SOUTH AFRICA : IS YEOVILLE A DANGEROUS PLACE ?

[@bonfacewachira3297]

Shocked to hear Zimbabwe people have bad reputation in SA in Kenya we know Zimbabwe people as nice

[@OnicaMakwakwa]

There’s a bit of generalization on both ends but I do wish South Africa could get more of the nice ones because the few we’ve experienced are decent people.

[@lizcilliers]

@@OnicaMakwakwa I agree with you. We have had dealings with Uber drivers from Zimbabwe, and they are always polite and friendly. I think that there is good and bad in every nation on earth. It is more an individual situation. As an Afrikaner, it hurts when people have the opinion that all people with an Afrikaans background are racist.

They hate us because we take any job with any amount. We do that not because we like but because of the situation back home

I grew up in Yeoville and Bellevue in the late 80s'-mid 90's.The area was amazing with public swimming pool, clean market and nice apartments. It was multi cultural and Rocky Street was trending with bars and night clubs. I drove pass the area in 2022 after over 20 years and I don't know what they have done to the place. I could swear I was in a foreign country, the place is unrecognisable.

We lived in Hillbrow in the 90's and it was fine. My hubby worked in Yeoville, and we shopped there quite often. As you say, the swimming pool was a great place, and the town was clean. It has changed so much, sadly so.

[@nomxhosapekani7966]

I bought my first flat there in the early 90s and sold it at a heart in the early 2000s. I was last in Yeoville in 2014, and my friend was robbed of her handbag while I popped into Nando's, she was sitting in the car when a bypasser told her we had a flat, then opened the other door took her bag, and ran, while she was bending to look a the tyre.

I wish it could reach all corners of the world so that people on social media can see it. All the interviewed people in this clip are just trying to survive, but unfortunately, among them, there are some rotten apples, which is why South Africans are crying 24/7 about foreigners . this clip exposes how poorly African leaders are managing their countries, leading many to flee their homelands in search of greener pastures here.

Welcome to Mzansi 🇿🇦 brother Zack 🇿🇦✅🙏

[@ape72patch1]

This was my neighbourhood for years . In the bad old days this neighbourhood was the best place to have fun and was considered a grey area where different people could mix without too many problems.. I lived in Yeoville after Apartheid as well when all the northern people started coming in, it was fun and interesting to meet people from all over Africa. At this time the majority of low level but violent crime was done by South Africans . Drugs grew exponentially brought in by Nigerians , prior to this we never had Heroin or Crack . The main reason for crime in South Africa is money ,people go there for money …. The cops do indeed do crime , in hand with the gangsters… unfortunately you only walk down one road in the video. There is a whole neighbourhood but from what I can see the whole place has disintegrated and the blame lies on multiple factors . However I think no matter who you are Yeoville has given people a home and place to be. Good memories 😊

[@rainbowtrust6347]

Yeoville used to be an excellent decent suburb before Nigerians took it over and change it into Nigeria. Now is taken over by west Africans and east Africans central Africans, Northern Africans , and sadac region, plus Pakistanis and other abroad poor countries. SACANS who know Yeoville before 30years of our democracy, will have heartache to see Yeoville like this. It is really painful to see our country becoming so low and very scary, with all kinds of tribes all in one place. It's really not safe for SA nation and God protect SA nation from this unfortunate and dangerous situation dropped in our land. The bad part about this, is changing a country to be the country you come from. Dirt is something that our fellow Africans must be taught that is unacceptable in SA. People must behave, keep the place clean as you find it if you love yourself and you are well raised.

[@BaronMaron-g2j]

In the past it didn't matter if you were a foreigner ( mid 90's), I remember I was also happy to see other Africans, until I lost a family to family to a foreigner, I don't hate! I admire hard working foreigners and I support their businesses.

[@TheLutheranDude7938]

Sorry for this loss. No offense intended, but would it have been less painful if a fellow local person committed that crime?. South Africans appear to be more sensitive to certain crimes ONLY if committed by a "foreigner" when in fact those exact types of crimes occur daily and in abundance among South Africans themselves. There is a serious failure of law enforcement. This is what local and foreign criminals are taking advantage of.
