😅 Bathong niyasiphika ngoku because sipoor?

[@ToxxicMafia]

@@mkdempisi lol, sorry for the not so sexy truth. 😊.I just don't want people having an impression that white people shop in Sandton and we shop at Carlton Centre or Small Street.

[@brot6238]

@@mkdempisi I suggest you go to Joburg CBD tomorrow if you are anywhere in this part of the country. 80% of the people there are not South Africans and like TM rightly said the remainder are the very poor. I've seen your comments on this channel. Wanting "African solidarity" doesn't change the reality of the situation in this location. No need to be allergic to, or defensive about facts. And the fact is there is a migration issue.

[@mkdempisi]

@@brot6238 nah bro I am also against porous borders they are not good for any country l, as that is bad for budget aimed for lesser population but sanuxoka nithi 80 percent of CBD are foreigners, say businesses like clothing shops, faniture shops, acatually almost ever business except taxi but tekani uxoka and tekani ukusiphika bethuna, just because we don't afford KZbin to defend ourselves and even stats don't agree with this bullshit you claiming, we poor but we still south africans yes there are a lot of foreigners in the CBD and who reside there but on the video or people who shop there are South Africans, sanusiqhela nithi singama foreigners

I love this! When we talk about Joburg CBD this is what we are talking about. Not the overhyped and overmarketed Braamfontein and Maboneng. For anyone who has lived in Jhb will know that these areas are the most important.

Johannesburg S A, looking at those shoppers having a good time, i have not see much Europeans there shopping like Cape Town......

[@brot6238]

lol That's because that part of Johannesburg is Lagos and Kinshasa all rolled into one. You're not bound to find many Europeans. (For that matter, most locals don't set foot there either. You would really have to be at the bottom of the economic ladder if you're local. Otherwise it's mainly migrants from the rest of the continent.)

[@theturbo1958]

[@whatsyouropiniononthis1173]

@@theturbo1958 White people do not go to Johannesburg downtown they say its very dangerous for them, and Some black people also don't go. There are many people in Johannesburg who never been to downtown. Lagos is in Nigeria. Johannesburg used to be a world class city but now its facing urban decay

[@theturbo1958]

@@whatsyouropiniononthis1173 So in other words you are implying that Black S A mashing up their own city, i wonder why is that, can you explain thanks.....

[@brot6238]

@@theturbo1958 Yes Lagos is Nigeria and Kinshasa is the capital of the Congo. Lagos & Kinshasa are largely informal in terms of business and infrastructure. The part of Joburg in the video used to be the main financial district decades ago, but has been largely left to immigrant businesses & residents from the entirety of the African continent and south East Asia. That's why he intuitively feels at 4:28 that the place is well built, but feels disorganized. That would be because it has been largely abandoned by local business for decades. *In fact a lot of the tall buildings are completely empty inside.* And the immigrant businesses on the streets are essentially emulating patterns of disorganization of "Lagos and Kinshasa". Johannesburg has multiple business areas spread out across a vast area in different neighbourhoods. It's one of the reasons it has so many malls and business parks. So the locals don't have to go to the old City Center any longer to shop. It hasn't fulfilled that function for decades.

[@neilboulton9813]

@sbanda1 I would not use negative term takeover but New York, London and Paris are far more diverse than Joburg in terms of people from all over the world living there in relative harmony.

[@sbanda1909]

@@neilboulton9813 yes the wording is perhaps not correct but the cities that you have mentioned are richer than joburg which has housing backlogs and surrounded by informal settlements. So what I'm trying to say is what many people characterize as xenophobia is actually a battle for scarce resources between poor locals and poor foreigners,most of whom are illegal
