🇿🇦 American Couple Reacts "MOST DANGEROUS Part of Johannesburg, South Africa"

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Hey fam, Perception and life experiences has a role in reactions. What someone may see as a certain way may not be what another person sees. Much love always!

[@mondevuso]

Hillbrow used to be such a beautiful, clean and safe city, it break my heart seeing it this way.

[@juciyjcurtis7938]

Hey Fam, i am from Durban iv been in Cambodia for 9 months and i will be heading back home on the 6th of June flying to Johannesburg 😂 besides missing my family. Its the chicken licken, nandos pepper steak pies steers braai meat pap and spinach tribe bunny chow and briyani that i miss, South Africans who have never left South Africa will never fully understand and appreciate Our beautiful country ❤

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Safe travels,fam! It is a beautiful country indeed! We will get a personal view of it later this year😊

[@sifisobande8597]

Hey guys, I am from the east coast of SA, Durban. What he describes is probably a very honest view from the perspective of someone visiting, a view that is to a larger extent, very prevalent in our country. The contrast between the rich and the poor is indeed that much apparent unfortunately. The legacy of apartheid still lingers. I love your videos and I enjoy watching your reactions to our country and hopefully you will experience ubuntu for yourselves when you come to visit. Peace!!!

[@ReaperZa23]

Before Hillbrow became the criminal microcosm it is now, full of Nigerian trafficker,Zimbabwean and Mozambican cartels and many other criminal activities, it was safe and the nightlife hotspot of the city. Now,its supremely unsafe to walk about,day OR night

[@kulanimaluleke7926]

I love how you guys are defensive of SA, it makes me realise how much you love SA

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We do!❤️

Hillbrow actually was one of the first parts of Joburg to be cosmopolitan /mixed race. It was very safe and a hub for artists, poets , intellectuals , free thinkers and political activists. You could walk around anytime of day or night and be safe . The buildings are now run down because they are hijacked. The city is not paid for services . The majority South Africans who stayed there left . Sad.

[@avestuart]

I've been to South Africa and staff at wherever I stay never let me venture-out on my own. It's a great place, I always meet locals while i'm there, but it seems as though every resident has a story of being robbed. I'll still go back, though.

[@Sbudafada]

Please note that Johanessburg covers a geographical a surface area three times that of New York thus you cann fully experience Joburg in different world without overlapping crime areas.

[@karenh9043]

There are white squatter camps in SA, the area where he talked about is Hillbrow / Berea / Yeoville. There are people of all races living there, but it's very run down and crime ridden, mostly being taken over by crime lords (we call it little Nigeria), because there is such a large population of foreigners (legal and illegal migrants). The "white" squatter camps aren't generally visited by poverty porn tourists (there is a massive tourist market where people are taken into squatter camps to gape at the poor people there....probably not the right way to describe it, it just annoys me because I can't see that it makes any kind of difference to the lives of the people living there).

[@michellepeffer5569]

Hello Fam Long time no see..He should have taken him to the township just Past the beautiful stadium, (Riverlea) that is where Gold was discovered. LangLaagte..(Randtjie laagte)

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Hi!😊 We haven’t heard much of that township yet.

[@ianbeddowes5362]

I lived in Berea next to Hillbrow until 2 years ago. Lived in the general area since 2008 including Yeoville.

[@neomontja71]

Yeah it's the spirit of Ubuntu Sisi and that's us. We are like that and we love you too Fam. We cannot wait for you to get here with the kids. We may even bring kids along to our meet ups to play with your kids ❤😊

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Did I pronounce it correctly?👀😅 They’d love that!

[@neomontja71]

@@TheDemouchetsREACT Your pronunciation was correct Sisi just the accent was throwing you under the bus. Don't worry, you got it 😊

[@thabanimathonsi3272]

He was right!! the places he said were run down really are run down!

[@dinaledi4085]

We have never seen anything like it and it seems to be getting worse. Filth everywhere.

[@TheHuny85]

You will never catch me in Hillbrow ,there`s a few South Africans left there if any .Dangerous part of Joburg

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Is that the area he was in with the people or the stores?

[@zuluuyasabeka9303]

@@TheDemouchetsREACT yes, mostly undocumented immigrants and some drug dealers.

[@neomontja71]

@@TheDemouchetsREACT yes Sisi is that area where he showed that flat and everyone was selling on the streets and that shop, you know which one 😊. I can never walk in JHB CBD and Hillbrow alone. I always get somebody to accompany me then I am not too scared otherwise I won't go. I am not strong enough.

[@zaneleradebe2808]

There are a few South Africans left in Hillbrow, but mostly fresh from other provinces and not entire families. People there usually don't own the flats they live in - it is almost exclusively rentals. Meaning that a lot of people are transient. They move from unit to unit at the drop of a hat. No real sense of ownership or community. Lots of apathy. Almost a collective depression numbed by substance dependence or church. Just everyone hustling and tryna survive til the next day. I think that partly explains the filth. Joburg CBD (especially Small Street) is a place you should probably avoid when you are by yourself especially if you are carrying anything valuable. Go about your business then quickly leave. Yeoville, for me, is worse than both.

I'll take Joburg over downtown Chicago anytime

[@ReaperZa23]

I just moved to Cape Town after 21 years in Joburg. I despise that city

[@DriveWheels]

Jozi is actually safe, I got mugged over 3 times in Pretoria

[@lailaiyaloo5860]

Jozi is so huge place and yes there are sus areas but also lovely areas too, i lived in Jozi from a teen , schooled in the cbd and roamed all over the place . Its hectic but you adapt.

[@cyrilmadihlaba9179]

By the way that song by Mirriam Makeba was honored by French Perfume house Une Nuit nomade Click Song name of the perfume

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thank you.

[@diva777]

I Remember way back, way back when Hillbrow was such a nice upscale area. Great shops and restaurants. I stayed there all the time I'd travel to Jo'Burg now you will NEVA catch me there. Good thing is there is so many other great parts to visit and stay safely.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Sadly, that happens all over the world. We’re going for a good time not a short one lol

[@ayobampilo5762]

I lived in Johannesburg my whole life and I've never experienced crime

[@lindanimpanza1988]

Hey , you guys dont visit just back home,. I love the love you have for S.A

[@Arti-iChi]

That's why is good to have a guide as GPS will take you through the fastest route however it might be through areas we consider dangerous

[@keitumetsemoroe7038]

Yebo sisi, indeed we do have spirit over Ubuntu ( humanity )

[@keitumetsemoroe7038]

Johannesburg used to be a beautiful and safe place at some point guys but now such a disaster and it is heartbreaking .

[@vuyokazimthethwa]

U-Bun-tu sister Ci 😩 you almost had it ✨

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

🥴😂

[@cyrilmadihlaba9179]

I'm trying to connect the dots of the title of this video. Yes Hilbro is dangerous dominated by petty crimes like mugging n drugs if people can detect you being unfamiliar with the place , that's Joburg slum area. We have a family from Louisiana New Orleans residing here in SA, and the gentleman said Joburg is not dangerous as people perceive compared to top 50 dangerous city in the world. As for inequality unfortunately that's the legacy of Apartheid.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

It’s the title of the original video. We’re from Louisiana (New Orleans and Lafayette), so we felt the same way but again, we couldn’t see the full scope of what he saw.

[@THEERNEST525]

The problem with perception is most people can only tell you about places they have lived in so for me as someone who lives in Joburg South townships I can relate to the dangers that come with the territory

[@zaneleradebe2808]

Honestly, a lot of these dangerous 'hoods - if you can't avoid them - can be navigated if you aren't too conspicuous and use a bit of common sense 🤔

[@ianbeddowes5362]

I am white and lived around Hillbrow for years without any problem.

[@shipagift9818]

Hey fam, I am teacher. Working in Bramfischerville (part of Soweto) it's a little impoverish but recently iv been seeing white people slowly moving into the community. So yeah, I think the segregation part is getting better...people r now getting to understand each other and relate more than we did 10 years ago

His video is boring cause he didn't go inside the township he shot from the road with a drone he should have gone inside

[@stephenogbuabia8674]

Don't worry much about the blogger's views. He is notorious for looking for the bad sides of African countries, which he usually highlights in his videos.

Interesting 😶
