- Durban, South Africa.
Durban is a renowned holiday resort. L/S crowded beach where a beauty pageant is taking place, - girls in bikinis walk along a catwalk, with onlookers sitting in deck chairs. The winner of Miss Durban competition kisses the compere. There is a cutaway shot to four well built men - 1960's hunks!
There are people trampolining at the beach, sand surfing, and sailing boats. At the beach young men surf the big waves. Tourists walk along the front and are taken for a ride in rickshaws pulled by people in traditional ceremonial African dress with huge horned and decorated head-dresses. Look quite scary.
Note: see also CP 415 Cuts.

can’t believe this is south africa, durban looks so different now🤌
In the days before White Erasure.
It looks how it supposed to be.
@@Tee-e4i You mean cesspool?
@@Tee-e4iYes, that's progress, like it's always has been. Whites create something and then the Majority mob it and the Whites move out. So basically Whites are the Pioneers where others follow. Must be terrible always playing catchup.
@@critical_analysis no ma’am I mean the original dominant genes.
Incredible. 60 years already!
eww 🤢🤢🤢🤢

That was before my time, but love it. ❤️ 💪
Look how neat and clean ,Well mannered ppl enjoying a beautiful organized place.
And they say Apartheid was wrong .
The state of Durban now is so bad that you can't walk on the beach of fear you'll step on a used needle .or get mugged .
Apartheid was wrong and is still wrong.
Get over it.
Ur disgusting.
Apartheid was wrong.
Yes it was wrong, that doesn't change.
@ so it's only wrong when whites did it but the Blacks are doing it now for the past 30 years not only to the other races but their own and you think that's Okay
And not wrong
Your delusional
Apartheid was there to keep order
The evidence is all around you
Look at what happened when it was removed
FYI
During apartheid
The black folks didn't have it as bad as now
They had their own infrastructure
Working hospitals
Police
Access to shops schools and own beaches etc
Oh that's right
It was maintained by the Apartheid government
It's because of greed and envy
Just like today and incompetence that they don't understand that nothing comes for free that SA is what it is today
So Apartheid is not the problem
I was on that beach today, walking my dog along the promenade. The whole beachfront has been upgraded and modernized since then, it is a fantastic beachfront. This morning the municipality was pressure cleaning the paving and clearing windswept sand. I go there often, the demography of the people there is more or less correct for South Africa. I was born in 1952 in Addington Hospital that overlooks the scenes in this video. This morning an Indian man came up to me and spoke to me about my dog. We had a friendly conversation. He is in his 70's, same as me, he was a very friendly, to think that for most of his life he would not have been allowed on that beach unless he was selling refreshments to white people. It happens all the time with black and Indian people, truly humbling.
Meanwhile back in the real world beachfront hotels in Durban are closing due to high crime and low tourism.
@@markchatten9484 What's your point? What I described did happen. It is real and is happening despite the high crime and low tourism. I have been going to Durban's beaches for 72 years. I you like I can tell some more nice stories, may help you think up some more nasty stuff to say.
I guess all the farmers feel truly humbled as their families are being murdered too.
@@brantdanger Those farm murderers have achieved their political goal. They have made you hate almost every person in whole world even someone just walking along the beachfront and greeting a stranger.
@@markchatten9484no, Southern Sun is actually investing over R1bn into their beachfront hotels to retain the leases and upgrade them
Amazing days, beautiful SA, my family started importing toys to South Africa from UK via Durban harbour in 1956, these toys were manufactured in England, made so many train enthusiasts day, special birthdays and Christmas gifts so exciting, The Triang Brothers🙏🌟✨🚂💭💭
Good memories
Good all days when everything was working.
Great days !!
Good old racist days
@@pmambongwe8640those were the days you could walk outside without thinking you would get robbed.
Msunu we great days dolo lika yihlo
@@pmambongwe8640 Yeah, as if today is a wonderful period of great progress right? Let me reiterate, NO African nation will progress till it solves the rampant corruption, raises education standards, eliminates crime and distances itself from inter-clan/tribal rivalry. Many African nations have been independent for so many years, where they stand now?
Ok, forget about apartheid, what are they doing with the Chinese businesses? Just for some good buck they are sold out to the Chinese; Hence, the points raised above are not solved, African will remain in dark for another millennium.
U Lack Discipline mister
Like a paradise look at these compared today is a fantastic South Africa very backward I so sad these day probly doesn't come back
How fantastic!
Oh how it has fallen.
Gone to the dogs.

@@breogan8121Don't be bitter, what you see here is the White Culture, Blacks did their own thing in those days.
Comes enjoy Durban today, spend the morning slipping over leaking sewerage, followed by a swim in the sewerage in The Indian Ocean. Enjoy a good evening mugging on the beach front in the evening followed by a Cr@ck deal down Point Road
Tourists were attacked broad day light not far from ushaka.
Although apertheid looks bad, you gotta admit everything looked cleaner then what it looks like now..
Because it catered for less people
@@henda1538 not racist or anything, but the Europeans are more well organised than their African counterparts.
@@going1917 says nobody y’all can’t even wash y’all legs
@@50-O I'd rather be around ppl who don't wash their legs than a city full of crime. Baring in mind, durban smells alot worse than it did back then.
@@AAA-hd7nbWhite boi spotted. Shameless pig, don't worry the whites are dying race anyways
Back when South Africa was a functional country
Back ? Or black ?
Functional for whom?
@@aneeskemal4431 civilised people

@@rickmpillay The idea, yes. The implementation was not
Back when South Africa was a 1st world country
a first world country with a gdp per capita of 2000 to 500 a year
@EzzadinFarah just for your information, South Africa in 1962 were much richer than Netherlands on that time with a GDP per capita of 1300
@@hirotwo2018 that lies cause the graph said in the 60s south africa had a gdp per capita of a hundred
Always trying to make it as if SA was booming financially in the past but that's not the case if you research
This was a country worth preserving. What a sad sell-out it was.
So clean.......
What happened?
Oh yes😢
You f....d up
Spot the difference from then and now 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢O so how different we really are 😢😢😢😢😢
Lol. I dunno how to react to that last part. Runner can run for miles or they like on holiday themselves. Lol.

Beautiful ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Aaahhhhh those were the days.
Wasn't South Africa under apartheid law during the 60s
@@girlgreenivyThat's exactly what he meant if you didn't get it.
@@girlgreenivyyes and the country was better for it in every conceivable way.
@@feanor7080 okay. Just wanted to confirm what kind of people were in this thread.
@@feanor7080 Agree!
South Africa was a great then unfortunately it's not now and it's horrible now.
No it's not !
@@felix121984 You are right. Isn't our country just beautiful today? Collapsing infrastructure, unemployment, high crime and insanely corrupt government, gang wars, filthy water, inflation etc. But you know what, doesn't matter. Because now we can sit on the same toilet!
Wonderfully white when everything worked and no crime and filth.
Yea, wonderfully white... When even us, very moderate, peace-loving, non-violent Indians were looked at as we were dirt and absolute filth... How you must have enjoyed your wonderful superiority...
It's fd up now.. For sure. 😅
nobody is fat only normal peoplle.
In those days Durban was a white man's paradise.
Wonderful if you were white. Pretty awful if you were black or brown
2:29 onwards sound like a national geographic commentary......
Well,what can i say ? Durban was a white paradise 👍👍🟧⬜️🟦
Hay quá
It's sad it could have been multicultural then without apartheid 😢
life changes my fellow blackoes
Не сильно отличается от видео с довольными немецкими нацистами.
А ты не сильно отличаешься наличием ума
How is your military conflict going?
Incredibly based 🗿🤝
@@FiniteMan1933People having fun and not having the worry of being robbed or worse is based? You must examine your priorities because something is wrong there.
So these people living in safety and having fun makes them nazis? That gets me rethinking history. Have we been lied to...
Being democratically scared to walk around now.
looks so much better today with the new promenade and all the black people running around.
But Durban been destroyed.
Yeah, such diversity now
Better dung than a knock off german
Yes on a warm day it looks like a ant colony on a spree on the beach😮
@@johanvandermerwe4620like a large and fast wave
7% of the population taking over the entire beach. I was in Durban a few months ago, I was impressed at how many blacks were enjoying the beach while all the whites were locked up in their boat club in point. Even in umhlanga it's the same, and it's better like that.
In those days the Majority weren't like they are today. They didn't do the beach and swimming thing as they were mostly in the rural areas.
@@andrewdutoit9571 yeah cos it was illegal for them go there
Not to mention they were forced into those rural area
@@Shola-tg6lv You wrong, do your homework. Nobody put the Majority into the rural areas, that's where they originated from. The Zulu's came mainly from the Valley of a thousand hills in Kwazulu Natal, the Xhosa from Transkei in the Eastern Cape etc.Our Black people have Tr!bes, Heritage and a specific Cultures, unlike the teppid African Americans who's culture is given to them by the Constitution. For example, in the late 1950's, if you put Pedi in charge of a work team of Zulu's for instance, you will have War as no other tr!be told a Zulu what to do, in some instances that can still applie today. As far as beaches go, Blacks didn't do the sun bathing and swimming thing. Some of the best beaches are in the Eastern Cape, just GOOGLE them and see how many Black people are sunbathing. Also, their Elders didn't want to mix with the Whites as they were fearful that they would lose their culture. So don't be fooled, do research on the tr!bes of South Africa as It's quiet interesting.
@@andrewdutoit9571 why are u censoring tribes? Anyway white people don’t have a culture in Africa and should all be deported back
@@Jaylio Tr!bes was censored because my posts get deleted.. GOOGLE Boer and Afrikaaner and see how long they have been in South Africa. We have been here just as long as the Whites have colonised America and twice as long as the White Auastralians but not a word has been said about them returning to Europe. Using your logic all Blacks must leave Europe, America, the Caribbean, South America, Indonesia et al? I don't think so. Anyway, the World is envious and jealous of the White African as we have been placed in Africa by God, read about our origins.
Exploiters have no shame at all.
@L. Joseph Exploiters my eye, what you talking about. Do you think they did it for buchshee?
and in 2024?
Nah we conquered and won, then it was stolen from us by communists terrorists and we handed the country over with open hands only for it to be destroyed within a decade.
Bathong this comment section kaze bathathwaphi abelungu
Not at all, where were colour film in that year?
Well not in TV's but most cinema things were in colour.
Where were black people
enjoying their own pass times
Being maids and servants
They were not allowed to go to the beach. Even those in the city had to have a work pass on their id documents
@@jungbolosse3034they had their own beaches. Why do they want to be where the whites are anyway?
They had there own beaches and homelands with thier chiefs that south africas taxes provided for them
where r the africans
The blacks and indians are locked up in township
@@prabowodjojominarso6151 they could've made their own areas fun and functional. Why only white people know how to do this?
They had their own beaches.
@ where , during apartheid when they were caged up
@southsudani983 nobody was chained up. What propaganda have you been listening to.
I had to watch the video again looking for the 'better' people are on about. I couldn't find any, even the models
The days of apartheid look beautiful
Just joking F this
It DID look beautiful then!
You resent the success of the past.
@@3506Dodge i agree, they prefer chaos and destruction. its in their genetics. we have different creators.
Apartheid was a good idea but it was applied bad most of the time, where it was intended to give their own countries for black people became into a brutal discrimination segregation system with the racism that we see in the end.
But anyway I don't support apartheid in anyway because it divided SA in different countries.
Bro what?
@@Shola-tg6lv bruh that's what I'm thinking
Bruh from google: aim of the apartheid was to maintain white domination while extending racial separation. Meaning it wasn’t good at all, SA just needs to incorporate a better education system, create a lot more jobs and help the economy, then this place will be as beautiful as it was back then.
@@JayanimagicYou mustn't believe GOOGLE as it has distorted History. Apartheid was created to protect the White Culture. What you see in the video is White Culture run by White people, what you have today is White Culture run by Blacks who are trying to Africanise what they got for free and that's why the degradation.
@@Jayanimagic That's BS, there was no chance that the Whites would rule for ever. At the rate the Country's economy was growing the Whites would have needed help to run the Country. That's why there were University's in the Homelands to produce educated Black people to assist but, the West, Socialists, Liberals and Communists didn't want a strong South Africa as all they wanted was under the ground, to hell with the people...
Shaka should have invented that
Cha abelungu babecanasa boh
The women were being paraded half naked. That's oppression 😅
Zulu girls are topless.
This. Watch this.
all those racists!
Yes, motorsport was a favourite in those days.
My grandfather was in his teens back then and wasnt racist he use to make a ton of black friends behind his parents back because he believed racism was wrong and so do i
@@minksyz Racism was practiced both ways. But it wasn't Racism from the start as you experienced. Whites wanted to protect their culture and heritage and the Black Indunas prohibited their folk from frequenting White towns and areas for fear that they would lose the Black Culture, which has resulted in a bastardised culture of both! I was born in Natal in the 50's before the Socialists badmouthed all who didn't agree with their philosophy.
The subject is getting boring
No ECOLI ON THE BEACHES.
EVERYTHING WORKED.
RACE CARD LIVES RENT FREE IN THE BRAINS STILL.
