Cape Town, South Africa | Inside the World’s Most Dangerous Cities (Documentary)

  • With a population of nearly six million, Cape Town is the second city of South Africa. Many of the richest people in the country have ocean villas there. But there is a dark side to this breathtakingly beautiful city. Three thousand people a year are murdered in Cape Town, making it the most dangerous city in Africa.
    Shootings are commonplace, especially in the townships. Some townships have become no-go areas, plagued by murders, violent robberies and illicit trade of every kind. The police are pushed beyond their limits by the level of violence. Many locals choose to carry guns to defend themselves. Some even turn vigilante, while the middle classes barricade themselves into houses that are increasingly heavily fortified.
    When they do leave their homes, people are constantly on the alert for potential threats. Last year over 18,000 people in South Africa were the victims of a carjacking at gun point. People have little to no faith in the police, as so many of these crimes remain unsolved. Some invest in panic buttons which they always carry with them. Just one quick press of the red button, and an armed response team from a private company rushes to the client’s rescue.
    Manenberg, 15 kilometres from the city centre, serves as headquarters for a notorious gang who call themselves “The Americans.” They are violent drug dealers who flood the streets of Manenberg with “tik” a local version of crystal meth. Their rivals the “Dixie Boys” run protection rackets, and the gangs frequently fight for territory.
    The police struggle to enforce the law, but the gangsters have no fear of prison. On the contrary, it helps them to gain status with their peers. Witnesses often refuse to speak to the police in fear of their lives.
    With interviews and exceptional access, this film tells the tragic stories of beautiful Cape Town, one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
    This film was first released in 2022.

    South Africa is more-or-less a failed state now. The Governments have had massive income at their disposal for decades since Apartheid ended. They're no longer at war with all their neighbours, they have wonderful land and all kinds of mineral resources.
    The place ought to be booming. There should have been affordable housing projects, schools and new hospitals and clinics sprouting up everywhere. This would have led to growth and jobs and hope.
    Alternatively, you can build mansions for all your supporters, buy them BMW cars and set up fake businesses to launder the Government money into personal bank accounts.
    They have now a long established political class which is an organised Kleptocracy. It doesnt matter who you vote for, or what they promised - They WILL steal all the money as first order of business.
    Its a heartbreaker. I remember the hope everyone had when Mandela was released from jail. But they held him 20 years too long. His wife had become a political party on her own and out of control. And he was released as a lost old man surrounded by younger and greedier people who'd used the ANC as a ladder to personal wealth.
    I personally used to think that 'white flight' was about racism - white people refusing to accept one person, one vote.
    Now 20 years later, you realise that these were ordinary people, plumbers, engineers, mechanics and their families who
    couldnt survive the lawlessness and crime going on. Not rich enough to have teams of armed guards and so on - what kind of choice did they have?

      You have no idea what a failed state is if you think SA is a failed state. It still functions even with all its corruption. No one is saying it’s good but to jump to call it a failed state is ridiculous. Visit Somalia just once and you’ll understand what a real failed state is and how it “operates”.

      @@modernmelbourneman 'Failed State' is a relative term. What I said was that S.A. was more-or-less a failed state.
      Its like a sugar lump placed on a saucer full of water. It retains its form for a good long while even though it is dissolving inexorably.
      Its like that with countries too.
      Somalia was on its way to failed statehood during the time of Siad Barre -after his coup of 1969 led to the destruction of state institutions and kleptocracy.
      In Lebanon, also a more or less failed state, the crunch came during the civil war in the 1970's and Israeli invasion.
      Both of these sugar lumps have taken decades to finally collapse into chaos and one has dissolved more than the other - but the process has been the same.
      South Africa isnt quite there yet. But all the failures and bad governance/corruption is alive and well. And once this process starts, it seems theres no way back.

It’s amazing the contrasts in Cape Town and South Africa as a whole.

    And people moan about the UK. Imagine having to carry a gun for protection. Imagine having to look over your shoulder and keep checking your rear view mirrors. Imagine having to install a wall with electric fences and spikes around your house, more akin to a prison than a home. Imagine having to wait until your gate is locked before you drive off. Imagine not being able to go for a walk at night. Imagine living in a city with at least 10 murders a day (and countless attempted murders). It's things we take for granted, yet people still moan about Britain. It really isn't that bad in the UK. Even our most dangerous places (certain inner city neighbourhoods of certain cities) look like Narnia compared to Cape Town. The well-off in Cape Town think they have a nice life. But it's not nice if you have to live in a well guarded compound and spend every waking minute looking over your shoulder and being on guard and worrying about being hijacked as you wait at a red light. Each to their own I guess.
