The whole program was summed up in the last 10 seconds. When a resident casually urinates in front of the cameras on some loved ones grave. If there was ever a bigger insult, i have not heard of it.
11:17 thank you! Thank you Carte Blanche for the AMAZING journalism and letting South Africans know what’s going on in our country. Not even the dead is at peace, thank you anc!
I think we should have a parliament sitting with Carte Blache & several investigative journalists asking questions directly to the ministers; that would be interesting
@@corteztt518 Apartheid really took place and thousands were slaughter have the decency to let those who were affected by it speak about it whenever and however they want.
@@SpotonwithTP-qz6wq so these people are mismanaging the graveyards of people who died during apartheid and some disrespectfully sleeping on top of them; yet some idiot is using apartheid as an excuse to not clean them up?
We're overtaxed but still we must pay for private security, private Healthcare, private cemeteries. It is so disheartening what South Africa has become.
You'll be more shocked if you visit any province and see what the ANC has done to the people; the ANC is heartless, merciless and evil to say the least.
Just to put things into perspective... If they paid a certain company R1million to maintain all 33 cemeteries and 1 crematorium... And that company does this cycle every 4 months, the municipality would have spent R30million in that decade. There is a whole R20million in excess that is not accounted for here and these people are lucky to maybe have the grass cut every 3 years.
not just anc. The DA also never maintained the Howick, kzn cemetry. I had to bury my mother in the middle of an unkept cemetry, had to pay the funeral parlor extra to cut the grass a bit so they could bring the casket in. And to this day not even an apology even after bring this to their attention. All these parties are the same.
This is sad people in the comments attacking and blaming government rightfully so, but at the same time making excuses for people building shacks in graveyards, when we have plenty of unoccupied land its embarrassing to say the least. Two wrongs don't make it right those people should be ashamed of themselves sies maan.
100% if we dnt respect our dead, who must respect them. We are the problem, we allow lawlessness and then point to another person. How do you build a shack on top of someone's grave and think that is okay.
You simply cannot keep making the same mistake and expect a different outcome each time. These people vote the same each time and here we are again/still..
The whole country looks like this, shameful, and we want investors coming to SA. They can't even maintain cemeteries, let alone urban areas and supply clean water. Service delivery is a no show "No man to be trusted, everything's corupted once man touch it"
I’m very grateful for what you all do, it’s important to expose truth and bring issues to the attention of the people of our country. As saddening as it is, I think it’s important for us to all be aware of what’s going on around us. Well done!
It not only happening here ppl I'm from Groot marico in north west the government stole my land and started burying ppl in my property I can't do them nothing fighting in high court with them now for 3 years almost stil no compensation things are bad here in this country and knowing it's not there property they stil charged ppl 950 to burry
I was Speechless whilst watching this. Goosebumps, Disgust, Anger, Shocked, Perplexed and..and..and..😮 Useless incompetent hopeless Mayor incl predecessors. Urinating on sacred land!? AND they continue voting the same, Yohhh 😮
It is deeply troubling to witness the construction of shacks on graves, as it reflects a profound disregard for the sacredness of the deceased and the legacy they leave behind. “When the dead are not honored, the living have lost their way,” as Lao Tzu reminds us. The desecration of burial grounds not only dishonors the memory of those laid to rest but also reveals a collapse of respect for life and heritage. “A society that does not respect its dead has no respect for life.” The graves, which should serve as places of reverence and reflection, are being treated as mere land, severing the sacred thread that binds generations. Such actions demonstrate a dangerous erosion of humanity and cultural values. “Those who desecrate the dead show contempt not only for the past but for humanity itself.” We must restore dignity to these spaces, for “the way we treat the dead reflects how we value the living.”
The mayor is a disgrace. She says she gets her information from the Daily Dispatch newspaper. She must go. Then, bcm increased the electricity surcharges on paying customers. Added around R430 per month on pre paying customers, and added 700 to 67, thus post paid customers now pay 767 per month, just to enrich the bcm crooks.
More like survived, these people are so poor they just want to leave this prov. EL has been ignored since apartheid, only construction here is road maintenance, even then only the highways.
In essence i dont think they vote mate, anyway you would think da is smart enough to use this but nah in 10y only saw 3 da chaps who waved their flag from highway bridge and one mean look and they got into their posh car and drove off.
This is the South Africa of the Anc, with no barriers, no boundaries, no borders,no accountability, no measurements,no dignity, no Ubuntu, it's a state of disgrace
Watched this one with tears streaming down my face, my mom is burried in Haven Hills cemetery, Trees are growing in the cemetery. A few families going an cleaning the graves doesn't really help of the rest of the cemetery is not taken care of. At one point cemeteries would get burnt as means to cut grass. This is the case in most cemetries in and around East London. Sad sad one indeed.
I grew up in East London.. it was a beautiful little town 30yrs ago. Now it disgusting. Filth everywhere , total destruction. Oh mmmm I forgot that it's apartheid fault .... r I g h t
This is so painful. But I’m also side eying the locals. Growing up we would go to the graves of our relatives and clean it up ourselves. Even now we do the same and I’m talking about going to a gravesite also in the cities. Government needs to do better there’s no denying it but the dead are ours we also need to play a part in up keeping their final resting place.
Thats another arrogance we experience daily from ANC leaders. Im not even surprised that she does not see anything wrong to get info from Daily Dispatch about Buffalo City wellbeing. South Africa will only move forward when citizens eventually vote out ANC without allowing them back in any form of help like GNU nonsense.
That mayor is cadre deployment at its finest. Must be the only mayor in the entire world who relies on the local newspaper to tell her what's going on in the area. Unbelievable. Big question - where is the money that has supposedly, according to her, been spent on upkeep of the graveyards? Such disrespect for the dead.
The ANC is sending a strong message, they're saying "This is the respect we have for South Africans". When they say these kinds of things we must listen, it'll help us to make better decisions in future.
How do people start an informal settlement? Where di they meet to discuss starting a new "area" Where did they live before. Im so angry, disgusted, and hurt. Couldn't finish the video 😢😢😢 STOP HAVING KIDS YOU CANT AFFORD!
I totally agree. I'm not a nasty or heartless person but stop dragging children through a life you yourself are suffering through! If I couldn't feed myself or put a roof over my head why on earth would I bring another person into this life to suffer the same fate?
Interviewer: Do you know the true state of the cemeteries Mam? Mayor: Yes I know them, I’m a mayor I go around and see them Govan: But you didn’t know the burners were off at the crematorium Mayor: no I did not know because it was not even in the daily dispatch . All in all, she is out of touch with reality and she doesn’t know the state that the cemeteries are in unless the daily dispatch says it. I doubt she even reads the newspaper!
Flippen bad if u ask Me, East London is my place of birth but I'll never move back the whole city is a mess Ppl in power are only their for a paycheck the mayor has no clue what is going on in her own city
In many parts of the world a festival or holiday is held where families get together to celebrate the lives of those that have passed. They visit the gravesite(s) & do a cleanup etc as a sign of respect & rememberence. In Mexico families members meet at the gravesite and have a picnic (Day of the Dead) - I actually prefer this to the usa halloween that doesn't celebrate anything but overindulgence. These holidays are not morbid, but rather a day of rememberence & celebration. Perhaps this is something all sa cultures should look at doing at least once a year whenever this is most convenient. I'm not giving the municipality a free pass here - graveyards need to be properly managed & maintained to avoid enviro impacts (especially ground water) and be a place of peace & rememberence. But all this takes a lot of money (monies allocated should not be mismanaged). It would be great if communities & municipalities (everywhere) could work together to keep graveyards looking presentable. In Curitiba (brazil) city green spaces are kept trim by herds of miniature sheep - no petrol lawnmowers or loads of plastic bags etc with cuttings ending up in landfills. In Singapore many parks are maintained by city gardeners supported by volunteers. Where there's a will, there's a way...
@@CitiesForTheFuture2030 the miniature sheep would be stolen and eaten, I promise you. There is enough money set aside for this, yet no one can tell us where it went to. Why not give the job to maintain the sites to the jobless then. At least there will be a mouth fed . And why are the auditors not questioned? Surely this can't be happening year in and year out.
@@nadinemeinie3380comrades have installed their own auditor. This is how anc corruption works all over sa in small muncipalities or rural ones. The local politicians benefit only in Stuttereim the poor burnt down the gov buildings now the gov hasnt even rebuilt it it stands there in the middle of the town still burnt down. The gov obviously dont want to broadcast their new residence because they are useless, the locals are also stealing illegal wood from gov land and loading into trucks to sell. No permits so they get off with free money. Anc is just not people who take pride in hard work and helping their communities.
@@nadinemeinie3380 Yes, the rot is widespread, incl auditors (not the first time) - par for the sa course unfortunately. My comment wanted to illustrate (1) everyone should be working together - gov vs personal responsibility (2) there are innovative low cost options. While sa is a medium income country, high poverty & unemployment means gov taxes falling on less people. And yes it would be nice if gov could employ all unemployed persons - but who pays? Our country has lots of challenges and gov is guilty of many sins, but that not negate communities doing their fair share (where appropriate) - we should be working together. BTW, sheep herds in Curitiba do have shepherds to care for them and are kept safe overnight - they're never left unprotected.
I dont think I could be more traumatized, after watching this. And big shoutout to the journalist for being the eye that lets us see that things like this are happening, an absolute failure of state.
It is absolutely shocking. Why and how do these incompetent individuals even get appointed at the Municipalities. Secondly, those who build shacks on top of a graveyard has absolutely no moral compass. It is disgusting, the disrespect and the filth.
