Really perceived fear of crime? When I lived in South Africa, we found a dead person in the swimming pool and once there was such carnage outside the front door, the blood leaked under it, into my house (and not a little bit either). Go live there with the doors unlocked. The heck is wrong with you?
I find it sadly ironic that a man who is paid to protect people in an affluent area has a much higher risk of being murdered in the neighborhood he actually lives in.
hes a happy chappie but he has a huge weight on his shoulders and hes not at ease . Nobody is at ease in south Africa, and while the lefty bbc marxistglobalist liars continue to spread the lefty indoctrination in Europe and Africa, and its indoctrinating subversive lefty universitys are given full open reign to do what they like to indoctrinate our youth, encouraged by traitors in the conservstive government this shit will continue. To hide the balls- ups and their total ineptness, conservative government traitors and libtards blame everything on a fictional 'hard right wing' so called 'white supremists' when in actual fact its the lefty supremists fascists who are the problem . lefty fascists.The gullible people especially the libtards are setting themselves up for a future EXACTLY like what is happening here under socialist Marxist South Africa to happen in Europe as well. This is coming your way Europe and within the next 20 years.. The lying subversive lefty bbc want whitey OUT of the UK, facts!, and the marxist globalists, and their cultural Marxism are trying to destroy the white family and "multiculture " us to death in Europe, GENOCIDE , so its has no true identity, and they can manipulate and control you and finally "CASH IN". Pull your fucking finger out NORMAL PEOPLE use your brains and vote out these lefty lovin commie traitors and those in our conservative governments who are virtue signalling up to the left. The marxist golobalist left who don't belong in our countrys and shouldn't be there, just like the lefty LYING bbc! Throw them out! defeat them! and take our culture and identities and countrys back before its too late ONCE YOUR FREEDOM IS GONE ITS GONE . IF YOU DONT YOU ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD! BREXIT MEANS BREXIT OR ELSE! THANKYOU PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR YOUR TRUTH HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY unlike the lying subversive lefty marxistglobalist CUNTS
He does indeed. Like in his case I'm okay to blame the system for not giving him more opportunity. Most blacks in SA do nothing and whine. That guy is really different though and I hope things gonna go really good for him eventually.
U see some of those houses on the vid, and the main areas of cape town, does it look like the people living in that lavishness think theyre not lucky? Theres alot of wealthy people living in south africa who are enjoying life much better than european lifestyle or whatever
@i hate anime my white south african relatives have had their house broken into, been put at gun point numerous times, my uncles been stabbed in the windpipe and had his car jacked when he pulled over to help a broken-down car. There president is taking white south Africans land daily, stealing millions from the people. They somehow made a bad situation worse and your telling me it's the white peoples fault, the same people who aren't in power.
@i hate anime even when this is remotely true, again, remotely true it works only by the people. nobody is adking You to kill someone Youre robbing and that You consider Yourself cool afterwards. It's not black and white !!!
lol, what's up with that "perceived crime" comment at the end, maybe there were only 4 murders in the fortified areas because they are in fact FORTIFIED. You don't turn your house into a castle for nothing.
Junkers in Tutus I can take you all over Africa and show you the consequences of the "whites leaving". Not pretty, and has been so for half a century. Why u think Africans flock to this place. We built SA together, black migrants from the North, European settlers. Yes, there were sorry MFs among them, wicked people, but my great grandfather and grandfather treated ANYONE who came to his medical practice, regardless of whether or how they could pay(even if Apartheid had them use separate facilities, they had them!. Maybe that's why my white ancestors weren't murdered in the 150+ years ago in SA! Same not true in Angola, DRC, Moz. etc. I worked in the townships after school, not carrying a gun but a bible. I'm leaving, btw. with my skills, family and goodwill, and not much more than the clothes on my back... Question Africans need to ask is who stands to benefit in the destabilisation of the region? think RED...
Well people drink less when they life in a healthy, safe environment with a family and friends than people who have nothing and want to escape from that... that also makes a man desperate.
Thanks Ocean Blue( idiot) for telling us about your bigotry. In the same way Children that were abused have trouble adapting to the world afterwards the majority of South-Africans have trouble recovering from being abused and robbed for centuries by colonial powers and the remaining vestiges of that white power. Of course it's easier to blame the victims than their well armed oppressors so i can understand why cowards such as yourself do what you do. Sucking up to the powerful is how you probably think you can get enough power to abuse others.
The whites kept their wealth and the vast majority of their economic power intact and that is part of why the country looks the way it does. The reality of course is that the overwhelming majority of the violence happens to the very people that still has no economic or much political power in the country while the middle class/white people are still by far the least likely group to be victims of crime; we can afford to hide and take precautions with all our 'stolen' ( state subsidy's) wealth. The problem on this comment section is that the large majority of those who feel compelled to make their opinions heard still stupidly believe in that ridiculous construct called race and try to see the world trough their narrow lens of presumed racial superiority instead of reading or thinking about the past.
They fucking stole my garden gnome when they jumped over my wall. They couldn't brake into my house so they stole what they could. 😂😂 5 days later I see this guy on the street trying to sell it.
I am a white South African and i would like to say this. Nobody really realizes how bad the African National Congress runs SA since taking over 20 years ago (Nelson Mandela etc.). I was young enough to remember living in a violent free society under the apartheid government, no strikes, no joblessness, no crime etc. I have to immigrate to Australia soon, i cannot deal with the consistent strikes by the 70% jobless people, the absolutely useless government facilities, the bad crime, the corruption in government etc. Does that make me racist? I have 3 black friends that agree it would be better to immigrate as SA is going downhill. Stop blaming apartheid for the current situation, it has been 20 years since apartheid and start looking at the incompetent and corrupt Africa governments!!
You are white, of course the apartheid government benefited you. And now this is the result of it. The corrupt government, police incompetence and poverty are all a result of the apartheid. Nobody was suffering before the arrival of Europeans.
Puertoricanpapi Seems everyone has an opinion but does not know the facts. I was a poor white South African that lost a business 4 years ago (during the ANC rule). I was able to pick myself up and build my business again. I was also 7 years old when the apartheid regime ended. Where did i benifit from the apartheid regime at all besides working hard myself, as apposed to all the black people that just expect something for nothing?
ShaunJW1 White privilege in apartheid South Africa is a fact. The way you describe your childhood in your first comment is proof of that. Blacks will have a different story Blacks in South Africa were denied access to proper education, you were not, so you have the skills required to rebuild your business. Now, South Africa is suffering the consequences of their racism. A generation of ill-educated blacks in management positions and poorly socialized youth committing crimes. The apartheid government is definitely the blame! and you are a racist for not acknowledging that.
***** something tells me you didn't read my comment, which is clearly about the consequences of the apartheid. Jacob Zuma is another product of an apartheid environment.
@ brnt034 Exactly! That also applies to the Black people who complain about how racist America is. Yet if and when they finally work up the courage to move to another country, the only countries they consider are also White-ruled and populated.
Btw, picture of me was taken in Mossel Bay, South Africa. Enjoyed a trip there with shark diving, jumped Bloukrans, paragliding over Cape Town, saw the big five, +++. Loved South Africa.
levettp Yep, so true... there is a old saying in political acedemia, which has proven to be true since the dawn of human civilazation. "When governments run out of money, they take their people to war." The SA government is flat broke, and has been since Zuma took the throne. He is just dividing the last vestages of the governments wealth between himself and his cronies, so that when the shit hits the fan he can retire somewhere nice. These people have absolutely no problem with setting the country on fire, and ofcoarse they will blame white people for everything, while they sneak away quietly. When the black population wake up, it will be too late and they will be stuck in perpetual civil war with a bunch of warlords fighting for control of the mines. This scenario has played out all over Africa, why wouldnt it happen here?
Bill Clinton Apart from economic collapse, there are political reasons that will fuel civil war as well. Whites have followed every legal political avenue to try and end discriminatory ANC legislation like BEE, AA and "land grabs". Then you also sit with the 27% unemployed that are fed up with failed ANC job creation plans. No person is as dangerous as the one who has nothing to lose! When SA economy collapses it will not be a Zimbabwe situation since they could return to rural areas where they scratched a living together for survival ... The majority of urban SA blacks have nowhere to go. It is sad to say but civil war is our only hope for positive change in SA!
Apartheid fucked the country up . If it had never occurred in the FIRST PLACE, maybe none of this shit would be going on today. What's so funny is all of these south African videos making it seem like blacks are getting everything and whites have nothing
I'm from South Africa, specifically Johannesburg. The ANC is doing a poor job since its first 2 presidents, corruption and neglect go hand in hand when it come to our government. For crying out loud our president has a minimum of 40 corruption, rape and other allegations against him, he even once remarked that 'taking a shower will get rid of HIV/Aids. Rich or poor, black or white if you go into wrong area at wrong times or do not keep your guard up you will fall victim to some sort of crime, in Africa its not 'if' it is a matter of 'when'. If you watched the press during Nelson Mandela's funeral you will see how people protested for our president to step down and if you are a citizen you would laugh at our presidents speeches.
side note: one of the problems is self defense ... criminals have more human rights than their victims. not like in america where if a criminal invades your house and intends you harm you can use lethal force.... no if they try kill you and you fight back to defend your life and they live and escape they can sue you for harm
My friend from the Army is from Cape Town. He said he'll never go back. In some cases you risk your life every time you step outside. I hear Namibia is way better, peaceful, good economy, etc. Whites and blacks get along a lot better there.
+Yuvaez I think this is one the reasons Namibia is relatively stable. Majority of African nations have way too much people. Look at Nordic European countries, they're small and very peaceful. Bigger the country, bigger the problems.
The problem is Nordic countries are being overrun by Muslims who are not assimilating to the culture so they are turning Nordic countries into Islamist Shariah law countries in the next 20 years.
My dad is from Durban and said he will never go back ever. My grandfather got them all out in the 90s from that shithole. My father wasn't a rich white like a lot of people think whites live in SA live (being wealthy).
Docter Fishy white people must move out of South Africa, and if they don't want Europe and USa to turn into South African shitholes for whites than whites must begin to stand up to the blatant anti white racism that is prevealtn in the west.
I live in Cape Town, and I think this video is a pretty accurate report. Well done Vice. What boggles my mind is: everyone (in the video) keeps admitting that the police force is in-adept, in-equipt, too small etc. to handle the crime. But then why isn't the police force being improved? Surely that makes sense. But then we mustn't just focus on the police force (or even other crime prevention initiatives), because those are merely trying to treat the symptoms of the real problem lying underneath: this country does have one of the highest "inequality" ratios in the world. And I'm not talking race. There's also very poor white people in South Africa (see White Slums in South Africa video). It's about wealth distribution. A small percentage of the population holds the most of the wealth, whilst the biggest percentage of the population doesn't have anything. And when you don't have anything, you start turning towards crime. It's a big challenge we're facing in this country, and increasing security forces alone isn't going to solve it. But we can solve it. By working together towards a better South Africa. I've been to other countries (in Europe and England and Asia), and I'm telling you: this is an amazing country. Don't quit it- or condemn it because of it's problems. But rather lets choose to become part of the solution.
+SlightlyVisible there were problems during the aparteid years but the country was stable, safe, and the economy was good, and the infrastructure was being improved and maintained. if you do some reading you will find that even Time magazine reported in the 1960's that black families were starting to get ahead, buy their own vehicles, and make a decent living. Apareid was not a good system, but I think had there been more time for a smooth transition to a government that is not completely corrupt, the country would have been much better off. I was born in South Africa and my family moved in the year 2000. There isn't a single person from family and friends that live there that I know, that hasn't been murdered, attacked, robbed, or raped. It's a real bad situation :(
+SlightlyVisible 200,000 murders since apartheid ended. Rape capital of the world, including mass baby rape (not even joking) as it's thought raping a baby cures one of AIDs (not even joking)... The world conveniently turns their eyes away though.
+SlightlyVisible yep... by the sounds of this video... apartheid caused the mass crime... But when you talk to real south africans.. even the black majority. They want it to come back.
+legendarydavo I am a South African and I can assure you that is not true at aaaall. Only racist white South Africans want Apartheid back. Apartheid was absolutely horrific for people of colour and, even though the country is in a bit of a shit place, it is far better than the vast majority being dehumanized and treated the way they were. Also, South Africa has absolutely ridiculous economic inequality as a result of Apartheid, which unfortunately drives a lot of people living in poverty to commit crimes. Obviously I'm not justifying it, but if you lived here, you might have a better understanding. Also, as this documentary shows, our police force is pathetic as fuck and very corrupt. It's easy for white South Africans to sit back and say that the country is super fucked up now, while ignoring the fact that Apartheid was the most disgusting crime of all. White people were, and still are, incredibly advantaged from Apartheid, whereas people of colour are very much still disadvantaged. Trying to justify it is wrong, because that's like insinuating that being a developed country (or whatever you guys are saying, I'm not sure) is more important than treating people of colour as humans.
I just returned from South Africa. I was aware of the crime situation before I went, and the most disappointing part of my time there was not being able to walk around like I do in Europe or the US. Everyone warned me no matter where I went. My first night in country I took an Uber to a brewery and the driver told me, "if someone tells you not to go somewhere by yourself or go at all, then don't do it".
It's really weird, even in my Californian town (which actually has a decently high crime rate compared to the rest of the state AND country) I could walk around all night and nothing would happen to me.
@@dr2599with the rates of violent Crimes in South Africa over the roof there’s not a single European country that comes close,south africa is like a war torn country.
Maaan I'm a black man, and I think we black people we got a big problem. and we need to figure out what that problem is. first of all we need to stop blaming our problems to white people, ...slavery, colonization and other bullshit like that. because indians, chinese and japanese were colonized. second we need to get together and create a movement of some kind of complacency. That means creating jobs on our own, building our infrastructure on our own, medication, food, education. and we have china to copy all from it! but all we do is to blame everything on white people. btw we should see colonization as something positive and learn form it. I know I may get some insults over this comment but its true. look at the indians... they are getting there!
Yeah the new black government had 26 years to turn things around but nothing has happened.I agree you that we should fix our problems but as long as we don't copy China- google the great leap forward and the cultural revolution.
@@khongelaningobeni6614 facts, the great leap forwards and the cultural revolution was so bad, killed millions due to one incompetent idiot, in that case, Mao
These types of stories are the main reason I am subscribed to Vice and why I watch them on HBO. Keep this up. Less on drugs and hipsters, and more on foreign affairs. Love yah guys.
I live in a small town in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Our main popular private security is called HItec. The police station has a sign outside that says "protected by HItec" . The one time I have ever called the police, the officer who answered said "what must we do???. Who gave you this number??" (I had called 1011)
Imagine how great the world would be if white people just stayed in Europe and left the rest of the world alone. Whites wouldn't be complaining about how other races are migrating into their countries and the rest of the world wouldn't be complaining about how whites migrated into their land, murdered, enslaved and oppressed them. Everyone would have had the opportunity to carve out their own futures based on their own cultures in relative peace resulting in entire civilisations and cultures alive today. Imagine North and South America unaffected by the Spanish, Portuguese or the British, or an Oceania that's only populated the the Aborigines, Maori... etc, or an Africa where the ancient cities and civilisations were allowed to prosper. It just sucks that the first civilisation that attained the technology to unite the world decided they wanted to take it all for themselves instead, and didn't care who they killed or tortured in the process... as long as they didn't look like them.
***** First off, places like China were far more civilised than Europe, they had invented things like gun powder, paper, paper money, printing, the compass, silk, porcelain, iron, steel smelting and a ton of other stuff we use today. And then we have the Arab Muslims, they invented the clock, camera, universities, surgical instruments, and let's not forget algebra. Also, why do you think the number system we use today is called Arabic numerals? Next we have the Africans, before the Europeans showed up Africa actually had huge cities in vast kingdoms. In fact around the 13th century the Kingdom of Ghana was as big as Western Europe and and traded in gold, salt and copper. It is said that the kingdom had a collection of powerful local rulers controlled by one king or emperor. Ghana was highly advanced and prosperous and it is said that the Ghanaian ruler had an army of 200,000 men - and that's just one kingdom. Oh, and let's not forget that modern music (including rock) is a black invention. You need to learn your history son - you have the world at the tip of your fingers - no excuses for ignorance.
Smoke- The common misconception is that the Arabs invented Algebra which is a lie. The Greeks invented Algebra and Geometry. The Arabs simply got their hands on it and copied it after the fall of the Greek city states. And the Camera? You know that was an 19th century invention by a European inventor. You might want to learn to use the internet instead of making things up!
Jim Jones Actually when it comes to Algebra, it is disputed whether the credit belongs to the Greek Diophantus or the Arab al-Khwarizmi. Most modern historians believe it was al-Khwarizmi because he was the one who founded the discipline of al-jabr, which is the form we use today. Diophantus method used mostly special ad hoc methods to solve equations, which is not Algebra. With the camera, I'm not even gonna argue with you - anyone who thinks that the camera was invented in the 19th century clearly knows nothing on the subject. Remember, the camera and photography are two different things. Maybe you should take your own advice and use the internet.
joel collins Africa is not a single country, just because you have tribes in one place living as hunter gatherers it doesn't mean everyone in the continent are hunter gatherers - that's like saying all whites live in old wooden houses with no electricity and water because there are whites in Russia living like that. About your ignorant crap about everywhere black being a shit hole, I suggest you look up Uniondale, New York - average income $76,000, Mitchellville, Maryland Average income $120,000, View Park-Windsor Hills, California - $160,000, and there's a ton more black affluent neighbourhoods, too many to mention. Learn about the world around you instead of assuming shit, spreading negative half truths about a group of people is just sad and pathetic - making you part of the problem.
I miss my birth country but this is why I left. The worst part of living in SA is when you say goodbye to your family to go to work it can be the last time you see them. Everything you do might just be the last. I pray that it will come right so I go home. I pray for all the people I left behind. #stay safe #stay alive
More like rising above the rest and trying to make a living for himself, get to a safer area so one day he can have a family and not having to stress about their well being everyday.
How good would their little "show" be if they got someone whose second notepad was noting who goes where & when... so his buddies know when to come back again ?? It's happening EVERY single DAY.
The DA isn't in charge of the the police. That's national government's priority, with the mis-ruling ANC keeping the policing numbers low in the Western Cape and Cape Town.
That guy at the end looks so happy. He's so humble we westerners take for granted a lot of stuff. I pray that he is safe out there protecting his people ✌
we take it for granted our country, at least today in 2020, is run by people that aren't completely corrupt, ignorant and have their heads shoved firmly up their own asses like in south Africa.
I live in the Western Cape and the scariest part is that crime has rapidly increased and spread into the small towns surrounding Cape Town. This documentary is both accurate and informative. Thank you
violent past ....... Poland has had a violent past , no such huge crime problem apartheid past ........ Namibia had it just as bad , no such huge crime problem poor people struggle to survive ,,,,,, Russians had it bad , no such huge crime problem and the list is long people should stop try to find other reasons , people to blame
I used to work with an engineer and he told me stories of how the gang rob the aircraft cargo on the runway on the day he landed and taxi drivers does not stop at red light on certain parts of town.

Its weird seeing a different perspective on things, I've lived in SA all my life and I think while it has problems I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Your home is your home. Documentaries often don't show mundane life only the extremes. Also count yourself lucky it doesn't get down to -35°c in SA as it does in the region of Canada where I live :)
I want to help your country improve. I want to influence populations of others to help this planet improve for the better of all. I hate that people are basically forced to leave their own country especially all because of their race which is stupid.
@@jam5533 Jesus dude, relax, nobody wants anybody to leave the country, quit listening to racist minorities of black people, and just chill. Or better yet, instead of complaining on TH-cam, go out and make a positive difference in the black community.
One of the worst things are that these criminals attack the first responders as well. If you call an ambulance for a shooting incident, they will not respond unless a police vehicle accompanies them, which usually takes time, in a situation where every second counts.
Is there a way to get in contact with this security guard? I loved his attitude. I would like to donate a TV and some funds to him, just to help him out and let him know God loves him.
a tv would only bring him trouble thats why he dont bother with a tv as it keeps him safer the poorer you look wish they had blocked his face it just takes one with a tv/internet and big mouth and poor bloke be dead
You guys giving Kevin a hard time for making a joke. who's the fools are the ones that would send him a TV causing him to get robbed or even killed. Liberals still cannot comprehend the phrase unattended consequences.
@DealBreakerz and they dont try to fix it making it more unstable. It's kinda how the Soviets started to many civil wars in Africa to get rid of us influence. Happened in congo and many other places only difference is the Soviets arent a thing and no ones meddling but themselves.
Born in SA very privileged to grow up in the better side of the country, the side people never show it's always the bad side. But I do agree that SA is dangerous IN SOME PARTS!
This is so freaking hilarious. The police (public servant law enforcers) are so corrupt and inept, that people got fed up and created their own police to get the job done. Might as well just make the private security that gets the job done the official police. Do you realize how messed up that is? You're forced to pay taxes for a government that provides such garbage police services, and you don't have a choice to say, "No thanks I will use my money to pay this private group to protect me". There's something really wrong with that.
I lived in RSA for +30 years and loved almost all of it, went to school, military and completed a full apprenticeship, i think it is a beautiful country but sadly the violence has got out of control. I am fortunate i have a british passport and now live in Scotland. For all visitors please be very careful.
As a Dutch guy it’s staggering how many of their sentences I can understand, since it’s mostly just Dutch and English with their own words scattered throughout, plus a bit of French. Colonialism had such an impact on these people it’s almost sad to see it leaving irreversible traces to this day.
These documentaries make me appreciate my life so much more! I make my son watch these , my husband and I teach him to be grateful for what u have! Bc when u think u have it bad, Someone else has it much worse!
I wouldn't even trust the security guards in South Africa. My sister was threatened with a knife by one. He stole her selphone and money. And this was in a relatively safe area in Capetown. My sister also knows a lot of people who experienced similar things. Crazy what a dangerous place South Africa is.
When they said "only four murders last year in the neighbourhood" followed by "fear of perceived crime" 😂 Yeah i would love to live in a area where four people are murdered every year.
To get this low level of crime, one needs to change culture. When the family structure breaks down and children aren't raise by two parents, there will be crime. When a culture doesn't believe that education is not important, there will be crime. Living in another area isn't the solution. Change the culture and the crime level goes down.
Lol thats where I live (Literally the place in the video) but I still carry a taser and pepper spray. This kid in my school recently had a home invasion where he was almost beaten to death a long with some of his family members. My friends father was killed like 5 minuets from where my gran lives. I'll honestly move if anything happens to her though.. no white women has tried to embrace South African cultures like her, she studies traditional South African medicine and they only stopped giving her hell at the conference because she's Jewish and many understood the level of persecution that they faced in the past. Many robbers can be extremely superstitious and the last time we were robbed they drank enough distilled herbs to possibly kill them this was 10 years ago lol. She got some warding things from a friend and we've had no trouble.
Chris Fodor Cape town doesn’t sound like Detroit. Real simple statement. I’m in Detroit every other month for business. It’s not in “complete decay”. The OP just used the buzzword of #Detroit as negative that’s all. Not 1st hand experience in either of these cities. Spoken like a person with limited access to real information and experience. Not an insult by any means, an observation.
@lazer tag This is Cape Town. Most of those you think are ''blacks'' would kill you if you called them that, they hate blacks. They are cape coloureds. They are mixed race - mix of Dutch, Indonesian and black as well as bushman blood, dating back 350 years when it was a Dutch-owned settlement. They are disenfranchised now because all government is black i.e. 100% black, but under apartheid they were second class, under whites but above blacks. The way to know if someone is black or coloured is by his name - blacks have African surnames and often first names, coloureds have European - mostly Dutch - first and surnames, as well as by their accent, coloureds' first language is Afrikaans i.e. Dutch, blacks speak tribal African languages and/or English as a first language and hate the Afrikaans language. Also where they live in Cape Town is telling, if they are in Mitchellsplain they are coloured, if they live in Khayelitsha they are black.
everybody is always looking at apartheid; look at all the history before apartheid and you will see that the boers were slaughtered and hunted down everywhere they went, by the british and the zulu _ while they were also just looking for some land to call their own, after being left here and having to run from the colonial forces and being double crossed by the zulu people who the boers originally traded cattle and resources with to buy some land from dingane; whos people killed the boers because of colonial bribary and propaganda... the power the boers had, were very short lived. by the way, that segregation was also not initially set in place by the boers; the boers and blacks were segregated from each other by other powers for their own agendas.
That's not true. South Africa is mainly middle class and poor. The rich are few and far between. What this video fails to mention is most of those houses on the beach and at Table Mountain don't belong to white South Africans. Rather too rich foreigners!
***** more like your 'no cents' lol. How does someone who thinks ending a human right violation on other people is a worst solution live within us functionally (based only on the fact that u have access to a computer) today jeez
River Wood, as previous comments, that part of CT is owned by gay foreigners! Post apartheid SA has an ever expanding middle class, try buy a house, go to a store, etc. What is also occurring, is unchecked of influx of foreign blacks taking top jobs, taking menial positions and doing crime. As for human rights violations; note the current govt recently tried a bill gagging the media (as in ZIM), and periodically try to alter the law to violate their constitution.
And has become worse POST APARTHEID, as has corruption, nepotism and RACISM. How can a >10% minority be the only racists? Apartheid exists all over the world, it existed in Britain, English against Scot and Ire, Welsh. It was even in law centuries ago across Europe, Asia and India.
@@ArunexFreelancer Do you not acknowledge that the mining industry is often exploitative, or do you not care just because they pay a certain amount in taxes?
@@ArunexFreelancer So that I can better understand your position for explaining it to you, is the concept entirely foreign to you, or is that you just can't think of specific examples so you wanted me to list some?

Herman Pienaar The point of democracy is to have competition so that they will at least try to out do each other. I definitely think there are parties more competent than the ANC. We just have to change every now and then, It's unhealthy for the country to stay with the same party for 20 years
That makes sense, at least the part about not wanting one party to rule for too long. I guess I just have too little understanding of the differences between the pollitical parties to see that one could be more competent than the other. I also believe that the anc will only become competent once they concist of educated people, who weren't part of the people who lived in appartheid and didn't get a propper education. So maybe we may have competent leaders in another 9 years or so?

I used to lived in South Africa for 10 years not by choice but I married a South African, it sucked to live there. I’m now living in Manitoba. I’d rather be living in the cold country than South Africa. I’m so grateful to get Canadian Permanent residence last month otherwise I’d have to return there when our work permits expire.

This is actually a great example of how the market provides. 4 murders in the protected zone versus 104 in the unprotected. If it was not for the private security force the whole city would be a murder-zone.
perceived threat of crime? 16:07? I am South African and there isn't a PERCEIVED threat of crime in a wealthy neighborhood. Nice choice of words. It is a very real threat of crime. Just because its a wealthy area and there are less murders doesnt mean there isnt crime.

+Proudly South African Are you trying to get people killed, you piece of shit? South Africa is a nation where you can't even buy a pack of cigarettes without fearing for your life. It's a fucking country where you can't even feel safe if your windows doesn't have iron bars. Fuck you.
"The concern for safety amongst south africa's elite doesn't come close to those living in poor underdeveloped communities, where 80% of the crime in the country actually occurs. Phillip guards a neighbourhood that saw only 4 murders last year. He lives in an area with over a 160 murders. Where he works, private companies profit from the perceived fear of crime." Wow, you completely missed the mark, didn't you guys? Only four murders in a neighbourhood? That's extremely serious. There's no perceived fear. Only real fear. If these fortifications and private security were not in place. Then this ''rich'' community would be RAIDED by the people from the slums. Like it was an English village being raided by the vikings. There would be nothing left, man. Everyone would be murdered and everything would have been looted.
Life in South Africa was better for everyone under apartheid... certain people are completely unable to gouvern themselves. They have done large scale surveys in South Africa, more than 60% of the population say that life has gotten worse since 1994.

Thanks Ocean Blue( idiot) for telling us about your bigotry. In the same way Children that were abused have trouble adapting to the world afterwards the majority of South-Africans have trouble recovering from being abused and robbed for centuries by colonial powers and the remaining vestiges of that white power.
Of course it's easier to blame the victims than their well armed oppressors so i can understand why cowards such as yourself do what you do. Sucking up to the powerful is how you probably think you can get enough power to abuse others.
the whites relinquished their power and this is what happened, are you even thinking?
The whites kept their wealth and the vast majority of their economic power intact and that is part of why the country looks the way it does. The reality of course is that the overwhelming majority of the violence happens to the very people that still has no economic or much political power in the country while the middle class/white people are still by far the least likely group to be victims of crime; we can afford to hide and take precautions with all our 'stolen' ( state subsidy's) wealth.
The problem on this comment section is that the large majority of those who feel compelled to make their opinions heard still stupidly believe in that ridiculous construct called race and try to see the world trough their narrow lens of presumed racial superiority instead of reading or thinking about the past.

I am a white South African and i would like to say this. Nobody really realizes how bad the African National Congress runs SA since taking over 20 years ago (Nelson Mandela etc.). I was young enough to remember living in a violent free society under the apartheid government, no strikes, no joblessness, no crime etc. I have to immigrate to Australia soon, i cannot deal with the consistent strikes by the 70% jobless people, the absolutely useless government facilities, the bad crime, the corruption in government etc. Does that make me racist? I have 3 black friends that agree it would be better to immigrate as SA is going downhill. Stop blaming apartheid for the current situation, it has been 20 years since apartheid and start looking at the incompetent and corrupt Africa governments!!
You are white, of course the apartheid government benefited you. And now this is the result of it. The corrupt government, police incompetence and poverty are all a result of the apartheid. Nobody was suffering before the arrival of Europeans.
Puertoricanpapi Seems everyone has an opinion but does not know the facts. I was a poor white South African that lost a business 4 years ago (during the ANC rule). I was able to pick myself up and build my business again. I was also 7 years old when the apartheid regime ended. Where did i benifit from the apartheid regime at all besides working hard myself, as apposed to all the black people that just expect something for nothing?
ShaunJW1 White privilege in apartheid South Africa is a fact. The way you describe your childhood in your first comment is proof of that. Blacks will have a different story
Blacks in South Africa were denied access to proper education, you were not, so you have the skills required to rebuild your business.
Now, South Africa is suffering the consequences of their racism. A generation of ill-educated blacks in management positions and poorly socialized youth committing crimes.

The people who complain about discrimination would be the first to leave their "brothers" and live in a white neighbourhood. Hard truth.

SA is on road to civil war ... I can't wait!
***** Already seen it. I recommend watching Scars of Rwanda.
levettp Yep, so true... there is a old saying in political acedemia, which has proven to be true since the dawn of human civilazation. "When governments run out of money, they take their people to war." The SA government is flat broke, and has been since Zuma took the throne. He is just dividing the last vestages of the governments wealth between himself and his cronies, so that when the shit hits the fan he can retire somewhere nice. These people have absolutely no problem with setting the country on fire, and ofcoarse they will blame white people for everything, while they sneak away quietly. When the black population wake up, it will be too late and they will be stuck in perpetual civil war with a bunch of warlords fighting for control of the mines. This scenario has played out all over Africa, why wouldnt it happen here?
Bill Clinton Apart from economic collapse, there are political reasons that will fuel civil war as well. Whites have followed every legal political avenue to try and end discriminatory ANC legislation like BEE, AA and "land grabs". Then you also sit with the 27% unemployed that are fed up with failed ANC job creation plans. No person is as dangerous as the one who has nothing to lose! When SA economy collapses it will not be a Zimbabwe situation since they could return to rural areas where they scratched a living together for survival ... The majority of urban SA blacks have nowhere to go. It is sad to say but civil war is our only hope for positive change in SA!
Apartheid fucked the country up . If it had never occurred in the FIRST PLACE, maybe none of this shit would be going on today. What's so funny is all of these south African videos making it seem like blacks are getting everything and whites have nothing

I'm from South Africa, specifically Johannesburg. The ANC is doing a poor job since its first 2 presidents, corruption and neglect go hand in hand when it come to our government. For crying out loud our president has a minimum of 40 corruption, rape and other allegations against him, he even once remarked that 'taking a shower will get rid of HIV/Aids. Rich or poor, black or white if you go into wrong area at wrong times or do not keep your guard up you will fall victim to some sort of crime, in Africa its not 'if' it is a matter of 'when'. If you watched the press during Nelson Mandela's funeral you will see how people protested for our president to step down and if you are a citizen you would laugh at our presidents speeches.
side note: one of the problems is self defense ... criminals have more human rights than their victims. not like in america where if a criminal invades your house and intends you harm you can use lethal force.... no if they try kill you and you fight back to defend your life and they live and escape they can sue you for harm
God bless Philip for his dedication & tenacity. I hope he's able to stay safe & well and someday live in a place without such terrible evil.
My friend from the Army is from Cape Town. He said he'll never go back. In some cases you risk your life every time you step outside. I hear Namibia is way better, peaceful, good economy, etc. Whites and blacks get along a lot better there.
Yuvaez Yeah, only 2 million people. Beautiful wildlife and surfing though, from what I hear.
+Yuvaez I think this is one the reasons Namibia is relatively stable. Majority of African nations have way too much people. Look at Nordic European countries, they're small and very peaceful. Bigger the country, bigger the problems.
The problem is Nordic countries are being overrun by Muslims who are not assimilating to the culture so they are turning Nordic countries into Islamist Shariah law countries in the next 20 years.
My dad is from Durban and said he will never go back ever. My grandfather got them all out in the 90s from that shithole. My father wasn't a rich white like a lot of people think whites live in SA live (being wealthy).
Docter Fishy white people must move out of South Africa, and if they don't want Europe and USa to turn into South African shitholes for whites than whites must begin to stand up to the blatant anti white racism that is prevealtn in the west.
I live in Cape Town, and I think this video is a pretty accurate report. Well done Vice. What boggles my mind is: everyone (in the video) keeps admitting that the police force is in-adept, in-equipt, too small etc. to handle the crime. But then why isn't the police force being improved? Surely that makes sense. But then we mustn't just focus on the police force (or even other crime prevention initiatives), because those are merely trying to treat the symptoms of the real problem lying underneath: this country does have one of the highest "inequality" ratios in the world. And I'm not talking race. There's also very poor white people in South Africa (see White Slums in South Africa video). It's about wealth distribution. A small percentage of the population holds the most of the wealth, whilst the biggest percentage of the population doesn't have anything. And when you don't have anything, you start turning towards crime. It's a big challenge we're facing in this country, and increasing security forces alone isn't going to solve it. But we can solve it. By working together towards a better South Africa. I've been to other countries (in Europe and England and Asia), and I'm telling you: this is an amazing country. Don't quit it- or condemn it because of it's problems. But rather lets choose to become part of the solution.
So all these problems started after apartheid ended?
+SlightlyVisible there were problems during the aparteid years but the country was stable, safe, and the economy was good, and the infrastructure was being improved and maintained. if you do some reading you will find that even Time magazine reported in the 1960's that black families were starting to get ahead, buy their own vehicles, and make a decent living. Apareid was not a good system, but I think had there been more time for a smooth transition to a government that is not completely corrupt, the country would have been much better off. I was born in South Africa and my family moved in the year 2000. There isn't a single person from family and friends that live there that I know, that hasn't been murdered, attacked, robbed, or raped. It's a real bad situation :(
+peter h Where did your family move to ?
+SlightlyVisible 200,000 murders since apartheid ended. Rape capital of the world, including mass baby rape (not even joking) as it's thought raping a baby cures one of AIDs (not even joking)... The world conveniently turns their eyes away though.
+SlightlyVisible yep... by the sounds of this video... apartheid caused the mass crime... But when you talk to real south africans.. even the black majority. They want it to come back.
+legendarydavo I am a South African and I can assure you that is not true at aaaall. Only racist white South Africans want Apartheid back. Apartheid was absolutely horrific for people of colour and, even though the country is in a bit of a shit place, it is far better than the vast majority being dehumanized and treated the way they were.
Also, South Africa has absolutely ridiculous economic inequality as a result of Apartheid, which unfortunately drives a lot of people living in poverty to commit crimes. Obviously I'm not justifying it, but if you lived here, you might have a better understanding. Also, as this documentary shows, our police force is pathetic as fuck and very corrupt.
It's easy for white South Africans to sit back and say that the country is super fucked up now, while ignoring the fact that Apartheid was the most disgusting crime of all. White people were, and still are, incredibly advantaged from Apartheid, whereas people of colour are very much still disadvantaged.
Trying to justify it is wrong, because that's like insinuating that being a developed country (or whatever you guys are saying, I'm not sure) is more important than treating people of colour as humans.
I just returned from South Africa. I was aware of the crime situation before I went, and the most disappointing part of my time there was not being able to walk around like I do in Europe or the US. Everyone warned me no matter where I went. My first night in country I took an Uber to a brewery and the driver told me, "if someone tells you not to go somewhere by yourself or go at all, then don't do it".
It's really weird, even in my Californian town (which actually has a decently high crime rate compared to the rest of the state AND country) I could walk around all night and nothing would happen to me.
It's the same as the US.

I live in a small town in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Our main popular private security is called HItec. The police station has a sign outside that says "protected by HItec" .

Imagine how great the world would be if white people just stayed in Europe and left the rest of the world alone. Whites wouldn't be complaining about how other races are migrating into their countries and the rest of the world wouldn't be complaining about how whites migrated into their land, murdered, enslaved and oppressed them. Everyone would have had the opportunity to carve out their own futures based on their own cultures in relative peace resulting in entire civilisations and cultures alive today. Imagine North and South America unaffected by the Spanish, Portuguese or the British, or an Oceania that's only populated the the Aborigines, Maori... etc, or an Africa where the ancient cities and civilisations were allowed to prosper. It just sucks that the first civilisation that attained the technology to unite the world decided they wanted to take it all for themselves instead, and didn't care who they killed or tortured in the process... as long as they didn't look like them.
*****
First off, places like China were far more civilised than Europe, they had invented things like gun powder, paper, paper money, printing, the compass, silk, porcelain, iron, steel smelting and a ton of other stuff we use today.
And then we have the Arab Muslims, they invented the clock, camera, universities, surgical instruments, and let's not forget algebra. Also, why do you think the number system we use today is called Arabic numerals?
Next we have the Africans, before the Europeans showed up Africa actually had huge cities in vast kingdoms. In fact around the 13th century the Kingdom of Ghana was as big as Western Europe and and traded in gold, salt and copper. It is said that the kingdom had a collection of powerful local rulers controlled by one king or emperor. Ghana was highly advanced and prosperous and it is said that the Ghanaian ruler had an army of 200,000 men - and that's just one kingdom.
Oh, and let's not forget that modern music (including rock) is a black invention.
You need to learn your history son - you have the world at the tip of your fingers - no excuses for ignorance.
Smoke- The common misconception is that the Arabs invented Algebra which is a lie. The Greeks invented Algebra and Geometry. The Arabs simply got their hands on it and copied it after the fall of the Greek city states. And the Camera? You know that was an 19th century invention by a European inventor.
You might want to learn to use the internet instead of making things up!
Jim Jones
Actually when it comes to Algebra, it is disputed whether the credit belongs to the Greek Diophantus or the Arab al-Khwarizmi. Most modern historians believe it was al-Khwarizmi because he was the one who founded the discipline of al-jabr, which is the form we use today. Diophantus method used mostly special ad hoc methods to solve equations, which is not Algebra.
With the camera, I'm not even gonna argue with you - anyone who thinks that the camera was invented in the 19th century clearly knows nothing on the subject. Remember, the camera and photography are two different things.
Maybe you should take your own advice and use the internet.

Africa is not a single country, just because you have tribes in one place living as hunter gatherers it doesn't mean everyone in the continent are hunter gatherers - that's like saying all whites live in old wooden houses with no electricity and water because there are whites in Russia living like that.
About your ignorant crap about everywhere black being a shit hole, I suggest you look up Uniondale, New York - average income $76,000, Mitchellville, Maryland Average income $120,000, View Park-Windsor Hills, California - $160,000, and there's a ton more black affluent neighbourhoods, too many to mention.
Learn about the world around you instead of assuming shit, spreading negative half truths about a group of people is just sad and pathetic - making you part of the problem.
Smoke the problem wasn't Europeans exploring. The problem was empire and a want to conquer.
Bless the police that are not corupt in South Africa and doing their job.

The sa police are a gang of there own
One of the worst things are that these criminals attack the first responders as well. If you call an ambulance for a shooting incident, they will not respond unless a police vehicle accompanies them, which usually takes time, in a situation where every second counts.
Is there a way to get in contact with this security guard? I loved his attitude. I would like to donate a TV and some funds to him, just to help him out and let him know God loves him.
a tv would only bring him trouble thats why he dont bother with a tv as it keeps him safer the poorer you look wish they had blocked his face
it just takes one with a tv/internet and big mouth and poor bloke be dead

Do you realize how messed up that is? You're forced to pay taxes for a government that provides such garbage police services, and you don't have a choice to say, "No thanks I will use my money to pay this private group to protect me". There's something really wrong with that.

When they said "only four murders last year in the neighbourhood" followed by "fear of perceived crime" 😂 Yeah i would love to live in a area where four people are murdered every year.
One murder per year in my city disturbs me.
To get this low level of crime, one needs to change culture. When the family structure breaks down and children aren't raise by two parents, there will be crime. When a culture doesn't believe that education is not important, there will be crime. Living in another area isn't the solution. Change the culture and the crime level goes down.
Lol thats where I live (Literally the place in the video) but I still carry a taser and pepper spray. This kid in my school recently had a home invasion where he was almost beaten to death a long with some of his family members. My friends father was killed like 5 minuets from where my gran lives. I'll honestly move if anything happens to her though.. no white women has tried to embrace South African cultures like her, she studies traditional South African medicine and they only stopped giving her hell at the conference because she's Jewish and many understood the level of persecution that they faced in the past. Many robbers can be extremely superstitious and the last time we were robbed they drank enough distilled herbs to possibly kill them this was 10 years ago lol. She got some warding things from a friend and we've had no trouble.

@lazer tag This is Cape Town. Most of those you think are ''blacks'' would kill you if you called them that, they hate blacks. They are cape coloureds. They are mixed race - mix of Dutch, Indonesian and black as well as bushman blood, dating back 350 years when it was a Dutch-owned settlement. They are disenfranchised now because all government is black i.e. 100% black, but under apartheid they were second class, under whites but above blacks. The way to know if someone is black or coloured is by his name - blacks have African surnames and often first names, coloureds have European - mostly Dutch - first and surnames, as well as by their accent, coloureds' first language is Afrikaans i.e. Dutch, blacks speak tribal African languages and/or English as a first language and hate the Afrikaans language. Also where they live in Cape Town is telling, if they are in Mitchellsplain they are coloured, if they live in Khayelitsha they are black.
@Arthur Wilk think you missed it was about Detriot not having many whites
We need a gofundme or something for that security guard. His attitude is something we could all use in our cynical, yet privileged lives.
only 4 murders that year in a neighborhood...

I would try to reply to you but your probably the type of guy that believes that white genocide is a thing so...
everybody is always looking at apartheid; look at all the history before apartheid and you will see that the boers were slaughtered and hunted down everywhere they went, by the british and the zulu _ while they were also just looking for some land to call their own, after being left here and having to run from the colonial forces and being double crossed by the zulu people who the boers originally traded cattle and resources with to buy some land from dingane; whos people killed the boers because of colonial bribary and propaganda... the power the boers had, were very short lived. by the way, that segregation was also not initially set in place by the boers; the boers and blacks were segregated from each other by other powers for their own agendas.
Yeah, and only because it is under protection.

River Wood, as previous comments, that part of CT is owned by gay foreigners!
Post apartheid SA has an ever expanding middle class, try buy a house, go to a store, etc. What is also occurring, is unchecked of influx of foreign blacks taking top jobs, taking menial positions and doing crime. As for human rights violations; note the current govt recently tried a bill gagging the media (as in ZIM), and periodically try to alter the law to violate their constitution.
And has become worse POST APARTHEID, as has corruption, nepotism and RACISM. How can a >10% minority be the only racists? Apartheid exists all over the world, it existed in Britain, English against Scot and Ire, Welsh. It was even in law centuries ago across Europe, Asia and India.

The point of democracy is to have competition so that they will at least try to out do each other. I definitely think there are parties more competent than the ANC. We just have to change every now and then, It's unhealthy for the country to stay with the same party for 20 years
That makes sense, at least the part about not wanting one party to rule for too long. I guess I just have too little understanding of the differences between the pollitical parties to see that one could be more competent than the other. I also believe that the anc will only become competent once they concist of educated people, who weren't part of the people who lived in appartheid and didn't get a propper education. So maybe we may have competent leaders in another 9 years or so?
The people aren't even competent in doing that, let alone running a country.
