    Hillbrow is like Amakrokokroko becoming Abafana bafana, we are encouraged that it will one day be Amabhokobhoko. lol

    Thank you ! Your videos make my day! ❤️ I lived in the area in the 80,s and early 90's . Still recognizing the area ! Min: 4.45 Hilton Plaza , Quartz Str. min: 5.30 Highpoint Mall with all those nice cafes there in the 80's ( cafe Wien and cafe zurich a few blocks down Kotze Str. at former Netbank Plaza ) min: 5.59 former Ingrams Corner now a Capitec branch Twist Str cn. Kotze Str. min: 7.46 Hillbrow Tower and Brixton Tower ....... You're absolutely right ! Hillbrow deserves to be revamped ! Iconic place 👍

    “It is overrun by foreigners”
    Correction: it is overrun by foreign criminal syndicates. Truth be told
    I’m too familiar with hilbrow. Tower area, Esselen clinic area, area just before parktown and up to Berea. No substantial renewal can happen with criminal syndicates still operating freely there. Unfortunately there’s no political will and plan from govt

      Will be cool if you can get into the Telkom Tower (old J.G. Strydom/Hillbrow Tower) to get footage of the old revolving restaurant that used to be there 👍

    • @Livinginsatv
      @Livinginsatv  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @nathrix I have been inside the tower already but you are not allowed to take footage without permission from the owners. I did a documentary about the hillbrow tower you may have a look here on the channel.

    I have a question. I've noticed a trend over the years. Whenever a nice place is established there are a lot of white people living there. But when black people move in, the place gets dilapidated and the white people move out and establish another suburb. And the pattern goes on. Is this true or is my Perceived perception wrong. If what I'm noticing is true, can someone please explain why. Thanks. I live in Southern Africa by the way, so I see this phenomenon close up.

    I was born in Addington Hospital in 1967 but found myself living in a shack near Tara Road in Wentworth. I left South Africa in 2001, and wrote my story, A Coloured in Full flight, the boy from the barracks, about the bullying, racism and discrimination. exit.co.za/2022/07/04/book-review-a-coloured-in-full-flight-the-boy-from-the-barracks-part-1/
    I lived in Jozi from 1992 - 2001 and they were simply wonderful years. xoxo

    I don't know whether that place has changed.I arrived in Hillbrow many years ago when it was the most dangerous neighborhood in the world .The first day I got into the flat near Hillbrow Inn,my friend came to me : "can you see this hole in our window ? There was a fight outside the night club.Someone shot , and the bullet came into our flat .It is very dangerous here you must be careful".That night I didn't even want to sleep in that flat.

    No please don't put visitors in harms way, I am a native of the country, tell every-one why you riding on the back of a bakkie, its really not safe. We need the government that will take all the crooks out of Hill brow, and give back the buildings to the owners.

    Please be a bit more realistic about Johannesburg .. all very well being positive .. but the reality is family members have just been held up and almost killed .. good luck to those trying to improve things but there is a long long way to go and without government help is destined to fail

      Everything you see around you starts with a dream, and dreams need positivity my friend . . . . We have to remain hopeful for Hillbrow to thrive one day. Look at MABONENG 🤷🏽‍♂️ 15yrs ago it was a junk yard.

    Hillbrow is owned by the Nigerian Drug Lords. Make Hillbrow South African and hope will return.
