My hometown! Born & bred there.. although in apartheid my infant carer was a white’mother’ together with her twins while my mom was the houeskeeper as she was a young bride & her knowlege of cooking was just cooking an egg !! I met the twins again when they had a trip to SA for their 75th Bday..unfortunately the last one alive has dementia now.😔
White people built such an incredible civilization❤ clean streets, no graffiti on the buildings no trash on the sidewalks a stable currency a thriving economy, agriculture, industry, plenty of electricity and air conditioning, pure running water and then everything started to crumble. I wonder what happened
Artificial colonial facade of an African city kept alive by artificial respiration of authoritarian laws and fueled by the need to secure a place for wealthy people benefiting from the status quo.
@@Karen-ig6bp Wow. Then why do you need to contract multiple security companies , surround your estate with electrical wire and arm yourselves to keep part of the sociology out of your property?
@selcukcilek555 because we live in a dangerous country😂 what a stupid question. When the police fail you you have to organize your own security. Not only that but you have any idea how many blacks and indians live in the same estates? And not only that most of the whites in south africa live in normal suburbs or in the country side😂. You implying that because there still exists poverty a city is somehow fake is absurd. By that logic if someone built a fence around their house in new york or sydney its somehow is only a facade of america or Australia is ridiculous

@@selcukcilek555 And yet isn't it ironic that the same colonial powers imposed the debilitating economic and diplomatic quarantine upon the apartheid regime that eventually brought it down. Also regardless of your rich vocabulary, factually Cape Town is much more dirty and unsafe today.
@@seenoevil85 It's not ironic. Those colonial powers you mention did it when there was no way out because the SU supported the ANC. But what is dirt and unsafeness.? When you need to massacre people in another part of the city to keep another part "clean" then this is colonial filth at it's finest.
"my grandparents were refused acceptance due to their skin color. " Oh yes. And post-apartheid whites have to get much higher marks than blacks in school to be admitted to UCT.
I feel the same way about South Africa now, black people being handed jobs because they are the "desired demographic" as per AA, BEE, BEA etc.., not based on merit but skin colour. I had to emigrate from SA to find employment because I was too white.
What a treasure chest!! Thankyou!
Gone forever.....just like the rest

I know right. It’s so easy to to achieve a comfortable life when you have an endless supply of cheap labour.
These are are the same people who flee to Abu Dhabi but then complain about POC and Arabs
Beatiful CAPE TOWN!!!!!!!
Born and bred .❤
They going to change the name of CAPE TOWN to TUTU TOWN..
I’m serious no joke.
Cape town is still beautiful even now unlike JHB...I love how it is handled
Does a photo exist of an ice berg near Cape Town in the sea
Not to my knowledge and I'm 63

Nothing artificial about that in all senses.

Lovely memories....thank you. ! Our parents regularly took us to Sea point ... .it is as it is !

Oh please.
Golden days of apartheid.
Yes, Cape Town is very beautiful, even under Apartheid. The oldest town in South Africa (1652) and the "mother city" of South Africa.
I hate this...When I saw UCT reminded me of when my grandparents were refused acceptance due to their skin color. What is so beautiful about that.
Is there something mentally wrong with you.
I don't know how people can afford to go to Varcity, it's just too expensive even for the Middleclass in those days. Did you go?
Different people had different experiences. Don’t hate on those who were born into this situation and had no choice
